The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year, or for any other period.

The unrealized losses that exist are the result of market changes in market interest rates since the original purchases. All of the U.S. Government agency and mortgage backed securitiesbonds are rated AAA. The weighted average life of debt securities, which comprise 93% of total investment securities is relatively short at 2.3 years. 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 in nature. 4.7 5. INCOME TAXES The Company usesemploys 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. 5.6. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earningsEarnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earningsnet 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.stock options. As of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 there were no option59,250 shares as compared to 54,360 option shares at September 30, 2004 that were excluded from the diluted net income per share computation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2004, have been adjusted to reflect a 1.3 for one stock split in the form of a 30% stock dividend affected on February 28, 2005. 6. STOCK BASED7. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has adoptedmaintains the disclosure-only provisions1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan provides for the periodic granting of SFAS No. 123 "Accountingincentive and non-qualifying options to selected key employees and members of the Board. Options for Stock-Based Compensation" and applies the intrinsic value methodnot more than 1,142,732 shares 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 nine or three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on fair value at the grant dates for awardscommon stock may be granted under the Plan consistentand the term of such options shall not exceed ten years. Option awards are made with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's shares at the date of grant. The option grants generally vest over a period of one to two years. The Company also maintains the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Under the ESPP, a total of 195,000 shares of common stock, were reserved for issuance to eligible employees at a price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. Grants each year expire no later than the last business day of January in the calendar year following the year in which the grant is made. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net incomefollowing weighted average assumptions used for grants during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and earnings per share wouldthe year ended December 31, 2005. For periods prior to 2006, the Company used the average of the option term and the vesting period to estimate the life of the option. The options granted in the first quarter of 2006 were for 34,099 shares under the ESPP which have been changed toa one-year term and vest immediately upon grant, and for 1,500 shares granted under the pro forma amounts as follows1998 Plan.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", which is a revisionAs of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and amends SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No, 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure of compensation cost, which is contained in Note 6 on page 8 is applicable will no longer be permitted. The new standard is effective for the Company in the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005 (i.e. calendar year 2006). The impact of this Statement on the Company in periods subsequent to December 31, 2005, will dependthere was $128 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested shares under the 1988 Plan. There was no unrecognized compensation cost under the ESPP. The $128 thousand cost is being amortized ratably over calendar year 2006 based on a number of factors, includingthe remaining vesting period. Through March 31, 2006, $32 thousand has been recognized in compensation practices, newcost related to those grants. In February 2006, the Company granted options for 34,099 shares under the ESPP. These awards modifications and cancellations of existing awards,were vested 100% at grant and the applicationfair value of alternative option pricing assumptions.the awards was expensed in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This amount was $138 thousand. In MayFebruary, the Company granted 1,500 shares under the 1998 Plan. In total, the Company recognized $170 thousand in share based compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 ($0.02 per share) as compared to $0 compensation expense recognized for the first quarter of 2005, as a new accounting rule under FAS123R was adopted as of January 1, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, share based compensation at 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 ChangesCompany was disclosed in Interim Financial Statements". This Statement changes the requirements for and reporting of a changefootnote, as pro-forma information, in accounting principle, and all voluntary changes inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles as well as changes required by an accounting pronouncement inopposed to recognition within 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 determineStatement of Operations. For the period-specific effects orfirst quarter of 2005, 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. 8 ITEMpro-forma share based compensation amount was $432 thousand ($0.06 per share).

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 consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the consolidated 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. 910 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 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 in the risk rating evaluation as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, are segregated from non-classified 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-classified loans due to management's concerns regarding collectibility or management's knowledge of particular elements regarding the borrower.based on an impairment analysis. Allowance factors relate to the level of the internal risk rating. The nonspecific or environmental factors allowance is used toan estimate theof potential loss of the 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 the loan review system and the effect of external factors such as competition and regulatory requirements. The environmental 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.formula. 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. Alternatively, errors in management's perception and assessment of the global factors and their impact on the portfolio could result in the allowance being in excess of amounts necessary to cover losses in the portfolio, and may result in lower provisioning in the future. For additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses, refer to the discussion under the caption "Allowance for Credit Losses" below. 10 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Company reported net income of $5.5$2.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, as compared to net income of $3.3$1.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2004. EarningsMarch 31, 2005, an increase of 20%. Income per basic share was $0.77$0.27 for the nine month periodthree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, as compared to $0.46$0.23 same period in 2005. Income per diluted share was $0.26 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $0.22 for the same period in 2004. Earnings per diluted share was $0.73 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $0.44 for the same period in 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of $2.3 million as compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2004. Earnings per basic share was $.32 and $.30 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $.14 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2004. Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 have been adjusted to reflect a 1.3 for one stock spilt in the form of a 30% stock dividend affected on February 28, 20052005. 11 The Company had an annualized return on average assets of 1.23%1.20% for both the first three months of 2006 and 2005 and an annualized return on average equity of 12.07%12.08% for the first ninethree months of 2005,2006, as compared to returnsa return on average assets and average equity of 0.92% and 7.91%, respectively,11.32% for the same ninethree months of 2004.2005. The return on equity increase resulted from additional leveraging of the equity position. The ratio of average equity to average assets declined from 10.57% for the first quarter of 2005 to 9.93% for the first quarter of 2006. As discussed below, the capital ratios of the Bank and Company remain above well capitalized levels. The increase in net income for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 as compared to the same period in 20042005, can be attributed substantially to an increase of 49%21% in net interest income, resulting from an increase of 28%20% in average earning assets and ana modest increase in the net interest spread of 57 basis points and the net interest margin of 74three basis points between the comparable periods.periods to 5.01%. The net interest margin increase was due to the increased value of non-interest funding sources during a period of substantial increases in market interest rates. Since June 2004,March 2005, the Federal Reserve Bank has increased the federal funds target rate by 275 basis points2.00% to 3.75%4.75% in eleveneight interest rate increases of 25 basis points. Since the Company's non-interest funding sources comprise approximately 30% of average earning assets, this effect has been substantial. The value of non-interest sources (defined as the difference between the net interest margin and the net interest spread) increased to 89 basis points each. The impactfor the first quarter of these2006 from 40 basis points for the first quarter of 2005, while the average growth of noninterest sources funding earning assets amounted to $26 million or 17% between the first quarter of 2006 and 2005. While the net interest rate increasesmargin has contributedincreased due to the improvementfavorable position of noninterest funding sources, the net interest spread (defined as the difference between the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities) declined for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the same period in the Company's margin in the past several quarters.2005 from 4.58% to 4.12%. While the averageinterest rate on earning assets for the nine month period has risen by 102125 basis points from 5.23%for the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 6.25%,2005, the cost of interest bearing liabilities has increased by only 45171 basis points, from 1.31%due to 1.76%. Additionally, the growth inproportion of average noninterest bearingtime deposits funding sources for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 2004 has been $49 million or 32%. This significant growth in noninterest bearing funding sources has increased the benefit of noninterest sources fundingaverage earning assets from 35 basis pointsincreasing to 31% for the first nine months in 2004 to 52 basis pointsquarter of 2006 from 27% for the nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2005. Thus, theThe Company has been ableacquired these higher levels of average time deposits to increasefund a portion of its primary source of funds (core deposits) at rates which have allowed its net interest spread and margin to increaseaverage loan growth in the first nine monthsquarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.2006 over 2005. As a result of competitive pressures and growth objectives, the rates paid on interest bearing deposits which have not increased as much or as rapidly asand interest rates on earning assets,bearing liabilities 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 impacted.affected. Loans, which generally have higher yields than securities and other earning assets, increased from 78%81% of average earning assets in the first ninethree months of 20042005 to 83%86% of average earning assets for the same period of 2005.2006. Investment securities forin the first nine monthsquarter of 20052006 amounted to 13%11% of average earning assets as compared to 16%12% for the first ninethree months in 2004.2005. This decline in the proportion of investment securities was directly related to average loan growth over the past twelve month period exceeding the growth of average deposit and other funding sources. The provision for credit losses was $1.3 million$115 thousand for the first nine monthsquarter in 20052006 as compared to $457$417 thousand for the same period in 2004.2005. This increasedecrease was attributable to the lower rate of growth in the loan portfolio in the first nine monthsquarter of 2006 which was 1%, as compared to the first quarter of 2005, which growth was very favorable.5%. As discussed in the section on Allowance for Credit Losses, the Company had $55just $15 thousand of net charge-offs in the first nine monthsquarter of 2005.2006. This compared to net recoveries on previously charged-off loans of $39$6 thousand for the first ninethree months of 2004.2005. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the allowance for credit losses was $5.5$6.1 million or 1.10% of total loans, as compared to $4.7 million or 1.07% of total loans at March 31, 2005 and $6.0 million or 1.09% of total loans as compared to $4.2 million or 1.15% of total loans at September 30, 2004 and $4.2 million or 1.02% of total loans at December 31, 2004. The provision for credit losses was $424 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared2005. Noninterest income decreased 19%, to $227 thousand for the same period in 2004, the increase attributable primarily to growth in the level of outstanding loans. 11 Total noninterest income was $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2005 as compared to $2.6 million for 2004, a 22% increase. These amounts include net investment gains of $281$840 thousand for the first ninethree months of 2005 and $193 thousand in 2004. Excluding gains on the sale of investment securities, noninterest income was $2.92006, from $1.0 million in 2005 versus $2.4 million for 2004, an increasethe same period of 20%. This increase2005. The decline was dueattributed primarily to increasedlower amounts of gains on the sale of SBA loans and SBA service fees which amounted to $881$138 thousand forin the first nine months in 2005 versus $454 thousand for 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, total noninterest income was $1.2 millionquarter of 2006 as compared to $697$385 thousand for the same period in 2004. These amounts include net investment gains of $269 thousand for2005. Activity in SBA loan sales to secondary markets can vary widely from quarter to quarter. EagleBank has been recognized as the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to net investment losses of $60 thousand for the same quarterleading community bank SBA lender in 2004. Excluding gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities, noninterest income was $970 thousand for the third quarter of 2005, versus $757 thousand for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 28%. This increase was due substantially to an increaseits marketplace and continued emphasis in this business is anticipated. The decline in gains on the sale of SBA loans was partially offset by an increase in deposit service charges, which amounted to $324 thousand in the initial quarter of 2006, as compared to $269 thousand for the same period in 2005, a 20% increase. These service charge increases are associated primarily with new relationships acquired in the first quarter of 2006. Gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans were $38 thousand for the first quarter of 2006, as compared to $110 thousand for the same period in 2005. The Company is in the process of renewing its efforts to expand residential mortgage lending and associated sale of these assets on a servicing 12 released basis. Other noninterest income increased to $340 thousand in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to $275 thousand for the same quarter in 2005, a 24% increase, due primarily to higher loan prepayment and commitment fees. NoninterestNon-interest expenses increased from $11.1 million in the first nine months of 2004 to $14.1were $5.2 million for the first nine monthsquarter of 2006, as compared to $4.5 million for 2005, ana 17% increase. The primary reasons for this increase of 27%. The increase was attributable primarily towere increases in personnelstaff levels and related benefitpersonnel cost, director fees, $170 thousand of costs associated with share based compensation under new accounting expensing rules, occupancy cost increases, higher amounts of incentive based compensation, increased premises and equipment expenses costs, due in part to new banking offices, and to higher marketing, outside data processing, licensing, and other professional fees associated with a larger organization. In spiteThe efficiency ratio, which is a measure of higher amountsthe level of noninterest expenses to revenue, was only slightly higher in the Company's stronger growth in revenuefirst quarter of 2006 at 60.14%, as compared to noninterest expenses resulted in the efficiency ratio improving in the first nine months of 2005 to 58.52% as compared to 66.74% for the first nine months in 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, total noninterest expenses were $4.7 million, as compared to $4.0 million59.56% for the same period in 2004, an increase2005. The company emphasizes the efficiency ratio as a measure of 19%. This increase was due to the same factors mentioned above which affected the increase for the nine month period.noninterest expense control. The combination of increases in net interest income, attributedprimarily from increased amounts of average loans in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to both increased volume and favorable interest rate effects and increases in noninterest income, offset in part by increases in the2005, a reduced provision for credit losses due to a lower rate of growth in loans in the first three months of 2006, lower amounts of noninterest income and increases in noninterest expenses, resulted in significantan improvement in netreported income for the first nine monthsquarter of 20052006 versus 2004 of 68%2005.

The following table sets out the annualized returns on average assets, returns on average equity and equity to assets (average) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2004: September September December 2005 2004 2004 --------- --------- -------- Return on average assets 1.23% 0.92% 1.04% Return on average equity 12.07% 7.91% 9.16% Average equity to average assets 10.22% 11.68% 11.38% NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGINNet 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, which comprise federal funds purchased and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.borrowings. Noninterest bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources.sources, which factors have been significant in the first quarter of 2006 versus 2005 (refer to discussion above under Results of Operations). 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 ninethree months of 20052006 was $20.9$7.8 million compared to $14.0$6.5 million for the first ninethree months of 2004,2005, a 49%21% increase. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net interest income amounted to $7.5 million, as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2004, also a 49% increase. 12 The following table below 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, since the net interest marginperformance. Margin includes the effect of noninterest bearing sources in its calculation which are significant factors in the Company's financial performance.

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 Federalfederal 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. Following are tables ofAlso, refer to the following table which reflects the comparative charge-offs and recoveries data as well as information on the Company's non-performing and potential problem loans.of prior loan charge-offs information. During the first ninethree months of 2005,2006, a provision for credit losses was made in the amount of $1.3 million$115 thousand and the allowance for credit losses increased $1.3 million,$100 thousand, including the impact of a modest amount of$15 thousand in net credit losses of $55 thousandcharge-offs during the period. The provision for credit losses of $1.3 million$115 thousand in the first ninethree months of 20052006 compared to a provision for credit losses of $457$417 thousand in the first ninethree months of 2004.2005. The higherlower level of the provision in 20052006 is primarily attributable primarily to significanta slower rate of loan growth in the loan portfolio in the first nine months of 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, a provision for credit losses was made in the amount of $424 thousand, as compared to $227 thousand for the same period in 2004, the higher provision being due to growth in the portfolio in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and to accommodate a higher level of net-charge offs. For the third quarter of 2005, net charge-offs amounted to $83 thousand as compared to $8 thousand for the same period in 2004.2006. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company had $211 thousand$6.2 million of loans classified as nonaccrual as compared to $156$491 thousand at December 31, 20042005 and $2.4 million$151 thousand at September 30, 2004, which included one large credit of $2.2 million which was collected in full in the fourth quarter of 2004.March 31, 2005. The Company had no restructured loans or real estate owned at September 30, 2005,either, March 31, 2006, December 31, 20042005 or September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005. 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.borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio. The Company had no other real estate owned (OREO) properties at March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 or March 31, 2005. The balance of impaired loans was $211$409 thousand at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, with specific reserves against those loans of $27$260 thousand, compared to $156$151 thousand at DecemberMarch 31, 20042005 with specific reserves of $31$57 thousand. The significant increase in non-accrual loans in the first quarter of 2006 was due principally to two real estate loans placed on non-accrual status in first quarter, which management has been monitoring closely, believes are well secured and for which no principal loss is anticipated. The allowance for creditloan losses represented 1.09%1.10% of total loans at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006 as compared to 1.02%1.09% at December 31, 2004.2005. This increase in the ratio of the allowance in the first quarter was due to ana slight increase in the allocation factors contained in the allowance methodology and to modifications in the environmental factors allowance.of the non-specific reserve component related to various factors including potential impacts of higher interest rates on debt service capacity and on real estate values. As part of its comprehensive loan review process, the Company's Board of Directors and the Bank'sBank Director's Loan Committee and or Board of Director's Credit Review CommitteeCommittees 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 creditpossible loan losses will continue to be a primary management objective ofin the Company. 1415 The following table sets forth activity in the allowance for credit losses for the periods indicated.

The loans were placed on nonaccrual due to past due status, construction cost overruns, and/or delays in completion of the associated projects. The Company continues to monitor these credits. Based upon the Company's review of third party appraisals of the underlying collateral, the addition of supplementary collateral, guarantors, and additional equity contributions, the Company believes it will not incur a principal loss in connection with the resolution of these loans. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, there were $626 thousandan additional $1.1 million of performing loans considered potential problem loans, defined as loans which are not included in the 90 day past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories, but for which known information about possible credit problems causes management to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which may in the future result in disclosure in the past due, non-accrualnonaccrual or restructured loan categories. NONINTEREST INCOMENoninterest Income Noninterest income consists primarily of deposit account service charges, gains on the sale of SBA and residential mortgage loans, investment gains and losses, other noninterest loan fees, income from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") and other service fees.

This compared to $2.6$1.0 million of noninterest income for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005, a decline of 19% due primarily to a lower amount of gains on the sale of SBA loans.

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. For the ninethree months ending September 30, 2005March 31, 2006, noninterest bearing deposits grew $83.3declined $15.3 million from $462.3due to seasonal factors, while interest bearing deposits increased by $17.7 million, primarily due to $545.6 million or 18%.growth in time deposits. Approximately 36%37% of the Bank's deposits at March 31, 2006 are made up of time deposits, which are generally the most expensive form of deposit because of their fixed rate and term. These deposits have shown good increases in the second and third quartersCertificates of 2005 as the Bank has more emphasized these funding sources. Time deposit in denominations of $100 thousand or more can be more volatile and more expensive than time depositscertificates of less than $100 thousand. However, because the Bank focuses on relationship banking, its historical experience has been that large time depositscertificates 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 timecertificates of deposit whether under or over $100 thousand.thousand, although some exceptions have been made for large deposit transactions. From time to time, when appropriate in order to fund strong loan demand, the Bank accepts timecertificates of deposits, generally in denominations of less than $100 thousand from bank and credit union subscribers to a wholesale deposit rate line and may also accept brokered deposits. Wholesaleline. These deposits amounted to approximately $12$9 million or 2% of total deposits at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, as compared to approximately $29$16 million of deposits at September 30, 2004March 31, 2005 and approximately $25$11 million at December 31, 2004.2005. 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 nine 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 September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $141$150 million in noninterest bearing demand deposits, representing 26% of total deposits. This compared to approximately $130$165 million of these deposits at December 31, 2004 or 28% of total2005, the lower balances due to seasonal declines in commercial deposits. These deposits are primarily business checking accounts on which the payment of interest is prohibited by regulations of the Federal Reserve. Proposed 19 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 certificate of depositCD investment or a money market account. The balances in these accounts were $31.5 million at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to $24.0$32.1 million at December 31, 2004.2005. 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 September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company had no outstanding balances under its lines of credit provided by a correspondent banks.bank. The Bank had $4.0$20.0 million of FHLB borrowings, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), as compared to $6.3 millionno balances outstanding at December 31, 2004.2005. These advances are secured 50% by U.S. government agency securities and 50%primarily by a blanket lien on qualifying loans in the Bank's commercial mortgage loan portfolio. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENTThe Bank obtained advances during the first quarter of 2006 to compensate for weaker seasonal flows in core deposits. Liquidity 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 termshort-term investments, maturities and sales of investment securities and income from operations. The Bank's entire investment securities portfolio is in an available for saleavailable-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 outstandingsamounts outstanding at September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. Additionally, the Bank can purchase up to $37 million in federal funds on an unsecured basis and $5.5 million on a secured basis from its correspondents, against which there were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2005 and may enter into repurchase agreements up to $12.5 million, provided adequate collateral exists to secure the lending relationship.March 31, 2006. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Bank was also eligible to take advances from the FHLB up to $120$79 million based on collateral at the FHLB, of which it had $20 million of advances outstanding of $4.0 million.at March 31, 2006. Also, the Bank may enter into repurchase agreements as well as obtaining additional borrowing capabilities from the FHLB provided adequate collateral exists to secure these lending relationships. 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 in alternative savings and investment sources 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 sources of funds such as FHLB borrowings, customer repurchase agreements and Bank lines of credit to offset a decline in deposits in the short run. Over the long term,long-term, an adjustment in assets and change in business emphasis could compensate for a potential loss of deposits. The Bank also maintains a marketable investment portfolio to provide flexibility in the event of significant liquidity needs. The Bank'sBank Board's Asset Liability Board Committee recentlyhas adopted policy guidelines which emphasize the importance of core deposits and their continued growth. 20 At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, under the Bank's liquidity formula, it had $187$208 million of primary and secondary liquidity sources, which was deemed adequate to meet current and projected funding needs. 19 The following is a schedule of significant funding commitments at September 30, 2005:March 31, 2006: (in thousands) -------------- Unused lines of credit (consumer) $ 52,92962,507 Other commitments to extend credit 167,671157,917 Standby letters of credit 3,959 ----------4,041 --------- Total $ 224,559 ========== ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK224,465 ========= Asset/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)("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 and re-pricing 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 termlonger-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,achieve its optimal asset liability mix, 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 (simulation analysis) on a quarterly basis to closely monitor its interest rate sensitivity and risk and to model its balance sheet cash flows and its income statement effects in different interest rate scenarios. The model is based onutilizes current Bankbalance sheet data and Company dataattributes and is adjusted for assumptions as to growth,investment maturities (calls), loan prepayments, interest rates, the level of noninterest income and noninterest expense and interest rate sensitivity, based on historical data, for both assets and liabilities.expense. The data is then subjected to a "shock test", which assumes a simultaneous change in interest rate up 100 and 200 basis points or down 100 and 200 basis points, along the entire yield curve, but not below zero. The results are analyzed as to the impact on net interest income, and net income over the next twelve monthsand twenty four month periods and to the market value of equity.equity impact. The Company analysis at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 shows a positive effect on income when interest rates are shocked up 100 and 200 basis points, due to the significant level of variable rate loans. A negative impact occurs if rates were to decline. With rates at a relative low level, further interestdecline based on the Company's asset sensitive position. Interest rate declines would reduce income on earning assets which could not be offset by a corresponding reductionmore than the benefit of reductions in the cost of funds, potentially resulting in significant net interest margin contraction. The Company concluded in the second quarter of 2005, based on market factors and its recent experience, that larger increases in its retail deposit rate assumptions are probablewould likely occur in a rising interest rate environment and modified its model assumptions to reflect more rate sensitivity within the core deposit base. While the impact of higher interest rates continues to be viewed as positive to future net interest income and market values of equity, this assumption change in assumptions moderatesmoderated the benefits of such higher interest rates assumptions, as compared to earlier analysis. 21 The following table reflects the result of a shock simulation on the September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 balances.
Percentage change in Change in interest Percentage change Percentage change rates (basis in net interest Percentage change in Market Value of rates (basis points) interest income in net income Portfolio Equity -------------------- --------------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------------- +200 + 4.5%3.0% +8.1% + 11.7% + .7%.8% +100 + 2.3% + 6.0 % + .6%+1.5% +4.2% +1.3% 0 - - - -100 - 3.4% - 8.8% - 2.9%-2.7% -7.5% -3.0% -200 - 8.6% - 22.5.% - 8.8%-6.5% -17.6% -7.1%
20 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 withdrawal 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. GAP POSITIONGap Banks and other financial institutions earnings are significantly 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 higher interest 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 September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company had a positive cumulative GAP position of 19%approximately 14% out to three months and a negative cumulative negative GAP position of 5%-1% out to twelve months, as compared to a three month positive GAP of 38%9% and a cumulative twelve month positive GAP of 8%3% at December 31, 2004.2005. The change in the GAP position at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 20042005 relates primarily to a change in the re-pricing assumption for money marketmix of deposits to a shorter time-frame, adopted in the second quarter of 2005. This change was made to recognize the Company's actual practices and experience over the first six months of 2005.toward more time deposits with maturities within 12 months. The current position is within guideline limits established by ALCO. If interest rates continue to rise, at a measured pace, as many 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.position combined with a more competitive business environment for both deposits and loans. 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 wouldmay not be as significant as management is expecting.in accordance with management's expectations. 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 CommitteeALCO and management believes that current strategies are appropriate to current economic and interest rate trends. 2122 GAP ANALYSIS SEPTEMBER 30, 2005MARCH 31, 2006 (dollars in thousand)

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. 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 Tiertier 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. 22 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. 23 Capital The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and Bank as of September 30,March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 and September 30, 2004 are presented in the table below:
