Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets decreased $15.8 million or 3.4% to $448.4 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $464.2 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to an $8.5 million or 11.3% decrease in total cash and cash equivalents, a $3.8 million or 16.3% decrease in mortgage backed securities available for sale, a $1.4 million or 5.8% decrease in investment securities held to maturity, a $674,000 or 2.3% decrease in investment securities available for sale, and a $2.0 million or 0.7% decrease in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent and other real estate owned (OREO) (which includes real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure) increased $5.3 million to $16.1 million or 3.60% of total assets at June 30, 2010 from $10.8 million or 2.33% of total assets at December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to the placement of a $6.1 million land and development loan for a mixed use commercial real estate project located in Bradenton, Florida, as nonaccruing at March 31, 2010. This resulted from a lack of sales activity combined with a decline in the liquidity of the borrowers and their inability to access additional funds. At June 30, 2010, the $16.1 million of nonperforming assets consisted of $1.8 million of accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent, $11.3 million of nonaccrual loans, and $3.0 million in OREO. At June 30, 2010, the $11.3 million of nonaccrual loans consisted of one single family real estate loan in the amount of $76,000, nine commercial real estate loans totaling $1.4 million, two real estate construction loans in the amount of $9.8 million, and one commercial business loan in the amount of $74,000. The amount of specific reserves related to nonaccrual loans was $1.2 million as of June 30, 2010. Management continues to aggressively pursue the collection and resolution of all delinquent loans.

The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $575,000 or 766.7% increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to the need for additional reserves that resulted from our quarterly valuation analysis for problem loans and charge-offs of $455,000.
