AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004 (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation and Significant Accounting Policies United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Newport Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Association"), in connection with the Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered capital stock savings bank. The Company had no assets or operations prior to the conversion. On January 1, 1998, the Association converted from a mutual savings association to a capital stock savings bank, changed its name to Newport Federal Bank ("Bank"), and was simultaneously acquired by its holding company, United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its three offices in Newport, Tennessee. The Bank's primary deposit products are interest-bearing savings accounts and certificates of deposit. The Bank's primary lending products are one-to-four family first mortgage loans. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and on the same basis as the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 5. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Diluted earnings per share reflect additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share have been computed based on the following: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended -------------------------- --------------------------- June 30, June 30, -------------------------- --------------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Average number of shares outstanding 1,185,175 1,225,764 1,190,112 1,228,071 Effect of dilutive options 0 963 0 11,931 ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Average number of shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share 1,185,175 1,226,727 1,190,112 1,240,002 =========== =========== ============ =========== Note 3 - Comprehensive Income The FASB has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. The objective of the statement is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Items included in comprehensive income include revenues, gains, and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are directly charged to equity. Examples include foreign currency translations, pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. The Company has included its comprehensive income in a separate financial statement as part of its consolidated financial statements. Note 4 - Stock Option Plan In January 1999, the Company's board of directors approved the Company's 1999 stock option plan, and in May 1999, the Company's shareholders ratified the plan. The plan reserved 209,299 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to the options to be granted. These shares will be either newly issued shares or shares purchased on the open market. The Company's board of directors has approved the issuance of stock options under the Plan to certain members of the board of directors and senior management. The options vest at a rate of 25% per year, expire in ten years, and provide for the purchase of stock at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company's stock on the date the option is granted. Holders of the options can also surrender the options and be paid cash for the difference between the exercise price and the stock's fair value on the date surrendered. The board of directors granted 202,676 options in 1999 and 6,623 options in 2001. During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, 12,819 options were surrendered at a total cost of $138,122 (27,408 shares for $276,292 in 2004). Stock options awarded and outstanding totaled 24,661 and 50,649 as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 10 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: Period Ended ------------------------ June 30, 2005 ------------------------ 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Dividend Yield 3.5% 3.5% Expected Life 7.5 years 8.5 years Expected Volatility 52.0% 52.0% Risk-Free Interest Rate 4.8% 4.8% A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan is presented below: Six Months Ended June 30, ----------------------------------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------------------- ------------------------ Weighted Weighted Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price ---------- ----------- --------- ----------- Outstanding at Beginning of Period 45,388 $ 8.60 102,057 $ 8.59 Granted 0 0 Exercised (7,911) (24,000) Surrendered (12,816) 8.60 (27,408) 8.60 Forfeited 0 0 ---------- --------- Outstanding at End of Period 24,661 $ 8.60 50,649 $ 8.59 ========== ========= Options Exercisable at Period-End 24,661 $ 8.60 48,993 $ 8.59 Weighted-Average Fair Value of Options Granted during the period n/a n/a Information pertaining to options outstanding at June 30, 2005 is as follows: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable -------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Weighted Average Weighted Weighted Remaining Average Average Range of Number Contractual Exercise Number Exercise Exercise Prices Outstanding Life Price Exercisable Price - ----------------- ------------- ------------ ----------- ------------ ---------- $8.00 - $9.00 24,661 3.6 years $ 8.60 24,661 $8.60 The Company has purchased 26,562 and 48,650 shares as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, of its common stock, which is being held in trusts for when the stock options are exercised. A contra-equity account has been established to reflect the costs of such shares held in trusts. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. 11 Note 5 - Improvement Plan for Main Office Facility The company is nearing completion of the construction a new main office facility with approximately 15,000 square feet.The projected completion date is August 2005. Note 6 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - --------------------------------------------- In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process and other board projects and in conjunction with other implementation issues. Management does not expect this statement to have any significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In May 2003, the financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity". This statement established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Management does not expect this statement to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - ------------------------------------------- In December 2003, the FASB issued revised Interpretation No. 46 (FIN46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This Interpretation clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," for certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties. This Interpretation requires variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which represents the enterprise that will absorb the majority of the variable interest entities' expected losses if they occur, receive a majority of the variable interest entities' residual returns if they occur, or both. This Interpretation is effective for the Bank in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2004. The Company does not presently have any related entities considered to be variable interest entities and this Standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer" ("SOP 03-3"). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows expected to be collected and an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 also prohibits "carrying over" or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SOP 03-3 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment - ------------------------------------------ In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 03-1, "Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment" ("Issue 03-1"). The Task Force reached a consensus on an other-than-temporary impairment model for debt and equity securities accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and cost method investments, and required certain additional financial statement disclosures. The implementation of the "Other-than-Temporary Impairment" component of this consensus has been postponed. The adoption of the guidance contained in this EITF consensus did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 12 Share-Based Payment - -------------------- In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends SFAS Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Generally, the approach to accounting for share-based payments in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, which means that pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for the Bank beginning January 1, 2006. The effect of this pronouncement on the Company's financial statements will depend on whether or not the Company grants more stock options in future periods. Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets - -------------------------------- In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - - an Amendment to APB opinion No. 29." This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe this Statement will have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Note 7 - Current Items in Process with the Securities and Exchange Commission As announced on April 14, 2005, United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc., the holding company for Newport Federal announced that the Company's Board of Directors has approved proceeding with a proposed going private transaction. The proposed transaction would reduce the number of stockholders of record from approximately 545 to approximately 96. Following the proposed transaction, the Company would continue operations as a privately held corporation that would not be required to file periodic public reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The terms of the proposed transaction are expected to provide that each stockholder of record of the Company beneficially owning fewer than 2,500 common shares will receive cash of $22.00 per share. The price established by the Board of Directors was supported by a fairness opinion provided by a qualified valuation firm. Each stockholder of record beneficially owning 2,500 or more common shares will continue to hold the same number of shares of the Company after the transaction and will not receive any cash for those shares. Beneficial ownership includes stock owned by a person's spouse and minor children, as well as stock directly owned. UTBI anticipates delivering the proxy to shareholders sometime in August. A preliminary proxy was filed with the SEC on June 24, 2005 and is available for review on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov). Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objective of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. The words "expect," "anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. General The principal business of United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary Newport Federal Bank ("we," "us," etc.) consists of accepting deposits from the general public through our main office and two branch offices and investing those funds in loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties located in our primary market area. We also maintain a portfolio of investment securities and originate a limited amount of commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. Our investment securities portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury notes and U.S. government agency securities, local municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities that are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) or Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). We also maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati common stock and FHLMC common stock. Our net income primarily depends on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investment securities and interest paid on customers' deposits and other borrowings. Our net income is also affected by noninterest income, such as service charges on customers' deposit accounts, loan service charges and other fees, and noninterest expense, primarily consisting of compensation expense, deposit insurance and other expenses incidental to our operations. Our operations and those of the thrift industry as a whole are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies. Our lending activities are influenced by demand for and supply of housing and competition among lenders and the level of interest rates in our market area. Our deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing instruments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in our market area. 13 The following is a discussion of our financial condition as of June 30, 2005. These comments should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this report. Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 Total assets decreased from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 by $4.4 million, or 3.6%, from $122.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $118.2 million at June 30, 2005. The decrease in assets was principally the result of a decrease in investment securities. Investment securities decreased by $7.1 million offset by an increase in loans receivable of $1.6 million and an increase in premises and equipment of $1.3 million. Investment securities were sold to fund the increase in loan demand, repay advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and fund a reduction in deposits. The reduction in deposits is primarily related to governmental and institutional deposits we had received last year. Loans receivable increased from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 as originations exceeded repayments for the period by approximately $1.6 million. The following table sets forth information about the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we had no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of gross loans other than as disclosed below.

Although we believe we use the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowances for losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. The following table sets forth information about our allowance for loan losses for the period indicated.

Allowances are established on a regular basis based on an assessment of risk in our assets taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination process, general economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by us. Allowances are provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value or net realizable value of the collateral. 15 During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company decreased its liabilities by $4.8 million, or 4.6%. Total deposits decreased $3.8 million or 3.7% from $100.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $97.1 million at June 30, 2005. During 2004, the Bank has accepted deposits totaling approximately $8.3 million from various governmental and institutional customers, some of which are outside of its traditional market area. The average term of these deposits is approximately six months. The Bank as of June 30, 2005, has retained $1.1 million of these deposits. In the event the Bank is not able to retain the remaining deposits, management has various sources of liquidity available including cash and amounts due from depository institutions and investment securities, which are available for sale. In addition, the Bank has borrowing authority from the Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $4.0 million. Our shareholders' equity increased $430,000 from $18.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $18.8 million at June 30, 2005. The Company's equity increased primarily due to net income of $992,000 and proceeds from stock options exercised of $68,000, and a decrease in unearned compensation related to the Company's ESOP of $180,000, offset by a decrease due to the cost of stock options surrendered of $95,000, dividends paid of $474,000 and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $173,000. The market value of UTBI's investment portfolio decreased due to changes in the current interest rate environment Discussion of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $515,000, which was an increase of $16,000 from the amount we earned during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were each $0.43 compared to $0.41 for the same period in 2004. Basic average shares outstanding for three months ended June 30, 2005 was 1,185,175 shares and 1,225,764 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Average dilutive potential shares outstanding were 0 and 963 respectively. Interest income increased $18,000, or 1.1%, from $1.69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $1.71 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income is a result of an increase in other interest income of $15,000 and an increase in interest income on loans of $9,000, offset by a decrease in interest income on investments of $6,000. Interest expense on deposits increased $146,000 from $391,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $537,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, due to the increase in deposit account interest rates. Our cost of funds increased from 1.54% at June 30, 2004, to 2.13% at June 30, 2005. Net interest income decreased $132,000, or 10.1%, between the periods as a result of the larger increase in interest expense compared to the increase in interest income. The Company's net interest margin narrowed to 4.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 4.70% for the comparable period of 2004. The narrowing of the net interest margin reflects the current rate environment and the fact that our cost of funds has increased. Noninterest income increased $497,000 from $133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $630,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to a $582,000 gain on the sale of our Intrieve Inc. stock, our third-party data processor, offset by a loss on the sale of mortgage back securities of $98,000. On April 4, 2005, Harland Financial Solutions ("Harland") announced that it was acquiring Intrieve, Inc. UTBI will continue its current third-party data processing arrangement with Harland. UTBI owned 4,000 shares of stock in Intrieve, Inc., which was carried at a cost of approximately $105,000. Noninterest expenses increased $275,000 from $718,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $993,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily 16 from increase compensation and benefits of $213,000, and an increase in other non-interest expense of $76,000. The increase compensation and benefits resulted primarily from the mark to market adjustment on the Directors Incentive Plan of $53,000 and a $128,000 increase to the directors deferred compensation liability. The directors have an option of deferring their fees and earning a market return on the balance. The return on both plans is based on the percentage increase or decrease in the market value of United Tennessee Bankshares stock for the period. The increase in the other non-interest expense category reflects the increase in legal, accounting and consulting fees associated with the April 14, 2005, announcement of United Tennessee Bankshares proposed going private transaction. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 34.8% and 28.1%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the period in 2004 was due to the surrender of stock options, which provide a tax benefit to the Company. Discussion of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $992,000, which was an increase of $101,000 from the amount we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2004. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were each $0.83 compared to $0.73 and $0.72 for the same period in 2004. Basic average shares outstanding for six months ended June 30, 2005 was 1,190,112 shares and 1,228,071 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Average dilutive potential shares outstanding were 0 and 11,931 respectively. Interest income increased $33,000, or 1.0%, from $3.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $3.41 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income is a result of an increase in other interest income of $17,000 and an increase in interest income on loans of $2,000 and an increase in interest income on investments of $14,000. Interest expense on deposits increased $247,000 from $767,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $1,014,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, due to the increase in deposit account interest rates. Our cost of funds increased from 1.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, to 2.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income decreased $220,000, or 8.4%, between the periods as a result of the larger increase in interest expense compared to the increase in interest income. The Company's net interest margin narrowed to 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to 4.79% for the comparable period of 2004. The narrowing of the net interest margin reflects the current rate environment and the fact that our cost of funds has increased. Noninterest income increased $497,000 from $263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $760,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to a $582,000 gain on the sale of our Intrieve, Inc. stock, our third-party data processor, offset by a loss on the sale of mortgage back securities of $98,000. On April 4, 2005, Harland Financial Solutions ("Harland") announced that it was acquiring Intrieve, Inc. UTBI will continue its current third-party data processing arrangement with Harland. UTBI owned 4,000 shares of stock in Intrieve, Inc., which was carried at a cost of approximately $105,000. Noninterest expenses increased $82,000 from $1.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $1.62 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily from an increase in other noninterest expense of $105,000, offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment of $42,000. The increase in the other non-interest expense category reflects the increase in legal, accounting and consulting fees associated with the April 14, 2005, announcement of United Tennessee Bankshares proposed going private transaction. 17 Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were 33.6% and 30.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the period in 2004 was due to the surrender of stock options, which provide a tax benefit to the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company does not currently have any business activities other than the operation of the Bank and does not have significant on-going funding commitments other than the payment of dividends to shareholders. To date, the Company has used the proceeds from its initial public offering and dividends from the Bank to meet its liquidity needs. The Bank is subject to various regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends to the Company. Our most liquid assets are cash and amounts due from depository institutions, which are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities and earnings. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and investment securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors. We do not solicit deposits outside of our market area through brokers or other financial institutions; however, we do accept deposits from various governmental and institutional investors outside our traditional market area from time to time. We have also designated all of our investment securities as available for sale in order to meet liquidity demands. In addition to internal sources of funding, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank we have substantial borrowing authority with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our use of a particular source of funds is based on need, comparative total costs and availability. We have historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on several factors, including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. We seek to maintain high levels of regulatory capital to give us maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in market and economic conditions. These levels of capital have been achieved through consistent earnings enhanced by low levels of noninterest expense and have been maintained at those high levels as a result of our policy of moderate growth generally confined to our market area. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we exceeded all current regulatory capital requirements and met the definition of a "well-capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Interest Rate Sensitivity The Bank's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. In recent years, the banking industry has experienced steady interest rates, which have likewise produced steady growth in net interest income as the bank has grown. The Bank will be affected by changes in levels of interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control, particularly to the extent that such factors affect the overall volume of its lending and deposit activities. A sudden increase in interest rates could have a negative impact on the bank's net income through a narrower interest margin and/or reduced lending volume. The bank's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO" committee) follows the Asset/Liability Management Policy approved by the board of directors. The ALCO committee meets at least quarterly or more often as considered necessary to discuss asset/liability management issues and make recommendations to the board of directors regarding prudent asset/liability management policies and procedures. Some of the issues the ALCO committee considers include: local and national economic forecasts; interest rate forecasts and spreads; mismatches between the maturities of the banks assets (loans, and investments) and liabilities (deposits); anticipated loan demands; and the liquidity position of the bank. 18 The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Item 3. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule13a-14(c)) as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and the Company's consolidated subsidiaries is made known to such officers by others within these entities, particularly during the period this quarterly report was prepared, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. 19 PART II.
