Dear Fellow Shareholder:
I am pleased to report we grew the bank by over 40% in 2008. As of December 31, 2008 our total assets reached $67,298,536. We were able to achieve this growth while reducing non-interest expense. More importantly, we grew our loan portfolio while maintaining excellent credit quality.
We enter 2009 well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities created by changes in our industry. There has never been a better time for the community banking model to succeed. Community banks are known for their customer service and for focusing on doing what is best for their customers and their communities. Far away from Wall Street, we are the backbone of the American economy, helping small businesses and hard-working families borrow for what they need and invest in their futures.
The problems in the financial services sector are well documented. As the Sub Prime debacle unfolded and the economy spiraled downward, businesses and individuals had difficulty repaying loans. Some banks experienced extremely high levels of delinquencies and write-offs that in some cases reduced capital to dangerous levels. We are very fortunate in that we:
• | Are Well Capitalized | ||
• | Maintain Excellent Liquidity | ||
• | Maintain Excellent Credit Quality |
STOCK PRICE: Bank stocks have been hit hard over the past eighteen months. It is extremely difficult for investors to determine the book value of bank stocks due to credit problems. Therefore, rather than trading at premiums to book, as is the case in good times, banks are trading at discounts relative to book value. As a start-up bank in Michigan with a stock that is fairly thinly traded, those shares of our stock that were traded, traded at a discount. The benefit of investing in a start-up bank is realized over the long run.
PRELIMINARY TARP APPROVAL: In March, the U.S. Department of the Treasury gave us preliminary approval for $1,635,000 under the Treasury’s TARP. The purpose of this program is to bolster confidence in the financial system, increase the flow of financing to businesses and consumers, assist delinquent mortgage borrowers, and support the United States economy. Participation in this program is voluntary. The U.S. Treasury Department has stated that it would only buy preferred stock from banks and thrifts considered to be healthy. While we are well capitalized as evidenced by our Capital Ratio of 12.82% at year end, the injection of TARP funds will provide additional strength to our balance sheet and enable us to prudently increase lending. Our Annual meeting will be held on May 18th at the Community House in Birmingham. The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm. I invite all of you to attend and will be happy to answer any question. Proxy statements will be mailed to you in April. If you do not receive your proxy statement by May 1st, please contact me and I will make sure that information reaches you quickly.
HOW YOU CAN HELP YOUR INVESTMENT: Move your account to Bank of Birmingham and by doing so help your investment in the bank and yourself. Every new loan and every new deposit account helps us grow. As I stated earlier, our commitment to customer service will make you happy you made the move. More importantly, we are putting our deposits to work in our community.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Farr

Report of Independent Registered Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares Inc.
Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated financial position of Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 – Summary of Significant accounting principles
Basis of Presentation- The accompanying consolidated statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Birmingham (“Bank”). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Organization- The Corporation was incorporated February 26, 2004 as Birmingham Bloomfield Bancorp, Inc., for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation subsequently changed its name to Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. The Corporation received the required regulatory approvals to purchase the common stock of the Bank on July 26, 2006. The Corporation closed on its first phase of its equity offering totaling $13,988,300 on July 26, 2006 and capitalized the Bank with $13,000,000. Bank of Birmingham opened for business on July 26, 2006. The Corporation continued raising capital until the closing of it’s offering on September 30, 2006. Early in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Corporation closed on the remaining portion of its equity offering of $4,011,700 bringing its total equity to $18,000,000 before offering costs. Direct costs related to the offering of common stock were $966,000 and were capitalized and netted against the offering proceeds as of December 31, 2006.
Use of Estimates- The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. 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.
Nature of Operations- The Corporation provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its main office in Birmingham, Michigan and branch office in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. Its primary deposit products are savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, home equity lines and consumer loans. The Bank serves businesses and consumers across Oakland and Macomb counties with the largest geographic segment of our customer base being in Oakland County.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and federal funds sold which mature within 90 days.
Loans- The Corporation grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers throughout the state focusing on southeast Michigan. A large portion of the loan portfolio is represented by commercial real estate mortgages and equity line loans primarily in Oakland County, Michigan. The ability of the Corporation’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

December 31, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. 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 nonclassified 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.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation 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 homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, except if modified and considered to be a troubled debt restructuring. The Corporation performed no such modifications in the current year.
During the first three years of operations, the Bank will maintain an allowance for loan losses at or above minimum levels agreed to by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.
Off-balance-sheet Instruments- In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into commitments under commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Property and Equipment– The Corporation has approximately $2,232,000 of property and equipment on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. The majority of this represents leasehold improvements on the Corporation’s main office at 33583 Woodward, Birmingham, MI. Leasehold improvements and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the length of the building leases as applicable.
Income Taxes –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 various temporary differences between the book and the tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Other Comprehensive Income- Basic accounting principals generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income (loss). Certain changes in assets and liabilities, however, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Such items, along with net income (loss) are components of comprehensive income.
Earnings per Share- Basic earnings per share represents income available to shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Reclassification- Certain amounts appearing in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statements.
FASB 123R Share Based Payments- In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123R “Share-based Payment” (SFAS 123R”), a revision to Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This standard requires the Corporation to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The cost is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006. Under this method, the Corporation will recognize compensation cost for equity based compensation for all new or modified grants after the date of adoption. There were no equity compensation plans in place prior to 2006 and therefore no compensation costs recognized upon adoption.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Corporation issued 184,000 warrants to organizers at an exercise price of $10.00 per share with a duration of 10 years. The Corporation recognized stock based compensation using the Black Scholes option-pricing model of $420,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2006 the Corporation also issued 360,000 warrants to shareholders at an exercise price of $12.50 per share based upon one warrant for each five shares of stock purchased. These warrants have a duration of three years. The value of the shareholder warrants was deemed to be negligible.
The fair value of each warrant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. The assumptions listed below were used in 2006.
Dividend yield or expected dividends | 0.00 | % | ||
Risk free interest rate | 4.50 | % | ||
Expected life | 5 yrs. | |||
Expected volatility | 12.18 | % |
Information and activity regarding equity based compensation extended to key employees under the Corporations’ Stock Incentive Plan during 2008 and 2007 is included in Note 7.

Note 2 – Fair Value Accounting
On January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted SFAS 157. SFAS 157 was issued to bring conformity to the definition of fair value; prior to SFAS 157 there was no conformity in the accounting guidance regarding the definition of fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.
Valuation Hierarchy
SFAS 157 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.
• | Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Corporation can participate. | ||
• | Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | ||
• | Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and include inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related 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.
The 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.
Assets
Securities available for sale
All of the Corporation’s securities available for sale are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as quoted prices for similar assets are available in an active market.

Note 7 – Stock Option Plan
Under SFAS 123R the Corporation measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity awards, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The cost is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards. The Corporation is required to estimate the fair value of all stock options on each grant date, using an appropriate valuation approach such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Corporation’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by shareholders on April 23, 2007. Under the Plan, the Corporation is authorized to grant options to key employees for up to 225,000 shares of common stock. The Corporation believes the Plan serves to better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant. The option awards vest based on a three year to five year schedule, with the first tranche vesting as of April, 23, 2008, and have 10-year contractual terms. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).
During 2007, the Corporation issued 180,000 stock options. Based on the fair market value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the compensation cost recognized by the Corporation for the portion of the equity awards earned during 2008 and 2007 was $4,553 and $42,000, respectively. No income tax benefit was recognized in the income statement for share based compensation (see Note 8). There is no difference between basic and diluted loss per share due to the anti dilutive effect of outstanding options at December 31, 2008.
The Corporation estimates the value of its stock options using the calculated value on the grant date. The Corporation measures compensation cost of employee stock options based on the calculated value instead of fair value because it is not practical to estimate the volatility of its share price. The Corporation does not maintain an internal market for its shares and its shares are rarely traded privately. As a denovo institution, the Corporation’s initial stock offering was completed in July 2006. The calculated value method requires that the volatility assumption used in an option-pricing model be based on the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index.
The Corporation uses a Black-Scholes formula to estimate the calculated value of its share-based payments. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes formula is based on the volatility of the America’s Community Bankers index as quoted on the NASDAQ exchange. The Corporation calculated the historical volatility using the closing total returns for that index for the 3 years immediately prior to the grant date.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are noted in the following table. The Corporation uses expected data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Corporation’s closing stock price on the last trading day of our fiscal year ended 2008 and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, all outstanding and exercisable options are out of the money (options have an exercise price that exceeds market value), and they are assumed to have no intrinsic value. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Corporation’s stock. There were no options exercised for the three years ended December 31, 2008.

Note 10 – Restrictions on dividends, loans and advances
Banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Corporation.
Prior approval of the Bank’s federal regulator is required if the total dividends declared by the Bank in a calendar year exceed the sum of the net profits of the Bank for the preceding three years, less any required transfers to surplus. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum standards. Because of the Bank’s Denovo status and its startup losses, at December 31, 2008, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends, without approval from the regulators, was $-0-. Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s investment in the Bank was restricted at December 31, 2008.
Loans or advances made by the Bank to the Corporation are generally limited to 10 percent of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus. Accordingly, at December 31, 2008, Bank funds available for loans or advances to the Corporation amounted to $1.0 million. The Federal Reserve Bank, which is the Corporation’s regulator, however, has restricted borrowings by the Corporation for the first three years of operation without its prior approval.
Note 11 – 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 Corporation’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. SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents- The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values.
Securities- Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Fair values for other 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. Fair values of nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Deposit Liabilities- The fair values disclosed for demand deposits 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.
Accrued Interest- The carrying value of accrued interest approximates fair value.
Other Financial Instruments- The fair value of other financial instruments, including loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit, based on discounted cash flow analyses, is not material.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

Note 12 – Retirement Plans
The Corporation sponsors a 401(k) plan for substantially all employees. The plan is a “Safe Harbor” plan by statute and provides for the Corporation to make a 4% required matching contribution. Contributions to the plan were $36,000 in 2007. The Corporation amended the 401(k) plan effective January 1, 2008 to remove the “Safe Harbor” provisions. As a result there were no required matching contributions for 2008.

Note 14 – Off Balance Sheet Risk
Credit-related Financial Instruments- The Corporation is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Corporation follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Note 14 – Off Balance Sheet Risk - continued
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
Contract Amount | ||||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Commitments to grant loans | $ | 2,400,000 | $ | 4,983,000 | ||||
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | $ | 11,655,000 | $ | 14,672,000 | ||||
Commercial and standby letters of credit | $ | 110,000 | $ | 110,000 |
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. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Corporation, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are collateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Corporation is committed.
Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are used primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved is extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.
Collateral Requirements- To reduce credit risk related to the use of credit-related financial instruments, the Corporation might deem it necessary to obtain collateral. The amount and nature of the collateral obtained are based on the Corporation’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, securities, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and real estate.
If the counterparty does not have the right and ability to redeem the collateral or the Corporation is permitted to sell or re-pledge the collateral on short notice, the Corporation records the collateral in its balance sheet at fair value with a corresponding obligation to return it.
Legal Contingencies- Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Note 15 – Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The prompt corrective action regulations provide four classifications, well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The Bank was well-capitalized as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation qualifies for an exemption from regulatory capital requirements due to its asset size.
The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are presented in the following table (000’s omitted):

These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events (whether anticipated or unanticipated), or otherwise.
Future factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to the following: the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; competitive pressures among depository institutions; interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and net interest margin; the impact of re-pricing and competitor’s pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; the ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers’ needs and development in the market place; our ability to access cost-effective funding; changes in financial markets; changes in economic conditions in general and particularly as related to the automotive and related industries in the Detroit metropolitan area; new legislation or regulatory changes, including but not limited to changes in federal and/or state tax laws or interpretations thereof by taxing authorities; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; and our future acquisitions of other depository institutions or lines of business.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a Michigan corporation that was incorporated in 2004 to serve as the holding company for a Michigan state bank, Bank of Birmingham (“Bank”). The Bank is a full service commercial bank headquartered in Birmingham, Michigan, with a full service branch banking office in Bloomfield Township, Michigan. It serves the communities of Birmingham, Bloomfield, Bingham Farms, Franklin and Beverly Hills and the neighboring communities. The Corporation completed the first phase of its stock offering on July 26, 2006 and capitalized the Bank on that date. The Bank opened for business on July 26, 2006 in a modular facility at the site of its future branch at 4145 W. Maple in Bloomfield Township. The modular facility served as the Bank’s temporary main office until leasehold improvements at the permanent main office facility at 33583 Woodward Avenue in Birmingham were completed and the office opened for business at the end of August 2006. Remodeling then commenced at the branch facility and it opened for business on February 20, 2007. The Bank serves businesses and consumers across Oakland and Macomb counties with a full range of lending, deposit and Internet banking services.
On September 30, 2006, Birmingham Bloomfield Bancshares, Inc. completed its common stock offering. The Corporation received gross proceeds of $18.0 million from the offering and used the proceeds to fund its growth strategy, for working capital and for general corporate purposes including its investment in the Bank.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The results of operations depend largely on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference in interest income the Corporation earns on interest-earning assets, which comprise primarily commercial business, commercial real estate and residential real estate loans and the interest the Corporation pays on our interest-bearing liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings. Management strives to match the repricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.
The results of our operations may also be affected by local and general economic conditions. The largest geographic segment of our customer base is in Oakland County, Michigan. The economic base of the County continues to diversify from the automotive service sector. This trend should lessen the impact on the County of future economic downturns in the automotive sector of the economy. Oakland County’s proximity to major highways and affordable housing has continued to spur economic growth in the area. Changes in the local economy may affect the demand for commercial loans and related small to medium business related products. This could have a significant impact on how the Corporation deploys earning assets. The competitive environment among other financial institutions and financial service providers and the Bank in the Oakland and Macomb counties of Michigan may affect the pricing levels of various deposit products. The impact of competitive rates on deposit products may increase the relative cost of funds for the Corporation and thus negatively impact net interest income.
General economic conditions have worsened for banks in general and particularly in Michigan as the U.S. economic picture has moved towards recession. Michigan and the Detroit area in particular have been hit fairly hard. Michigan has one of the highest foreclosure rates and unemployment rates in the country. While Oakland county is not immune to these issues, the demographics of the Birmingham Bloomfield area somewhat lessen the impact as the residents of the area tend to be more business owners and professionals.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Allowance for loan losses
The Corporation performs a detailed quarterly review of the allowance for credit losses. The Corporation evaluates those loans classified as substandard, under its internal risk rating system, on an individual basis for impairment under SFAS 114. The level and allocation of the allowance is determined primarily on management’s evaluation of collateral value, less the cost of disposal, for loans reviewed in this category. The remainder of the total loan portfolio is segmented into homogeneous loan pools with similar risk characteristics for evaluation under SFAS 5. The Corporation uses factors such as, historical portfolio losses, national and local economic trends and levels of delinquency to determine the appropriate level and allocation of the allowance for loans in this grouping. In addition, due to the Corporation’s short operating history, it looks to historical results for similar banks of similar size and in similar geographic areas as a comparison. The Corporation’s policy dictates that specifically identified credit losses be recognized immediately by a charge to the allowance for credit losses. See also Note 1 to the financial statements. The Bank is also required to maintain certain minimum levels of reserves during its first three years of operation based upon the business plan submitted as part of the regulatory approval process and based upon the order granting it permission to operate by the State of Michigan, Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Inherent risks and uncertainties related to determination of adequacy of the allowance for credit losses require management to depend on estimates, appraisals and evaluations of loans to prepare the analysis. Changes in economic conditions and the financial prospects of borrowers may result in changes to the estimates, appraisals and evaluations used. In addition, if circumstances and losses differ substantially from management’s assumptions and estimates, the allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to absorb all future losses and net income could be significantly impacted.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Corporation’s (and the Bank’s) main office is located at 33583 Woodward Avenue, Birmingham, MI 48009. The building is a free-standing one story office building of approximately 8,300 square feet. The Bank also operates a branch office at 4145 West Maple Road, near the intersection of Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Township, MI, which is approximately 5 miles from the main office. The branch office occupies approximately 2,815 square feet in a one story office building. The Bank has executed lease agreements with respect to each of its banking locations. The main office lease commenced in October 2005 and the bank has exercised its first renewal option resulting in the lease being extended until October 2025, and the branch office lease commenced in March 2006 and runs through February 2015. Each of the leases has a ten year renewal option.
At this time, neither the Corporation nor the Bank intends to own any of the properties from which the Bank will conduct banking operations. The Bank used approximately $2.9 million of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering to purchase furniture, fixtures and equipment at the two locations. The Bank has 18 full-time equivalent employees to staff its banking offices.
The Bank will continue to use the remainder of its capital for customer loans, investments and other general banking purposes. We believe that the Corporation’s initial offering proceeds will enable the Bank to maintain a leverage capital ratio, which is a measure of core capital to average total assets, in excess of 8% for the first three years of operations as required by the FDIC. The Corporation does anticipate that it will require $4.0 to $6.0 million in additional equity during the next 36 months of operations in order to continue to grow while meeting regulatory capital requirements. Management is exploring the capital markets with the aid of consultants to determine how and when it may raise the additional equity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased by 42.4%, or $20.0 million, to $67.3 million at December 31, 2008 from $47.3 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in total assets is attributable to continued strong loan growth in the current year.
Total liabilities increased by $21.5 million, or 58.9% to $58.0 million at December 31, 2008 from $36.5 million at December 31, 2007. The bank continued to increase the level of deposits, primarily certificates of deposit, in the current year to fund the growth in the loan portfolio.
Total shareholders’ equity decreased $1.5 million, or 13.5%, to $9.3 million at December 31, 2008 down from $10.8 million for the prior year end. This decrease was due to the current year net loss. Management monitors the capital levels of the Bank to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized” institutions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.4 million, or 9.3%, to $4.7 million at December 31, 2008, down from $5.1 million at December 31, 2007. Federal funds sold decreased $0.4 million, or 10.6%, to $3.5 million at December 31, 2008.
Investments
Total securities available-for-sale increased 49.5%, or $1.3 million, to $3.9 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $2.6 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in investment securities is primarily attributable to a $3.0 million investment in certain U.S. Government agency securities in the third quarter of 2008. This investment was partially offset by sales and calls of U.S agency securities and repayments on mortgage backed securities. The Corporation had no held-to-maturity securities as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Loans receivable increased $19.7 million or 53.2%, to $56.8 million at December 31, 2008, up from $37.1 million at December 31, 2007. As noted in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the largest single category increase within loans was commercial real estate which increased by $9.5 million. These loans are for the most part owner occupied properties. Equity lines of credit increased $1.7 million or 19.4% to $10.4 million at December 31, 2008. This increase is due in part to continued business development efforts as well as increased draws on existing lines. Real estate mortgages on multifamily properties increased approximately $5.8 million or 311.8% to $7.7 million at December 31, 2008. Consumer loans increased approximately $830,000 or 468.9% to $1.0 million at December 31, 2008. Management expects continued loan growth in 2009, primarily in the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The growth in the commercial lending area will be driven by continued business development efforts.

The majority of loans originated by the Corporation are fixed rate loans that have a maturity which will occur within five years. Closed-end commercial loans, though they may mature within five years, typically have principal amortization periods that exceed five years. Principal balances on commercial lines of credit are typically due in full at maturity (usually one year).
The allowance for loan losses was $710,000, or 1.25%, of loans at December 31, 2008 compared to $560,000 or 1.50% of loans at December 31, 2007. This decrease is in accordance with the levels agreed to by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation.

There were no past due or nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008 or 2007. Nonperforming loans, which represents non-accruing loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, were zero at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, uncertainty exists as to the ultimate collection of principal and interest. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no loans in nonaccrual status. Commercial loans are reported as being in nonaccrual status if: (a) they are maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, (b) payment in full of interest or principal is not expected, or (c) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more. If it can be documented that the loan obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection, the loan may stay on accrual status. However, if the loan is not brought current before 120 days past due, the loan is reported as nonaccrual. A nonaccrual asset may be restored to accrual status when none of its principal or

interest is due and unpaid, when it otherwise becomes well secured, or is in the process of collection.
Management evaluates the condition of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Management’s evaluation of the allowance is further based on consideration of actual loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, adequacy of collateral, industry concentrations within the portfolio, and general economic conditions. Management believes that the present allowance is adequate, based on the broad range of considerations listed above.

Loans risk-rated as special mention, are considered criticized loans, exhibiting some potential credit weakness that requires additional attention by management. While loans risk-rated as substandard or higher are considered classified loans exhibiting well-defined credit weakness. The Corporation’s credit administration function is designed to provide increased information on all types of loans to identify adverse credit risk characteristics in as timely a manner as possible. Total criticized and classified loans increased $6.0 million, or 159.0%, to $9.7 million at December 31, 2008 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2007. The largest increase was noted in loans risk-rated special mention, which increased $5.4 million, or 170.6%, to $8.6 million at December 31, 2008 from $3.2 million at December 31, 2007. Substandard loans increased $529,000, or 94.1%, to $1.1 million at December 31, 2008 from $562,000 at December 31, 2007. There were no loans that were risk rated doubtful or loss at either December 31, 2008 or 2007. Management continues to closely monitor each loan adversely criticized or classified and institute appropriate measures to eliminate the basis of criticism.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The primary risk element considered by management regarding each consumer and residential real estate loan is lack of timely payment. Management has a reporting system that monitors past due loans and has adopted policies to pursue its creditor’s rights in order to preserve the Bank’s position. The primary risk elements concerning commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans are the financial condition of the borrower, the sufficiency of collateral, and lack of timely payment. Management has a policy of requesting and reviewing annual financial statements from its commercial loan customers and periodically reviews existence of collateral and its value.
Although management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb losses as they arise, there can be no assurance that the Bank will not sustain losses in any given period that could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance for credit losses. It must be understood that inherent risks and uncertainties related to the operation of a financial institution require management to depend on estimates, appraisals and evaluations of loans to prepare the Corporation’s financial statements. Changes in economic conditions and the financial prospects of borrowers may result in changes to the estimates, appraisals and evaluations used. In addition, if circumstances and losses differ substantially from management’s assumptions and estimates, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to absorb all future losses and net income could be significantly impacted.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
The following is a summary of outstanding commitments by the Corporation to grant loans, unfunded commitments under lines of credit and letters of credit at December 31, 2008 and 2007 (000’s omitted):
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 2,400 | $ | 4,983 | ||||
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | 11,655 | 14,672 | ||||||
Commercial and standby letters of credit | 110 | 110 | ||||||
Total | $ | 14,165 | $ | 19,765 | ||||
Outstanding commitments to grant loans, lines of credit and letters of credit decreased $5.6 million, or 28.3% to $14.2 million at December 31, 2008 from $19.8 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease in commitments to extend credit is primarily due to funding of loan commitments outstanding at December 31, 2007 and some slowing in new loan commitments at December 31, 2008. The decrease in unfunded commitments under lines of credit is due primarily to draws on existing lines. Management does not expect that all commitments will result in funded loans.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $21.4 million, or 59.3%, to $57.7 million at December 31, 2008 from $36.3 million at December 31, 2007. Specifically, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $190,000, or 3.5%, to $5.2 million at December 31, 2008 from $5.4 million at December 31, 2007. Interest-bearing deposits increased $21.7 million, or 70.2%, to $52.6 million at December 31, 2008 from $30.9 million at December 31, 2007. NOW accounts which, except for limited circumstances, are owned by individuals, decreased by $1.8 million to $7.9 million at December 31, 2008 from $9.7 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease is due in part to customers moving to higher yielding deposit products. Savings and money market accounts decreased by $1.0 million to $10.6 million at December 31, 2008 from $11.6 million at December 31, 2007. MMDA’s made up most of this total and approximately 61% of the balances were attributable to business accounts. Certificates of deposit increased by $24.6 million to $34.1 million at December 31, 2008 from $9.5 million at December 31, 2007. Of this amount $21.0 million was in certificates greater than $100,000. The increase is attributable to business development efforts, special rate promotions, and participation in an on-line marketing service which facilitates deposit acquisition in the wholesale CD market.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity decreased by $1.5 million to $9.3 million at December 31, 2008 from $10.8 million at December 31, 2007 as a result of the net loss incurred during 2008. Additional paid in capital increased approximately $4,600 to $466,600 in accordance with FAS123R, as noted in Note 1 and Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements. The additional paid-in-capital represents an offset to the expense recognized per FAS123R for the costs associated with stock options issued to certain employees. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes net unrealized gains on the Corporation’s available-for sale investment securities as noted in Note 3.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Loss
The Corporation had a net loss of $1.5 million for the year of 2008 compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the prior year end. The Corporation benefited from increased net interest income provided by continued loan growth. Further, non-interest expense decreased in the current year with the lower salaries and benefits costs after certain staffing reductions were made in the third quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, as well as lower levels of advertising and public relations expenditures in the current year.
Net Interest Income
2008. Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 increased $0.5 million, or 40.0%, to $1.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to increases in the average balances within the loan portfolio that more than offset the decreases in yield caused by the reductions in the prime lending rate. Further, with the declines in interest rates, the average rate paid on deposits decreased in the current year to 3.08% down from 4.42% in 2007. Total interest income increased by $0.8 million, or 34.3%, to $3.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $2.5 million during the same period in 2007. The increase in the loan portfolio in the current year more than offset the continued decreases in the prime lending rate resulting in a net increase in interest income. Interest expense increased by $0.3 million, or 27.3%, to $1.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 compared to $1.1 million during the same period in 2007. Increases in the level of time deposits, which was offset by a decrease in rates paid on interest bearing deposits, caused the increase in interest expense.
2007. Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $1,373,000. During the year, the Corporation attracted deposits and increased its loans substantially as well as deployed funds into investment securities. As a result, interest earned on loans increased to $1.7 million for the 2007 and interest earned on federal funds sold increased to $628,000. Federal funds sold were maintained at higher levels in the early part of the year as the yield curve was inverted and there was no advantage to lock rates at lower levels. As the yield curve developed a positive slope in the third quarter of 2007, the Corporation’s Asset/Liability committee made the decision to begin extending the duration of assets to preserve yields in a decreasing rate environment. As a result, the Corporation invested in longer duration available-for-sale investments and began to strive to fix the interest rates on assets, again to preserve yields in a decreasing rate environment. Interest expense increased to $1.1 million in 2007 as the Corporation attracted deposits to the Bank.
2006. During the period of July 26 (inception) to December 31, 2006 interest income was primarily from federal funds sold as the Corporation maintained a significant amount of liquidity in its early growth period. Loans began to be booked during August 2006 and continued throughout the year which resulted in the interest income on loans as shown. Deposit interest expense of $86,000 during the period was primarily due to the growth in certificates of deposit during the period. Interest expense on borrowings of $71,000 was incurred on the Corporation’s line of credit used during inception and retired upon the completion of the Corporation’s stock offering.

The Corporation’s net interest margin decreased 32 basis points, to 3.31% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 3.63% for the same period in 2007. This decrease in net interest margin is primarily attributable to decreases in yield on loans receivable, with the decreases in the prime lending rate in late 2007 and continuing throughout 2008. The yield on loans receivable decreased to 6.20% for the year ended December 31, 2008 down from 7.32% for the prior year. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 134 basis points to 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 4.42% for the same period in 2007. The average rate paid on interest-bearing demand accounts as well as time deposits decreased in the current year consistent with decreases in deposit rates within the local market. Further, the higher rate promotional time deposits from 2007 matured in the current year and were renewed or replaced by lower rate certificates of deposit.

The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net change (the sum of the prior columns). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated on a proportional basis between changes in rate and volume (000’s omitted):

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $384,000, $465,000 and $195,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. See also “Loans, Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” discussed previously.
Noninterest Income
2008. Total non-interest income decreased $15,000, or 11.0%, to $117,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $132,000 for the same period in 2007. Loan fees and charges decreased to approximately $18,200 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $63,100 for the same period in 2007. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loan activity, which in turn has decreased income earned on mortgage loans originated for third parties. Deposit fees and charges increased $20,700, or 42.9%, to $69,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $48,300 for the same period in 2007. This increase is consistent with the continued growth in deposit balances in the current year. Other income increased to approximately $30,300 for the year ended December 31, 2008, up from $20,600 for the same period in 2007. This increase is due primarily to gains recognized for calls/sales on certain investment securities in 2008.
2007. Noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $132,000. The largest portion of this was approximately $60,000 in fees recognized for the referral of loans to other entities. Approximately 60% of this was due to referral fees on conventional residential mortgages. The Bank has a several correspondents to assist borrowers who do not meet the lending standards or products of the Bank, who in return pay a referral fee to the Bank.

2006. Noninterest income for the period of July 26, 2006 through December 31, 2006 was $13,000 and was primarily from service charges, customer service fees and certain loan fees. There was no noninterest income earned in periods prior to July 26, 2006.
Noninterest Expense
2008. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $3.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Salaries and benefits decreased approximately $400,000, or 22.1%, to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, down from $1.8 million for the same period of 2007. In the first quarter of 2008, management of the Corporation continued to examine the business trends to date and reduced staffing in several areas accordingly. Severance costs totaling approximately $134,000 were included in the salaries and benefits costs in the first quarter of 2008. After consideration of the severance costs in the first quarter of 2008, the Corporation began to see the benefit of reduced compensation costs in the latter nine months of 2008. Occupancy expenses decreased to $820,500 for 2008, down from $858,000 in 2007. This decrease is due primarily to lower levels of depreciation discussed below. Data processing expenses were $185,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $176,000 for the same period in 2007. The Corporation incurred expenses relating to initial ATM deployments in the first quarter of 2007, and no such costs were incurred in the current year. These increased costs related to 2007 were offset by increases in volume in the current year which is the basis for most of the data processing costs and therefore increased costs. Advertising expenses were $74,000 for 2008, down approximately $111,500 as compared to the same period in 2007. In 2007, the Corporation incurred higher levels of advertising and promotional costs aimed at increasing name recognition in the Corporation’s principal markets and growth in both loan and deposit portfolios. Professional fees were $278,100 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $261,200 in 2007. Audit and legal costs have increased with increased loan activity and complexity of the Corporation. Other expenses increased to $361,300 in 2008 compared to $338,500 in 2007. This increase is due in large part to regulatory assessments, correspondent bank costs and expenses associated with the Michigan Business Tax incurred in the current year.
2007. Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $3.7 million. Of this amount, $1.8 million was related to salaries and benefits to employees. During 2007 the Bank made several operational changes and reduced employees in a number of areas, and as a result, the cost of salaries and benefits has been trending downward. The largest components of occupancy and equipment expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was depreciation expense of $362,000 and building rent of $316,000. During the latter portion of 2007 the Bank exercised the first renewal option on its main office. As depreciation on this facility is the largest single component of depreciation, the extension of the lease has the effect of reducing building depreciation by approximately $5,000 per month in the future. FAS123R expense is the expense required to be recognized on the vested portion of the incentive stock options to employees pursuant to the stock incentive plan adopted in 2007. Data processing expenses of $176,000 for the period were largely for outsourced data processing. The Bank outsources its data processing, item processing and statement rendering functions, thereby foregoing the backroom expenses of operating and staffing a full time computer center. Advertising and public relations expenses of $186,000 include the expense to develop a new website image for the bank as well as various newspaper and radio advertising and advertising in various community publications in the area. Professional fees of $261,000 were related to audit fees and legal fees of the Corporation and of the Bank.
2006. Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was $3.0 million. Of this amount, approximately $875,000 was incurred during the inception period between January 1, 2006 and July 25, 2006. Salaries and benefits increased by $1.1 million to $1.6 million as the Corporation began hiring the majority of its operating staff during the second quarter of 2006 in anticipation of the commencement of banking operations and to allow for training and computer systems setup. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $292,000 to $474,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $182,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to the leasing of the Bloomfield Branch office in 2006 and the leasing of a modular facility for the Bloomfield location in 2006.

In addition, rents for the Corporation’s main office were at a reduced rate for the initial lease period in 2005. The rental of the modular facility ceased in February 2007. Stock based compensation of $420,000 was recognized per FAS123R in 2006. Please see Note 1 to the financial statements for additional information. Data processing expense of $58,000 for 2006 represents the first five months of processing while the Bank was in operation. There were no data processing expenses in 2005. Professional fees decreased to $76,000 for 2006. In 2005 legal, accounting and consulting expenses were incurred for the formation of the Bank. Expenses were reduced in 2006 to more normalized levels and were primarily for accounting and legal expenses. Printing expenses increased in 2006 as the Corporation commenced banking operations. Other expenses were $214,000 for 2006, of which the increases were again largely due to the commencement of banking operations.
Income Taxes
No income tax expense or benefit was recognized in 2008, 2007 or 2006 due to the tax loss carry-forward position of the Corporation. See Note 8 to the financial statements. An income tax benefit may be booked in future periods when the Corporation begins to turn a profit and management believes that profitability will be expected for the foreseeable future beyond that point.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES; ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The liquidity of a bank allows it to provide funds to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows of deposits, and to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Funding of loan requests providing for liability outflows and managing interest rate margins require continuous analysis to attempt to match the maturities and re-pricing of specific categories of loans and investments with specific types of deposits and borrowings. Bank liquidity depends upon the mix of the banking institution’s potential sources and uses of funds. The major sources of liquidity for the Bank have been deposit growth, federal funds sold, and loans which mature within one year. Large deposit balances which might fluctuate in response to interest rate changes are closely monitored. These deposits consist mainly of certificates of deposit over $100,000. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our future commitments. As of December 31, 2008, off balance sheet loan commitments totaled $14.2 million. As a majority of the unused commitments represent commercial and equity lines of credit, the Bank expects, and experience has shown that only a small portion of the unused commitments will normally be drawn upon.
The largest uses and sources of cash and cash equivalents for the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2008, as noted in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, were centered primarily on the uses of cash in investing activities and the net cash provided by financing activities. The uses of cash in investing activities were largely due to the increase in loans of $20.1 million. The Bank also purchased investment securities totaling $4.0 million. Offsetting the uses of cash in investing activities, was the cash provided from financing activities which included net increases in deposits of $21.5 million. Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of December 31, 2008 was $4.7 million, which was a decrease of $0.4 million from $5.1 million from December 31, 2007.

Commitments to grant loans are governed by the Corporation’s credit underwriting standards, as established in the Corporation’s Loan Policy. As the above schedule illustrates, in general, it is the Corporation’s practice to grant loan commitments for a finite period of time, usually lasting one year or less. The most significant departure from this practice involves home equity lines of credit (“HELOC’s”). The Corporation’s equity line’s have a contractual draw period exceeding 5 years. The Corporation has the ability to suspend the draw privileges on a HELOC where a default situation or other impairment issue is identified.

Long-term obligations consist of time deposits (certificates of deposit) and operating lease obligations. The above schedule represents principal payments only and does not include interest (where applicable).
The Corporation has contractual payments due on time deposits totaling $32.7 million in 2009. The Corporation anticipates that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be renewed and retained. Depending on the economic and competitive conditions at the time of maturity, the rates paid on renewed time deposits may differ from rates currently paid.
Capital Resources
Management closely monitors capital levels to provide for current and future business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The prompt corrective action regulations provide four classifications, well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required. The Bank was well-capitalized as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation qualifies for an exemption from regulatory capital requirements due to its asset size. The Bank’s regulatory capital levels are presented in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
Total shareholders’ equity declined 13.5% to $9.3 million at December 31, 2008, compared with $10.8 million at December 31, 2007. The Corporation’s average equity to average asset ratio was 16.28% at December 31, 2008, compared to 30.01% at December 31, 2007. The decrease in equity in 2008 resulted from negative earnings. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 15.4% and 16.6%, respectively, compared with 25.5% and 26.8% in 2007. The decrease in the risk-based capital ratios was due to the decline in equity, while average assets continued to increase at the Bank. The Corporation’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.8% at December 31, 2008 compared with 20.3% at December 31, 2007. This increase in the leverage ratio was due to the decline in equity and the increase in average assets.
The Corporation does anticipate that it will require $4.0 to $6.0 million in additional equity during the next 36 months of operations in order to continue to grow while meeting regulatory capital requirements. Management is exploring the capital markets with the aid of consultants to determine how and when it may raise the equity.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT
Managing rates on earning assets and interest bearing liabilities focuses on maintaining stability in the net interest margin, an important factor in earnings growth and stability. Emphasis is placed on maintaining a controlled rate sensitivity position to avoid wide swings in margins and to manage risk due to changes in interest rates.
Some of the major areas of focus of the Corporation’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) incorporate the following overview functions: review the interest rate risk sensitivity of the Bank to measure the impact of changing interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income, review the liquidity position through various

measurements, review current and projected economic conditions and the corresponding impact on the Bank, ensure that capital and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses are maintained at proper levels to sustain growth, monitor the investment portfolio, recommend policies and strategies to the Board that incorporate a better balance of our interest rate risk, liquidity, balance sheet mix and yield management, and review the current balance sheet mix and proactively determine the future product mix.
The Corporation currently utilizes static gap analysis and a dynamic net interest income simulation model to measure and monitor interest rate risk. The results of the model show that the Corporation has taken steps during 2008 to balance its risk in increasing and decreasing interest rate environments.
Interest sensitivity gap analysis measures the difference between the assets and liabilities re-pricing or maturing within specific time periods. An asset-sensitive position indicates that there are more rate-sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities re-pricing or maturing within specific time periods, which would generally imply a favorable impact on net interest income in periods of rising interest rates and a negative impact in periods of falling rates. A liability-sensitive position would generally imply a negative impact on net interest income in periods of rising rates and a positive impact in periods of falling rates.
Gap analysis has limitations because it cannot measure precisely the effect of interest rate movements and competitive pressures on the re-pricing and maturity characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, a portion of our adjustable-rate assets have limits on their minimum and maximum yield, whereas most of our interest-bearing liabilities are not subject to these limitations. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as re-pricing within a stated period may in fact re-price at different times and at different volumes, and certain adjustable-rate assets may reach their yield limits and not re-price.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Corporation faces market risk to the extent that both earnings and the fair value of its financial instruments are affected by changes in interest rates. The Corporation manages this risk with static GAP analysis and has begun simulation modeling. Throughout 2008, the results of these measurement techniques were within the Corporation’s policy guidelines. The Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature of the Corporation’s substantially influenced market risk exposures, including the categories of market risk to which the Corporation is exposed and the particular markets that present the primary risk of loss to the Corporation, or in how those exposures were managed in 2008 compared to 2007.
The Corporation’s market risk exposure is mainly comprised of its vulnerability to interest rate risk. Prevailing interest rates and interest rate relationships in the future will be primarily determined by market factors, which are outside of the Corporation’s control. All information provided in this section consists of forward-looking statements. Reference is made to the section captioned “Forward Looking Statements” in

this annual report for a discussion of the limitations on the Corporation’s responsibility for such statements. The following table provides information about the Corporation’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2008. The table shows expected cash flows from market sensitive instruments for each of the next five years and thereafter. The expected maturity date values for loans and securities were calculated without adjusting the instruments’ contractual maturity dates for expected prepayments. Maturity date values for interest bearing core deposits were not based on estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding, but rather the opportunity for re-pricing. The Corporation believes that re-pricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be more relevant in analyzing the value of such instruments and are reported as such in the following table.
The following table presents principal/notional contractual maturities at December 31, 2008 (000’s omitted):
