The Bank continues to exist as a federally chartered savings bank and to be managed by the board of directors and officers in place prior to the holding company reorganization.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Annual Report”), a copy of which is available at www.twsb.com and www.sec.gov. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year, or any other period.
We have evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through August 13, 2009, the date the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.
Certain prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

For the three and six month period, there was no dilutive effect on EPS as we experienced a loss for the quarter and six month period ending June 30, 2009. Options to purchase 451,475 shares of common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2009 because their effect would have been antidilutive.
Options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 because their effect would have been antidilutive.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
We have incentive compensation plans that permit the granting of incentive and non-qualified awards in the form of stock options. These incentive plans were adopted from the Bank as a result of the reorganization. Generally, the terms of these plans stipulate that the exercise price of options may not be less than the fair market value of WSB’s common stock on the date the options are granted.

Options predominantly vest over a two year period from the date of grant, and expire not later than ten years from the date of grant.
In April 2007, the Bank awarded 5,000 shares under the 1997 Plan to its Chief Executive Officer, which have a ten-year contractual term and vested over a two year period. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation of $2,344 was recognized in the Statement of Operations for the six months ending June 30, 2009. There were no awards granted during the six months ending June 30, 2009. Currently, there is no remaining stock-based compensation expense for future periods. The fair value of the options awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with volatility calculated based on historical close prices and a risk free rate is based on the respective treasury security as of the grant date closing price.
Stock Option Plans - We have five stock option plans, which reserve shares of common stock for issuance to certain key employees and non-employee directors. Collectively, these plans reserve 2,310,000 shares for issuance pursuant to options as of June 30, 2009, 1,873,625 options have been granted and 436,375 options remain available for grant. Options granted generally expire ten years after grant date and are exercisable at 50% one year after the date of grant and the remaining 50% two years after the date of grant, with the exceptions of (1) options granted under the Non-Employee Directors’ Plan, which options are exercisable at 25% on the first and second anniversary dates and the remaining 50% three years after the date of grant and (2) the 5,000 option grant to Phillip C. Bowman in September 2005, which were fully vested at time of grant and expire 5 years after the date of grant. The exercise price of the options granted pursuant to these plans is in each case the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.

4. Uncertain Income Tax Positions
Effective August 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“Fin 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109”. As required by FIN 48, the cumulative effect has resulted in an increase to our liability for uncertain tax positions of a $474,253 charge to the retained earnings balance as of August 1, 2007. The full value of unrecognized tax benefits is $523,444 at June 30, 2009. If this liability were de-recognized, it would favorably impact the effective tax rate for the period of de-recognition. These non-current income tax liabilities are recorded in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009.
Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense. The balance of accrued interest and penalties included in the total $523,444 liability recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009 was $49,191.
5. Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Under SFAS 157, we group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These hierarchy levels are:
Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted process in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such

as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Loans
We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principle will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At June 30, 2009, substantially all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of

the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We may be required from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a non- recurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below:

The following disclosures of the estimated fair value of financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. We have determined the fair value amounts by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as FHLB stock does not have a readily available market and can only be sold back to the FHLB at its par value of $100 per share.
Deposits - The fair value of non-interest bearing accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of interest-bearing deposits is determined using the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used is the rate currently offered on similar products.
Commitments to Grant Loans and Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Written - The majority of our commitments to grant loans and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Bank and the borrower and therefore it is impractical to assign any value to these commitments.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of these financial statements since reporting period ending June 30, 2009 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The portfolio classified as “Available for Sale” is consistent with management’s assessment and intention as to the portfolio. While we have the ability to hold the securities until maturity, from time to time or with changing conditions, it may be advantageous to sell certain securities either to take advantage of favorable interest rate changes or to increase liquidity. Securities classified as “Held to Maturity” are not subject to fair value adjustment due to temporary changes in value due to interest rate variations, while securities classified as “Available for Sale” are subject to adjustment in carrying value through the accumulated comprehensive income line item in Stockholder’s Equity section of the Statement of Financial Condition.
In evaluating whether a security was other than temporarily impaired, we considered the severity and length of time impaired for each security in a loss position. Other qualitative data was also considered including recent developments specific to the organization issuing the security and the overall environment of the financial markets.
Gross unrealized losses and fair value by length of time that the individual available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) have been in a continuous unrealized loss position is as follows:

All of our temporarily impaired MBS are defined as impaired due to declines in fair values resulting from increases in interest rates compared to the time they were purchased. None of these securities have exhibited a decline in value due to changes in credit risk. Because our intention is not to sell the MBS and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the MBS before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, as such, management does not consider these MBS to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.
There were no sales of mortgage-backed securities during the six month period ending June 30, 2009.

The gain on the sale of investments for the period ending June 30, 2009 resulted from an investment being called prior to maturity. The gain from the same period of the prior fiscal year is the result of restructuring short term investments within the Bank’s portfolio to highly-rated mortgage-backed securities in an effort to minimize reinvestment risk while improving portfolio yield.
In evaluating whether a security was other than temporarily impaired, we considered the severity and length of time impaired for each security in a loss position. Other qualitative data was also considered including recent developments specific to the organization issuing the security and the overall environment of the financial markets.
Gross unrealized losses and fair value by length of time that the individual available-for-sale investment securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position are as follows:

7. New Accounting Pronouncements
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” — This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance under U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and improve the presentation and disclosure in the financial statements. The FSP specifies that if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery of its cost basis, the security would not be considered other-than-temporary impaired unless there is a credit loss. The credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impaired debt security must be determined based on the company’s best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 became effective for interim and annual reporting periods ended after June 15, 2009. Adoption of FASB Statement 115-2 and 124-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly” — This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset and liability have significantly decreased and for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. SFAS 157 does not prescribe a methodology for making significant adjustments to transactions or quoted prices when estimating fair value in these situations but this FSP states that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.
FASB Statement No. 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments to interim financial information

and amends APB Opinion No. 28. Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. We have included the new interim disclosures required by FASB Statement 107-1 and APB 28-1 in Note 5-Fair Value Measurements.
FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities issued for fiscal years and interim periods after December 15, 2008, and requires a company to retrospectively adjust its earning per share. EIFT 03-6-1 does not currently apply because the Company does not grant restricted shares.
SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. SFAS 165 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 became effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principals”, and establishes the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative guidance for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. All non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed non-authoritative. SFAS 168 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after September 15, 2009. SFAS 168 is not expected have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Some of the matters discussed below include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate”, “continue” or other words of similar meaning. You can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Our actual results and the actual outcome of our expectations and strategies could be materially different from those anticipated or estimated for the reasons discussed below and the reasons under the heading “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

Overview
WSB Holdings became the holding company of the Bank as of January 3, 2008, and reports financial results on a calendar year basis. The Bank continues to exist as a federally chartered savings bank and to be managed by its board of directors and officers in place prior to the holding company reorganization.
We operate a general commercial banking business, attracting deposit customers from the general public and using such funds, together with other borrowed funds, to make loans, with an emphasis on residential mortgage, commercial and construction lending. Our results of operations are primarily determined by the difference between the interest income and fees earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities is known as net interest-rate spread. Our principal expense is the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings. The difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is referred to as net interest income. Net interest income is significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of state and federal regulatory authorities and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Our net income is also affected by the level of our non-interest income, including loan-related fees, deposit-based fees, rental income, operation of our service corporation subsidiary, gain on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, and gain on sale of loans, as well as our non-interest and tax expenses.
During this period of economic slowdown, the effects of which, including declining real estate values resulting in asset impairment and tightening liquidity, has particularly impacted the banking industry in general, management continues to stress credit quality within both our loan and investment portfolios. Management continues efforts to diversify our loan portfolio from residential lending into commercial real estate and commercial and industrial (more commonly referred to as business lending). Management believes that such diversification will be appropriate and beneficial in dealing with interest rate spread compression and portfolio risk management, although such diversification continues to be significantly hampered by the current economic slowdown. As part of seeking more diversity in our loan portfolio, we have established commercial business and commercial real estate lending departments staffed with experienced lenders in an effort to significantly expand our nonresidential loan portfolio. This change is particularly important given the current state of the residential housing markets and our prior reliance on residential construction and mortgage origination. To expand its commercial customer deposit base, the Bank has implemented remote deposit capture services for commercial customers. This service compliments the Bank’s PC Banking platform and provides us a commercially viable means to serve the depository needs of businesses beyond our branch network. We believe that the expansion of our commercial base is significant to the profitability of the Bank in that commercial customers provide lower cost deposit funding, with commercial loan borrowings structures that re-price to interest rate changes under terms that are favorable to the Bank. Management believes that interest rates and general economic conditions nationally and in our market area are most likely to have a significant impact on our results of operations. We carefully evaluate all loan applications in attempt to minimize our credit risk exposure by obtaining a thorough application with enhanced approval procedures; however, there is no assurance that this process can reduce lending risks. Management reviews models and has established benchmark rates and assures that we remain within the limits. If the limits exceed the established benchmark rate, management develops a plan to bring interest rate risk back within the limits.
Both basic and diluted EPS amounts are shown on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, “basic” earnings per share is utilized in this report’s narrative when per share amounts are listed, unless otherwise stated.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain of its accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and may materially impact the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as the information changes over time. Accordingly, different amounts could be reported as a result of the use of revised estimates and assumptions in the application of these accounting policies.
Accounting policies considered relatively more critical due to either the subjectivity involved in the estimate and/or the potential impact that changes in the estimates can have on the reported financial results include the accounting for the allowance for loan losses. Information concerning this policy is included in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”). There were no significant changes in this accounting policy during the six months ending June 30, 2009.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was ($41,000), or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, and ($1.6) million, or ($0.20) per basic and diluted share, respectively, compared to net income of $514,000 or $0.07 per basic share and $0.06 per diluted share and $982,000 or $0.13 per basic share and $0.12 per diluted share, respectively, for the corresponding 2008 periods. Net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, represents decreases of $555,000, or 108% and $2.6 million, or 260%, over the same periods last year.
The decrease in net income for the three month period is primarily the result of a $246,000 increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums including a $202,000 special assessment, the Bank’s addition of $250,000 to the allowance for loan losses, a $210,000 decrease in net interest income and a $196,000 decrease in non-interest income. The FDIC special assessment was imposed on each insured institution’s assets minus its Tier 1 capital as reported on June 30, 2009. Without the special assessment, WSB’s net income would have been approximately $92,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The premiums also increased compared to the 2008 period because we had a FDIC insurance credit that decreased the amount of our insurance premium in the 2008 period but which was fully utilized during the fourth quarter of 2008. Additionally, WSB recognized an expense on our real estate owned properties of approximately $82,000 during the quarter ending June 30, 2009.
The decrease in net income for the six month period is primarily the result of the Bank allocating an additional $2.75 million to its allowance for loan losses.
Net interest income during the three and six month periods decreased as a result of a decrease in yield on our interest-earning assets. Non-interest income decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily because we had no gain on the sale of investment securities during the period compared to $259,000 pretax, $171,000 net of tax for the same period last year. This decrease offset increases in loan related fees and gain on sale of loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 non-interest income decreased primarily as the result of a decrease in gains on the sale of investment securities, as well as a loss on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans and a decrease in loan related fees, all of which offset an increase in gain on sale of loans in the secondary market.
While the investment portfolio continues to be in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2009, the securities are either agency securities or highly rated. As of June 30, 2009, there has been approximately
20
Table of Contents
35% downgraded with five securities that have been rated less than investment grade by one agency. We continue to aggressively monitor the performance of these securities and the underlying collateral, and at the present time have not designated any investment as other than temporary impaired.
Due to the increase to our loan portfolios of commercial business and commercial real estate to commercial borrowers, the total commercial loan portfolio increased approximately $6 million and $16.5 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 bringing the total to approximately $134.0 million, or 53.0% of total loans held for investment from $117.5 million, or 48.6% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2008.
We continually seek to increase our core deposits and advertise our lower-cost NOW accounts, no fee checking incentives, overdraft protection program, variable money fund savings account priced to current interest rates, and the advantages of customer access to ATM networks.
Interest Income/Expense
Total interest income decreased $552,000, or 8.0%, and $1.3 million, or 9.0% for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, compared to the corresponding periods last year, due primarily to a decrease in the average volume and average yield on interest-earning assets.
The average six month balance of interest-earning assets decreased to $431.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2009 from $434.3 million for the six months ending June 30, 2008, due primarily to a decrease in investment securities, offsetting an increase in loans held-for-investment portfolio and mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.89% from 6.42%. Short-term investment securities that were called were reinvested in mortgage-backed securities, consistent with a savings and loan association charter. The investment in short-term securities was being used to maintain liquidity for future loan growth as we restructured the existing loan portfolio under the business plan with a transition into a more diversified loan portfolio with lower credit risk. Additionally, we experienced an increase in non-accrual loans during the period which also negatively impacted the yield on interest-earning assets for the period ending June 30, 2009.
Total interest expense decreased $342,000, or 8.7%, and $741,000, or 9.3%, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average interest rate on our interest-bearing liabilities. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, our average interest-bearing liabilities were $392.9 million with an average rate of 3.70%, compared to $390.7 million with an average rate of 4.08%, for the corresponding periods last fiscal year.
Net interest income decreased $210,000, or 7.2%, and $518,000, or 8.7%, respectively, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Due to a lower average return on our interest-earning assets, our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.19% for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 from 2.76% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The ratio of our interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 109.69% from 111.17%.
With the current state of the residential housing markets, including reduced property values, reduced sales and increased foreclosures, as well as our prior reliance on residential construction and mortgage origination, we have continued to expand our commercial loans and commercial real estate loans based on both management’s determination that it is prudent to reduce our reliance on a sector that is currently unstable and on decreased opportunities to originate construction and mortgage loans. Commercial loans and commercial real estate loans have increased to $134.0 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to $100.6 million as of June 30, 2008.

Table of Contents
We are currently experiencing a compression of our interest rate margins due to slowing demand for loans and lower yields on loan originations and investment security offerings. This lower interest rate environment for loans and investment securities compresses the interest rate spread by reducing interest income. We believe that the continued decline of prevailing rates on fixed rate deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advance funding structures will be favorable to us as existing fixed rate instruments re-price to lower market rates reducing interest expense. Interest rate margins will be further enhanced when economic conditions begin to become more favorable to lending and funds currently held in investment securities can be redirected back into the loan portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Our loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification, and limiting exposure to any single customer or industry. We maintain an allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on careful, continuous review and evaluation of the loan portfolio, along with ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in that portfolio. The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes: (1) a formula allowance reflecting historical losses by credit category; (2) the specific allowance for risk rated credits on an individual or portfolio basis; and (3) a nonspecific allowance which accounts for risks not reflected by the other two components of the methodology. The amount of the allowance is reviewed monthly by our Loan Committee, and reviewed and approved monthly by the Board of Directors.
The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses, which are an expense. Charge-offs of loan amounts determined by management to be uncollectible or impaired decrease the allowance, while recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added back to the allowance. We make provisions for loan losses in amounts necessary to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level, as established by use of the allowance methodology.
Under the methodology, we consider trends in credit risk against broad categories of homogenous loans, as well as a loan by loan review of loans criticized or classified by management. Classified loans exceeding $300,000 are individually evaluated quarterly as part of the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance.
The current economic environment has led to an increased volume in loan delinquencies, an increase of internally criticized loans, and the devaluation of real estate collateral used to secure some of these loans. Additionally, we continue to experience an increase in our commercial real estate and commercial lending portfolio, for which management uses a higher reserve factor than traditional mortgages due to a historical loss history of both the Bank and industry indicating a higher risk of default for commercial loans. The allowance for loans losses is very subjective in nature, relying significantly on historical loss experience, collateral valuations available to management on specific loans, and economic conditions. Management believes that given the continued problems within the economy and its impact on our loan portfolio as well as the inherent risk within the portfolio that a $2.75 million provision was appropriate to increase the existing allowance level during the period ending June 30, 2009.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the allowance decreased in net by $394,000 or 7.9%, to $4.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $5.0 million at December 31, 2008, as a result of net charge-offs of approximately $3.1 million and the $2.75 million addition to the allowance. At June 30, 2009, the allowance was 1.81% of total loans held-for-investment, compared to 2.06% of total loans held-for-investment, at December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we have experienced a noticeable increase in charge-offs in our loan portfolio as well as an increase in our loans held-for-investment portfolio, which was considered in management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance during the period, and at period end. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At June 30, 2009, substantially all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. Management’s analysis of our impaired loans represents a level of reserves of approximately $2.6 million for the period ending June 30, 2009 compared to approximately $2.8 million at December 31, 2008. Despite the increase in charge-offs and our loans-held-for-investment during the period, offsetting factors, including with respect to the value of the collateral securing such impaired loans, resulted in an overall effect of a slight decrease in the allowance as a percentage of total loans held-for-investments.
Assets subject to our Loan Committee criticism include loans which meet our criteria for classification as sub-standard due to collateral deficiencies that may reflect inherent losses. Based on the review of the individual loans involved, management estimates inherent losses. We continue to assess the allowance as new and relevant data is obtained. Assets subject to our Loan Committee criticism include loans which meet the sub-standard criteria due to collateral deficiencies that may reflect possible losses. Based on the review of the individual loans involved, management estimates probable losses. Management continues to assess the probable losses as new and relevant data is obtained.
We believe that the allowance reflects our best estimate of the probable inherent losses existing in our $252.9 million loans-held for investment portfolio as of June 30, 2009. The $7.2 million loan held-for-sale portfolio has been committed to be purchased by investors at June 30, 2009 and will be settled subsequent to that date.
Our determination of the adequacy of the allowance requires significant judgment, and estimates of probable losses inherent in the loans held-for-investment portfolio can vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. See Critical Accounting Policies in the 2008 Form 10-K. While we use available information to recognize probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in the credits comprising the portfolios, changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions, or other considerations determined by management to be appropriate.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the loan portfolio and the allowance. Such review may result in additional provisions based upon their judgments of information available at the time of each examination.
We have developed a comprehensive review process to monitor the adequacy of the allowance. The review process and guidelines were developed utilizing guidance from federal banking regulatory agencies and relies on relevant observable data. The observable data considered in the determination of the allowance is modified as more relevant data becomes available. The results of this review process support management’s view that the allowance reflects probable losses within the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2009.
Changes in the estimation valuations may take place based on the status of the economy and the estimate of the value of the property securing loans, and as a result, the allowance may increase or decrease. Future adjustments could substantially affect the amount of the allowance.

Table of Contents
The following occurred during the six months ending June 30, 2009, which impacted the allowance analysis:
· We experienced defaults in 1-4 family residential loans of approximately $325,000.
· We experienced defaults in lot loans of approximately $308,000.
· We experienced defaults in construction residential loans of approximately $1.4 million.
· Due to the increase in the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolio, we established reserves for these types of loans at levels in line with the industry, and experienced defaults in commercial loans of approximately $1.1 million.
All of the above-referenced loan defaults were charged off to the allowance during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Also, during the three months ending June 30, 2009, additional loans were partially charged off to the allowance and as a result, we took a provision for the allowance of $250,000 during the period to ensure that the amount of the allowance was adequate to account for identified and additional unidentified probable losses in our loan portfolio.
We believe our evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance as of June 30, 2009 is appropriate, and caution the reader that the provisioning for the six month period is not necessarily indicative of future provisioning. Subjective judgment is significant in the determination of the provision and allowance, manifested in the valuation of collateral, a borrower’s prospects of repayment, and in establishing allowance factors and components for the formula allowance for homogeneous loans. The establishment of allowance factors is a continuing exercise, based on management’s assessment of the factors and their impact on the portfolio, and that allowance factors may change from period to period, resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision or allowance, based upon the same volume and classification of loans. A time lag between the recognition of loss exposure in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance and a loan’s ultimate resolution and/or charge-off is normal and to be expected. See above for discussion of some of the factors that have had a significant impact in the evaluation of the adequacy of our allowance.
We review on a monthly basis the adequacy of the allowance, and make provisions accordingly to meet the deemed losses within the portfolio. For a better understanding and a more complete description of the allowance and the evaluation process, refer to the 2008 Form 10-K.
As shown below in tabular format, there has been an increase in charge-offs compared to the comparable period last year. While there has been an increase in loan charge-offs, we believe there are additional, unidentified, probable losses within the portfolio, which may be reflected as charge-offs against the allowance in future quarters as these losses manifest themselves and loan collection efforts continue.

At June 30, 2009, total non-performing loans were $28.9 million, or 11.44% of total loans held for investment, compared to $18.3 million, or 7.58% of total loans held-for-investment, at December 31, 2008. Non-performing loans consisted of $25.3 million that were non-accrual loans and $3.6 million in accruing loans, which were contractually past due more than four months, but with current positions deemed to fully support recovery of principal and interest as of June 30, 2009. For the six month period ending June 30, 2009, we recorded charge-offs of $2.0 million on $4.3 million of non-accrual loans. This reduced the balances on these loans to $2.3 million which is a level we believe to be collectable through the liquidation of collateral or collection methods. The allowance is approximately 18.1% of non-accrual loans, versus 27.1% at December 31, 2008. Significant variation in this ratio may occur from period to period because the amount of non-performing loans depends largely on the condition of a small number of individual credits and borrowers relative to the total loan and lease portfolio.
As previously reported, there has been an increase in court caseloads resulting in delays in ratification of foreclosure sale actions by the courts affecting mortgage lenders, including us. This has resulted in both a lengthening of the curing time for delinquent loans and an increase in non-performing asset levels. Recent Maryland legislation intended to provide extended notice periods and other protections to defaulting mortgagors will further delay the resolution of defaulting loans secured by residential properties, both owner and non-owner occupied. We are continuing our practice of working with borrowers to resolve delinquencies, with foreclosure action being the remedy of last resort when reasonable means to cure deficiencies in the best interest of both the Bank and the borrower, consistent with sound banking considerations, are exhausted.
We did not actively participate in “subprime” lending. However, we may be affected by proposed national legislation being considered that would impact the entire financial services industry. This legislation, among other things, is aimed at addressing problems caused by “subprime” borrowers and lenders. If adopted, such legislation may have a negative impact on other areas of residential real estate lending and default resolution, further decreasing real estate values.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income decreased $195,000, or 23.2%, and $450,000, or 27.9% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases for the three and six month periods are primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of investment securities and a loss on the sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans, which were offset in part by an increase in gain on sale of loans.
Gain on the sale of loans increased $86,000 and $265,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods last year due to an overall higher premium and increased collection of up-front fees associated with those loans as well as lower costs associated with the origination of these loans. The costs associated with these loans decreased primarily as the result of reduced volume. Our ability to realize gains in future periods will depend largely on interest rates and the demand for mortgage loans.
While production of loans held-for-sale has been negatively impacted nationally by the current market constriction as to non-conforming and non-traditional mortgage offerings, and overall credit tightening, the Bank continues to offer traditional mortgage financing through its mortgage banking operations. Because loans we sell in the secondary market are recourse, and we could be required to repurchase such loans if the purchasers turn out to be not creditworthy, we continue to monitor the anticipated negative impact and/or exposure of many of the larger secondary market investors, and as such have further reduced or eliminated the selling of loans to investors where liquidity or financial capacity is in question.

Table of Contents
The decrease on the gain on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans for the three month period ending June 30, 2009 is the result of a net loss of on the sale of eight properties in which we recorded a net loss of $29,000 compared to the sale of five properties for a net gain of $11,000 for the same three month period last year. The decrease for the six months ending June 30, 2009, is the result of a net loss on the sale of fourteen properties in which we recorded a net loss of $115,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to the net gain of $94,000 recorded on the sale of ten properties at June 30, 2008.
There were no gains on sale of investment securities for the three month period ending June 30, 2009, compared to $259,000 pretax, $171,000 net of tax for the same period last year. Gain on sale of investment securities for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 was approximately $23,000 pretax, $14,000 net of tax, compared to a gain on sale of investment securities of $450,000 pretax, $297,000 net of tax for same period last year. The gain during the 2009 period resulted from one of our investments being called and repurchased prior to maturity. The prior period gain on the sale of investments resulted from our sale of certain mortgage-backed securities, the proceeds of which were used to purchase similar investment securities with a higher interest rate in an effort to minimize reinvestment risk while improving portfolio yield. We did not undertake to restructure our short-term investments during the 2009 period, as given current market conditions, the opportunity to purchase higher-yield investment securities was absent.
Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses increased $195,000, or 6.4% and $182,000, or 2.9% for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding prior fiscal year periods.
The increase in non-interest expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increases of $246,000 in deposit insurance premiums and assessments and $68,000 in provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans, partially offset by a decrease of $156,000 in salaries and benefits. The increase in non-interest expenses for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increases of $257,000 in deposit insurance premiums and assessments and $266,000 in losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans, partially offset by a decrease of $313,000 in salaries and benefits.
The increase in deposit insurance premiums is the result of a special assessment imposed by the FDIC on all insured institutions as well as an overall FDIC increase. The special assessment premium is based on each institutions total assets minus its Tier 1 capital as reported on June 30, 2009. Without the special assessment, WSB’s net income would have been approximately $92,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. Management believes that disclosing our net income without the special assessment is useful information to investors because it shows what net income would have been during the quarter based on our normal operations, as the special assessment is not expected to be a regular and ongoing expense. However, based on statements made when the FDIC imposed the special assessment we believe it is likely that an additional special assessment will be imposed during either the third or fourth quarter of 2009.
We recognized an expense of $83,000 and $281,00 for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, respectively, for the provision for losses on real estate acquired in settlement of loans. These decreases are the result of obtaining updated appraisal and/or evaluations on the properties that have been classified as real estate owned, which resulted in additional write downs of certain properties as a result of continuing declines in real estate prices.

Table of Contents
The decrease in salaries and benefits is the result of the reduced loan production on loans sold in the secondary market and the commissions associated with these loans. We have closed our wholesale mortgage lending operation as well as all retail mortgage offices except for the Bowie office in response to the current economic slowdown in both our local markets and nationwide. We have also reduced staff throughout various areas, primarily back-office functions, but these decreases have been partially offset by increased staff associated with the growth of business lending activities due to the continuing growth in our commercial loans. These expense reductions are expected to continue to benefit us in the foreseeable future.
Income Taxes
A tax benefit of $952,000 occurred for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to a tax expense of $392,000 for the same period last year. The tax benefit was the result of a pre-tax loss of $2.5 million, the exclusion of income for the bank owned life insurance, and a tax benefit attributable to our investment portfolio of which a significant portion is not subject to Maryland state taxes. The effective tax rates were (37.7%) and 28.5% for the respective six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets were $457.9 million and $454.5 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in assets at June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, was primarily attributable to an increase in the loans held for investment and the available for sale mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by decreases in the available for sale investment securities.
Deposits were $257.7 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $251.2 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in deposits at June 30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, was primarily due to an increase in our savings accounts offsetting a decrease in our certificates of deposit. During this period, our rates on money fund accounts were slightly higher than the Bank’s competitors, resulting in an increase in deposits, but lower certificate of deposit rates negatively affected renewals for certificates of deposit. Management anticipates continuing to utilize excess funding liquidity to offset a runoff of higher cost certificates of deposit which were previously originated to fund loan production.
Borrowings at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:
| | Balance as of | |
| | June 30, | | | | December 31, | | | |
| | 2009 | | Rate | | 2008 | | Rate | |
| | | | | | | | | |
FHLB-advances -fixed | | $ | 104,000,000 | | 4.69 | % | $ | 104,000,000 | | 4.69 | % |
FHLB advances - daily rate credit | | 9,000,000 | | 0.43 | % | $ | 13,100,000 | | 0.46 | % |
Reverse Repurchase Agreement | | 30,000,000 | | 3.82 | % | 30,000,000 | | 3.82 | % |
| | $ | 143,000,000 | | | | $ | 147,100,000 | | | |
At December 31, 2008, FHLB advances totaled $117.1 million. During the six month period ending June 30, 2009, we reduced the daily rate credit to $9.0 million, bringing the FHLB advances balance to $113.0 million.
Total borrowings are $143.0 million as of June 30, 2009. We maintain funding activities with correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which are cancelable by the lender and subject to lender discretion. To the extent we do not or can not use FHLB borrowings, we would rely on alternative funding sources, including our deposit base and correspondent bank lines of credit.

As a member of the FHLB system, and in order to maintain insurance with the FDIC, we must maintain average daily balances of long-term liquid assets of not less than 4% of the average daily balance of the Bank’s liquidity base (net withdrawable savings accounts and borrowings during the preceding calendar month which are payable within one year). Liquid assets are defined as cash, Federal Reserve deposits, time and savings deposits in certain institutions, obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof, highly rated corporate debt, mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, and accrued interest receivable and principal on certain qualified unpledged assets payable within five years. Internal sources of liquidity used by the Bank are various short-term investments, mortgage-backed securities, and short-term borrowings. During June 2009, our long-term average daily balances of liquid assets were $57.0 million, which exceeded the $12.0 million required.
Current regulations require subsidiaries of an institution to be separately capitalized and require investments in and extensions of credit to any subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a bank to be deducted in the computation of an institution’s regulatory capital. The Bank’s regulatory capital and regulatory assets below also reflect increases of $5.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which represents unrealized losses (after-tax for capital deductions and pre-tax for asset deductions, respectively) on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities classified as available for sale. In addition, the Bank’s risk-based capital reflects an increase of $1.9 million in the general loan loss reserve. The loan loss reserve factor represents 1.25% of the Bank’s risk-weighted assets. The following table shows regulatory thrift capital ratios required, the Bank’s actual ratios, and the amount by which the Bank’s ratios exceed required capital ratios, as of June 30, 2009.
Capital Category | | Regulatory Ratios Required | | Bank’s Amount and Ratio | | Bank’s Excess of Requirements | | Calculations | | Based Upon | |

Our management believes that, under current regulations, and eliminating the assets of WSB Holdings, the Bank remains well capitalized and will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond our control, such as a shift in interest rates or a greater than anticipated downturn in the economy in areas where we extend credit, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, our ability to meet minimum capital requirements in the future.
The Qualified Thrift Lender Test currently requires that “qualified thrift investments” be at least 65% of portfolio assets as defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). At June 30, 2009, our ratio was approximately 85% of defined portfolio assets.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under existing lines of credit and commitments to sell loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
28
Table of Contents
Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows:
Commitments to originate new loans | | $ | 4,411,869 | |
Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing construction, equity line and commercial lines of credit | | 32,335,239 | |
Standby letters of credit | | 822,973 | |
Commitments to sell loans held-for-sale | | 7,158,815 | |
We do not have any unconsolidated special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Commitments to originate new loans or to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally expire within 90 days. Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 12 months, and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.
Commitments to sell loans held-for-sale are agreements to sell loans to third parties at an agreed upon price.

Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d — 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2009.
During the period covered by the report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant or material weaknesses) in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. At June 30, 2009, other than as discussed below, we were not involved in any legal proceedings the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, would be material to our financial condition or results of operations.
During 2003 we donated land we had foreclosed upon to the Maryland Environmental Trust and took a tax deduction for a conservation easement charitable donation. On April 6, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice attributable to the disallowance of the conservation easement charitable donation. We had valued the donation at $2.1 million based on an appraisal of the land, and the deduction netted us a tax benefit of $745,000. The IRS disagreed with the appraisal and asserted that it would not allow the deduction. On May 8, 2006, we filed a timely Protest appealing an Internal Revenue Service proposed adjustment on the valuation of the conservation easement donated to the Maryland Environmental Trust. We had a court date scheduled with the United States Tax Court on June 8, 2009, however a joint motion for continuance was filed and no new court date has been set. We maintain that the donation complied with the statutory requirements of 26 U.S.C. §170(h). Based the relevant statutory provisions, regulations and case law on point, we believe we will be successful in establishing that the donation complied with and satisfied the applicable rules and regulations and therefore, we are entitled to the charitable conservation easement donation as claimed. However, the courts have traditionally resolved valuation disputes by reaching a middle ground between the competing values as proposed by the Internal Revenue Service and the taxpayer. Therefore, at this time, we are unable to determine whether or to what
30

extent our valuation of the conservation easement will be sustained. We have recorded a liability of approximately $523,444 in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No 48 (Fin 48), as a result of this pending issue.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following supplements the discussion under, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2008 Form 10-K.
If economic conditions continue to deteriorate, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected as borrowers’ ability to repay loans declines and the value of the collateral securing our loans decreases.
Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including decreases in real estate values, changes in interest rates which may cause a decrease in interest rate spreads, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and other significant external events. Further, because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of real estate related loans, continued decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for loans in our portfolio.
As discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of this report, we have recently experienced increased losses in our loan portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had almost $3.1 million in net loan charge-offs, or an annualized 1.24% of total loans held for investment. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net loan charge-offs were $551,559, or an annualized .23% of loans held for investment. The loan loss provision for the Bank was $2.75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to no provision during the first six months of 2008 and a provision of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Nonperforming loans, which includes loans that are 90 days past due, nonaccrual and renegotiated loans, were $28.9 million or 11.44% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2009 and $18.3 million or 7.58% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2008. Non-performing loans at June 30, 2009 consisted of approximately $25.3 million in non-accrual loans and approximately $3.6 million in loans which were contractually past due more than four months, but with current positions deemed to fully support recovery of principal and interest as of June 30, 2009. All of the non-performing loans were non-accrual at December 31, 2008. It remains unclear when economic conditions will improve and when these negative trends in our loan portfolio will reverse. As a result, our future earnings continue to be susceptible to further deteriorating economic conditions which may continue to negatively affect our revenues, net income and liquidity.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not repurchase any of our securities during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
