NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSEAGLE BANCORP, INC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six and three months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General - The financial statements of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") 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. The
amounts as of December 31, 2004 were derived from audited consolidated financial
statements. 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. There
have been no significant changes to the Company's Accounting Policies as
disclosed in the 2004 Annual Report. The Company believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of
operations for the six and three months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the
year, or for any other period.
2. NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company, through its bank subsidiary, provides domestic financial
services primarily in Montgomery County, Maryland and Washington, DC. The
primary financial services include real estate, commercial and consumer lending,
as well as traditional deposit and repurchase agreement products. The Bank is

The unrealized losses that exist are the result of market changes in
interest rates since the original purchases. All of the bonds are rated AAA.
These factors coupled with the Company's ability and intent to hold these
investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated
recovery in fair value substantiates that the unrealized losses are temporary.temporary in
nature.
4. INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS109),
"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.
5. 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 March 31,June 30, 2005 there were no option shares excluded from the diluted net
income per share computation because their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.computation. Earnings per share for the six and three monthsmonth
periods ended March 31,June 30, 2004, have been adjusted to reflect a 1.3 for one stock
split in the form of a 30% stock dividend effected on February 28, 2005.
7
6. STOCK-BASEDSTOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and applies the intrinsic value method
of recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.25 and related interpretations in accounting for its Plan. No compensation
expense related to the Plan was recorded during the six or three monthsmonth period
ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004. If the Company had elected to recognize
compensation cost based on fair value at the grant dates for awards under the
Plan 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 six and three month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Item7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" (Statement 154), which
replaces APB Opinion No. 20 "Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3 "Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements". This Statement changes the
requirements for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and all
voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance it does not include specific
transition provisions. Specifically, this statement requires retrospective
application to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable
to determine the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.
When it is impractical to determine the effects of the change, the new
accounting principle must be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities
as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application
is practicable and a correspondent adjustment must be made to the opening
balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an
income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of
the change, the new principle must be applied as if it were adopted
prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This statement is effective
for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2005. This statement does not change the transition
provisions of any existing pronouncements. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of Statement No. 154 will have a significant impact on its consolidated
statement of income or financial condition.
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation.MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following discussion provides information about the results of
operations, and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of the
Company and its subsidiary, the Bank. This discussion and analysis should be
read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report and the Management Discussion
and Analysis in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals,
intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of
Company operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. In
some cases, forward looking statements can be identified by use of such words as
"may", "will", "anticipate", "believes", "expects", "plans", "estimates",

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP") and follow general practices within the banking industry.
Application of these principles requires management to make estimates,
assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments
are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements;
accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect
different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently
have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and
as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially
different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are
necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value,
when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements
at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be
established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon
a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results
in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used
to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based
either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources,
when available.
9
The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the losses that may
be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two principles of
accounting: (a) Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies", which requires that losses be accrued when they
are probable of occurring and are estimable and (b) SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which requires that losses be accrued when
it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest
payments according to the contractual terms of the loan. The loss, if any, can
be determined by the difference between the loan balance and the value of
collateral, the present value of expected future cash flows, or values
observable in the secondary markets.
Three components comprise our allowance for credit losses: a specific
allowance, a formula allowance and a nonspecific or environmental factors
allowance. Each component is determined based on estimates that can and do
change when the actual events occur.
The specific allowance individually allocates an allowance to
identified loans. A loan for which reserves are individually allocated may show
deficiencies in the borrower's overall financial condition, payment record,
support available from financial guarantors and or the fair market value of
collateral. When a loan is identified as impaired, a specific reserve is
established based on the Company's assessment of the loss that may be associated
with the individual loan.
The formula allowance is used to estimate the loss on internally risk
rated loans, exclusive of those identified as requiring specific reserves. Loans
identified as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, are segregated
from non-rated loans. Each loan type is assigned an allowance factor based on
management's estimate of the risk, complexity and size of individual loans
within a particular category. Classified loans are assigned higher allowance
factors than non-rated loans due to management's concerns regarding
collectibility or management's knowledge of particular elements regarding the
borrower. Allowance factors increase with the worsening of the internal risk
rating.
The nonspecific formulaor environmental factors allowance is used to estimate
the loss of remaining loans (those not identified as either requiring specific
reserves or having classified risk ratings). The loss estimates are based on
more global factors incident to the overall portfolio, such as delinquency
trends, loss history, trends in the volume and size of individual credits,
effects of changes in lending policy, the experience and depth of management,
national and local economic trends, any concentrations of credit, the quality of
loan review system and the effect of external factors such as competition and
regulatory requirements. The nonspecificenvironmental factors allowance captures losses
whose impact on the portfolio may have occurred but have yet to be recognized in
either the formula or specific allowance.
10
Management has significant discretion in making the judgments inherent
in the determination of the provision and allowance for credit losses,
including, in connection with the valuation of collateral, a borrower's
prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors on the formula
allowance and nonspecific allowance components of the allowance. The
establishment of allowance factors is a continuing evaluation, based on
management's ongoing assessment of the global factors discussed above and their
impact on the portfolio. The allowance factors may change from period to period,
resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or
allowance, based upon the same volume and classification of loans. Changes in
allowance factors will have a direct impact on the amount of the provision, and
a related, after tax 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 charge-offs. For additional information
regarding the allowance for credit losses, refer to the discussion under the
caption "Allowance for Credit Losses" below.

2005
The Company had an annualized return on average assets of 1.20%1.12% and an
annualized return on average equity of 11.32%10.83% for the first threesix months of 2005,
as compared to returns on average assets and average equity of 1.08%0.99% and 8.78%8.30%,
respectively, for the same threesix months of 2004.
The increase in net income for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 as
compared to the same period in 2004 can be attributed substantially to an
increase of 47%50% in net interest income, resulting from an increase of 28% in
average earning assets and an increase in the net interest spread of 59 basis
points and the net interest margin of 6576 basis points between the comparable
periods. Since June 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank has increased the federal
funds target rate by 1.75%225 basis points to 2.75%3.25% in sevennine interest rate increases
of 25 basis points.points each. The impact of these interest rate increases has
contributed to the improvement in the Company's margin in the past several
quarters. While interest ratesthe average rate on earning assets havefor the six month period has
risen by 6587 basis points from 5.21% to 6.08%, the cost of interest bearing
liabilities has increased by only 628 basis points.points from 1.29% to 1.57%.
Additionally, the growth in average noninterest bearing funding sources for the
first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 2004 has been $52.6$53 million or 49%47%.
This significant growth in noninterest bearing funding sources has increased the
value of noninterest sources funding earning assets from 3431 basis points for the
first threesix months in 2004 to 4048 basis points for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30,
2005. Thus, the Company has been able to increase its primary source of funds
(core deposits) at rates which have allowed its net interest spread and margin
to increase in the first quartersix months of 2005 as compared to the same period in
2004. As a result of competitive pressures, rates paid on deposits, which have
not increased as much or as rapidly as interest rates on earning assets, may
result in a higher cost of funding in future periods, which may not be offset by
further increases in interest rates on earning assets. As a result of such
potential margin compression, the Company's earnings could be adversely
effected.impacted.
Loans, which generally have higher yields than securities and other
earning assets, increased from 79%78% of average earning assets in the first threesix
months of 2004 to 81%82% of average earning assets for the same period of 2005.
Investment securities infor the first quartersix months of 2005 amounted to 12%13% of
average earning assets as compared to 16% for the first threesix months in 2004. This
decline was directly related to average loan growth over the past twelve month
period exceeding the growth of average deposit and other funding sources.
11
The provision for credit losses was $417$887 thousand for the first quartersix
months in 2005 as compared to $154$230 thousand for the same period in 2004. This
increase was largely attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio in the first
quartersix months of 2005, which was very favorable. As discussed in the section on
Allowance for Credit Losses, the Company had $6$28 thousand of net recoveries on
previously charged off loans in the first quartersix months of 2005. This compared to
net charge-offsrecoveries of $84$47 thousand for the first threesix months of 2004. At March 31,June 30,
2005, the allowance for credit losses was $4.7$5.2 million or 1.07% of total loans,
as compared to $3.7$4.0 million or 1.14% of total loans at March 31,June 30, 2004 and $ 4.2$4.2
million or 1.02% of total loans at December 31, 2004. NoninterestThe provision for credit
losses was $470 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to
$76 thousand for the same period in 2004, the increase being attributable
primarily to growth in the level of outstanding loans.
Total noninterest income decreased 4%, to $1.0was $1.9 million for both the first threesix months
of 2005 from $1.1 million in the same period ofand 2004. However, noninterest income for the first threesix months of 2004
included investment securities gains of $253 thousand, while nothe first six
months of 2005 had investment securities gains were recognized in
the first quarter of 2005.just $12 thousand. Excluding
gains on the sale of investment securities, noninterest income was $1.0$1.9 million
in 2005 versus $0.8$1.7 million for 2004, an increase of 25%16%. This increase was due
primarily to increased gains on the sale of SBA loans ($385which amounted to $517
thousand for the first six months in 2005 versus $97 thousand), and residential mortgage$241 thousand for 2004. For the
three months ended June 30, 2005, total noninterest income was $887 thousand as
compared to $825 thousand for the same period in 2004. This modest overall
increase was due substantially to an increase in other income relating primarily
to loan prepayment fees being substantially offset by declines in the gain on
sale of loans ($110 thousand versus $75 thousand).in the period.
Noninterest expenses increased from $3.5$7.1 million in the first quartersix of
2004 to $4.5$9.4 million for the first quartersix months of 2005, an increase of 28%32%. The
increase was attributable primarily to increases in staff levels, and related
personnel cost increases, tohigher amounts of incentive based compensation,
increased occupancy costs, due in part to new banking offices, and to higher
marketing and data processing and professional feescosts associated with a larger organization. TheIn
spite of higher amounts of noninterest expenses, the Company's stronger growth
in revenue as compared to noninterest expenses resulted in the efficiency ratio
improvedimproving in the first quartersix months of 2005 to 59.56%61.09% as compared to 63.64%65.46% for
the first quartersix months in 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, total
noninterest expenses were $4.9 million, as compared to $3.6 million for the same
period in 2004. This increase was due to the same factors mentioned above which
affected the increase for the six month period.
The combination of increases in net interest income from both increased
volume and favorable interest rate effects and noninterest income, offset in
part by increases in the provision for credit losses stable noninterest incomedue to growth, and
increases in noninterest expenses, resulted in the significant improvement in reportednet
income for the first quartersix months of 2005 versus 2004.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on
earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those earning assets. Earning
assets are composed primarily of loans and investment securities. The cost of
funds represents interest expense on deposits, customer repurchase agreements
and other borrowings.borrowings, which comprise federal funds purchased and advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Noninterest bearing deposits and capital
are other components representing funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix
of assets and funding sources, along with the changes in yields earned and rates
paid, determine changes in net interest income. Net interest income for the
first threesix months of 2005 was $6.5$13.4 million compared to $4.4$9.0 million for the
first six months of 2004, a 50% increase. For the three months of 2004.

ended June 30,
2005, net interest income amounted to $6.9 million, as compared to $4.6 million
for the same period in 2004, a 52% increase.
The following table labeled "Average Balances, Interest Yields and
Rates and Net Interest Margin" presents the average balances and rates of the
various categories of the Company's assets and liabilities. Included in the
table is a measurement of interest rate spread and margin. Interest spread is
the difference (expressed as a percentage) between the interest rate earned on
earning assets less the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. While
net interest spread provides a quick comparison of earnings rates versus cost of
funds, management believes that the net interest margin provides a better
measurement of performance. Marginperformance, since the net interest margin includes the effect of
noninterest bearing sources in its calculation, andwhich are significant factors in
the Company's financial performance. The net interest margin is net interest

Allowance for Credit LossesALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses represents the amount of expense
charged to current earnings to fund the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the
allowance for credit losses is based on many factors which reflect management's
assessment of the risk in the loan portfolio. Those factors include economic
conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, volume and mix of
the portfolio, performance of the portfolio, and internal loan processes of the
Company and Bank.
Management has developed a comprehensive analytical process to monitor
the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. This process and guidelines
were developed utilizing among other factors, the guidance from federal banking
regulatory agencies. The results of this process, in combination with
conclusions of the Bank's outside loan review consultant, support management's
assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance at the balance sheet date. Please
refer to the discussion under the caption "Critical Accounting Policies" for an
overview of the methodology management employs on a quarterly basis to assess
the adequacy of the allowance and the provisions charged to expense.
Also, refer
to the following table which reflects theFollowing are tables of comparative charge-offs and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs information.data as
well as information on the Company's non-performing and potential problem loans.
During the first threesix months of 2005, a provision for credit losses was
made in the amount of $417$887 thousand and the allowance for credit losses
increased $ 423$915 thousand, including the impact of $6$28 thousand in net recoveries
during the period. The provision for credit losses of $417$887 thousand in the first
threesix months of 2005 compared to a provision for credit losses of $154$230 thousand in
the first threesix months of 2004. The higher level of the provision in 2005 is
primarily attributable to significant growth in the loan portfolio in the first quartersix
months of 2005. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, a provision for credit
losses was made in the amount of $470 thousand, as compared to $76 thousand for
the same period in 2004, the substantially higher provision being due primarily
to substantial growth in the portfolio in the three months ended June 30, 2005.
Net recoveries amounted to $22 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2005
as compared to $131 thousand for the same period in 2004.
At March 31,June 30, 2005, the Company had $151$132 thousand of loans classified as
nonaccrual as compared to $156 thousand at December 31, 2004 and $561$151 thousand
at March 31, 2004.2005. The Company had no restructured loans or real estate owned at
either, March 31,June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 or March 31,June 30, 2004. Significant variation in
these amounts may occur from period to period because the amount of
nonperforming loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of
individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio. The
Company had no other
real estate owned at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 or March 31, 2004. The
balance of impaired loans was $151$132 thousand at March 31,June 30, 2005, with specific
reserves against those loans of $57 thousand, compared to $156 thousand at
December 31, 2004 with specific reserves of $31 thousand. The allowance for loan
losses represented 1.07% of total loans at March 31,June 30, 2005, as compared to 1.02%
at December 31, 2004. This increase was due to a slight mix shift in the loan
portfolio composition toward more commercial real estate loans (48%(49% versus 46%)
which category tends to have larger transactions in the assessment of risk,
resulting in an increase in the unallocated portion ofallocation factors contained in the allowance
methodology and to modifications in the environmental factors allowance.
As part of its comprehensive loan review process, the Company's Board
of Directors and the Bank Director's Loan Committee and or Board of Director's
Credit Review CommitteesCommittee carefully evaluates loans which are past due 30 days or
more. The Committee(s) make a thorough assessment of the conditions and
circumstances surrounding each delinquent loan. The Bank's loan policy requires
that loans be placed on nonaccrual if they are ninety days past due, unless they
are well secured and in the process of collection.
The maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio, with an adequate
allowance for possible loan losses will continue to be a primary management
objective in the Company.

Noninterest IncomeNONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income consists primarily of deposit account service charges, gains
on the sale of SBA and residential mortgage loans, other noninterest loan fees,
income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") and other service fees. For the
threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005, noninterest income was $1.0$1.9 million. This
compared to $1.1$1.9 million of noninterest income for the threesix months ended March
31,June 30,
2004, which included $253 thousand in net gains on the sale of investment
securities.
The Company is an active originator of SBA loans and its current practice is to
sell the insured portion of those loans at a premium. Income from this source
was $385$517 thousand for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 compared to $97$241
thousand for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004, as the Company emphasized this
lending activity in the first three monthshalf of 2005. The Company also originates
residential mortgage loans on a pre-sold basis, servicing released. Sales of
these mortgage loans yielded gains of $110$125 thousand in the first threesix months of
2005 compared to $75$148 thousand in the same period in 2004. Income for the threesix
months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 was $269included $592 thousand from deposit account service
charges, $46$98 thousand from SBA loan service fees and $102$204 thousand from BOLI,
versus $346$709 thousand from deposit account service charges, $32$65 thousand from SBA
service fees and $83$173 thousand from BOLI for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004.
Other noninterest income amounted to $127$378 thousand for the first threesix months of
2005, as compared to $196$318 thousand in the first quartersix months of 2004. The decline
in deposit servicesservice charges was primarily related to a decline in overdraft fees.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenseincome was $4.5 million$887 thousand for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2005
compared to $3.5 million$825 thousand for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2004, an increase
of 28%8%.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Noninterest expense was $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of
32%.
Salaries and benefits were $2.6$5.2 million for the first quartersix of 2005, as compared
to $ 2.03.9 million for 2004, a 31%34% increase. This increase was due to staff
additions and related personnel costs.costs as well as to increases in incentive based
compensation. At June 30, 2005 the Bank had 137 full time equivalent employees
as compared to 111 at June 30, 2004.
Premises and equipment expenses amounted to $801 thousand$1.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31,first six
months of 2005 versus $598 thousand$1.3 million for the same period in 2004. This increase of
34%27% was due in part to a new banking office opened in the first quarter of 2005
and one in the second quarter of 2004 and to ongoing operating expense increases
associated with the Company's facilities, all of which are leased, and to
increased equipment costs.
Advertising costs increased from $56$159 thousand in the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30,
2004 to $96$207 thousand in the same period in 2005, the increases associated
primarily with increased advertising for deposit products.
Outside data processing costs were $181$385 thousand for the initial quarter infirst half of 2005, as
compared to $142$286 thousand in 2004, or an increase of 27%35%. The higher than usual
increase was due primarily to special charges associated with the Company's
conversion of certain core processing systems to new operating platforms.platforms and to
higher processing volumes.
Other expenses, increased from $743 thousand$1.5 million in the first quartersix months of 2004 to
$837 thousand$1.9 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005. The major components of
costs in this category include professional and consulting fees, ATM expenses,
telephone, courier, printing, business development, office supplies, charitable
contributions, and dues. These costs have been managed to an increase of 13%increased by 28% in the first threesix
months of 2005 as compared to 2004.
Noninterest expense was $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase
of 35%. The same factors which contributed to increased noninterest expense for
the six month period mentioned above also contributed to the increase in
noninterest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to
the same period in 2004.

Deposits and Other BorrowingsDEPOSITS AND OTHER BORROWINGS
The principal sources of funds for the Bank are core deposits, consisting of
demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and
certificates of deposits from the local market areas surrounding the Bank's
offices. The deposit base includes transaction accounts, time and savings
accounts and accounts which customers use for cash management and which provide
the Bank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities as well
as an attractive source of lower cost funds. Time and savings accounts,
including money market deposit accounts, also provide a relatively stable and
low-cost source of funding.
16
For the threesix months ending March 31,June 30, 2005 deposits grew $20.6$54.1 million, from $462.3
million to $482.9 million.$516.4 million or 12%.
Approximately 30%32% of the Bank's deposits are made up of certificates of
deposits, which are generally the most expensive form of deposit because of
their fixed rate and term. Certificates of deposit in denominations of $100
thousand or more can be more volatile and more expensive than certificates of
less than $100 thousand. However, because the Bank focuses on relationship
banking, and does not accept brokered certificates, its historical experience has been that large certificates of deposit
have not been more volatile or significantly more expensive than smaller
denomination certificates. It has been the practice of the Bank to pay posted
rates on its certificates of deposit whether under or over $100 thousand. From
time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, the Bank
accepts certificates of deposits, generally in denominations of less than $100
thousand from bank and credit union subscribers to a wholesale deposit rate line.line
and may also accept brokered deposits, although none exists at June 30, 2005.
These deposits amounted to approximately $16 million or 3% of total deposits at
March 31,June 30, 2005, as compared to approximately $33 million of deposits at March 31,June 30,
2004 and approximately $25 million at December 31, 2004. The Bank has found
rates on these deposits to be generally competitive with rates in our market
given the speed and minimal noninterest cost at which deposits can be acquired.
During the first quartersix months of 2005, the Bank reduced its wholesale deposits in
favor of its core sources, which provided adequate funding and liquidity and was
in accordance with planned amounts.
At March 31,June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $146 million in noninterest
bearing demand deposits, representing 30%28% of total deposits. This compared to
approximately $130 million of these deposits at December 31, 2004.2004 or 28% of
total deposits. These are primarily business checking accounts on which the
payment of interest is prohibited by regulations of the Federal Reserve.
Proposed legislation has been introduced in each of the last several sessions of
Congress which would permit banks to pay interest on checking and demand deposit
accounts established by businesses. If legislation effectively permitting the
payment of interest on business demand deposits is enacted, of which there can
be no assurance, it is likely that we may be required to pay interest on some
portion of our noninterest bearing deposits in order to compete with other
banks. Payment of interest on these deposits could have a significant negative
impact on our net interest income and net interest margin, net income, and the
return on assets and equity.
18
As an enhancement to the basic noninterest bearing demand deposit account, the
Company offers a sweep account, or "customer repurchase agreement", allowing
qualifying businesses to earn interest on short term excess funds which are not
suited for either a CD investment or a money market account. The balances in
these accounts were $39.5$26.4 million at March 31,June 30, 2005 compared to $24.0 million at
December 31, 2004. Customer repurchase agreements are not deposits and are not
insured but are collateralized by U.S. government agency securities. These
accounts are particularly suitable to businesses with significant fluctuation in
the levels of cash flows. Attorney and title company escrow accounts are an
example of accounts which can benefit from this product, as are customers who
may require collateral for deposits in excess of $100 thousand but do not
qualify for other pledging arrangements. This program requires the Company to
maintain a sufficient investment securities level to accommodate the
fluctuations in balances which may occur in these accounts.
At March 31,June 30, 2005, the Company had no outstanding balances under its lines of
credit provided by a correspondent bank.banks. The Bank had $5.3$4.3 million of FHLB
borrowings, as compared to $6.3 million at December 31, 2004. These advances are
secured 50% by U.S. government agency securities and 50% by a blanket lien on
qualifying loans in the Bank's commercial mortgage loan portfolio.
Liquidity ManagementLIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity is a measure of the Bank's ability to meet loan demand and to satisfy
depositor withdrawal requirements in an orderly manner. The Bank's primary
sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash balances due from correspondent
banks, loan repayments, federal funds sold and other short term investments,
maturities and sales of investment securities and income from operations. The
Bank's entire investment securities portfolio is in an available for sale status
which allows it maximum flexibility to generate cash from sales as needed to
meet ongoing loan demand. These sources of liquidity are primary and are
supplemented by the ability of the Company and Bank to borrow funds, which are
termed secondary sources. The Company maintains secondary sources of liquidity,
which includes a $10 million line of credit with a correspondent bank, against
which there were no outstandings at March 31,June 30, 2005. Additionally, the Bank can
purchase up to $24$27 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis from its
correspondents, against which there were no borrowings outstanding at March 31,June 30,
2005 and may enter into reverse repurchase agreements up to $12.5 million,
provided adequate collateral exists to secure the lending relationship. At March 31,June
30, 2005, the Bank was also eligible to make advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) up to $115$120 million, of which it had advances outstanding
of $5.3$4.3 million.
17
The loss of deposits, through disintermediation, is one of the greater risks to
liquidity. Disintermediation occurs most commonly when rates rise and depositors
withdraw deposits seeking higher rates than the Bank may offer. The Bank was
founded under a philosophy of relationship banking and, therefore, believes that
it has less of an exposure to disintermediation and resultant liquidity concerns
than do many banks. There is, however, a risk that some deposits would be lost
if rates were to increase and the Bank elected not to remain competitive with
its deposit rates. Under those conditions, the Bank believes that it is well
positioned to use other liability management instruments such as FHLB borrowing,
reversecustomer repurchase agreements and Bank lines to offset a decline in deposits in
the short run. Over the long term, an adjustment in assets and change in
business emphasis could compensate for a loss of deposits. The Bank also
maintains a marketable investment portfolio to provide flexibility in the event
of significant liquidity needs. The Bank's Asset Liability Board Committee
recently adopted policy guidelines which emphasize the importance of core
deposits and their continued growth.
At March 31,June 30, 2005, under the Company'sBank's liquidity formula, it had $110$164 million of
primary and secondary liquidity representing 19.6%27.3% of Banktotal bank assets.

Asset/Liability Management and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about
Market RiskASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT
MARKET RISK
A fundamental risk in banking is exposure to market risk, or interest rate risk,
since a bank's net income is largely dependent on net interest income. The
Bank's Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Board of Directors formulates and
monitors the management of interest rate risk through policies and guidelines
established by it and the full Board of Directors. In its consideration of risk
limits, the ALCO considers the impact on earnings and capital, the level and
direction of interest rates, liquidity, local economic conditions, outside
threats and other factors. Banking is generally a business of managing the
maturity mismatch inherent in its asset and liability cash flows and to provide
net interest income growth consistent with the Company's profit objectives.
The Company, through its ALCO, monitors the interest rate environment in which
it operates and adjusts the rates and maturities of its assets and liabilities
to remain competitive and to achieve its overall financial objectives subject to
established risk limits. In the current interest rate environment, the Company
is managing its assets to be either variably priced or with relatively short
maturities, so as to mitigate the risk to earnings and capital should interest
rates increase from current levels. At the same time, the Bank seeks to acquire
longer-term core deposits to lock in relatively lower cost funds. In the current
market, due to competitive factors and customer preferences, the effort to
attract longer term fixed priced liabilities has not been as successful as the
Company's best case asset liability mix would prefer. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to successfully carry out this intention, as a
result of competitive pressures, customer preferences and the inability to
perfectly forecast future interest rates.
One of the tools used by the Company to manage its interest rate risk is a
static GAP analysis presented below. The Company also uses an earnings
simulation model on a quarterly basis to closely monitor interest sensitivity
and to model its balance sheet cash flows and its income statement effects in
different interest rate scenarios. The model is based on current Bank and
Company data and is adjusted byfor assumptions as to growth, noninterest income
and noninterest expense and interest rate sensitivity, based on historical data,
for both assets and liabilities. The data is then subjected to a "shock test",
which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rate up 200 basis points or down
200 basis points, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero. The results
are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, net income over the next
twelve months and to the market value of equity. The Company analysis at March
31,June
30, 2005 shows a positive effect on income when interest rates are shocked up
200 basis points, due to the significant level of variable rate loans. A
negative impact occurs if rates were to decline. With rates near historic lows,at a relative low
level, further reductioninterest rate declines would reduce income on earning assets,
which could not be offset by a corresponding reduction in the cost of funds,
potentially resulting in significant net interest margin contraction. 18
The
Company has recently concluded, based on market factors, that larger increases
in its retail deposit rate assumptions are probable in a rising interest rate
environment. While the impact of higher interest rates continues to be viewed as
positive to future net interest income and market values of equity, this change
in assumptions moderates the benefits of such higher interest rates, as
compared to analyses in prior periods.
The following table reflects the result of a shock simulation on the March 31,June 30,
2005 balances.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or repricing periods, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market
rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have
features that limit changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the
life of the loan. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment and early withdrawalw.ithdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those
assumed in calculating the tables. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to
service their debt may decrease in the event of a significant interest rate
increase.
GapGAP POSITION
Banks and other financial institutions are dependent upon net interest income,
which is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest
expense on interest bearing liabilities.
In falling interest rate environments, net interest income is maximized with
longer term, higher yielding assets being funded by lower yielding short-term
funds, or what is referred to as a negative mismatch or GAP. Conversely, in a
rising interest rate environment, net interest income is maximized with shorter
term, higher yielding assets being funded by longer-term liabilities or what is
referred to as a positive mismatch or GAP.
The current interest rate environment is signaling steady to possibly higher
rates. Management has been emphasizing the acquisition of variable rate and
shorter term assets and has been attempting to secure longer-term core deposits.
While management believes that this overall position creates a good balance in
managing its interest rate risk and maximizing its net interest margin within
plan objectives, there can be no assurance as to actual results.
The GAP position, which is a measure of the difference in maturity and
re-pricing volume between assets and liabilities, is a means of monitoring the
sensitivity of a financial institution to changes in interest rates. The chart
below provides an indication of the rate sensitivity of the Company. A negative
GAP indicates the degree to which the volume of repriceable liabilities exceeds
repriceable assets in given time periods. At March 31,June 30, 2005, the Bank had a
positive GAP of 36%22% out to three months and a cumulative positivenegative GAP of 4%5% out
to twelve months, as compared to a three month positive GAP of 38% and a
cumulative twelve month positive GAP of 8% at December 31, 2004. The change in
the GAP position at June 30, 2005 as compared to December 31, 2004 relates
primarily to a change in the repricing assumption related to money market
deposits to a shorter repricing timeframe. This change was made to reflect the
Company's actual practices and experience over the past six months.
If interest rates continue to rise at a measured pace, as forecasters are
predicting, the Bank's interest income and margin are expected to be stable to
slightly up because of the present positive mismatch position. Because
competitive market behavior does not necessarily track the trend of interest
rates but at times moves ahead of financial market influences, the rise in the
cost of liabilities may be greater than anticipated by the GAP model. If this
were to occur, the benefits of a rising interest rate environment would not be
as significant as management is expecting. Management has carefully considered
its strategy to maximize interest income by reviewing interest rate levels,
economic indicators and call features within its investment portfolio. These
factors have been discussed with the Board of Directors Asset Liability
Committee and management believes that current strategies are appropriate to
current economic and interest rate trends.

Although NOW and MMA accounts are subject to immediate repricing, the Bank's GAP
model has incorporated a repricing schedule to account for a lag in rate changes
based on our experience, as measured by the amount of those deposit rate changes
relative to the amount of rate change in assets.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY
The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset
quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and
economic forces, and the overall level of growth. The adequacy of the Company's
current and future capital needs is monitored by management on an ongoing basis.
Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate
level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential
losses.
22
The capital position of both the Company and the Bank continues to exceed
regulatory requirements to be considered well-capitalized. The primary
indicators used by bank regulators in measuring the capital position are the
tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the total risk-based capital ratio, and the
tier 1 leverage ratio. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying
preferred stockholders' equity less intangibles. Total risk-based capital
consists of Tier 1 capital, qualifying subordinated debt, and a portion of the
allowance for credit losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with
reference to risk-weighted assets. The tier 1 leverage ratio measures the ratio
of tier 1 capital to total average assets for the most recent three month
period.
The ability of the Company to continue to grow is dependent on its earnings and
the ability to obtain additional funds for contribution to the Bank's capital,
through additional borrowing, the sale of additional common stock, the sale of
preferred stock, or through the issuance of additional qualifying equity
equivalents, such as subordinated debt or trust preferred securities.

ITEM 4. Controls and ProceduresCONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated as of the last day of the period covered by this report the
effectiveness of the operation of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were
adequate.
Duringeffective.
There were no changes in the first quarter of 2005, the Company established a Disclosure
Controls Committee consisting of Board and Senior Management members. The
Committee has adopted a charter and meets prior to the finalizing of financial
press releases and the Company's reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q in order to
discuss and review material financial information and related information
contained in those releases for accuracy and completeness. This new internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Act of 1934) was not adopted as a corrective actionduring
the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or as a result of any
identified material weaknesses or deficiency inis reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting, but as an enhancement and supplement to existing internal control
procedures. The Company expects that this committee will provide additional
opportunity for assurance as to the financial reporting process and is judged by
the Company to be a best practice.
