Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets increased $11.0 million to $415.2 million at March 31, 2009,

compared to $404.2 million at the end of 2008. The increase was due primarily to

the $9.4 million increase in loans held for sale due to the high demand for

refinancing existing residential loans because of the low interest rates. Loans

increased by $1.7 million or 0.60% to $282.2 million during the period. Total

average interest-earning assets increased $29.5 million during the period to

$390.8 million and were 96.4% of total average assets at March 31, 2009. Total

deposits increased by $19.5 million or 6.7% to $311.8 million as of March 31,

2009 from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Certificate of deposit

accounts increased $14.3 million while non-interest bearing checking, lower

interest bearing checking, savings accounts and money market accounts increased

$1.5 million, $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million respectively.

Stockholders' equity increased 29.9% or $8.2 million to $35.6 million at March

31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to the $9.2 million raised through the

sale of Series A Preferred Stock, net income of $488,000, all of which was

partially offset by dividends paid of $205,000 and a decrease in accumulated

other comprehensive income of $1.3 million. The decrease in accumulated other

comprehensive income was due to the decrease in the fair market value of the

available for sale securities and the decrease in the fair market value of the

effective cash flow hedge.



Total deposits increased by $19.5 million or 6.7% to $311.8 million as of

March 31, 2009, from $292.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Certificate of

deposit accounts increased $14.3 million while non-interest bearing checking,

lower-interest bearing checking, savings accounts and money market accounts

increased $1.5 million, $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million,

respectively.



Interest and fee income on loans decreased 3.0% primarily due to the

decline in interest rates, with total interest income decreasing 1.4%. Net

interest income was substantially the same at $3.4 million for the quarter ended

March 31, 2009 and 2008. The decrease in net interest income due to compression

of the Company's net interest margin to 3.63% for the three months ended March

31, 2009 from 4.18% in the comparable period in 2008 was offset by the $58.1

million or 17.5% increase in average interest earning assets. Non interest

income increased 9.4% or $156,000 to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2009

compared to the first quarter of 2008. The increase was due to the $381,000

increase in mortgage banking fees and gains partially offset by the $87,000

decrease in brokerage commissions, $43,000 decrease in Electronic Banking and

the $81,000 decrease in security gains.



Noninterest expenses were $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 and

2008. Salaries increased $113,000 due to normal salary increases and increased

commissions paid primarily to the loan originators in the mortgage subsidiary

(CMSI). Because of the low interest rates, loan originations due to refinancing

of residential loans increased significantly in 2009, compared to the same

period in 2008. Professional fees increased $45,000 due to an increase in

consulting fees and legal fees related to delinquencies and foreclosures. Other

operating expenses increased $160,000 due to the $116,000 increase in the FDIC

insurance premiums due to the FDIC raising premiums, deposits increasing $34.1

million and the one time credit assessment fully utilized as of December 31,

2008. Also, OREO expenses increased $28,000 and various loan expenses, i.e.

appraisals, credit reports, and fees related to collection of loans increased

$35,000. These increases were partially offset by the $368,000 charge recorded

in 2008 for closing the Wilkens drive-thru and decreases in various other

expenses.

The Company also has external sources of funds through the FRB and FHLB,

which can be drawn upon when required. There is a line of credit totaling

approximately $64 million with the FHLB based on qualifying loans pledged as

collateral. Also the Company can pledge securities at the FRB and FHLB and

borrow approximately 97% of the fair market value of the securities. In

addition, the Company had $32.7 million of securities pledged at the FHLB under

which the Company's subsidiary, Carrollton Bank, could have borrowed

approximately $31.7 million. Also, Carrollton Bank has $8.0 million of

securities pledged at FRB under which it could have borrowed approximately $7.7

million. Outstanding borrowings at the FHLB were $51.5 million at March 31,

2009. Additionally, the Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit of

$5.0 million and a $10.0 secured federal funds line of credit with other

institutions. The secured federal funds line of credit with another institution

would require Carrollton Bank to transfer securities pledged at the FHLB or FRB

to this institution before Carrollton Bank could borrow against this line. There

was no balance outstanding under these lines at March 31, 2009. These lines bear

interest at the current federal funds rate of the correspondent bank.
