NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly Hopkinsville Federal Savings 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 conversion was consummated on February 6, 1998. The Company’s primary assets are 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 & Fall’s customer base is within the geographic footprint of the Bank.

The Bank operates a mortgage division, Heritage Mortgage Services, in Clarksville, Tennessee with agents located in several of its markets. The Bank has a financial services division, Heritage Solutions, with offices in Murray, Kentucky, Dickson, Tennessee and Pleasant View, Tennessee. Agents for Heritage Solutions travel throughout western Kentucky and middle Tennessee offering fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and brokerage services.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair representation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

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, 2008. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)	INCOME PER SHARE

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted income per share (“IPS”) computations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008. Diluted common shares arise from the potentially dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options outstanding.


	Three Month Periods Ended
	2009		2008
Basic IPS:
Net income available to common stockholders	$	1,012,000	$	1,492,000
Average common shares outstanding		3,576,791		3,568,556

Net income per share available to common stockholders, basic	$	0.28	$	0.42


Diluted IPS
Net income available to common stockholders	$	1,012,000	$	1,492,000
Average common shares outstanding		3,576,791		3,568,556
Dilutive effect of stock options		—		14,461

Average diluted shares outstanding		3,576,791		3,583,017

Net income per share available to common stockholders, diluted	$	0.28	$	0.42

(2)	STOCK COMPENSATION

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123R) using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006. For the three months ending March 31, 2008, the Company incurred $5,450 of additional compensation expense related to SFAS 123R. The Company did not incur any cost related to stock options for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as all stock options issued by the Company are fully vested.

The Company incurred compensation cost related to the HopFed Bancorp, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan of approximately $39,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively. The Company issued 532 shares of restricted stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company will incur total additional compensation cost of approximately $100,800 for the year ending December 31, 2009 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The Company will incur cost of approximately $99,100, $59,500 and $21,300 and $200 in total compensation cost for the years ending December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 related to restricted stock grants previously awarded. The compensation committee may make additional awards of restricted stock, thereby increasing the future expense related to this plan. In addition, award vesting may be accelerated due to certain events as outlined in the restricted stock award agreement. Any acceleration of vesting will change the timing of, but not the aggregate amount of, compensation expense incurred.

(3)	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 March 31, 2009, the Company has 55 securities with unrealized losses. Management believes these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates and not credit quality with the exception of $1 million (par value) in a Ford Motor Credit bond maturing October 28, 2009. On April 6, 2009, Ford announced that Ford and Ford Motor Credit would use $2.4 billion in cash plus 468 million shares of Ford common stock to reduce Ford’s outstanding automotive debt by $9.9 billion, or approximately 38% of the total debt outstanding at December 31, 2008. The elimination of this debt reduces Ford’s annual interest expense by $500 million based on current interest rates. The actions demonstrate Ford’s ability to use its liquidity to lower its cost of operations. The action is further evidence that Ford will continue to maintain an adequate level of liquidity through October of 2009. The carrying amount of securities available for sale and their estimated fair values at March 31, 2009 is as follows:


	March 31, 2009

At March 31, 2009, securities with a book value of approximately $63.5 million and a market value of approximately $64.8 million were pledged to various municipalities for deposits in excess of FDIC limits as required by law. In addition, securities with a book value of $43.5 million and a market value of $48.6 million are pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati has issued letters of credit in the Bank’s name totaling $41.8 million secured by the Bank’s loan portfolio to secure additional municipal deposits.

At March 31, 2009, securities with a book and market value of approximately $15.8 million were sold under agreements to repurchase from various customers. Furthermore, the Company has two wholesale repurchase agreements with third parties secured by investments with a combined book value of $17.2 million and a market value of $17.8 million. The first repurchase agreement in the amount of $6 million repurchase agreement and has a maturity of September 16, 2016 and is currently callable on a quarterly basis and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.36%. The second repurchase agreement, in the amount of $10 million, has a maturity of September 5, 2014, is callable quarterly beginning September 5, 2008 and has a fixed rate of interest of 4.28%.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable input and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

•

Level 1 is for assets and liabilities that management has obtained quoted prices (unadjusted for transaction cost) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•

Level 2 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 is for assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique that is widely used in the industry to value debt securities without exclusively on quoted prices for the individual securities in the Company’s portfolio but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Impaired loans are valued at the net present value of expected payments using the fair value of any assigned collateral.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The preferred stock has no stated maturity and is non-voting, other than having class voting rights on certain matters, and pays cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% thereafter.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 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 2008 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 March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Total assets increased by $23.5 million, from $967.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $991.1 million at March 31, 2009. Securities available for sale increased from $247.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $295.2 million at March 31, 2009. The Company does not have any federal funds sold at March 31, 2009 as compared to $16.1 million at December 31, 2008. The Company has chosen to maintain additional cash balances in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts due to both the very low earnings rate on overnight funds as well as the unlimited FDIC coverage available on non-interest demand deposit accounts. The Company’s holdings of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, at cost, increased from $4.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $4.3 million at March 31, 2009. Total FHLB borrowings declined $7.0 million, from $130.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $123.0 million at March 31, 2009. Total repurchase balances increased from $28.7 million at December 31, 2008 to $31.8 million at March 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost of $431,000 and $454,000, respectively and had an estimated fair market value of $437,000 and $455,000, respectively. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, securities classified as “available for sale” had an amortized book value of $290.7 million and $244.2 million, respectively.

The loan portfolio declined $7.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net loans totaled $620.9 million and $628.4 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 6.25%, 7.41% and 6.93% respectively. Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the loan portfolio by type of loan at March 31, 2009 and 2008. At March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than as disclosed below:

Less allowance for loan losses		(6,685	)				(4,862	)


Total loans	$	620,905				$	585,693

The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.7 million at March 31, 2009, $6.1 million at December 31, 2008 and $4.9 million at March 31, 2008. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.07% at March 31, 2009, 0.97% at December 31, 2008 and 0.82% at March 31, 2008. Also at March 31, 2009, non-performing loans were $6.9 million, or 1.10% of total loans, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at March 31, 2008 and $7.3 million, or 1.16% at December 31, 2008. The increase in non-performing loans in March 2009 as compared to March 2008 is largely the result of one residential home loan builder who filed bankruptcy in the third quarter of 2008. This relationship, with a current balance of approximately $6 million, is well secured with any anticipated losses currently reserved for in the Company’s allowance for loan loss account.

Non-performing assets, which include other real estate owned and other assets owned, were $7.9 million or 0.80% of total assets at March 31, 2009, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.20% of assets, at March 31, 2008 and $8.2 million, or 0.86% of assets at December 31, 2008.

The Company does not originate loans it considers sub-prime and is not aware of any exposure to the additional credit concerns associated with sub-prime lending in either the Company’s loan or investment portfolios. The Company does have a significant amount of construction and land development loans. Management reports to the Company’s Board of Directors on the status of the Company’s specific construction and development loans as well as the market trends in those markets in which the Company actively participates.

The Company’s annualized net charge off ratios for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.27%, 0.26% and 0.20%, respectively. The ratios of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at March 31, 2009, March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008 were 97.2%, 400.5% and 83.0%, respectively. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the three-month periods ended:

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s analysis, performed on a quarterly basis. Various factors are considered, 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 its allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional allowances will not be required or that losses on loans will not be incurred.

A loan is considered to be impaired when management determines that it is possible that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The value of individually impaired loans is measured based on the present value of expected payments using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s impaired loans totaled $19.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s reserve for impaired loans totaled $1,029,000 and $731,000, respectively.

At March 31, 2009, the Company had allocated approximately $2.4 million of its allowance for loan loss account specifically for loans that are classified as watch or special mention. These loans are not considered impaired but are reserved for based on potential weaknesses or higher levels of perceived risk due to the various factors, including unpredictable cash flows, a business operating in a challenging industry, or a new and significant relationship.

At March 31, 2009, deposits increased to $738.7 million from $713.0 million at December 31, 2008. The brokered deposits increased from $67.9 million at December 31, 2008 to $68.0 million at March 31, 2009. The average cost of all deposits during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009, March 31, 2008, and the year ended December 31, 2008 was 2.98%, 3.58%, and 3.26%, respectively. Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively manage its funding costs while remaining competitive in its market area.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Net Income. Net income available for common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1,012,000, compared to net income of $1,492,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decline in the Company’s net income available for common shareholders for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 is largely the result of the Company’s dividend accrual and accretion of warrant cost associated with the Company’s sale of $18.4 million in preferred stock to the United States Treasury under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company paid $161,000 related to the payment of a 5% preferred dividend and $27,000 related to the accretion on the value of the stock warrants issued.

Lower net income production was further influenced by higher operating expenses and higher provision for loan loss expense, which were partially offset by a higher level of net interest income and gains on the sale of securities. The Company increased its provision for loan loss expense as a result of management concerns about the continued weakness in the national economy and its potential effect on our local economy.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was $6.4 million, compared to $5.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to March 31, 2008 was largely due to a $123.9 million increase in the average balance of available for sale investments. The growth of the investment portfolio is the result of a strategy to increase interest earning assets through a mixture of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and increased deposit activity. This strategy was implemented to partially leverage the Company’s preferred stock issuance while providing additional income to offset the cost of the preferred stock and warrant issuance. As a result of this strategy, interest income on taxable investments increased by $1.6 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, an increase of 96%. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, income on tax exempt securities increased to $272,000 from $164,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. At the same time, the average yield on taxable securities and tax exempt securities have increased by 0.52% and 0.98%, respectively for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s interest income from loans receivable declined by approximately $1 million as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2008. This decline is the result of lower market interest rates, offsetting $37.9 million of average loan growth over the same period. The Company maintains approximately $327.7 million in loans tied to prime rate, currently at 3.25%. While new prime rate based loans originated by the Company include a 5% interest rate floor, the majority of the Company’s prime rate portfolio does not include interest rate floors. The Company’s loan portfolio includes approximately $138.8 in variable rate loans and securities indexed to the One Year United States Treasury (currently 0.46%) plus 3.00%. Single family loans indexed to the One Year Treasury do not have floors but have a 1% annual adjustment cap.

For the three-months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, the tax equivalent yield on total interest earning assets declined to 5.88% from 6.79%. The decline in net yields is the result of the reduction in yields on variable rate loans discussed above. This reduction in loan yields was partially offset by an increase in investment yields due to timely purchases in the fourth quarter of 2008 as credit markets seized, resulting in unique opportunities for those institutions with the liquidity and inclination to make investment purchases in a difficult market.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, the Company’s cost of interest bearing liabilities was 3.24% and 4.00%, respectively. The lower cost of interest bearing liabilities was the result of a lower short term interest rates as well as an increase in FHLB advances that were made at favorable rates.

In the three month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s deposit balances increased by approximately $66.3 million as management priced time deposits aggressively in response to the industry wide liquidity crisis. The deposits are scheduled to re-price beginning in August of 2009 and the Company anticipates that these deposits can be retained at a lower cost, providing cost savings to the Company.

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 three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008. 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 three-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 $122,000 for March 31, 2009, and $70,000 for March 31, 2008, for a tax equivalent rate using a cost of funds rate of 3.24% for March 31, 2009 and 4.00% for March 31, 2008. The table adjusts tax-free loan income by $42,000 for March 31, 2009 and $80,000 for March 31, 2008 for a tax equivalent rate using the same cost of funds rate:

Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s total interest income was $13.2 million as compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase primarily resulted from growth in the investment portfolio and helped to offset a sharp decline in the yields on loans due to lower market rates. The average balance of loans receivable increased $37.9 million to $618.7 million at March 31, 2009 from $580.8 million at March 31, 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the average tax equivalent yield on loans was 6.25% as compared to 7.41% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 106.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 108.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense declined approximately $220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The decline was attributable to lower market interest rates, offsetting a $139.3 million increase in the average balance of total interest bearing liabilities as compared to March 31, 2008. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits declined from 3.92% at March 31, 2008 to 3.24% at March 31, 2009. Over the same period, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $117.1 million, from $557.7 million at March 31, 2008 to $674.8 million at March 31, 2008 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) increased $27.5 million, from $96.6 million at March 31, 2008 to $124.1 million at March 31, 2009. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB decreased from 4.42% at March 31, 2008 to 3.34% at March 31, 2009. The average cost of all deposits declined from 3.58% at March 31, 2008 to 2.98% at March 31, 2009. The average balance of repurchase agreements declined from $36.8 million at March 31, 2008 to $31.5 million at March 31, 2009. The average cost of repurchase agreements declined from 3.58% at March 31, 2008 to 2.46% at March 31, 2009. The reduction in the cost of repurchase agreements is limited due to two long term agreements with third parties that are fixed. There agreements, totaling $16 million, have a weighted average cost of 4.31%.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Company determined that an additional $974,000 provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a $401,000 provision for loan loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in provision for loan loss expense is in response to management’s concerns about the economy as both the local and national unemployment rates continue to increase.

Non-Interest Income. There was a $45,000 decline in non-interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, service charge income was $924,000, a decrease of $143,000 over the same period in 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, income from financial services was $226,000, compared to $240,000 for the same period in 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company realized gains on the sale of investments totaling $658,000 as compared to $534,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. In 2009, the Company took advantage of narrowing agency spreads to selectively sell longer term agency securities.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $548,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared the same period in 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, compensation expense increased to $3.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 largely due to annual pay raises given on January 1, 2009. The only other operating expense that increased by more than $100,000 was other operation expenses, which included fees charged by the FDIC for deposit insurance. The Company’s expense for FDIC fees increased from $17,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $115,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The Company anticipates that the FDIC will continue to increase its quarterly assessments for deposit insurance. In addition, the Company anticipates that the FDIC will require all depository institutions to pay a special assessment equal to 0.10% to 0.20% of deposits at June 30, 2009 to provide additional reserves to the Bank Insurance Fund. The special assessment will be due September 30, 2009. We anticipate that the special assessment will cost the Company between $700,000 and $1.4 million. The Company’s cost associated with the FDIC’s special assessment, if approved by the FDIC, would increase the Company’s non-interest expense during the second and third quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 30.4%, compared to 30.5% for the same period in 2008.

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 current 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 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 Company estimates that its CMO and mortgage backed security portfolio will provide more than $30 million in cash flow over the remaining nine months of 2009. Additional cash flows from agency securities are highly dependent on market interest rates. However, management anticipates that approximately $15 million in agency securities will be called due to their one time call feature and relatively high coupon rate. This cash flow will be used to fund loan growth, reduce FHLB borrowings, and to replace more expensive deposits. 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 March 31, 2009, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

The table below presents certain information relating to the Company’s and Bank’s capital compliance at March 31, 2009:


	Company				Bank
	Amount		Percent		Amount		Bank
	(Dollars in Thousands)
Tangible Capital	$	81,669	8.31	%	$	75,450	7.74	%

Core Capital	$	81,669	8.31	%	$	75,450	7.74	%

Risk Based Capital	$	88,354	14.02	%	$	82,134	12.90	%

At March 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $4.5 million and undisbursed commitments on loans outstanding of $52.7 million. Management believes that the Bank’s sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. Certificates of deposits, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2009, totaled $312.1 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

At March 31, 2009, the Bank has outstanding borrowings of $123.0 million from the FHLB with maturities ranging from overnight borrowing to nine years. In 2009, the Company has $23 million of FHLB borrowings that will mature with a weighted average rate of 2.30%.

The Company’s FHLB borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreement pledging the Bank’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans and non-residential real estate loans. At March 31, 2009, the Bank has pledged all eligible 1-4 family first mortgages, home equity lines of credit and non-residential real estate loans that may be pledged under this agreement. A schedule of FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2009 is provided below:


Advance Type	Amount	Weighted Average Rate		Weighted Average Maturity
Fixed Rate	106,969,000	3.74	%	5.2 years

Variable Rate	16,000,000	1.03	%	0.9 years

At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $49.7 in additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB which includes an overnight line of credit in the amount of $30 million.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At March 31, 2009, the Company has the following off-balance sheet commitments:


	(Dollars in Thousands)
Standby letters of credit	$	2,232
Unused home equity lines of credit	$	32,035
Unused commercial lines of credit	$	11,257
Interest rate swap	$	(1,046	)

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of income or loss, expenditures, acquisitions, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans relating to services of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of revisions, which may be made to forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, (SAB 109). SAB 109 modifies how to apply generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. Prior to SAB 109, when companies measured the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan was excluded. Under SAB 109, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loans sold will be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value of earnings. SAB 109 is effective for the Company January 1, 2008. The Company’s adoption of SAB 109 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue provides guidance to help companies determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded in accordance with either SFAS No. 106-Employees’s Account for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions if, in substance, a post retirement benefit plan exist or Accounting Principles Board Opinion 12 if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract. EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract. EITF 06-10 was effective for the Company dated January 1, 2008. The Company’s adoption of this EITF did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141R Business Combinations. SFAS 141R clarified the definitions of both a business combination and a business. All business combinations will be accounted for under the purchase method. This standard defines the acquisition date as the only relevant date for recognition and measurement of the fair value of consideration paid. SFAS 141R requires the acquirer to expense all acquisition related cost. SFAS 141R defines the measurement period as the time after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may make adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date. This period cannot exceed one year, and any subsequent adjustments to the provisional amounts are done so retrospectively and require a restatement of prior period data. The provisions of this statement are effective for business combinations during fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. 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 Statement 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Company has determined that the adoption of FASB Statement No. 161 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSB 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has determined that the adoption of FSP No. 142-3 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The new standard becomes effective sixty days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411. SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since year-end. The Company’s income and the value of its assets are strongly influenced by changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe that material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk profile have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company’s model assumes an immediate change of interest rates, considered a severe test of interest rate sensitivity.

In general, a 1% increase in interest rates will result in a $100,000 reduction in net interest income due to numerous floors currently in place. A 2% increase in interest rates will result in a $70,000 increase in net interest income as market interest rates would exceed interest the majority of interest rate floors.

The actual results of the Company’s asset liability management analysis are highly dependent on the prepayment speed of mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The United States Treasury’s policy of purchasing longer dated Treasury bonds has the result of lowering mortgage loan rates, allowing more consumers to refinance their mortgages and pay-off their current mortgage, resulting in higher prepayment speeds on mortgage investment products.

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 ending December 31, 2009 will differ from simulations due to timing, magnitude, and the frequency or 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) under the Securities 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 15 d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

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 months ended March 31, 2009 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.

The Company is 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 controls over financial reporting. Additionally, it requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to report on management’s assessment as well as report on its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management has established policies and procedures to assess and report on internal controls, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls 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 March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
