NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited.  In the opinion of the management of North Central Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly these consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements.  The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expense during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other-than temporary declines in the fair value of securities, and fair value measurements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting policy for investments in certificates of deposit:  Investments in certificates of deposit mature within twenty-four months and are carried at cost.

2.           EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Income (loss) available to common stockholders is net income (loss) less preferred stock dividends and accretion of discount on preferred stock, treated as preferred stock dividends.  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and converted into common stock and the Company’s outstanding restricted stock was vested.  The dilutive effect is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes all outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised.  The incremental shares issuable upon exercise of the stock options and warrants, to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculation.  The calculation of earnings (loss) per common share and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is presented below.

1For the three months ending June 30, 2010, options to purchase 65,200 shares of common stock, 3,500 shares of restricted stock and 99,157 shares of common stock warrants were not dilutive due to a net loss for the quarter.

2For the three and six months ending June 30, 2009, the stock options to purchase 67,400 shares of common stock were not dilutive due to the exercise price of the options exceeding the average closing price of the Company's common stock.

3For the six months ending June 30, 2010, the stock options to purchase 65,200 shares of common stock were not dilutive due to the exercise price of the options exceeding the average closing price of the Company's common stock.

4For the three and six months ending June 30, 2009, the common stock warrants were not dilutive due to the exercise price of the warrant exceeding the average closing price of the Company stock.

The unrealized losses for the above investment securities are generally due to changes in interest rates and, as such, are considered to be temporary by the Company.  In addition, the Company does not have the intent to sell these investment securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2010 by contractual maturity is shown below.  Certain securities have call features, which allow the issuer to call the security prior to maturity.  Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations because the mortgage underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties.  Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary:

	Debt Securities Available-for-Sale

4.           OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on other than temporary impairment (OTTI), credit-related losses on debt securities with OTTI are recorded in current earnings, while the noncredit-related portion of the reduction in fair value is recorded in other comprehensive income.  The Company’s component of other comprehensive income consists of the unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale investment securities which are considered temporary in nature.

The components of other comprehensive income, presented net of taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, are as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,

5.           IMPAIRED LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payment of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  The following is a summary of impaired loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

6.           FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures.  The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at June 30, 2010.  The Company’s securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as other real estate owned and impaired loans.  These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.  These levels are:

1. Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

2. Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

3. Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.  The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

At December 31, 2009, a portion of the securities available-for-sale portfolio consisted of an equity security of a mortgage bond mutual fund investment.  The fair value used by the Company represents quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs).  This security was sold during the first quarter of 2010.

The remaining securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, government bonds, and municipal bond investments where fair value are obtained from an independent pricing service.  The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans or discounted cash flows and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable.  Such collateral’s fair value is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs.  Subsequently it is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Fair value is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices.  Estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

Fair Value Disclosures

Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.  The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Cash and due from banks:  The carrying amount of cash and due from banks represents the fair value.

Investments in certificates of deposit:  The fair value of investments in certificates of deposit is  estimated based on discounted cash flows using current market interest rates.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock:  The fair value of this untraded stock is estimated at its carrying  value because the Company is able to redeem the stock with the Federal Home Loan Bank at par  value.

12

Loans held for sale:  Fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold on the secondary market.

Loans:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have experienced no significant change in  credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for all other loans are estimated based  on discounted cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to  borrowers with similar credit quality.

Deposits:  Fair values disclosed for demand, NOW, savings and money market savings deposits equal  their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand.  Fair values for certificates of  deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently  being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowed funds:  The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated based on discounted cash flows  using currently available borrowing rates.

Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The fair values of both accrued interest receivable and  payable are their carrying amounts.

Commitments to extend credit:  The fair values of commitments to extend credit are based on fees  currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the  agreements and creditworthiness of the counterparties.  At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the  carrying amount and fair value of the commitments were not significant.

7.           OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is generally defined as a component of a business for which discrete financial information is available and whose results are reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker.  The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments:  a traditional banking segment and a nonbank segment.  The traditional banking segment consists of the Company’s banking subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa (the “Bank”), and the holding company.  The Bank operates as a federal savings bank providing deposit, loan and other related products to individuals and small businesses, primarily in the communities where their offices are located.  The nonbank segment, which is set forth under the caption “All Others” below, consists of the operations of the subsidiaries under the Bank, and includes real estate abstracting services, insurance and investment services, and ownership of low-income housing tax credit apartment complexes.

Transactions between affiliates, the resulting revenues of which are shown in the inter-segment revenue category, are conducted at market prices that would be paid if the companies were not affiliates.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.  The Update expands disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Existing disclosure guidance is amended to require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the Update requires an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. The disclosures that are required as of the end of a reporting period are effective for the Company at December 31, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

14

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance on Accounting for Transfers of Financial Asset, to improve the reporting for the transfers of financial assets resulting from (1) practices that have developed that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of prior FASB guidance and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors.  The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance requiring increased fair value disclosures.  There are two components to the increased disclosure requirements set forth in the update:  (1) a description of, as well as the disclosure of, the dollar amount of transfers in or out of level one or level two (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable input (level 2), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, gross amounts shall be disclosed as opposed to a single net figure).  Increased disclosures regarding the transfer in/out of level one and two are required for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009.  The adoption of this portion of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Increased disclosures regarding the level three fair value reconciliation are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this portion of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10.           RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity, to be consistent with the current period classification.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Bank, that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  These factors include changes in general, economic, market, legislative and regulatory conditions, and the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company’s operations and investments.  The Company’s actual results may differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly announce future events or developments that may affect the forward-looking financial statements contained herein.

Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide a summary of the items management focuses on when evaluating the condition of the Company and its success in implementing its business and shareholder value strategies. The Company’s business strategy is to operate the Bank as a well-capitalized, profitable and independent community oriented savings bank.  The Company’s shareholder value strategy has three major themes: (1) enhancing shareholders’ value; (2) making its banking franchise more valuable; and (3) efficiently utilizing its capital.

Management believes the following were important factors in the Company’s performance during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010:

• During the first half of 2010, the economy began to show signs of recovery, as evidenced by an increase in consumer spending and stabilization of the labor market, the housing sector, and financial markets.  However, unemployment levels remained elevated, real estate values remained depressed and demand for housing was weak, due to distressed sales and tightened lending standards.

15

• Loans amounted to $362.2 million and $383.2 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The loan portfolio decreased 5.47% during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decline in the loan portfolio is primarily due to the decrease in loan volume due to a weakening of loan demand as payments and repayments exceeded originations in most loan categories and the Company’s curtailment of out of state lending.

• Non-performing loans decreased $833,000 from $14.3 million at December 31, 2009 to $13.5 million at June 30, 2010.  The balance of non-performing loans continues to remain at historically high levels due to the continued elevated level of unemployment coupled with the decline in real estate values, particularly in some of the states in which we have purchased loans.  The Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.6 million during the second quarter of 2010 and an aggregate of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, due to increases in certain factors in our general valuation allowance model and specific impairments, both primarily related to nonresidential commercial real estate and land and land development loans.

• The Company has taken significant steps to reduce the risk of additional loan losses.  Specifically, a senior credit administration position was added in late 2009 to actively manage and monitor asset quality and problem loans.  The Company continues to monitor its loan portfolio with the objective of minimizing defaults or write-downs.  Despite these actions, the possibility of additional losses can not be eliminated.  The Board of Directors and all employees continue to work hard to make the best of these continuing challenging conditions.

• Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $15.3 million for the six month ended June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the Company’s promotion F1Rst Perks, a new transaction account product offering.

• The Company continues its focus on earnings through management of net interest margin, successfully increasing the margin to 3.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from 3.31% from the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

• Capital remains strong, with stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets increasing to 10.76% at June 30, 2010 from 10.61% at December 31, 2009.  The Bank continues to be considered “well capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements with a total risk based capital ratio of 15.7% at June 30, 2010.

• The Company has taken steps to increase liquidity with the investment of funds in securities available for sale and investments in certificates of deposit.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

On July 21, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act, into law.  Among other things, the Act dramatically impacts the rules governing the provision of consumer financial products and services, and implementation of the Act will require new mandatory and discretionary rulemakings by numerous federal regulatory agencies over the next several years.  The new law significantly affects the operations of thrifts and their holding companies as, among other things, the Act: (1) abolishes our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), effective 90 days after the transfer of the OTS’s supervisory and other functions to the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”); (2) creates the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, a new independent consumer watchdog agency housed within the FRB that will have primary rulemaking authority with respect to all federal consumer financial laws; (3) requires that formal capital requirements be imposed on savings and loan holding companies generally commencing July 2015; (4) codifies the “source of strength” doctrine for all depository institution holding companies; (5) grants to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and the FRB broad new powers to seize, close and wind down “too big to fail” financial (including non-bank) institutions in an orderly fashion; (6) establishes a new Financial Stability Oversight Council that is charged with identifying and responding to emerging risks throughout the financial system, composed primarily of federal financial services regulators and chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury Department; (7) adopts new standards and rules for the mortgage industry; (8) adopts new bank, thrift and holding company regulation; (9) permanently increases the standard maximum deposit insurance limit to $250,000 per depositor, per institution for each account ownership category; (10) temporarily provides for unlimited deposit insurance coverage for “noninterest-bearing transaction accounts;” (11) repeals the long-standing statutory prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits; (12) adopts new federal regulation of the derivatives market; (13) adopts the so-called Volcker Rule, substantially restricting proprietary trading by depository institutions and their holding companies; (14) imposes requirements for “funeral plans” by large, complex financial companies; (15) establishes new regulation of the asset securitization market through “skin in the game” and enhanced disclosure requirements; (16) establishes new regulation of interchange fees; (17) establishes new and enhanced compensation and corporate governance oversight for the financial services industry; (18) provides enhanced oversight of municipal securities; (19) provides a specific framework for payment, clearing and settlement regulation; (20) tasks the federal banking agencies with adopting new and enhanced capital standards for all depository institutions; and (21) significantly narrows the scope of federal preemption for national banks and federal thrifts.

16

We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the Act on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and expect that some provisions of the Act may have adverse effects on us, such as the cost of complying with the numerous new regulations and reporting requirements mandated by the Act, a potential increase in competition for deposits resulting from the rise in cost of funding using non-deposit liabilities which will now be subject to FDIC assessments and the potential loss of interchange fee income from debit and credit card transactions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the disclosures included elsewhere in this report, are based on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The financial information contained in these statements is, for the most part, based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.  However, the preparation of these statements requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective estimates and judgments, management has identified its most critical accounting policies to be those related to the allowance for loan losses and asset impairment judgments.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The Company has policies and procedures for evaluating the overall credit quality of its loan portfolio, including timely identification of potential problem credits.  On a quarterly basis, management reviews the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, incorporating a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative.  Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, known information about individual loans and other factors.  Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s market area and the trends of those economic conditions.  To the extent that actual results differ from forecasts and management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

Asset impairment judgments include evaluating the decline in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost.  Declines in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating OTTI 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 of the Company to not sell the security and whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased $2.9 million, or 0.6%, to $452.1 million at June 30, 2010, from $455.0 million at December 31, 2009.  The decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents, offset in part by an increase in securities available-for-sale and investments in certificates of deposits.  The increase in investments in certificates of deposits was due to the purchase of $12.0 million of certificates of deposit of other financial institutions during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in securities available-for-sale was primarily due to the purchase of $19.5 million of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, offset in part by payments, maturities and the sale of securities in the 2010 period.  The increases in securities available for sale and investments in certificates of deposit were primarily funded by loan repayments that exceeded loan originations and increases in deposits.

Net loans receivable decreased by $23.4 million, or 6.2%, to $351.5 million at June 30, 2010, from $374.9 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to payments and prepayments of $47.2 million and loan sales of $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. These payments, prepayments, and loan sales were offset in part by the origination of $27.4 million of first mortgage loans primarily secured by one-to-four family residences and commercial real estate, and the origination of $12.9 million of consumer loans during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company generally sells all fixed-rate residential loans originated with maturities of 15 years or more in the secondary mortgage market in order to reduce interest rate risk.

At June 30, 2010, net loans consisted of (i) $144.8 million of one-to-four family real estate representing a decrease of $7.2 million from December 31, 2009, (ii) $79.2 million of nonresidential commercial real estate loans representing a decrease of $6.4 million from December 31, 2009, (iii) $56.8 million of multi-family real estate loans representing a decrease of $6.1 million from December 31, 2009, and (iv) $70.7 million of consumer loans representing a decrease of $3.6 million from December 31, 2009.  The decrease in the loan portfolio was primarily due to general decreases in demand for new loans and the Company’s curtailment of out of state lending.  Future opportunities for out of state lending for commercial real estate and multifamily real estate may be considered by the Company on a limited basis.

At June 30, 2010, the Company’s loan portfolio included $100.2 million of loans secured by out of state properties, compared to $111.8 million at December 31, 2009.  These loans represented 27.7% of the Company’s total loan portfolio at June 30, 2010 compared to 29.2% at December 31, 2009 and are primarily multifamily and commercial real estate loans.  There were no originations or purchase of loans secured by out of state properties during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The following table provides information regarding nonaccrual loans and nonperforming assets.

The allowance for loan loss was $9.0 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $7.2 million at December 31, 2009.  The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 was 2.5% of loans and 66.5% of nonperforming loans, compared to 1.9% of loans and 50.0% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2009, and 1.4% of loans and 52.8% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009.  Additions to the allowance for loan loss in the six months ended June 30, 2010 were due to the continued depressed economic conditions, downgrades in internal risk ratings, primarily in certain nonresidential commercial real estate and land and land development loans, and reductions in appraised values.  Deterioration in collateral values supporting two out of state impaired real estate development loans indicated by updated appraisals contributed approximately $1.6 million to the provision in the first six months of 2010.  Nonperforming loans were $13.5 million, or 3.73%, of total loans at June 30, 2010, compared to $14.4 million, or 3.75%, of total loans at December 31, 2009, and $10.8 million, or 2.65%, of total loans at June 30, 2009. Foreclosed real estate increased to $2.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $1.7 at December 31, 2009.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s classified assets which include nonperforming loans, impaired loans and foreclosed real estate.  The increase in classified assets primarily relate to nonresidential commercial real estate loans and commercial construction and land development loans.

	June 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
	(Dollars in thousands)
Substandard assets	$	26,560	$	21,224
Doubtful assets		4,987		3,029
Loss assets		6		129
Total classified assets	$	31,553	$	24,382

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of June 30, 2010.  While management estimates loan losses using the best available information, such as independent appraisals for significant collateral properties, no assurance can be made that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions, further information obtained regarding problem loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of management’s control.

Deposits increased $9.7 million, or 2.9%, to $344.5 million at June 30, 2010, from $334.8 million at December 31, 2009, primarily reflecting increases in interest bearing demand deposits, savings account and noninterest bearing balances of $15.3 million, $1.6 million and $300,000, respectively, offset in part by decreases in money market and certificates of deposits balances of $300,000, and $7.2 million, respectively.  Interest bearing demand deposits increased primarily due to the Company’s promotion of F1Rst Perks which is a new deposit account introduced in late 2009 that offers a higher interest rate based on certain transactional activity.  Borrowings, primarily FHLB advances, decreased $12.0 million, or 18.0%, to $54.5 million at June 30, 2010, from $66.5 million at December 31, 2009.  This decrease was due to the normal repayment of borrowings due to maturities which were not replaced because of growth in deposits and the decline in demand for new loans.

19

Total stockholders’ equity increased $349,000, or 0.7%, to $48.6 million at June 30, 2010, from $48.3 million at December 31, 2009, primarily due to earnings for the 2010 period, offset in part by dividends paid to stockholders.

Definitions of ratios:

Return on assets - annualized net income divided by average assets.

Return on equity - annualized net income divided by average stockholders equity.

Efficiency ratio - noninterest expense divided by the sum of noninterest income plus net interest income.

Net Income (Loss).  Net income (loss) decreased by $1.0 million to a net loss of ($129,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income of $894,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses, a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense.

Net income decreased by $1.2 million to $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in provision for loan losses and decreases in noninterest income, offset in part by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income.The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s net interest income and average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.  Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.  For purposes of this table, average balances were computed on a monthly basis.

Fluctuations in net interest income can result from the combination of changes in the balances of asset and liability categories and changes in interest rates.  Interest rates earned and paid are also affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, and by competitive factors, government policies, and the actions of regulatory authorities.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $18,000, or 0.5%, to $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest rate spread (i.e., the difference in the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities) and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, offset in part by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets.  The interest rate spread increased to 3.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from 3.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in interest rate spread reflects a decrease in cost of funds, offset in part by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $386,000, or 5.5%, to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest rate spread and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, offset in part by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets.  The interest rate spread increased to 3.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase in interest rate spread reflects a decrease in cost of funds, offset in part by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.

Interest Income.  Interest income decreased by $693,000, or 11.0%, to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $6.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Interest income decreased by $1.4 million, or 10.8%, to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $12.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in interest income in both periods was due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.  The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to a decrease in market rates on first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family real estate, commercial real estate, and multifamily residences and consumer loans and securities available-for-sale.  The decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets primarily reflects decreases in the average balances of first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family real estate and commercial real estate and consumer loans, offset in part by an increase in the average balance of multifamily residences, securities available-for-sale, investments in certificates of deposit and interest-bearing cash.  The decrease in the average balance of first mortgage loans was derived from payments, prepayments, and sales of loans offset in part by the origination of first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family real estate and commercial real estate.  The increase in the average balance of securities available-for-sale was primarily due to the purchases of securities available-for-sale, offset in part by payments, maturities, and sale of securities.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased by $711,000, or 26.6%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Interest expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 30.6%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in interest expense in both periods was due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities primarily reflects a decrease in borrowed funds, money market and certificates of deposit, offset in part by an increase in interest bearing demand deposits and savings account balances.  The decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds was primarily due to normal repayments of borrowings due to maturities.  The average cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities decreased primarily due to a decrease in market rates for certificates of deposit and the maturity of higher cost borrowed funds.

Provision for Loan Losses.The Company establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss experience, a review of classified loans, a realistic determination of value and adequacy of underlying collateral, levels and trends of loan categories, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Company’s portfolio, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio.  The Company’s provision for loan losses was $1.6 million and $610,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing an increase of $1.0 million, or 164%.  The Company’s provision for loan losses was $2.4 million and $770,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing an increase of $1.6 million, or 213%.  The increase in provision for loan losses in both periods was primarily a result of continuing challenging economic conditions negatively impacting the construction and real estate development, commercial real estate, and consumer sectors.  Deterioration in collateral values supporting two out of state impaired real estate development loans indicated by updated appraisals contributed approximately $1.6 million to the provision for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Total noninterest income decreased by $543,000, or 22.5%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Total noninterest income decreased by $842,000, or 19.2%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to decreases in mortgage banking income, loan prepayment fees, abstract fees, and other income, offset in part by an increase in fees and service charges.  Mortgage banking income decreased due to a decrease in demand for loans originated for the secondary market.  Abstract fees also decreased due to the decline in mortgage loan demand.  Other income, decreased primarily due to a decrease in the volume of sales of insurance and annuities and an increase in net losses and expenses related to foreclosed real estate.  Fees and service charges increased primarily due to an increase in interchange fees associated with demand deposit accounts, offset by a decrease in overdraft fees.

Securities Gains (Losses).   There were no sales of securities for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Gross security gains from the sales of securities of $7,652 were realized for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Gross security (losses) from the sales of securities of ($9,602) and ($19,944) were realized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Other than temporary impairments recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were related to a mortgage bond mutual fund investment.  No other than temporary impairments were recognized in 2010.  Realized losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and realized gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily relate to the sales of the mortgage bond mutual fund investment.

Total noninterest expense increased by $167,000, or 4.1%, to $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, from $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  Total noninterest expense decreased by $135,000, or 1.7%, to $8.0 million for the six month ended June 30, 2010, from $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Compensation and employee benefits increased due to an increase in pension plan and insurance expense for employees.  The increase in premises and equipment was primarily due to increases in information technology enhancements.  Other expenses increased primarily due to impairments on foreclosed real estate.  The impairment on foreclosed real estate was primarily a result of further deterioration on out of state foreclosed real estate values indicated by updated appraisals.  FDIC insurance decreased due to the FDIC special assessment of $210,000 assessed in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There have been no FDIC special assessments in 2010.  Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included nonrecurring consulting fees.  Professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include an increase in legal fees associated with loan collection and foreclosed real estate.

Income Taxes.  Provision for income taxes decreased by $637,000, or 139.6%, to ($180,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to $456,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in income taxes was primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes.

Provision for income taxes decreased by $734,000, or 90.6%, to $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $810,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The decrease in income taxes was primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for profitable business growth.  The Company’s principal source of funds is deposits.  Other sources include loan principal repayments, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, advances from the FHLB, and funds provided by operations.  Liquidity management is conducted on both a daily and a long-term basis.  Investments in liquid assets are adjusted based on expected loan demand, projected loan maturities and payments, expected deposit flows, and the objectives set by the Company’s asset-liability management policy.  The Company had liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) of $13.3 million as of June 30, 2010, compared with $21.8 million as of December 31, 2009. The Company had additional borrowing capacity available from the FHLB of approximately $90.7 million at June 30, 2010.  In addition, the Company had $5.0 million in borrowing capacity available through lines of credit with correspondent banks as of June 30, 2010.  The Company was not drawing on any of these lines of credit as of June 30, 2010.  Net cash from continuing operating activities contributed $1.5 million and $3.4 million to liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The combination of high levels of potentially liquid assets, cash flows from operations and additional borrowing capacity provide strong liquidity for the Company at June 30, 2010.

24

On January 9, 2009, the Company completed the issuance of $10.2 million of our Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant under the TARP-CPP. Although the Bank would have remained “well capitalized” without these funds, this new equity investment increased the capacity to support economic activity and growth in each of the communities served by the Bank through responsible lending.

On May 15, 2010, the Company paid an aggregate cash dividend of $127,500 on the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued to the United States Department of the Treasury.  On May 27, 2010, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock, payable on July 2, 2010 to stockholders of record as of June 11, 2010.  This payment totaled $13,000.

During the second quarter of 2010, macro-economic conditions and the challenging economic environment continued to impact liquidity and credit quality across the financial markets.  While the recession has impacted the local economies in which the Company operates and holds out-of-state real estate loans, our liquidity position and capital resources remain strong and the Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet its current funding commitments.

The Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) requires the Bank to meet minimum tangible, leverage (core) and risk-based capital requirements.  As of June 30, 2010, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements.  The Bank’s required and actual capital levels as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-statement of financial condition risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition.  The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.

25

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments reflected in its statement of financial condition. The Company requires collateral or other security, to support financial instruments with credit risks.

No material changes in the Company’s off-statement of financial condition arrangements occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In management’s opinion, there has been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative information about market risk provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Please see the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of the Company’s interest rate sensitivity analysis.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business.  Such routine legal proceedings, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the operations of the Bank and Company are currently unknown given that much of the details and substance of the new laws will be determined through agency rulemaking.  The compliance burden and impact on the operations and profitability of the Bank and Company with respect to the Dodd-Frank Act are currently unknown, as the Dodd-Frank Act delegates to various federal agencies the task of implementing its many provisions through regulation. Hundreds of new federal regulations, studies and reports addressing all of the major areas of the new law, including the regulation of federal savings associations and their holding companies, will be required, ensuring that federal rules and policies in this area will be further developing for months and years to come.  Based on the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and anticipated implementing regulations, it is highly likely that banks and thrifts as well as their holding companies will be subject to significantly increased regulation and compliance obligations.

26

The elimination of the OTS and transfer of the OTS’s supervisory and rulemaking functions to various federal banking agencies will change the way that the Bank and Company are regulated.  As the OTS is due to be abolished 90 days after transferring its supervisory and rulemaking functions to various federal agencies, both the Bank and Company will be transitioning to the jurisdiction of new primary federal regulators, which will change the way that the Bank and Company are regulated.  Specifically, the OTS’s supervisory and rulemaking functions (except for consumer protection) relating to all federal savings associations will be transferred to the OCC, while the OTS’s supervisory and rulemaking functions relating to savings and loan holding companies and their non-depository institution subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries of the federal savings association) will be transferred to the FRB.  While the OCC and FRB are directed to implement existing OTS regulations, orders, resolutions, determinations and agreements for thrifts and their holding companies under the Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”), the transition of supervisory functions from the OTS to the OCC (with respect to the Bank) and the FRB (with respect to the Company), could alter the operations of the Bank and Company so as to be more closely aligned with the OCC’s and FRB’s respective supervision of national banks and bank holding companies.  While the functions of the OTS pertaining to the Bank and Company will formally be transferred to the OCC and FRB in July 2011 (or else by January 2012 if a six-month extension is required), the Bank and the may see changes in the way they are supervised and examined sooner, and may experience operational challenges in the course of transition to their new regulators.

The new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“BCFP”) may reshape the consumer financial laws through rulemaking and enforcement of unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, which may directly impact the business operations of depository institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank.  The BCFP has broad rulemaking authority to administer and carry out the purposes and objectives of the “Federal consumer financial laws, and to prevent evasions thereof,” with respect to all financial institutions that offer financial products and services to consumers.  The BCFP is also authorized to prescribe rules applicable to any covered person or service provider identifying and prohibiting acts or practices that are “unfair, deceptive, or abusive” in connection with any transaction with a consumer for a consumer financial product or service, or the offering of a consumer financial product or service (“UDAP authority”).  The potential reach of the BCFP’s broad new rulemaking powers and UDAP authority on the operations of financial institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank is currently unknown.
