Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Bank’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. The financial statements as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in Alliance Bank and Trust’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Note 2 - Stock Offering
The Bank completed a stock offering during the first quarter of 2007 whereby 1,339,100 shares of the Bank’s common stock were issued at an offering price of $9.85 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering were $13,190,135 and expenses related to the offering totaled $928,108. The proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds provide additional capital to support our growth in deposits, to increase our lending limits, to fund future branch expansion and to enhance our competitive posture.
Note 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and / or disclosure of financial information by the Company.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This statement permits, but does not require, entities to measure many financial instruments at fair value. The objective is to provide entities with an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Entities electing this option will apply it when the entity first recognizes an eligible instrument and will report unrealized gains and losses on such instruments in current earnings. This statement (1) applies to all entities, (2) specifies certain election dates, (3) can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with some exceptions, (4) is irrevocable, and (5) applies only to entire instruments. One exception is demand deposit liabilities which are explicitly excluded as qualifying for fair value. With respect to SFAS 115, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at the effective date are eligible for the fair value option at that date. If the fair value option is elected for those securities at the effective date, cumulative unrealized gains and losses at that date shall be included in the cumulative-effect adjustment and thereafter, such securities will be accounted for as trading securities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Bank on January 1, 2008. Earlier adoption is permitted in 2007 if the Bank also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurement.” The Bank is currently analyzing the fair value option provided under SFAS 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009. The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Before this statement, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests (minority interest). As a result, diversity in practice exists. In some cases minority interest is reported as a liability and in others it is reported in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. Specifically, SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financials statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net

(Unaudited)
income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improving the transparency of financial reporting. It is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS 133 by requiring that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. This pronouncement does not impact accounting measurements but will result in additional disclosures if the Company is involved in material derivative and hedging activities at that time.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP 140-3”). This FSP provides guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and the transferor’s repurchase financing of the asset. This FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement (linked transaction) under SFAS No. 140. However, if certain criteria are met, the initial transfer and repurchase financing are not evaluated as a linked transaction and are evaluated separately under Statement 140. FSP 140-3 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and earlier application is not permitted. Accordingly, this FSP is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FSP 140-3 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, this FSP is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 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. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
-9-
ALLIANCE BANK AND TRUST
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
| | |
Level 1 | | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. |
| |
Level 2 | | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans. |
| |
Level 3 | | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly-structured or long-term derivative contracts. |
Available-for-sale investment securities ($3,933,725 at March 31, 2008) are the only assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using level 1 or level 3 inputs. The Company has no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
The Company is predominantly an asset based lender with real estate serving as collateral on a substantial majority of loans. Loans which are deemed to be impaired are primarily valued at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company considers to be level 2 inputs. The aggregate carrying amount of impaired loans at March 31, 2008 was $2,416,610.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following is a discussion of the Bank’s financial condition as of March 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s condensed financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in the Bank’s 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Bank’s management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Bank’s management. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” and “believe,” as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Bank’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the Bank’s operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Bank’s filings with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net interest income was $1,208,131 as compared to $1,082,316 for the same period in 2007. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 4.11% and 5.09%, respectively. The average rate realized on interest-earning assets was 6.93% and 8.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The net interest spread was 2.82% and 3.58% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that in management’s judgment is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 the provision was $171,989 and $23,556, respectively. It is the position of management that based upon the current economic environment in which the Bank is operating, that it is prudent to take an aggressive approach to identifying any potential credit related issues and setting aside additional reserves in a proactive manner. Management feels that the reserve is appropriate to the risks held within the portfolio. On March 31, 2008, there were $1,369,665 in loans in nonaccrual status. On March 31, 2007, there were $1,073,379 in loans in nonaccrual status. Based on present information, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2008 and 2007 to meet presently known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is 1.24% and 1.29% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There are risks inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral. The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, including management’s experience at other institutions, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Management’s judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which it believes to be reasonable, but which may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required. Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of the Bank’s net income and, possibly, its capital.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $51,634, or 10.98% less than total noninterest income for the same period last year. The largest component of noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 was service charges on deposit accounts, which totaled $46,542 or 67.75% higher than those for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. This increase was driven largely by the Bank’s expanded efforts in the acquisition of retail demand deposit accounts. Residential mortgage application fees were $840 and other service charges, commissions and fees were $3,052 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.

Noninterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $903,556 or 16.25% higher than total noninterest expense for the same period last year. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits, which were $565,651 and $491,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Salaries and benefits increased due to the increase in the number of active employees and the additional expense of accrued bonuses and other benefits. Other operating expenses were $227,183 and $219,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the effective income tax rate was 39.11% and 39.39%, respectively. The income tax provision was $72,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to an income tax provision of $133,737 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Net Income
The combination of the above factors resulted in net income of $112,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net income of $205,755 for the comparable period in 2007, a decrease of 45.48%.
Assets and Liabilities
During the first three months of 2008, total assets increased $10,010,631 or 6.80% when compared to December 31, 2007. The primary growth in assets was an increase in loans receivable of $10,885,411 or 9.11% when compared to December 31, 2007. The funding for the growth came from a $12,749,752 increase in deposits. The growth was a result of the Bank’s efforts to establish its presence in its marketplace and continued expansion of its customer base.
Investment Securities
Investment securities totaled $4,829,305 as of March 31, 2008 as compared to $4,807,187 at December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $3,933,725 were designated as available-for-sale. The other investments were nonmarketable equity securities consisting of $850,400 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock and a $45,180 investment in Community Bankers Bank stock.
Loans
We experienced loan growth during the first three months of 2008 as we worked to establish our presence in our marketplace. Loans increased $10,885,411, or 9.11%, during the period. As shown below, the largest increase was in real estate—mortgage loans which increased $3,835,000 or 5.06%, to $79,584,000 at March 31, 2008. Real estate construction loans increased $4,261,000, or 16.14%, to $30,666,000. Consumer and other loans decreased $31,589 or 2.80%, to $1,095,837. Balances within the major loans receivable categories as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows:

Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio
Criticized loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention and which could, if uncorrected, result in deterioration of the prospects for repayment or the Bank’s credit position at a future date. Classified loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or any collateral and as to which there is a distinct possibility or probability that we will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank had criticized loans totaling $1,092,269 and $2,020,720, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and December 31,

ALLIANCE BANK AND TRUST
Item 2 - Management’s Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation – continued
2007, the Bank had classified loans totaling $1,639,297 and $1,473,793, respectively. At March 31, 2008, the Bank had $1,369,665 or 1.05% of total gross loans in nonaccrual status.
The following table depicts the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Total deposits increased $12,749,752, or 12.28%, from December 31, 2007 to $116,535,235 at March 31, 2008. The largest increase was in time deposits $100,000 and over, which increased $14,825,158 or 30.95%, to $62,718,107 at March 31, 2008. Expressed in percentages, noninterest-bearing deposits increased 11.62% and interest-bearing deposits increased 12.31%.

Liquidity
Liquidity needs are met by the Bank through cash and short-term investments, and scheduled maturities of loans on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side for interest-bearing deposit accounts and advances from Federal Home Loan Bank. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank’s primary sources of liquidity included federal funds sold totaling $13,126,062 and securities available-for-sale totaling $3,933,725. The Bank also has lines of credit available with the FHLB. Lines of credit available through correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaled $17,400,000 at March 31, 2008.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity increased $173,571 to $24,647,293 at March 31, 2008. This is the result of net income for the period of $112,178, an unrealized gain, net of taxes, in securities available-for-sale of $26,125 and stock based compensation of $35,268.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Tier 1 capital of the Bank consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. The Bank’s Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.
-13-
ALLIANCE BANK AND TRUST
Item 2 - Management’s Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation – continued
The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on adjusted quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. Only the strongest banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the minimum.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital at March 31, 2008:

Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Through its operations, the Bank has made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to the Bank’s customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At March 31, 2008, the Bank had issued commitments to extend credit of $21,067,404 through various types of commercial lending arrangements. All of these commitments to extend credit had variable rates.
The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at March 31, 2008.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the table above do not necessarily reflect the Bank’s need for funds in the periods shown.
The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2007 as contained in our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements. Refer to the portions of the discussion in this report on Form 10-Q and in our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders that address our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.
Item 3A(T). Controls and Procedures
(a) | Based on their evaluation of the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2008, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective. |
(b) | There was no change in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of its evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. |
