Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets of the Company decreased $22.0 million, or 3.0%, to $708.0 million at March 31, 2010 from $730.0 million at September 30, 2009. Significant changes in individual categories include decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $13.3 million, securities available-for-sale of $4.7 million, and net loans of $20.0 million, partially offset by increases in securities held-to-maturity of $12.6 million and other assets of $2.8 million. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is a result of the Company repaying $25.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances that matured during the current quarter. The decrease in net loans reflects $54.3 million of prepayments, partially offset by $32.9 million in loan originations. The increase in other assets is primarily due to the FDIC requiring all insured depository institutions to prepay their federal deposit insurance assessment through 2012. The prepayment was due on December 30, 2009 and was based on the institutions assessment base and assessment rate as of September 30, 2009 assuming a 5% annual growth in deposits and a three basis point increase in the assessment rate during years 2011 and 2012.

Total liabilities of the Company decreased $23.2 million, or 3.4%, to $659.7 million at March 31, 2010 from $682.9 million at September 30, 2009. Significant changes include a decrease in long-term debt of $25.1 million, partially offset by an increase in deposits of $2.3 million. As mentioned above, the decrease in long-term debt was a result of the Company repaying $25.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances that matured during the current quarter. The increase in deposits is primarily attributed to an increase in checking accounts of $3.3 million, an increase in savings accounts of $5.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $4.9 million and a decrease in money market accounts of $1.3 million.

The increase in net income primarily reflects a decrease in other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on certain investment securities of $1.3 million.
