PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. (the "Corporation," "we" or "us") is a one-bank holding company formed as a Tennessee corporation to own the shares of American Patriot Bank (the "Bank"). The Corporation was incorporated on October 10, 2003, for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the shares of the Bank by means of a share exchange (the "Share Exchange"), and becoming a registered bank holding company under the Federal Reserve Act. The Share Exchange was completed on January 23, 2004. The activities of the Corporation are subject to the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). The offices of the Corporation are the same as the principal office of the Bank. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Corporation.

American Patriot Bank commenced operations as a state chartered bank on July 9, 2001. The Bank has total assets of approximately $120 million at December 31, 2008. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), up to the maximum applicable limits thereof. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The Bank's customer base consists primarily of small to medium-sized business retailers, manufacturers, distributors, contractors, professionals, service businesses and local residents. The Bank offers a full range of competitive retail and commercial banking services. The deposit services offered include various types of checking accounts, savings accounts, money market investment accounts, certificates of deposits, and retirement accounts. Lending services include consumer installment loans, various types of mortgage loans, personal lines of credit, home equity loans, credit cards, real estate construction loans, commercial loans to small and medium size businesses and professionals, and letters of credit. The Bank also offers safe deposit boxes of various sizes. The Bank issues VISA and MasterCard credit cards and is a merchant depository for cardholder drafts under both types of credit cards. The Bank offers its customers drive-through banking services at its offices and automated teller machines ("ATMs"). The Bank has trust powers but does not have a trust department.

The Bank is subject to the regulatory authority of the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Tennessee ("TDFI") and the FDIC.

The Corporation's and the Bank's principal executive offices are both located at 3095 East Andrew Johnson Highway, Greeneville, Tennessee 37745, and its telephone number is (423) 636-1555.

Market Area and Competition

All phases of the Bank's business are highly competitive. The Bank is subject to intense competition from various financial institutions and other companies or firms that offer financial services. The Bank competes for deposits with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and issuers of commercial paper and other securities, such as money-market and mutual funds. In making loans, the Bank is expected to compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies, and other lenders.

The Bank's primary market area is Greene County and Blount County, Tennessee. In Greene County as of June 30, 2008, there were 7 banks and 1 savings and loan institution, with at least 26 offices actively engaged in banking activities, including 3 major state-wide financial institutions, with a total of $1.3 billion in deposits. In Blount County as of June 30, 2008, there were 13 banks and 1 savings and loan institution with at least 45 offices actively engaged in banking activities, including 4 major state-wide financial institutions, with a total of $1.6 billion in deposits. In addition, there are numerous credit unions, finance companies, and other financial services providers.

Employees

At December 31, 2008, the Bank employed 41 persons on a full-time basis, and 7 persons on a part-time basis. The Bank's employees are not represented by any union or other collective bargaining agreement, and the Bank believes its employee relations are satisfactory.

Supervision and Regulation

Bank Holding Company Regulation

The Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding Company Act"), and is registered with the Federal Reserve Board. Its banking subsidiaries are subject to restrictions under federal law which limit the transfer of funds by the subsidiary banks to their respective holding companies and nonbanking subsidiaries, whether in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments, or asset purchases. Such transfers by any subsidiary bank to its holding company or any non-banking subsidiary are limited in amount to 10% of the subsidiary bank's capital and surplus and, with respect to the Corporation and all such nonbanking subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of such bank's capital and surplus. Furthermore, such loans and extensions of credit are required to be secured in specified amounts. The Holding Company Act also prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a bank holding company from engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting stock of any company engaged in non banking activities. An exception to this prohibition is for activities expressly found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto or financial in nature.

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board semi-annual reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require. The Federal Reserve Board also makes examinations of the Corporation.

According to Federal Reserve Board policy, bank holding companies are expected to act as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support each such subsidiary. This support may be required at times when a bank holding company may not be able to provide such support. Furthermore, in the event of a loss suffered or anticipated by the FDIC—either as a result of default of a banking or thrift subsidiary of the Corporation or related to FDIC assistance provided to a subsidiary in danger of default—the other banking subsidiaries of the Corporation may be assessed for the FDIC's loss, subject to certain exceptions.

Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends the subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. The payment of dividends by any bank also may be affected by other factors, such as the maintenance of adequate capital for such subsidiary bank. In addition to the foregoing restrictions, the Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit dividends by bank holding companies if their actions constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve Board's view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should not pay cash dividends that exceed its net income or that could only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. Furthermore, the TDFI also has authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by a Tennessee bank when it determines such payment to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

Table of Contents

A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prohibited from acquiring any voting shares of, or interest in, any banks located outside of the state in which the operations of the bank holding company's subsidiaries are located, unless the acquisition is specifically authorized by the statutes of the state in which the target is located. Further, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension of credit or provision of any property or service. Thus, an affiliate of a bank holding company may not extend credit, lease or sell property, or furnish any services or fix or vary the consideration for these on the condition that (i) the customer must obtain or provide some additional credit, property or services from or to its bank holding company or subsidiaries thereof or (ii) the customer may not obtain some other credit, property, or services from a competitor, except to the extent reasonable conditions are imposed to assure the soundness of the credit extended.

In approving acquisitions by bank holding companies of banks and companies engaged in the banking-related activities described above, the Federal Reserve Board considers a number of factors, including the expected benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, as weighed against the risks of possible adverse effects such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board is also empowered to differentiate between new activities and activities commenced through the acquisition of a going concern.

The Attorney General of the United States may, within 30 days after approval by the Federal Reserve Board of an acquisition, bring an action challenging such acquisition under the federal antitrust laws, in which case the effectiveness of such approval is stayed pending a final ruling by the courts. Failure of the Attorney General to challenge an acquisition does not, however, exempt the holding company from complying with both state and federal antitrust laws after the acquisition is consummated or immunize the acquisition from future challenge under the anti-monopolization provisions of the Sherman Act.

Capital Guidelines

The Federal Reserve Board has risk based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and member banks. Under the guidelines, the minimum ratio of capital to risk weighted assets (including certain off balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. To be considered a "well capitalized" bank or bank holding company under the guidelines, a bank or bank holding company must have a total risk based capital ratio in excess of 10%.

At least half of the total capital is to be comprised of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, after subtracting goodwill and certain other adjustments ("Tier I capital"). The remainder may consist of perpetual debt, mandatory convertible debt securities, a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock not qualifying for Tier I capital, and a limited amount of loan loss reserves ("Tier II capital"). The Bank is subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board, and the FDIC have adopted a minimum leverage ratio (Tier I capital to total assets) of 3% (or 4% if the bank's CAMEL rating is below "1"). Generally, banking organizations are expected to operate well above the minimum required capital level of 3% unless they meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory ratings. Most banking organizations are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3%, plus an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%. Most community banks are encouraged to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 6.5% to 7.0%; the Bank's leverage ratio at December 31, 2008, was 7.85%. The guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance upon intangible assets.

Table of Contents

Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), failure to meet the capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to federal regulatory authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This legislation represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity securities registered, or that file reports under, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, the act establishes (i) new requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the reporting company and new requirements for them to certify the accuracy of periodic reports; (iii) new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers, including an accelerated time frame for reporting of insider transactions; and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the federal securities laws. The legislation also established a new accounting oversight board to enforce auditing standards and restrict the scope of services that accounting firms may provide to their public company audit clients.

Because the Corporation's common stock is registered with the SEC, it is subject to the requirements of this legislation. At the present time, and subject to the final rules and regulations to be adopted and issued by the SEC, management anticipates that the Corporation will incur additional expense as a result of the act but does not expect that the Corporation's compliance will have a material impact on its business. To the extent that the Corporation has already implemented the requirements of this legislation and the related regulations, compliance has been accomplished with existing Corporation personnel and the hiring of additional outside consultants.

The Corporation files periodic reports with the SEC. The public may read and copy any materials the Corporation files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information regarding the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding the Corporation that the Corporation files electronically with the SEC. This information may be found at www.sec.gov.

Bank Regulation

The Bank is a Tennessee state-chartered bank and is subject to the regulations of and supervision by the FDIC as well as the TDFI, Tennessee's state banking authority. The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy.

Table of Contents

From time to time, legislation is enacted which has the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial institutions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions are frequently made in Congress, in the Tennessee legislature and before various bank regulatory and other professional agencies. The likelihood of any major legislative changes and the impact such changes might have on the Bank are impossible to predict.

General. The Bank, as a Tennessee state chartered bank, is subject to primary supervision, periodic examination and regulation by the Commissioner of the TDFI ("Commissioner") and the FDIC. If, as a result of an examination of a bank, the FDIC should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the Bank's operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various remedies are available to the FDIC. Such remedies include the power to enjoin "unsafe or unsound" practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of the Bank, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors and ultimately to terminate a Bank's deposit insurance. The Commissioner has many of the same remedial powers, including the power to take possession of a bank whose capital becomes impaired.

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC in the manner and to the extent provided by law. For this protection, the Bank pays a semiannual statutory assessment. Although the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is nevertheless subject to certain regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.

Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the State of Tennessee and the United States affect the operations of the Bank. State and federal statutes and regulations relate to many aspects of the Bank's operations, including reserves against deposits, interest rates payable on deposits, loans, investments, mergers and acquisitions, borrowings, dividends, locations of branch offices and capital requirements. Further, the Bank is required to maintain certain levels of capital and meet additional specific requirements established by banking regulators.

Tennessee law contains limitations on the interest rates that may be charged on various types of loans and restrictions on the nature and amount of loans that may be granted and on the types of investments which may be made. The operations of banks are also affected by various consumer laws and regulations, including those relating to equal credit opportunity and regulation of consumer lending practices. All Tennessee banks must become and remain insured banks under the FDIA ("Federal Deposit Insurance Act"). (See 12 U.S.C. §1811, et seq.).

Payment of Dividends. The Bank is subject to the Tennessee Banking Act, which limits a bank's ability to pay dividends. The payment of dividends by any bank is dependent upon its earnings and financial condition and subject to the statutory power of certain federal and state regulatory agencies to act to prevent what they deem unsafe or unsound banking practices. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank, be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Under Tennessee law, the board of directors of a state bank may not declare dividends in any calendar year that exceeds the total of its retained net income of the preceding two (2) years without the prior approval of the TDFI. The FDIA prohibits a state bank, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, from paying dividends if it is in default in the payment of any assessments due the FDIC. The Bank is also subject to the minimum capital requirements of the FDIC which impact the Bank's ability to pay dividends. If the Bank fails to meet these standards, it may not be able to pay dividends or to accept additional deposits because of regulatory requirements.

Table of Contents

If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authority, a depository institution is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the depository institution, could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require that such institution cease and desist from such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution's capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board, the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.

The payment of dividends by the Bank is limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines and other regulatory requirements. As indicated in Part II, Item 5 of this Report, we do not foresee paying dividends in the near future.

FIRREA. Congress enacted the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") on August 9, 1989. FIRREA provides that a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9, 1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institution in danger of default. FIRREA provides that certain types of persons affiliated with financial institutions can be fined by the federal regulatory agency having jurisdiction over a depository institution with federal deposit insurance (such as the Bank) up to $1 million per day for each violation of certain regulations related (primarily) to lending to and transactions with executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and the interests of these individuals. Other violations may result in civil money penalties of $5,000 to $30,000 per day or in criminal fines and penalties. In addition, the FDIC has been granted enhanced authority to withdraw or to suspend deposit insurance in certain cases.

FDICIA. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") which was enacted on December 19, 1991, substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions of the FDIA and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Under applicable regulations, a FDIC-insured depository institution is defined to be well capitalized if it maintains a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, a risk adjusted Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6% and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of at least 10% and is not subject to a directive, order or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. An insured depository institution is defined to be adequately capitalized if it meets all of its minimum capital requirements as described above. In addition, an insured depository institution will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below such measure and critically undercapitalized if it fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to not less than 2% of total assets. An insured depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.

The capital-based prompt corrective action provision of FDICIA and their implementing regulations apply to FDIC-insured depository institutions and are not directly applicable to holding companies which control such institutions. However, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that, in regulating bank holding companies, it will take appropriate action at the holding company level based on an assessment of the effectiveness of supervisory actions imposed upon subsidiary depository institutions pursuant to such provisions and regulations.

Table of Contents

FDICIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. A depository institution's holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the institution fails to comply with the plan. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.

Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator generally within 90 days of the date on which they became critically undercapitalized.

FDICIA contains numerous other provisions, including accounting, audit and reporting requirements, termination of the "too big to fail" doctrine except in special cases, limitations on the FDIC's payment of deposits at foreign branches, new regulatory standards in such areas as asset quality, earnings and compensation and revised regulatory standards for, among other things, powers of state banks, real estate lending and capital adequacy. FDICIA also requires that a depository institution provide 90 days prior notice of the closing of any branches.

Various other legislation, including proposals to revise the bank regulatory system and to limit the investments that a depository institution may make with insured funds, is from time to time introduced in Congress. The TDFI and FDIC will examine the Bank periodically for compliance with various regulatory requirements. Such examinations, however, are for the protection of the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") and for depositors, and not for the protection of investors and shareholders.

Interstate Act. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Interstate Act"), which was enacted on September 29, 1994, among other things and subject to certain conditions and exceptions, permits on an interstate basis (i) bank holding company acquisitions commencing one year after enactment of banks of a minimum age of up to five years as established by state law in any state, (ii) mergers of national and state banks after May 31, 1997 unless the home state of either bank has opted out of the interstate bank merger provision, (iii) branching de novo by national and state banks if the host state has opted-in to this provision of the Interstate Act, and (iv) certain bank agency activities after one year after enactment. The Interstate Act contains a 30% intrastate deposit cap, except for the initial acquisition in the state, restriction that applies to certain interstate acquisitions unless a different intrastate cap has been adopted by the applicable state pursuant to the provisions of the Interstate Act and a 10% national deposit cap restriction. Tennessee has opted-in to the Interstate Act. Management cannot predict the extent to which the business of the Bank may be affected. Tennessee has also adopted legislation allowing banks to acquire branches across state lines subject to certain conditions, including the availability of similar legislation in the other state.

Brokered Deposits and Pass-Through Insurance. The FDIC has adopted regulations under FDICIA governing the receipt of brokered deposits and pass-through insurance. Under the regulations, a bank cannot accept or rollover or renew brokered deposits unless (i) it is well capitalized or (ii) it is adequately capitalized and receives a waiver from the FDIC. In addition, bank regulators can limit a bank's ability to accept brokered deposits or other volatile funding. The Bank is currently limited in its ability to increase brokered deposits. A bank that cannot receive brokered deposits also cannot offer "pass-through" insurance on certain employee benefit accounts. Whether or not it has obtained such a waiver, an adequately capitalized bank may not pay an interest rate on any deposits in excess of 75 basis points over certain index prevailing market rates specified by regulation. There are no such restrictions on a bank that is well capitalized.

FDIC Insurance Premiums. The Bank is required to pay semiannual FDIC deposit insurance assessments to the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"). The FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") to form the DIF on March 31, 2006 in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. The amount each institution is assessed is based upon statutory factors that include the balance of insured deposits as well as the degree of risk the institution poses to the insurance fund. The FDIC uses a risk-based premium system that assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose greater risks to the DIF. Under the rule adopted by the FDIC in November 2006, beginning in 2007, the FDIC placed each institution in one of four risk categories using a two-step process based first on capital ratios (the capital group assignment) and then on other relevant information (the supervisory group assignment). Currently, rates range between $.07 and $.78 per $100 in assessable deposits. The rate ranges are based on the four risk categories that in turn are based on asset size as well as capital, supervisory, credit, and other risk factors. Within the range for a given risk category, the rate applicable to any particular institution is determined by the FDIC according to formal guidelines. Any change in these rates and the category of risk into which the Bank will fall could have an adverse effect on the Bank's earnings.

Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by a federal bank regulatory agency.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act adopted in November 1999 has been referred to as the most important banking bill in over 60 years. The most significant provisions ratify new powers for banks and bank holding companies, especially in the areas of securities and insurance. The Act also includes requirements regarding the privacy and protection of customer information held by financial institutions, as well as many other providers of financial services. There are provisions providing for functional regulation of the various services provided by institutions among different regulators. There are other provisions which limit the future expansion of unitary thrift holding companies which now prevent companies like Wal-Mart from owning a thrift institution. Finally, among many other sections of the Act, there is some relief for small banks from the regulatory burden of the Community Reinvestment Act. The regulatory agencies have been adopting many new regulations to implement the Act.

USA Patriot Act. On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 into law. This act contains the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "IMLAFA"). The IMLAFA substantially broadens existing anti-money laundering legislation and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the United States, imposes new compliance and due diligence obligations, creates new crimes and penalties, compels the production of documents located both inside and outside the United States, including those of foreign institutions that have a correspondent relationship in the United States, and clarifies the safe harbor from civil liability to customers. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a number of regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT Act that apply certain of its requirements to financial institutions such as our banking and broker-dealer subsidiaries. The regulations impose new obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing. The Treasury Department is expected to issue a number of additional regulations which will further clarify the USA PATRIOT Act's requirements.

The IMLAFA requires all "financial institutions," as defined, to establish anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs. Such programs are required to include, among other things, adequate policies, the designation of a compliance officer, employee training programs, and an independent audit function to review and test the program. The Bank has established anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs to comply with IMLAFA.

Capital Requirements. The federal regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation of banks. If the capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, the Bank may (1) be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open facilities, or (2) be subject to other regulatory restrictions or actions.

Banking organizations historically were required to maintain a minimum ratio of primary capital to total assets of 5.5%, and a minimum ratio of total capital to total assets of 6.0%. The primary and total capital ratio requirements have been replaced by the adoption of risk-based and leverage capital requirements.

Risk-Based Capital Requirements

The FDIC adopted risk-based capital guidelines for banks effective after December 31, 1990. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The ratios are minimums. The guidelines require all federally regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio of 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier I capital (see the description of Tier I capital and Tier II capital below).

Table of Contents

A banking organization's qualifying total capital consists of two components: Tier I capital (core capital) and Tier II capital (supplementary capital). Tier I capital is an amount equal to the sum of: (i) common shareholders' equity (including adjustments for any surplus or deficit); (ii) non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock; and (iii) the company's minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Intangible assets generally must be deducted from Tier I capital, subject to limited exceptions for goodwill arising from certain supervisory acquisitions. Other intangible assets may be included in an amount up to 25% of Tier I capital, provided that the asset meets each of the following criteria: (i) the asset must be able to be separated and sold apart from the banking organization or the bulk of its assets; (ii) the market value of the asset must be established on an annual basis through an identifiable stream of cash flows and there must be a high degree of certainty that the asset will hold this market value notwithstanding the future prospects of the banking organization; and (iii) the banking organization must demonstrate that a liquid market exists for the asset. Intangible assets in excess of 25% of Tier I capital generally are deducted from a banking organization's regulatory capital. At least 50% of the banking organization's total regulatory capital must consist of Tier I capital.

Tier II capital is an amount equal to the sum of (i) the allowance for possible credit losses in an amount up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) cumulative perpetual preferred stock with an original maturity of 20 years or more and related surplus; (iii) hybrid capital instruments (instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity), perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities; and (iv) in an amount up to 50% of Tier I capital, eligible term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock with an original maturity of five years or more, including related surplus. The inclusion of the foregoing elements of Tier II capital are subject to certain requirements and limitations of the FDIC.

Investments in unconsolidated banking and finance subsidiaries, investments in securities subsidiaries and reciprocal holdings of capital instruments must be deducted from capital. The federal banking regulators may require other deductions on a case-by-case basis.

Under the risk-weighted capital guidelines, balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit, are assigned to one of four risk weight categories (0%, 20%, 50%, or 100%) according to the nature of the asset and its collateral or the identity of any obligor or guarantor. For example, cash is assigned to the 0% risk category, while loans secured by one-to-four family residences are assigned to the 50% risk category. The aggregate amount of such asset and off-balance sheet items in each risk category is adjusted by the risk weight assigned to that category to determine weighted values, which are added together to determine the total risk-weighted assets for the banking organization. Accordingly, an asset, such as a commercial loan, which is assigned to a 100% risk category is included in risk-weighted assets at its nominal face value, whereas a loan secured by a single-family home mortgage is included at only 50% of its nominal face value. The application ratios are equal to capital, as determined, divided by risk-weighted assets, as determined.

Leverage Capital Requirements

The FDIC has a regulation requiring certain banking organizations to maintain additional capital of 1% to 2% above a 3% minimum Tier I Leverage Capital Ratio (Tier I capital, less intangible assets, to total assets). In order for an institution to operate at or near the minimum Tier I leverage capital requirement of 3%, the FDIC expects that such institution would have well-diversified risk, no undue rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity and good earnings. In general, the bank would have to be considered a strong banking organization, rated in the highest category under the bank rating system and have no significant plans for expansion. Higher Tier I leverage capital ratios of up to 5% will generally be required if all of the above characteristics are not exhibited, or if the institution is undertaking expansion, seeking to engage in new activities, or otherwise faces unusual or abnormal risks.

Table of Contents

The FDIC rule provides that institutions not in compliance with the regulation are expected to be operating in compliance with a capital plan or agreement with the regulator. If they do not do so, they are deemed to be engaging in an unsafe and unsound practice and may be subject to enforcement action. In addition, failure by an institution to maintain capital of at least 2% of assets constitutes an unsafe and unsound practice and may subject the institution to enforcement action. An institution's failure to maintain capital of at least 2% of assets constitutes an unsafe and unsound condition justifying termination of FDIC insurance.

Depositor Preference. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depositary institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver.

Effect of Governmental Policies. The Bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national money supply. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve are: purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities in the marketplace; changes in the discount rate, which is the rate any depository institution must pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve; and changes in the reserve requirements of depository institutions. These instruments are effective in influencing economic and monetary growth, interest rate levels and inflation.

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System and other governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. Because of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money market, as well as the result of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, it is not possible to predict with certainty future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Bank or whether the changing economic conditions will have a positive or negative effect on operations and earnings.

Bills are pending before the United States Congress and the Tennessee General Assembly which could affect the business of the Bank, and there are indications that other similar bills may be introduced in the future. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Bank may be affected thereby.

Investment Policy

The objective of the Bank's investment policy is to invest funds not otherwise needed to meet the loan demand of its market area to earn the maximum return for the Bank, yet still maintain sufficient liquidity to meet fluctuations in the Bank's loan demand and deposit structure. In doing so, the Bank balances the market and credit risks against the potential investment return, makes investments compatible with the pledge requirements of the Bank's deposits of public funds, maintains compliance with regulatory investment requirements, and assists the various public entities with their financing needs. The asset liability and investment committee has full authority over the investment portfolio and makes decisions on purchases and sales of securities. The entire portfolio, along with all investment transactions occurring since the previous Board of Director's meeting, is reviewed by the Board at its next monthly meeting. The investment policy allows portfolio holdings to include short-term securities purchased to provide the Bank's needed liquidity and longer term securities purchased to generate level income for the Bank over periods of interest rate fluctuations. At this time the Bank does not have a security portfolio.

Loan Policy

All lending activities of the Bank are under the direct supervision and control of the full Board of Directors and Douglas P. Archbold, Chief Credit Officer. The Board of Directors enforces loan authorizations, decides on loans exceeding such limits, services all requests for officer credits to the extent allowable under current laws and regulations, administers all problem credits, and determines the allocation of funds for each lending division. The Bank's established maximum loan volume to deposits is 100%. The loan portfolio consists primarily of real estate, commercial, farming and installment loans. Commercial loans consist of either real estate loans or term loans. Maturity of term loans is normally limited to five to seven years. Conventional real estate loans may be made up to 85% of the appraised value or purchase cost of the real estate for no more than a thirty year term. Installment loans are based on the earning capacity and vocational stability of the borrower.

The full Board makes a monthly review of loans which are 30 days or more past due and the full Board of Directors makes a monthly review of loans which are 45 days or more past due.

Management of the Bank periodically reviews the loan portfolio, particularly nonaccrual and renegotiated loans. The review may result in a determination that a loan should be placed on a nonaccrual status for income recognition. In addition, to the extent that management identifies potential losses in the loan portfolio, it reduces the book value of such loans, through charge-offs, to their estimated collectible value. In the event that a loan is 90 days or more past due the accrual of income is generally discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt unless the obligations are both well secured and in the process of collection. The Bank maintains a specific reserve for impaired loans.

When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, any unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Interest is included in income thereafter only to the extent received in cash. The loan remains in a nonaccrual classification until such time as the loan is brought current, when it may be returned to accrual classification. When principal or interest on a nonaccrual loan is brought current, if in management's opinion future payments are questionable, the loan would remain classified as nonaccrual. After a nonaccrual or renegotiated loan is charged off, any subsequent payments of either interest or principal are applied first to any remaining balance outstanding, then to recoveries and lastly to income.

The Bank had no tax-exempt loans during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Bank had no loans outstanding to foreign borrowers at December 31, 2008. The Bank's underwriting guidelines are applied to four major categories of loans, commercial and industrial, consumer, agricultural and real estate which includes residential, construction and development and certain other real estate loans. The Bank requires its loan officers and Board to consider the borrower's character, the borrower's financial condition as reflected in current financial statements, the borrower's management capability, the borrower's industry and the economic environment in which the loan will be repaid. Before approving a loan, the loan officer or Board must determine that the borrower is basically honest and creditworthy, determine that the borrower is a capable manager, understand the specific purpose of the loan, understand the source and plan of repayment, determine that the purpose, plan and source of repayment as well as collateral are acceptable, reasonable and practical given the normal framework within which the borrower operates.

Credit Risk Management and Reserve for Loan Losses

Credit risk and exposure to loss are inherent parts of the banking business. Management seeks to manage and minimize these risks through its loan and investment policies and loan review procedures. Management establishes and continually reviews lending and investment criteria and approval procedures that it believes reflect the risk sensitive nature of the Bank. The loan review procedures are set to monitor adherence to the established criteria and to ensure that such standards are enforced and maintained on a continuing basis. Management's objective in establishing lending and investment standards is to manage the risk of loss and provide for income generation through pricing policies.

Table of Contents

The loan portfolio is regularly reviewed, and management determines the amount of loans to be charged-off. In addition, such factors as the Bank's previous loan loss experience, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, any industry concentrations and the overall quality of the loan portfolio are considered. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and real estate owned, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowances for losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available at the time of their examinations. In addition, any loan or portion thereof which is classified as a "loss" by regulatory examiners is charged-off.

Capital Resources/Liquidity

Liquidity. Of primary importance to depositors, creditors and regulators is the ability to have readily available funds sufficient to repay fully maturing liabilities. The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash due from banks, is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities. In order to insure funds are available at all times, the Bank devotes resources to projecting on a monthly basis the amount of funds which will be required and maintains relationships with a diversified customer base so funds are accessible. Liquidity requirements can also be met through short-term borrowings or the disposition of short-term assets which are generally matched to correspond to the maturity of liabilities.

The Bank has a formal liquidity policy whereby management considers several liquidity ratios on a monthly basis to determine the adequacy of liquidity. In the opinion of management, its liquidity levels are considered adequate. The Bank is subject to general FDIC guidelines which do not require a minimum level of liquidity. Management believes its liquidity ratios meet or exceed these guidelines. Management does not know of any trends or demands which are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material manner.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation on operations of the Bank is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services.

Capital Adequacy

Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital required to sustain asset growth over time and to absorb losses. The objective of the Bank's management is to maintain a level of capitalization that is sufficient to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities while meeting regulatory requirements. This is achieved by improving profitability through effectively allocating resources to more profitable businesses, improving asset quality, strengthening service quality, and streamlining costs. The primary measures used by management to monitor the results of these efforts are the ratios of average equity to average assets, average tangible equity to average tangible assets, and average equity to net loans.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted capital guidelines governing the activities of bank holding companies. These guidelines require the maintenance of an amount of capital based on risk-adjusted assets so that categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more capital backing than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain off-balance sheet activities such as loan commitments.

Table of Contents

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") established five capital categories for banks and bank holding companies. The bank regulators adopted regulations defining these five capital categories in September 1992. Under these regulations, each bank is classified into one of the five categories based on its level of risk-based capital as measured by Tier I capital, total risk-based capital, and Tier I leverage ratios and its supervisory ratings.

The following table lists the five categories of capital and each of the minimum requirements for the three risk-based capital ratios.



Well-capitalized	10% or above	6% or above	5% or above
Adequately capitalized	8% or above	4% or above	4% or above
Undercapitalized	Less than 8%	Less than 4%	Less than 4%
Significantly undercapitalized	Less than 6%	Less than 3%	Less than 3%
Critically undercapitalized	—	—	2% or less

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

The Bank issued stock option agreements to certain officers and employees ("Options"), at various times beginning on July 16, 2001. These Options were not approved by the shareholders, as such approval is not necessary for these non-qualified option agreements. Upon consummation of the Share Exchange, the Corporation became party to these options issued by the Bank.

The following table reflects the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Option agreements, the weighted-average exercise price of all such options, and the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of authorized, not-yet-granted options as of December 31, 2008:

Plan Category		Weighted-average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants, and Rights (b)

Equity Compensation Plans Approved by Security Holders	—		—	—
Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Security Holders	71,150	$	6.92	166,859

Total	71,150	$	6.92	166,859

The maximum number of shares of the Corporation's common stock available for issuance pursuant to stock options is 375,000 shares. As of December 31, 2008 the maximum number of shares available for future stock option grants is 166,859 shares. The option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the Corporation's common stock at the date of the grant. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the option. Prior to adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, the Corporation elected to vest immediately all remaining stock options as of May 17, 2005. Proceeds received by the Corporation from exercises of the stock options are credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In July 2001, the Bank issued 750,000 shares of its common stock in an initial offering. This sale was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3. In the past three years, neither the Bank nor the Corporation has sold any additional shares of its common stock, except as follows:

•: On July 10, 2007, Julia Ball and Peggy Daugherty exercised the option to purchase 1,110 and 1,110 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.33 per share, respectively. On September 21, 2007, Mike Burns exercised the option to purchase 1,100 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.33 per share. On April 28, 2008, J. Robert Grubbs exercised the option to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.33 per share. The Corporation relied on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for each of these transactions, and no underwriters were engaged in connection with these transactions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to obtain a better understanding of the information contained in the financial statements. The discussions contained herein are for the consolidated entity American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiary American Patriot Bank (the "Bank") collectively referred to herein as the "Company".

Overview

During 2008, the entire financial industry experienced significant instability and anxiety as economic conditions deteriorated. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year as well as increasing foreclosures and unemployment have been widespread. The Company did not participate in the subprime residential mortgage loans to retail customers, and did not invest in mortgaged backed securities of the preferred stock of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Nonetheless, the effects of a slowing economy, steep declines in housing starts and real estate development and related sale activities adversely affected by the Company's portfolio of loans to builders and developers of residential real estate. The Company's loans to commercial customers in the related building trades and allied industries have also been adversely impacted. As a result, the Company's net loss has increased in 2008, primarily due to the increased provisions for loan losses.

Impact of Inflation

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company follows generally accepted accounting principles that are recognized in the United States, along with general practices within the banking industry. In connection with the application of those principles and practices, we have made judgments and estimates which, in the case of our allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), are material to the determination of our financial position and results of operation. Other estimates relate to the valuation of assets acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and realization of deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, ("SFAS 156") an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, ("SFAS 140"), which requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and requires entities to elect either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement 140 for subsequent measurement. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 applies to all income tax positions subject to FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Tax ("SFAS 109"), including tax positions considered to be routine and those with a high degree of uncertainty. FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The effective date for SFAS 157 was for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue 06-04,Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, ("EITF 06-04") which requires employers that enter into endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a postretirement benefit to recognize a liability for the future benefits promised based on the substantive agreement made with the employer. Whether the accrual is based on a death benefit or on the future cost of maintaining the insurance would depend on what the employer has effectively agreed to provide during the employee's retirement. The purchase of an endorsement-type life insurance policy does not qualify as a settlement of the liability. The consensus in EITF 06-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company adopted EITF 06-04 effective January 1, 2008, and its adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, ("SFAS 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement was effective as of January 1, 2008; however, it had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements because it did not elect the fair value option for any financial instrument not presently being accounted for at fair value.

Table of Contents

In March 2007, the EITF reached a final consensus on Issue No. 06-10,Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, ("EITF 06-10"). EITF 06-10 requires employers to recognize a liability for the post-retirement benefit related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements in accordance with SFAS No. 106 or APB Opinion No. 12. EITF 06-10 also requires employers to recognize and measure an asset based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The provisions of EITF 06-10 were effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. EITF 06-10 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When The Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP was effective for the Company upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued; and, therefore was effective for the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. Adoption of FSP No. 157-3 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8,Disclosures about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities ("FSP 140-4 and 46(R)-8"). This FSP requires additional disclosures by public entities with continuing involvement in transfers of financial assets to special purpose entities and with variable interests in VIEs, including sponsors that have a variable interest in a VIE. Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public entity that is (1) a sponsor of a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE, and (2) a servicer of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) that ends after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP 140-4 and 46(R)-8 as of December 31, 2008, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or do not apply to its operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Management's discussion of the Company and management's analysis of the Company's operations and prospects, and other matters, may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other provisions of federal and state securities laws. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements contained in this Report are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. The use of such words as "expect," "anticipate," "forecast," and comparable terms should be understood by the reader to indicate that the statement is "forward-looking" and thus subject to change in a manner that can be unpredictable. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results anticipated, but not guaranteed, in this Report, include (without limitation) economic and social conditions, competition for loans, mortgages, and other financial services and products, changes in interest rates, unforeseen changes in liquidity, results of operations, and financial conditions affecting the Company's customers, and other risks that cannot be accurately quantified or completely identified. Many factors affecting the Company's financial condition and profitability, including changes in economic conditions, the volatility of interest rates, political events and competition from other providers of financial services simply cannot be predicted. Because these factors are unpredictable and beyond the Company's control, earnings may fluctuate from period to period. The purpose of this type of information is to provide readers with information relevant to understanding and assessing the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, and not to predict the future or to guarantee results. The Company is unable to predict the types of circumstances, conditions and factors that can cause anticipated results to change. The Company undertakes no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of changes or unanticipated events, circumstances, or results.

Results of Operations

The Company had a net loss of $558,728 for the year ended December 31, 2008 (or a negative $.24 per share) compared to a net loss of $190,585 (or a negative $.08 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net Interest Income/Margin

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of the Company's earnings. Interest income for 2008 was $7,324,977 compared to $8,024,221 in 2007. Total interest expense was $3,434,935 in 2008 compared to $3,880,004 in 2007. Average earning assets increased approximately $10 million (10.73%) to approximately $104 million for the year 2008 as compared to $94 million for the year 2007. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $11 million (13.51%) in 2008 to $96 million as compared to $85 million in 2007. Net interest margin was 3.72% in 2008 compared to 4.39% in 2007, or 67 basis points decrease. The net change in the net interest margin was significant because the net decreases in the yield on interest-earning assets was approximately 150 basis points compared to the decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 101 basis points, which is attributable to the Bank being asset sensitive with assets repricing faster than liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to operations necessary to establish an estimated allowance for loan losses, which in management's evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for estimated losses on outstanding loans. The estimated allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon the Bank's historical loss experience adjusted for certain other factors based on management's judgment.

Table of Contents

The year 2008 represents the Bank's seventh full year of operations. During 2008, the Bank recognized a provision for loan losses of $1,297,538. The Bank incurred a decrease in net charge-offs during 2008 as compared with 2007. Net charge-offs were $17,973 and $454,836 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. This impacted the Bank's historical loss ratio and consequently the allowance for loan losses calculation. Gross loans increased from $92,942,928 at December 31, 2007 to $105,701,210 or 13.7% at December 31, 2008. This approximate $12,800,000 increase in gross loans resulted in the need for additional allowance for loan losses. Finally, loans classified as impaired increased substantially during 2008, primarily in the fourth quarter of the year. Impaired loans at December 31, 2008 were $7,154,200 as compared to $6,269,888 at December 31, 2007. Management has evaluated its impaired loans and provided valuation allowances as considered necessary which further contributed to the 2008 provision for loan losses.

Management feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in the future, including as a result of possible changes in the economic assumptions underlying management's estimates and judgments, adverse developments in the economy, and the residential real estate market in particular, or changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers. In 2009, management intends to pursue more aggressive strategies for problem loan resolution, and is committed to bolster loan loss reserves to levels sufficient to absorb losses recognized in the pursuit of this strategy.

Provisions for Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of the estimated allowance for loan losses and accumulated depreciation. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. For further information regarding the provisions for income taxes see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income

The Company's noninterest income consists of service charges on deposit accounts and other fees and commissions. Total noninterest income for 2008 was $673,938 compared to $757,409 in 2007, respectively. Service charge income decreased during 2008 by $36,610 or 6.6% when compared to 2007. This was due to a decreased number of customers utilizing overdraft protection products in 2008 over those in 2007. Most of the other noninterest income increase is due to earnings on the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance or ("BOLI"). Earnings on BOLI for the year 2008 were $107,352 as compared to $46,146 for the year 2007. This difference is due to the year 2008 having BOLI in effect for the entire year, whereas, the year 2007, BOLI was in effect starting June 2007. Gains in other noninterest income were offset by decreases of $57,045 or 77.4% and $58,113 or 85.7% in fees from origination of mortgage loans sold and investment sale commissions, respectively. The reason for the decrease in investment sale commissions is due to the elimination of that department in early 2008. Management projects that other fees and service charges will increase in 2008 due to a more aggressive collection policy for other fees and service charges.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expenses, and other operating expenses. The following shows the comparison of our noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

			Years ended December 31,				2008-2007 Percent Increase (Decrease)

			2008		2007		2008-2007 Percent Increase (Decrease)
Noninterest expense:
	Salaries and employee benefits		$	2,038,169	$	2,186,911		(6.8	)%
	Occupancy			609,948		602,754		1.2	%
	Advertising			130,532		123,013		6.1	%
	Data processing			329,062		277,826		18.4	%
	Legal and professional			373,261		413,977		(9.8	)%
	Other operating			718,929		723,208		(0.6	)%

		Total noninterest expense	$	4,199,901	$	4,327,689		(2.95	)%

The primary cause of the decrease in noninterest expense between 2008 and 2007 is the decreased costs of salaries and employee benefits. Even though the costs of legal and professional fees decreased, this amount remains high due to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2008, were $119,592,826, an increase of $3,058,503 or 2.6% over 2007 year end assets of $116,534,323. Deposits decreased to $103,739,177 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $1,290,162 or 1.2% from $105,029,339 at December 31, 2007. Gross loans increased by $12,758,282, or 13.7%, to $105,701,210 at year end 2008, from $92,942,928 at year-end 2007. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock increased $32,400 or 12.5% to $291,200 at December 31, 2008 as compared to $258,800 at year-end 2007. Most of the increase in total assets from 2007 to 2008 is accounted for by the growth in the loan portfolio.

The Company places an emphasis on an integrated approach to its balance sheet management. Significant balance sheet components of loans, sources of funds, and restricted equity investments are managed in an integrated manner with the management of interest rate risk, liquidity, and capital. These components are discussed below.

Loans

Gross loans outstanding totaled $105,701,210 at December 31, 2008 compared to $92,942,928 at December 31, 2007. The growth experienced in 2008 is in the commercial real estate and residential real estate segments of the portfolio which now encompasses approximately 81 percent of the entire portfolio. Consumer and owner occupied residential loans increased approximately 8.0% as a percentage of the entire portfolio. Aggregate commercial (non-real estate) loans declined approximately 3.0% as a percentage of the entire portfolio. The shift from commercial to commercial real estate and residential real estate reflects the acceptable lending opportunities available in the Bank's service area.

In the event that a loan is 90 days or more past due the accrual of income is generally discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt unless the obligations are both well secured and in the process of collection. At December 31, 2008, there were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Total loans 90 days or more past due and in non-accrual status equaled $599,667.

Restricted Equity Investments

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock at December 31, 2008 was carried at cost of $291,200. This represents an increase of $32,400 or 12.5% from 2007. As a member of the FHLB, the Company is required to maintain stock in an amount equal to 0.15% of total assets and 4% of outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is maintained by the Company at par value of $100 per share.

Deposits and Other Funding

Total deposits, which are the principal source of funds for the Company, were $103,739,177 at December 31, 2008 compared to $105,029,339 at December 31, 2007. The decrease of $1,290,162 from year end 2007 to year end 2008 represents a decrease of 1.2%. The Company has targeted local consumers, professional and commercial businesses as its central clientele; therefore, deposit instruments in the form of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market demand accounts, NOW accounts, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts are offered to customers. The Company has established a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by a blanket-pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2008, and 2007 the Company had outstanding advances of $5,506,805 and $1,926,026 at the Federal Home Loan Bank, respectively. At December 31, 2008, the Company also had $1,000,000 in short-term borrowings from Jefferson Federal Bank which is due on demand. Generally, banks classify their funding base as either core funding or non-core funding. Core funding consists of all deposits, other than public funds and brokered deposits, issued in denominations of $100,000 or less while all other funding is deemed to be non-core.

The following table represents the balances of our deposits and other fundings and the percentage of each type to the total at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Additional liquidity should be provided by anticipated growth in deposit accounts and loan repayments. The Company also has the ability to purchase federal funds and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati that will provide an additional credit line if necessary. The Company has been approved to borrow funds at the Federal Discount Window.

Capital

Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2008 was $8,348,249, a decrease of $303,753 from $8,657,002 at December 31, 2007. This decrease was due to a net loss of $558,728 for 2008 that was partially offset by the purchase of 75,000 shares of common stock by key officers of the Company. Common stock increased $24,975 and surplus $225,000 from the exercise of common stock options.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007 capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory guidelines with the Company's Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage ratio.

Liability and Asset Management

The Company's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") actively measures and manages interest rate risk using a process developed by the Company. The ALCO is also responsible for implementing the Company's asset/liability management policies, overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and earnings, and reviewing the Company's interest rate sensitivity position.

The primary tool that management uses to measure short-term interest rate risk is a net interest income simulation model prepared by an independent correspondent institution. These simulations estimate the impact that various changes in the overall level of interest rates over one- and two-year time horizons would have on net interest income. The results help the Company develop strategies for managing exposures to interest rate risk.

Like any forecasting technique, interest rate simulation modeling is based on a large number of assumptions. In this case, the assumptions relate primarily to loan and deposit growth, asset and liability prepayments, interest rates and balance sheet management strategies. Management believes that both individually and in the aggregate the assumptions are reasonable. Nevertheless, the simulation modeling process produces only a sophisticated estimate, not a precise calculation of exposure.

At December 31, 2008, approximately 69% of the Company's gross loans had adjustable rates. Based on the asset/liability modeling management believes that these loans reprice at a faster pace than liabilities held at the Company. Because the majority of the institution's liabilities are 12 months and under and the gap in repricing is asset sensitive, with loans repricing daily, management believes that a rising rate environment would have a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin. Floors in the majority of the Company's adjustable rate assets also mitigate interest rate sensitivity in a decreasing rate environment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company, at December 31, 2008, had outstanding unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit that totaled $10,918,776. These commitments have fixed maturity dates and many will mature without being drawn upon, meaning that the total commitment does not necessarily represent the future cash requirements. The Company has the ability to liquidate federal funds sold or, on a short-term basis, to purchase federal funds from other banks and to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2008, the Company had established with correspondent banks the ability to purchase federal funds if needed.

The net interest margin for 2008 was 3.72% compared to a net interest margin of 4.39% for the same period in 2007, a decrease of 67 basis points. The net change in the net interest margin was significant because the net decreases in the yield on interest-earning assets was approximately 150 basis points compared to the decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 101 basis points. Other matters related to the changes in net interest income, net yields and rate, and net interest margin are presented below:

•: Our loan yields decreased from 2007 to 2008. For asset/liability management purposes, we have emphasized variable rate loans since our inception such that approximately 69.0% of our loans are variable rate loans at December 31, 2008 compared to 72.0% at December 31, 2007. Variable rate loans generally have lower yields than do fixed rate loans, but better match the cost of funds in a rising rate environment.
•: During 2008 the average balances of noninterest bearing deposits decreased by $502,442 or 5.16%, while interest bearing liabilities increased by $11,450,851 or 13.51%. Rates decreased in 2008 over 2007. Management anticipates the funding rates to remain stable or slightly decrease on interest bearing liabilities for most of 2009.

Net interest income decreased by $254,175 between the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and increased by $300,311 between the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The following is an analysis of the changes in our net interest income comparing the changes attributable to rates and those attributable to volumes:

Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume changes have been determined by multiplying the prior years' average rate by the change in average balances outstanding. The rate change is the difference between the net change and the volume change.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls and Procedures. There were no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting during the Corporation's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Corporation's internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Corporation's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
American Patriot Financial Group, Inc.
Greeneville, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiary (Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of American Patriot Financial Group, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, included inManagement's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting found in Item 9A(T) of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiary (Company) conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and accepted accounting and reporting practices within the banking industry. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Patriot Financial Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, American Patriot Bank (Bank). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations

The Company is a bank-holding company which owns all of the outstanding common stock of American Patriot Bank (Bank). The Bank provides a variety of financial services through their locations in Greeneville and Maryville, Tennessee and surrounding areas. The Bank's primary deposit products are demand deposits, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial loans, real estate loans, and installment loans.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.

Loans

The Bank grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout Greeneville and Maryville, Tennessee and surrounding areas. The ability of the Bank's debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. The Bank does not defer loan fees and related loan origination costs. Based on management's assessments, the difference between deferral and immediate recognition of such fees and related costs is not material.

F-6

Table of Contents

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Table of Contents

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock Option Plan

The Company recognizes compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Compensation cost is measured using the fair value of the stock option award on the grant date and is recognized over the employee service period. The Company uses a stock option pricing model to determine the fair value of the award on the grant date.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes related primarily to differences between the tax basis and the financial statement carrying amounts of the allowance for loan losses and accumulated depreciation. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

F-8

Table of Contents

Segment Reporting

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information provides for the identification of reportable segments on the basis of discrete business units and their financial information to the extent such units are reviewed by an entity's chief decision maker (which can be an individual or group of management persons). The Statement permits aggregation or combination of segments that have similar characteristics. In the Company's operations, each bank branch is viewed by management as being a separately identifiable business or segment from the perspective of monitoring performance and allocation of financial resources. Although the branches operate independently and are managed and monitored separately, each is substantially similar in terms of business focus, type of customers, products and services. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements reflect the presentation of segment information on an aggregated basis in one reportable segment.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. The effects of outstanding antidilutive stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were 33,150 and 35,900 antidilutive stock options for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, ("SFAS 156") an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, ("SFAS 140") which requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and requires entities to elect either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement 140 for subsequent measurement. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operation.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS" 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement; not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The effective date for SFAS No. 157 was for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.

Table of Contents

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified a consensus opinion reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue 06-04,Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, ("EITF 06-04") which requires employers that enter into endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a postretirement benefit to recognize a liability for the future benefits promised based on the substantive agreement made with the employer. Whether the accrual is based on a death benefit or on the future cost of maintaining the insurance would depend on what the employer has effectively agreed to provide during the employee's retirement. The purchase of an endorsement-type life insurance policy does not qualify as a settlement of the liability. The consensus in EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 effective January 1, 2008, and its adoption had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or do not apply to its operations.

Note 3. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the Bank is required to maintain stock in an amount equal to at least .15% of total assets and 4% of outstanding FHLB advances. Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost and maintained by the Bank at par value of $100 per share.

Note 6. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings

Pursuant to collateral agreements with Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), the advances are collateralized by specific first mortgage loans. The FHLB's required unpaid principal balance of eligible mortgages was $8,807,912 at December 31, 2008. The advances at December 31, 2008, have maturity dates as follows:

Maturity Date		December 31, 2008

04/01/10	3.56	$	543,139
03/20/09	5.18		75,000

08/04/10	3.63		1,500,000

		$	5,506,805

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had $250,000 available in unfunded letters of credit with the FHLB.

The loan contemplates a multiple advance draw loan, with the principal balance not to exceed $1,000,000. Interest will accrue on the loan at the rate of 6.000% per year, with payment required upon demand, but if no demand is made, then payment must be made in quarterly payments of accrued interest calculated on the amount outstanding beginning on March 30, 2009, and principal due on December 31, 2009. The Company may prepay the loan at any time by paying all principal, interest, escrow, late fees, and all other amounts due in full.

Note 9. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Bank has outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the balance sheet. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, undisbursed loan commitments aggregated $10,871,376 and $13,853,961, respectively. In addition, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $47,400 and $144,978, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income- producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank's policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

Note 10. Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank and the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

As of December 31, 2008, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action according to the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.

As of December 31, 2008, the Bank is also required to maintain minimum capital ratios of Tier 1 capital to average assets of 7 percent, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 10 percent and is limited in its ability to pay dividends.

Note 11. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair Value Measurements:

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., 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, not the entry price, i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company has an established process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models or processes that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market data, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and third party information. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

SFAS 157 also establishes a three-tier 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, as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

F-16

Table of Contents

Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired 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 a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, ("SFAS 114"). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using several methods including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At December 31, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated (or impaired loans were primarily evaluated) based on the fair value of collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on the 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.

The Company has no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis; however, certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which means the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The table below presents information about assets on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value was recorded during 2008.

		Balance as of December 31, 2008			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)			Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Impaired loans		$	4,902,172		$	—		$	—		$	4,902,172

Losses derived from Level 3 inputs were calculated primarily by models utilizing estimated collateral value or the discounted present value of expected cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

F-17

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and federal funds sold approximate fair values.

Federal Home Bank Loan Stock

The carrying value of the stock held in the Federal Home Loan Bank approximates fair value based on the stock redemption provisions of the issuer.

Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate loans (including non-performing loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value.

Cash Surrender Value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The carrying value of bank-owned life insurance approximates fair value because this investment is carried at cash surrender value, as determined by the insurer.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The fair values of the Company's Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.

Other Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Note 12. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which all employees may participate. To be eligible, an employee must complete six (6) months of service and reach their entry date. An entry date is the first day of the Plan Year quarter coinciding with or following the date that satisfies the Plan's eligibility requirements. For 2008, employees may make pretax, voluntary contributions in amounts up to $15,500 (age 49 or less) and $20,500 (age 50 and older). The Company may make discretionary matching contributions equal to a uniform percentage of tiered salary deferrals. This percentage will be determined each year. The Company's expense for the plan was $45,147 and $3,484 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 13. Stock Option Plan

The Company has an employee Stock Option Plan (the Plan) under which certain employees may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock. The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 375,000 shares. The maximum number of shares available for future grants under the Plan was 166,859 shares for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 106,390 shares for the year ended December 31, 2007. Under the Plan, the option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of the grant. The options expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the option. Proceeds received by the Company from exercises of the stock options are credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital. No stock options were granted and no compensation expense was recognized during 2008 or 2007.

Management believes that those claims are without merit and that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially affect the Bank's financial condition or the Company's consolidated financial position.

Note 16. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary source of funds with which to pay its future obligations is the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary bank. Banking regulations provide that the Bank must maintain capital sufficient to enable it to operate as a viable institution and, as a result, may limit the amount of dividends the Bank may pay without prior approval. It is management's intention to limit the amount of dividends paid in order to maintain compliance with capital guidelines and to maintain a strong capital position in the Bank.

Note 17. Capital Structure

Common Stock

The Board of Directors of the Holding Company is authorized to issue up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock. Holders of common stock have unlimited voting rights and are entitled to receive the net assets of the Holding Company upon dissolution.

Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors of the Holding Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Shares of the preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each such series to be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
