NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION
ACCESS ANYTIME BANCORP, INC. (the “Company”) is a thrift holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary ACCESSBANK (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, First Equity Development Corporation (“FEDCO”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, the Bank and FEDCO. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management of the Company, without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the information have been included. The December 31, 2004 consolidated statement of financial condition, as presented herein, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Annual Report on 10-KSB.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impact of New Accounting Standards – In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148 (“Statement 148”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. This statement amends Statement 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, Statement 148 amends the disclosure requirements to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.
Statement 148 allows for the fair value based method under Statement 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, or the intrinsic value based method under APB Opinion No. 25 (“Opinion 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the fair value based method of accounting, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is generally the vesting period. Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has elected to continue to use the intrinsic value method of accounting under Opinion 25, and will disclose the proforma effects of the fair value based method for the periods presented in its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. See further discussion below.

Had compensation cost for all grants of stock options and the director retainer plan shares during 2005 and 2004 been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant, reported net income and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro-forma amounts shown below:

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“Interpretation 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities (selected entities with related contractual, ownership, voting or other monetary interests, including certain special purpose entities), and requires certain additional disclosure with respect to these entities. The provisions of Interpretation 46 were immediately applicable to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Interpretation 46, commonly referred to as Interpretation No. 46R (“Interpretation 46R”). The objective of Interpretation 46R was to provide additional clarification to Interpretation 46 and require public entities to identify those entities that are considered special purpose entities (“SPEs”) in which they have variable interests and to apply the provisions of either Interpretation 46 or 46R at December 31, 2003. For small business issuers, the full provisions of Interpretation 46R were effective no later than the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2004.
The Company has business trusts for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Interpretation 46R specifically addresses trust preferred securities and determined that these types of trusts should not be consolidated as variable interest entities. The Company adopted the full provisions of Interpretation 46R on December 31, 2004 and deconsolidated its trust preferred securities issued by Trust I of $4.0 million and Trust II of $4.0 million. As part of the deconsolidation of the trust preferred securities, the Company recorded an additional $248,000 in Trust Preferred Securities-Notes Payable, and the investment in the Capital Securities of Trust I and Trust II of $248,000 in Other Assets.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149 (“Statement 149”), Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This amendment of Statement 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under Statement 133. Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provisions applied prospectively. The adoption of Statement 149 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150 (“Statement 150”), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. Statement 150 establishes standards for how a business enterprise classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Statement 150 requires that a business enterprise classify financial instruments that are within its scope as liabilities (or as assets in some circumstances). Statement 150 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The FASB deferred the provisions related to mandatorily redeemable financial instruments to periods beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of Statement 150 on July 1, 2003 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the adoption of deferred provisions on January 1, 2005 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2003, the FASB issued FSP FAS 150-4, Issuer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans under FASB Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. The Company and the Bank have a profit sharing/employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for which substantially all employees are eligible. Contributions, when made, may be made in the form of cash or in common stock of the Company. Since the Company accounts for its ESOP plan under AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, the ESOP shares of the plan are not within the scope of Statement 150.
In March 2004, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. EITF No. 03-1 provides accounting guidance regarding the determination of when an impairment (i.e. fair value is less than amortized cost) of debt and marketable equity securities and investments accounted for under the cost method should be considered other-than-temporary and recognized in earnings. EITF No. 03-1 also requires annual disclosures of certain quantitative and qualitative factors of debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The FASB is currently reconsidering in its entirety the EITF’s and all other guidance on disclosing, measuring, and recognizing other-than-temporary impairments of debt and equity securities. Until new guidance is issued, companies must continue to comply with the disclosure requirements of EITF No. 03-1 and all relevant measurement and recognition requirements in other accounting literature.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Statement No. 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The revised Statement generally requires that companies account for these share-based transactions using the fair-value-based method, and eliminates a company’s ability to account for these transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25. For small business issuers, Statement No. 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the exact impact the new standard will have on its 2006 consolidated financial statements. The above disclosures, as required by FASB Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, provide detail as to its results of operations as if it had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of Statement No. 148 to stock-based employee compensation to the current reporting periods.
In December 2004, the AICPA issued SOP 03-03, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer. The SOP addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or loans accounted for as debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. The SOP requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. It includes loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer, including such loans acquired in purchase business combinations, and applies to all nongovernmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations. The SOP does not apply to loans originated by the entity or acquired loans that have not deteriorated in credit quality since origination. The SOP is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Since the Company has not acquired any loans in fiscal 2005, the SOP had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications – Certain previous period balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

The Company’s unrealized losses at March 31, 2005 were approximately $1.5 million. The majority of the unrealized losses relate to the Company’s GNMA and U.S. Treasury bond portfolio, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government and have been classified by the Company as held-to-maturity. These unrealized losses are caused by fluctuations in market interest rates. The Company believes that the United States Government will honor its interest payment schedules, as well as the full debt at maturity. Because the unrealized losses are due to market interest rates and no credit worthiness factors exist, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments to maturity, the Company believes that the investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.
Trading Securities – The Company has an executive savings plan to provide additional benefits for select highly compensated management employees of the Bank as a means for participants to defer an unlimited portion of their compensation for the future. Salary deferrals and the Bank’s discretionary contributions, if any, are funded into a Rabbi Trust. The assets of the Trust are available to the general creditors of the Bank and, as a result, are recorded on the books and records of the Company.
Through June 18, 2004, all salary deferral contributions were invested in the Company’s common stock, and pursuant to EITF 97-14, Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested, these shares were classified as equity in a manner similar to the manner in which treasury stock is accounted for. Subsequent to June 18, 2004, as part of a plan to diversify plan assets, the plan’s trustee began selling the shares of Company common stock held by the Rabbi Trust on the open market. All proceeds from the sale transactions were deposited into the Rabbi Trust and were invested in mutual bond and equity funds, money market funds, and real estate investment trusts by the trustee for the benefit of plan participants in accordance with the trust agreement. Under EITF 97-14, the diversified assets held by the Rabbi Trust are accounted for in accordance with FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and are classified as trading securities. Trading Securities are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the fair value of the trading securities held by the Rabbi Trust was $1,054,443 and $988,163, respectively.

| | | | | |
| | $ | 205,907,411 | | $ | 201,072,521 | |
The level of allowance for loan losses is established by management of the Bank to incorporate a systematic methodology, which is applied quarterly, to determine the elements of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant provisions for loan losses it considers adequate to provide for anticipated loan losses. This methodology includes the following elements:
• A systematic loan grading system
• A periodic review of the summary of the allowance for loan loss balance using historical loss factors
• Identification of loans to be evaluated on an individual basis for impairment
• Consideration of internal factors such as the Bank’s size, organizational structure, loan portfolio structure, loan administration procedures, past due and delinquency trends, and loss experience
• Consideration of risks inherent in different kinds of lending
• Consideration of external factors such as local, regional, and national economic factors
• An overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral, and holding and disposition costs
Allowances are provided for individual loans where ultimate collection is considered questionable by management after reviewing the current status of loans that are contractually past due as well as considering the net realizable value of the security and of the loan guarantees, if applicable. The following table is an analysis of changes in the allowance for loan losses:

NOTE 9 OFF-STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION ARRANGEMENTS
The Bank may be a party to financial instruments with off-statement of financial condition risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuation in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit (including credit cards), standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for the consolidated statements of financial condition instruments.
The following table details the amounts and expected maturities of significant commitments as of March 31, 2005.
| | Payments Due In | | | |
| | One Year or Less | | One to Three Years | | Three to Five Years | | Over Five Years | | Total | |

Commitments to purchase corporate bonds | | 3,369 | | — | | — | | — | | 3,369 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customers.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral and personal guarantees as deemed necessary.
17
On May 24, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Journal Center Corporation, to purchase a parcel of land in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The purchase price will be equal to the total number of square feet contained in the property, multiplied by $9.75. The Company expects the purchase price to be approximately $1,186,000. As of the date of this report, the transaction had not yet closed, but management expects closing to occur before the end of the second quarter of 2005. Plans for construction of a building at the property site are also pending.
NOTE 10 MATERIAL BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company completed its acquisitions of two branches in Las Cruces, New Mexico on May 1, 2004 and one branch in Sun City, Arizona on November 1, 2004. The branches were purchased from Matrix Capital Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Matrix Bancorp, Inc. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their respective fair values on the dates of acquisition. The purchase price allocations have not been finalized pending valuation of certain assets.
In March 2005, appraisals of the Las Cruces, New Mexico properties were completed. The appraisals resulted in a $1,040,000 increase in the estimated recorded value of the properties. Accordingly, goodwill was reduced by $1,040,000. In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company recorded additional acquisition costs, resulting in an increase to goodwill of approximately $23,000.
The following table reflects the pro forma results of operations as though the acquisitions of the branches had been completed on January 1, 2004. The pro forma results of operations do not include pro forma adjustments related to potential earnings from the potential investment of the net cash received from Matrix Capital Bank at the close of the acquisitions.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with ACCESS ANYTIME BANCORP, INC.’s (“the Company”) 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
General
The Company is a Delaware corporation which was organized in 1996 for the purpose of becoming the thrift holding company of AccessBank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank conducting business from one loan production office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, nine full-service banking locations in Albuquerque, Clovis, Gallup, and Portales, and Las Cruces, New Mexico, and one full-service banking location in Sun City, Arizona. The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, FEDCO, which is currently inactive.
The Las Cruces, New Mexico branches were acquired from Matrix Capital Bank on May 1, 2004. The fair values of acquired loans and deposits at the branches were approximately $19.6 million and $79.1 million, respectively. The Company also received approximately $51.5 million in cash (net of acquisition costs) at the close of the transaction. The Sun City, Arizona branch was acquired from Matrix Capital Bank on November 1, 2004. The fair values of acquired loans and deposits at the branch were approximately $1,435 and $104.6 million, respectively. The Company also received approximately $98.2 million in cash (net of acquisition costs) at the close of the transaction.
The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public and investing those funds in first mortgage loans in owner occupied, single-family residential loans and securities. The Bank also originates commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, residential construction loans. In addition, the Bank originates consumer loans, including loans for the purchase of automobiles and home improvement loans, and commercial business loans including Small Business Administration loans.
The most significant outside factors influencing the operations of the Bank and other financial institutions include general economic conditions, competition in the local market place and the related monetary and fiscal policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. More specifically, the cost of funds, primarily consisting of deposits, is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate financing and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such loans may be offered and other factors affecting loan demand and funds availability. The Bank considers the state of New Mexico as its primary trade area. Federal government outlays in research and development, defense, and agriculture represent a significant portion of the New Mexico economy. The Bank’s lending territory also includes Maricopa County in Arizona and portions of the State of Texas.
Financial Condition
Total assets for the Company increased by $27.1 million or 7.4%, from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. The increase in assets was primarily due to the purchase of approximately $30.4 million of securities held-to-maturity, primarily financed by FHLB advances. In addition, loans receivable increased by $4.8 million.
19
Total liabilities increased by $26.5 million or 7.7%, from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. The increase in liabilities was primarily due to an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $37.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in customer deposits of $11.5 million.
Capital Adequacy and Liquidity
Capital Adequacy - Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) and the implementation of Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) regulations on December 7, 1989, the Bank must have: (1) Tier 1 or core capital equal to 4% of adjusted total assets and (2) total capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets, which includes off-balance sheet items.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”), to be deemed “well capitalized” the minimum ratios the Bank must have are: (1) Tier 1 or core capital of 5% of adjusted total assets, (2) Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6% of risk-weighted assets, and (3) total risk-based capital of 10% of risk weighted assets.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank’s capital for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2005, as reported to the OTS.

Liquidity
Liquidity enables the Bank to meet withdrawals of its deposits and the needs of its loan customers. The Bank maintains its liquidity position through maintenance of cash resources and a core deposit base. A further source is the Bank’s ability to borrow funds. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) which provides a source of borrowings to the Bank for asset and asset/liability matching. FHLB advances were $44.4 million and $6.5 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The additional advances were primarily used to fund purchases of securities held-to-maturity. At the close of business on April 28, 2005, FHLB advances were $52.5 million.
Liquidity risk results from the mismatching of assets and liabilities cash flows. Management chooses asset/liability strategies that promote stable earnings and reliable funding. Interest rate risk and funding positions are kept within limits established by the Board of Directors of the Bank to ensure that risk taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. The Bank keeps a portion of its interest-bearing assets in adjustable-rate products to reduce interest rate sensitivity. Therefore, if rates increase the Bank can retain its deposits by increasing rates paid on deposits, while limiting the impact on the Bank’s net interest margin. The primary additional source of funding is provided by FHLB borrowings available to the Bank, of $180.8 million and $192.3 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had lines of credit totaling $400,000 each year from other banks. The Company had $268,182 in borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at March 31, 2005 and no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2004. The lines of credit bear market rates of interest and borrowings thereunder are to be used for general purposes.
Results of Operations
Three-Month Comparative Analysis for Periods March 31, 2005 and 2004
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $282,732 or $.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to $180,870 or $.14 per basic share and $.13 per diluted share for the three-months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $101,862 or 56.3%. Net income per diluted share increased by 30.8%, primarily due to the increase in net income, partially offset by an increase in weighted average common shares.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by 47.5% to $2,687,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $1,821,565 for the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in total interest income of $1,585,000. This improvement was primarily due to the increase in loan volume as compared to March 31, 2004, $19 million of which was attributable to the May 1, 2004 acquisition of two branches in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The improvement is also attributable to an increase in interest income from securities purchased in the second and fourth quarters of 2004 and additional security purchases during the three-months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $677,000 increase in interest expense on deposits, primarily due to the substantial increase in deposits which resulted primarily from the acquisition of the two Las Cruces, New Mexico branches in May, 2004 and
21
the acquisition of the Sun City, Arizona branch in November, 2004. See Note 10 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-QSB for additional discussion on acquisitions.
Provision for Loan Losses. The level of the allowance for loan losses is based on such factors as the amount of non-performing assets, historical loss experience, general economic conditions, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, and other factors which may affect the collectibility of loans. Management’s analysis of current conditions resulted in a provision for loan losses of $150,000 and $213,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in the provision is consistent with the decrease in both net loans charged off and non-performing assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making initial determinations. See Note 5 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-QSB for additional discussion on the allowance for loan losses.
Noninterest Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, noninterest income increased by $86,127, or 13.6%, to $717,821 from $631,694 for the same period in 2004. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to increases in other income and gains on sales of loans held-for-sale. The increase in other income was primarily due to an increase in rental income generated by one of the Company’s Las Cruces, New Mexico branches.
Noninterest Expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, noninterest expense increased by $902,435, or 48.4%, to $2,766,890 from $1,864,455 for the same period in 2004. The $902,435 increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to the acquisition of the Las Cruces, New Mexico and Sun City, Arizona branches (see Note 10 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-QSB). The increase consisted primarily of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $464,542, occupancy expense of $166,755, and other expenses of $182,902.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased by $10,334 to $205,268, a 42.1% effective tax rate, from $194,934, a 51.9% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to an increase in income before taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same quarter in 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance made in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s operating results are impacted by many factors, the most important factor being the interest spread between the yield on loans and investments and the cost of funds. The following table presents operating results for the Company. The table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are monthly average balances. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Item 3 – Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There was no change in the small business issuer’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business issuer’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this Form 10-QSB and other documents the Company files with the SEC that relate to future events or the Company’s expectations, projections, estimates, intentions, goals, targets and strategies are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and estimates and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. Because actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ, and that could affect the Company’s future financial condition, cash flow and operating results include changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies or adverse decisions by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area, and competition. Further discussion regarding the factors affecting the Company that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements is contained in the Company’s current and future Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
None
The Company has a deferred compensation plan for key officers known as the Executive Savings Plan. The participants may defer a portion of their compensation to the Executive Savings Plan, and the Company may make matching contributions to the plan. All compensation deferrals and contributions are deposited in trust with an independent trustee for the benefit of the plan participants. The trustee, REDW Trust Co., may invest the trust assets in stocks, bonds, money markets, mutual funds or U.S. Government securities. The trust is known as a “Rabbi Trust” for income tax purposes. The assets of a Rabbi Trust are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the event of bankruptcy of the Company.
REDW Trust Co. had invested trust assets in Company stock by purchasing Company stock on the open market from time to time. Although the trust assets are held by an independent trustee for the benefit of the plan participants, pursuant to EITF 97-14, shares of Company common stock held in this Rabbi Trust are classified as equity in a manner similar to the manner in which treasury stock is accounted for.
The Company does not currently have any publicly announced plan or program to repurchase its own common stock. However, market purchases of the Company’s common stock for the Rabbi Trust made by the plan trustee, REDW Trust Co., have been treated as treasury stock for certain accounting purposes. As part of a plan to diversify plan assets, REDW Trust Co. had stopped purchasing any additional shares of Company common stock after June 18, 2004. However, in March 2005, REDW Trust Co. purchased 120 additional shares of Company common stock, which related to the employer discretionary contribution for a plan participant.

As reported in the Company’s March 2, 2005 Form 8-K, on February 24, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved amendments to the respective employment agreements for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Norman R. Corzine and the Company’s President, Don K. Padgett. The amendments include a potential bonus distribution in early 2006 for 2005 performance of up to $100,000 to be shared equally by Mr. Corzine and Mr. Padgett. The bonuses would be awarded at the discretion of the Committee based upon performance goals to be established by April 30, 2005. These performance goals were approved by the Compensation Committee on April 29, 2005 and are reported in this Form 10-QSB, in lieu of a Form 8-K. The performance criteria are as follows:
• Achievement of 2005 operating budgets
• Achievement of certain key ratios, in line with certain of the Company’s peers
In April, 2005, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) notified the Company that, due to its ratio of tangible capital to tangible assets at year end December 31, 2004, which was 2.71%, the Company should notify the OTS thirty days in advance before issuing, renewing or increasing debt of the Company, including hybrid capital instruments, or guarantying the debt of any entity. This requirement of notification does not apply to liabilities incurred in the normal course of business that are normally recorded as accounts payable. The notification requirement applies to the Company only and does not apply to AccessBank. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had increased its tangible capital to tangible assets ratio to 2.96%. The Company is currently in discussions with the OTS as to the duration of this notification requirement. The Company does not expect this notification requirement to materially adversely affect its consolidated financial position or results of operations or the financial position or results of operations of AccessBank. The Bank was considered "well capitalized" at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. See "Capital Adequacy" on page 20 of this 10-QSB.
