NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Empire State Bank (the “Bank”) was organized under federal law in 2004 as a national bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The Bank’s deposits are insured up to legal limits by the FDIC. In March 2009, the Bank converted its charter to a New York State commercial bank charter, with the New York Banking Department becoming its primary state regulator.

On April 28, 2004, the Bank sold 1,650,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $16,500,000 (the “Offering”). In addition, for every five (5) shares of common stock purchased by a subscriber in the offering, such subscriber received a warrant to purchase, within a three-year period, one (1) share of common stock at an exercise price of $12.50 per share.

The Bank reorganized into a one-bank holding company structure (the “Reorganization”). In connection with the Reorganization, the Bank formed ES Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) on August 15, 2006, a Maryland corporation, to serve as its holding company.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated.

The Bank is a full service commercial bank that offers a variety of financial services to meet the needs of communities in its market area. The Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits to originate commercial loans, revolving lines of credit, commercial real estate, mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family residences, home equity lines, and to a lesser extent construction, land, and consumer installment loans. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed and other securities permissible for a New York State chartered commercial bank. The Bank also operated two loan production offices, one in Staten Island, New York, and another in Lynbrook, New York. However, in November of 2007, the Staten Island loan production office was closed in conjunction with the opening of the Bank’s new full service branch in that borough. During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank closed its loan production office in Lynbrook, Nassau County, New York. The Bank’s primary area for deposits includes the Town of Newburgh and the Village of New Paltz, in addition to the communities surrounding those offices, and the borough of Staten Island. The Bank’s primary market area for its lending activities consists of the communities within Orange County, Ulster County, the five boroughs of New York City, and portions of Dutchess, Rockland, Putnam and Westchester Counties, New York.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, subsequent to the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions, and have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year ending December 31, 2010. The unaudited interim financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Stock Options

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan as more fully described in Note 4. For accounting purposes, the Company recognizes expense for shares of common stock awarded under the Company’s Stock Option Plan over the vesting period at the fair market value of the shares on the date they are awarded. Total expense incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, relating to the options was $0 and $4 thousand, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock warrants and options) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period plus common-equivalent shares computed using the treasury stock method. None of the warrants or stock options were considered in computing diluted earnings (loss) per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using tax rates. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The tax benefit on net operating losses, included in deferred tax assets, was approximately $2.4 million at March 31, 2010. The net operating losses are being carried forward and will be available to reduce future taxable income. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Because the Bank has limited operating experience, management recorded a valuation allowance against the total amount of deferred tax assets.

Securities

The Company is required to report readily-marketable equity and debt securities in one of the following categories: (i) “held-to-maturity” (management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity), which are reported at amortized cost; (ii) “trading” (held for current resale), which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gain and losses included in earnings; and (iii) “available for sale” (all other debt and marketable equity securities), which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported net of taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Premiums and discounts on investments in debt and equity securities are amortized to expense or accreted to income over the estimated life of the respective securities using methods approximating the effective interest method. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are recognized upon realization based on the specific identification method.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. All sales are made with servicing released and without recourse. Gains and losses on the disposition of loans held for sale are determined on the specific identification basis. Net unrealized losses on loans held for sale are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. There were no valuation allowances as of March 31, 2010.

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees and costs on originated loans and any unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs will be deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using methods that approximate the interest method over the contractual life of the loan. Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to income. Losses are charged to the allowance when all or a portion of a loan is deemed to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses when realized. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate based upon management’s periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions, considering factors such as the Company’s past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. Establishing the allowance for loan losses involves significant management judgment, utilizing the best available information at the time of review. Those judgments are subject to further review by various sources, including the Bank’s regulators, who may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. While management estimates loan losses using the best available information, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions, further information obtained regarding known problem loans, the identification of additional problem loans, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that in management’s judgment should be charged off.

Subsequent Events

Events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2010 have been evaluated as to their potential impact to the financial statements through the date of filing.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended existing guidance to improve disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. New disclosures are required for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2010 was not material as it required only disclosures which are included in the Fair Value footnote.

In June 2009, the FASB amended existing guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This amended guidance addresses (1) practices that are not consistent with the intent and key requirements of the original guidance and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2010 was not material.

In June 2009, the FASB amended guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities by replacing the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The new approach focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities are also required. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2010 was not material.

In December 2007, the FASB enhanced existing guidance for the use of the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the purchase method) for all business combinations, for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination and for intangible assets to be identified and recognized separately from goodwill. An entity in a business combination is required to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. Additionally, there were changes in requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies and recognizing and measuring contingent consideration. Disclosure requirements for business combinations were also enhanced. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2009 was not material

In April 2009, the FASB issued amended clarifying guidance to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2009 was not material. In January 2010, the FASB issued amended clarifying guidance addressing implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions. The impact of adoption on January 1, 2010 was not material.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Guidance

In January 2010, the FASB amended existing guidance related to fair value measurements requiring new disclosures for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption is expected to be immaterial.

The Bank evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Bank may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

At March 31, 2010, five debt securities had unrealized losses of approximately $43 thousand, and three others had unrealized losses of approximately $92 thousand, that have existed for less than twelve months, and more than twelve months, respectively, from the Bank’s cost basis, and are largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or reset date.

There were no sales of securities during either of the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Stock Options

On October 19, 2004, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company’s Stock Option Plan which allows for a total of 180,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan, although option exercises may also be funded using treasury shares or shares acquired in open market purchases. These options have a 10-year term and may be either non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options. These options were not deemed granted until shareholder approval occurred on May 3, 2005. The options vest at a rate of 20% on each of five annual vesting dates except for 65,000 options granted to Directors, which vested immediately. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.

The Company accounts for stock options using the modified prospective transition method. For accounting purposes, the Company recognizes expense for shares of common stock awarded under the Company’s Stock Option Plan over the vesting period at the fair market value of the shares on the date they are awarded.

A summary of options outstanding under the Company’s Stock Option Plan as of March 31, 2010, and changes during the period then ended is presented below.

As of March 31, 2010, there was $13 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 57 months.

At March 31, 2010, there were 12,750 shares available for future grant under the Stock Option Plan.

401(k) Plan

A 401(k) benefit plan allows employees to contribute up to 15% of their compensation. The Bank did not make any matching contributions in 2010 or 2009.

Note 5. Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

	Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are summarized below:

Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial real estate properties classified as real estate owned (REO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $149 thousand, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $649 thousand, net of a valuation allowance of $500 thousand at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. A write-down of $500 thousand was recorded during the year ending December 31, 2009.

Total non-accrual loans were $3.1 million at both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Other borrowings		2,715		2,722		1,615		1,633
Accrued interest payable		106		106		151		151

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB or FRB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company has not been a party to any legal proceedings that may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. However, in the normal course of its business, the Company may become involved as plaintiff or defendant in proceedings such as judicial mortgage foreclosures and proceedings to collect on loan obligations and to enforce contractual obligations.

Operating Lease Commitments

The Company is obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for its main office location in Newburgh, New York, and its branch office locations in New Paltz, New York, and Staten Island, New York. The leases are for initial terms of 10 years, 15 years, and 10 years, respectively and have various renewal options. Rent expense under operating leases was $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the future minimum rental payments under operating lease agreements for the fiscal years ending December 31 are $205,000 in 2010; $276,000 in 2011; $262,000 in 2012; $183,000 in 2013; $187,000 in 2014; and a total of $640,000 thereafter.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments at March 31, 2010 were limited to loan origination commitments of $2.2 million (including one-to-four family loans held for sale of $200 thousand) and unused lines of credit (principally commercial and home equity lines) extended to customers of $11.3 million. Substantially all of these commitments and lines of credit have been provided to customers within the Bank’s primary lending area. Loan origination commitments at March 31, 2010, consisted of adjustable and fixed rate commitments of $2.0 million and $230 thousand respectively, with interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 6.50%.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Total assets at March 31, 2010, amounted to $163.5 million, representing an increase of $6.5 million, or 4.2%, from $157.0 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in assets consisted of a $2.4 million increase in total securities, a $659 thousand increase in real estate loans for sale, and a $5.1 million increase in total loans receivable, net, that were partially offset by a $480 thousand decrease in certificates of deposit at other financial institutions, and a $1.1 million decrease in total cash and cash equivalents. These increases reflect our efforts to increase the proportion of our assets carrying a higher yield than liquid assets.

Overall, loans receivable, net, increased $5.1 million, or 4.8%, to $110.7 million at March 31, 2010, from $105.7 million at December 31, 2009. Residential real estate mortgage loans, excluding mortgage loans held for sale, increased $1.8 million, or 6.7%, from $26.8 million to $28.6 million. Commercial and multifamily real estate loans decreased $500 thousand, or 1.0%, from $51.5 million to $51.0 million. Commercial loans and commercial lines of credit increased $3.9 million, or 19.4%, from $20.1 million to $24.0 million, and home equity and consumer loans decreased $16 thousand or 0.19%, from $8.5 million to $8.4 million, over the same three-month period. Management continues to emphasize the origination of high quality loans to the loan portfolio.

Total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2010, decreased $1.2 million, or 8.1%, to $13.6 million from $14.8 million at December 31, 2009, while certificates of deposit at other financial institutions decreased $480 thousand, or 13.0%, to $3.2 million from $3.7 million during the same period. Total securities at March 31, 2010, increased $2.4 million, or 8.3%, to $31.2 million from $28.8million at December 31, 2009.

Interest bearing deposits increased $5.3 million or 4.3% from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. The net deposit activity over the period consisted largely of a $1.6 million increase in certificates of deposit and a $2.1 million increase in savings and money market accounts, and a $1.9 million increase in transaction accounts.

Stockholders’ equity increased by $239 thousand to $9.7 million at March 31, 2010, from $9.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to a net income for the quarter of $56 thousand and a $183 thousand increase in accumulated other comprehensive income . The ratio of stockholders’ equity to total assets remained unchanged, at 6.0%, at both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Book value per share increased to $4.69 at March 31, 2010, from $4.58 at December 31, 2009. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for information regarding the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios.

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009

General. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized net income of $56,000, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $140,000, or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Interest Income. Interest income amounted to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase of $143,000 was primarily attributable to a $15 million increase in average interest-earning assets from $141.4 million to $156.4 million in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The average yield on earning assets increased 12 basis points from 5.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to 4.95% for the same period in 2010.

Average loan balances increased by $12 million, from $96.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to $109.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, while the average yield increased from 5.65% to 5.72% over the same respective periods. The average balances of the Bank’s federal funds increased by $1.5 million, over the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The average yield on these respective interest-earning assets increased to 0.39% from 0.28% over the same comparable periods as a result of selectively placing excess liquidity in more competitive money market instruments which are insured by the FDIC. The average balance and yield of the Bank’s investment securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, was $31.3 million and 4.23%, respectively, as compared to an average balance of $30.4 million and a yield of 5.05% for the comparable quarter ended one-year earlier. The average balance on certificates of deposit at other financial institutions decreased from $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to $3.4 million in the respective period in 2010. The average yield declined to 1.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 3.19% at the quarter ended March 31, 2009, or 120 basis points.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, decreased by $200 thousand, from $938 thousand to $738 thousand, when compared to the same three-month period one year earlier. The average balances of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $12.8 million to $134.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from $121.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, but the average costs for those liabilities decreased to 2.20% from 3.13% for the same respective periods.

The average balances of the Bank’s certificates of deposit portfolio increased to $71.3 million at an average cost of 2.78% over the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from $65.8 million at an average cost of 3.79% over the same quarter ended one-year earlier. The $5.5 million increase was primarily attributable to the continued increase in the number of customers that followed the opening of the Bank’s third full service branch in Staten Island, New York, in November 2007, and the general increase in funds deposited due to the increase in FDIC guarantee thresholds. Regular savings account average balances decreased by $2.6 million from $12.5 million at an average cost of 1.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to $9.9 million at an average cost of 1.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Average money market account balances increased $5.2 million, or 16.4% to $37.0 million at an average cost of 1.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from $31.8 million at an average cost of 2.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increased balances were primarily attributable to management’s focus on attracting deposits of this type, as well as the increase in FDIC guarantee thresholds.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the average balance of the Company’s borrowed funds was $10.0 million and its average cost was 3.89%, as compared to $9.2 million and an average cost of 3.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily a result of our drawing down approximately $2.1 million from a line of credit with a correspondent bank partially offset by pay downs on existing FHLB borrowings. At March 31, 2009, the weighted average term to maturity of our borrowings was approximately 2.5 years.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was approximately $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $856,000 for the same quarter in the prior year. The Bank’s average interest rate spread increased to 2.75% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from 1.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, while the net interest margin increased to 3.07% from 2.42%, over the same respective periods.

Provision for Loan Losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, management recorded a provision of $59 thousand to the provision. The Company is still too new to have developed enough internal historical loan loss experience. As a result, management felt it prudent to increase the loan loss allowance to reflect the overall growth in the portfolio as well as its evaluated risk in the portfolio. Comparatively, the provision was $83 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 decreased $49 thousand to approximately $165 thousand as compared to $214 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Service charges and fees increased by $8 thousand, from $100 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to $108 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of servicing a greater number of deposit and loan customers. The net gain on the sales of real estate mortgage loans decreased $30 thousand to $35 thousand at March 31, 2010, as compared to $65 thousand at March 31, 2009. This is due to a decrease in the level of refinance activity from the comparable period in 2009. Other non-interest income categories decreased to $22 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from $49 thousand for the same quarter in 2009, a decrease of $27 thousand, primarily relating to a decrease in annuity sales and a recovery during 2009 from the loss on deposit placed with a correspondent bank.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased $122 thousand when compared to the same quarter in 2009. Compensation and benefits increased $18 thousand primarily as a result of new employee hires. Other non-interest expense increased to $404 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, from $292 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The $112 thousand increase was primarily due to the rise in FDIC assessments, advertising, and other operating expenses related to the expansion of the Bank’s business activities.

Income Tax Expense. We receive no tax benefit from our net operating losses as they are being carried forward and will be available to reduce future taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of funds are deposits, capital, proceeds from the sale of loans, and principal and interest payments on loans and securities. While maturities and scheduled payments on loans and securities provide an indication of the timing of the receipt of funds, other sources of funds such as loan prepayments and deposit inflows are less predictable due to the effects of changes in interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company originated loans, net of sales and principal payments, of approximately $5.1 million including real estate mortgage loans held for sale. At March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding loan origination commitments of $2.2 million (including one-to-four-family real estate mortgage loans held for sale of $200 thousand) and undisbursed lines of credit and construction loans in process of $11.3 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan originations and other commitments.

At March 31, 2010, total deposits were approximately $141.0 million of which approximately $71.1 million were in certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2010, totaled $34.6 million. Based on past experience the Company anticipates that most such certificates of deposit can be renewed upon their expiration.

The Company has a line of credit with a correspondent bank for an amount of up to $3.2 million. This credit facility is secured by 100% of the outstanding shares of the Bank for a period of two years. As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance is $2.7 million. The Company utilized this credit facility primarily to provide funds to the Company to downstream to the Bank to enable it to maintain strong capital ratios and leverage the balance sheet by increasing assets. The line of credit also repaid the amounts due to the same correspondent bank on its previously drawn line of credit, to fund operating expenses and to provide funds for an interest reserve to be applied toward monthly interest payments. Under the debt covenants on this line of credit, the Bank is required to remain well capitalized under the regulatory definition.

The Bank does borrow based upon its need for funds and the cost of deposits as an alternative source of funds. In general the Bank manages its liquidity by maintaining sufficient levels of short-term investments so that funds are available for investment in loans when needed. The Bank monitors its liquidity on a regular basis. Excess liquidity is invested in overnight federal funds sold and other short-term investments. The Bank has a line of credit with the same correspondent bank for an amount of up to $5.0 million. This credit facility is on a secured basis for $2.5 million for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days and an unsecured basis of $2.5 million for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days. The Bank did not utilize this credit facility at any time during the quarter ending March 31, 2010.

The Bank is subject to the risk based capital guidelines administered by bank regulatory agencies. The guidelines require the Bank to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of core (Tier 1) capital to total adjusted tangible assets of 3.0%, and a minimum ratio of total capital (core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be core (Tier 1) capital. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank’s risk weighted capital to risk weighted assets was 11.9%; its Tier I capital to risk weighted assets was 10.7% and its Tier I capital to average assets capital ratios was 7.2%. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s risk weighted capital to risk weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk weighted assets Tier I capital to average assets capital ratios were 11.3%, 10.1% and 6.5%.
