Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of the Company’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of loan quality, and probable loan losses, liquidity, and interest risk; and statements of the Company’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behaviors, and other economic conditions; future laws and regulations; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.

As of June 30, 2006, the provision for loan losses was $135 thousand compared to $240 thousand for the same period in 2005. Charge-offs totaled $58 thousand reflecting an increase of $24 thousand when compared to the $34 thousand charged-off during the same period in 2005. Recoveries for the period were $9 thousand, compared to $72 thousand recovered during the first six months of 2005.
Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and its underlying collateral, the mix of loans within the portfolio, delinquency trends, economic conditions, current and prospective trends in real estate values, and other relevant factors under our allowance methodology.
Our allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan classification-based system. We base the required allowance on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan classification level. Allowance percentages are based on each individual lending program, its loss history and underwriting characteristics including loan value, credit score, debt coverage, collateral, and capacity to service debt.
This analysis is used to validate the loan loss reserve matrix as well as assist in establishing overall lending direction. In Management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2006 is adequate. There were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance during the period.
Non-performing assets consist of non-accruing loans, loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing, restructured loans, and foreclosed real estate.
The following table shows the non-performing assets as of June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005.
