Chairman's Comments

"The positive results of the first quarter of 2009 validate that our core business operations remain strong during this challenging time for the banking industry amidst the most difficult economic times since the 1930's. We continue to focus on that which we can control," said Thomas F. Prisby, Chairman and CEO. "Our net interest margin increased 27 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2008 primarily due to the decrease in deposit and borrowing costs as we benefit from continued low market interest rates. We continue to focus on working with our borrowers and have seen our non-performing loans stabilize during the first quarter with no significant changes to our current reserve requirements. We have reduced our dividend in light of the uncertainty over future economic conditions and industry-wide regulatory concerns over capital levels and to enhance and preserve our capital position and liquidity that are key components of our strategic plan. Our capital ratios remain strong and we continue to be 'well-capitalized' by all regulatory standards."

Mr. Prisby continued, "We continue to serve the communities in which we operate by offering our customers products to help them weather this economic environment. Our relationship managers are focused on deepening existing relationships and generating new relationships to grow our portfolio of loans and deposits with qualified, credit-worthy customers. We continue to implement our strategic plan of diversifying our loan portfolio by concentrating on commercial and industrial, owner-occupied commercial real estate and multifamily business banking opportunities."

Net Interest Income

The net interest margin increased 27 basis points to 3.61% for the first quarter of 2009 from 3.34% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and increased 40 basis points from 3.21% for the first quarter of 2008. Net interest income increased to $9.2 million compared to $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $8.6 million for the first quarter of 2008. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 was positively affected by lower interest rates on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed money due to lower market rates coupled with a decrease in the amortization of the premium on the early extinguishment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt.

Interest income decreased 4.3% to $13.2 million for the first quarter of 2009 compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 18.9% from $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2008. The decreases from the fourth and first quarters of 2008 were primarily related to decreases in the weighted-average yield earned on loans resulting from the repricing of our loan portfolio caused by multiple Federal Reserve rate reductions since the first quarter of 2008.

Interest expense decreased 20.7% to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 47.7% from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2008. Interest expense on deposits and short-term borrowings was positively affected by continued decreases in the level of market interest rates since the beginning of 2008 combined with decreases in the premium amortization from the first quarter of 2008.

The cost of borrowings decreased to 2.33% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to 3.27% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 5.25% for the first quarter of 2008. The cost of borrowings was a result of lower rates on the repricing of FHLB borrowings since the first quarter of 2008 and decreased premium amortization which is included in total interest expense on borrowings. The premium amortization adversely affected the net interest margin by three basis points, eight basis points and 20 basis points, respectively, for the first quarter of 2009, the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2008. The remaining premium amortization totaling $102,000 will be fully recognized as of December 31, 2009. Interest expense on borrowings is detailed in the table below for the periods indicated.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income increased 47.8% to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2009 from $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 16.8% from $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2008. The increases were primarily from the realization of $720,000 in gains on the sale of available-for-sale securities during the first quarter of 2009. Other income also increased during the first quarter of 2009 related to certain of the Company's viatical investments. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in service charges and other fees by 13.8% from the fourth quarter of 2008 and 9.7% from the first quarter of 2008 primarily due to decreases in the volume of non-sufficient funds transactions. In addition, income from bank-owned life insurance decreased $231,000 from the first quarter of 2008 due to the policy's lower interest crediting rate resulting from the reduction in general market interest rates.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 decreased to $9.4 million compared to $9.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 primarily due to the absence of the $1.2 million goodwill impairment recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in compensation and employee benefits expense of $702,000 due to increases in deferred compensation expense related to the Rabbi Trust plans, payroll related taxes and incentive compensation accruals. In addition, the Company's Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums increased $265,000 to $304,000 for the first quarter of 2009 from $39,000 during the fourth quarter of 2008 mainly as a result of an increase in industry-wide assessment rates effective January 1, 2009.

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 increased $1.4 million from $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily related to an increase of $492,000 in compensation and employee benefits expense related to the hiring of additional employees including experienced Business Banking Relationship Managers and managers in loan operations and retail branches during 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the Bank repaid the remaining balance of its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) loan incurring an expense of $235,000 which is an increase of $217,000 compared to the same period in 2008. FDIC insurance premiums during the first quarter of 2009 also increased as previously discussed by $264,000 compared to $40,000 for the first quarter of 2008. In addition, loan collection expense increased by $249,000 during the first quarter of 2009.

The Company's efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2009 was 77.8% compared to 91.3% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 72.5% for the first quarter of 2008. The Company's efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2009 was positively affected by gains on sales of available-for-sale securities and the absence of the fourth quarter 2008 impairments of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock and goodwill coupled with an increase in net interest income and non-interest income. The Company's core efficiency ratios were 82.1%, 76.9%, and 69.7%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2009, the fourth quarter of 2008, and the first quarter of 2008. The core efficiency ratio was negatively affected by increased non-interest expenses. The efficiency ratio and the core efficiency ratio calculations are presented in the last table of this press release.

Management has historically used an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and operating efficiency. The efficiency ratio is typically defined as the ratio of non-interest expense to the sum of non-interest income and net interest income. Many financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, adjust non-interest income (as calculated under GAAP) to exclude certain component elements, such as gains or losses on sales of securities and assets. Management follows this practice to calculate our core efficiency ratio and utilizes this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of the Company's performance. The core efficiency ratio is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio. The GAAP-based measure is calculated using non-interest expense, net interest income and non-interest income as presented on the consolidated statements of income.

The Company's core efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense less goodwill impairment divided by the sum of net interest income, excluding the deferred premium amortization related to the early extinguishment of debt, and non-interest income, adjusted for gains or losses on the sale of securities and other assets. Management believes that the core efficiency ratio enhances investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance. The measure is also believed to be useful in understanding the Company's performance trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management further believes the presentation of the core efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information, a clearer understanding of the Company's financial performance, and better reflects the Company's core operating activities.

The risks associated with utilizing operating measures (such as the efficiency ratio) are that various persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that other companies might calculate these measures differently. Management of the Company compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and its core efficiency ratio within the last table of this press release; however, these disclosures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP.

Asset Quality

The provision for losses on loans for the first quarter of 2009 decreased to $624,000 from $16.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $742,000 for the first quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $710,000 compared to $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008 and $420,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The allowance for losses on loans was relatively stable at $15.5 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $15.6 million at December 31, 2008. The Company's non-performing loans were also relatively stable at $55.3 million compared to $54.7 million at December 31, 2008.

The ratio of allowance for losses on loans to total loans was relatively stable at 2.05% at March 31, 2009 compared to 2.07% at December 31, 2008. The ratio of allowance for losses on loans to total non-performing loans was 27.96% and 28.44%, respectively at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. When management evaluates a non-performing collateral dependent loan and identifies a collateral shortfall, management will charge-off the collateral shortfall. As a result, the Company is not required to maintain an allowance for losses on loans 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.) The above ratios have been negatively affected by partial charge-offs of $14.9 million on $25.3 million of collateral dependent non-performing loans through March 31, 2009 and impairment reserves totaling $6.0 million on other non-performing loans at March 31, 2009.

The Company maintains the allowance for losses on loans at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans represents management's estimate of inherent losses existing in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each balance sheet date and is based on its review of available and relevant information. Management believes that at March 31, 2009 the allowance for losses on loans was adequate based on its review of historical loss experience, levels of delinquencies, economic conditions and the review of relevant and available information for specific loans.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2009, the Company's total assets were $1.11 billion compared to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2008.

The Company's loans receivable increased to $756.1 million at March 31, 2009 from $750.0 million at December 31, 2008 primarily due to a $10.8 million, or 2.2%, increase in commercial loans partially offset by a $4.3 million, or 1.6%, decrease in retail loans.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $222.1 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $251.3 million at December 31, 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company sold $9.2 million of government-sponsored entity securities with a weighted average term to maturity of 2.3 years resulting in a gain on sale of $720,000. In addition, the Company received $20.9 million of maturities and paydowns on available-for-sale securities which were utilized to de-leverage the balance sheet by repaying short-term borrowings and maturing FHLB borrowings.

Deposits increased to $863.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $824.1 million at December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily a result of a $44.9 million increase in core deposit accounts primarily due to an increase of $38.6 million in municipal core deposit accounts. The Company's deposits consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2009 decreased $1.0 million to $110.8 million from $111.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease during the first quarter was primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.9 million. Partially offsetting this decrease, the Company realized net income of $1.5 million and a decrease in its unallocated common stock held by the ESOP. The change in the unallocated amount was due to the release of all remaining unallocated shares upon the repayment of the ESOP loan in full during the first quarter of 2009.

The regulatory capital ratios of the Bank improved during the first quarter of 2009 as a result of the Company's net income and decrease in unallocated common stock held by the ESOP. The ratios continue to exceed all regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2009, the Bank remained "well-capitalized" under the Office of Thrift Supervision's regulatory capital guidelines with a total capital to risk-weighted assets equal to 13.34%, an increase from 13.21% at December 31, 2008. The Company's tangible common equity was $110.8 million, or 9.96% of tangible assets at March 31, 2009.
