Chairman's Comments

"Overall, our second quarter was another solid quarter with a number of positive trends," said Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman and CEO. "This was our seventh straight quarter of positive earnings, our net interest margin grew, our loan portfolio grew, and non-performing loans and non-performing assets decreased. In addition, we sold $3.4 million of other real estate owned for a pre-tax gain of $2.2 million which contributed to the reduction in non-performing assets of $4.8 million since March 31, 2011."

"Also, during the second quarter, we experienced stronger loan demand," continued Prisby. "Total loans receivable increased during the quarter at an annualized rate of 7.3% as our business and retail banking teams continue to develop relationships and focus on lending to qualified clients. We have a healthy loan pipeline which we believe portends well for loan growth throughout the remainder of 2011."

Progress on Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan

The Company continues to focus its efforts on reducing the level of non-performing loans, seeking to either restructure specific non-performing credits or foreclose, obtain title, and transfer the loan to other real estate owned where we can take control of and liquidate the underlying collateral. The Company's ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 7.76% at June 30, 2011 from 8.24% at March 31, 2011 primarily due to transfers to other real estate owned totaling $2.9 million, repayments totaling $1.2 million, and charge-offs on non-accrual loans totaling $1.1 million. This positive activity was partially offset by 16 loan relationships totaling $3.5 million being transferred to non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2011. The largest of these transfers is an owner occupied commercial real estate loan totaling $1.7 million with the majority of the rest being one-to-four family mortgage loans or home equity lines of credit.

During the second quarter, the Bank sold $3.4 million of other real estate owned properties and recognized pre-tax net gains on the sales of $2.2 million, the majority of which represents a recovery of a previously recorded charge-off. The Bank currently has contracts on three separate other real estate owned properties which will reduce non-performing assets by an additional $6.9 million during the third quarter of 2011 with no anticipated loss on sale, presuming the transactions close as scheduled and pursuant to the contractual terms.

The Company also remains strongly focused on its cost structure even though non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased to $11.1 million from $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 and from $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily the result of a $1.8 million increase in the valuation allowances of two other real estate owned properties. Excluding the valuation allowances, non-interest expense for the second quarter was $9.3 million which represented decreases of $660,000 and $289,000, respectively, from the first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010.

The Company continues to increase targeted growth segments in its loan portfolio, including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate - owner occupied, and multifamily, which in the aggregate comprised 53.1% of the commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2011, up from 51.1% at March 31, 2011. The Company's focus on deepening relationships continues to emphasize core deposit growth. While total core deposit balances decreased 1.0% from March 31, 2011, total core deposits as a percentage of total deposits increased to 59.2% at June 30, 2011 from 58.8% at March 31, 2011.

Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Earnings from Core Operations (1)

The Company's pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations totaled $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 and $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2010. The pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by higher net interest income, increased service charges and other fees, and increased card-based fees coupled with a decrease in compensation and employee benefits expense, net occupancy expense, and FDIC insurance premiums and OTS assessments.

The Company's net interest margin increased four basis points to 3.59% for the second quarter of 2011 from 3.55% for the first quarter of 2011 and decreased 20 basis points from 3.79% for the second quarter of 2010. Net interest income increased to $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $8.9 million for the first quarter of 2011 and decreased slightly compared to $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. The net interest margin continued to be negatively impacted by the Bank's higher levels of liquidity due to strong deposit growth and modest loan demand. The yield on investment securities declined due to reinvesting maturing investment securities in lower yielding investments as market interest rates remained low. In addition, the higher level of the Bank's non-performing assets continues to negatively affect the yield on loans receivable. The Bank's net interest margin was positively affected by a seven basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the first quarter of 2011 and a 29 basis point decrease compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Interest income increased 1.9% to $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 and decreased 5.8% from $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2010. The fluctuations are primarily related to the size of the Bank's loan portfolio, which increased 1.8% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011 and decreased 2.5% compared to the second quarter of 2010. The Bank's levels of non-performing assets during the second quarter of 2011 also continue to negatively impact interest income. In addition, the Bank continues to hold higher levels of short-term liquid investments due to the lack of suitable higher yielding investment alternatives in the current low interest rate environment.

Interest expense decreased 5.7% to $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 and 21.3% from $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2010. The Company's continued disciplined pricing on new deposits, repricing of renewals of existing certificates of deposit at lower interest rates, and a 58.2% reduction in the average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances contributed to the decrease in interest expense during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income increased $2.1 million, or 85.1%, to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 from the first quarter of 2011. Non-interest income increased $2.3 million, or 102.3%, from $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2010. These increases were due to $2.2 million of gains on the sales of other real estate owned during the second quarter of 2011. Excluding this gain, non-interest income would have been $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 with $346,000 of lower gains on sale of investment securities, partially offset by increases in service charges and other fees and card-based fees as clients have utilized their ATM/debit cards more during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased 11.1% and 15.4%, respectively, to $11.1 million compared to $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 and $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2010. These increases were primarily due to the establishment of valuation allowances of two other real estate owned properties totaling $1.8 million during the second quarter of 2011. Excluding these valuation allowances, non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 would have been $9.3 million representing decreases of 6.6% and 3.0%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. The decrease for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011 is primarily related to decreases in compensation and employee benefits, net occupancy expense, FDIC insurance premiums and OTS assessments, and professional fees. The decrease compared to the second quarter of 2010 is primarily due to large decreases in professional fees related to the proxy contest in 2010, lack of severance and early retirement expense in 2011, and lower FDIC insurance premiums due to the new premium assessment methodology. These decreases were partially offset by increased compensation and benefits expense due to normal salary adjustments and significantly higher medical claims incurred.

Income Tax Expense

During the current quarter, the Company's income tax expense totaled $425,000, equal to an effective tax rate of 25.6%, compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 7.8% and an effective tax rate of 15.4%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2011 was due to the increased level of income before income taxes as a result of the gain on sale of the other real estate owned property coupled with the impact of BOLI and tax credits.

Total non-performing loans decreased 4.1% to $57.2 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $59.7 million at March 31, 2011. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 7.76% during the quarter compared to 8.24% at March 31, 2011. The decrease in non-performing loans was primarily due to five loan relationships totaling $2.9 million being transferred to other real estate owned during the second quarter of 2011 coupled with repayments totaling $1.2 million and charge-offs on non-accrual loans totaling $1.1 million. Partially offsetting these decreases, during the second quarter of 2011, the Bank transferred 16 loan relationships totaling $3.5 million to non-accrual status.

Net charge-offs during the current quarter totaled $1.1 million and included $605,000 related to a commercial construction and land development participation loan, $153,000 related to two commercial and industrial loan relationships, $124,000 related to an owner occupied commercial real estate loan, and $168,000 related to six separate one-to-four family mortgage loans.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was reduced slightly to 2.31% at June 30, 2011 compared to 2.36% at March 31, 2011 and 2.33% at June 30, 2010. When management determines a non-performing collateral dependent loan has a collateral shortfall, management will immediately charge off the collateral shortfall. As a result, the Company is not required to maintain an allowance for loan losses on these loans as the loan balance has already been written down to its net realizable value (fair value less estimated costs to sell the collateral). As such, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans have been affected by cumulative partial charge-offs of $7.3 million recorded through June 30, 2011 on $8.5 million, net of charge-offs, of collateral dependent non-performing loans and specific impairment reserves totaling $8.0 million on other non-collateral dependent non-performing loans at June 30, 2011.

Loan fundings during the three months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $38.4 million compared to loan fundings of $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 which reflects increased loan demand levels during the current year period. The Company's business banking pipeline is improving and management is anticipating additional loan growth as well as additional line usage on the Company's business banking revolving facilities (lines of credit) throughout the remainder of 2011. Loan fundings during the second quarter of 2011 were partially offset by loan payoffs and repayments of $19.9 million, transfers to other real estate owned totaling $2.9 million, and gross charge-offs of $1.1 million.

Through the execution of our Strategic Growth and Diversification Plan, we continue to diversify our loan portfolio and reduce loans not meeting our current defined risk tolerance. The Company has increased its targeted growth segments of the loan portfolio, including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate - owner occupied, and multifamily commercial real estate, to comprise 53.1% of the commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2011. Participations purchased decreased 5.5% compared to March 31, 2011 and 54.7% compared to June 30, 2010.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Bank sold $1.2 million of conforming one-to-four family mortgage loans and recorded a gain on sale of $26,000.

The Bank strives to grow deposits through many channels including enhancing its brand recognition within its communities, offering attractive deposit products, bringing in new client relationships by meeting all of their banking needs, and holding its experienced sales team accountable for growing deposits and relationships. Since June 30, 2010, the Bank has increased its core deposits by $76.6 million, or 15.5%, and core deposits at June 30, 2011 represent 59.2% of total deposits compared to 54.9% at June 30, 2010. Increasing core deposits is reflective of our success in deepening our client relationships, one of our core Strategic Plan objectives. During the second quarter of 2011, total deposits decreased by $16.0 million, or 1.6%, primarily due to a reduction of $10.1 million in certificates of deposit as management continues to be disciplined about pricing these deposits.

Borrowed funds decreased during the second quarter of 2011 due to decreased borrowings from repurchase agreements which will fluctuate depending on the client's deposit balances. The Bank continues to strengthen its balance sheet funding position and enhance its liquidity position through a stronger focus on deposit gathering and repaying maturing FHLB advances.

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general practice within the banking industry. Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance and has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations to average assets. In these non-GAAP financial measures, the provision for loan losses, other real estate owned related expense, loan collection expense, and certain other items, such as gains and losses on sales of investment securities and other assets, severance and early retirement expense, and FDIC special insurance premium assessment are excluded from the determination of core operating results. Management believes that these measures are useful because they provide a more comparable basis for evaluating financial performance from core operations period to period and allows us and others to assess the Company's ability to generate earnings to cover credit costs. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to enhance investors understanding of the Company's business performance, these operating measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.
