Item 2.06 Material Impairment.

On September 12, 2008, Service Bancorp, Inc. issued a press release announcing an expected significant write-down of investments in Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHMLC) preferred stock in the quarter ending September 30, 2008 as a result of the appointment of the Federal Housing Finance Agency as conservator over both of the entities. In determining the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment charge, the Company will value its FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock at the fair value of such securities as of the close of business on September 30, 2008. Based on the closing price of FNMA and FHMLC preferred stock on September 11, 2008, the registrant currently estimates that the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment will be approximately $6.5 million, exclusive of any tax benefit related to the impairment. The registrant also disclosed that it expects the other-than-temporary impairment charge will cause its sole subsidiary, Strata Bank, to no longer qualify as “well capitalized,” though the Bank will qualify as “adequately capitalized” as of September 30, 2008. A copy of that release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
