NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Bancorp and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the remainder of 2007.

Note 2. Investments

The following table is a summary of Bancorp’s available for sale securities portfolio, at fair value, at the dates shown:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2007		2006

U. S. Government Agency and
sponsored agency obligations	$	16,660,507	$	16,566,822
Mortgage-backed securities		40,029,167		43,476,313
Money market preferred
equity securities		10,050,125		7,050,000
Total Available for Sale Securities	$	66,739,799	$	67,093,135

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of available for sale securities at March 31, 2007 are as follows:

			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Value
U. S. Government sponsored
agency obligations	$	17,000,000	$	-	$	(339,493	)	$	16,660,507
Mortgage-backed securities		40,429,758		46,726		(447,317	)		40,029,167
Money market preferred
equity securities		10,050,125		-		-			10,050,125
Total Available For Sale Securities	$	67,479,883	$	46,726	$	(786,810	)	$	66,739,799

At March 31, 2007, gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities totaled $46,726 and $786,810, respectively. Of the securities with unrealized losses, there are nine U. S. Government sponsored agency obligations and 24 mortgage-backed securities that have unrealized losses for a period in excess of twelve months, with a combined current unrealized loss of $777,482. Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses are other than temporary since they are the result of changes in the interest rate environment and they relate to debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored agencies. Bancorp has the ability to hold these securities to maturity, if necessary, and expects to receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. As a result, management believes that these unrealized losses will not have a negative impact on future earnings or a permanent negative effect on capital.

Total Deposits	$	640,280,159	$	561,451,664

Note 5. Borrowings

In addition to the outstanding borrowings disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet, the Bank has the ability to borrow approximately $100.8 million in additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston which includes a $2.0 million overnight line of credit. The Bank also has arranged a $3.0 million overnight line of credit from a correspondent bank and $10.0 million under a repurchase agreement; no amounts were outstanding under these two arrangements at March 31, 2007.

Note 6. Income per share

Bancorp is required to present basic income per share and diluted income per share in its income statements. Basic income per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by Bancorp relate to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. Bancorp is also required to provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of both basic and diluted income per share.

The following is information about the computation of income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

Three months ended March 31, 2007
	Net Income		Shares		Amount
Basic Income Per Share

Note 8. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, Bancorp is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement Bancorp has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contracts be fully drawn

upon, the customers default and the values of any existing collateral become worthless. Bancorp uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments and evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Management believes that Bancorp controls the credit risk of these financial instruments through credit approvals, credit limits, monitoring procedures and the receipt of collateral as deemed necessary.

Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk are as follows at March 31, 2007:

Commitments to extend credit:
Future loan commitments	$	69,280,725
Unused lines of credit		47,485,782
Undisbursed construction loans		155,808,850
Financial standby letters of credit		1,266,399
	$	273,841,756

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates, or other termination clauses, and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since these commitments could expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by Bancorp upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include residential and commercial property, deposits and securities.

Standby letters of credit are written commitments issued by Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Newly issued or modified guarantees that are not derivative contracts are recorded on Bancorp’s consolidated balance sheet at the fair value at inception. No liability related to guarantees was required to be recorded at March 31, 2007.

Note 9. Income Taxes

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 applies to all tax positions related to income taxes subject to SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This includes tax positions considered to be “routine” as well as those with a high degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 utilizes a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition of the benefit (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon

examination. Measurement (step two) is only addressed if step one has been satisfied (i.e., the position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Effective January 1, 2007, Bancorp has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and has analyzed its federal and significant state filing positions. The periods subject to examination for Bancorp’s federal returns are the tax years 2003 through 2006. The periods subject to examination for Bancorp’s significant state return, which is Connecticut, are the tax years 2003 through 2006. Bancorp believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change on its financial statements. As a result, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48 nor was there a cumulative effect related to adopting FIN48 recorded.

Bancorp’s policy for recording interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions is to record such items as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes.

Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB No. 155 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for Bancorp beginning January 1, 2008. Management is evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on Bancorp’s financial position and results of operation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Certain statements contained in Bancorp’s public reports, including this report, and in particular in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," may be forward looking and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. These factors include, but are not limited to, (1) changes in prevailing interest rates which would affect the interest earned on Bancorp's interest earning assets and the interest paid on its interest bearing liabilities, (2) the timing of repricing of Bancorp's interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, (3) the effect of changes in governmental monetary

policy, (4) the effect of changes in regulations applicable to Bancorp and the conduct of its business, (5) changes in competition among financial services companies, including possible further encroachment of non-banks on services traditionally provided by banks, (6) the ability of competitors that are larger than Bancorp to provide products and services which it is impracticable for Bancorp to provide, (7) the effects of Bancorp's opening of branches, and (8) the effect of any decision by Bancorp to engage in any business not historically operated by it and (9) the ability of Bancorp to timely and successfully deploy the capital raised in the 2006 offering and any future offerings. Other such factors may be described in Bancorp's future filings with the SEC.

Although Bancorp believes that it offers the loan and deposit products and has the resources needed for continued success, future revenues and interest spreads and yields cannot be reliably predicted. These trends may cause Bancorp to adjust its operations in the future. Because of the foregoing and other factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of future financial results or stock prices.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the ordinary course of business, Bancorp has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to reporting results of operations and financial condition in preparing its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes the following discussion addresses Bancorp’s only critical accounting policy, which is the policy that is most important to the presentation of Bancorp’s financial results. This policy requires management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired. A risk rating system is utilized to measure the adequacy of the general component of the allowance for loan losses. Under this system, each loan is assigned a risk rating between one and nine, which has a corresponding loan loss factor assigned, with a rating of “one” being the least risk and a rating of “nine” reflecting the most risk or a complete loss. Risk ratings are assigned based upon the recommendations of the credit analyst and originating loan officer and confirmed by the loan committee at the initiation of the transactions and are reviewed and changed, when necessary, during the life of the loan. Loan loss reserve factors, which are based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors, are multiplied against the balances in each risk rating category to arrive at the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses. Loans assigned a risk rating of “six” or above are monitored more closely by the credit administration officers. The unallocated portion of the allowance reflects management’s estimate of probable but undetected losses inherent in the portfolio; such estimates are influenced by uncertainties in economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. Loan quality control is continually monitored by management subject to oversight by the board of directors through its members who serve on the loan committee. Loan quality control is also reviewed by the full board of directors on a monthly basis. The methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistently applied; however, revisions may be made to the methodology and assumptions based on historical information related to charge-off and recovery experience and management’s evaluation of the current loan portfolio.

SUMMARY

Bancorp’s net income of $516,000 ($0.11 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 represents an increase of $117,000, or 29%, as compared to net income of $399,000 ($0.12 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Total assets increased $78.1 million from $646.0 million at December 31, 2006 to $724.1 million at March 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents increased $34.1 million to $89.6 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $55.5 million at December 31, 2006. The available for sale securities portfolio decreased $353,000 to $66.7 million at March 31, 2007 from $67.1 million at December 31, 2006. The net loan portfolio increased $41.8 million from $506.9 million at December 31, 2006 to $548.7 million at March 31, 2007. Deposits increased $78.8 million to $640.3 million at March 31, 2007 from $561.5 million at December 31, 2006. Borrowings remained unchanged while total shareholders’ equity increased $525,000 from $64.3 million at December 31, 2006 to $64.8 million at March 31, 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets

Bancorp’s total assets increased $78.1 million, or 12%, from $646.0 million at December 31, 2006 to $724.1 million at March 31, 2007. The growth in the balance sheet was funded by an increase in deposits which was largely attributable to promotions associated with the opening of three new branches. Cash and cash equivalents increased $34.1 million to $89.6 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $55.5 million at December 31, 2006. Cash and due from banks increased $7.2 million. Federal funds sold and short term investments increased $17.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively; these increases are the result of investing funds from a large inflow of certificates of deposit and attorney escrow accounts.

Investments

Available for sale securities decreased $353,000, or 1%, from $67.1 million at December 31, 2006 to $66.7 million at March 31, 2007. The purchase of money market preferred equity securities and the improvement in the market value of available for sale securities was offset by principal repayments on mortgage backed securities and the maturity of a security, resulting in an overall decrease in the portfolio.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Bank’s required investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, among other factors, takes into consideration the level of outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Since the level of advances remained unchanged, the Bank’s investment also remained the same.

Loans

Bancorp’s net loan portfolio increased $41.8 million, or 8%, from $506.9 million at December 31, 2006 to $548.7 million at March 31, 2007. The significant increases include $12.8 million in construction loans, $24.9 million in commercial real estate loans, $1.6 million in residential real estate loans and $2.7 million in commercial loans.

The impact of the Bank’s hiring of additional lenders and credit analysts throughout 2006 while offering a competitively priced and expanded product line contributed to the growth in the portfolio in 2007. Although short term rates have increased, the growth in loans reflects the continued strong demand for real estate based financing in the Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York areas where the Bank primarily conducts its lending business. The Bank plans to further increase its lending and credit staff as it expands its franchise which should result in sustained strong loan growth, but from a wider market area.

At March 31, 2007, the net loan to deposit ratio was 86% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 76%. At December 31, 2006, the net loan to deposit ratio was 90% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 78%.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Based on management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance of $5.6 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is adequate, but not excessive, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb losses on existing loans.

Non-Accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans

The following table presents non-accruing loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing:

	March 31		December 31,
(Thousands of dollars)	2007		2006

Loans delinquent over 90 days	$	1,910	$	1,897
still accruing
Non accruing loans		2,874		2,904
Total	$	4,784	$	4,801
% of Total Loans		0.86 %		0.93 %
% of Total Assets		0.66 %		0.74 %

Potential Problem Loans

The $2.9 million in non-accruing loans at March 31, 2007 was comprised of three loans, all to the same borrower of which $1.04 million was guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loans are secured by commercial and residential real estate as well as associated business assets. Based on the Bank’s analysis for loan impairment, a specific reserve in the amount of $250,000 has been established; however, management believes that the business is viable and has approved a restructuring of the existing debt.

Loans delinquent over 90 days and still accruing were comprised of five loans, all of which were past their maturity but current as to loan payments.

At March 31, 2007, Bancorp had no loans, other than those disclosed in the table above, for which management has significant doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $78.8 million or 14% from $561.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $640.3 million at March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 the Bank opened three new branches in Fairfield County, Connecticut which contributed significantly to the growth in deposits. The Bank continues to execute its strategic plan and plans to open additional branches in Fairfield and Westchester Counties as good quality locations become available; deposit growth will therefore fluctuate based largely on that activity. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.9 million, or 5% during the quarter. This decrease was primarily due to fluctuations in personal and commercial checking, partially offset by increases in internal accounts. Interest bearing deposits increased $81.7 million or 16% from $504.8 million at December 31, 2006 to $586.5 million at March 31, 2007. NOW accounts increased $12.6 million or 47% as compared to December 31, 2006; increases in attorney escrow accounts of $14.7 million, were partially offset by a net decrease in other NOW account products of $2.1 million. Money market fund accounts decreased $1.3, million or 3%, from $40.9 million at December 31, 2006 to $39.6 million at March 31, 2007 while certificates of deposits increased $67.8 million during the same period. This 16.5% increase is primarily due to attractive rates offered by the Bank in conjunction with the grand openings of three additional branches.

Borrowings

Borrowings at March 31, 2007 remained unchanged from December 31, 2006.

Capital

Capital increased $525,000 as income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 combined with an improvement in the market value of available for sales securities was partially offset by the declaration of the quarterly dividend.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Bancorp’s off-balance sheet arrangements, which primarily consist of commitments to lend, increased by $77.5 million from $196.3 million on December 31, 2006 to $273.8 million on March 31, 2007 due primarily to an increase in approved loan commitments and undisbursed construction loans.

An increase in average interest earning assets of $164.9 million, or 35%, combined with an increase in interest rates increased Bancorp’s net interest income $990,000 or 21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Interest and fees on loans increased $3.1 million, or 44%, from $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to $10.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in the average outstanding balances of the loan portfolio followed by the impact of a rising interest rate environment. Interest income on investments increased slightly; this increase is primarily due to the increase in the balance of short term investments combined with an increase in money market preferred equity

securities partially offset by the reduction in the portfolio due to principal payments on mortgage backed securities and a maturing security. Interest income on federal funds sold and other cash equivalents increased as a result of an increase in average balances followed by an increase in short term interest rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, interest and dividend income was $11.6 million which represents an increase of $3.5 million, or 44%, as compared to interest and dividend income of $8.0 million for the same period last year. This increase was due to an increase in average balances followed by an increase in the yield on earning assets.

Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $6.0 million represents an increase of $2.5 million, or 74%, as compared to the same period last year. This increase in interest expense is the result of higher average balances of interest bearing liabilities of $130.5 million or 32% combined with higher interest rates paid on deposit. Average balances of deposit accounts increased $139.2 million, or 37%, resulting in an increase in interest expense on deposits of $2.6 million, or 84%; average FHLB advances decreased, resulting in a corresponding decrease in FHLB interest expense; and the increase in the index to which the junior subordinated debt is tied resulted in an increase in interest expense of $16,000, or 10%.

As a result of the above, Bancorp’s net interest income increased $991,000, or 21%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $4.6 million for the same period last year.

Provision for loan losses

Based on management’s most recent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, no provision for loan losses was charged to operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $573,000 for the same period last year.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Noninterest income

Noninterest income decreased $45,000, or 7%, from $630,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to $585,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. A decrease in the volume of loans placed with outside investors resulted in a decrease in mortgage brokerage and referral fee income of $78,000 and a decrease in loan origination and processing fee income of $19,000. Fees and service charges for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $36,000, or 25%, as compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in service charges assessed on deposit accounts resulting from increases in insufficient and uncollected funds transaction volumes. Other income increased $16,000, or 31% as compared to the same period last year as a result of increases in debit card transactions and ATM surcharges.

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses increased $1.3 million, or 32%, to $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Salaries and benefits expense increased $778,000, or 34%, to $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to staffing additions for two branches that were opened in the last quarter of 2006 and three branches opened in the first quarter of 2007, additional loan officers and credit administration support personnel and the establishment of a formal marketing department. Occupancy and equipment expense, net, increased $301,000, or 47% to $947,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $646,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 due to the leasing of additional space for the new branches mentioned above. Increased marketing campaigns and related activities resulted in an increase in advertising and promotional expenses of $54,000, or 37%, to $199,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $145,000 for the same period in 2006. Data processing and other outside services decreased $11,000, or 3%, from $423,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, to $412,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in information technology consulting which was the result of additions to the Bank’s Information Technology staff, partially offset by an increase in data processing and correspondent banking expenses which occurred as a result of the growth in the branch network.

Income Taxes

Bancorp recorded income tax expense of $327,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $231,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This change was related primarily to the change in pre-tax income and the exclusion, for state tax purposes, of certain holding company expenses. The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 were 39% and 37%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY

Bancorp's liquidity ratio was 22% and 17% at March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. The liquidity ratio is defined as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets. The following categories of assets, as described in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are considered liquid assets: cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short term investments and available for sale securities. Liquidity is a measure of Bancorp’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements of a financial institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposit accounts and increases in its loan portfolio. Management believes Bancorp’s short-term assets provide sufficient liquidity to cover loan demand, potential fluctuations in deposit accounts and to meet other anticipated cash operating requirements.

CAPITAL

The following table illustrates Bancorp’s regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 respectively:

	March 31, 2007			December 31, 2006
Total Risk-based Capital		13.76	%		15.34	%
Tier 1 Risk-based Capital		12.76	%		14.22	%
Leverage Capital		10.98	%		11.63	%

The following table illustrates the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 1007 and December 31, 2006 respectively:

	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006
Total Risk-based Capital	13.52	%	15.02	%
Tier 1 Risk-based Capital	12.52	%	13.90	%
Leverage Capital	10.77	%	11.37	%

Capital adequacy is one of the most important factors used to determine the safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system. Based on the above ratios, the Bank is considered to be “well capitalized” at March 31, 2007 under applicable regulations. To be considered “well-capitalized,” an institution must generally have a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%.

Management continuously assesses the adequacy of the Bank’s capital to ensure that the Bank remains a “well capitalized” institution. Management’s strategic and capital plans contemplate various options to maintain the “well capitalized” classification.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding this, inflation can directly affect the value of loan collateral, in particular, real estate. Inflation, or disinflation, could significantly affect Bancorp’s earnings in future periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Based upon the nature of Bancorp’s business, market risk is primarily limited to interest rate risk, which is the impact, that changing interest rates have on current and future earnings.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk

Bancorp’s goal is to maximize long term profitability while minimizing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The first priority is to structure and price Bancorp’s assets and liabilities to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread while reducing the net effect of changes in interest rates. In order to accomplish this, the focus is on maintaining a proper balance between the timing and volume of assets and liabilities re-pricing within the balance sheet. One method of achieving this balance is to originate variable rate loans for the portfolio and purchase short term investments to offset the increasing short term re-pricing of the liability side of the balance sheet. In fact, a number of the interest bearing deposit products have no contractual maturity. Therefore, deposit balances may run off unexpectedly due to changing market conditions. Additionally, loans and investments with longer term rate adjustment frequencies are matched against longer term deposits and borrowings to lock in a desirable spread.

The exposure to interest rate risk is monitored by the Management Asset and Liability Committee consisting of senior management personnel. The committee meets on a monthly basis, but may convene more frequently as conditions dictate. The committee reviews the interrelationships within the balance sheet to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk. This committee reports to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis regarding its activities. In addition to the Management Asset and Liability Committee, there is a Board Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) which meets quarterly. ALCO monitors the interest rate risk analyses, reviews investment transaction during the period and determines compliance with Bank policies.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk

Management analyzes Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements through the use of interest income simulation and GAP analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest sensitive.” An asset or liability is said to be interest sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.

Management’s goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations are completed

quarterly and presented to ALCO. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions. Changes to these assumptions can significantly affect the results of the simulations. The simulation incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in spreads between different market rates.

Simulation analysis is only an estimate of Bancorp’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. Management regularly reviews the potential effect changes in interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.

Management has established interest rate risk guidelines measured by behavioral GAP analysis calculated at the one year cumulative GAP level and a net interest income and economic value of portfolio equity simulation model measured by a 200 basis point interest rate shock.

The table below sets forth an approximation of Bancorp’s exposure to changing interest rates using management’s behavioral GAP analysis and as a percentage of estimated net interest income and estimated net portfolio value using interest income simulation. The calculations use projected repricings of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments.

	Basis			Interest Rate		March 31,		December 31,
	Points		Risk Guidelines			2007		2006

Gap percentage total					+/- 15 %		-4.14 %		1.53 %
Net interest income		200			+/- 15 %		9.99 %		11.22 %
		-200			+/- 15 %		-10.64 %		-12.04 %
Net portfolio value		200			+/- 25 %		-4.72 %		-3.25 %

Bancorp’s net interest income benefited from the growth in the balance sheet during 2007; the increase in net interest income was partially offset by a compressed interest margin due to higher rates on deposit accounts. These factors contributed to higher levels of net interest income and net portfolio value in the base case scenario at March 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006 using Bancorp’s interest income simulation model. Bancorp’s interest rate risk position was within all of its interest rate risk guidelines at March 31, 2007. The interest rate risk position is monitored on an ongoing basis and management reviews strategies designed to maintain all categories within guidelines.

The table below sets forth examples of changes in estimated net interest income and the estimated net portfolio value based on projected scenarios of interest rate increases and decreases. The analyses indicate the rate risk embedded in Bancorp’s portfolio at the dates indicated should all interest rates instantaneously rise or fall. The results are derived by adding to or subtracting from all current rates; however, there are certain limitations to these types of analyses. Rate changes are rarely instantaneous and these analyses may also overstate the impact of short term repricings.
