Chief Executive Officer’s Statement


In commenting on the Company’s financial results, Harry D. Madonna, Chief Executive Officer noted the following  highlights:

Ø  
Core deposits grew 8% on a linked quarter basis.
Ø  
Credit quality stabilized as  nonperforming assets were reduced to $17.4 million at June 30, 2008, down from $26.0 million at December 31, 2008.
Ø  
The net interest margin stabilized in the quarter to 3.19%, which was flat compared to the first quarter. As a result of significant maturities of higher cost certificates of deposit, margins should begin to show meaningful improvement in the remaining quarters of 2008.
Ø  
Noninterest expenses were reduced to $6.1 million in the quarter from $6.5 million in the prior quarter, primarily as a result of reduced expenses related to other real estate owned. Salary expense was also modestly reduced.
Ø  
A successful $10.8 million trust preferred offering generated significant capital for growth, resulting in a 10%+ tier one leverage ratio. As a result of higher long term investment rates , the Company was able to offset the future interest cost with investments in full faith and credit government securities.
Ø  
Tier one leverage capital amounted to 10.7% at June 30, 2008.

Harry D. Madonna, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We believe that the second quarter marked a significant milestone in the Company’s  primary goal of increasing shareholder value. The Company’s  issuance of  $10.8 million of trust preferred securities included a significant investment by Mr. Vernon Hill.  That additional capital is available to fund future growth, and results in a tier one leverage ratio which now exceeds 10%.  More notably, Mr. Hill became a consultant to the Company with the goal of significantly expanding the Bank’s lower cost deposits and thereby increasing earnings. Mr. Hill’s consultancy encompasses  various strategies by which he built  his previously affiliated institution’s distribution systems into one of the largest and most noteworthy in the country.  His branch banking and related strategies are arguably the most successful in the history of modern banking. Previously the Company had emphasized banking for small businesses and professionals, with minor emphasis on individuals. Now, we are committed to driving forward on a fast track to implement these  retail strategies.
 
Additionally, nonperforming assets declined to $17.4 million from $26.0 million at December 31, 2007 and $19.5 million at March 31, 2008.”

Total revenues of $7.8 million for the second quarter approximated the first quarter amount. The lower revenues in 2008 compared to the prior year, reflected lower loan balances which also contributed to a lower net interest margin.  Operating expenses were reduced 6% to $6.1 million from $6.5 million in the prior quarter primarily as a result of reduced other real estate owned expenses. Expenses were higher in 2008 compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of such expenses.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) of $7.1 million in the second quarter, compared to $7.3 million in the first quarter and $7.6 million for the prior year period. The lower current year amounts reflected lower balances of loans and securities, and a lower net interest margin. As a result of higher rate certificate of deposit maturities, management believes that margins should improve going forward. The net interest margin was 3.19% in both linked quarters, compared to 3.26% for the prior year quarter. We expect net interest margin to improve.

Noninterest expenses were reduced to $6.1 million from $6.5 million in the prior quarter, or  6%, primarily as a result of reduced other real estate owned expenses. Expenses were higher in 2008 compared to the prior year, primarily as a result of such expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expenses amounted to $2.7 million in each quarter of 2008. Such expenses increased $158,000, or 6%, in the current quarter compared to the prior year period. Additionally, regulatory assessments increased to $178,000 in the current quarter, primarily as a result of increases in statutory FDIC insurance rates.

                  The Company adopted a defensive balance sheet strategy  as a result of the economic downturn, with a resulting 5% decrease in loans between June 30, 2008 and the prior year. Net loans were relatively constant on a linked quarter basis, amounting to $784 million at period end. Management believes that there will be meaningful loan growth by year end 2008, subject to stringent underwriting requirements. Core deposits, which exclude all certificates of deposit, increased to $347 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $24.5 million, or 8% from March 31, 2008. A decrease compared to the prior year reflected intentional  reductions of higher cost deposits.
