NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly known as Hopkinsville Federal Bank (the "Bank") to become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The Company’s primary asset is the outstanding capital stock of the converted Bank, and its sole business is that of the converted Bank. The Bank owns 100% of the stock of Fall and Fall Insurance Agency (Fall & Fall) of Fulton, Kentucky. Fall & Fall sells life and casualty insurance to both individuals and businesses. The majority of Fall and Fall’s customer base lies within the geographic footprint of the Bank. The Bank operates a financial services division in Murray, Kentucky and Dickson, Tennessee, under the name of Heritage Solutions. The Bank operates a full service mortgage division in Clarksville, Tennessee, under the name Heritage Mortgage Services.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Beginning January 1, 2007, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 91 (SFAS 91), Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases. The implementation is not considered a change in accounting principle under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, because prior transactions were immaterial in their effect. As a result of the implementation of SFAS 91 and strong loan growth, the Company has recorded unamortized loan origination cost less than unamortized loan fees in the amount of ($51,500) and $431,500 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. Due to the short term nature of many of these loans, the Company anticipates a reduction in overall effect by the end of 2007.

Table of Contents

In prior years, the total amount of fees collected and cost incurred as a result of loan originations would have been recognized as income and expense during the month that the fees were collected and expenses incurred. The following table outlines the effects of SFAS 91 implementation on after tax earnings per share, basic and diluted:

 

     Three Months Ended

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006. Diluted common shares arise from the potentially dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options outstanding and unvested restricted stock awards:

NOTE (4) SECURITIES

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to (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 the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At September 30, 2007, the Company has 131 available for sale and 11 Held to Maturity securities with unrealized losses. Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality with the exception of $2 million (par value) in Ford Motor Credit bonds (FMAC) maturing in increments of $1 million each in October 2008 and October 2009.

Management will continue reviewing regulatory filings as well as monitoring the general operating environment of Ford and Ford Motor Credit. This review will include keeping abreast on the upcoming labor negotiations between Ford and its hourly workforce. The Company’s analysis indicates that Ford’s liquidity remains adequate. However, a prolonged work stoppage may seriously reduce Ford’s liquidity. The Company continues to believe that it has the ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity but will continue to closely monitor Ford’s financial and operational status. The carrying amount of securities available for sale and their estimated fair values at September 30, 2007, is as follows:

Note (6) ACQUISITION

Heritage Bank completed the acquisition of all the assets and liabilities associated with four offices of AmSouth Bank, a state chartered bank having its principal place of business in Birmingham, Alabama (AmSouth), located in Cheatham and Houston counties in Tennessee (Middle Tennessee Division) on June 29, 2006. The Bank assumed approximately $34.5 million in loans and $65.5 million in deposit liabilities. The Bank also acquired four parcels of real property on which the retail offices are located as well as the majority of personal property used in the daily operation of these offices. After payment of a deposit premium, the Bank received approximately $22.4 million in cash from AmSouth at the closing. The Bank retained all employees, including local retail management associated with each office previously employed by AmSouth with minimal changes in their rate of compensation and benefits.

In accordance with SFAS 141, “Accounting for Business Combinations” and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, HopFed Bancorp, Inc, recorded at fair value the assets and liabilities of the offices assumed as of June 29, 2006 and previously reported in the Company’s June 30, 2006 SEC Form 10Q.

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

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006, included herein have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in interim financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereon included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K.

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances, which could affect these material judgments, include, but without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and determining the fair value of securities and other financial instruments and assessing other than temporary impairments of securities.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Total assets increased by $25.6 million, from $770.9 million at December 31, 2006, to $796.5 million at September 30, 2007. Securities available for sale decreased from $183.3 million at December 31, 2006, to $139.5 million at September 30, 2007. Federal funds sold increased from $3.3 million at December 31, 2006, to $11.6 million at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, the Company sold securities with a market value of $41.7 million to customers and others under a repurchase agreement compared to a balance of $21.2 million at December 31, 2006.

At September 30, 2007, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost of $17.9 million and had an estimated fair market value of $17.8 million, and securities classified as “available for sale” had an estimated fair market value of $139.5 million. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB), the Company is required to purchase stock based on the Company’s usage of FHLB services. At September 30, 2007, the Company owned $3.8 million (at cost) of FHLB stock.

The loan portfolio increased $63.1 million during the nine-months ended September 30, 2007. Net loans totaled $558.1 million and $495.0 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2007, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 7.76%, compared to 7.06% for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.8 million at September 30, 2007, $4.5 million at December 31, 2006, and $4.3 million at September 30, 2006. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.86%, 0.90%, and 0.88% at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and September 30, 2006, respectively. Also at September 30, 2007, non-performing loans were $755,000, or 0.13% of total loans, compared to $863,000, or 0.17% of total loans, at December 31, 2006, and $797,000, or 0.16% of total loans, at September 30, 2006, respectively. Non-performing assets, which include other real estate owned and other assets owned, were $1.1 million, or 0.14% of total assets at September 30, 2007, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at December 31, 2006 and $1.1 million, or 0.15% of total assets, at September 30, 2006.

The Company’s annualized net charge off ratio for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, September 30, 2006, and the year ended December 31, 2006, was 0.09%, 0.17%, and 0.16%, respectively. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at September 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and September 30, 2006, was 641.1%, 518.0% and 545.7%, respectively.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the nine-month periods ended:

Ratio of net charge offs to average outstanding loans during the period

     0.09 %     0.17 %
                

Various factors are considered in determining the necessary allowance for loan losses, including the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, historical loss experience, delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions.

Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required or that losses on loans will not be incurred. The Company had $335,000 in real estate owned and $18,000 of other assets owned at September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007, the Company had $5.7 million in loans classified as special mention, $1.8 million classified as substandard and $127,000 classified as doubtful. At September 30, 2006, the Company had $893,000 in loans classified as special mention, $1.3 million classified as substandard and $547,000 classified as doubtful. Furthermore, the Office of Thrift Supervision requires a substandard classification for all non-investment grade instruments Therefore, the Company’s $2 million par value investment in Ford Motor Credit is classified as substandard.

At September 30, 2007, deposits increased $12.9 million from $569.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $582.3 million at September 30, 2007. The average cost of all deposits during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006 was 3.87%, 3.77%, and 3.28%, respectively.

Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively manage its funding cost while remaining competitive in its market area. Management’s current business plan focuses on growing the Company’s deposit base for non-interest bearing and demand deposit accounts and maintaining a lesser dependence on high cost time deposit accounts.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $3,155,000, compared to net income of $3,062,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Net Interest Income. The most significant source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Factors influencing net interest income include both the volume and changes in volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the amount of non-interest earning assets and non-interest bearing liabilities, and the level and changes of market interest rates. At September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006, the level of average interest bearing assets to interest bearing liabilities was 106.2% and 107.3%, respectively. In general, a financial company with higher ratio of interest bearing assets as compared to interest bearing liabilities is more likely to have a higher level of net interest income.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The table below summarizes the overall effect of changes to both interest rates and changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006. Yields on assets and cost of liabilities are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of interest earning assets and liabilities for the appropriate nine-month periods. Average balances for loans include loans classified as non-accrual, net of the allowance for loan losses. The table adjusts tax-free investment income by $156 for September 30, 2007, and $174 for September 30, 2006, for a tax equivalent rate. The table adjusts tax-free interest income on loans by $230 for September 30, 2007 and by $56 for September 30, 2006.

Interest Income. In the last twelve months, Federal Funds rates have been equal to or greater than interest rates on five and ten year treasury bonds. In September 2007, the Federal Reserve reduced the Fed Funds rate by 0.50%. The following day, most major financial institutions reduced their Prime Rate by 0.50%. The Company’s results of operations were not materially affected by this rate cut due to its timing. Management’s asset liability management model indicates that the Company’s interest rate risk profile is close to neutral given a 1% reduction in market rates. See Part I, Item 3 for additional information.

In the next three months, management estimates that the investment portfolio will provide approximately $16 million in liquidity. In 2008, the liquidity provided by the investment portfolio will decline to approximately $28 million annually from more than $50 million in 2007. If the Company’s loan portfolio continues to grow, management will have to rely on more expensive sources of liquidity to meet loan demand, further increasing the Company’s interest expense and reducing its net interest margin.

Interest Expense. Interest expense has also increased as a result of increases in both the volume of interest bearing liabilities and market rates. In the first nine months of 2007, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $75.9 million over the same period in 2006. The increase in deposit balances accounted for approximately 58% of the increase in interest expense on deposits. During 2007, maturing time deposits have typically renewed at higher rates than were previously being paid, resulting in the remaining 42% increase in interest expense on deposits.

In the last nine months, the Company has both decreased its borrowings from the FHLB and restructured additional FHLB borrowings in an attempt to reduce its interest expense on borrowed funds. Despite these effects, the weighted average cost of FHLB borrowings has increased from 4.41% at September 30, 2006, to 4.65% at September 30, 2007. The increase in the average cost of borrowed funds is the result of the maturity of borrowings initiated in 2003 and 2004 at much lower rates. The future borrowing needs of the Company will be determined by its ability to grow its loan portfolio and its ability to attract and retain desirable deposits.

Non-Interest Income. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, non-interest income increased to $5.4 million from $4.0 million. Increases in both service charge income and merchant card income are the direct result of an increase in the number of transaction accounts from both organic growth and the acquisition of retail offices in middle Tennessee. The Company also has experienced improved operating results from its financial services divisions. The Company, along with most financial institutions, is relying more heavily on non-interest income as a primary source of income. The continued growth of non-interest income is dependent on the growth of transaction deposit accounts as well as the development of new products to improve the Company’s market share in its current markets.

Non-Interest Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by approximately $3.7 million as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase is the result of the acquisition of four offices and the addition of four new offices in the last twelve months. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the Company’s compensation expense increased $2.1 million due to increased staffing levels. The increase in the Company’s operating expenses is the result of its desire to enter new markets. The Company’s newest market is Clarksville, Tennessee. Clarksville has been recognized by several national publications as a top 20 market for growth. The Company recently opened its third retail banking office in Clarksville and currently has one retail banking office under construction in Murray, Kentucky. The Company believes that these new markets provide a greater level of growth potential. The Company must strive to be an active participant in those markets within its geographic region that provide the highest opportunities for growth.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company determined that $702,000 of provision for loan loss expense was necessary for the nine month period ending September 30, 2007 as compared to $729,000 for the same period in 2006.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was 29.1%, compared to 29.9% for the same period in 2006. The reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate is the result of an increase in the outstanding balances of tax-exempt loans.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Net Income. Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 was $1,025,000 compared to net income of $1,012,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income increased by approximately $356,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. This increase was the result of higher average loan and deposit balances resulting from the Company’s opening of additional offices in higher growth markets. During the same period, the yield on interest earning assets increased by 0.51%, helping to offset a 0.39% increase in the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s net interest margin and net yield on earning assets improved 0.12% and 0.10%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2006.

Average Balances, Yields and Interest Expenses. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006. Dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, derives such yields and cost for the periods presented. During the periods indicated, non-accruing loans are included in the loan category.

For the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the table adjusts tax-free investment income by $54 for a tax equivalent rate. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, the table adjusts interest income on loans by $80 and $18, respectively, for a tax equivalent rate.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $1.1 million, to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was attributable to a higher cost of funding interest-bearing deposits and borrowings as well as higher balances of interest bearing deposits. The Company’s market for deposits remains competitive and additional increases are likely despite the cash flow provided by the investment portfolio. Interest expense is strongly influenced by both loan demand and the maturity of customer time deposits, discussed further in the liquidity section of this report.

Non-Interest Income. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, non-interest income increased by $170,000 as compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. Income from service charges and merchant charge income increased slightly as compared to the same period last year. Income from the Company’s financial services divisions increased by $105,000 due to the full integration of Heritage Mortgage Services and improved results from Heritage Solutions.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was an increase in total non-interest expenses of approximately $610,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Compensation expense increased approximately $380,000 due to increases in staffing levels required by the addition of four retail offices. During the same period, the addition of retail locations resulted in occupancy expenses increasing by approximately $210,000.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank determined that an additional $224,000 and $312,000 of provision for loan losses was required for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 28.6%, compared to 29.2% for the same period in 2006. The decrease in the Company’s tax rate is due to a higher level of municipal loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has no business other than that of the Bank. Management believes that dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for its operations and liquidity needs. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not have a need for additional funds in the future. The Bank is subject to certain regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company. The primary regulators of the Bank and the Company are the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from maturing investment securities and the net conversion proceeds received by it. The principal uses of funds by the Bank include the origination of mortgage and consumer loans and the purchase of investment securities.

The Bank must satisfy three capital standards: a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 2007, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank’s capital compliance at September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2007, the Bank had non-cancelable purchase obligations incurred in connection with the construction and purchase of new retail locations of approximately $69,000. Management believes that the Bank's sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. At September 30, 2007, time deposits which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from September 30, 2007 totaled $239.9 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The Company’s total time deposit balance is $373.6 million and has a weighted average cost of 4.70%.

At September 30, 2007, the Company has outstanding borrowings of $102.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati with maturities ranging from four months to ten years. These borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreement pledging the Company’s 1-4 family first mortgages and non-residential real estate. At September 30, 2007, the Company has approximately $163.2 million in one to four family first mortgages and $115.4 million in non-residential real estate that are eligible to be pledged under this agreement.

The Company also utilizes its borrowing base with the FHLB to issue letters of credit to local municipal organizations for the purpose of providing collateral to municipal funds deposited into Heritage Bank. At September 30, 2007, the FHLB has issued a total of $33.5 million in letters of credit for the benefit of municipal depositors of Heritage Bank, none of which had been advanced. The table below is a complete list of the Company’s borrowings from the FHLB.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Statement No. 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from the host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 155, as applicable, beginning in 2007. The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In March 2006, SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, was issued. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 (1) requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset; (2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured a fair value; (3) if practicable, it permits an entity to chose either the amortization or fair value method following subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; (4) and at its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, provided that the servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicing Company elects to be subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 was effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). Fin 48 requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position, taken or expected to be taken, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audited based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files consolidated federal and multi-state income tax returns. With few exceptions, we are not subject to federal income tax examinations for taxable periods prior to 2003, or state examinations prior to 2002. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most economical market on the measurement date. SFAS is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for the year beginning January 1, 2008. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option Statement for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an individual basis. Future changes in the fair value of these financial instruments would be recognized on the current period’s statement of income while establishing additional disclosure requirements for these financial statements. The stated objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in the reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. FASB No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity made the choice in the first 120 days of that physical year and also elects to apply the provisions of FASB No. 157. The Company has chosen not to utilize the option of early adoption of FASB No. 159. The Company has not determined whether the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since year-end. The Company is unable to predict future changes in market rates and their impact on the Company’s profitability. However, the Company models its balance sheet and income statement in an effort to manage its interest rate risk.

The Company’s analysis of interest rate risk assumes parallel shifts in interest rates (rates rising uniformly over the entire spectrum of the interest rate curve). At September 30, 2007, the Company’s analysis of the change in net interest income over the next twelve months resulting from changes in interest rates is as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

     Down 2%     Down 1%     Up 1%    Up 2%  

Net Interest Income

   $ (988 )   $ (185 )   $ 6    $ (375 )

The effects of rising interest rates are discussed throughout Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Actual results for the year ended December 31, 2007 will differ from simulations due to timing, magnitude, and the frequency of interest rate changes, market conditions, management strategies, and the timing of the Company’s cash receipts and disbursements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

Effective in 2007, the Company will become subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management is currently establishing policies and procedures to assess and report on internal control over financial reporting, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
