Bancorp s total assets increased $67.4 million from $913.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $980.8 million at June 30, 2009. The growth in total assets was funded primarily by deposit growth of $74.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $153.1 million to $177.7 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2008 as a result of Bancorp placing excess overnight funds at the Federal Reserve Bank in order to enhance the yield on this segment of the portfolio.

Bancorp s net loan portfolio decreased $75.7 million from $788.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $712.9 million at June 30, 2009. The significant decrease is primarily a result of loan payoffs and decreases in construction loans of $37.5 million, commercial real estate loans of $20.6 million, construction-to-permanent loans of $14.7 million and commercial loans of $9.5 million, offset by increases of $5.1 million in residential real estate loans and $1.3 million in home equity loans. The decrease in the loan portfolio is also a result of net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $7.2 million and the shift of $5.4 million to Other Real Estate Owned. Also, in an effort to reduce its concentration in construction and commercial real estate loans, Bancorp has not been originating new loans in these portfolios.

The $119.9 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009 is comprised of exposure to forty-three borrowers, for which a specific reserve of $4.4 million has been established. Loans totaling $111.3 million are collateral dependent and are secured by residential or commercial real estate located within the Bank s market area. In all cases, the Bank has obtained current appraisal reports from independent licensed appraisal firms and discounted those values for estimated liquidation expenses to determine estimated impairment. Based on the Bank s analysis for loan impairment, specific reserves totaling $4.1 million are related to collateral dependent loans. Impairment related to loans totaling $8.6 million to six borrowers has been measured based on discounted cash flows resulted in specific reserves of $285,000. Such loans are also secured by real estate. Of the $119.9 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009, twenty-five borrowers with aggregate balances of $48.8 million continue to make loan payments and these loans are current as to payments.

Total deposits increased $74.6 million, or 9%, from $784.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $859.4 million at June 30, 2009. Demand deposits increased $2.2 million. Interest bearing accounts increased $72.4 million, money market accounts, savings deposits and certificates of deposits increased $50.3 million, $13.5 million, and $4.8 million, respectively. NOW accounts increased $3.8 million primarily due to growth in IOLTA accounts. Money market accounts increased as customers refrained from locking in long-term rates in the current lower rate environment. The growth is also attributable to depositors placing funds in FDIC-insured products during these uncertain economic times.
