NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. owns and operates The Jacksonville Bank, which has a total of five operating branches in Jacksonville, Florida.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Jacksonville Bank, and The Jacksonville Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Financial, Inc. The consolidated entity is referred to as the “Company” and The Jacksonville Bank and its subsidiary are collectively referred to as the “Bank.” The Company’s financial condition and operating results principally reflect those of the Bank. All intercompany balances and amounts have been eliminated. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2008.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company reflect banking industry practice and conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported asset and liability balances and revenue and expense amounts and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The consolidated financial information included herein as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's December 31, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 06-4 had no material impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE
Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as summarized below:
| | | | Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2008 Using | |
| | March 31, 2008 | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets | | Significant Other Observable Inputs | | Significant Unobservable Inputs | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Securities available for sale | | $ | 29,377 | | | — | | $ | 29,377 | | | — | |
Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes on securities with similar characteristics.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) was incorporated on October 24, 1997 and was organized to conduct the operations of The Jacksonville Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Florida state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business on May 28, 1999, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides a variety of community banking services to businesses and individuals in the greater Jacksonville area of Northeast Florida. During 2000, the Bank formed Fountain Financial, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary. The primary business activities of Fountain Financial, Inc. consist of referral of our customers to third parties for the sale of insurance products. Bancorp, the Bank and Fountain Financial, Inc. are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”
Forward Looking Statements
“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” contain various forward-looking statements with respect to financial performance and business matters. Such statements are generally contained in sentences including the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “is anticipated,” or “estimate,” “project” or “believe.” The Company cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including changes in local economic conditions, changes in regulatory requirements, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for products, and competition, and, therefore, actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Business Strategy
Our primary business segment is community banking and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. We also invest in securities backed by the United States Government, and agencies thereof, as well as municipal tax-exempt bonds. Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the income we receive from our loan and securities investment portfolios and our costs incurred on our deposits, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, and other sources of funding. Net interest income is also affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is generated as the relative amounts of interest-earning assets grow in relation to the relative amounts of interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the level of noninterest income earned and noninterest expenses incurred also affects profitability. Included in noninterest income are service charges earned on deposit accounts and increases in cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”). Included in noninterest expense are costs incurred for salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, data processing expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and legal and professional fees.
Our goal is to sustain profitable, controlled growth by focusing on increasing our loan and deposit market share in the Northeast Florida market by developing new financial products, services and delivery channels; closely managing yields on interest-earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities; focusing on noninterest income opportunities; controlling the growth of noninterest expenses; and maintaining strong asset quality. We have initiated programs to expand our scope of services and achieve these goals. The Bank has adopted a philosophy of seeking out and retaining the best available personnel for positions of responsibility which we believe will provide us with a competitive edge in the local banking industry. The Bank opened its fourth and fifth locations in 2006 in key areas of Jacksonville, which provide additional visibility and access to businesses and individuals, that will likely result in additional loan and deposit opportunities.
Our operations are influenced by the local economic conditions and by policies of financial institution regulatory authorities. Fluctuations in interest rates, due to factors such as competing financial institutions as well as the Federal Reserve’s decisions on changes in interest rates, impact interest-earning assets and our cost of funds and, thus, our net interest margin. In addition, the local economy and real estate market of Northeast Florida and the demand for our products and loans impacts our margin. The local economy and viability of local businesses can also impact the ability of our customers to make payments on loans, thus impacting our loan portfolio. The Company evaluates these factors when valuing its allowance for loan losses and believes that the local economy is stable. Additionally, the Company believes that the local real estate market is relatively stable, albeit soft in the residential real estate area. The Company also believes its underwriting procedures are relatively conservative and, as a result, the Company should not be any more affected than the overall market in the event of economic downturn.
In the first quarter of 20008, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate three times. At December 31, 2007, the federal funds rate was 4.25%. The Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate to 3.50% on January 22, 2008, to 3.0% on January 30, 2008 and to 2.25% on March 18, 2008. In anticipation, the Company positioned itself to be in a slightly liability sensitive position, which means the pricing on our earning assets will reset to the lower short-term rates at a slower pace than our interest bearing liabilities. This is anticipated to have a positive impact on the net interest margin. However, other variables, such as liquidity needs, competition and the need to pursue alternative funding sources, could offset some or all of the benefits of the pricing resets.
On January 28, 2008, Bancorp entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Heritage Bancshares, Inc. (“Heritage”) pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained therein, Heritage will merge with and into Bancorp (the “Merger”), with Bancorp remaining as the surviving entity. Also pursuant to the Merger Agreement, two members of Heritage’s board of directors will be appointed to Bancorp’s board of directors.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Heritage shareholders may elect to receive, for each share of Heritage common stock held on the record date, either 0.6175 shares of Bancorp’s common stock or $17.29 in cash, or a combination of Bancorp’s common stock and cash. It is anticipated that the proposed consideration will consist of approximately 738,000 shares of Bancorp’s common stock and $8.85 million in cash, reflecting a mix of consideration of 70% stock and 30% cash. The cash portion of the consideration will be funded through the issuance of Trust Preferred Securities.
The merger is conditioned upon approval by the Federal Reserve Board, the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, the Heritage shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Bancorp and Heritage. Heritage has banking offices located in Clay and St. Johns Counties, Florida. We believe this strategic merger will provide new growth opportunities as we continue to focus on the Northeast Florida market.
Introduction
In the following pages, management presents an analysis of the financial condition of the Company, as of March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and related footnotes included herein.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
Total assets increased $17.9 million, or 4.5%, from $392 million at December 31, 2007 to $409.8 million at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company experienced net loan growth of $17.0 million, or 5.0%. The increase in net loans was driven by increases in commercial real estate loans of $8.2 million, or 3.9%, residential real estate loans of $2.4 million, or 3.2%, construction real estate loans of $2.7 million, or 9.3%, and commercial loans of $3.8 million, or 18.6%. The Company funded the increase in earning assets through an increase in deposits of $49.3 million offset by a decrease in FHLB advances by $31.7 million.
Total deposits increased $49.3 million, or 17.1%, from $288.9 million at December 31, 2007 to $338.2 million at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $4.7 million to $40.1 million. Money market, NOW and savings deposits decreased $4.1 million to $112.1 million. Time deposits increased $48.7 million to $186.0 million.
Investment securities available for sale decreased $350,000 to $29.4 million at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we purchased $3.0 million of securities and received $3.5 million in proceeds from maturities, calls and principal repayments. Of the $3.0 million purchased in the current year, approximately $1.3 million was invested in mortgage-backed securities and $1.7 million was invested in U.S. government agency securities.
Total shareholders' equity increased by $675,000, or 2.5%, from $26.6 million at December 31, 2007 to $27.3 million at March 31, 2008. The increase is mainly attributable to net income of $537,000. At March 31, 2008, the Company had 8,000,000 authorized shares of $.01 par value common stock, of which 1,748,599 shares were issued and 1,747,947 shares were outstanding. In addition, the Company had 2,000,000 authorized shares of $.01 par value preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding at March 31, 2008.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
Net Income
Net income decreased $6,000, or 1.1%, from $543,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $537,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Diluted earnings per share was $.30 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. This increase in net income was due to an increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income increased as a result of an increase in interest-earning assets.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased $293,000, or 10.0% from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase resulted from an increase in interest income of $750,000, offset by an increase in interest expense of $457,000, driven primarily by an increase in time deposits, our highest cost deposit category. Additional funding from short-term borrowings and FHLB advances also increased interest expense by $170,000. The primary driver in the increase in net interest income will continue to be the growth in our earning assets.
When comparing the first three months of 2008 to the same period last year, the Company experienced substantial growth in its loan portfolio, with the most significant impact occurring in commercial loans. The Company also experienced growth in deposit products, with the largest increase occurring in time deposit accounts.
Many of the Bank’s loans are indexed to the prime rate. The lower level of the prime rate in the first three months of 2008 compared to the comparative period in 2007 is reflected in the lower average yield of the loan portfolio due to lower rates earned on variable rate loans and new loan production. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the first three months of 2008 was 7.04%, which was a decrease of 71 basis points, compared to the 7.75% yield earned during the first three months of 2007.
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 36 basis points from 4.64% in the three months of 2007 to 4.28% in the comparable period in 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits and all interest-bearing liabilities reflect, in part, the change in the funding mix for the first three months of 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.
The net interest margin decreased by 42 basis points from 3.76% to 3.34% when comparing the first three months of 2008 to the same period last year. This decrease is mainly the result of the rapid reduction in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve which immediately affected our variable priced loans offset by a lagging in deposit repricing due to maturities of time deposits and the competitive nature of the funding markets. The Company closely monitors its cost of funds and has taken action to reduce such costs through deposit gathering initiatives focused on generating lower cost demand, money market and savings accounts. Furthermore, proceeds from maturity, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities continue to be invested at current market rates. In the current interest rate environment, the margin may contract further; however, as stated above, management has implemented various strategies to reduce the rising cost of funding.

The following table sets forth the average daily balances for each major category of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as well as the amounts and average rates earned or paid on each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies
A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The circumstances that make these judgments difficult, subjective or complex have to do with the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company’s primary critical accounting policy is the establishment and maintenance of an allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan loss is established through a provision for loan loss charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan loss when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent probable and estimable incurred losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such objective factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience. The evaluation also considers certain subjective factors such as overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. The level of allowance for loan loss is also impacted by increases and decreases in loans outstanding because either more or less allowance is required as the amount of the Company’s credit exposure changes. To the extent actual loan losses differ materially from management’s estimate of these subjective factors, loan growth/run-off accelerates, or the mix of loan types changes, the level of provision for loan loss, and related allowance can, and will, fluctuate.
Additional information with regard to the Company’s methodology and reporting of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2008.
Asset Quality
The Company has identified certain assets as nonperforming. These assets include nonaccruing loans, loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and still accruing, and foreclosed real estate. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management has concerns regarding its ability to collect the outstanding loan principal and interest amounts and typically when such loans are more than 90 days past due. These loans present more than the normal risk that the Company will be unable to eventually collect or realize their full carrying value. Loans are impaired when it is considered probable that management will not collect the outstanding loan principal and interest amounts or realize the full carrying value of the loan. During the first quarter, the Company experienced an increase in impaired loans from $690,000 to $1.2 million driven by an increase in nonperforming loans of $301,000 and one additional loan in the amount of $241,000 that was identified as a result of the expanded efforts of management as discussed under the allowance and provision for loan losses section below. The Company’s nonperforming assets at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows:

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses grew by $154,000 during the first three months of 2008, amounting to $3.3 million at March 31, 2008, as compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2007. The allowance represented approximately .91% of total loans at both dates. During the first three months of 2008, the Company had charge-offs of $212,300, recoveries of $3,000 and recorded a $363,000 provision for loan losses compared to charge-offs of $12,000, no recoveries and a provision for loan losses of $247,000 for the first three months of 2007. The larger provision for loan losses in 2008 was driven primarily from continued loan growth and the Bank’s expanded efforts to identify potential losses inherent in the portfolio. The Bank’s increased identification efforts of potential losses in the portfolio are based on a variety of specific factors, including the Company’s and peer banks’ experiences as well as industry and economic trends. As a result of the expanded efforts, management does not believe that the same level of charge-offs experienced during the first quarter will be experienced in future periods. Impaired loans increased to $1.2 million as of March 31, 2008; of this amount, $352,000 was specifically allocated to the allowance for loan losses which is deemed sufficient to absorb any future potential losses.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management has adopted a methodology to properly analyze and determine an adequate loan loss allowance. The analysis is based on sound, reliable and well documented information and is designed to support an allowance that is adequate to absorb all estimated incurred losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Due to their similarities, the Company has grouped the loan portfolio into three components. The components are residential real estate, consumer loans and commercial loans. The Company has created a loan classification system to properly calculate the allowance for loan losses. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the sale of the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
In estimating the overall exposure to loss on impaired loans, the Company has considered a number of factors, including the borrower’s character, overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors, and the realizable value of any collateral. The Company also considers other internal and external factors when determining the allowance for loan losses. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions, commercial lending staff limitations, impact from lengthy commercial loan workout and charge-off period, loan portfolio concentrations and trends in the loan portfolio.
Bank regulators recently issued “Joint Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending.” This document outlines regulators’ concerns regarding the high level of growth in commercial real estate loans on banks’ balance sheets. Many banks, especially those in Florida, have seen a substantial increase in exposure to commercial real estate loans. The Company has and will continue to pursue fundamentally sound commercial real estate lending opportunities that fit within its lending parameters. The ongoing growth and concentration in this category is considered when analyzing the adequacy of the loan loss allowance based on sound, reliable and well documented information.
Based on the results of the analysis performed by management at March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan loss is considered to be adequate to absorb estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date. As more fully discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, the process for estimating credit losses and determining the allowance for loan losses as of any balance sheet date is subjective in nature and requires material estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
The amount of future charge-offs and provisions for loan losses could be affected by, among other things, economic conditions in Jacksonville, Florida, and the surrounding communities. Such conditions could affect the financial strength of the Company’s borrowers and do affect the value of real estate collateral securing the Company’s mortgage loans. Loans secured by real estate represent approximately 92% of the Company’s total loans outstanding at March 31, 2008. In recent years, economic conditions in Jacksonville and the surrounding communities have been strong and real estate values have appreciated in a healthy manner. Presently, economic conditions remain healthy in this market and commercial real estate values remain stable. Residential real estate values have experienced volatility and have declined in some areas. Conditions and values could deteriorate in the future, and such deterioration could be substantial. If this were to occur, some of the Company’s borrowers may be unable to make the required contractual payments on their loans, and the Company may be unable to realize the full carrying value of such loans through foreclosure. However, management believes that the Company’s underwriting policies are relatively conservative and, as a result, the Company should not be any more affected than the overall market.
Future provisions and charge-offs could also be affected by environmental impairment of properties securing the Company’s mortgage loans. Under the Company’s current policy, an environmental audit is required on practically all commercial-type properties that are considered for a mortgage loan. At the present time, the Company is not aware of any existing loans in the portfolio where there is environmental pollution existing on the mortgaged properties that would materially affect the value of the portfolio.
Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense and Income Taxes
Noninterest income was $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $292,000 for the 2007 period. The decrease in total noninterest income was primarily the result of a reduction in mortgage fee income in the first quarter of 2008.
Noninterest expense increased to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Data processing fees, FDIC assessments and a one-time charge of $38,000 for the disposal of fixed assets no longer in use accounted for the majority of noninterest expense increasing $145,000 over the same period in 2007.
Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $261,000 (an effective rate of 32.71%) compared to income taxes of $328,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 (an effective tax rate of 37.66%). The reduction in the effective tax rate compared to one year earlier is the result of the Company’s efforts to transition the mix of its securities portfolio into additional tax-free municipal bonds. Additionally, there was a slight overstatement of income tax expense in the first quarter of 2007 which was corrected during the second quarter of last year.
Capital
The Company’s capital management policy is designed to build and maintain capital levels that meet regulatory standards. Under current regulatory capital standards, banks are classified as well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized or undercapitalized. Under such standards, a well-capitalized bank is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. The Bank’s total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 10.09%, 9.20% and 8.35%, respectively, at March 31, 2008. The Company also maintains capital levels that meet the same regulatory standards.
Cash Flows and Liquidity
Cash Flows. The Company’s primary sources of cash are deposit growth, maturities and amortization of investment securities, FHLB advances and federal funds purchased. The Company uses cash from these and other sources to fund loan growth. Any remaining cash is used primarily to reduce borrowings and to purchase investment securities. During the first three months of 2008, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent position increased by $3.0 million. The increase in cash mainly resulted from an increase in deposit accounts of approximately $49.3 million from $288.9 million at December 31, 2007 to $338.2 million at March 31, 2008. This increase was offset by net loan originations of $17.4 million as well as a decrease in FHLB advances of $31.7 million from $67.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $36.1 million at March 31, 2008.
Liquidity. The Company has both internal and external sources of near-term liquidity that can be used to fund loan growth and accommodate deposit outflows. The primary internal sources of liquidity are principal and interest payments on loans; proceeds from maturities and monthly payments on the balance of the investment securities portfolio; and its overnight position with federal funds sold. At March 31, 2008, the Company had $30.8 million in federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities not subject to pledge agreements.
The Company’s primary external sources of liquidity are customer deposits and borrowings from other commercial banks. The Company’s deposit base consists of both deposits from businesses and consumers in its local market as well as national market and brokered certificates of deposit. The Company can also borrow overnight federal funds and fixed-rate term products under credit facilities established with the FHLB and other commercial banks. These lines, in the aggregate amount of approximately $149.2 million, do not represent legal commitments to extend credit on the part of the other banks.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities. The Company has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that may require future cash payments. Management believes that there have been no material changes in the Company’s overall level of these financial obligations since December 31, 2007 and that any changes in the Company’s obligations which have occurred are routine for the industry. Further discussion of the nature of each type of obligation is included in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2008, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There have been no material changes in the risks related to off-balance sheet arrangements since the Company’s disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that a financial institution will be adversely impacted by unfavorable changes in market prices. These unfavorable changes could result in a reduction in net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of income to variations in interest rates over both short-term and long-term horizons. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control this risk within limits approved by the Board and narrower guidelines approved by the Asset Liability Committee. These limits and guidelines reflect the Bank’s tolerance for interest rate risk. The Bank attempts to control interest rate risk by identifying and quantifying exposures. The Bank quantifies its interest rate risk exposures using sophisticated simulation and valuation models as well as simpler gap analyses performed by a third-party vendor specializing in this activity. There have been no significant changes in the Bank’s primary market risk exposure or how those risks are managed since our disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The Bank’s internal policy on interest rate risk specifies that if interest rates were to shift immediately up or down 200 basis points, estimated net interest income for the next 12 months should change by less than 15%. The most current simulation projects the Bank’s net interest income to be within the parameters of its internal policy and has not changed significantly from our disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Such simulation involves numerous assumptions and estimates, which are inherently subjective and are subject to substantial business and economic uncertainties. Accordingly, the actual effects of an interest rate shift under actual future conditions may be expected to vary significantly from those derived from the simulation to the extent that the assumptions used in the simulation differ from actual conditions.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon management’s evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within the 90 days preceding the filing of this Report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that, subject to the limitations noted below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
The Company has made no significant changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which we are engaged, various claims or charges are asserted against us and/or our directors, officers or affiliates. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiary are also subject to regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries and investigations. Other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, management believes after consultation with legal counsel that there are no pending legal proceedings against the Company or the Bank that will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
