Highlight of Business Operations:

Excluding the effects of non-operating items such as securities gains and other-than-temporary impairment charges, first quarter 2009 operating net earnings were approximately $1.8 million, or $0.51 per share, compared to first quarter 2008 operating net earnings of approximately $1.8 million, or $0.50 per share.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) was approximately $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 5% from the first quarter of 2008 reflecting balance sheet growth. Average loans were up to $372.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $42.9 million, or 13%, from the first quarter of 2008. Average deposits were up to $580.9 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of 14% from the first quarter of 2008.

Operating noninterest income (which excludes non-operating items mentioned below) was approximately $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of $0.7 million or 53% from the first quarter of 2008. This increase is largely due to an increase in mortgage lending income. Mortgage lending income was approximately $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately $0.9 million from the first quarter of 2008.

Total noninterest income (loss) was a loss of $89 thousand in the first quarter of 2009, compared to approximately $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2008. Non-operating noninterest income in the first quarter of 2009 included a $2.1 million net loss on securities. The net loss on securities was attributable to a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.0 million, offset by a $0.9 million gross gain on the sale of securities.

Noninterest income decreased by approximately $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The primary reason for the decrease was a net securities loss of $2.1 million, offset by an increase in mortgage lending income of $0.9 million. The net loss on securities was attributable to a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.0 million, offset by a $0.9 million gross gain on the sale of securities. Mortgage lending income typically fluctuates as mortgage interest rates change and is primarily attributable to increased volume in the origination and sale of new mortgage loans.

Securities available-for-sale were $358.4 million and $302.7 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The net unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale was $1.4 million at March 31, 2009 compared to an unrealized net gain of $1.0 million at December 31, 2008. Decreases in the fair value of securities available-for-sale during the first quarter of 2009 were primarily driven by changes in the values of trust preferred securities.
