The main activity of FFNM Agency is to collect the stream of income associated with the sale of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield override business to the Grotenhuis Group (as discussed further below).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, on February 27, 2009 First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc.  announced that it had sold the InsuranCenter of Alpena (“ICA”) for $1,635,000. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard 144 “Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002, the financial position and results of operations of ICA are “discontinued operations.”  For further information, please refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As a result of the transaction, the Company reduced its full-time employees by 14 positions, or 13% of the Company’s workforce.   The Company recorded a gain of approximately $57,000 upon the closing of the sale.  The Company retained the residual income stream associated with the April 2008 sale of its wholesale Blue Cross/Blue Shield override business to the Grotenhuis Group.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying value and fair value of $23,935,000 and $24,265,000, respectively, were pledged to secure certain deposit accounts,  FHLB advances and our line of credit at the Federal Reserve.
 
Gross proceeds from the sale of securities for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $10,354,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, resulting in gross gains of $497,000 and $1,000, respectively and gross losses of $0 and $0, respectively.
 
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 the Company restructured its investment portfolio by selling 16 bonds, mostly issued by  Freddie Mac (FHLMC) and Fannie Mae (FNMA).   Although these bonds have government guarantees, they are only implied guarantees, hence the bonds are not truly backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.   The bonds sold were replaced with GNMA bonds, which are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States government. By selling the municipal, FNMA and FHLMC bonds the Company was able to accomplish two things:
 
·  
Reduce its overall credit risk in the investment portfolio.
 
·  
Improve its risk-based capital position as bonds sold were 20% risk-weighted while the replacement bonds are 0% risk-weighted.
 
The Company concluded this move was prudent and necessary due to the following reasons:
 
·  
Because of the timing of the restructuring, the Company was able to capture some previously unrealized gains.
 
·  
The Company did forego a higher yield (approximately 10bps), but was able to minimize the yield loss by buying longer-term GNMA’s, which was possible because of the minimal level of interest-rate risk inherent in the Company’s balance sheet.

The unrealized losses on the securities held in the portfolio are not considered other than temporary  and have not been recognized into income. This decision is based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold any potentially impaired security until maturity. The performance of the security is based on the contractual terms of the agreement, the extent of the impairment and the financial condition and credit quality of the issuer. The decline in market value is considered temporary and a result of changes in interest rates and other market variables.

Note 5—DIVIDENDS
 
We suspended our quarterly dividend effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for earnings and funds to pay dividends on common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any reinstatement of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered by the Board of Directors.

Note 6—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised) “Shareholder Based Payments”, which requires that the grant-date fair value of awarded stock options be expensed over the requisite service period. The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 127,491 shares of common stock (adjusted for the exchange ratio applied in the Company’s 2005 stock offering and related second-step conversion). The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2006, permits the award of up to 242,740 shares of common stock of which the maximum number to be granted as Stock Options is 173,386 and the maximum that can be granted as Restricted Stock Awards is 69,354. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on five years of continual service and have ten year contractual terms. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,  no shares were awarded under the Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”).  Shares issued under the RRP and exercised pursuant to the exercise of the  stock option plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury stock.

Note 7 – COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, stand-by letters of credit, and commercial lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contracted amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.


At June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $32.2 million. These commitments included $10.7 million for permanent one-to-four family dwellings, $5.5 million for non-residential loans, $206,000 of undisbursed loan proceeds for construction of one-to-four family dwellings, $4.6 million of undisbursed lines of credit on home equity loans, $1.2  million of unused credit card lines, $7.5 million of unused commercial lines of credit, $837,000 of undisbursed loans for commercial construction, $5,000 of unused letters of credit and $1.7 million in unused Overdraft Protection.

Note 8 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s principal activities include banking and, prior to February 2009, the sale of insurance products through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, ICA. The Company sold the majority of the assets of ICA on February 27, 2009 (see Note 1). The Bank provides financial products including retail and commercial loans as well as retail and commercial deposits.  ICA received commissions from the sale of various insurance products including health, life, and property. The segments were determined based on the nature of the products provided to customers.
 
The financial information for each operating segment is reported on the basis used internally to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The allocations have been consistently applied for all periods presented.  Revenues and expenses between affiliates have been transacted at rates that unaffiliated parties would pay.  The only transaction between the segments related to a deposit on behalf of ICA included in the Bank. The interest income and interest expense for this transaction has been eliminated.  All other transactions were with external customers.  The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the segment’s financial condition and results of operations if they were independent entities.
 
As noted above, the majority of the assets of the Company’s segment, ICA, were sold on February 27, 2009; therefore no segment information is reported for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 or for the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

Note 9-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.
 
FASB ASC 820-10 – Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2010, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.
 
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.  These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.
 
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
 
Disclosures concerning assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include non-homogenous loans that are considered impaired and real estate owned. For impaired loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-10, the Company has estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs using discounted cash flow projections. Other Real Estate Owned consists of property received in full or partial satisfaction of a receivable. The Company utilizes independent appraisals or broker price opinions to estimate the fair value of these properties.

Impaired Loans. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on occasion, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established.  A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all of the principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan may not be collected.  Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.  In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned: At the time of acquisition, other real estate owned is recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property's new basis. Subsequent write-downs to reflect declines in value since the time of acquisition may occur from time to time and are recorded in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the property used at and subsequent to the time of acquisition is typically determined by a third party appraisal of the property (nonrecurring Level 3).
 
17


Mortgage Servicing Rights: Mortgage servicing rights represent the value associated with servicing residential mortgage loans. The value is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis which uses prepayment speed, interest rate, delinquency level and other assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management judgment. Adjustments are only made when the discounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. As such, the Company classifies mortgage servicing rights as nonrecurring Level 3.

Mortgage Loans Held For Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined through forward commitments which the Company enters to sell these loans to secondary market counterparties.  As such, the Company classifies mortgage loans held for sale as nonrecurring Level 2.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  FASB ASC 825-10 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.
 
Investment Securities Available for Sale- Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices.  The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
18

 
Investment Securities Held to Maturity. The Company does not record investment securities held to maturity at fair value on a recurring basis.  Therefore, when certain securities held to maturity were measured at fair value as discussed below, the Company’s municipal bonds classified as held to maturity are fair valued using a discount rate adjustment technique utilizing an imputed discount rate between current market interest rate spreads and market interest rate spreads at the approximate last date an active market existed for the these securities.  Relevant inputs to the model include market spread data in consideration of credit characteristics, collateral type, credit rating and other relevant features.  Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, requiring adjustments for factors such as prepayment speeds, liquidity risk, default rates, credit loss and the security’s credit rating.  In instances where market action is inactive or inputs to the valuation are more opaque, securities are classified as nonrecurring Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.  Therefore, when management determines the fair value of an impaired held to maturity security through utilization of this type of model, the Company records the impaired security as nonrecurring Level 3.

Loans Held for Sale - Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
 
Loans Receivable - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one- to four-family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial, and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
 
Deposit Liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
 
REPO Sweep Accounts - The fair values disclosed for REPO Sweeps are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).
 
Long-term Borrowings - The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Note 10 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.

Reserve for Credit Losses Disclosures: In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires companies to provide more information about the credit risks inherent in its loan and lease portfolios and how management considers those credit risks in determining the allowance for credit losses. A company would be required to disclose its accounting policies, the methods it uses to determine the components of the allowance for credit losses, and qualitative and quantitative information about the credit quality of its loan portfolio, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures would be required either by portfolio segment or class, based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. The guidance is effective for all financing receivables, including loans and trade accounts receivables. However, short-term trade accounts receivables, receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value, and debt securities are exempt from these disclosure requirements. For public companies, any period-end disclosure requirements are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Any disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. As this guidance affects only disclosures, the adoption of this guidance on December 31, 2010 for period-end disclosures and January 1, 2011 for intra-period activity is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
 
19

 
Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements: In January 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of fair value measurements by class (rather than by major category) of assets and liabilities; disclosure of transfers in or out of levels 1, 2, and 3; disclosure of activity in level 3 fair value measurements on a gross, rather than net, basis; and other disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. As this guidance affects only disclosures, the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2010 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the Company’s fair value disclosures.

PART Ι  -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2  -  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

OVERVIEW
 
The Company currently operates as a community-oriented financial institution that accepts deposits from the general public in the communities surrounding its 8 full-service banking centers. The deposited funds, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, are used by the Company to originate loans. The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of one-to-four family residential properties. The Company also originates commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans, automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and a variety of other consumer loans.
 
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $319,000, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to $42,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the year earlier period, an increase of $277,000.  Net income from continuing operations increased by $333,000 to $522,000, or $0.18 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $189,000, or $0.07 per share, for the same period ended June 30, 2009.

Total assets decreased by $6.6 million, or 2.8%, from $233.5 million as of December 31, 2009 to $227.0 million as of June 30, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.3 million while investment securities available for sale increased by $558,000, investment securities held to maturity decreased by $1.4 million and net loans receivable decreased $7.6 million during this time period. Total deposits decreased $273,000 from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010,  Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $6.4 million, notes payable decreased $631,000 and equity increased by $448,000.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
As of June 30, 2010, there have been no changes in the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial sections of its 2009 Annual Report. Management believes its critical accounting policies relate to the valuation of Company’s investment securities, allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets.
 
Management has determined that the valuation of deferred tax assets represented an additional critical accounting policy at June 30, 2010. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent differences between when a tax benefit or expense is recognized for financial reporting purposes and on our tax return. Deferred tax assets are periodically assessed for recoverability. The Company records a valuation allowance if it believes, based on available evidence, that it is “more likely than not” that the future tax assets recognized will not be realized before their expiration. The amount of the deferred tax asset recognized and considered realizable could be reduced if projected taxable income is not achieved due to various factors such as unfavorable business conditions. If projected taxable income is not expected to be achieved, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized in its future tax returns. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $2.9 million related to its deferred tax assets.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2010 AND DECEMBER 31, 2009

ASSETS:   Total assets decreased $6.6 million, or 2.8%, to $226.9 million at June 30, 2010 from $233.5 million at December 31, 2009.  Investment securities available for sale increased $558,000, or 1.7%, and investment securities held to maturity decreased by $1.4 million, or 34.5%, from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010 as we restructured our securities portfolio to reduce credit risk and improve our risk-weighted capital ratios.  Net loans receivable decreased $7.6 million, or 4.4% to $163.6 million at June 30, 2010 from $171.2 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in net loans was attributable primarily to shrinkage in each of our loan portfolios:  the residential mortgage loan portfolio shrunk by $4.3 million due to portfolio mortgage refinances which were sold into the secondary market wherever possible due to continued historically low market interest rates; the commercial loan portfolio shrunk by $2.6 million due to loan pay-offs and charge-offs;  and our consumer loan portfolio decreased $1.3 million due to slowed origination activity related to declining property values.

LIABILITIES:   Deposits decreased only slightly by $273,000 to $157.8 million at June 30, 2010 from $158.1 million at December 31, 2009. However, the composition of our deposits changed during the six-month period. Our liquid certificate of deposit product (from which customers can make a penalty-free withdrawal with seven days advance written notice) decreased by $8.3 million as we were not the market leader in rates on this product during this time period.  The decrease in our liquid certificate of deposit products was partially offset by increases of $2.4 million in traditional certificate of deposit accounts (which cannot be redeemed before maturity without penalty), $4.6 million in money market accounts, $200,000 in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and $834,000 in savings deposit accounts. Total FHLB advances decreased $6.4 million to $38.0 million at June 30, 2010 from $44.4 million at December 31, 2009 as we paid down advances primarily with funds from loan payments and loan payoffs. Also, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 we paid off the note payable due to the former owners of the InsuranCenter in the amount of $631,000.

EQUITY:   Stockholders’ equity increased $448,000 to $23.5 million at June 30, 2010 from $23.1 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to net income for the six-month period of $522,000. The decrease of $189,000 in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities was partially offset by changes in unearned compensation related to vesting of previously granted employee stock options and awards.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

General: Net income from continuing operations increased by $277,000 to net income of $319,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $42,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2009.

Interest Income:   Interest income decreased to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.2 million for the year earlier period, due to two factors: a decrease of $15.5 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $212.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 from $228.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 and a decrease of 16 basis points in the average yield on these assets period over period.

Interest Expense:   Interest expense decreased to $900,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in interest expense for the three month period was due primarily to a decrease in our cost of funds related to certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. The average cost of our certificates of deposit decreased from 3.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 2.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as higher costing deposits matured and either left the Bank as we were not a market leader in rates or were re-priced at a lower rate. In addition, the cost of our FHLB advances decreased 106 basis points from 4.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to 2.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to decreases in market interest rates.

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income increased to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 from $1.9 million for the same period in 2009.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $15.5 million, or 6.8% when compared to the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $7.0 million, or 3.5%, to $191.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $198.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.43% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 from 5.62% for the same period ended in 2009 and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.88% from 2.64% for the  three-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The net interest margin increased to 3.73% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 from 3.32% for same period in 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses:   The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibiity of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.   The provision for loan losses amounted to $595,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 and $252,000 for the comparable period in 2009.  The increase related mainly to one previously identified substandard classified commercial credit for which we received updated information which indicated that an additional reserve of $751,000 was required, partially offset by the movement of a large commercial loan from our higher-risk construction pool to the general commercial loan pool as the construction phase was successfully completed.

Non Interest Income: Non interest income increased to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $764,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to a $447,000 gain on sale of investments as a result of a restructuring of the investment portfolio in an effort to reduce credit risk (see Note 3 – Securities for a more expanded discussion), as well as a $200,000 settlement on a lawsuit.  Offsetting these positive factors was a decrease in mortgage banking activities income. Despite current historically low interest rates, mortgage banking activities, consisting mostly of homeowner refinances, peaked in March 2009. Mortgage refinances were considerably lower for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year period.

Non Interest Expense: Non interest expense increased from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to a $185,000 second write-down on a commercial REO property based upon updated valuation information obtained during the quarter. Partially offsetting the increase in other expense, our FDIC premiums decreased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 due to a FDIC special assessment of $108,000 paid during the second quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes:   The Company had federal income tax benefit of  $102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to a partial reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, compared to a federal income tax expense of less than $1,000 for the same period in 2009.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

General: Net income from continuing operations increased by $333,000 to net income of $522,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $189,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2009.

Interest Income:   Interest income decreased by $710,000 to $5.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 from $6.5 million for the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decline in the average balance of interest earning assets of $16.3 million to $214.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 from $230.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. In addition, we experienced a decrease in the yield on our interest earning assets of 24 basis points period over period due mainly to lower market interest rates period over period.

Interest Expense:   Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to $1.9 million from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in interest expense for the six-month period was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of our certificates of deposit and FHLB advances. The cost of our certificates of deposit decreased 100 basis points from 3.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 2.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as higher costing deposits matured and either left the Bank or were re-priced at lower rates. In addition, the cost of our FHLB advances decreased 114 basis points from 4.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due primarily to lower market interest rates period over period.

The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank during the periods indicated.

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income increased by $231,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $16.3 million, or 7.1%, when compared to the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $8.9 million, or 4.4%, to $193.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 from $201.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.  The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.40% for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 from 5.65% for the same period ended in 2009 while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.94% from 2.79%  for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The net interest margin increased to 3.67% for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 from 3.22% for same period in 2009.

Delinquent Loans and Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth information regarding loans delinquent 90 days or more and real estate owned/other repossessed assets of the Bank at the dates indicated.  As of the dates indicated, the Bank did not have any material restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS 15.

Nonperforming assets decreased by $5.4 million from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010. A large portion of this decrease related to three commercial loans totaling $2.7 million which had matured and were 90 or more days delinquent at December 31, 2009. The Bank has since rewritten these loans at market terms and rates and obtained additional collateral. These loans have since maintained current status. Also, a $469,000 commercial loan moved back to accruing status after more than 12 months of current payments.  In addition to these positive factors which affected the decrease in non-performing assets were a large non-accrual commercial loan relationship totaling approximately $2.4 million for which we took a $751,000 charge-down to net realizable value during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, approximately $400,000 in other loan charge-offs and $250,000 in additional write-downs on other real-estate owned due to receipt of updated information on value.

Provision for Loan Losses:    The provision for loan losses amounted to $606,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 and $516,000 for the comparable period in 2009.  Both six-month periods included increases in the provision for charge-downs on commercial credits. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 4.20% and 6.73% at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  As a percent of total assets, nonperforming loans decreased to 4.40% at June 30, 2010 from 6.58% at December 31, 2009.

Non Interest Income: Non interest income increased from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to a $447,000 gain on sale of investments as a result of a restructuring of the investment portfolio in an effort to reduce credit risk as well as a $200,000 settlement on a lawsuit.  Offsetting these positive factors was a decrease in mortgage banking activities income for six-month period, as discussed above in the analysis of results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Non Interest Expense. Non interest expense increased from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $185,000 second write-down on a commercial REO property based upon updated valuation information obtained, partially offset by  a decrease in our  FDIC premiums to a FDIC special assessment of $108,000 paid during the second quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes: The Company had no federal income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010  due to the partial reversal of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance, compared to $52,000 for the same period in 2009.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s current liquidity position is more than adequate to fund expected asset growth. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, proceeds from principal and interest payments, prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities and sale of long-term fixed-rate mortgages into the secondary market.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and  mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Liquidity represents the amount of an institution’s assets that can be quickly and easily converted into cash without significant loss.  The most liquid assets are cash, short-term U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities and certificates of deposit.  The Company is required to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity as defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement may be varied at the direction of the OTS. Regulations currently in effect require that the Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation.  The Company’s objective for liquidity is to be above 20%.  Liquidity as of June 30, 2010 was $35.2 million, or 31.6% compared to $27.5 million, or 22.0% at December 31, 2009.  The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. The liquidity calculated by the Company includes additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB. This borrowing capacity is based on pledged collateral.

The Company intends to retain for its portfolio certain originated residential mortgage loans (primarily adjustable rate and shorter term fixed rate mortgage loans) and to generally sell the remainder in the secondary market.  The Bank will from time to time participate in or originate commercial real estate loans, including  real estate development loans.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company originated $17.4 million in residential mortgage loans, of which $2.4 million were retained in portfolio while the remainder were sold in the secondary market or are being held for sale.  This compares to $39.0 million in originations during the first six months of 2009 of which $4.4 million were retained in portfolio.  The Company also originated $5.4 million of commercial loans and $2.2 million of consumer loans in the first  six months of 2009 compared to $13.7 million of commercial loans and $2.2 million of consumer loans for the same period in 2009.  Of total loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, mortgage loans comprised  46.3% and 45.5%, commercial loans 41.7% and 41.9% and consumer loans 12.0% and 12.6% at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Deposits are a primary source of ;funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes.  At June 30, 2010 deposits funded 69.5% of the Company’s total assets compared to 67.7% at December 31, 2009.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at June 30, 2010 totaled $43.3 million. Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.  The Bank  monitors the deposit rates offered by competition in the area and sets rates that take into account the prevailing market conditions along with the Bank’s liquidity position.  Moreover, management believes that growth in assets is not expected to require significant in-flows of liquidity.  As such, the Bank does not expect to be a market leader in rates paid for liabilities, although we may from time to time offer higher rates than our competitors, as liquidity needs dictate.

Borrowings may be used to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal sources of funds or for deposit outflows at more than projected levels.  Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support increased lending or investment activities.  At June 30, 2010 the Company had $38.0 million in FHLB advances. FHLB borrowings as a percentage of total assets were 16.7% at June 30, 2010 as compared to 19.0% at December 31, 2009.  At June 30, 2010m the Company has sufficient available collateral to obtain additional advances of $12.7 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 was $23.5 million, or 10.4% of total assets, compared to $23.1 million, or 9.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 (See “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity”).  The Bank is subject to certain capital-to-assets levels in accordance with OTS regulations.  The Bank was considered “well capitalized” under all capital requirements set forth by the OTS as of June 30, 2010.  The following table summarizes the Bank’s actual capital with the regulatory capital requirements and with requirements to be “Well Capitalized” under prompt corrective action provisions, as of June 30, 2010:
