4. (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share.(Loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options and warrants are not considered dilutive securities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 due to the net loss incurred by the Company. Outstanding stock options and warrants are considered dilutive securities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 for the purposes of calculating diluted EPS, which is computed using the treasury stock method. The following table represents the calculations of the weighted-average number of shares for EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts):

5.Share Based Compensation. The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123 (R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under the transition method, compensation cost recognized includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-base payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R). Prior to December 31, 2005, the Company was not considered a public company as defined in SFAS 123 and used the minimum value method to determine stock based compensation. Therefore, the stock options granted in 2005 that vested subsequent to December 31, 2005 are not required to be expensed by the Company upon implementation of SFAS 123(R). The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for all subsequent options granted in salaries and employee benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company adopted a stock option plan for its employees and directors (the “Plan”). Fifteen percent of the total amount of common shares outstanding, up to 450,000 shares (currently 397,981 shares), have been reserved under the Plan. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted to directors vest immediately and for employees, the options primarily vest over two years starting with the date of grant and ending on the second anniversary thereof. At June 30, 2009, there were 89,263 options available for future grants under the Plan. A summary of stock option transactions under the Plan for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Options | | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |

5.Share Based Compensation, Continued. The fair values of each option granted for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.46 | % | | 4.04 | % | | 1.46 | % | | 4.04-4.58 | % |
Dividend yield | | | — | % | | — | % | | — | % | | — | % |
Expected stock volatility | | | 10.00 | % | | 6.92 | % | | 10.00 | % | | 6.92 | % |
Expected life in years | | | 5.50 | | | 5.50 | | | 5.50 | | | 5.50 | |
Per share grant-date fair value of options issued during the period | | $ | 1.29 | | | 2.02 | | | 1.29 | | | 2.02-2.22 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Company has examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of similar size financial institutions. 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 dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.
There were no options exercised during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. There were 17,486 options exercised during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. There was no intrinsic value or tax benefit related to these options exercised. At June 30, 2009, there was approximately $36,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the nonvested share-based compensation arrangement granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of eight months. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was approximately $44,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, and $8,000 for the same period in 2008.

Review by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has made a limited review of the financial data as of June 30, 2009, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Alarion Financial Services, Inc.
Ocala, Florida:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Alarion Financial Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These interim condensed financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 23, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis |
General
Alarion Financial Services, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) owns 100% of the common stock of Alarion Bank (the “Bank”) and North Central Florida Developers Corporation (collectively the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary activity is the operation of the Bank and North Central Florida Developers Corporation. The Bank is a state (Florida)-chartered commercial bank. The Company offers a variety of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers through its six banking offices located in Ocala and Gainesville, Florida. North Central Florida Developers Corporation holds loans or assets that might require a longer term hold to realize full economic value.
The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to applicable limits. The Holding Company’s operations are subject to supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. The operations of the Bank are subject to the supervision and regulation of the FDIC and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.
The Bank provides a variety of consumer and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and industries. The basic services offered by the Bank include: demand interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing accounts, money market deposit accounts, NOW accounts, time deposits, credit cards, cash management, direct deposits, notary services, money orders, night depository, travelers’ checks, cashier’s checks, domestic collections, savings bonds, bank drafts, automated teller services, drive-in tellers, and banking by mail. In addition, the Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial, consumer, and real estate loans and issues stand-by letters of credit. The Bank provides automated teller machine (ATM) cards and is a member of the Star ATM network, thereby permitting customers to utilize the convenience of larger ATM networks. In addition to the foregoing services, the offices of the Company provide customers with extended banking hours. The Company does not have trust powers and, accordingly, no trust services are provided.
16
ALARION FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The revenues of the Bank are primarily derived from interest on, and fees received in connection with, real estate and other loans, and from interest and dividends from investment and mortgage-backed securities, and short-term investments. The principal sources of funds for the Bank’s lending activities are its deposits and borrowings, repayment of loans, and the sale and maturity of investment securities. The principal expenses of the Bank are the interest paid on deposits, and operating and general administrative expenses.
As is the case with banking institutions generally, the Company’s operations are materially and significantly influenced by general economic conditions and by related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the FDIC. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing of real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting local demand and availability of funds. The Company faces strong competition in the attraction of deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and in the origination of loans.
Capital Resources, Commitments and Capital Requirements
The Bank’s principal sources of funds are those generated by the Bank, including net increases in deposits and borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, and proceeds from maturities of investment securities.
The Bank uses its capital resources principally to fund existing and continuing loan commitments and to purchase investment securities. Off-balance-sheet commitments to extend credit represent legally binding agreements to lend to customers with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since many commitments are expected to expire without being funded, committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s contractual obligations, including certain on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet obligations, at June 30, 2009 (in thousands):
| | | |
Contractual Obligations | | Total |
| |
Time deposit maturities | | $ | 155,359 |
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank | | | 21,000 |
Other borrowings | | | 9,524 |
Commitments to extend credit | | | 3,880 |
Unused lines of credit | | | 24,220 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 403 |
| | | |
| |
Total | | $ | 214,386 |
| | | |
Management believes that the Bank has adequate resources to fund all its commitments, that a majority of all of its existing commitments will be funded within 12 months and, if so desired, that the Bank can adjust the rates and terms on time deposits and other deposit accounts to retain or obtain new deposits in a changing interest rate environment.

ALARION FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Regulatory Capital Requirements
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 Company’s 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 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 percentages of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. If such minimum amounts and percentages are met, the Bank is considered “adequately capitalized.” If the actual amounts exceed the requirements of “adequately capitalized,” and meet even more stringent minimum standards, they are considered “well capitalized.” Management believes as of June 30, 2009, the Bank meets the capital requirements for a “well capitalized” financial institution.
The table below shows the total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios of the Bank at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the minimum required amounts and percentages ($ in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008
General Operating Results.Net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was $473,000, or $(0.22) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net earnings of $47,000, or $.02 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable period in 2008. The $520,000 change resulted primarily from an increase in noninterest expense of $1.0 million and an increase of $237,000 in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $10,000 increase in noninterest income, and a $433,000 increase in net interest income.
Interest Income.Interest income increased $466,000 to $3.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, when compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due to a $58.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding for the three-months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the 2008 period, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 5.97% for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 to 5.35% for three-months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest Expense.Interest expense increased $33,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $55.2 million in average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 3.97% for the three-months ended June 30, 2008 to 3.02% for the comparable 2009 period. Average interest-bearing deposits increased from $161.3 million outstanding during the three-months ended June 30, 2008 to $210.6 million outstanding during the comparable period for 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses.The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to increase the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of $293,000 and $56,000, respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which was $2.7 million or 1.17% of gross loans at June 30, 2009 is adequate.
Noninterest Income.Noninterest income increased $10,000 during the 2009 period. The increase was primarily due to a $6,000 increase in deposit account fees, and a $8,000 increase in other noninterest income, partially offset by a $4,000 decrease in loan brokerage fees when compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2008.
Noninterest Expense.Noninterest expense increased by $1.0 million from $1.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $2.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to increases of $67,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $81,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $23,000 in data processing expense, $625,000 for impairment of Silverton Bank stock, and $220,000 in other noninterest expense, all related to the overall growth of the Company.
Income Taxes.The income tax benefit was $262,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009. The income tax expense was $34,000 for the corresponding period in 2008.

General Operating Results.Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 was $539,000, or $(0.27) per basic and diluted common share, compared to net earnings of $40,000, or $.02 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable period in 2008. The $579,000 change resulted primarily from an increase in noninterest expense of $1.3 million, and an increase of $145,000 in provision for loan losses, partially offset by a $14,000 increase in noninterest income, and a $579,000 increase in net interest income.
Interest Income.Interest income increased $574,000 to $6.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due to a $52.0 million increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 6.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to 5.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $5,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 4.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 3.18% partially offset by a $51.4 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities outstanding for the comparable 2009 period. Average interest-bearing deposits increased from $158.2 million outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $203.3 million outstanding during the comparable period for 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses.The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to increase the total loan loss allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management. The provision is based upon the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of $387,000 and $242,000, respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, which was $2.7 million or 1.17% of gross loans at June 30, 2009 is adequate.
Noninterest Income.Noninterest income increased $14,000 during the 2009 period. The increase was primarily due to a $26,000 increase in deposit account fees and a $10,000 increase in other noninterest income when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, partially offset by a $22,000 decrease in loan brokerage fees.
Noninterest Expense.Noninterest expense increased by $1.3 million from $2.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 to $4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to increases of $191,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $159,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $55,000 in data processing expense, $625,000 for impairment of Silverton Bank Stock and $282,000 in other noninterest expense, all related to the overall growth of the Company.
Income Taxes.The income tax expense was $42,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and the income tax benefit was $276,000 for the corresponding period in 2009.
