Note 4 – Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Stock options are regarded as potential common shares. Potential common shares are computed using the treasury stock method.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 | | | Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 | |

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurement
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” and SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities”. SFAS No. 157, which was issued in September 2006, establishes a framework for using fair value. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 159, which was issued in February 2007, generally permits the measurement of select eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option for any financial instruments.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as 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. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of the observable inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2
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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Note 5 – Fair Value Measurement (Continued)
Investment 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 of like or similar securities, 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.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once the loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Note 6 – Other than Temporary Impairment
The Company holds 41,000 shares of Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) preferred stock and 60,000 shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) preferred stock in its available for sale investment portfolio. At July 31, 2008, the cost for FNMA preferred stock was approximately $1.0 million while the approximate cost of the FHLMC preferred stock was $1.2 million.
On September 7, 2008, the United States Department of Treasury and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) announced that both the FNMA and the FHLMC were being placed under conservatorship and that management of the entities would be under control of the FHFA, which is their regulator. The plan announced by the Treasury Department and the FHFA includes, among other things, the elimination of dividends on FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock. Further, the preferred stock of FNMA and FHLMC were also downgraded by rating agencies to below investment grade.
In view of these facts, management concluded the market value declines were other than temporary. The Company recorded other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) noncash charges of approximately $2.04 million through earnings on September 30, 2008, as required by SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115) with respect to its holdings of the FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock. The OTTI charges were based on an analysis of the market values of the preferred stock, or an average share price of $1.95 for the FNMA preferred stock and an average share price of $1.60 for the FHLMC preferred stock.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
GENERAL
We are a Tennessee bank holding company which acquired the Bank through a share exchange in May 2002. We are a registered bank holding company under the Federal Reserve Act. Our only activity is owning the Bank which commenced operations on May 30, 1995.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $(1.9) million or $(1.28) per share as compared to net income of $31,000 or $0.02 per share for the corresponding period in 2007. For the first nine months of 2008, we had a net loss of $(2.3) million or $(1.49) per share as compared to net income of $412,000 or $0.27 per share for the first nine months of 2007. The net losses for the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2008, were mainly the result of significant impairment charges taken in September. Had the impairment charges not been necessary, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 would have been approximately $98,000 and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 would have been approximately $(222,000). Also contributing to the net loss for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008 was a $200,000 increase in the provision for loan losses to $901,000 from $708,000 at September 30, 2007. Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2008, increased $76,000, or 5.9%, to $1.4 million as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $1.0 million, or 31.4%, to $3.4 million as compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The table below represents certain key financial ratios for the first three quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Tennessee Valley Financial Holdings, Inc. 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe that our policies, with respect to the methodology for our determination of the allowance for loan losses, involve a high degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. We consider the following accounting policy to be most critical in its potential effect on our financial position or results of operations:
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”) is established through a provision for loan losses based on our evaluation of the risks inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, prior loss history and the regional economy. The ALL is maintained at an amount we consider adequate to cover loan losses which are deemed probable and estimable. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including asset classifications, economic trends, industry experience and trends, industry and geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, our assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and the Bank’s underwriting policies.
All loans in the portfolio are assigned an allowance percentage requirement based on the type of underlying collateral and payment terms. Furthermore, loans are evaluated individually and are assigned a credit grade using such factors as the borrower’s cash flow, the value of the collateral and the strength of any guarantee. Loans identified as having weaknesses, or adverse credit grades, are assigned a higher allowance percentage requirement than loans where no weaknesses are identified. We routinely monitor our loan portfolio to determine if a loan is deteriorating, therefore requiring a higher allowance requirement. Factors we consider are payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
The allowance percentage requirement changes from period to period as a result of a number of factors, including: changes in the mix of types of loans; changes in credit grades within the portfolio, which arise from a deterioration or an improvement in the performance of the borrower; changes in the historical loss percentages and delinquency trends; current charge offs and recoveries; and changes in the amounts of loans outstanding.
Although we believe that we have established and maintained the ALL at adequate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment. We will continue to monitor and modify our ALL as conditions dictate.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately 14.2% or $210,000 over the same period in 2007. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $4.3 million as compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $869,000 or 20.3%. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to a decrease in the yield of interest earning assets. The net interest margin (annualized) declined to 2.99% as of September 30, 2008 as compared to 3.78% for September 30, 2007. Yield on interest earning assets (annualized) declined to 6.18% as of September 30, 2008, as compared to 7.49% as of September 30, 2007. Average loans decreased approximately $3.8 million to $143.4 million at September 30, 2008, as compared to $147.2 million at September 30, 2007. Average loans were approximately 75% of average earning assets at September 30, 2008 and 81% at September 30, 2007.
The yield on average earning assets decreased 131 basis points for the first three quarters of 2008 as compared to the first three quarters of 2007. The decrease in the overall interest rate environment from the prior year period has significantly decreased overall yields on the loan portfolio and federal funds sold. Yields on average loans decreased 143 basis points from 8.12% at September 30, 2007 to 6.69% at September 30, 2008, while yields on federal funds sold, on which rates can change overnight, decreased 253 basis points from 5.28% to 2.75% for the same period. As the result of a management strategy focusing on purchasing investments with higher yields and extended maturities in response to the declining interest rate environment, investment yields have increased 53 basis points from 4.46% at September 30, 2007, to 4.99% at September 30, 2008.
Total interest expense was approximately $4.6 million for the first three quarters of 2008 as compared to $5.1 million for the same period in 2007, which is a decrease of $487,000 or 10.7%. Although the volume of interest bearing liabilities has increased, the rate on interest bearing liabilities has declined causing total interest expense to decrease. Average interest bearing deposits decreased from $145.9 million for the first nine months of 2007 to $142.6 million for the same period in 2008, while the rate on average interest bearing deposits decreased 64 basis points from 4.11% at September 30, 2007, to 3.47% at September 30, 2008. Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings were $28.1 million at September 30, 2008 as compared to $15.2 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $12.9 million or 84.6%. The rate on average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings decreased 82 basis points from 4.93% at September 30, 2007 to 4.11% at September 30, 2008. The average cost of funds decreased 58 basis points from 3.87% to 3.29% at September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This decrease is directly related to the declining interest rate environment.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s consolidated average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.

The Company's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on interest earning assets and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities. During the latter half of 2007 and the first three quarters of 2008, interest rates have declined 325 basis points as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company will be affected by changes in levels of interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control, particularly to the extent that such factors affect the overall volume of its lending and deposit activities.
The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO” committee) follows the Asset/Liability Management Policy approved by the board of directors. The ALCO committee is scheduled to meet at least quarterly or more often as considered necessary to discuss asset/liability management issues and make recommendations to the board of directors regarding prudent asset/liability management policies and procedures. Some of the issues the ALCO committee considers include: local and national economic forecasts; interest rate forecasts and spreads; mismatches between the maturities of the Company’s assets (loans, and investments) and liabilities (deposits); anticipated loan demands; and the liquidity position of the Company.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has a positive gap for the next twelve month period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Provision for loan losses was $901,000 for the first three quarters of 2008, compared to $708,000 for the first three quarters of 2007. The balance of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2008 was approximately $2.19 million (1.59% of gross loans) compared to $1.89 million (1.54% of gross loans) at December 31, 2007. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2008 were $992,000 compared to $399,000 for the first nine months of 2007. As a percentage of average loans, the annualized rate of net charge-offs was 0.92% for the first three quarters of 2008 as compared to a 0.36% ratio for the same period 2007. The increase in the provision for loan losses and charge-offs is attributable to a general economic slowdown affecting mainly consumer loans and residential and construction real estate loans.

As of September 30, 2008, management's review of the allowance for loan losses concluded that the balance was adequate to provide for potential losses based upon an evaluation of risk in the loan portfolio. Despite our credit standards, internal controls, and continuous loan review process, the inherent risk in the lending process results in periodic charge-offs. Through the provision for loan losses, we maintain a reserve for loan losses that management believes is adequate to absorb losses within the loan portfolio. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination procedures, periodically review our reserve for loan losses, and based on their judgment may require us to recognize additions to the reserve for loan losses. Management completes a formal analysis of the reserve for loan losses adequacy on a quarterly basis. A portion of this analysis is maintained as an unallocated reserve to recognize the imprecision in estimating the allowance for loan losses. Management strives on an ongoing basis to identify potential problems in its loan portfolio, resulting in more specific analysis of reserve amounts for specific loans.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income decreased to a loss of $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to income of $252,000 for the same period in 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, total noninterest income decreased to a loss of $1.3 million from $819,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease is related to approximately $2.04 million in impairment losses recorded on September 30, 2008. Impairment loss on investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 is the result of declines in the value of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock. In September 2008, management made the determination that the preferred stock was “other than temporarily impaired.” Also contributing to the decline in noninterest income are losses taken on the sale of other real estate owned and repossessed assets. This decrease is somewhat offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
For the three months ended September 30, 2008, noninterest expense totaled approximately $1.49 million, a decrease of $43,000, or 2.9%, from $1.53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, noninterest expense was $4.61 million as compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $93,000 or 2.0%. Noninterest expense (annualized) as a percent of total average assets was 3.02% at September 30, 2008 as compared to 3.26% September 30, 2007. The decrease in noninterest expense during the periods in 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 can be primarily attributed to decreases in data processing, advertising, supplies and postage, and loan expense. These decreases are a direct result of a management decision to monitor and reduce noninterest expense wherever possible.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. Our deferred tax assets are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to such assets are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgment relating to the ability to realize such assets.
We recognized an income tax expense of $89,000 and an income tax benefit of $17,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the income tax benefit was $217,000 as compared to an income tax expense of $147,000 for the same period in 2007. The effective income tax rate for the Company was (49.4%) for the first nine months of 2008 and 26.3% for the first nine months of 2007. The unusual effective income tax rate for the period ending September 30, 2008 is a result of approximately $270,000 of tax exempt state and county municipal bond interest received during the period. Because the FNMA preferred stock is considered a capital item for federal tax purposes at September 30, 2008, the other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge results in a capital loss and can only be used to offset current capital gains and capital gains going forward five years, thus generating a deferred tax asset for federal tax purposes. Due to the current composition of the investment portfolio and other assets held by the Company, it is not likely that we would be able to generate capital gains; therefore, a federal tax valuation allowance of approximately $700,000 was created. New tax law was enacted on October 3, 2008 to allow the treatment of the impairment charge as an ordinary loss. As a result of the new tax treatment, the federal income tax valuation allowance will be reversed in the future.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS - COMPARISON OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 TO DECEMBER 31, 2007
Assets totaled $204.4 million at September 30, 2008 as compared to $202.8 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $1.6 million or 7.8%. The primary categories of asset growth were a $4.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $7.2 million increase in investment securities, and a $1.2 million increase in other real estate owned. These increases were accompanied by a $10.7 million decrease in net loans and a $1.2 million decrease in loans held for sale.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.6 million, or 36.8%, to $17.0 million at September 30, 2008 as compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2007. These balances vary daily depending on the settlement of cash letters and other transactions.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities were approximately $40.1 million, or 19.6% of total assets, at September 30, 2008, an increase of $7.2 million from December 31, 2007. We purchased $25.9 million in investment securities during the first three quarters of 2008, while maturities, calls, sales and principal pay-downs provided cash of $16 million.
The investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government and federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). We also invest in tax-free, bank-qualified state, county and municipal bonds, U.S. Government agency preferred stock, and investment grade corporate debt securities. Mortgage-backed issues comprised 63.8% of the portfolio at September 30, 2008 and 45.6% at December 31, 2007.
On September 7, 2008, the U. S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Housing Agency (“FHFA”) announced that the FHFA was placing the FNMA and the FHLMC under conservatorship. Dividends on FNMA and FHLMC preferred securities were suspended and the preferred stocks of FNMA and FHLMC were downgraded by rating agencies to below investment grade. After the conservatorship was announced, the market value of the stock decreased significantly. After much research and discussion, management determined the market value impairment was other than temporary and reduced the cost basis to the fair value on September 30, 2008. As a result, approximately $2.04 million was charged to “impairment loss on investment securities” to record the adjustment of the cost of the FNMA and FHLMC preferred stock to $176,000. Management will determine if further impairments will be necessary in future periods if values continue to decline and the impairment is deemed other than temporary.
At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 100% of our portfolio was classified as available for sale and is reflected on the balance sheet at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes. The unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale was $1.1 million at September 30, 2008, compared to an unrealized loss of $36,000 as of December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of changes and volatility in the mortgage-backed securities market. The fair value of securities fluctuates with the movement of interest rates. Management has evaluated the securities held at September 30, 2008 with an unrealized loss and has concluded that the impairment on these securities should be considered as temporary due to changes in the market interest rates. These securities will be monitored and in the event that management deems the unrealized losses to be other than temporary, an impairment will be charged when necessary.

(1) Included in non-accrual loans are $2,099,000 and $3,230,000 of loans considered impaired as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory. All loans past due 90 days, however, are placed on non-accrual status, unless the loan is both well collateralized and in the process of collection. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as non-accrual are recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to collection. We had Other Real Estate Owned of $1.6 million at September 30, 2008, as compared with $363,000 at December 31, 2007. We have five relationships that are considered restructured as defined by accounting standards. The classification as restructured was brought on by changes in the terms of the loans precipitated by deterioration in the borrowers’ financial condition.
DEPOSITS
Deposits decreased approximately $2.0 million to $161.2 million at September 30, 2008, from $163.2 million at December 31, 2007. This decrease is a result of the declining interest rate environment and increased competition for deposits. Core deposits, which include regular savings, money market, NOW and demand deposits, were $58.2 million, or 36.1% of total deposits, at September 30, 2008. Core deposits were $59.1 million or 36.2% of total deposits at December 31, 2007. Time deposits totaled $103.1 million at September 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million from $104.1 million at December 31, 2007.

CAPITAL
During the first nine months of 2008, stockholders' equity decreased $3.04 million to $13.7 million at September 30, 2008, from $16.7 million at December 31, 2007. The change in stockholder’s equity was due primarily to net loss of $2.3 million and a $699,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposit accounts, available-for-sale securities, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, Fed Fund lines, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
At September 30, 2008, we held $40.1 million in available-for-sale securities. Deposits decreased approximately $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2008. We had $18.5 million of available federal funds lines and approximately $20.0 million of available borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of September 30, 2008.
We can also enter into repurchase agreement transactions should the need for additional liquidity arise. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $606,000 in repurchase agreement balances outstanding.
At September 30, 2008, the Company had capital of $13.7 million, or 6.7% of total assets as compared to $16.7 million, or 8.3% at December 31, 2007. Tennessee chartered banks that are insured by the FDIC are subject to minimum capital maintenance requirements. Regulatory guidelines define the minimum amount of qualifying capital an institution must maintain as a percentage of risk-weighted assets and average total assets.
EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), Implementation Issue No. E23, “Hedging — General: Issues Involving the Application of the Shortcut Method under Paragraph 68” (“Issue E23”). Issue E23 amends SFAS 133 to explicitly permit use of the shortcut method for hedging relationships in which interest rate swaps have nonzero fair value at the inception of the hedging relationship, provided certain conditions are met. Issue E23 was effective for hedging relationships designated on or after January 1, 2008. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” (“SAB 109”). SAB 109 expresses the current view of the staff that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SEC registrants are expected to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 4(T) – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. The Company’s Board of Directors, operating through its Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of independent outside directors, provides oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process.
Management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that the controls and procedures ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
