Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and for the interim periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Communitycorp’s 2008 Annual Report.
NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements:
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “TheFASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 establishes theFASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM(“Codification”) as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities. The Codification does not change GAAP. Instead, it takes the thousands of individual pronouncements that currently comprise GAAP and reorganizes them into approximately 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure. Contents in each Topic are further organized first by Subtopic, then Section and finally Paragraph. The Paragraph level is the only level that contains substantive content. Citing particular content in the Codification involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure. FASB suggests that all citations begin with “FASB ASC,” where ASC stands forAccounting Standards Codification. Changes to the ASC subsequent to June 30, 2009 are referred to as Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”).
In conjunction with the issuance of SFAS 168, the FASB also issued its first Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-1, “Topic 105 –Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU 2009-1”) which includes SFAS 168 in its entirety as a transition to the ASC. ASU 2009-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations but will change the referencing system for accounting standards. Certain of the following pronouncements were issued prior to the issuance of the ASC and adoption of the ASUs. For such pronouncements, citations to the applicable Codification by Topic, Subtopic and Section are provided where applicable in addition to the original standard type and number.
In December 2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 132(R)-1 (FASB ASC 715-20-65), “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” (“FSP SFAS 132(R)-1”). This FSP provides guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The objective of the FSP is to provide the users of financial statements with an understanding of: (a) how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; (b) the major categories of plan assets; (c) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (d) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period; and (e) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The FSP also requires a nonpublic entity, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 132, to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each period for which a statement of income is presented. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Staff Position will require the Company to provide additional disclosures related to its benefit plan.

NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT-(continued)
The FASB issued SFAS 166 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” (“SFAS 166”) in June 2009. SFAS 166 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire financial asset by taking into consideration the transferor’s continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is removed from SFAS 140 along with the exception from applying FIN 46(R). The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS 167 (not yet reflected in FASB ASC), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (“SFAS 167”) was also issued in June 2009. The standard amends FIN 46(R) to require a company to analyze whether its interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) gives it a controlling financial interest. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary beneficiary is also required by the standard. SFAS 167 amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were available under FIN 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.
The FASB issued ASU 2009–05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” in August, 2009 to provide guidance when estimating the fair value of a liability. When a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, fair value should be measured using (a) the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset; (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets; or (c) another valuation technique consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income approach or a market approach. If a restriction exists that prevents the transfer of the liability, a separate adjustment related to the restriction is not required when estimating fair value. The ASU was effective October 1, 2009 for the Company and will have no impact on financial position or operations.
ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent),” issued in September, 2009, allows a company to measure the fair value of an investment that has no readily determinable fair market value on the basis of the investee’s net asset value per share as provided by the investee. This allowance assumes that the investee has calculated net asset value in accordance with the GAAP measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. Examples of such investments include investments in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds and venture capital funds. The update also provides guidance on how the investment should be classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the value for which the investment can be redeemed. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not have investments in such entities and, therefore, there will be no impact to our financial statements.
ASU 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” was issued in October, 2009 and provides guidance on accounting for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit utilizing a selling price hierarchy to determine the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price is based on vendor-specific evidence, third-party evidence or estimated selling price. The amendments in the Update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT-(continued)
Issued October, 2009, ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” amends ASC Topic 470 and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance. At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs. The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement. The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The Company has no plans to issue convertible debt and, therefore, does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows
| | |
Level 1 | | Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
| |
Level 2 | | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
| |
Level 3 | | Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. |
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities Available-for-Sale - Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

There were no liabilities carried at fair value at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but subject to fair value in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment that may require write-downs. The write-downs of the Company’s more significant assets or liabilities, which are measured on a nonrecurring basis are based on the lower of amortized or estimated fair value.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Impaired Loans - The Company is predominantly an asset-based lender with real estate serving as collateral on a substantial majority of loans. Loans that are deemed impaired are primarily valued on a nonrecurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs.
Other Real Estate Owned - Other real estate owned consists of assets acquired in settlement of loans, and is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value is dependent primarily upon independent appraisals, which the Company considers level 2 inputs.
The table below presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (continued)
Fair Value Disclosures
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. Premise and equipment, accrued interest receivable, other assets, accrued interest payable and other liabilities are not considered financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:
Cash and Due from Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Federal Funds Sold - Federal funds sold are typically for a term of one day, and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.
Time Deposits with Other Banks- The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities - The fair values of marketable securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For securities available-for-sale, fair value equals the carrying amount, which is the quoted market price. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. The carrying amount of nonmarketable securities is a reasonable estimate of fair value since no ready market exists for these securities.
Loans Receivable - For certain categories of loans receivable, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk and credit card receivables, fair values are based on the carrying amounts. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to the borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Demand Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, interest–bearing transaction, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.
Short-term Borrowings - The carrying value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one to seven days.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. These comments should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this report. This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management, as well assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate” and “believe,” as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the Company’s operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
The largest component of total income is net interest income, the difference between the income earned on assets and the interest accrued or paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. The volume and mix of assets and liabilities and their sensitivity to interest rate movement determine changes in net interest income. Net interest margin is determined by dividing annualized net interest income by average earning assets. Net interest spread is derived from determining the weighted-average rate of interest paid on deposits and borrowings and subtracting them from the weighted-average yield on earning assets.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $4,084,693, compared to $4,342,875 for the same period last year, a decrease of $258,152, or 5.94 %. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, net interest income was $1,389,655 compared to $1,562,928 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $173,273, or 11.09%. The decrease in both periods was significantly impacted by the decline of the excess of interest earnings assets over interest bearing liabilities, which was $8,336,069 and $10,439,461 for the nine and three months September 30, 2009, respectively. However, this was mitigated by the average volume of approximately 97% of fixed rate loans included in our loan portfolio for all periods presented.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, average-earning assets totaled $149,737,249 with an annualized average yield of 5.97%, compared to $155,862,037 and 6.48%, respectively, for the same period last year. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $131,310,291 with an annualized average cost of 2.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $129,099,010 and 3.33%, respectively, for the same period last year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, average-earning assets totaled $149,244,378 with an annualized average yield of 5.81%, compared to $154,005,379 and 6.42%, respectively, for the same period last year. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $132,998,368 with an annualized average cost of 2.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $127,319,908 and 2.88%, respectively, for the same period last year.
Our annualized yield on earning assets decreased 51 and 61 basis points during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from the annualized yield on earnings assets for the same periods last year. Annualized average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities decreased 68 and 50 basis points during the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 2009, respectively, from the annualized average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities for the same periods last year.

The increases in both periods were primarily attributable to the increase in the average volume of our loans, which generally are our highest yielding assets.
Details of the components of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Because loans often provide a higher yield than other types of earning assets, one of our goals is to maintain our loan portfolio as the largest component of total earning assets. Loans comprised approximately 77.04% and 72.02% of average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 77.32%, and 73.05% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Loan interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $5,849,283 compared to $6,272,236 for the same period in 2008. The annualized average yield on loans was 6.78% and 7.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Loan interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $1,917,447 compared to $2,085,417 for the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the annualized average yield on loans was 6.59% and 7.37%, respectively. Average balances of loans increased to $115,358,256 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $3,107,223 over the average of $112,251,033 during the comparable period in 2008. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the average balances of loans increased by $2,897,349 over the average balances of loans of $112,499,494 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, to $115,396,843, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The decline in the yield on loans for both periods was attributable to the decline in the interest rate market. The effect of the decline in the market interest rate was minimized by the significant volume of our fixed rate loans included in our loan portfolio. Fixed rate loans averaged approximately 97% of our loan portfolio for all periods presented.
Investment securities averaged $27,693,191, or 18.49% of average earning assets, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $34,632,271, or 22.22% of average earning assets, for the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, investment securities averaged $28,160,742, or 18.87%, of average earning assets compared to $35,999,146, or 23.38%, of average earnings assets, for the same period in 2008. Interest earned on investment securities was $778,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1,135,728 for the same period last year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, interest earned on investment securities was $251,852 compared to $369,519 for the same period last year. Investment securities yielded 3.76% and 4.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the yields on investment securities was 3.55% and 4.08%, respectively.
Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2,597,975 and $3,220,987, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, interest expense was $797,485 and $921,065, respectively. The largest component of interest expense is interest on deposit accounts. Interest expense for deposit accounts was $2,597,968 and $3,214,631 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, interest expense for deposit accounts was $797,485 and $919,982, respectively. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased to $131,309,010 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $128,755,217 during the same period last year. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the average balances of interest bearing deposits increased to $132,998,368 from $126,938,582 for the same period last year. The annualized average cost of deposits was 2.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 3.34% for the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the annualized average cost of deposits was 2.38% and 2.88%, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the total annualized average cost of funds was 2.65% and 3.33%, respectively. The overall cost of funds was 2.38% and 2.88% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -(continued)
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
We provide for loan losses using the allowance method. Increases to the allowance result from recording a provision for loan losses. Loan losses and recoveries are charged to the allowance. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when all or a portion of the loan is confirmed as a loss based on our review of the loan, through possession of the underlying security, or through a troubled debt restructuring transaction. Likewise, recoveries offset these increases through credits to the allowance.
The allowance is maintained at a level that we believe is sufficient to cover losses in the loan portfolio at a specific point in time. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance requires considerable judgment. The adequacy of the allowance is analyzed on a monthly basis using an internal analysis model. For purposes of this analysis, adequacy is defined as a level sufficient to absorb probable losses in the portfolio. This methodology relies upon our judgment. Our judgments are based on our assessment of various issues, including, but not limited to, the pace of loan growth, emerging portfolio concentrations, the risk management system relating to lending activities, entry into new markets, new product offerings, loan portfolio quality trends, and uncertainty in current economic and business conditions. An allowance model is used that takes into account factors including the composition of the loan portfolio such as risk grade classifications, historical asset quality trends including, but not limited to, previous loss experience ratios, our assessment of current economic conditions, and reviews of specific high risk sectors of the portfolio. Loans are graded at inception and are reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure that assigned risk grades are proper based on the definition of such classification. The value of underlying collateral is also considered during such analysis. The resulting monthly model and the related conclusions are reviewed and approved by Senior Management. Our analysis of allowance adequacy includes consideration for loan impairment. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if results differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
The methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance establishes both an allocated and unallocated component of the allowance. The allocated component is based principally on current loan grades and historical loss rates. The unallocated component is the result of the portion of the assessment that estimates probable losses in the portfolio that are not fully captured in the allocated allowance. This analysis includes, but is not necessarily limited to, industry concentrations, model imprecision, and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on historical loss rates. On a continual basis, we monitor trends within the portfolio, both quantitative and qualitative, and assess the reasonableness of the unallocated component.
The allowance is subject to examination and adequacy testing by regulatory agencies. In addition, such regulatory agencies could require allowance adjustments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.72% and 1.65% of total loans at September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2009 is reflective of the results of our allowance model methodology. We monitor and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance and loss exposure in the loan portfolio by considering the borrowers’ financial conditions and other factors in the unallocated component of the allowance. Accordingly, we believe the allowance as of September 30, 2009 is adequate, based on our assessment of probable losses, and available facts and circumstances then prevailing.
The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that management feels is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses at an adequate level. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the provision charged to expense was $290,000 as compared to $175,000 for the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the provision charged to expense was $110,000 and $75,000 respectively.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $477,681 a decrease of $48,116, or 9.15% from the comparable period in 2008. This decline is primarily attributable to the decrease of $37,214 in service charges earned on deposit accounts during nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, noninterest income decreased $15,703, or 9.29% over the same period in 2008. Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008, service charges on deposit accounts decreased $8,554 during the comparable period of 2009. The decrease in service charges for both periods is attributable to the closing of problematic deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $3,438,512 and $2,840,988, respectively. This represented an increase in noninterest expense of $597,524, or 21.03%. This increase is mainly attributable to the write down of investments totaling $461,935 that we had in a financial institution that was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Salaries and employee benefits decreased $24,155, or 1.58%, from $1,527,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1,503,623 for the comparable period in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, other operating expense was $1,460,005, or $589,575 higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase includes the write down of the investments mentioned above plus $146,306 increase in FDIC deposit insurance. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased from $442,780 for the nine ended September 30, 2008 to $474,884 for the comparable period in 2009.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, noninterest expense increased $40,980, or 4.26% over the same period in 2008. Noninterest expense was $1,003,387 and $962,407 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase is mainly due to the increase in FDIC deposit insurance. Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2008, salaries and benefits decreased $13,071 or 2.52% to $505,898 net occupancy and equipment expense increased $9,921, or 6.34% to $166,488 and other operating expenses increased $44,130, or 15.38% to $331,001. The $44,130 increase in other operating expenses includes an increase of $29,393 in FDIC deposit insurance.
Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $237,638 and $584,093, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the income tax provision was $117,000 and $224,575, respectively. The decrease in both periods in the provision resulted primarily from the decrease in net income before taxes. The tax provision was also impacted by the relationship of the amount of non deductible items for income tax purposes that were included in net income before taxes.
Net Income
The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $596,224 as compared to $1,268,591 for the same period in 2008. This represents a decrease of $672,367, or 53.00% from the same period in 2008. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased $157,381, or 33.48% from the same period in 2008.
Assets and Liabilities
During the first nine months of 2009, total assets increased $2,186,661, or 1.33%, when compared to December 31, 2008. The increase in total assets was mainly attributable to loans receivable, which increased $3,779,103. This increase was reduced by the reduction of investment securities totaling $1,719,094.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 total liabilities increased $1,573,270, or 1.07% from December 31, 2008, resulting mainly from the increase in deposits of $1,257,075, or 0.86%.
For more analysis of the components of the changes in asset and liabilities, see the following discussion of major balance sheet categories and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”
We closely monitor and seek to maintain appropriate levels of interest earning-assets and interest-bearing liabilities so that maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are provided to meet customer withdrawals and loan demands.

At September 30, 2009 and 2008, total impaired and nonperforming assets totaled $8,224,274 and $1,082,287, respectively. Nonaccrual loans of $2,930,598 and $1,065,235 were included in impaired loans at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The impaired loans had specific valuation allowances of $920,327 and $159,785 at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The average balances of impaired loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $5,905,203 and $1,011,552, respectively.
During the fourth quarter 2008, we employed a more robust process for reviewing and categorizing loans, which caused part of the increase in the levels of impaired loans.
At September 30, 2009 real estate or other collateral secured practically all of the loans that were considered impaired. In the event of foreclosure on these loans, there can be no assurance that in liquidation, the collateral can be sold for its estimated fair market value or even for an amount at least equal to or greater than the loan amount.
The results our internal review process and applying the allowance model methodology are the primary determining factors in management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity
Liquidity needs are met by us through scheduled maturities of loans and investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side for demand deposit accounts and short-term borrowings. The level of liquidity is measured by the loan-to-total funds ratio (total deposits plus short-term borrowings), which was 79.94% at September 30, 2009 and 78.03% at December 31, 2008.
Asset liquidity is provided from several sources, including amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Available-for-sale securities, particularly those maturing within one year, provide a secondary source of liquidity. In addition, funds from maturing loans are a source of liquidity.
At September 30, 2009 the Bank had available an unused short-term line of credit to purchase up to $7,000,000 of federal funds from unrelated correspondent institutions. The Bank also has a credit availability agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling 15 percent of the Bank’s assets as of any quarter end. As of September 30, 2009, the available credit totaled approximately $24,680,000 and there were no borrowings outstanding. Any borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank will be secured by a blanket lien on all of the Bank’s 1-4 family residential first lien mortgage loans and or investment securities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate sensitivity is defined as the exposure to variability in net interest income resulting from changes in market-based interest rates. Asset/liability management is the process by which we monitor and control the mix, maturities, and interest sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management seeks to ensure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize potentially adverse impacts on earnings from changes in market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available-for-sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. We believe that interest rate risk management becomes increasingly important in an interest rate environment and economy such as the one that we are currently experiencing.
We monitor interest rate sensitivity by measuring our interest sensitivity through a “gap” analysis, which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given time period. Currently we are liability-sensitive over periods with maturity dates of less than twelve months. However, since interest rates and yields on various interest sensitive assets and liabilities do not all adjust in the same degree when there is a change in prevailing interest rates (such as prime rate), the traditional gap analysis is only a general indicator of rate sensitivity and net interest income volatility. As stated in “Results of Operations for the Nine Months and Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 – Net Interest Income,” our net interest margin decreased during both periods. If net interest margin continue to decline, net income would probably decline as well.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity increased from $17,693,418 at December 31, 2008 to $18,306,809 at September 30, 2009. The net increase of $613,391 is attributable to earnings for the period of $596,224, less the payment cash dividends of $252,690, the net decrease of $191,520 from the sales and purchases of treasury stock and the net increase of $461,377 in the fair value of securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes.
Bank holding companies, such as ours, and their banking subsidiaries are required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital adequacy, which are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated into Tier 1 capital (essentially common shareholders’ equity less intangible assets) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the degree of credit risk in our assets, provide the weighting of assets based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%. The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital at September 30, 2009:
| | | | |
Shareholders’ equity | | $ | 17,664,171 | |

The Federal Reserve Board has similar requirements for bank holding companies. The Company is currently not subject to these requirements because the Federal Reserve guidelines contain an exemption for bank holding companies of less than $500,000,000 in consolidated assets.

Regulatory Matters
We are not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Through the operations of our Bank, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of our business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At September 30, 2009, we had issued commitments to extend credit of approximately $8,055,000 and standby letters of credit of approximately $810,000 through various types of commercial lending arrangements. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2008 as filed in our annual report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Refer to the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.
