PATRIOT NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1:     Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 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, 2008.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the remainder of 2009.

Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.  Such reclassifications had no effect on net income.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent Events.  This statement provides guidance on principles and requirements for subsequent events.  The guidance sets forth:  1) the period after the balance sheet date during which the management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  Two types of subsequent events require consideration by management: (a) recognized subsequent events; and (b) non-recognized subsequent events.  Recognized subsequent events consist of those events or transactions that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements.  Non-recognized subsequent events consist of those events that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet, but arose subsequent to that date.  This statement is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  Bancorp has evaluated subsequent events through the
 
9

 

date of August 7, 2009.  No material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2009 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

 $   20,121,525

At June 30, 2009, gross unrealized holding gains and gross unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale securities totaled $623,895 and $124,341, respectively.  Of the securities with unrealized losses, there are nine U. S. Government Agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities that have unrealized losses for a period in excess of twelve months, with a combined current unrealized loss of $58,956.
 
10

 
At June 30, 2009, twenty-one securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 0.7% from the amortized cost.  There were no securities with unrealized losses greater than 5% of amortized cost.  At December 31, 2008, thirty-two securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 2.3% from the amortized cost.  There was one security with unrealized losses greater than 5% of amortized cost.

Management does not believe that any of the unrealized losses related to mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government Agencies and sponsored agencies are other-than-temporary since they are the result of changes in the interest rate environment.  Bancorp has the ability to hold these securities to maturity, if necessary, and intends to hold these securities until fair value recovery.
 
The amortized cost and fair value of available for sale debt securities at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 by contractual maturity are presented below.  Actual maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties.  Because mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the unpaid balances of loans delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing were $6.3 million and $337,000, respectively, which are matured and are either in the process of being renewed or awaiting payoff in full.

The unpaid principal balances of loans on nonaccrual status and considered impaired were $119.9 million and $80.2 million, respectively.  If nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their original terms, Bancorp would have recorded approximately $1.9 million of additional income during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $82,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  If nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their original terms, Bancorp would have recorded approximately $3.1 million of additional income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $215,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the interest income collected and recognized on impaired loans was $492,000 and $19,000, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the interest income collected and recognized on impaired loans was $636,000 and $63,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2009, there were 13 loans totaling $18.8 million that were considered “troubled debt restructurings” of which $14.4 million are included in non-accrual loans, as compared to 11 loans totaling $16.7 million, of which $12.4 million were included in non-accrual loans at December 31, 2008.

Note 4:     Income (loss) per share

Bancorp is required to present basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in its consolidated statements of operations.  Basic income per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income (loss) 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 (loss) per share.

Note 6:     Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, Bancorp, in the normal course of business, is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk.  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
 
15

 
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 June 30, 2009:

 
Commitments to extend credit:
   
   
Future loan commitments
 $         9,219,400
 
   
Unused lines of credit
          49,156,293
 
   
Undisbursed construction loans
          51,101,772
 
 
Financial standby letters of credit
            1,381,600
 
     
 $     110,859,065
 

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 June 30, 2009.

Note 7:     Income Taxes

Bancorp recorded an income tax benefit of $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to income tax expense of $53,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 44% and 12%, respectively.  The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to the net loss that Bancorp incurred during the first six months of 2009, which is due to an increased level of non-accrual loans and higher loan loss provisions.  These issues, along with projected changes in net income and permanent differences for 2009, factor into the large difference in effective tax rates.
 
16

 
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Bancorp recorded an income tax benefit of $4.0 million as compared to income tax expense of $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 41% and 16%, respectively, and are based on Bancorp’s annual projections for the year.  The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to the net loss that Bancorp incurred during the first six months of 2009, which is due to an increased level of non-accrual loans and higher loan loss provisions.  These issues, along with projected changes in net income and permanent differences for 2009, factor into the large difference in effective tax rates.

Note 8:     Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

Effective January 1, 2008, Bancorp adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," for financial assets and financial liabilities.  Effective January 1, 2009, Bancorp adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based
 
17

 
on the best information available in the circumstances.  In that regard, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 
o
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 
o
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 
o
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, Bancorp creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.  Bancorp’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes Bancorp’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in accordance with SFAS 107, Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial Instruments, (SFAS No. 107), is set forth below.

Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments and accrued interest receivable and payable:  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Available-for-Sale Securities:  These financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the financial statements. Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  If quoted prices are not available, then
 
18

 
fair values are estimated by using pricing models (i.e., matrix pricing) or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  Examples of such instruments include government agency and sponsored agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities.  Level 3 securities are instruments for which significant unobservable input are utilized.

Loans:  For variable rate loans, which reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair values, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios.  The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the period end rates, estimated by using local market data, at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for credit losses inherent in the portfolios.  Bancorp does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent impaired loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of collateral.

Other Real Estate Owned:  The fair value of Bancorp’s other real estate owned property is based on the estimated current property valuation less estimated disposition costs.  When the fair value is based on current observable appraised values, OREO is classified within Level 2.  Bancorp classifies the OREO within Level 3 when unobservable adjustments are made to appraised values.  Bancorp does not record other real estate owned at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Deposits:  The fair value of demand deposits, regular savings and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of certificates of deposit and other time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities, estimated using local market data, to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on such deposits.  Bancorp does not record deposits at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Short-term borrowings:  The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  Bancorp does not record short-term borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Junior Subordinated Debt:  Junior subordinated debt reprices quarterly and as a result the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings:  The fair value of the advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current Federal Home Bank interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities of such advances.  Bancorp does not record these borrowings at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Off-balance-sheet instruments:  Fair values for Bancorp’s off-balance-sheet instruments (lending commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  Bancorp does not record its off-balance-sheet instruments at fair value on a
 
19

 
recurring basis.

Bancorp has applied the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2009 to non-financial assets and liabilities.  Bancorp has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009.

SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Bancorp.

The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than amounts reported on those dates.

The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of Bancorp since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion of Bancorp’s assets and liabilities.  Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between Bancorp’s disclosures and those of other bank holding companies may not be meaningful.

Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate were insignificant at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  The estimated fair value of fee income on letters of credit at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was insignificant.

Bancorp assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of Bancorp’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to Bancorp.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.  However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.  Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate Bancorp’s overall interest rate risk.

Note 9:     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2008, Bancorp adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities.  Effective January 1, 2009, Bancorp adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, (SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly the purchase method) be used for all business combinations; that an acquirer be identified for each business combination; and that intangible assets be identified and recognized separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination 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, SFAS No. 141(R) changes the requirements for recognizing assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies and recognizing and measuring contingent consideration. SFAS No. 141(R) also enhances the disclosure requirements for business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of SFAS No. 141 (R) will apply prospectively to any future business combinations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement — an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other things, SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also amends SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share, so that earnings per share calculations in consolidated financial statements will continue to be based on amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.  Bancorp adopted  SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009.  The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on Bancorp’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
24

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Bancorp adopted this standard January 1, 2009.  SFAS No. 161 did not have an impact on Bancorp’s financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP No. 142-3”). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). The intent of FSP No. 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations and other applicable accounting literature. FSP No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Bancorp adopted this standard on January 1, 2009.  The adoption of FSP No. 142-3 did not have a material impact on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, (FSP 157-4).  This FSP addresses concerns that FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, emphasized the use of an observable market transaction even when that transaction may not have been orderly or the market for that transaction may not have been active. FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance on: (a) determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased; (b) identifying circumstances in which a transaction is not orderly; and (c) understanding the fair value measurement implications of both (a) and (b). The effective date of disclosures for this new standard is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, only if this FSP is adopted at the same time as FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 and FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1.  Bancorp adopted this new standard for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The adoption of FSP No. 157-4 did not have an impact on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, (FSP 115-2 and 124-2).  This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most significant change the FSP brings is a revision to the amount of other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. The effective date of disclosures for this new standard is for interim and annual
 
25

 
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, only if this FSP is adopted at the same time as FSP No. FAS 157-4 and FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1.  Bancorp adopted this new standard for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The adoption of FSP No. 115-2 did not have an impact on Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1).  This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The effective date of disclosures for this new standard is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and Bancorp has included these disclosures in these financial statements.

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 Operations," 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, (8) the effect of any decision by Bancorp to engage in any business not historically operated by it, (9) the ability of Bancorp to raise additional capital in the future and successfully deploy the funds raised, (10) the state of the economy and real estate values in Bancorp’s market areas, and the consequent affect on the quality of Bancorp’s loans, (11) the recently enacted Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 is expected to have a profound effect on the financial services industry and could dramatically change the competitive environment of Bancorp and (12) recent proposals to increase deposit insurance premiums including the imposition of additional substantial special assessments.  Other such factors may be described in Bancorp’s other 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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified accounting for the allowance for loan losses, the analysis of other-than-temporary-impairment for its investment securities and valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, as Bancorp’s most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important to the portrayal of Bancorp’s financial condition and results.  They require management’s most subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make an estimate about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Summary

Bancorp incurred a net loss of $4.6 million ($0.98 basic and diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net income of $396,000 ($0.08 basic and diluted income per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, Bancorp incurred a net loss of $5.7 million ($1.21 basic and diluted loss per share) as compared to net income of $547,000 ($0.12 basic income per share and $0.11 diluted income per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Bancorp’s net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 1.91% as compared to 3.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 Bancorp’s net interest margin was 2.18% as compared to 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Interest income and fees on loans decreased by 23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, interest income declined by 17% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The significant decline is primarily due to the increased levels of non-accrual loans within the two reporting periods.

Total assets increased $67.4 million from $913.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $980.8 million at June 30, 2009.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $153.1 million to $177.7 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2008.  This increase is a result of Bancorp placing excess overnight funds at the Federal Reserve Bank in order to enhance the yield on this segment of the portfolio.  The available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased $18.6 million to $33.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $52.0 million at December 31, 2008 as Bancorp sold $20 million in securities.  The net loan portfolio decreased $75.7 million from $788.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $712.9 million at June 30, 2009. This is the result of loan payoffs and efforts to reduce concentration levels within the construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios.  Deposits increased $74.6 million to $859.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $784.8 million at December 31, 2008.  Core deposits

have been steadily increasing as customers continue to place funds in FDIC-insured products during uncertain economic times.  Borrowings remained constant during the same period.

Financial Condition

Bancorp’s total assets increased $67.4 million from $913.4 million at December 31, 2008 to $980.8 million at June 30, 2009.  The growth in total assets was funded primarily by deposit growth of $74.6 million.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $153.1 million to $177.7 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $24.6 million at December 31, 2008 as a result of Bancorp placing excess overnight funds at the Federal Reserve Bank in order to enhance the yield on this segment of the portfolio.  Federal funds sold remained constant at $20.0 million.

Cash and Due from Banks

Cash and due from banks increased $153.3 million to $157.6 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2008.  This significant increase is a result of Bancorp placing its excess overnight funds at the Federal Reserve Bank due to better interest rates that are currently being offered through Federal Funds Sold.  The increased level of cash is reflective of the growth in deposits and declines in loans due to payoffs. Bancorp’s intention is to invest these funds in appropriate longer term investments.

Available for sale securities decreased $18.6 million, or 36%, from $52.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $33.4 million at June 30, 2009.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale of six government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities for $20 million, the call of one government sponsored agency obligation for $5.0 million and the redemption of one auction rate preferred security for $1.0 million which was partially offset by the purchase of

two government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities for $10 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  Bancorp recorded a gain of $434,000 in connection with the sale of the government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities during the six month period ending June 30, 2009.

Management evaluates Bancorp’s investment securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis.  Declines in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of Bancorp to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Bancorp’s net loan portfolio decreased $75.7 million from $788.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $712.9 million at June 30, 2009.  The significant decrease is primarily a result of loan payoffs and decreases in construction loans of $37.5 million, commercial real estate loans of $20.6 million, construction-to-permanent loans of $14.7 million and commercial loans of $9.5 million, offset by increases of $5.1 million in residential real estate loans and $1.3 million in home equity loans.  The decrease in the loan portfolio is also a result of net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $7.2 million and the shift of $5.4 million to Other Real Estate Owned.  Also, in an effort to reduce its concentration in construction and commercial real estate loans, Bancorp has not been originating new loans in these portfolios.

At June 30, 2009, the net loan to deposit ratio was 83% and the net loan to total assets ratio was 73%.  At December 31, 2008, these ratios were 100% and 86%, respectively.

Increases in non-accrual loans and troubled debt restructurings are attributable to the state of the economy, which has severely impacted the real estate market and placed unprecedented stress on credit markets.  Residents of Fairfield County, many of whom are associated with the financial services industry, have been affected by the impact of the poor economy on employment and real estate values.

The $119.9 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009 is comprised of exposure to forty-three borrowers, for which a specific reserve of $4.4 million has been established.  Loans totaling $111.3 million are collateral dependent and are secured by residential or commercial real estate located within the Bank’s market area.  In all cases, the Bank has obtained current appraisal reports from independent licensed appraisal firms and discounted those values for estimated liquidation expenses to determine estimated impairment. Based on the Bank’s analysis for loan impairment, specific reserves totaling $4.1 million are related to collateral dependent loans.  Impairment related to loans totaling $8.6 million to six borrowers has been measured based on discounted cash flows resulted in specific reserves of $285,000.  Such loans are also secured by real estate.  Of the $119.9 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2009, twenty-five borrowers with aggregate balances of $48.8 million continue to make loan payments and these loans are current as to payments.

Loans delinquent over 90 days and still accruing aggregating $6.3 million are comprised of thirteen loans, which are matured and are either in the process of being renewed or awaiting payoff in full.
 
32

 
Potential Problem Loans

In addition to the above, there are $53.1 million of substandard loans for which management has a concern as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present repayment terms.  Borrowers continue to make payments and loans totaling $49.1 million are less than 30 days past due at June 30, 2009 and $4.0 million are less than 60 days past due.  This exposure is comprised of thirty-nine borrowers.

At June 30, 2009, Bancorp had no loans other than those described above as to which management had significant doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms.

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 the Board 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 and are measured accordingly, i.e. collateral dependent impairments are determined by recent appraisal reports and income properties are determined using a discounted cash flow method. Bancorp obtains current appraisals on all real estate and construction loans maturing in the coming four months, as well as for loans added to special mention. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status the loan is considered impaired. For collateral dependent impaired loans, the appraised value is reduced by estimated liquidation expenses and the result is compared to the principal loan balance to determine the impairment amount, if any. For loans that are not collateral dependent, the impairment is determined by using the discounted cash flow method which takes into account the current expected cash flows discounted at the original interest rate in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.

The general component is arrived at by considering previous loss experience, current economic conditions and their effect on borrowers and other pertinent factors.  In arriving at previous loss experience, Bancorp, given its history of actual loss experience and the rapid turnover ratio of its portfolio, relies more heavily on the charge off history and qualitative
 
33

 
factors of other institutions adjusted based on management’s own experience and judgment.  The qualitative factors considered in the analysis include:  the size and types of loan relationships, depth of lenders and credit administration staff and external reviews and examinations.  A risk rating system is also 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, unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, delays in obtaining information, 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.  In the fourth quarter of 2008, Bancorp created an internal loan review position in addition to the loan reviews performed by an external independent firm.

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, and prevailing internal and external factors including but not limited to current economic conditions and local real estate markets.

The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued whenever reasonable doubt exists as to its collectibility and generally is discontinued when loans are past due 90 days, based on contractual terms, as to either principal or interest.  When the accrual of interest income is discontinued, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income.  The accrual of interest on loans past due 90 days or more, including impaired loans, may be continued if the loan is well secured, and it is believed all principal and accrued interest income due on the loan will be realized, and the loan is in the process of collection; however, this is not Bancorp’s practice.  A non-accrual loan is restored to accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and collectibility of interest and principal is no longer in doubt, and at least six months of satisfactory performance has elapsed.

 
34

 
Management considers all non-accrual loans and certain restructured loans to be impaired.  In most cases, loan payments that are past due less than 90 days, based on contractual terms, are considered minor collection delays and the related loans are not considered to be impaired.  The Bank considers consumer installment loans to be pools of smaller balance homogeneous loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment.

The changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods shown are as follows:

Total deposits increased $74.6 million, or 9%, from $784.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $859.4 million at June 30, 2009.  Demand deposits increased $2.2 million.  Interest bearing accounts increased $72.4 million, money market accounts, savings deposits and certificates of deposits increased $50.3 million, $13.5 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.  NOW accounts increased $3.8 million primarily due to growth in IOLTA accounts.  Money market accounts increased as customers refrained from locking in long-term rates in the current lower rate environment.  The growth is also attributable to depositors placing funds in FDIC-insured products during these uncertain economic times.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2009, total borrowings were $65.2 million and are unchanged as compared to December 31, 2008.

Bancorp has elected to defer interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debt. The terms of the junior subordinated debt and the trust documents allow Bancorp to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period the trust will likewise suspend the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. The deferral election began with respect to regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments aggregating approximately $90,000 that would otherwise have been made in the second quarter of 2009.Bancorp has the ability to continue to defer interest payments through ongoing notification to the trustee and will make a decision each quarter as to whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral period interest will continue to accrue on the debt.
 
36

 
In addition to the outstanding borrowings disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet, Bancorp has the ability to borrow approximately $155.3 million in additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, which includes a $2.0 million overnight line of credit.  Bancorp 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 June 30, 2009.
 
 
Other Assets

Other real estate owned of $5.4 million is included in other assets and is comprised of one property obtained through loan foreclosure proceedings completed at the end of the second quarter of 2009.

Capital

Capital decreased $5.3 million as a result of a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The net loss was primarily attributable to a loan loss provision of $7.6 million recorded during the first six months due to the impact of current economic conditions on the local real estate market and the impact on interest income of the significantly higher levels of non-accrual loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Bancorp’s off-balance sheet arrangements, which primarily consist of commitments to lend, decreased by $29.2 million from $140.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $110.9 million at June 30, 2009 due to decreases of $7.4 million in unused lines of credit and $21.6 million undisbursed construction loans.

The following rate volume analysis reflects the impact that changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities had on net interest income during the periods indicated.  Information is provided in each category with respect to changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume) and the total net change.  The change resulting from the combined impact of volume and rate is allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase in average interest earning assets of $75.9 million, or 9%, was offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets, resulting in interest income for Bancorp of $11.0 million as compared to $14.5 million for the same period in 2008.  Interest and fees on loans decreased $3.2 million, or 23%, from $13.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $10.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This decrease is primarily the result of a significant increase in the level of non-accrual loans and a considerable decrease in average interest rates.  When compared to the same period last year, interest income on investments decreased primarily due to a decline in the average balance of investments resulting from the sale of investment securities, redemption of money market preferred equity securities, principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and the redemption or call of securities.  Interest income on federal funds sold and
 
40

 
interest-bearing deposits in banks decreased by $13,000, or 28%, as a result of significant declines in rates on Federal Funds Sold and other short-term assets, which was partially offset by a substantial increase in average balances.

Total interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $6.6 million represents a decrease of $803,000, or 11%, as compared to interest expense of $7.4 million for the same period last year.  This decrease in interest expense is primarily reflective of a decrease in interest rates partially offset by higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $113.3 million or 15%.  Although average balances of deposit accounts increased $110.4 million, or 16%, significantly lower interest rates resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $819,000.  Average FHLB advances increased $2.9 million, resulting in a corresponding increase of $42,000 in interest expense on FHLB advances.  The decrease in the index to which the junior subordinated debt interest rate is tied resulted in a decline in interest expense of $29,000, or 25%.

As a result of the above, Bancorp’s net interest income decreased $2.7 million, or 38%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $7.1 million for the same period last year.  The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 1.91% as compared to 3.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Bancorp had an annualized return(loss) on average equity (“ROE”) of (32.53%) and an annualized return(loss) on average assets (“ROA”) of (1.90%).  The comparable ratios for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were an annualized ROE of 2.34% and an annualized ROA of 0.18%.

Interest and dividend income was $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which represents a decrease of $5.5 million, or 19%, as compared to interest and dividend income of $28.8 million for the same period last year.  This decrease was due primarily to a significant increase in the level of non-accrual loans and a sizeable decrease in the yield on loans.  This was combined with a decrease in interest rates and average balances on investment securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 14%, to $13.4 million from $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This decrease in interest expense was due to the above-mentioned reasons.

As a result of the above, net interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 25%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $9.9 million as compared to $13.3 million at June 30, 2008.  The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 2.18% as compared to 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Bancorp had an annualized ROE of (19.78%) and an ROA of (1.20%).  The comparable ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were an annualized ROE of 1.62% and an annualized ROA of 0.13%.  Performance ratios for the

second quarter of 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be had for the remainder of the year.

Provision for Loan Losses

Based on management’s most recent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $6.0 million as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $7.6 million as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Additionally, during the six months ended ended June 30, 2009, management charged-off $7.3 million related to specific collateral dependent impaired loans included in non-accruing loans.  The increased provision for this quarter was based upon management’s assessment of the impact changes in the national, regional and local economic and business conditions have had on Bancorp’s loan portfolio.  The impact of the major displacement in the national and global credit markets is reflected in the provision.  The secondary mortgage market continues to be impacted by economic events.  These macro issues have also impacted local real estate markets.  While the marketing time of local real estate has also expanded and prices have declined, in general Bancorp continues to maintain conservative loan to value ratios within its construction loan portfolio.

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

Noninterest income

Noninterest income decreased $94,000 from $761,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $667,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Declining interest rates resulted in a decrease in earnings on the Bank-owned life insurance, which generated income of $191,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $258,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The assets of the Bank-owned life insurance are invested in a separate account arrangement with a single insurance company, which consists primarily of government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities.  This insurance company is currently rated AA by Standard & Poor’s and Aa3 by Moody’s.  A decrease in the volume of loans placed with outside investors resulted in a decline in mortgage brokerage and referral fee income of $17,000, or 17%.  Loan origination and processing fees for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $13,000, or 20%, as compared to the same period last year.  This decrease was primarily due to a decline in loan application fees and loan documentation preparation fees.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest income increased $174,000, or 12%, to $1.7 million as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  This increase is primarily due to the gain of $434,000 on the sale of six government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by the declines mentioned above.

Noninterest expenses

Noninterest expenses increased $1.0 million, or 17%, to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $6.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Salaries and benefits expense decreased $427,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from the same period last year due primarily to a decline in lending commissions and accruals for performance related sales and incentive compensation and bonus programs.  Occupancy and equipment expense, net, increased $100,000, or 8%, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to the leasing of additional administrative and operational office space.  Data processing and other outside services increased $394,000 from $458,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to $852,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  This is due to an increase in consulting fees.  Fees for professional services, which are comprised primarily of audit and accounting and legal services, increased $358,000 to $587,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $230,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Regulatory assessment fees increased $728,000, or 374%,  to $922,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $194,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the increase in FDIC assessment rates and a special assessment charge of $453,000 that is based on the Bank’s Tier 1 capital and total assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expenses increased $1.2 million, or 9%, to $13.8 million from $12.6 million for the same period in 2008.  Salaries and benefits decreased $747,000 to $5.9 million.  Occupancy and equipment expense, net, increased $209,000 to $2.8 million.  Data processing and other outside services increased $404,000 to $1.3 million mainly due to an increase in consulting fees.  Regulatory assessment fees increased $838,000 to $1.2 million from $364,000 for the same period in 2008.  The reasons for these variances are the same as those cited above.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Bancorp recorded an income tax benefit of $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as compared to income tax expense of $53,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 44% and 12%, respectively.  The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to the net loss that
 
43

 
Bancorp incurred during the first six months of 2009, which is due to an increased level of non-accrual loans and higher loan loss provisions.  These issues, along with projected changes in net income and permanent differences for 2009, factor into the large difference in effective tax rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Bancorp recorded an income tax benefit of $4.0 million as compared to income tax expense of $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 41% and 16%, respectively, and are based on Bancorp’s annual projections for the year.  The change in effective tax rates is primarily due to the net loss that Bancorp incurred during the first six months of 2009, which is due to an increased level of non-accrual loans and higher loan loss provisions.  These issues, along with projected changes in net income and permanent differences for 2009, factor into the large difference in effective tax rates.

Liquidity

Bancorp's liquidity ratio was 21% and 9% at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, 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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively:

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 June 30, 2009 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 with the goal to maintain its “well-capitalized” classification.  Management’s strategic and capital plans contemplate various alternatives to raise additional capital to support and strengthen the Bank’s capital levels.  Bancorp has engaged Sandler O’Neill to assist the Bank in this process.  There can be no assurance that Bancorp will succeed in this endeavor.  Based upon current information, however, Bancorp expects to be able to report further on these efforts prior to the end of the third quarter.

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, the primary source of market risk is interest rate risk, which is the impact that changing interest rates have on current and future earnings. In addition, Bancorp’s loan portfolio is primarily secured by real estate in the company’s market area.  As a result, the changes in valuation of real estate could also impact Bancorp’s 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 meet quarterly.  ALCO monitors the interest rate risk analyses, reviews investment transactions during the period and determines compliance with Bank policies.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk

In order to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements, management analyzes Bancorp’s interest rate sensitivity position 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.
 
46

 
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 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments.

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 of these changes are added to or subtracted from the base case; 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.
