Note 1 - Merger
On February 16, 2009, AB&T Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with 1st Financial Services Corporation (“1st Financial”) pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into 1st Financial (the “Merger”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated in it on February 12, 2009. The Board of Directors of 1st Financial approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated in it on February 13, 2009. Upon the consummation of the Merger, each share of the Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 1.175 shares of the Common Stock of 1st Financial. Each share of preferred stock of the Company issued and outstanding at the effective time of the Merger shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one share of the preferred stock of 1st Financial. Options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock will be converted into options to purchase shares of 1st Financial Common Stock based on the exchange ratio. The outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of 1st Financial common stock based on the exchange ratio. The Merger is intended to constitute a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The merger is subject to the approval of shareholders of both parties. If approved, the merger is expected to become effective during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Organization
The Company is a North Carolina business corporation incorporated in 2007. On May 14, 2008, pursuant to a plan of share exchange approved by the shareholders of Alliance Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”), all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank were exchanged for shares of common stock of the Company. The Company has no operations other than ownership of the Bank. The Bank was incorporated in North Carolina and commenced business on September 8, 2004. The principal business activity of the Bank is to provide commercial banking services to domestic markets, principally in Gaston and Cleveland counties in North Carolina. The Bank is a state-chartered bank, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
Note 3 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are consolidated to omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and for the interim periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2009.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and / or disclosure of financial information by the Company.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure. Contents in each Topic are further organized first by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC,” where ASC stands for Accounting Standards Codification. SFAS 168, (FASB ASC 105-10-05, 10, 15, 65, 70) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position but will change the referencing system for accounting standards. The following pronouncements provide citations to the applicable Codification by Topic, Subtopic and Section in addition to the original standard type and number.

FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20,” (FASB ASC 325-40-65) (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”) was issued in January 2009. Prior to the FSP, other-than-temporary impairment was determined by using either Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” (“EITF 99-20”) or SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” (“SFAS 115”) depending on the type of security. EITF 99-20 required the use of market participant assumptions regarding future cash flows regarding the probability of collecting all cash flows previously projected. SFAS 115 determined impairment to be other than temporary if it was probable that the holder would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. To achieve a more consistent determination of other-than-temporary impairment, the FSP amended EITF 99-20 to determine any other-than-temporary impairment based on the guidance in SFAS 115, allowing management to use more judgment in determining any other-than-temporary impairment. The FSP was effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. Management has reviewed the Company’s security portfolio and evaluated the portfolio for any other-than-temporary impairments.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued three staff positions related to fair value which are discussed below .
FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (FASB ASC 320-10-65), “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” (“FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2”) categorizes losses on debt securities available-for-sale or held-to-maturity determined by management to be other-than-temporarily impaired into losses due to credit issues and losses related to all other factors. Other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists when it is more likely than not that the security will mature or be sold before its amortized cost basis can be recovered. An OTTI related to credit losses should be recognized through earnings. An OTTI related to other factors should be recognized in other comprehensive income. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. Annual disclosures required in SFAS 115 and FSP SFAS 115-1 and SFAS 124-1 are also required for interim periods (including the aging of securities with unrealized losses).
FSP SFAS 157-4 (FASB ASC 820-10-65), “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly” recognizes that quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value when the volume and level of trading activity has significantly decreased. The evaluation of certain factors may necessitate that fair value be determined using a different valuation technique. Fair value should be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. If a transaction is considered to not be orderly, little, if any, weight should be placed on the transaction price. If there is not sufficient information to conclude as to whether or not the transaction is orderly, the transaction price should be considered when estimating fair value. An entity’s intention to hold an asset or liability is not relevant in determining fair value. Quoted prices provided by pricing services may still be used when estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157; however, the entity should evaluate whether the quoted prices are based on current information and orderly transactions. Inputs and valuation techniques are required to be disclosed in addition to any changes in valuation techniques.
FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC 825-10-65), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual
financial statements and also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods A publicly traded company includes any company whose securities trade in a public market on either a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or any company that is a conduit bond obligor. Additionally, when a company makes a filing with a regulatory agency in preparation for sale of its securities in a public market it is considered a publicly traded
company for this purpose.
The three staff positions are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption of all three permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the staff positions for its second quarter 10-Q. The staff positions had no material impact on the financial statements. Additional disclosures have been provided where applicable.
Also on April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1 (FASB ASC 805-20-25, 30, 35, 50), “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.” The FSP requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in a business combination that arise from a contingency be recognized at fair value. If fair value cannot be determined during the measurement period as determined in SFAS 141 (R), the asset or liability can still be recognized if it can be determined that it is probable that the asset existed or the liability had been incurred as of the measurement date and if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. If it is not determined to be probable that the
asset/liability existed/was incurred or no reasonable amount can be determined, no asset or liability is recognized. The entity should determine a rational basis for subsequently measuring the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Contingent consideration agreements should be recognized initially at fair value and subsequently reevaluated in accordance with guidance found in paragraph 65 of SFAS 141 (R). The FSP is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or
after the beginning of the Company’s first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will assess the impact of the FSP if and when a future acquisition occurs.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 111 (FASB ASC 320-10-S99-1) on April 9, 2009 to amend Topic 5.M., “Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and to supplement FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2. SAB 111 maintains the staff’s previous views related to equity securities; however debt securities are excluded from its scope. The SAB provides that
“other-than-temporary” impairment is not necessarily the same as “permanent” impairment and unless evidence exists to support a value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the equity security investment, a write-down to fair value should be recorded and accounted for as a realized loss. The SAB was effective upon issuance and had no impact on the Company’s financial position.
SFAS 165 (FASB ASC 855-10-05, 15, 25, 45, 50, 55), “Subsequent Events,” (“SFAS 165”) was issued in May 2009 and provides guidance on when a subsequent event should be recognized in the financial statements. Subsequent events that provide additional
evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet should be recognized at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued, are not required to be recognized. The date through which subsequent events have been evaluated must be disclosed as well as whether it is the date the financial statements were issued or the date
the financial statements were available to be issued. For nonrecognized subsequent events which should be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the nature of the event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, should be disclosed. The standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Subsequent events are discussed in Note 10.
The FASB issued SFAS 166 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS 166”) in June 2009. SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and
initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS 140 along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R). The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period,
and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.
SFAS 167 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS 167”) was also issued in June 2009. The standard amends FIN 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary is also required by the standard. SFAS 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasuries, other securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter
markets
and money market funds.
|
Level 2 |
Observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and
liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.
|
Level 3 |
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly-structured or long-term derivative contracts. |

Available-for-sale investment securities ($5,337,698 at June 30, 2009) are the only assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using level 2 inputs. The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using level 1 or level 3 inputs.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets and liabilities
carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the SFAS No. 157 valuation hierarchy (as described above) as of June 30, 2009 for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the period ending June 30, 2009.
The Company is predominantly an asset-based lender with real estate serving as collateral on a substantial majority of loans. Loans which are deemed to be impaired are primarily valued at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company
considers to be level 2 inputs.

The Company has no other assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured using level 3 inputs.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:
Cash and Due from Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Federal Funds Sold - Federal funds sold are for a term of one day, and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.
Time Deposits with Other Banks – The carrying amount approximates the fair value.
Investment Securities - The fair values of securities available-for-sale equal the carrying amounts, which are the quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. The carrying value of nonmarketable equity securities approximates the fair value since no ready market exists for the stocks.
Loans Receivable - For certain categories of loans, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on the carrying amounts. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one day.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank – The carrying amounts of variable rate borrowings are reasonable estimates of fair value because they can be repriced frequently. The fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company’s current borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable - The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments - In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable by the customer.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value. Approximately 100% of the unrealized losses, or one individual security, consisted of securities in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securitiesbefore recovery of its amortized cost. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary.
N ote 9 – United States Department of the Treasury Capital Purchase Program
On January 23, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement, with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Treasury (1) 3,500 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Preferred
Stock”) and (2) a warrant to purchase 80,153 shares of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000 in cash. The Preferred Stock will qualify as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Company may not redeem the Preferred Stock during the first three years following the investment by the Treasury, except with the proceeds from
a “Qualified Equity Offering”. After three years, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock at its liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Stock is generally nonvoting. The warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an initial per share exercise price of $6.55. The warrant has anti-dilution protections, registration rights, and certain other protections for the holder. If the Company
receives aggregate gross cash proceeds of not less than $3,500,000 from Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009, the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Treasury’s exercise of the warrant will be reduced by one-half of the original number of shares, taking into account all adjustments, underlying the warrant. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock
issued upon exercise of the Warrant.

I tem 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2009
compared to December 31, 2008, and the results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2009
and 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in the Company’s 2008
Annual Report on Form 10-K
. This report contains
“forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” "plan," and
“believe,” as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the Company’s operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income was $940,502
as compared to $1,075,852
for the same period in 2008. The average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 2.54% and 3.58%, respectively. The average rate realized on interest-earning assets was 4.60% and 5.80% for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
This decrease in the net interest income was primarily due to the reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board during the
current economic recession. As a result, this led to decreases in prevailing interest rates that reduced the yields on the Bank’s loans and other interest-earning assets.
The net interest spread was 2.06% and 2.22% for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
For the six
months ended June 30, 2009, net interest income was $1,685,918
as compared to $2,283,983
for the same
period in 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 2.73% and 3.54%, respectively. The average rate realized on interest-earning assets was 4.70% and 6.04% for the six
months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
This decrease in the net interest income was partly due to the reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board during the economic downturn. As a result, this led to decreases in prevailing interest rates that reduced the yields on the Bank’s loans and other interest-earning assets.
The net interest spread was 1.97% and 2.50% for the six
month periods
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that in management’s judgment is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 the provision was $305,760 and $150,252, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 the provision was $647,074 and $322,241, respectively. Management feels that the reserve is appropriate to the risks held within the portfolio. On June 30, 2009, there were $1,489,720 in loans in nonaccrual status. On June 30, 2008, there were $770,094 in loans in nonaccrual status. Based on present information, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2009 to meet presently known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is 1.39% and 1.12% of total loans at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. There are risks inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, including management’s experience at other institutions, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Management’s judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which it believes to be reasonable, but which may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required. Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a increase of the Company’s net loss and, possibly, a reduction of its capital.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009
was $118,565
or .02%
more
than total noninterest income
for the same period last year. The largest component of noninterest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2009
was service charges on deposit accounts, which totaled $98,868 or 41.11% higher than those for the three month period ended June 30, 2008.
This increase was driven largely by the Company’s expanded efforts in the acquisition of retail demand deposit accounts.
Rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,350 or 12.50% more than rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Total noninterest income for the six
months ended June 30, 2009
was $227,745
or 33.83%
more
than total noninterest income for the same period last year. The largest component of noninterest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009
was service charges on deposit accounts, which totaled $181,740
or 55.86% higher than those for the six
month period ended June 30,
2008.
This increase was driven largely by the Company’s expanded efforts in the acquisition of retail demand deposit accounts. Residential mortgage application fees for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $12,405 or 265.39% more than residential mortgage application fees for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009
was $1,135,490 or 23.29% higher than total noninterest expense for the same period last year. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits, which were $523,930
and $530,273 for the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. Salaries and benefits decreased due to the decrease in the number of active employees and the reduction in the expense of accrued bonuses and other benefits. Other operating
expenses were $475,630
and
$279,124
for the three months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
The increase in other operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of higher legal and accounting fees related to the merger with 1st Financial, and the one-time additional assessment imposed by the
FDIC.
Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,171,848 or 19.03% higher than total noninterest expense for the same period last year. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits, which were $1,119,872 and $1,095,924 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other operating expenses were $817,089 and $506,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of higher legal and accounting fees related to the merger with 1st Financial and the one-time additional assessment imposed by the FDIC.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the effective income tax rate was 38.36% and 39.58%, respectively. The income tax benefit was $146,588, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to an income tax provision of $48,729 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
For the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
the effective income tax rate was 38.35% and 39.30%, respectively. The income tax benefit
was $347,186, or the six
months ended June 30, 2009
compared to an income tax provision of $120,771
for the six
months ended June 30, 2008
.
Net Income (loss)
The combination of the above factors resulted in net loss of $235,595
for the three
months ended June 30, 2009
compared to net income of $74,393
for the comparable period in 2008, a decrease of 416.69%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there was a net loss of $558,073 and net income of $186,571, respectively.
Assets and Liabilities
During the first six months of 2009, total assets increased $4,125,265 or 2.42% when compared to December 31, 2008. This increase was partly due to a slight increase in loans of $921,772 or .66% when compared to December 31, 2008. The increase is also due to the Company’s participation in the “TARP” Capital Repurchase Program in which the Company sold to the Treasury 3,500 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 80,153 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.5 million in cash.

Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio
Criticized loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention and which could, if uncorrected, result in deterioration of the prospects for repayment of
the Company’s credit position at a future date. Classified loans are loans that are inadequately
protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or any collateral and as to which there is a distinct possibility or probability that we will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had criticized loans totaling $2,589,463 and
$1,722,862, respectively. At June 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company
had classified loans totaling $8,696,010 and
$5,569,588, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $1,489,720
or
1.06% of total gross loans in nonaccrual status
and $25,533 in loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Deposits
Total deposits increased $5,084,747
or 4.19%, from December 31, 2008 to $126,402,765 at June 30, 2009. The largest increase was in other time deposits which increased $5,894,228 or 7.46% to $84,885,920 at June 30, 2009. Time deposits $100,000 and over increased $1,038,543, or
10.12% to $11,302,132 at June 30, 2009. There
was a slight decrease in savings and money market accounts, which decreased $2,951,887 or
13.28%, to $19,281,135
at June 30, 2009. This decrease in savings and money market accounts is a combination of the Bank instituting a market pricing strategy and reducing the premium paid on certain
deposits in order to maintain the long term improvement of its net interest margin. Brokered deposits represent a source of fixed rate funds priced competitively with Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) but do not require collateralization like FHLB borrowings. Expressed in percentages, noninterest-bearing deposits increased 21.20% and interest-bearing deposits increased 3.42%.

The Company also has the capacity to pledge certain loans as collateral for additional borrowings from FHLB
during times when the comparable interest rate is favorable to the interest rate on deposit products. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity included federal funds sold totaling
$101,097
and securities available-for-sale totaling $5,337,698
and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $20,570,000.
Lines of credit available through correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaled $7,500,000 at June 30, 2009

Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – continued
In response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets and the potential threats to the solvency of investment banks and other financial institutions, the United States government has taken unprecedented actions. On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury will have the authority to, among other things, purchase mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, and other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of Treasury announced the Capital Purchase Program under the EESA, pursuant to which the Treasury intends to make senior preferred stock investments in participating financial institutions that will qualify as Tier 1 capital. Based on our risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2008, we were eligible to issue up to $4.2 million in new senior preferred stock under the program. We were approved for participation in the Capital Purchase Program and, on January 23, 2009, we issued and sold to the Treasury 3,500 shares of preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 80,153 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500,000 in cash. As a result of our participation in the program, we are required to have in place certain limitations on the compensation of our senior executive officers, applicable in certain situations. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 into law. This law includes additional restrictions on executive compensation applicable to the Company as a participant in the Capital Purchase Program. Further governmental intervention and new regulations under these programs could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity increased $2,945,885 to $27,139,986 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. This is primarily the result of the money the Bank received from the U.S. Department of Treasury Capital Purchase Program during the first quarter of $3,500,000, netted with the net loss for the period of $558,073, an unrealized loss, net of taxes, in securities available-for-sale of $19,477 and stock based compensation of $133,479.
The Federal Reserve Board and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the risk-based standard, capital is classified into two
tiers. Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, minus certain intangible assets. Tier 2 capital consists of the general reserve for loan losses subject to
certain limitations. An institution's qualifying capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of its
Tier 1 and
Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.
Banks and bank holding companies are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The minimum requirement for the leverage ratio is 3%; however all but the highest rated institutions are required to maintain ratios 100 to 200 basis points
above the minimum. Both the Company and the Bank exceeded their minimum regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2009
as well as the ratios to be considered "well capitalized."
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital at June 30, 2009

Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Through its operations, the Company has made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to the Company’s customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At
June 30, 2009, the Company had issued commitments to extend credit of $11,519,986 through various types of commercial lending arrangements. All of these commitments to extend credit had variable rates.
The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at

Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the table above do not necessarily reflect the Company's need for funds in the periods shown.
The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements at December 31,
2008
as contained in our 2008
Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on
historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements. Refer to the portions of the discussion in this report on Form 10-Q and in our 2008
Annual Report on Form 10-K
that address our allowance for loan losses for a description of
our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2009, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective.
(b) There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of its evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
