Highlight of Business Operations:

Loan Portfolio. Our loan portfolio decreased $6.0 million or 0.2% to $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. Real estate commercial mortgages increased 4.17% to $701.4 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $673.4 million at December 31, 2008. Real estate residential mortgages decreased 4.04% to $507.4 million at June 30, 2009 as compared with $528.8 million at December 31, 2008. Commercial loans decreased 1.6% to $444.2 million at June 30, 2009 compared with $451.4 million at December 31, 2008. Installment loans to individuals decreased 18.7% to $40.7 million at June 30, 2009 compared with $50.1 million at December 31, 2008. Construction loans also decreased 1.46% to $884.2 million at June 30, 2009 as compared with $897.3 million at December 31, 2008, thus lowering the concentration of construction loans to 34.0% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2009 compared with 34.5% at December 31, 2008. In the future, management intends to reduce the construction and development portion of the portfolio and increase the commercial portion.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The purpose of the allowance for loan losses is to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management reviews our loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. In addition to the review of credit quality through ongoing credit review processes, we periodically conduct an independent analysis of our loan portfolio. During the second quarter of 2009, we engaged an independent credit consulting firm to conduct an analysis of our loan portfolio. Since risks to the loan portfolio include general economic trends as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, the allowance is an estimate. The allowance for loan losses was $84.5 million or 3.3% of outstanding loans as of June 30, 2009 compared with $51.2 million or 1.97% of outstanding loans as of December 31, 2008. We increased the allowance for loan losses $33.3 million (net of charge-offs and recoveries) during the second quarter of 2009 as a result of deterioration in our loan credit quality, the continuing softening in the economies and decrease in real estate values in several of our markets, increase in charge-offs and non-performing assets, and the results of the independent review of the portfolio. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 4.95% at June 30, 2009 from 3.19% at March 31, 2009 as non-accrual loans increased $56.3 million. Total non-accrual loans aggregated $142.8 million at June 30, 2009 as compared with $86.5 million at March 31, 2009 and $32.9 million at December 31, 2008. Net charge-offs were $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $209,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.

Deposits. Deposits are the primary source of our funds for use in lending and general business purposes. Our balance sheet growth is largely determined by the availability of deposits in our market, the cost of attracting the deposits, and the prospects of profitably utilizing the available deposits by increasing the loan or investment portfolios. Total deposits at June 30, 2009 decreased $19.3 million or 0.8% to $2.3 billion as compared with December 31, 2008. Total brokered deposits were $461.1 million or 20.3% of deposits at June 30, 2009, which was an increase of $55.5 million from the total brokered deposits of $405.6 million at December 31, 2008. Therefore, although overall deposits decreased $19.3 million during 2009, deposits generated internally by the Bank increased $3.4 million. Changes in the deposit categories include an increase of $27.9 million or 11.6% in noninterest bearing demand deposits, a decrease of $41.8 million or 6.1% in interest bearing demand deposits, and a decrease of $5.4 million or 4.6% in savings accounts from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Interest bearing demand deposits included $148.1 million of brokered money market funds at June 30, 2009, which was $97.2 million lower than the balance of brokered money market funds of $245.3 million outstanding at December 31, 2008. Therefore, core bank interest bearing demand deposits increased by $55.4 million over the last six months. Of this increase $33.4 million was related to an increase in our business sweep account, which is somewhat seasonal in our coastal regions. Additionally, core money market accounts increased $17.4 million since December 31, 2008. Our money market accounts have remained very competitive in our markets throughout 2009. Total time deposits under $100,000 increased $20.8 million from $858.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $879.6 million at June 30, 2009. Brokered CDs represented $313.0 million or 35.4% of the June 30, 2009 balance, which was an increase of $73.1 million over the $238.5 million of brokered CDs outstanding at December 31, 2008. Therefore, core bank CDs decreased $52.3 million over the last six months. This decrease was

Overview. During the first six months of 2009, we had a net loss available to common shareholders of $41.8 million, a decrease of $47.9 million from the net income available to common shareholders of $3.1 million for the first six months of 2008. Our net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $46.2 million as compared with net income available to common shareholders of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. There were three primary reasons for the loss in the second quarter of 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 which are as follows: (1) we added $33.7 million to our allowance for loan losses in the second quarter to ensure we have ample reserves to quickly resolve any problem credits as loan quality has deteriorated due to the slow economy and declining real estate values in some markets, (2) we incurred a goodwill impairment charge of $28.0 million in the second quarter related to the Shore acquisition, and (3) we were accessed a one time special FDIC insurance premium (as were all banks) which approximated $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2009.

Our interest earning assets consist primarily of loans, investment securities, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and overnight funds sold. Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $26.9 million and $56.0 million to $36.2 million and $73.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same time periods during 2008. This increase resulted from the $2.1 billion increase in average loans from the six months ended June 30, 2008 to the six months ended June 30, 2009 and was partially offset by a 117 basis point decrease experienced in the average interest yield. Interest income on loans decreased $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of a $15.3 million drop in average loan balances and the decrease in yield of 27 basis points that resulted from the increase in non-performing loans discussed above. Interest income on investment securities increased $1.1 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same time periods during 2008. It decreased $219 thousand over March. The $126.3 million increase in the average investment securities balance, of which $117.7 million was acquired with the Gateway acquisition, netted against a 36 basis point decrease in the average interest yield contributed to this increase. Interest income from investment securities decreased $219 thousand on a linked quarter basis as a result of a decrease in average balances of $13.0 million. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased $98

Interest expense from borrowings, which consists of FHLB borrowings, overnight funds purchased, and other borrowings, was $2.8 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. This represented a $2.0 million and $4.6 million increase from the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. This increase was the result of an increase in the average balances of borrowings of $368.0 million and $418.8 million for the three and six month periods of 2009 as compared with the same periods in 2008. Of the increase, $290 million was attributed to the acquisition of Gateway. The average rate on borrowings decreased from 4.76% and 4.59% for the three and six month periods in 2008 to 2.56% and 2.50% for the three and six month periods in 2009. This decrease in rates coincided directly with the reduction in interest rates by the FOMC on our short-term variable rate borrowings. Interest expense from borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $361 thousand on a linked quarter basis, as a result of a decrease of $77.3 million in average borrowings.
