The unrealized losses in the investment portfolio as of September 30, 2006 are considered temporary and are a result of general market fluctuations that occur daily. The unrealized losses are from 76 securities that are all of investment grade, backed by insurance, U.S. government agency guarantees, or the full faith and credit of local municipalities throughout the United States. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Investment decisions are made by the management group of the Company and reflect the overall liquidity and strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. Management analyzes the securities portfolio frequently and manages the portfolio to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

The pension plan has a fiscal year ending September 30, providing the Company the flexibility as to the calendar year in which it makes pension plan contributions.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. These interpretations were issued to address diversity in practice and the potential under current practice for the build up of improper amounts on the balance sheet. SAB 108 expresses the SEC staff’s view that a registrant’s materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the effects of the error on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosures and that prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB 108 also states that correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. Registrants electing not to restate prior periods should reflect the effects of initially applying the guidance in SAB 108 in their annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that year. Registrants should disclose the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected in the cumulative adjustment. The disclosure should also include when and how each error arose and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial. The SEC staff encourages early application of the guidance in SAB 108 for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 permits fair value measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. The Statement also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133. It establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. Finally, SFAS 155 amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain servicing contracts. The Statement also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to choose between the amortization and fair value methods for subsequent measurements. At initial adoption, the Statement permits a one-time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights. SFAS 156 also requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but may change current practice for some entities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements
11
No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The funded status of a benefit plan will be measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation. For any other postretirement plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The Statement also requires additional disclosure in the notes to financial statements about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The Company is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers’ fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Management is in the process of assessing the impact the implementation of SFAS 158 will have on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the implementation of FIN 48 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources of Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (the Company). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and management's discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.
Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies (Critical Accounting Policies) that management believes are the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance that the systems are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting
12
policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.
The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.
For loans without individual measures of impairment, the Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.
The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Company as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. The Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Balance Sheet
Total assets for the Company increased to $280.6 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $273.1 million at December 31, 2005, representing an increase of $7.5 million or 2.7%. Total loans at September 30, 2006 were $202.4 million, an increase of $4.0 million from the December 31, 2005 amount of $198.4 million. Loan origination activity remains ahead of 2005; however, this is not totally reflected in the balance of total loans due to the significant loan repayments that are a result of refinancing of commercial and consumer loans to the secondary mortgage market. Commercial real estate sales have also contributed to the repayment totals. Net loans as a percent of total assets were 72.1% at September 30, 2006, a decrease of 0.5% from December 31, 2005. Investment securities increased to $48.8 million at September 30, 2006, or 17.4% of total assets, which is an increase of $1.5 million from $47.3 million at December 31, 2005. Federal funds sold increased $3.8 million from $0.5 million at December 31, 2005 to $4.3 million at September 30, 2006.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2006 was $1.978 million compared to $1.954 million at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of total outstanding loans, decreased to 0.97% at September 30, 2006 from 0.98% at December 31, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30,
13
2006, the Company charged off $41 thousand in loans, recovered $420 thousand from previous write-offs, and added $10 thousand to the allowance for possible losses anticipated from the authorized overdraft program (AOD). This compares favorably to the $208 thousand provided to the allowance for loan losses in the first nine months of 2005.
Of the $420 thousand in loan loss recoveries for the first nine months of 2006, $378 thousand was recognized in the most recently completed quarter. Of the $378 thousand in recoveries, $365 thousand was the result of a recovery from the makers of an unsecured commercial loan that was charged off in the first quarter of 2005. The Bank entered into a settlement agreement on April 5, 2006 for claims against the makers by accepting $365 thousand to satisfy the Bank’s claims. The recovery was recognized by the Bank on August 4, 2006 after the completion of the 90-day preference period associated with bankruptcy laws.
Management also believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2006. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.
Criticized loans are defined by management as loans that, after having undergone normal credit review, presently indicate, or have the potential, for significant weakness or high likeliness that the loans will not perform under the original terms of the loans. Criticized loans may or may not be currently accruing interest and, while they are not classified as impaired loans, management has computed probable loss amounts should the loans not perform as originally agreed. Criticized loan balances at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 totaled $3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, $464 thousand and $195 thousand, respectively, was included in the allowance for loan losses to cover for the possible losses on these loans.
The Company had $1.5 million in non-accruing loans at September 30, 2006 compared to $1.2 million at September 30, 2005, an increase of $0.3 million or 25.0% from the year earlier period.
Deposits
Total deposits of $236.9 million at September 30, 2006 represented an increase of $3.6 million from $233.3 million at December 31, 2005. Total certificates of deposit at September 30, 2006 were $131.5 million, up $4.2 million from $127.3 million at December 31, 2005. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $37.8 million at September 30, 2006, which is a 7.1% increase from $35.3 million at December 31, 2005. Interest-bearing deposits accounted for 84.0% of total deposits at September 30, 2006 as compared to 84.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2005. The trend of fewer interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits assists the Company in managing interest costs in light of higher short-term interest rates.
Short Term Borrowings
The Company utilizes two main sources of short term borrowings, overnight repurchase agreements from commercial customers that utilize the Business Investment Sweeps product and overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At September 30, 2006, the Company had total short term borrowings of $6.4 million that consisted of $4.6 million in customer repurchase agreements and $1.8 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This is compared to the $4.5 million in short term borrowings at December 31, 2005, which was entirely from customer repurchase agreements.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity was $35.1 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $33.4 million at December 31, 2005. The book value per common share was $14.38 at September 30, 2006 compared to $13.70 at December 31, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company paid three quarterly cash dividends totaling $1.2 million, or $0.72 per share. On September 21, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of 16 cents per outstanding share, or $390 thousand, payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 4, 2006. The dividend was paid on October 13, 2006.
The change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at September 30, 2006 versus December 31, 2005 was a result of the change in net unrealized losses on available for sale securities. At September 30, 2006, the Company reflected a net unrealized loss of $696 thousand, or a decrease of $85 thousand from $781 thousand at
14
December 31, 2005. The improvement in long term interest rates is largely attributable to the lessening of the unrealized losses that were recorded between the two periods.
Net Income
The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $2.8 million or $1.13 per basic and diluted share compared to $2.2 million or $0.91 per basic and diluted share for the first nine months of 2005, an increase of 24.2%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company reported net income of $1.1 million as compared to $826 thousand for the same period in 2005, an increase of 31.6%. Income per basic and diluted share was $0.45 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $0.34 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2005.
The Company had an annualized return on average assets of 1.33% and an annualized return on average equity of 10.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to a return on average assets and a return on average equity of 1.08% and 8.97%, respectively, for the same period in 2005.
The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period for 2005 is attributable to several factors, including an increase of 5.2% in net interest income, a decrease of $528 thousand in loan loss provision and a 4.3% increase in non-interest income.
Continued higher short term interest rates, and competition for deposits, and the ability to continue growing non-interest bearing demand deposits will continue to put pressure on the cost of funds, which may increase at a faster rate than increases in interest rates from earning assets. As a result of such potential margin compression, the Company’s earnings could be adversely impacted.
For the first nine months of 2006, the asset quality of the loan portfolio, the recovery settlement received from a commercial borrower and the provision recognized for the AOD program provided the Company with a net reversal of previous provision for loan losses in the amount of $320,000 as compared to the same period in 2005 when the Company provided $208,000 for potential loan losses.
The increase in non-interest income for the first nine months of 2006 was chiefly the result of one-time gains realized from the sale of securities in the amount of $40,000 and the sale of OREO for $77,000, as compared to the same period in 2005 when the Company recognized a one-time loss on the sale of OREO of $2,000.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on loans, investments and other earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. The cost of funds represents interest expense on deposits and other borrowings. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources, along with the changes in yields earned and rates paid, determine changes in net interest income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006, net interest income was $3.1 million as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2005, a 24.1% increase. Net interest income totaled $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2005. The average loan balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $7.3 million, or 3.7%, over the comparable period in 2005. The loan yield increased 61 basis points to 6.87% from 6.26% for the comparable period in 2005. The average investment securities balance for the nine months of 2006 was $46.8 million and remained relatively unchanged from the same period in 2005. The yield on investment securities for the period in 2006 was 4.20% as compared to 3.95% for 2005, or an increase of 25 basis points from the year-earlier period. The yield on earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 6.36%, an increase of 62 basis points from the yield of 5.74% reported in the comparable period of 2005. The increase in the earning assets yield for
15
the year-to-date in 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 is primarily the result of higher short-term rates. The net interest margin includes the effect of non-interest bearing sources in its calculation and is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The net interest margin increased by 16 basis points to 4.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 4.11% for the same period in 2005.
A significant component of the Company’s increase in the net interest income has been the ability to manage interest bearing deposit rates and to attract and retain low cost core deposits, especially non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. Interest bearing deposit accounts and short-term borrowings were also affected by higher short term interest rate increases with the time deposit accounts increasing 72 basis points and short-term borrowings increasing 122 basis points over the comparable period in 2005. Average time deposit balances increased to $130.1 million in 2006 as compared to $128.1 million for the prior year period, while short-term borrowings increased nearly three-fold from an average of $1.8 million during the first nine months of 2005 to an average of $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2006. Meanwhile, lower costing money market and savings accounts averaged $70.2 million for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $76.2 million during the same period in 2005. Overall, interest bearing liabilities totaled $205.5 million for the first three quarters of 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million when compared to $206.0 million for the same period in 2005. The average balance for non-interest bearing deposit accounts for the nine months of 2006 was $35.8 million or $1.3 million greater than the average balance of $34.5 million for the comparable period in 2005.
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflect the effects of ongoing increases in short-term interest rates. The yield on earning assets and for interest-bearing liabilities was 6.36% and 2.58%, respectively, which is an increase of 62 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively, for the same period in 2005. Management is pleased with the steady increase in non-interest bearing deposit balances during 2006, and it is working diligently to control the impact of higher short-term rates on retaining and attracting certificates of deposits.
The table on the following page labeled “Average Balances, Interest Yields and Rates, and Net Interest Margin” presents the average balances and rates of the various categories of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Included in the table is a measurement of interest rate spread and margin. Interest rate spread is the difference (expressed as a percentage) between the interest rate earned on earning assets less the interest expense on the interest bearing liabilities. While net interest spread provides a quick comparison of earnings rates versus the cost of funds, management believes that the interest margin provides a better measurement of performance.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income includes deposit fees, gains on the sales of investments, OREO and Loans Held for Sale, and ATM fees. Non-interest income increased 4.19% to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2005. The Company recognized a $77 thousand gain on the sale of two OREO properties during the first half of 2006. During the same period in 2005, the Company had recognized a loss of $2 thousand in OREO sales. As of September 30, 2006, the Company did not hold any OREO properties. Below is a representation of the changes to the significant components:
(In thousands) | Nine months ended | |
Non-interest Income | September 30, 2006 | September 30, 2005 | % Change |
Service charges on deposit accounts | $ 941 | $ 959 | (1.9)% |
Net gain on sales of securities | 40 | - - | 100.0% |
Net gain on sales of loans | 70 | 41 | 70.7% |
Net gain (loss) on sale of other real estate owned | 77 | (2) | 3,950% |
Income from bank owned life insurance | 194 | 185 | 4.9% |
Other (including ATM fees, etc.) | 393 | 331 | 18.4% |
Total non-interest income | $ 1,715 | $ 1,514 | 13.2% |
| • | Service charges on deposit accounts decreased 1.9% or $18 thousand primarily as the result of lower overdraft fees, due in part to daily maximum limits being placed for the automatic overdraft program, and consumers moving from fee-generating products to free checking products. |
| • | Other operating income increased $62 thousand primarily due to an increase in ATM fees and other service fees charged. |
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead costs. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $228 thousand to $6.3 million as compared to $6.0 million for the comparable period in 2005, or an increase of 3.8%. Management has been working, over the last 18 months, to establish stricter controls over non-interest expenses, and these efforts are being realized by the moderate increases in non-interest expenses over the previous year. The following table outlines the changes in significant components:
(In thousands) | Nine months ended | |
Non-interest Expense | September 30, 2006 | September 30, 2005 | % Change |
Salaries and employee benefits | $ 3,548 | $ 3,386 | 4.8% |
Net occupancy expense | 391 | 324 | 20.1% |
Equipment expense | 571 | 605 | (5.6)% |
Other operating expense | 1,765 | 1,732 | 1.9% |
Total non-interest expense | $ 6,275 | $ 6,047 | 3.8% |
| • | Salaries and employee benefits increased $162 thousand as a result of increased salary expense attributed to additional staffing for branch expansion, cost of living increases and benefit expense increases from higher plan premiums, employer-match costs for the 401-K Plan and the employee incentive program. |
| • | Net occupancy expense increased $67 thousand primarily as a result of depreciation expense related to the Colonial Heights branch, increases in building repairs and maintenance and real estate taxes. |
18
| • | Equipment expense decreased $34 thousand primarily as a result of lower depreciation expenses, due to equipment becoming fully depreciated. |
Liquidity
Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquidity is also defined as the Company’s ability to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the company in addition to meeting current and planned expenditures. The Company maintains its liquidity position through cash on hand, correspondent bank balances and investment in federal funds sold, by maintaining its investment portfolio in available for sale status and through the availability of borrowing lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and at its correspondent banks. Federal funds lines of credit are maintained with four correspondent banks. As of September 30, 2006 the Company has the following lines of credit available.
| Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta | $62,200,000 |
| Community Bankers Bank | 11,400,000 |
| SunTrust | 8,000,000 |
| Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond | 3,500,000 |

The Company had $6.4 million in outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2006 which represented a $1.9 million, or 42.2% increase from $4.5 million at December 31, 2005. At September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings consisted of $4.6 million in the Investment Sweeps (commercial repurchase agreement) Product and $1.8 million in Overnight Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
The Company monitors its liquidity position on a regular basis and continuously adjusts its assets to maintain adequate liquidity levels. The Company has established satisfactory liquidity targets, monitors its liquidity position daily, and reports its liquidity ratios to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. We consider our sources of liquidity to be sufficient to meet our estimated needs.

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $35.1 million and $33.5 million, respectively. Total number of common shares outstanding at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 2,440,750.

The Company’s leverage ratio was 12.9% at September 30, 2006 compared to 12.3% at December 31, 2005.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this discussion may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”) as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as “the Company expects,” “the Company believes” or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, the following factors:
| • | successfully manage the Company’s growth and implement its growth strategies; |
| • | continue to attract low cost core deposits to fund asset growth; |
| • | maintain capital levels adequate to support the Company’s growth; |
| • | maintain cost controls and asset qualities as the Company opens or acquires new branches; |
| • | rely on the Company’s management team, including its ability to attract and retain key personnel; |
19
| • | successfully manage interest rate risk; |
| • | respond to or anticipate changes in general economic and business conditions in the Company’s market area; |
| • | manage changes in interest rates and interest rate policies; |
| • | manage and monitor risks inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values; |
| • | compete with other banks and financial institutions and companies outside of the banking industry, including those companies that have substantially greater access to capital and other resources; |
| • | respond to demand, development and acceptance of new products and services; |
| • | handle problems with technology utilized by the Company; |
| • | plan for changing trends in customer profiles and behavior; and |
| • | monitor and manage changes in banking and other laws and regulations applicable to the Company. |
Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
In order to more closely measure interest sensitivity, the Company uses earnings simulation models on a quarterly basis. These models utilize the Company’s financial data and various management assumptions as to growth and earnings to forecast a base level of net interest income and earnings over a one-year period. This base level of earnings is then shocked assuming a sudden increase or decrease in interest rates.
There have been no changes that would significantly alter the disclosure previously reported as of December 31, 2005. For more information, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Company has concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. In addition, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
