See notes to consolidated financial statements 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION General - The consolidated financial statements of Tri-County Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank of Tri-County (the "Bank") included herein are unaudited; however, they reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the results for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The balances as of December 31, 2003 have been derived from audited financial statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company's accounting policies as disclosed in the 2003 Annual Report. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year. Certain previously reported amounts have been restated to conform to the 2004 presentation. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003. 2. NATURE OF BUSINESS The Company, through its bank subsidiary, provides domestic financial services primarily in southern Maryland. The primary financial services include real estate, commercial and consumer lending, as well as traditional demand deposits and savings products. 3. INCOME TAXES The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability method, deferred-tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities (i.e., temporary differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including any potential dilutive common shares outstanding, such as options and warrants. As of June 30, 2004, there were 6,300 shares excluded from the diluted net income per share computation because the option price exceeded the average market price and therefore, their effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share, have been computed based on weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding as follows:

8 5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its Plan. No compensation expense related to stock options was recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on fair value at the grant dates for awards under the its stock option plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts as follows for the three and six months ended June 30.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("Interpretation No. 46"), which explains identification of variable interest entities and the assessment of whether to consolidate those entities. Interpretation No. 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among the involved parties. The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 are effective for all financial statements issued after January 1, 2003. As noted in its discussion of operations and financial conditions, the Company completed an offering of trust preferred securities on July 22, 2004. This offering would fall under the provisions of this interpretation. The Company is evaluating its accounting treatment for this entity. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150"), effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. This statement established standards for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within the scope of the statement as a liability rather than as an equity, such as obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares. SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's earnings, financial condition or equity. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including discussions of Tri-County Financial Corporation's (the "Company's") goals, strategies and expected outcomes; estimates of risks and future costs; and reports of the Company's ability to achieve its financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties because they are based upon future economic conditions, particularly interest rates, competition within and without the banking industry, changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company and various other matters. Because of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake - and specifically disclaims any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. GENERAL The Company is a bank holding company organized in 1989 under the laws of the State of Maryland. It presently owns all the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Community Bank of Tri-County (the "Bank"), a Maryland-chartered commercial bank. The Company engages in no significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank and operating the business of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries. The Bank serves the Southern Maryland area through its main office and seven branches located in Waldorf, Bryans Road, Dunkirk, Leonardtown, La Plata, Charlotte Hall, and California, Maryland. The Bank accepts demand and time deposits, and originates loans to individuals, associations, partnerships and corporations. The Bank makes real estate loans including residential first and second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, construction, and commercial mortgage loans. The Bank makes commercial loans including secured and unsecured loans. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Systems. The Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") provides deposit insurance coverage up to applicable limits. Since its conversion to a state chartered commercial bank in 1997, the Bank has sought to increase its commercial, commercial real estate, construction, second mortgage, home equity, and consumer lending business as well as the level of transactional deposits to levels consistent with similarly sized commercial banks. As a result of this emphasis, the Bank's percentage of assets invested in residential first mortgage lending and investment securities has declined since 1997. Conversely, targeted loan types have increased. The Bank has also seen an increase in transactional deposit accounts while the percentage of total liabilities represented by certificates of deposits has declined. Management believes that these changes will enhance the Bank's overall long-term financial performance. Management recognizes that the shift in composition of the Bank's loan portfolio will tend to increase its exposure to credit losses. The Bank has continued to evaluate its allowance for loan losses and the associated provision to compensate for the increased risk. Any evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is inherently inexact and reflects management's expectations as to future economic conditions in the Southern Maryland area as well as individual borrower's circumstances. Management believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate. For further information on the Bank's allowance for loan losses see the discussion in the financial condition section of this 10-Q, as well as the relevant discussions in the Form 10-K and annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. 10 In the last several quarters, the national economy has recovered fitfully from a mild recession. Our local economy has remained strong in relation to the national and statewide economy. In the current quarter, this recovery is gaining strength and appears to be solidly under way. Locally, the housing market has appreciated strongly in the last several quarters in reaction to continued lower interest rates and a strong local job market. National job markets also appear to be strengthening. These economic factors have led to an overall consensus that the recovery is now solid and that the Federal Reserve will likely raise rates again during the next several quarters. The Federal Reserve raised the discount rate on June 30, 2004 and this change was reflected in a change to the prime rate in July of 2004. A series of sharp rate increases could negatively impact the Bank's financial performance. This would be particularly true if these rate increases were more rapid and sustained than the corresponding increases in the Bank's yield on assets. Other negative effects of a sharply higher interest rate environment could include a drop in real estate values. A large sustained drop in real estate values would negatively impact the Bank's collateral on many of our loans and could lead to asset quality problems. During the last two years, loan customers have reacted to lower interest rates by continuing to refinance higher rate loans. This refinance activity has decreased the interest rates earned on loans. In the last quarter longer term rates have increased slightly. These increases will have the effect of decreasing refinance activity. If rates continue to rise, the Bank may also see an increase in the popularity of adjustable rate mortgages in the residential housing market. Higher rates will also decrease prepayments from our investment portfolio. The Bank has been able to increase net interest income from the prior year through growth in its balance sheet which offset a lower interest margin. Noninterest income decreased slightly during the period, lower gains on the sale of loans and losses on the sale of investments were mostly offset by higher service charge, loan fee, and Bank Owned Life Insurance income. Noninterest expense increased primarily from increases in the Bank's size. An increase in the valuation allowance on foreclosed real estate also increased expenses. Finally, the effective tax rate paid by the Company decreased due to the donation of certain foreclosed property.
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ----------------------------- 2004 2003 ---- ---- Condensed Income Statement Interest Income $ 9,242,429 $ 7,842,180 Interest Expense 3,166,324 2,740,038 Net Interest Income 6,076,105 5,102,142 Provision for Loan Loss 83,974 114,327 Noninterest Income 830,253 841,747 Noninterest Expense 4,713,234 4,074,041 Income Before Income Taxes 2,109,150 1,755,521 Income Taxes 416,376 605,215 Net Income 1,692,774 1,150,306 Per Common Share Basic Earnings $ 2.22 $ 1.53 Diluted Earnings 2.12 1.45 Book Value 37.27 35.86
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEAR TO DATE Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 totaled $1,692,774 ($2.22 basic and $2.12 diluted earnings per share) compared with net income of $1,150,306 ($1.53 basic and $1.45 diluted earnings per 11 share) for the same period in the prior year. This increase of $542,468 or 47.2% was caused by an increase in net interest income, a reduction in provision for loan losses, and a reduction in income tax expense, which was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses and a slight decrease in noninterest income. For the six month period ended June 30, 2004, interest income increased by $1,400,249 or 17.9% to $9,242,429. The increase was due to higher average interest earning asset balances, including investments and loans which was partially offset by lower average rates on loans. Interest expense also increased to $3,166,324 in the six month period ending June 30, 2004 as compared to $2,740,038 in the same period in the prior year an increase of $426,286 or 15.6%. The increase was the result of higher average balances which more than offset lower average rates paid on advances. Rates on deposits increased slightly from the prior period. The changes in average interest rates reflected several factors including a slight increase in short term interest rates, changes in the composition of borrowings, and continued growth in certain loan products. Provision for loan losses decreased from prior year levels to $83,974 from $114,327 for the six month period ending June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease was caused in by the Bank's continued low levels of delinquency and charge offs which lowered the Bank's estimate of average losses per dollar of loan. These decreases in loss estimates were partially offset by higher ending loan balances. Management will continue to periodically review its allowance for loan losses and the related provision and adjust as deemed necessary. This review will include a review of economic conditions nationally and locally, as well as a review of the performance of significant major loans and the overall portfolio. Noninterest income decreased slightly to $830,253 for the six month period ending June 30, 2004, a decrease of $11,494 or 1.4% from the prior year total of $841,747. Loan appraisal, credit, and miscellaneous charges increased by $17,973 to $147,952. This increase was offset by a decrease in gains from selling loans which decreased to $21,404 from $364,690, a decrease of $343,286 or 94.1%. This change reflects the Bank's preference to keep a higher proportion of loans in its portfolio because the Bnak felt that the immediate profits from selling loans did not sufficiently offset the loss of future interest income caused by the sale. The Bank also recorded $147,696 in income from Bank Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI"), compared to $127,095 in 2003, an increase of $20,601 or 16.2%. This increase was the result of a BOLI purchase at the end of the first quarter of 2003. Service charges increased by $328,976 or 155.4% form the prior year amount. The increase was due to strong increases in deposits as well as increases in sales of nondeposit products. In the prior year, service charges were also reduced by a write-down of OMSR's. A loss of $27,504 on the sale of certain short term securities was recorded in the current year. In the prior year, other income resulted from the rental of certain properties, in the current year no property was rented to others. Noninterest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 increased by $639,193 or 15.7% to $4,713,234 from $4,074,041 in the same period for the prior year. Salary and employee benefits increased by 17.6% to $2,615,924 from $2,225,053 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was attributable to an increase in employees and to increases in average salary costs per employee. Benefits costs also increased due to increases in insurance costs as well as the addition of certain benefits. Occupancy expense increased from $371,847 to $390,140, an increase of 4.9% due to additional locations and increased costs at certain locations. Advertising increased to $240,230 from $134,926, an increase of $105,304 or 78.1%. Advertising increased due to an increase in certain sales efforts. Data processing expense increased to $289,220 from a prior year total of $194,033 an increase of $95,187 or 49.1%. This increase was due to certain nonrecurring expenses to further improve data processing capability. Depreciation of furniture fixtures and equipment decreased to $180,200 from the prior year total of $229,739 a decrease of $49,539 or 21.6%. This decrease was the result of certain assets being fully depreciated at the end of 2003. Telephone communications declined to $57,455 from $102,732 in the prior year, a decline of $45,277 or 44.1%. This decline reflected a change in service providers which was offset by higher usage. ATM related expenses increased by $37,404 to $163,873 for the period ending June 30, 2004, an increase of 29.6% due to higher levels of activity, more ATM's, and certain price increases by ATM service providers. Office supplies expense decreased to $61,765 from the prior year amount of $75,838, a decrease of $14,073 or 18.6%. Prior year totals were increased by several initiatives in the second quarter of 2003. The provision for valuation allowances on foreclosed real estate increased to $147,203 as of June 30, 2004 from none in 2003. The increase in 2004 was due to an adverse zoning 12 restriction placed on a foreclosed property. This zoning changed the value of the property. The Bank is appealing this decision, however the Bank has increased the valuation allowance pending this appeal. Office equipment expenses decreased to $45,685 from 2003's level of $79,973, a decrease of $34,288 or 42.9%. This decrease was caused by the retirement of certain equipment. Other expenses decreased to $521,539 from $533,431 a decrease of $11,892 or 2.2%, reflecting some small cost reductions. Income taxes decreased to $416,376 or 19.7% of pretax income in the current year compared to $605,215 or 34.5% of pretax income in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily attributable to the contribution of a foreclosed property to an environmental organization which generated a current income tax deduction. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SECOND QUARTER The Company recorded net income for the second quarter of 2004 of $803,576 compared to $509,195 for the same period in 2003. The increase was the result of an increase in net interest and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense compared to the same period in 2003. Net interest income increased by 19.7% to $3,046,583 in 2003 from $2,545,052 as a result of increased asset size offset by a slightly lower net interest margin. The provision for loan losses decreased by 87.4% to $13,772 in 2004 from $108,941 in 2003 due to continued low loan write-offs which lowered the estimate of loan losses present in our portfolio. Loan appraisal, credit and miscellaneous charges decreased by $20,835 or 20.3% to $81,748 due to a continued trend in the market toward low or no fee loans. Gain on the sale of mortgage loans decreased from $237,595 to nothing because the Bank has not sold loans in the current quarter. Service charges in 2003 were lower than in 2004, due to write-offs of originated mortgage servicing rights in 2003. Other income amounts declined due to a decline in rental income. Salary and employee expense increased to $1,317,544 from $1,095,727, an increase of $221,817 or 20.2% due to an increased average salary per employee, higher number of employees, and the addition of certain benefits. Occupancy expense was comparable to the prior year. Advertising expenses increased by $26,499 or 37.2% to $97,691, this increase was the result of delaying of certain advertising efforts in 2003. Data processing expense increased to $137,222, an increase of $28,494 or 26.2% over the prior year total of $108,728. The increase reflects the addition of certain capabilities such as internet banking in the past year. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment declined due to the write down of large amounts of equipment in the prior year. These expenses decreased by $21,839 or 19.0%. Telephone communications also decreased to $19,480 or by 69.4% from $63,656 due to changes in phone service providers. ATM expenses increased by $15,786 or 23.2% to $83,775 in the current year due to changes in ATM operations. Office supplies expense decreased to $22,346 from $52,373 a decrease of $30,027 or 57.3% as prior year expenses were increased by the need to change some supplies in connection with the introduction of internet banking. Office equipment and other expense was similarly reduced by the retirement of certain equipment. The provision for valuation allowance on foreclosed real estate increased to $33,376 in 2004 based on the write down of certain property in 2004. Other expenses declined by 8.7% The income tax rate was 30.1% compared to 33.4% for the same period in the prior year. This was caused by an increase in nontaxable income. FINANCIAL CONDITION Assets Total assets as of June 30, 2004 increased by $43,540,404 to $395,270,396 from the December 31, 2003 level of $351,729,992. Cash and due from banks increased by $3,189,944 or 137.5% from December 31, 2003's total. Interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased by $36,751 or .4% during the period to $8,875,581 at June 30, 2004. Federal funds sold declined to $517,127 or by $421,039 from the December 31, 2003 total of $938,166. Investment securities, including both the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios, increased from $99,895,249 to $101,911,226 an increase of $2,015,977 or 2.0%. Increases were primarily the result of additional purchases of investments and the conversion of Fed funds sold and interest bearing deposits to investments. Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Banks increased due to increased borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank system. Loans held for sale declined to nothing from $474,880 at December 31, 2003. This decline was caused by the 13 Bank's decision to keep most of its current loan production in its portfolio. The Bank's loan portfolio increased by $38,432,034 or 17.7% during the six month period ending June 30, 2004 to $256,172,187 from December 2003's total of $217,740,153. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in its portfolio of commercial real estate loans. The increase in commercial real estate lending is a reflection of the strong local economy and continuing sales efforts by the Bank in this area. At June 30, 2004 the Bank's allowance for loan losses totals $2,665,110 or 1.03% of loan balances as compared to $2,572,799 or 1.16% of loan balances at December 31, 2003. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a periodic evaluation of the portfolio with consideration given to the overall loss experience; current economic conditions; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; financial condition of the borrowers; and other relevant factors that, in management's judgment, warrant recognition in providing an adequate allowance. Management believes that the allowance is adequate. Additional loan information for prior years is presented in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The following tables set forth the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio, the activity in the Bank's allowance for loan losses, and information about the Bank's nonperforming loans for the periods indicated:

Premises and equipment increased due to the renovation of parts of the home office building. These improvements were partially offset by depreciation. Foreclosed real estate declined to $534,561 at June 30, 2004 from $706,764 at December 31, 2003 due to the donation of one property and an increase in the valuation allowance. Liabilities Deposit balances increased by $27,492,849 or 12.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily in interest bearing deposits including several types of interest bearing checking accounts. Management believes that ongoing stock market volatility combined with questions about certain Mutual Fund operations has made bank deposits more attractive to the general public. The Bank has also increased marketing efforts for all deposit products in the current year. Short term borrowings increased to $36,812,298, an increase of $5,621,013, primarily to serve as a funding for loan growth. Long term debt increased to $72,947,302 at June 30, 2004, from $63,051,176 at December 31, 2003, to fund loan growth as noted above. Stockholders' Equity Stockholders' equity increased $732,927 or 2.6% to $28,644,837 at June 30, 2004 compared to $27,911,910 at December 31, 2003. This reflects the net income of $1,692,774 and the exercise of stock options of $207,185 for the six month period. These increases in equity were offset by a cash dividend of $541,633, using $200,882 to purchase shares in the open market and retire them, an increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $501,656, and activity related to the ESOP shares of $74,011. Book value on a per share basis, $37.27 at June 30, 2004, as compared to $37.05 at December 31, 2003, reflects a .2% increase, with a slight increase in outstanding shares, partially offsetting the gains noted previously. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES On July 22, 2004, the Company completed its offering of trust preferred securities. The securities were issued by a special purpose business trust formed by the Company and sold in a private transaction pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Interest rate on the trust preferred securities is variable and adjustable quarterly at 2.60% over LIBOR with an initial rate of 4.29%. These securities are callable at par at the Company's option after 5 years. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, to fund dividends to 15 shareholders and for contribution to the capital of Community Bank of Tri County. The Company currently has no business other than that of the Bank and does not currently have any material funding commitments other than dividend payments on the trust preferred securuties. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and dividends received from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends. The Bank's principal sources of funds for investments and operations are net income, deposits from its primary market area, principal and interest payments on loans, interest received on investment securities, short and long term wholesale borrowings, and proceeds from maturing investment securities. Its principal funding commitments are for the origination or purchase of loans and the payment of maturing deposits. Deposits are considered a primary source of funds supporting the Bank's lending and investment activities. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, federal funds sold, and money market mutual funds. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank's operating financing and investment activities at any given time. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows. The Bank may borrow up to 35% of consolidated Bank assets on a line of credit available from the FHLB. As of June 30, 2004, the maximum available under this line would be $138 million, while current outstanding advances totaled $110 million. In order to draw on this line the Bank must have sufficient collateral. Qualifying collateral includes residential 1-4 family first mortgage loans, certain second mortgage loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and various investment securities. REGULATORY MATTERS The Bank is subject to Federal Reserve Board capital requirements as well as statutory capital requirements imposed under Maryland law. At June 30, 2004, the Bank's tangible, leverage and risk-based capital ratios were 7.53%, 9.75% and 10.67%, respectively. These levels are well in excess of the required 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0% ratios required by the Federal Reserve Board. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within the financial statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained when earning of income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (2) SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent in the determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, including in connection with the valuation of collateral, a borrower's prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors on the formula allowance. The establishment of allowance factors is a continuing exercise, based on management's continuing assessment of the global factors such as delinquencies, loss history, trends in the volume and term of loans, national 16 and local economic trends, concentration of credit, loan classification, and other factors. Changes in allowance factors will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision and a corresponding effect on net income. Errors in management's perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance not being adequate to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in additional provisions or chargeoffs. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable. The Company qualifies as a "small business issuer." ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level.
