Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

General

Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in Lee County, Alabama and surrounding counties through its subsidiary, AuburnBank (the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking that are considered material.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods or the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported net earnings or total stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 2: BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Diluted net earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s potential common stock was issued. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had no options issued or outstanding.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the diluted earnings per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, is presented below.

On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an assessment to determine whether there have been events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the write-down recorded as a realized loss in securities gains (losses).

Gross unrealized losses on securities at March 31, 2008 were primarily attributable to interest rate changes. The Company has reviewed these securities and does not consider them other-than-temporarily impaired.

Gross gains realized on the sale of securities available-for-sale for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $43 thousand. Gross losses realized on the sale of securities available-for-sale for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $602 thousand.

The fair value and amortized cost for securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2007, by contractual maturity are presented below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits related to federal or state income tax matters.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2004 through 2007. The Company is currently open to audit by the state of Alabama for the years ended December 31, 2003, through 2007, although certain matters have been closed.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The Company’s assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with SFAS No. 157. At March 31, 2008 the Company had no liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, at March 31, 2008 the Company had no assets where the fair value measurement required the use of significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 inputs.

The fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2008 for the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented on the following page.

Financial Summary

The Company’s first quarter 2008 net earnings were $1.9 million, an increase of 10% from the same period of 2007, and basic and diluted earnings per share were up 11% to $0.50.

In the first quarter of 2008, total revenue (on a tax-equivalent basis) was approximately $6.0 million, an increase of 11% from the first quarter of 2007. Net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) was approximately $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 15% from the first quarter of 2007, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio.

Credit quality continues to be strong, with an annualized net charge-offs ratio of 0.11%. Nonperforming assets increased to 1.53% of total loans at March 31, 2008, however, the increase was primarily due to one loan participation in the amount of $4.5 million that was placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter of 2008. Excluding the effects of this loan participation, nonperforming assets were only 0.18% of total loans. Management is closely monitoring this loan participation, which is secured by a completed Gulf Coast condominium project. Management currently believes the level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio, including this loan participation. The provision for loan losses increased $57 thousand in the

first quarter of 2008 compared with the first quarter of 2007. This increase is primarily due to net charge-offs of $91 thousand in the first quarter of 2008, compared to a net recovery of $76 thousand in the first quarter of 2007.

Average loans and loans held for sale increased 16.9% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007 to $332.7 million. Average total securities increased 6.8% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007 to $318.3 million. Average total deposits increased 7.3% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007 to $511.4 million.

Noninterest expense increased 8% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007, largely reflecting increases in salaries and benefits expense and other noninterest expense.

In the first quarter of 2008, the Company paid cash dividends of $681 thousand, or $ 0.185 per share, and our dividend payout ratio was 37.00%. The Company’s balance sheet remains strong and well capitalized under regulatory guidelines with a tier 1 capital ratio of 14.64% and a leverage ratio of 8.82% at March 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and financial policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The allowance for loan losses is an accounting policy applied by the Company which is deemed critical. Critical accounting policies are defined as policies which are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. These estimates and judgments involve significant uncertainties, and are susceptible to change. If different conditions exist or occur- depending upon the magnitude of the changes; then our actual financial condition and financial results could differ significantly. For a more detailed discussion on these critical accounting policies, see “CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES” on pages 25–26 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Margin

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased 15% in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio. Net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 2.99%.

The tax-equivalent yield on total interest earning assets decreased 25 basis points in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007, to 6.32%. This decrease was driven by an 84 basis point decrease in the yield on loans and loans held for sale to 7.28% offset by a 20 basis point increase in the tax-equivalent yield on total securities to 5.35%.

The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 42 basis points in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007, to 3.81%. This decrease was driven by a 40 basis point decrease in the cost of total interest-bearing deposits to 3.71%, a 227 basis point decrease in the cost of short-term borrowings to 2.85% and a 32 basis point increase in the cost of long-term debt to 4.32%. The average federal funds rate during the first quarter of 2008 was 208 basis points lower than the average for the same period in 2007.

thousand in other noninterest expense. The increase in salaries and benefits expense is primarily due to the hiring of new personnel and normal increases in salaries and benefits costs. The increase in other noninterest expense is a result of various factors, including increases in assessments charged under the new FDIC deposit assessment rules.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $75 thousand in the first quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 25.51%, compared to 24.99% for the first quarter of 2007. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in the earnings before taxes.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Securities

Securities available-for-sale were $322.8 million and $318.4 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Unrealized net gains on securities available-for-sale were $2.8 million at March 31, 2008 compared to unrealized net losses of $0.7 million at December 31, 2007. Increases in the fair value of securities available-for-sale from December 31, 2007 were primarily driven by decreases in interest rates.

The average yield earned on total securities was 5.35% in the first quarter of 2008 and 5.15% in the first quarter of 2007. The increase in the average yield is due to an increase in the average balance of tax-exempt municipal bonds. These bonds typically have longer maturities and offer above-market yields.

As noted in our critical accounting policies, management assesses the adequacy of the allowance prior to the end of each calendar quarter. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the loan portfolios, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan quality indicators and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.23% at March 31, 2008, compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2007. In the future, the allowance to total loans outstanding ratio will increase or decrease to the extent the factors that influence our quarterly allowance assessment in their entirety are believed to be weakening or improving, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, should be adequate to provide coverage for the probable losses on outstanding loans. The provision for loan losses amounted to $60 thousand and $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Based upon its evaluation of the loan portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable losses existing in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2008. Increased charge-offs in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the first quarter of 2007 were the primary reasons for the increased provision expense.

Based upon its assessment of the loan portfolio, management adjusts the allowance for loan losses to an amount deemed appropriate to adequately cover probable losses in the loan portfolio. While our policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resultant provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered adequate by management and are reviewed from time to time by

regulators, they are necessarily approximate. There exist factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions both locally and nationally, which may negatively impact, materially, the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and, thus, the resulting provision for loan losses.

Nonperforming Assets

The specific economic and credit risks associated with our loan portfolio include, but are not limited to, a general downturn in the economy which could affect employment rates in our market areas, general real estate market deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, deteriorated or non-existent collateral, title defects, inaccurate appraisals, financial deterioration of borrowers, fraud, and violations of laws and regulations.

The Company discontinues the accrual of interest income when (1) there is a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest is not expected or (2) the principal or interest is more than 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $4.6 million in loans on nonaccrual compared to $447 thousand at December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to one purchased loan participation in the amount of $4.5 million that was placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter of 2008.

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, the Company owned $421 thousand and $98 thousand in other real estate which we had acquired through foreclosure and otherwise from borrowers.

At March 31, 2008, the Company had no loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest compared to $4 thousand at December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007, no loans were deemed to be restructured loans.

The table below provides information concerning nonperforming assets and certain asset quality ratios.

Potential problem assets, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to $4.7 million, or 1.4% of total loans outstanding, net of unearned income at March 31, 2008, compared to $9.2 million, or 2.8% of total loans outstanding, net of unearned income at December 31, 2007. The decrease in potential problem assets is due to the $4.5 million loan participation previously mentioned being placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter of 2008. Potential problem assets represent those assets with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms.

Deposits

Total deposits were $537.4 million and $492.6 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase of $44.8 million in total deposits from December 31, 2007 was largely due to increases in NOW accounts and CDs over $100,000, offset by decreases in money market accounts. NOW accounts increased $25.4, million or 47%, from

Table of Contents

December 31, 2007. CDs over $100,000 increased $29.6 million or 21% from December 31, 2007. These increases were primarily driven by increases in large commercial and public customer accounts. Money market accounts decreased $17.7 million or 15% from December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily driven by customer preferences as decreases in market rates have lowered yields on these accounts.

The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits was 3.71% in the first quarter of 2008 and 4.11% in the first quarter of 2007.

Noninterest bearing deposits were 14% of total deposits as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Other Borrowings

Other borrowings consists of short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other short-term borrowings. The Bank had available federal fund lines totaling $44.0 million with none outstanding at March 31, 2008, compared to $44.0 million and $8.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2007. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $7.5 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $15.5 million at December 31, 2007.

The average rate paid on short-term borrowings was 2.85% in the first quarter of 2008 and 5.12% in the first quarter of 2007.

Long-term debt included FHLB borrowings with an original maturity greater than one year, structured securities sold under agreements to repurchase and junior subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank had $91.2 million and $83.2 million in long-term FHLB borrowings, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the bank had $25.0 million in structured securities sold under agreements to repurchase, respectively. Structured securities sold under agreements to repurchase are term repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than one year. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $7.2 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding, respectively.

The average rate paid on long-term debt was 4.32% in the first quarter of 2008 and 4.64% in the first quarter of 2007.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity was $56.3 million and $53.0 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The increase from December 31, 2007 is primarily due to net earnings of $1.9 million and other comprehensive income due to the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale of $2.1 million. These increases were partially offset by cash dividends paid of $681 thousand, or $0.185 per share.

The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.82%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.64% and Total risk-based capital ratio was 15.60% at March 31, 2008. These ratios exceed the minimum regulatory capital percentages of 4.0% for Tier 1 leverage ratio, 4.0% for Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and 8.0% for Total risk-based capital ratio. Based on current regulatory standards, the Company is classified as “well capitalized.”

MARKET AND LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Management’s objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. The Bank’s Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) is charged with the responsibility of monitoring these policies, which are designed to ensure acceptable composition of asset/liability mix. Two critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates interest rate risk so that the Bank can meet customer demands for various types of loans and deposits. Measurements used to help manage interest rate sensitivity include an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity model.

Management believes that interest rate risk is best estimated by our earnings simulation modeling. Forecasted levels of earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with ALCO forecasts of market interest rates for the next 12 months and are combined with other factors in order to produce various earnings simulations and estimates. To limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for earnings at risk which seek to limit the variance of net interest income to less than a 10 percent decline for a 200 basis point change up or down in rates from management’s flat interest rate forecast over the next twelve months. The results of our current simulation model would indicate that we are in compliance with our current guidelines at March 31, 2008.

Economic value of equity measures the extent that estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are estimated by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case economic value of equity. To help limit interest rate risk, we have a guideline stating that for a 200 basis point instantaneous change in interest rates up or down, the economic value of equity should not decrease by more than 25 percent. The results of our current economic value of equity model would indicate that we are in compliance with our current guidelines at March 31, 2008.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates, and other economic and market factors. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as “interest rate caps and floors”) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates or economic stress, which may differ across industries and economic sectors. ALCO reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios in seeking satisfactory, consistent levels of profitability within the framework of the Company’s established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.

The Company may also use derivative financial instruments to improve the balance between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities and as one tool to manage interest rate sensitivity while continuing to meet the credit and deposit needs of our customers. Beginning in 2006, the Company entered into interest rate swaps (“swaps”) to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no derivative contracts to assist in managing interest rate sensitivity.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity is the Company’s ability to convert assets into cash equivalents in order to meet daily cash flow requirements, primarily for deposit withdrawals, loan demand and maturing obligations. The Company could experience higher costs of obtaining funds due to insufficient liquidity, while excessive liquidity can lead to a decline in earnings due to the cost of foregoing alternative higher-yielding investment opportunities.

Table of Contents

Liquidity is managed at two levels. The first is the liquidity of the Company. The second is the liquidity of the Bank. The management of liquidity at both levels is essential, because the Company and the Bank have different funding needs and sources, and each are subject to regulatory guidelines and requirements.

The primary source of funding for the Company includes dividends received from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Primary uses of funds for the Company include dividends paid to shareholders, stock repurchases, and interest payments on junior subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities. The junior subordinated debentures are presented as long-term debt in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and the related trust preferred securities are includible in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to certain limitations.

Primary sources of funding for the Bank include customer deposits, other borrowings, repayment and maturity of securities, sales of securities, and sale and repayment of loans. The Bank has access to federal funds lines from various banks and borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window. In addition to these sources, the Bank has participated in the FHLB’s advance program to obtain funding for its growth. Advances include both fixed and variable terms and are taken out with varying maturities. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank had an available line of credit with the FHLB totaling $217.4 million with $91.2 million outstanding. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank also had $44.0 million of federal funds lines with none outstanding. Primary uses of funds include repayment of maturing obligations and growing the loan portfolio.

Management believes that the Company and the Bank have adequate sources of liquidity to meet all known contractual obligations and unfunded commitments, including loan commitments and reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor requirements over the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2008, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit of $10.6 million and unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $57.1 million. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Bank has the ability to liquidate federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale, or draw on its available credit facilities.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

Virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Company’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services because such prices are affected by inflation. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of desired performance levels.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not the entry price, i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement; not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The effective date for SFAS No. 157 is for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within

those fiscal years. Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. See accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for fair value disclosures required by SFAS No. 157.

In February of 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. This statement is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statement as the Company has not elected to apply the fair value option to any of its financial assets or financial liabilities.

In November 2007, the SEC issued SAB 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings.” SAB 109 rescinds SAB 105’s prohibition on inclusion of expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. SAB 109 also applies to any loan commitments for which fair value accounting is elected under SFAS 159. SAB 109 is effective prospectively for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. Adoption of SAB 109 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB 110, “Share-Based Payment.” SAB 110 allows eligible public companies to continue to use a simplified method for estimating the expense of stock options if their own historical experience isn’t sufficient to provide a reasonable basis. Under SAB 107, “Share-Based Payment,” the simplified method was scheduled to expire for all grants made after December 31, 2007. The SAB describes disclosures that should be provided if a company is using the simplified method for all or a portion of its stock option grants beyond December 31, 2007. The provisions of this bulletin are effective on January 1, 2008. Since the Company had no stock options outstanding in 2007 or through March 31, 2008, adoption of SAB 110 has had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R clarifies the definitions of both a business combination and a business. All business combinations will be accounted for under the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method). This standard defines the acquisition date as the only relevant date for recognition and measurement of the fair value of consideration paid. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to expense all acquisition related costs. SFAS 141R will also require acquired loans to be recorded net of the allowance for loan losses on the date of acquisition. SFAS 141R defines the measurement period as the time after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may make adjustments to the “provisional” amounts recognized at the acquisition date. This period cannot exceed one year, and any subsequent adjustments made to provisional amounts are done retrospectively and restate prior period data. The provisions of this statement are effective for business combinations during fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact that SFAS 141R will have on its financial position and results of operations and believes that such determination will not be meaningful unless and until the Company enters into a business combination.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in consolidated financial statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling interests to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of equity. Disclosure requirements include net income and comprehensive income to be displayed for both the controlling and noncontrolling interests and a separate schedule that shows the effects of any transactions with the noncontrolling interests on the equity attributable to the controlling interest. The provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Management is currently evaluating this Statement and its effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Table of Contents

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 161, which amends FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under Statement 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of the derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the company’s strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. The Statement expands the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating this Statement and its effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Table 1 – Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain designated net interest income amounts presented on a tax-equivalent basis, a non-GAAP financial measure, including the presentation of total revenue and the calculation of the efficiency ratio.

The Company believes the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis provides comparability of net interest income from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and facilitates comparability within the industry. Although the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure enhances investors’ understanding of its business and performance, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP is presented below.
