Highlight of Business Operations:

Management has continued to focus on providing additional liquidity sources, both on-balance sheet and off. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reduced our borrowings with the FHLB from $22 million to $17 million by increasing noninterest and interest bearing deposits by approximately $14.5 million. This has increased our availability at the FHLB, and is available to meet certain unforeseen liquidity demands that may arise. We currently have securities with a market value of $4.2 million pledged to the FHLB, and have unpledged securities held in safekeeping at the FHLB with a market value of $55.3 million that could be pledged if needed. The Bank also has unused Federal Funds purchased lines of approximately $5.7 million with two correspondent banks. In addition, management has plans to continue to build off-balance sheet sources of liquidity. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Bank intends to pledge commercial loans that qualify as loan collateral through the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
