     The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was designed by or under the supervision of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external and regulatory reporting purposes, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. Based on the assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. This 10K report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this 10K report.

     The forgoing shall not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. In addition, this information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Registrant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Part II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        The Company and the Bank are periodically involved in various legal proceedings as a normal incident to their businesses. In the opinion of management, no material loss is expected from any such pending lawsuit.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

        Other than as set forth below, there have been no changes in the risks associated with our securities from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We have substantial mortgage banking operations. If the current difficult environment for residential real estate and home mortgage financing continues, these operations may adversely effect our results of operations.

Through our mortgage banking subsidiary, we conduct substantial mortgage banking operations. The residential real estate market has slowed substantially in our trade area, reducing mortgage origination volume. In addition, the secondary market for residential mortgage loans has contracted, with pricing becoming less favorable for mortgage originators. If these trends continue, and we are not able to substantially reduce the expenses related to our mortgage banking operations, it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
