All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The unaudited statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the Company's fiscal year ending June 30, 2003. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2002, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The weighted average number of common shares used to calculate earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, were as follows: Three months ended Nine months ended March 31, March 31, 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- Basic weighted - average shares 1,366,342 1,689,348 1,355,649 1,716,691 Effect of dilutive securities 90,580 84,655 87,544 81,507 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Diluted weighted - average shares 1,456,922 1,774,003 1,443,193 1,798,198 ========== ========== ========== ========== The Company has issued stock options that have the potential to be dilutive to its weighted average shares calculation, and were dilutive for the three and nine month periods ending March 31, 2003 and 2002. In addition, the Company has issued MRP shares that have the potential to be dilutive to its weighted average shares calculation, and were dilutive for the three month period ending March 31, 2003, but were anti-dilutive for the remaining periods listed above. NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company may be a defendant from time to time in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. NOTE 4 - MONTICELLO BRANCH SALE On July 19, 2002, the Bank sold its Monticello branch to Simmons First Bank of South Arkansas. The sale included approximately $8.3 million in loans, $1.5 million in fixed assets, $0.2 million in other assets and $13.2 million in deposits. The Bank recognized a premium on the deposits of approximately $0.9 million and the difference was paid in cash to the buyer. Page 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this Form 10-Q, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's significant accounting policies are set forth in note 1 of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2002 which was filed on Form 10-K. Of these significant accounting policies, the Company considers its policy regarding the allowance for loan losses to be its most critical accounting policy, because it requires management's most subjective and complex judgments. In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Company has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Company's assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers which is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. GENERAL The Bank's principal business consists of attracting savings deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first mortgages on existing owner-occupied single-family residences in the Bank's primary market area, commercial and multi-family real estate loans and consumer and commercial business loans. The Bank also maintains a substantial investment portfolio of mortgage-related securities and nontaxable municipal securities. The Bank's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its loans, mortgage-backed securities and securities portfolio and interest paid on customers' deposits and other borrowings. The Bank's net income is also affected by the level of noninterest income, such as service charges on customers' deposit accounts, net gains or losses on the sale of loans and securities and other fees. In addition, net income is affected by the level of noninterest expense, which primarily consists of employee compensation expenses, occupancy expenses and other expenses. The financial condition and results of operations of the Bank and the thrift and banking industries as a whole are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by demand for and supply of credit, competition among lenders and the level of interest rates in the Bank's market area. The Bank's deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, as well as account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in the Bank's market area. Page 9 ASSET QUALITY The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. March 31 June 30, 2003 2002 ----------- ----------- Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis: (1) Real estate: One-to-four family residential............ $ 1,387,842 $ 1,176,095 Other mortgage loans...................... 2,470,793 3,838 Consumer loans............................. 276,197 188,824 Commercial loans........................... 307,133 152,699 --------- --------- Total................................. $ 4,441,965 $ 1,521,456 ========= ========= Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Real estate: One-to-four family residential............ $ -- $ 109,209 Other mortgage loans...................... -- 251,333 Commercial loans........................... 293,092 -- Consumer loans............................. 16,355 35,953 --------- --------- Total................................. $ 309,447 $ 396,495 ========= ========= Total nonperforming loans............. $ 4,751,412 $ 1,917,951 ========= ========= Percentage of total loans.................... 4.23% 1.44% ==== ==== Other nonperforming assets(2)................ $ 922,087 $ 623,114 ========= ========= Loans modified in troubled debt restructurings $ 5,390,935 $ 4,678,247 ========= ========= <FN> ___________ (1) Designated nonaccrual loan payments received are applied first to contractual principal and interest income is recognized only when contractually current. (2) Other nonperforming assets includes foreclosed real estate. </FN> During the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total nonperforming loans increased $2.8 million due primarily to a $2.5 million increase in Other mortgage loans. Approximately $2.0 million of the increase in Other mortgage loans is four loans to one borrower secured by land. The borrower made payments on these loans on April 1, 2003, and Management believes these four land loans are well secured and does not expect any loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, gross interest income of approximately $96,200 and $31,500, respectively, would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the respective periods. Interest on such loans included in income during such respective periods amounted to approximately $10,500 and $2,000, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, gross interest income of approximately $288,600 and $94,500, respectively, would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the respective periods. Interest on such loans included in income during such respective periods amounted to approximately $129,000 and $37,100, respectively. Page 10 AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield of interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Average balances are derived from daily balances. The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the difference between the weighted average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or "interest rate spread," which savings institutions have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on interest-earning assets," which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate spread and by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on nontaxable securities has not been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis. The yield on available for sale securities is based on amortized cost. Loans on a nonaccrual basis are included in the computation of the average balance of loans receivable. Loan fees deferred and accreted into income are included in interest earned. Whenever interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company experienced a decrease in its consolidated loan portfolio from $124.2 million at June 30, 2002, to $104.5 million at March 31, 2003. Of the $19.6 million decrease, $8.3 million is due to the sale of loans in the Monticello branch sale. The remaining $11.3 million decrease in loans is attributed to slow loan demand combined with significant competition. During this same period, investments and mortgage-backed securities increased from $118.2 million at June 30, 2002, to $124.0 million at March 31, 2003. While investments and mortgage-backed securities increased $5.8 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2003, there were $32.8 million in paydowns offset with purchases of $38.3 million and a $0.3 million increase in the market value of the securities. The Bank continues to purchase securities to replace both loan prepayments and securities prepayments. The Bank's emphasis in purchasing securities has been mortgage-backed securities with short (2-4 years) average lives and very little extension risk (not more than 6 years estimated average life) if interest rates rise significantly. Deposits decreased from $165.0 million at June 30, 2002, to $153.3 million at March 31, 2003. While deposits decreased $11.7 million in the nine month period, $13.2 million in deposits were sold in the Monticello branch sale. Although the Bank's level of deposits has been sufficient to provide for adequate liquidity, the deposit market remains competitive. The outstanding balances of FHLB borrowings decreased from $82.3 million at June 30, 2002, to $69.9 million at March 31, 2003. Stockholders' equity amounted to $27.8 million at March 31, 2003, and $26.7 million at June 30, 2002. The changes in equity were primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income and net income for the period. At March 31, 2003, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements. Page 13 COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 Net Income. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $17,000 compared to net income of $481,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The changes resulted primarily from a decrease in net interest income of $496,000, a decrease in noninterest income of $16,000, an increase in the provision for loan and investment loss of $60,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $232,000, offset by an increase in the income tax benefit of $306,000. The increase in noninterest expense is related to a nonrecurring write down of excess land held for investment of $407,000 as discussed below. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $894,000 compared to net income of $1,020,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The changes resulted primarily from a decrease in net interest income of $577,000, an increase in the provision for loan and investment loss of $194,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $134,000, offset by an increase in noninterest income of $711,000 and a decrease in the income tax of $69,000. The specific reasons for the above changes on net income are discussed below. Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $3,348,000, or $1,110,000 less than interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The total average interest-earning assets decreased $32.0 million, and the yield decreased from 6.67% to 5.69%. The primary contributing factors to the decrease in interest income were a $528,000 and $252,000 decrease due to volume and rate decreases, respectively in loans, and a $287,000 decrease due to rate decreases on taxable investment and mortgage-backed securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, the average balance of loans receivable decreased $25.6 million, total loan interest income decreased $780,000 and the average yield on loans decreased 97 basis points. For the same comparative periods, the average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities receivable decreased $0.3 million, interest income decreased $291,000 and the average yield decreased 97 basis points. Further, the average balance of other interest-earning assets (primarily FHLB DDA's and FHLB stock) decreased $6.1 million, interest income decreased $39,000 and the average yield decreased 30 basis points. Interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $11,033,000, or $2,635,000 less than interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The total average interest-earning assets decreased $26.2 million, while the yield decreased from 6.80% to 6.09%. Of the $2,635,000 decrease in interest income, $1,402,000 and $547,000 was due to volume and rate decreases, respectively in loans, $565,000 was due to rate decreases on taxable investment and mortgage-backed securities, $71,000 was due to volume decreases on nontaxable investments and mortgage-backed securities, $16,000 was due to rate decreases on FHLB stock, $62,000 and $57,000 was due to volume and rate decreases, respectively on FHLB DDA, offset primarily by an $87,000 increase due to the volume of taxable investments and mortgage-backed securities. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2002, the average balance of loans receivable decreased $22.7 million, total loan interest income decreased $1,949,000 and the average yield on loans decreased 66 basis points. For the same comparative periods, the average balance of investments and mortgage-backed securities receivable increased $26,000, interest income decreased $548,000 and the average yield decreased 62 basis points. Further, the average balance of other interest-earning assets (primarily FHLB DDA's and FHLB stock) decreased $3.5 million, interest income decreased $138,000 and the average yield decreased 69 basis points. Interest Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $30.3 million, total interest expense decreased $614,000 and the average cost decreased 56 basis points. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $16.5 million, deposit interest expense decreased $413,000 and the average cost decreased 78 basis points. The average balance of FHLB advances decreased $13.9 million, FHLB interest expense decreased $201,000 and the average cost increased 3 basis points. Of the $614,000 decrease in interest expense, $156,000 was due to volume decreases in deposits, $257,000 was due to rate decreases on deposits, and $205,000 was due to volume decreases on FHLB advances offset by a $4,000 increase due to average rate increases on FHLB advances. Page 14 For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2002, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities decreased $24.5 million, total interest expense decreased $2,058,000 and the average cost decreased 74 basis points. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $13.5 million, deposit interest expense decreased $1,594,000 and the average cost decreased 112 basis points. The average balance of FHLB advances decreased $10.9 million, FHLB interest expense decreased $463,000 and the average cost increased 3 basis points. Of the $2,058,000 decrease in interest expense, $419,000 was due to volume decreases in deposits, $1,175,000 was due to rate decreases on deposits, and $484,000 was due to volume decreases on FHLB advances primarily offset by a $21,000 increase due to average rate increases on FHLB advances. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was $1.4 million, or $496,000 less than net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, was the result of a $193,000 decrease due to lower volumes and a $303,000 decrease due to lower net interest spreads. Net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was $4.7 million, or $577,000 less than net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, was the result of a $544,000 decrease due to lower volumes and a $33,000 decrease due to lower net interest spreads. Provision for Loan and Investment Losses. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Bank's management continued its review of the appropriateness of the amount of the allowance for loan and investment losses. Based on these reviews, management made a total of $120,000 and $413,000 in provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2003, respectively. The allowance for loan losses of $1.8 million at March 31, 2003, represented 1.63% of gross outstanding loans, which compares to 1.22% as of June 30, 2002. The provision was made in consideration of reviews of individual loans and the fact that nonperforming loans as of March 31, 2003, as a percent of total loans increased to 4.23% from 1.44% as of June 30, 2002. In addition, total classified assets as a percent of the Bank's tangible capital plus allowance for loan loss was 43.3% as of March 31, 2003, which compares to 31.0% as of June 30, 2002. As of March 31, 2003, the Bank had $10.7 million in assets classified substandard or doubtful as compared to $7.1 million as of June 30, 2002. Management evaluates the carrying value of the loan portfolio periodically and provisions are made, if necessary. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future provisions to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize changes to the allowance based upon their judgments and the information available to them at the time of their examination. There were no significant changes in loan terms during the period, nor were there significant changes in the estimation methodologies employed or assumptions utilized. Nonperforming loan and loss trends did not indicate a need to substantially modify loss experience factors during the period. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income is typically comprised primarily of gains on the sales of loans and service charges on deposit accounts. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $386,000 compared to approximately $402,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. As expected, service charge income on deposit accounts decreased due to the sale of the Monticello branch. However, part of this decrease was made up for by an increase in gains on the sales of loans held for sale. Noninterest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was approximately $1,917,000 compared to approximately $1,206,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. As expected, service charge income on deposit accounts decreased due to the sale of the Monticello branch. However, part of this decrease is made up for by an increase in other noninterest income that is primarily gains on the sales of loans held for sale. In addition, for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of its Monticello branch of approximately $743,000. Page 15 Noninterest Expense. The major components of noninterest expense are typically salaries and employee benefits paid to or on behalf of the Company's employees and directors, professional fees paid to consultants, attorneys, and accountants, occupancy expense for ownership and maintenance of the Company's buildings, furniture and equipment and data processing expenses. Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003, was $1.88 million compared to $1.65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Significant components of the increase in noninterest expense were a $55,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $55,000 decrease in net occupancy expense, a $21,000 decrease in communication, postage, printing and office supplies, a $18,000 decrease in advertising, a $22,000 decrease in professional fees, a $19,000 decrease in amortization of goodwill, offset by a $407,000 nonrecurring noninterest expense for the write down of land held for investment, a $4,000 increase in data processing, and a $10,000 increase in other expense. The $407,000 expense for the write down of land held for investment is land in Camden, Arkansas which previously was to be the site of a new home office facility. These two parcels were purchased in 1996 and 1999 and significant costs were necessary to make the land suitable to build upon. The Board of Directors recently decided that in the near future it would not be in the best interests of the Company to expend the resources necessary to build a new home office facility. Since the land will not be utilized in the near future, appraisals were obtained in March 2003, and the land was written down to fair market value. While the Company does not intend to build on this land in the near future, it currently does plan to utilize this land at some undetermined future date. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003 the Company stepped up its efforts to reduce noninterest expenses. All outside consultant contracts were reviewed and those that were not considered critical to the Company were cancelled for an estimated annual cost savings of $250,000. Over the past nine months, the Company has reduced its full time equivalent employee number by 10.5 through attrition (this number does not include the employees of the Monticello branch sold in July 2002) for an estimated annual cost savings of $175,000. Numerous other smaller cost saving decisions have been implemented and the Company expects to continue its efforts to reduce noninterest expenses. Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, was $5.30 million compared to $5.16 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2002. Significant components of the increase in noninterest expense were a $61,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a $134,000 decrease in net occupancy expense, a $47,000 decrease in communication, postage, printing and office supplies, an $83,000 decrease in advertising, a $56,000 decrease in amortization of goodwill, offset by a $467,000 write down in land held for investment, a $25,000 increase in data processing expense, and a $21,000 increase in other expenses. The additional fair value write down in land held for investment of $60,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 relates to land held in Benton, Arkansas. Income Taxes. The effective income tax rates for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were (92.04)% and 18.61%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the Company for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 0.94% and 7.02%, respectively. The variance in the effective rate from the expected statutory rate is due primarily to tax exempt interest. The negative effective tax rate disclosed above for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is a net tax benefit and increases net income. The net tax benefit is primarily due to tax-exempt income. The corresponding deferred tax asset totals approximately $1.9 million as of March 31, 2003, and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2002. The recoverability of this asset is entirely contingent upon the production of taxable income for income tax reporting purposes. Management anticipates that the Company will produce such income in the future based on management's current forecasts of earnings. SOURCES OF CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY The Company has no business other than that of the Bank and banking related activities. Bancshares' primary sources of liquidity are cash, dividends paid by the Bank and earnings on investments and loans. In addition, the Bank is subject to regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to Bancshares. Page 16 The Bank has historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy is dependent on several factors including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. Maintenance of adequate capital levels is integral to provide stability to the Bank. The Bank needs to maintain substantial levels of regulatory capital to give it maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in the market and economic conditions. The Bank's primary sources of funds are savings deposits, borrowed funds, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, interest payments and maturities of investment securities and earnings. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and interest payments on investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors. At March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002, the Company had designated all securities as available for sale. In addition to internal sources of funding, the Bank as a member of the FHLB, has substantial borrowing authority with the FHLB. The Bank's use of a particular source of funds is based on need, comparative total costs and availability. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had $5.5 million in commitments to originate loans (including unfunded portions of construction loans) and approximately $0.5 million in unused lines of credit. At the same date, the total amount of certificates of deposit which were scheduled to mature in one year or less was $83.8 million. Management anticipates that the Bank will have adequate resources to meet its current commitments through internal funding sources described above. Management is not aware of any current recommendations by its regulatory authorities, legislation, competition, trends in interest rate sensitivity, new accounting guidance or other material events and uncertainties that would have a material effect on the Bank's ability to meet its liquidity demands. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Bank's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do changes in the rate of inflation. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Bank's portfolio equity, see "MARKET RISK" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002. There has been no material change in the Company's asset and liability position since June 30, 2002. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 15 C. F. R. ss.240.13a-14(c)) as of a date within ninety days prior to the filing of this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Page 17 CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of evaluation. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ----------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company may be a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
