CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARDING LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This document, including information incorporated by reference, contains, and future filings by Community Financial Corporation on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and future oral and written statements by Community Financial Corporation and its management may contain, forward-looking statements about Community Financial Corporation which we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, including revenue creation, lending origination, operating efficiencies, loan sales, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, growth opportunities, interest rates, cost savings and funding advantages. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and management's views and assumptions regarding future events. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and investors must recognize that actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, Community Financial Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
 
Words such as may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. The important factors discussed below, as well as other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and factors identified in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and those presented elsewhere by our management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document. Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are:
 
·  
the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct our operations;
 
·  
general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality of our loans and other assets;
 
·  
the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;
 
·  
fluctuations in deposit flows, loan demand, and/or real estate values, which may adversely affect our business;
 
·  
the credit risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;
 
·  
results of examinations of Community Bank by its primary regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, including the possibility that the Office of Thrift Supervision may, among other things, require Community Bank to increase its allowance for loan losses;
 
·  
our ability to access cost-effective funding;
 
·  
financial market, monetary and interest rate fluctuations, particularly the relative relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates;
 
 
 
1
 
 
 
 
·  
the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of Community Financial Corporation and Community Bank, and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services;
 
·  
the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, accounting standards, banking, securities and insurance); legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in which we are engaged;
 
·  
our success in gaining regulatory approval of our products and services and branching locations, when required;
 
·  
the impact of technological changes;
 
·  
changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
 
·  
our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
 
We do not intend to update our forward-looking information and statements, whether written or oral, to reflect change.  All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
 
PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
General
 
Community Financial Corporation is a Virginia corporation, which owns Community Bank.  Community Bank was organized in 1928 as a Virginia-chartered building and loan association, converted to a federally-chartered savings and loan association in 1955 and to a federally-chartered savings bank in 1983.  In 1988, Community Bank converted to the stock form of organization through the sale and issuance of shares of our common stock.  References in this document to we, us, our, the Corporation, the Company and the Bank refer to Community Financial and/or Community Bank as the context requires.
 
Our principal asset is the outstanding stock of Community Bank, our wholly owned subsidiary. Our common stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “CFFC.”
 
Community Financial Corporation and Community Bank are subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, Department of the Treasury and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) System and our deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government and are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At March 31, 2010, we had $547.2 million in assets, deposits of $398.4 million and stockholders' equity of $49.0 million. Our primary business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and originating real estate loans and other types of investments through our offices located in Staunton, Waynesboro, Stuart Drafts, Raphine, Verona, Lexington, Harrisonburg, Buena Vista and Virginia Beach, Virginia.
 
Like all financial institutions our operations are materially affected by general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the policies of the various
 
 
2
 
 
 
regulatory authorities, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”). Our results of operations are largely dependent upon our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest we receive on our loan portfolio and our investment securities portfolio, and the interest we pay on our deposit accounts and borrowings.
 
Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past two years, with decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage and construction loans and resulted in significant write-downs of assets by many financial institutions. General downward economic trends, reduced availability of commercial credit, and increasing unemployment and under-employment have negatively impacted the credit performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in additional write-downs for many financial institutions.  Concerns over the stability of the financial markets and the economy also have resulted in decreased lending by many financial institutions to their customers and to each other.  This market turmoil and tightening of credit has led to increased delinquencies, lack of customer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction in general business activity.  Some financial institutions have experienced decreased access to deposits or borrowings.  The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the financial markets may adversely affect our business, results of operations and stock price.
 
Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure is more complex under these difficult market and economic conditions.  We expect to face increased regulation and government oversight as a result of these downward trends.  This increased government action may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.  We also may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently increased level, because financial institution failures resulting from the depressed market conditions have depleted and may continue to deplete the FDIC insurance fund and reduce the FDIC’s ratio of reserves to insured deposits.
 
We do not expect these difficult conditions to improve in the near future.  A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market and economic conditions on us, our customers and the other financial institutions in our market.  As a result, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.
 
As previously mentioned, we are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on a bank’s operations, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses and determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed.  Because our business is highly regulated, the laws and applicable regulations are subject to frequent change.  Any change in these regulations and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, new regulations or legislation or additional deposit insurance premiums could have a material impact on our operations.
 
In response to the financial crisis of 2008 and early 2009, Congress has taken actions that are intended to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in financial institutions, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has taken actions to increase insurance coverage on deposit accounts.  In addition, there have been proposals made by members of Congress and others that would reduce the amount delinquent borrowers are otherwise contractually obligated to pay under their mortgage loans and limit an institution’s ability to foreclose on mortgage collateral.
 
 
3
 
 
 
The potential exists for additional federal or state laws and regulations, or changes in policy, affecting lending and funding practices and liquidity standards.  Moreover, bank regulatory agencies have been active in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, and have issued many formal enforcement orders requiring capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements.  Bank regulatory agencies, such as the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, govern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors, and not for the protection or benefit of potential investors.  New laws and regulations may increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business, and otherwise affect our operations.  New laws and regulations also may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our loans and investments, the fees we can charge and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability.
 
Congress is currently considering significant financial reform legislation.  If new legislation is enacted, it could have a significant impact on the regulation and operations of financial institutions and their holding companies.  The legislation provides for the elimination of the Office of Thrift Supervision, our primary regulator, and could make Community Financial subject to regulatory capital requirements.  The legislation also would create a new consumer financial protection agency that would issue and enforce consumer protection initiatives governing financial products and services.  The details and impact of financial reform legislation cannot be determined until new legislation is enacted.  In addition, the regulations governing Community Financial and Community Bank may be amended from time to time.  Any legislative or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.
 
Our main office is located at 38 North Central Avenue, Staunton, Virginia 24401. Our telephone number is (540) 886-0796.  This annual report on Form 10-K, as well as other public information that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is also available on our website at www.cbnk.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
Our Operating Strategy
 
Our goal is to operate and grow a profitable community-oriented financial institution, and to maximize stockholder value by:
 
·  
retaining our community-oriented focus to meet the financial needs of the communities we serve;
 
·  
enhancing our focus on core deposits, including savings and checking accounts;
 
·  
maintaining a high level of asset quality.
 
·  
selectively emphasizing products and services to provide diversification of revenue sources and to capture our customer’s full relationship.  We intend to continue to expand our business by cross selling our loan and deposit products and services to our customers;
 
·  
growing and diversifying our loan portfolio by emphasizing the origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, construction loans, secured business loans and consumer loans;
 
·  
expanding our banking network by opening de novo branches and by selectively acquiring branch offices, although currently we do not have any specific expansion plans;
 
 
 
4
 
 
 
 
·  
controlling operating expenses while continuing to provide quality personal service to our customers; and
 
·  
utilizing borrowings as needed to fund growth and enhance profitability.
 
 
Market Area
 
Our primary market area includes Shenandoah, Rockingham, Page, Highland, Augusta, Albemarle, Bath, Rockbridge and Nelson Counties, and the Hampton Roads area in Virginia.  Our headquarters are located in Historic Downtown Staunton, Virginia in Augusta County.   We conduct our business through our headquarters and 10 branch offices located in Staunton (2), Waynesboro, Stuart Drafts, Raphine, Verona, Lexington, Harrisonburg, Buena Vista and Virginia Beach (2), Virginia.

The Virginia economy is expected to lose another 85,300 jobs in 2011 before stabilizing in 2012.  Employment is expected to fall 2.3 percent in 2011, and modestly increase by 1.1% and 2.1% in 2012 and 2013, respectively.  The current unemployment rate in Virginia is 7.2%.

Harrisonburg-Rockingham County has a population of approximately 120,467, and is the third largest county in Virginia.  Major employment sectors include services, manufacturing, trade, government, and construction.  The largest employers headquartered here are James Madison University, Rockingham Memorial Hospital, Pilgrim’s Pride Corp., R.R. Donnelly & Sons Co., and Merck & Co., Inc.

The Staunton-Waynesboro-Augusta County area has a population of approximately 115,000.  Major employment sectors include manufacturing, healthcare, retail trade, hospitality and educational services.  The largest employers headquartered here include Augusta Medical Center, McKee Foods Corporation, Hershey Chocolate of VA, Target Mid-Atlantic Distribution Center, Ply Gem and Hollister, Inc.

Lexington – Buena Vista-Rockbridge County area has a population of approximately 36,000.

The largest employers in the area include Northrop Grumman, Newport News, Sentara Healthcare, Virginia Beach City Public Schools, Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Riverside Health System.

Lending Activities
 
General.  We concentrate our lending activities on first mortgage conventional loans secured by residential properties, commercial and multi-family real estate with an emphasis on multi-family housing and, to a lesser extent, construction loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and one- to four-family residential properties, and commercial business loans. Additionally, we make consumer loans in order to increase the diversification and decrease the interest rate sensitivity of our loan portfolio, and
 
 
5
 
 
 
to increase interest income as these loans typically carry higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans. Substantially all of our loans are originated within our market area which includes Shenandoah, Rockingham, Page, Highland, Augusta, Albemarle, Bath, Rockbridge and Nelson Counties, and the Hampton Roads area in Virginia.  For the fiscal years 2004 through 2008, our residential loan portfolio as a percentage of our total loan portfolio steadily declined, while our commercial real estate, construction, commercial business and consumer lending portfolios increased.  During fiscal 2009 and 2010 residential, commercial real estate and construction loans increased, while our consumer lending portfolios declined in 2009 and increased in 2010. The change is primarily the result of economic factors nationally and in our market areas.  Additionally, the change in our loan portfolio has occurred due to customers’ preference for fixed rate mortgage loans in a historically low interest rate environment rather than adjustable rate mortgage loans.  As part of our asset liability management strategy, we have not originated fixed rate residential loans with terms of 15 years or more for our portfolio for approximately eight years.
 
Residential loan originations come primarily from walk-in customers, real estate brokers and builders. Commercial and multi-family real estate loan originations are obtained through broker referrals, direct solicitation of developers and continued business from customers. All completed loan applications are reviewed by our salaried loan officers. As part of the application process, information is obtained concerning the income, financial condition, employment and credit history of the applicant and any related business interests. If commercial or multi-family real estate is involved, information is also obtained concerning cash flow after debt service. The quality of loans is analyzed based on our experience and on guidelines with respect to credit underwriting as well as the guidelines issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and other purchasers of loans, depending on the type of loans involved. The one- to four-family, adjustable-rate mortgage loans originated by us, however, are not readily saleable in the secondary market because we do not typically require title insurance or written verifications of employment history and deposit relationships. All real estate is appraised by independent fee appraisers who have been pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
 
Our loan commitments are approved at different levels, depending on the size and type of the loan being sought. Our Board of Directors has authorized different loan limits for individual loan officers depending on the types of loans being approved.  Individual loan officer limits for one- to four-family real estate loans range from $100,000 to $300,000 and for commercial real estate loans range from $100,000 to $175,000.  One- to four-family real estate loans not exceeding $350,000 and commercial real estate loans not exceeding $225,000 may be approved by the President of the Bank.  One- to four-family real estate loans not exceeding $950,000 and commercial real estate loans not exceeding $875,000 may be approved by one member of senior management and two other officers.  Any loan not exceeding $1,000,000 may be approved by the Bank’s loan committee.  All mortgage loans in excess of $1,000,000 must be approved by the Board of Directors.  Individual loan officer limits for unsecured consumer and commercial business loans range from $10,000 to $50,000 and for secured consumer and commercial business loans range from $25,000 to $175,000. Consumer and commercial business loans up to $375,000 on a secured basis and $150,000 on an unsecured basis require the approval of one member of senior management and two other officers. Consumer and commercial business loans in excess of individual loan officer or collective senior management loan authority must be approved by a majority of our Loan Committee or Board of Directors.
 
 The aggregate amount of loans that the Bank is permitted to make to any one borrower, including related entities, and the aggregate amount that the Bank may invest in any one real estate project, with certain exceptions, is limited to the greater of 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus or $500,000. At March 31, 2010, the maximum amount which we could have loaned to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities or invested in any one project was approximately $8.0 million. At March 31, 2010, we had only 15 borrowers, or groups of related borrowers, with an aggregate outstanding loan balance at March 31, 2010, in excess of $3.0 million, with the largest being a $5.1 million relationship, consisting of eleven
 
 
6
 
 
 
loans secured by residential real estate, multi-family real estate and commercial real estate.  All but one of these borrowers in excess of $3.0 million is performing in accordance with their payment terms. We also had 17 other borrowers, or groups of related borrowers, with an aggregate outstanding loan balance at March 31, 2010 of between $2.0 million and $3.0 million, of which one borrower was not performing in accordance with its payment terms at March 31, 2010.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. We originate loans secured by one- to four-family residences, substantially all of which are located in our market areas. We evaluate both the borrower’s ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan. Although federal law permits us to make loans in amounts of up to 100% of the appraised value of the underlying real estate, we generally make one- to four-family residential real estate loans in amounts of 80% or less of the appraised value.  In certain instances, we will lend up to 90% of the appraised value of the underlying real estate and require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance in an amount sufficient to reduce our exposure to 80% or less.
 
In order to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates, in the past we originate only a limited amount of 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate, one-to four-family residential mortgage loans for our portfolio.  For the year ended March 31, 2010, 92.4% of all one-to four-family residential loans we originated had adjustable interest rates. At March 31, 2010, only $20.2 million, or 3.8%, of our total loans receivable, before net items, consisted of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans.
 
To compete with other lenders in our market area, we make one, three and five year adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans at interest rates which, for the initial period, may be below the index rate which would otherwise apply to these loans. Borrowers are qualified, however, at the fully indexed interest rate. Our one- to four-family residential ARM loans primarily have interest rates that adjust annually, based on a stated interest margin over the yields on one year U.S. Treasury Bills.  Although our one- to four-family ARM loans primarily adjust annually after the initial period, we currently offer residential ARM loans which adjust every three and five years generally in accordance with the rates based on a stated margin over the yields on the applicable U.S. Treasury Bills. At March 31, 2010 we had the following loans that adjust on an annual basis after the initial period, $39.5 million that adjust after three years, $139.2 million after five years, $3.7 million after seven years and $8.9 million after ten years. An additional $9.4 million loans adjust every five years.  We do not currently offer residential ARM loans with an initial adjust period greater than five years. Our ARM loans generally limit interest rate increases to 2% each rate adjustment period and have an established ceiling rate at the time the loans are made of up to 6% over the original interest rate.  At March 31, 2010, residential ARM loans totaled $124.8 million, representing 86.1% of our total residential real estate loans and 23.8% of our total loans

receivable, before net items. ARM loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans primarily because during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of defaults on ARM loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to borrowers.
 
All one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans originated by us contain a “due-on-sale” clause that allows us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the mortgaged property. It is our policy to enforce these due-on-sale clauses concerning fixed-rated loans and to permit assumptions of ARM loans, for a fee, by qualified borrowers.
 
We require, in connection with the origination of residential real estate loans, title opinions and fire and casualty insurance coverage, as well as flood insurance where appropriate, to protect our interests. The cost of this insurance coverage is paid by the borrower. We generally do not require escrows for taxes and insurance.
 
Commercial Real Estate and Construction Lending. We have originated and, in the past have purchased, commercial real estate loans and loan participations. We also make commercial and residential real estate construction loans. Our commercial real estate loans are secured by various types of collateral, including raw land, multi-family residential buildings, hotels and motels, convenience stores, commercial and industrial buildings, shopping centers and churches. At March 31, 2010, commercial real estate and construction loans aggregated $235.6 million or 44.9% of our total loans receivable, before net items, with $194.7 million of these loans having adjustable interest rates and $40.9 million having fixed interest rates. Our commercial real estate and construction loans are secured primarily by properties located in our market areas.
 
Our commercial real estate loans are generally made at interest rates that adjust annually based on yields for one-year U.S. Treasury securities, with a 2% annual cap on rate adjustments and a 6% cap on interest rates over the life of the loan. Typically, we charge origination fees ranging from 1% to 2% on these loans. Commercial real estate loans made by us are fully amortizing with maturities ranging from five to 30 years.  Our construction loans are generally for a term of 12 months or less with interest only due monthly. Construction loans are generally made with permanent financing to be provided by us, although not required. Construction loans to builders may be made on a basis where a buyer has contracted to buy the house or the construction may be on a speculative basis. Limits are set by us as to the number of each type of construction loan for each builder, whether speculative or pre-sold, dependent on the determination made by us during the underwriting process.
 
In our underwriting of commercial real estate and construction loans, we may lend, under federal regulations, up to 100% of the security property’s appraised value, although the loan to original appraised value ratio on such properties is generally 80% or less. Our commercial real estate and construction loan underwriting  requires an examination of debt service coverage ratios, the borrower’s creditworthiness and prior credit history and reputation, and we generally require personal guarantees or endorsements of borrowers. We also carefully consider the location of the security property.
 
At March 31, 2010, we had commercial real estate loans totaling $171.8 million, including 93 commercial real estate loans (or multiple loans to one borrower) in excess of $1.0 million with an aggregate balance of  $77.9 million.  The largest loan or lending relationship to a single borrower was for $5.1 million, which consisted of eleven loans secured by residential real estate, multi-family real estate and an office building.

Commercial construction loans are 19 loans that range from $425,000 to $2.9 million. The loans are made for various types of construction projects with the largest being a multi-family residence project. At March 31, 2010, one commercial construction loan totaling $10,000 was past due.
 
The largest portion of our commercial real estate portfolio consists of loans secured by raw land.  The Company originates loans to local real estate developers with whom it has established relationships for the purpose of developing residential subdivisions (i.e., installing roads, sewers, water and other utilities), as well as loans to individuals to purchase building lots.  Land development loans are secured by a lien on the property and made for a period usually not to exceed twelve months with an interest rate that adjusts with the prime rate, and are made with loan-to-value ratios not exceeding 80%. Monthly interest payments are required during the term of the loan. Subdivision loans are structured so that we are repaid in full upon the sale by the borrower of approximately 90% of the subdivision lots. All of our land loans are secured by property located in our primary market area.  We also generally obtain personal guarantees from financially capable parties based on a review of personal financial statements.  Loans secured by commercial and industrial buildings increased from $40.2 million at March 31, 2009 to $43.0 million at March 31, 2010.
 
Loans secured by undeveloped land or improved lots involve greater risks than one- to four- family residential mortgage loans because these loans are advanced upon the predicted future value of the developed property. If the estimate of the future value proves to be inaccurate, in the event of default and foreclosure, the Company may be confronted with a property the value of which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Loans on raw land may run the risk of adverse zoning changes, environmental or other restrictions on future use.  At March 31, 2010, we had $4.7 million of non-performing raw land loans.
 
We also make construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences as well as to builders and developers for the construction of non-residential properties, one- to four-family residences and the development of one- to four-family lots in Virginia. These construction loans are

generally for a term of 12 months or less with interest only due monthly. Construction loans are generally made with permanent financing to be provided by us, although not required. Construction loans to builders may be made on a basis where a buyer has contracted to buy the house or the construction may be on a speculative basis. Limits are set by us as to the number of each type of construction loan for each builder, whether speculative or pre-sold, dependent on the determination made by us during the underwriting process.  At March 31, 2010, we had $42.1 million or 8.0% of our total loans receivable, before net items, in 157 residential construction loans, the largest of which was $1.0 million, compared to $47.1 million or 9.9% at March 31, 2009.  Residential construction loans totaled approximately 66.0% of the total construction loan portfolio.
 
At March 31, 2010, we had 19 commercial construction loans totaling $21.7 million, the largest one having an outstanding balance of $1.9 million. One commercial construction loan totaling $10,000 is presently past due. Our commercial construction loans are generally made for a one year term or less, with a requirement that the borrower have a commitment for permanent financing prior to funding the construction loan. Our construction loans generally provide for a fixed rate of interest at the prevailing prime rate or slightly above. Such loans are generally secured by the personal guarantees of the borrowers and by first mortgages on the projects.
 
Commercial real estate and construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one- to four-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on real estate developers and managers. Our risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s sale value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost of the project. If the estimated cost of construction or development proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Because we usually provide loans to a developer for the entire estimated cost of the project, defaults in repayment generally do not occur during the construction period and it is therefore difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage. When loan payments become due, borrowers may experience cash flow from the project which is not adequate to service total debt. This cash flow shortage can result in the failure to make loan payments. In such cases, we may be compelled to modify the terms of the loan. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor.
 
Consumer Lending. We offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including new and used automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and deposit account, installment and demand loans.  We also offer unsecured loans.  We originate our consumer loans primarily in our market areas.  At March 31, 2010, our consumer loans totaled $91.4 million or 17.4% of our total loans receivable, before net items. With the exception of $38.4 million of home equity lines of credit loans at March 31, 2010, our consumer loans primarily have fixed interest rates and generally have terms ranging from 90 days to five years.
 
The largest component of our consumer loans is home equity loans. At March 31, 2010, our home equity loans totaled $48.1 million and comprised 9.1% of our total loan portfolio, before net items, including $38.4 million of home equity lines of credit.  Home equity loans may be originated in amounts, together with the amount of the existing first mortgage, of up to 90% of the value of the property securing the loan. The amount of the line of credit also may not exceed 90% of the value of the property securing the loan.  Home equity lines of credit are originated with an adjustable rate of interest, based on the prime rate of interest, or with a fixed rate of interest.  Home equity lines of credit have a 20 year term and amounts may be re-borrowed after payment at any time during the life of the loan.  At March 31, 2010, unfunded commitments on these lines of credit totaled $14.0 million.

 We originate automobile loans on a direct and indirect basis.  Automobile loans totaled $35.5 million at March 31, 2010, or 6.8% of our total loan portfolio, before net items, with $7.1 million in direct loans and $28.4 million in indirect loans.  Our automobile loan portfolio decreased from $37.4 million at March 31, 2009 to $35.5 million at March 31, 2010, or 6.8%.  The decrease in automobile loans is attributable to a slower economic environment and competitive interest rates.  The bulk of our indirect lending comes from relationships with approximately 40 car dealerships under an arrangement providing a premium for the amount over our interest rate to the referring dealer, with approximately half of these loans originated through four dealerships located in our market area.  Indirect lending is highly competitive; however, our ability to provide same day funding makes our product competitive.  Automobile loans may be written for a term of up to six years and have fixed rates of interest.  Loan-to-value ratios are up to 110% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price for new direct auto loans and 125% of the manufacturer's invoice for new indirect auto loans.  For used car loans we use the same loan-to-value ratios based on National Automobile Dealers Association ("NADA") retail value for direct loans and NADA trade-in value for indirect loans.
 
The automobile loans are generally evenly divided between new and used vehicles. The automobile loans are primarily without recourse to the dealer, but the Bank may require either full or partial recourse to the dealer under certain circumstances. If the customer’s credit history or the loan to value of the vehicle warrants, the Bank may require full or partial recourse to the dealer.
 
We follow our internal underwriting guidelines in evaluating direct automobile loans, including credit scoring.  Indirect automobile loans are underwritten by a third party on our behalf, using substantially similar guidelines to our internal guidelines.  However, because these loans are originated through a third party and not directly by us, they present greater risks than other types of lending activities.  At March 31, 2010, we had $246,000 in non-performing automobile loans, which included $91,000 in indirect automobile loans.
 
During fiscal 2009, we evaluated the benefits of the increased yields on our credit card portfolio with the higher risk and operating costs related to maintaining and servicing an unsecured credit card portfolio. We believed that offering a credit card product was important to our existing customer base and for obtaining new customers. As a result of this evaluation, we entered into an agent-bank relationship with an unaffiliated non-bank pursuant to which our customers can obtain credit cards with the Community Bank brand and for which we earn commissions for new accounts and a percentage of interchange fees, but for which we incur no liability or credit risk. At the same time, we sold our existing credit card portfolio to that unaffiliated organization. During the September 30, 2008 quarter, we sold our credit card portfolio with an approximate loan balance of $500,000 which resulted in a gain of $37,000.
 
The underwriting standards employed by us for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.
 
Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured, such as credit card receivables, or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles.  In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections
 
 
13
 
 
 
are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.  Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loan such as us, and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses which it has against the seller of the underlying collateral. We add general provisions to our loan loss allowance, in amounts determined in accordance with industry standards, at the time the loans are originated. Consumer loan delinquencies often increase over time as the loans age. The level of non-performing assets in our consumer loan portfolio increased from $928,000 at March 31, 2009 to $2,296,000 at March 31, 2010. There can be no assurance that delinquencies will not continue to increase in the future.
 
Commercial Business Lending. At March 31, 2010, our commercial business loans totaled $53.4 million, or 10.2%, of our total loans receivable, before net items. We offer commercial business loans to service existing customers, to consolidate our banking relationships with these customers, and to further our asset/liability management goals.  Our commercial business lending activities encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including but are not limited to business automobiles, equipment and accounts receivable.  We recognize the generally increased credit risk associated with commercial business lending. Our commercial business lending practice emphasizes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower’s character, management capabilities, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral. An analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of our credit analysis.
 
Unlike residential mortgage loans which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be dependent upon the success of the business itself. Our commercial business loans almost always include personal guarantees and are usually, but not always, secured by business assets.  However, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
 
Loan Originations
 
Federal regulations authorize us to make real estate loans anywhere in the United States. At March 31, 2010, substantially all of our real estate loans were secured by real estate located in our market area.
 
We originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans.  Our ability to originate loans, however, is dependent upon customer demand for loans in our market areas.  Demand is affected by competition and the interest rate environment.
 
Loans purchased must conform to our underwriting guidelines. We have not purchased any loans during the last six fiscal years or sold any loans during the last five fiscal years.  Management believes that purchases of loans and loan participations are generally desirable only when local mortgage demand is less than the supply of funds available for local mortgage origination.
 
During the past few years, we, like many other financial institutions, have experienced significant prepayments on loans due to the low interest rate environment prevailing in the United States.  In periods of economic uncertainty, the ability of financial institutions, including us, to originate or purchase large
 
 
14
 
 
 
dollar volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in interest income.
 
The following table shows our loan origination and repayment activities for the periods indicated.  We did not purchase or sell any loans during the reported periods

Asset Quality
 
Delinquent Loans.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, we attempt to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower, generally within 15 days of the loan becoming delinquent. A notice is mailed to the borrower after a payment is 15 days past due and again when the loan is 30 days past due. For most loans, if the delinquency is not cured within 30 days we issue a notice of intent to foreclose on the property and if the delinquency is not cured within 60 days, we may institute foreclosure action. If foreclosed on, real property is sold at a public sale and may be purchased by us.
 
The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent mortgage and other loans at March 31, 2010. The amounts presented represent the total remaining principal balances of the related loans, rather than the actual payment amounts which are overdue.

Non-Performing Assets.  The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio. Non-performing assets include non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments and real estate acquired through foreclosure, which include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Typically, a loan becomes nonaccruing when it is 90 days delinquent. All consumer loans more than 120 days delinquent are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Accruing mortgage loans delinquent more than 90 days are loans that we consider to be well secured and in the process of collection. For the years presented, we have no accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent.

Non-performing assets at March 31, 2010 were comprised primarily of non-accruing loans, real estate owned and repossessed automobiles. Based on current market values of the properties securing these loans, management anticipates no significant losses in excess of the reserves for losses previously recorded. Our largest non-accruing loan relationship at March 31, 2010 totaled $3.2 million and is located in the Charlottesville, Virginia area and is primarily a land and land development loan. The next largest non-accruing loan relationship was $641,000 secured by residential real estate.
 
Nonaccrual loans amounted to $14.6 million at March 31, 2010.  If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $668,000 for the year ended March 31, 2010, none of which is included in interest income.

Other Loans Of Concern.  In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of March 31, 2010, we had approximately $2.8 million of loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. Although management believes that these loans are adequately secured and no material loss is expected, certain circumstances may cause the borrower to be unable to comply with the present loan repayment terms at some future date. These loans have been considered in management's determination of our allowance for loan losses.
 
In addition to these other loans of concern, we have $15.3 million in additional loans which we monitor. These loans are generally performing substantially in accordance with the loan terms but exhibit characteristics such as insufficient cash flow or occasional delinquencies which we monitor for deterioration. Of the $15.3 million, $10.3 million is comprised of residential real estate and consumer loans and $5.0 million commercial real estate and business loans.
 
Classified Assets.  Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss."  An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, "highly questionable and improbable."  Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
 
When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management.  General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets.  When an insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount.  An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
 
We regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  On the basis of management’s review of our assets, at March 31, 2010, we had classified $20.7 million of our assets as substandard, none as doubtful and none as loss. The $20.7 million in classified loans is comprised primarily of residential and commercial real estate loans
 
Allowance for Losses on Loans and Real Estate.  We provide valuation allowances for anticipated losses on loans and real estate when management determines that a significant decline in the value of the collateral has occurred, as a result of which the value of the collateral is less than the amount of the unpaid principal of the related loan plus estimated costs of acquisition and sale. In addition, we also provide allowances based on the dollar amount and type of collateral securing our loans in order to protect against unanticipated losses. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to allowances may be necessary, and
 
 
17
 
 
 
net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” in Item 7 of this report and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this report.

Investment Activities
 
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, including callable agency securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds.  Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.  See "Regulation - Qualified Thrift Lender Test" below for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities.
 
The senior vice president/chief financial officer has the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio, subject to the direction and guidance of the asset/liability management committee.  The senior vice president/chief financial officer considers various factors when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment.  The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the trend of new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases.
 
The general objectives of our investment portfolio are to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.  See also "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset and Liability Management" in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.

During fiscal 2010, the market rates paid on investment securities decreased.  During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we made limited investment securities purchases due to the minimal spread between short and long term rates during most of these reporting periods.
 
During fiscal 2009, due to the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in September, 2008 and the related restrictions on its outstanding preferred stock (including the elimination of dividends), the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment (OTTI) non-cash charge with respect to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock it owns of $11,536,000. One of the preferred stock issues is the Freddie Mac preferred series L with a par value of $50 per share. The dividend rate of this issue resets every five years based on the five year treasury rate. The next dividend reset date for this security is December 31, 2010. The Company sold 185,000 shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock during fiscal year 2010 and has 57,000 shares remaining.
 
Sources of Funds
 
General.  Deposits have traditionally been the principal source of our funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, we derive funds from loan repayments, cash flows generated from operations, which includes interest credited to our deposit accounts, repurchase agreements entered into with commercial banks and FHLB of Atlanta advances.
 
 
21
 
 
 
Contractual loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and the related cost of such funds have varied widely. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels and may be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending activities.
 
Deposits.  We attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by offering a wide assortment of accounts and rates. We have been required by market conditions to rely on short-term accounts and other deposit alternatives that are more responsive to market interest rates than fixed interest rate, fixed-term certificates that were our primary source of deposits in the past. We offer regular savings accounts, checking accounts, various money market accounts, fixed-rate long-term certificates with varying maturities, $100,000 or more jumbo certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. During fiscal 2010, we utilized brokered deposits due to their lower relative costs. At March 31, 2010, we had total brokered deposits of $22.5 million.

The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and has allowed us to respond with flexibility (by paying rates of interest more closely approximating market rates of interest) to, although not eliminate the threat of, disintermediation (the flow of funds away from depository institutions such as thrift institutions into direct investment vehicles such as government and corporate securities). In addition, we have become much more subject to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. Our ability to attract and maintain deposits, and our cost of funds, has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by money market conditions.

  During fiscal 2008, the increase in deposits was related primarily to customers’ preference for relatively higher rate short-term time deposits in a declining rate environment. During fiscal 2009, the change in deposits was related primarily to the utilization of brokered deposits. We also experienced an increase in interest-bearing checking accounts due to our continued emphasis on increasing these relationships. During fiscal 2010, the change in deposits was related primarily to the utilization of brokered deposits and our continued emphasis on increasing transaction accounts. We remained competitive on deposit rates, in particular on time deposits. We may use borrowings from time to time as an alternative source of funds. See “ Borrowings.”

Borrowings
 
We generally utilize borrowings to supplement deposits when they are available at a lower overall cost to us or they can be invested at a positive rate of return.  Our borrowings generally consist of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta.  Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB of Atlanta may prescribe the acceptable uses to which these advances may be put, as well as limitations on the size of the advances and repayment provisions.
 
Our borrowings, from time to time, also include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, with mortgage-backed securities or other securities pledged as collateral.  At March 31, 2010, we had $846,000 of securities sold under agreements to repurchase which adjust with the federal funds rate. For additional information on our borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, see Notes 6 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report.

Subsidiary Activities
 
There are no significant subsidiary activities.

Competition
 
Community faces strong competition both in originating real estate loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other thrift institutions, commercial banks and mortgage bankers who also make loans secured by real estate located in our market area. We compete for real estate loans principally on the basis of our interest rates and loan fees, the types of loans and the quality of services provided to borrowers.
 
We face substantial competition in attracting deposits from other thrift institutions, commercial banks, money market and mutual funds, credit unions and other investment vehicles. Our ability to attract and retain deposits depends on our ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements of investors as to rate of return, liquidity, risk and other factors. We compete for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates and convenient business hours.
 
We consider our primary markets for deposits to be Augusta County and Hampton Roads and for mortgage loans to be Augusta and Rockingham Counties and the Hampton Roads area.  We estimate that our market share of savings deposits in Augusta County is approximately 15% and our share of mortgage loans in Augusta and Rockingham Counties is less than 10%. The opening of an office by the Bank in April, 1997 in Virginia Beach, Virginia expanded the Bank’s market area to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
 
Regulation
 
General.  Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations that are applicable to Community Financial and Community Bank.  The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.
 
Legislative or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.  No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form any such changes may occur.  Under pending legislative proposals, significant changes to the regulation of Community Financial and Community Bank could occur.  These changes include eliminating the Office of Thrift Supervision, making the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency the primary federal banking regulator of Community Bank, making the Federal Reserve Board the primarily federal banking regulator of Community Financial, imposing capital requirements on Community Financial and numerous others.
 
 
25
 
 
 
The Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive enforcement authority over all savings associations and their holding companies, including Community Financial and Community Bank.  This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions.  In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision.  Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision is required by law.
 
Federal Regulation of Savings Associations.  Community Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, is subject to regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of its operations.  This regulation of Community Bank is intended for the protection of depositors and the insurance of accounts fund and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.  Community Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on the payment of dividends to Community Financial.  See “- Regulatory Capital Requirements” and “- Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions.”  Community Bank also is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures the deposits of Community Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 
We are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision.  During these examinations, the examiners may require Community Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves, which can impact our capital and earnings.  As a federal savings bank, Community Bank is subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon its total assets, to fund the operations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
 
The Office of Thrift Supervision has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits.  Any institution regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision that fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.
 
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions.  It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the fund.  The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the OTS an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
 
Community Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is administered by the FDIC.  Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC, backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.  Under new legislation, during the period from October 3, 2008 through December 31, 2013, the basic deposit insurance limit is $250,000, instead of the $100,000 limit in effect earlier.

The FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on each FDIC-insured institution quarterly based on annualized rates for four risk categories applied to its deposits subject to certain adjustments. Each institution is assigned to one of four risk categories based on its capital, supervisory ratings and other factors. Well capitalized institutions that are financially sound with only a few minor weaknesses are assigned to Risk Category I. Risk Categories II, III and IV present progressively greater risks to the DIF. Under FDIC’s current risk-based assessment rules, the initial base assessment rates prior to adjustments
 
 
26
 
 
 
range from 12 to 16 basis points for Risk Category I, 22 basis points for Risk Category II, 32 basis points for Risk Category III, and 45 basis points for Risk Category IV.  Initial base assessment rates are subject to adjustments based on an institution’s unsecured debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits, and other adjustments if an institution’s assets are $10.0 billion or more, such that the total base assessment rates after adjustments range from 7 to 24 basis points for Risk Category I, 17 to 43 basis points for Risk Category II, 27 to 58 basis points for Risk Category III, and 40 to 77.5 basis points for Risk Category IV.  Rates increase uniformly by three basis points effective January 1, 2011.

In addition to the regular quarterly assessments, due to losses and projected losses attributed to failed institutions, the FDIC adopted a rule imposing a special assessment of 5 basis points on the amount of each depository institution’s assets reduced by the amount of its Tier 1 capital (not to exceed 10 basis points of its assessment base for regular quarterly premiums) as of June 30, 2009, collected on September 30, 2009.  The special assessment rule also permitted the FDIC to impose two additional special assessments, each of the same amount or less, based on assets, capital and deposits as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, to be collected, respectively, on December 31, 2009 and March 30, 2010.  The FDIC imposed the first of the additional special assessments but did not impose the second assessment.

In December, 2009 the FDIC collected from insured institutions the premium for the third quarter of 2009 and a prepaid premium for all calendar quarters through the fourth quarter of 2012. The prepaid premium for Community Bank was $2.3 million and was calculated on the September 30, 2009 deposit balance. The calculation assumes a 5% deposit growth rate and the three basis point increase effective January 1, 2011. The amount paid will be adjusted for actual deposit growth.

In April 2010, the FDIC issued a proposed rule modifying the way assessments are determined. Under the proposed rule, for most institutions, initial base assessment rates would be 10 to 14 basis points for Risk Category I, 22 basis points for Risk Category II, 34 basis points for Risk Category III, and 50 basis points for Risk Category IV.  After adjustments based on unsecured long-term debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits for all Risk Categories, the total base assessment rates would be 5 to 21 basis points for Risk Category I, 17 to 43 basis points for Risk Category II, 29 to 61 basis points for Risk Category III, and 45 to 85 basis points for Risk Category IV.  However, for large institutions (those with $10 billion or more of total assets for four consecutive quarters), the Risk Categories would not apply and new scorecard methods would be employed, under which the initial base assessment rates would be 10 to 50 basis points and, after certain adjustments based on unsecured long-term debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits, total base assessment rates would be 5 to 85 basis points. Rates for all institutions would increase by 3 basis points effective January 1, 2011.

The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments and its authority could be affected by pending legislation. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. There can be no prediction as to what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.  Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OTS.  We are not aware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of the Bank’s deposit insurance.

In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. This payment is established quarterly and during the four quarters ending March 31, 2010 averaged 1.04 basis points of assessable deposits.
 
 
27
 

 
 Transactions with Affiliates.  Transactions between Community Bank and its affiliates generally are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates, and certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of Community Bank's capital.  In addition, Community Bank may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates.  Community Financial is an affiliate of Community Bank.
 
Regulatory Capital Requirements.  To be considered well capitalized, an institution must have a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets of at least 5.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, and a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0% and not be subject to any agreement, order or directive of the OTS to meet and maintain any specific capital measure.  Tier 1 capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity, retained earnings and certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, plus certain intangibles.  At March 31, 2010, Community Bank had no intangibles in Tier 1 capital.
 
Total capital consists of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.  Tier 2 capital generally consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do no qualify as Tier 1 capital and up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets in allowance for loan and lease losses.  The amount of Tier 2 capital includable in total capital may not exceed the amount of Tier 1 capital. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning a risk weight ranging from 0% to 100% to all assets and certain off-balance sheet items.
 
To be adequately capitalized, an institution must have a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjust assets of at least 4.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.0% and a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%.  At March 31, 2010, Community Bank was well capitalized.  The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to require federal savings banks on a case-by-case basis to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk, level of interest rate risk, equity investments in non-financial companies and the risk of non-traditional activities.
 
The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized, and under certain circumstances required, to take certain actions against savings banks that are not at least adequately capitalized.  Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions.  Additional restrictions may apply, including a forced merger, acquisition, or liquidation of the institution.  The Office of Thrift Supervision generally is authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.  The imposition by the Office of Thrift Supervision of any of these measures on Community Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on our operations and profitability.  Regulatory capital is discussed further in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report.
 
Any institution that meets the requirement to be “adequately capitalized” and not the requirements to be “well capitalized” may not accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits without a waiver from the FDIC.  An institution that does not meet the requirements to be “adequately capitalized” may not accept, renew or rollover brokered deposits. Brokered deposits include deposits solicited by the institution or its employees if the interest rates on such deposits exceed certain thresholds.
 
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions.  Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose various restrictions on the ability of Community Bank to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.  Community Bank must file a notice or application with the Office of Thrift Supervision before making any capital distribution.  Community Bank generally may make capital
 
 
28
 
 
 
distributions during any calendar year in an amount up to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years, so long as it is well-capitalized after the distribution.  If, however, Community Bank proposes to make a capital distribution when it does not meet (or will not meet following the proposed capital distribution) the requirements to be adequately capitalized or to make a distribution that will exceed these net income limitations, it must obtain Office of Thrift Supervision approval prior to making such distribution.  The Office of Thrift Supervision may object to any distribution based on safety and soundness concerns.
 
Community Financial is not subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.  Dividends from Community Financial, however, may depend, in part, upon its receipt of dividends from Community Bank. Issuance of preferred stock under the TARP and CPP restricts the Company from increasing its dividend distribution to stockholders without approval from the OTS.
 
Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  All savings associations, including Community Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets (as defined by statute) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings association may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At March 31, 2010, Community Bank met the test and has always met the test since its effective date.
 
Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a national bank, unless it re-qualifies as a qualified thrift lender and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender.  If an institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company (unless the institution re-qualifies in timely fashion after first failing the test), then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies. See"-Holding Company Regulation."
 
Community Reinvestment Act.  Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC- insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with the examination of Community Bank, to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Community Bank. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Community Bank was examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance in May, 2008 and received a rating of “Satisfactory”.
 
Holding Company Regulation.  Community Financial is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision. As such, we are required to register and file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over us and our non-savings association subsidiaries, which also permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association.
 
 
29
 
 
 
As a unitary savings and loan holding company that acquired Community Bank before May 4, 1999, we generally are not subject to activity restrictions. If we acquire control of one or more additional savings associations as a separate subsidiary, our activities and those of any of our subsidiaries (other than Community Bank or any other insured savings association) would become subject to such restrictions unless such other associations each qualify as a QTL and were acquired in supervisory acquisitions.
 
Federal Securities Laws.  The stock of Community Financial is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Community Financial is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The SEC and the NASDAQ have adopted regulations and policies under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that apply to Community Financial as a registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a NASDAQ-traded company.  The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws.  The SEC and NASDAQ Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional disclosure requirements and corporate governance rules.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.
 
Captial Purchase Program.  On December 19, 2008, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) of the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), the Company entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold to Treasury 12,643 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share, for a purchase price of $12.6 million in cash and (ii) issued to Treasury a ten-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 351,194 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $5.40 per share.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock qualified as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends on the liquidation preference amount on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter.  Subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation preference amount plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

The enactment of ARRA on February 17, 2009 permits the Company to repay the Treasury without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.  Additionally, upon repayment the Treasury will liquidate all outstanding warrants at their current market value.

The Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant were issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Company subsequently registered the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant under the Securities Act.

Federal and State Taxation
 
Federal Taxation.  Savings associations such as Community Bank that meet certain definitional tests relating to the composition of assets and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, had been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto which could, within specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction for “non-qualifying loans” was computed under the experience method. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction is now actual net charge-offs. As a result, the Bank must recapture as taxable income that portion of the reserve that exceeds the amount that could have been taken under the experience method for post- 1987 tax years. At March 31, 2010, Community Bank’s had no excess reserves to be recaptured.
 
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings associations such as Community Bank, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation’s regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation’s regular income tax and net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.
 
To the extent earnings appropriated to a savings association’s bad debt reserves for “qualifying real property loans” and deducted for federal income tax purposes exceed the allowable amount of such reserves computed under the experience method and to the extent of the association’s supplemental reserves for losses on loans (“Excess”), such Excess may not, without adverse tax consequences, be utilized for the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a shareholder (including distributions on redemption, dissolution or liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to absorb bad debt losses).
 
Community Financial and Community Bank file consolidated federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis. Savings associations, such as the Community Bank, that file federal income tax returns as part of a consolidated group are required by applicable Treasury regulations to reduce their taxable income for purposes of computing the percentage bad debt deduction for losses attributable to activities of the non-savings association members of the consolidated group that are functionally related to the activities of the savings association member.
 
Our federal income tax returns and our consolidated subsidiary for the last three years are open to possible audit by the Internal Revenue Service. In the opinion of management, any examination of still open returns (including returns of subsidiaries and predecessors of, or entities merged into, Community Bank) would not result in a deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Community Financial and our consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Virginia Taxation.  We conduct our business in Virginia and consequently are subject to the Virginia corporate income tax. The Commonwealth of Virginia imposes a corporate income tax on a basis similar to federal income tax at a rate of 6% on Virginia taxable income.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Executive Overview
 
Community Financial Corporation is a Virginia corporation. Certain of the information presented herein relates to Community Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Community Financial.  Community Financial and Community Bank, like all thrift institutions and their holding companies, are subject to comprehensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
The following information is intended to provide investors a better understanding of our financial position and the operating results of Community Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, Community Bank. This discussion is primarily from management’s perspective and may not contain all information that is of importance to the reader. Accordingly, the information should be considered in the context of the consolidated financial statements and other related information contained herein.
 
Our net income is primarily dependent on the difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans and investments and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings, as well as the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows.  Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings with short and medium term maturities, mature or reprice more rapidly, or on a different basis, than interest earning assets, primarily loans with longer term maturities than deposits and borrowings. While having liabilities that mature or reprice more frequently on average than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates, such an asset/liability structure may result in lower net income or net losses during periods of rising interest rates, unless offset by other noninterest income. Our net income is also affected by, among other things, fee income, asset quality, provision for loan losses, operating expenses and income taxes.
 
The primary factor contributing to our increase in net income for the fiscal year was the securities impairment related to our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock in the 2009 fiscal year that did not recur in the 2010 fiscal year. Additionally, we experienced a 23.9% increase in our net interest income for the current fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year.
 
The primary factors contributing to the increase in net interest income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was an increase in the interest rate spread and the growth in interest-earning assets, primarily loans. The increased interest rate spread is primarily attributable to a reduction in the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities due to aggressive rate reductions by the Federal Reserve during the prior fiscal year. The aggressive rate reductions in the prior fiscal year resulted in a timing difference in the repricing of assets and liabilities. We will monitor the impact a change in interest rates may have on both the growth in interest-earning assets and our interest rate spread. The pace and extent of future interest rate changes will impact our loan growth and interest rate spread, as well as interest rate adjustments on certain adjustable rate loans that are subject to caps.
 
 
37
 
 
 
Utilization of brokered deposits and management’s emphasis on increasing low and no interest bearing transaction accounts has impacted the composition of our interest-bearing liabilities. Deposits were the primary source of funding during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. We acquired lower cost brokered deposits and low interest bearing transaction accounts during the fiscal year to fund the growth in our loans.  While we have the capacity to continue to utilize borrowings to meet funding needs, management recognizes the practical long-term limitations of such a funding strategy. Management is also cognizant of the potential for compression in our net interest margin related to the need to acquire funds and the pace of interest rate changes. Management will continue to monitor the level of deposits and borrowings in relation to the current interest rate environment.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
General.  Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial information contained within our financial statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market, and the loan balance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb future loan losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, existing and anticipated economic conditions, and other factors which deserve current recognition in estimating future loan losses.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  Additions to the allowance are charged to operations.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Loans are charged-off partially or wholly at the time management determines collectibility is not probable.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is subject to evaluation and adjustment by our regulators.
 
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers special mention and non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

The Corporation uses real estate appraisal, future cash flows or other appropriate methods to determine the value of impaired loans. With the use of these methods, the Corporation provides valuation allowances for anticipated losses when management determines that a decline in the value of the collateral or expected cash flows has occurred. Updated appraisals are obtained periodically and in those instances where management has reason to believe a material change may have occurred in the fair value of the collateral. Evaluation of impairment requires judgment and estimates, management uses all relevant and timely information available to determine specific reserves on impaired loans, including appraisals and cash flow analysis.  Loans are partially or completely charged off in the period when they are deemed uncollectible in accordance with ASC 310-35.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement. These loans were included in the allowance calculation as pools of loans in the general component with allocations based on historic charge-offs and qualitative factor adjustments deemed appropriate by management for these types of loans and their nonaccrual status.

Asset/Liability Management  
 
Management believes it is important to manage the relationship between interest rates and the effect on our net portfolio value.  This approach calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off-balance sheet contracts. Management of our assets and liabilities is done within the context of the marketplace, but also within limits established by the board of directors on the amount of change in net portfolio value which is acceptable given certain interest rate changes.
 
Presented in the following table, as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, is an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by changes in net portfolio value for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve and compared to our board policy limits.  Information is presented in accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and based on its assumptions.  The Board limits have been established with consideration of the dollar impact of various rate changes and our strong capital position. The Board limit has been established as a minimum percentage of the Company’s net portfolio value. Our net portfolio values at March 31, 2010 were within the parameters set by the Board of Directors.  As illustrated in the table, net portfolio value is not significantly impacted by rising or falling rates as of the date indicated.

Generally, management strives to maintain a neutral position regarding interest rate risk.  In the current interest rate environment, our customers are interested in obtaining long-term credit products and short-term savings products.  Management has taken action to counter this trend.  A significant effort has been made to reduce the duration and average life of our interest-earning assets. As of March 31, 2010,
 
 
39
 
 
 
approximately 76.4% of our gross loan portfolio consisted of loans which reprice during the life of the loan. We emphasize adjustable-rate mortgage loans and have increased our portfolio of short-term consumer loans.  Applications are taken and processed for customers seeking longer term fixed-rate mortgage loans, 15 to 30 years, with the loan being closed and retained by other organizations.
 
On the deposit side, management has worked to reduce the impact of interest rate changes by emphasizing non-interest bearing or low interest deposit products and maintaining competitive pricing on longer term certificates of deposit.  We have also used Federal Home Loan Bank advances to provide funding for loan originations and to provide liquidity as needed.
 
In managing our asset/liability mix, depending on the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, we may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing our net interest income than on strictly matching the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. We believe the increased net income that may result from an acceptable mismatch in the actual maturity or repricing of our asset and liability portfolio can provide sufficient returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates which may result from such a mismatch. We have established limits, which may change from time to time, on the level of acceptable interest rate risk. There can be no assurance, however, that in the event of an adverse change in interest rates, our efforts to limit interest rate risk will be successful.
 
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the information in the table above.  Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.  We consider all of these factors in monitoring our exposure to interest rate risk.

Rate/Volume Analysis
 
 The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have affected our interest income and expense during the periods indicated.  For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii) total changes in rate and volume.  The combined effect of changes in both volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Financial Condition  
 
Total assets increased $34.5 million, or 6.7%, to $547.2 million at March 31, 2010, primarily as a result of an increase in loans of $25.2 million. The increase in assets was funded by a $32.9 million, or 9.0%, increase in deposits. The increase in deposits is reflected primarily in increased transaction accounts of $16.5 million, money market accounts of $13.2 million and brokered time deposits of $12.3 million. Management believes the increase in transaction and money market deposits is primarily attributable to an increased emphasis on customer relationships, service and pricing. Management attributes the increase in loans receivable primarily to excellent customer service and competitive pricing on both mortgage and consumer loans.
 
The Hampton Roads region of the Bank experienced loan growth of $2.3 million, primarily commercial real estate loans, for the fiscal year ended 2010. The Shenandoah Valley region of the Bank had loan growth of approximately $23.0 million, primarily commercial real estate loans, secured lines of credit and home equity loans.
 
Asset quality is an important factor in the successful operation of a financial institution.  The loss of interest income and principal that may result from non-performing assets has an adverse effect on
 
 
42
 
 
 
earnings, while the resolution of those assets requires the use of capital and managerial resources.  At March 31, 2010, non-performing assets, consisting of non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate and repossessed automobiles, totaled $17.7 million, or 3.24% of total assets, compared to $9.0 million or 1.75% of total assets at March 31, 2009.   Non-performing assets at March 31, 2010 were comprised primarily of raw land, residential real estate loans 90 days or more and real estate owned.  Based on current market values of the collateral securing these loans, management anticipates no significant losses in excess of the reserves for losses previously recorded.  Due to an uncertain real estate market and the economy in general, no assurances can be given that our level of non-performing assets will not increase in the future.
 
Stockholders' equity increased $2.7 million, or 5.8%, to $49.0 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $46.3 million at March 31, 2009. The increase was the result of earnings for the year ended March 31, 2010 offset by cash dividend payments on preferred stock.
 
Results of Operations  
 
Our results of operations depend primarily on the level of our net interest income and noninterest income and the level of our operating expenses.  Net interest income depends upon the value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.
 
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
 
General.  Net income for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $3.6 million or $0.65 diluted earnings per common share compared to $(5.8) million or $(1.39) diluted earnings per common share for the year ended March 31, 2009. Net income increased due primarily to the securities impairment related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock in the March 31, 2009 fiscal year and an increase in net interest income for the March 31, 2010 fiscal year.
 
Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased $494,000, or 1.7%, to $28.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $28.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in total interest income can be attributed to a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets offset by an increase in the average dollar volume of interest-earning assets, primarily $25.3 million in loans receivable. Average yields on total interest-earning assets decreased 0.41% from 6.00% in fiscal 2009 to 5.59% for the current fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in loans yields in a decreasing rate environment.
 
Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $4.4 million, or 35.1%, to $8.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2010 from $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in total interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities offset by an increase in the average dollar volume in deposits of $26.9 million. The cost of funds decreased 1.08% from 2.75% for the year ended March 31, 2009 to 1.67% for the current year. The increase in deposit balances was due primarily to increases in transaction accounts for the current fiscal year.
 
Provision for Loan Losses.  We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level required to reflect credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group data, prevailing economic conditions, and current factors. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions and other relevant data.  Larger non-homogeneous
 
 
43
 
 
 
loans, such as commercial loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific loss allocations are provided for these loans when necessary.
 
In the current economic environment, management has considered the potential impact of subprime lending in certain areas of the national economy. These circumstances do not appear to have significantly impacted economic conditions in our market areas which to date remain stable. We have experienced increases in delinquency and charge-off rates but at levels generally less than our industry during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. We have maintained experienced and stable lending personnel during that period.
 
Based on management’s evaluation of these factors, the provision for loan losses decreased $254,000, or 5.9%, to $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 from $4.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The loan loss allowance for specific impaired loans is dependent primarily on the value of the collateral relative to the outstanding loan balance. We monitor our loan loss allowance on a quarterly basis and make allocations as necessary.  Management believes that the level of our loan loss allowance is adequate. As of March 31, 2010, the total allowance for loan losses amounted to $8.1 million.  At March 31, 2010, our allowance as a percentage of total loans receivable was 1.58% and as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 55.29%.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $427,000, or 12.5%, to $3.9 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $3.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2008. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to secondary mortgage loan fees. The increase in Other income is due to the sale of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock which was Other Than Temporarily Impaired in the previous fiscal year.

The increase in compensation expenses is related to merit pay increases and additional loan personnel. The increase in other expenses is primarily due to the increase in nonperforming assets and related collection expenses.
 
Taxes.  Total taxes increased $5.1 million to $1.3 million during the year ended March 31, 2010 from $(3.8) million during fiscal 2009. The effective tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2010 was 27.3%. Income taxes for the March 31, 2010 fiscal year includes a historic tax credit of $483,000.
 
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
 
General.  Net loss for the year ended March 31, 2009 was $(5.8) million or $(1.39) diluted earnings per common share compared to $3.8 million income or $0.87 diluted earnings per common share for the year ended March 31, 2008. Net income decreased due primarily to securities impairment related to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock and an increase in our provision for loan losses.

Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased $3.6 million, or 11.0%, to $28.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $32.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in total interest income can be attributed to a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets offset by an increase in the average dollar volume of interest-earning assets, primarily $40.0 million in loans receivable. Average yields on total interest-earning assets decreased 1.03% from 7.03% in fiscal 2008 to 6.00% for the current fiscal year due primarily to an decrease in loans yields in a decreasing rate environment.
 
Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $4.5 million, or 26.6%, to $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2009 from $17.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in total interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities offset by an increase in the average dollar volume in deposits of $18.0 million. The cost of funds decreased 1.14% from 3.89% for the year ended March 31, 2008 to 2.75% for the current year. The increase in deposit balances was due primarily to increases in time deposits for the current fiscal year.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. We experienced moderate increases in delinquency and charge-off rates but at levels generally less than our industry during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. We maintained experienced and stable lending personnel during that period. We also evaluated our risk in certain lending areas and reduced our exposure in automobile lending by $7.6 million.
 
Based on management’s evaluation of these factors, the provision for loan losses increased $3.7 million, or 586.0%, to $4.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 from $625,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in the provision for fiscal 2009 was due to an increase in the rate of loan growth and reserves for non-performing assets. We monitor our loan loss allowance on a quarterly basis and make allocations as necessary.  Management believes that the level of our loan loss allowance is adequate. As of March 31, 2009, the total allowance for loan losses amounted to $6.0 million.  At March 31, 2009, our allowance as a percentage of total loans receivable was 1.25% and as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 78.7%.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $80,000, or 2.4%, to $3.4 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $3.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to overdraft fees.

Our dominant source of funds during the year ended March 31, 2010 was from deposits which increased by $32.9 million. Our cash increased $2.9 million from $2.5 million at March 31, 2009 to $5.4 million at March 31, 2010.
 
At March 31, 2010, we had commitments to purchase or originate $5.2 million of loans.   Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2009 totaled $225.9 million. Based on our historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us.  Management further believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet our foreseeable short- and long-term liquidity needs.
 
At March 31, 2010, we had tangible and core capital of 8.90% of adjusted total assets, which was in excess of their respective requirements of 1.5% and 4.0%.   We also had risk-based capital of 11.25% of risk weighted assets, which also exceeded its requirement of 8.0%. The Bank was considered “well capitalized” as of March 31, 2010. Regulatory capital is discussed further in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report.
 
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2010, we have not participated in any unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as structured finance or special entities. We do have significant commitments to fund loans in the ordinary course of business. Such commitments and resulting off-balance sheet risk are further discussed in Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this report.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices  
 
The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time because of inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary

in nature.  As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or the same magnitude as the price of goods and services.  In the current interest-rate environment, equity, maturity structure and quality of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Community Financial Corporation
Staunton, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Community Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Community Financial Corporation and Subsidiary’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010 included in Management’s Annual Report on the Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank (the "Bank").  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Nature of Business and Regulatory Environment
 
The Bank is a federally chartered savings association and the primary asset of the Corporation.  The Corporation provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers primarily in the Shenandoah Valley and Hampton Roads regions of Virginia through its wholly-owned subsidiary.
 
The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") is the primary regulator for federally chartered savings associations, as well as well as savings and loan holding companies.
 
The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The FDIC has specific authority to prescribe and enforce such regulations and issue such orders as it deems necessary to prevent actions or practices by savings associations that pose a serious threat to the DIF.
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was effective January 1, 1993.  FDICIA contained provisions which allow regulators to impose prompt corrective action on undercapitalized institutions in accordance with a categorized capital-based system.
 
Estimates
 
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of real estate owned, and the fair value of financial instruments.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold.
 
Securities
 
Securities may be classified as either trading, held to maturity or available for sale.  Trading securities are held principally for resale and recorded at their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included immediately in operations.  Held to maturity securities are those which the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost.  Available for sale securities consist of

Summary of Accounting Policies
 
 

 
Securities (continued)
 
securities not classified as trading securities nor as held to maturity securities.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from operations and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.  Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
 
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Impairment of securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost.  For debt securities, impairment is considered other-than-temporary and recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) the Corporation intends to sell the security or (ii) it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If, however, the Corporation does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-than-likely that the Corporation will be required to sell the security before recovery, management must determine what portion of the impairment is attributable to a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security.  If there is no credit loss, there is no other-than-temporary impairment.  If there is a credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment exists, and the credit loss must be recognized in net income and the remaining  portion of impairment must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
 
For equity securities, impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary based on the Corporation's ability and intent to hold the investment until a recovery of the fair value.  Other-than-temporary impairment of an equity security results in a write-down that must be included in income.
 
Loans Receivable
 
Loans receivable consists primarily of long-term real estate loans secured by first deeds of trust on single family residences, other residential property, commercial property and land located primarily in the state of Virginia.  Interest income on mortgage loans is recorded when earned and is recognized based on the level yield method.  The Corporation provides an allowance for accrued interest deemed to be uncollectible, which is netted against accrued interest receivable in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
The Corporation defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, and the net deferred fees are amortized into interest income over the lives of the related loans as yield adjustments.  Any unamortized net fees on loans fully repaid or sold are recognized as income in the year of repayment or sale.
 
Corporation becomes aware that the borrower has entered bankruptcy proceedings, or in situations in which the loans have developed inherent problems prior to being 90 days delinquent that indicate payments of principal or interest will not be made in full.  Whenever the accrual of interest is stopped, previously accrued but uncollected interest income is reversed.  Thereafter, interest is recognized only as cash is received until the loan is reinstated to accrual status.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb future loan losses currently inherent in the loan portfolio.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, existing and anticipated economic conditions, and other factors which deserve current recognition in estimating future loan losses.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  Additions to the allowance are charged to operations.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  Loans are charged-off partially or wholly at the time management determines collectibility is not probable.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is subject to evaluation and adjustment by the Corporation's regulators.
 
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The general component covers non-classified and special mention loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
The Corporation uses real estate appraisal, future cash flows or other appropriate methods to determine the value of impaired loans. With the use of these methods, the Corporation provides valuation allowances for anticipated losses when management determines that a decline in the value of the collateral or expected cash flows has occurred.  Updated appraisals are obtained periodically and in those instances where management has reason to believe a material change may have occurred in the fair value of the collateral.  Evaluation of impairment requires judgment and estimates, management uses all relevant and timely information available to determine specific reserves on impaired loans, including appraisals and cash flow analysis.  Loans are partially or completely charged off in the period when they are deemed uncollectible in accordance with ASC 310-35.
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.  These loans were included in the allowance calculation as pools of loans in the general component with allocations based on historic charge-offs and qualitative factor adjustments deemed appropriate by management for these types of loans and their nonaccrual status.

Summary of Accounting Policies
 
 

 
Real Estate Owned
 
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of fair value, less selling costs, or the balance of the loan on the property at the date of foreclosure.  Costs relating to the development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to expense.
 
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net realizable value.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Land is carried at cost.  Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Provisions for depreciation are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets.  Expenditures for betterments and major renewals are capitalized and ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Estimated useful lives are three to ten years for furniture and equipment and five to fifty years for buildings and improvements.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.
 
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.
 
Stock-Based Compensation Plan
 
The Corporation recognizes the costs resulting from all share-based payments in the financial statements.  Share-based compensation is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model for determining fair value.  The cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and pension liability adjustments, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income are components of comprehensive income.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 5.  Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to U.S. GAAP (FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).  This guidance establishes FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  FASB ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.  All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in FASB ASC has become nonauthoritative.  FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs), which will serve to update FASB ASC, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to FASB ASC.  FASB ASC is not intended to change U.S. GAAP or any requirements of the SEC.

The Corporation adopted new guidance impacting FASB Topic 805: Business Combinations (“Topic 805”) on January 1, 2009. This guidance requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; requires expensing of most transaction and restructuring costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 805. This guidance addresses application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This guidance was effective for business combinations entered into on or after January 1, 2009. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 715-20: Compensation Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General. The objectives of this guidance are to provide users of the financial statements with more detailed information related to the major categories of plan assets, the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets and the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period, as well as how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies. The disclosures about plan assets required by this guidance are included in Note 12 of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”). This provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and  level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly and requires additional disclosures of valuation inputs and

techniques in interim periods and defines the major security types that are required to be disclosed. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 320-10: Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. This guidance amends GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with earlier adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Corporation did not have any cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of this guidance.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting FASB Topic 855: Subsequent Events. This provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued. This guidance is generally consistent with current accounting practice. In addition, it requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance was effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall). This guidance is intended to reduce ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. This guidance was effective for the first reporting period after issuance and had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting Topic 820. This creates a practical expedient to measure the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. This guidance also requires certain additional disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-01 (ASU 2010-01), “Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2010-01 clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend.  ASU 2010-01 is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied on a retrospective basis.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-02 (ASU 2010-02), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification.” ASU 2010-02 amends Subtopic 810-10 to address implementation issues related to changes in ownership provisions including clarifying the scope of the decrease in ownership and additional disclosures.  ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the period that an entity adopts Statement 160.  If an entity has previously adopted Statement 160, ASU 2010-02 is effective beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009 and should be applied retrospectively to the first period Statement 160 was adopted.   The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140”, was adopted into Codification in December 2009 through the issuance of ASU 2009-16. The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  The Corporation adopted the new guidance in 2010 with no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the variable interest entities.  The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” was adopted into Codification in December 2009. The objective of the guidance is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of January 1, 2010. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-15 (ASU 2009-15), “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.” ASU 2009-15 amends Subtopic 470-20 to expand accounting and reporting guidance for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. ASU 2009-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2009-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, Accounting for Various Topics – Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing SEC guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residential method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-08, “Technical Corrections to Various Topics.” ASU 2010-08 clarifies guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging. ASU 2010-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.”  ASU 2010-09 addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855 with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provisions related to subsequent events.  An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

1.    Securities (continued)
United States government and agency obligations.  The unrealized loss on the one investment in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies was caused by interest rate increases.  The contractual terms of this investment does not permit the issuer to settle at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investment.  Because the Corporation does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010.

During the year ended March 31, 2009 due to the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in September 2008 and the related restrictions on its outstanding preferred stock (including the elimination of dividends), the Corporation recorded an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge with respect to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock it owned of $11.5 million. The OTTI charge was based on the closing quoted stock market values on March 31, 2009. The Corporation used guidance in ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, to determine the OTTI.

The Corporation's investment in FHLB stock totaled $6,183,600 at March 31, 2010.   FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions.  Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  Despite the FHLB's temporary suspension of repurchases of excess capital stock in 2009, we do not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010 and no impairment has been recognized.  FHLB stock is shown in restricted investments on the balance sheet and is not part of the AFS securities portfolio.

Impaired loans with a valuation allowance totaled $11,209,986 and $9,792,151 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The valuation allowance related to these impaired loans was $3,878,534 and $1,873,646 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Impaired loans without a valuation allowance totaled $3,713,249 and $28,771 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The average investment in impaired loans for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 totaled $13,392,119, $2,784,423 and $871,220, respectively.  No interest income was recognized on these loans.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.  There were no loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.  At March 31, 2010, the Corporation had $3,458,156 of mortgage loans and $255,093 of consumer loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings and impaired.
 
Nonaccrual loans excluded from impaired loan disclosure amounted to $7,487,929, $3,050,662 and $1,026,298 at March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $668,028, $222,629 and $44,880 for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

5.   Fair Value Measurements
 
The Corporation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Corporation's various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date  under current market conditions.  If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.  In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment.  The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with this guidance, the Corporation groups financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value.

 
Level 1  –
Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
 
 
Level 2  –
Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

5.   Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 
Level 3  –
Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.
 
The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:
 
Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considers observable market data (Level 2).

The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
 
Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan,  the fair value of the collateral or discounted cash flow analyses.  Fair value is

5.   Fair Value Measurements (continued)
 
Impaired Loans (continued): typically measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate  or  business  assets  including  equipment,  inventory,  and  accounts  receivable.  The  vast  majority  of  the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Corporation using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).  Loans valued using discounted cash flow analyses are considered Level 3.  Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Real Estate Owned: Foreclosed assets and repossessions are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets and repossessions.  Subsequently, foreclosed assets and repossessions are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset or repossession as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

Accounting guidance excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation.
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
For those short-term investments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Securities
 
Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

5.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
 
Loans receivable
 
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
 
Deposit liabilities
 
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowings
 
For advances that mature within one year of the balance sheet date, carrying value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The fair values of all other advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Corporation's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of advances.
 
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
 
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as short-term borrowings and the carrying value approximates fair value.
 
Accrued interest
 
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

(continued)
 

 
5.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
 
Off-balance sheet instruments
 
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of standby letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed immaterial.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings are summarized as follows:
 
 Due in year ending March 31,
       
         
2011
  $ 96,250,000  
 
 
The weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 0.90% and 1.00% at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The fixed-rate FHLB advances are collateralized by the investment in FHLB stock and the Corporation's portfolio of first mortgage loans, multi-family, commercial real estate, second mortgage and home equity lines of credit under a Blanket Floating Lien Agreement.  Value of this collateral as of March 31, 2010 was $135,864,031.
 
Information related to borrowing activity of the borrowings is as follows:

    0.92 %     2.02 %     4.75 %
 
During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Corporation became non-compliant on a line of credit of $5 million due to being less than “well capitalized” related to the OTTI charge on its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock. The Corporation has entered into a Waiver and Loan Modification agreement with the lender to waive the previous non-compliance violations and has agreed to quarterly principal payments of $125,000.  The term of the loan has been extended to October 30, 2010.  The balance remaining to be paid on this line of credit was $250,000 at March 31, 2010.  The Company also regained “well capitalized” status subsequent to the OTTI charge and was in compliance with all loan covenants at March 31, 2010.

8.   Income Taxes (continued)
 
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Corporation was unable to recognize the deferred tax benefit related to the OTTI charge on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  Tax laws in effect at September 30, 2008 characterized the loss as a capital loss.  The Company did not have sufficient capital gain income to offset the loss and therefore set up a valuation allowance related to the capital loss.  Subsequent to the September 30, 2008 quarter, the U.S. Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act which re-characterized the OTTI loss on the Company’s Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock to ordinary from capital for tax purposes. The tax benefit related to this loss of $11.5 million based on the Company’s approximate income tax rate of 38% was $4.4 million.  Therefore the Company recognized the deferred tax asset during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the period of enactment, as required by ASC 740.  The Company also determined that it had sufficient taxable income available in carryback years and probable future taxable income to fully recognize the deferred tax asset.  The deferred tax asset related to the OTTI loss was $1.1 million and $4.4 million at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Corporation sold and therefore realized losses for tax purposes on a portion of the preferred stock.
 
The provision (benefit) for income taxes charged to operations for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, consists of the following:

10.   Stockholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital Requirements
 
Savings institutions must maintain specific capital standards that are no less stringent than the capital standards applicable to national banks.  The OTS regulations currently have three capital standards including (i) a tangible capital requirement, (ii) a core capital requirement, and (iii) a risk-based capital requirement.  The tangible capital standard requires savings institutions to maintain tangible capital of not less than 1.5% of adjusted total assets.  The core capital standard requires a savings institution to maintain core capital of not less than 4.0% of adjusted total assets.  The risk-based capital standard requires risk-based capital of not less than 8.0% of risk-weighted assets.

The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend, or repurchase any of its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause the net worth of the Bank to be reduced below certain requirements imposed by federal regulations.
 
Capital distributions by OTS-regulated savings banks are limited by regulation ("Capital Distribution Regulation").  Capital distributions are defined to include, in part, dividends, stock repurchases and cash-out mergers.  The Capital Distribution Regulation permits a "Tier 1" savings bank to make capital distributions during a calendar year equal to net income for the current year plus the previous two years net income, less capital distributions paid over that same time period.  Any distributions in excess of that amount require prior OTS notice, with the opportunity for OTS to object to the distribution.  A Tier 1 savings bank is defined as a savings bank that has, on a pro forma basis after the proposed distribution, capital equal to or greater than the OTS fully phased-in capital requirement and has not been deemed by the OTS to be "in need of more than normal supervision".  The Bank is currently classified as a Tier 1 institution for these purposes.  The Capital Distribution Regulation requires that savings banks provide the applicable OTS District Director with a 30-day advance written notice of all proposed capital distributions whether or not advance approval is required by the regulation.

12.   Employee Benefit Plans
 
Pension Plan

The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees.  The benefits are based on years of service and final average compensation.  The Corporation's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the pension trust at least equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), but not in excess of the maximum tax deductible amount.  Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future.  Prepaid pension cost includes any contributions made after the measurement date but prior to the fiscal year end.  The following is a summary of information with respect to the plan:

Long-Term Rate of Return

The plan sponsor, in consultation with management, selects the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption in consultation with their investment advisors.  The rate is intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested to provide plan benefits.  Historical performance is reviewed with respect to real rates of return (net of inflation) for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be held by the trust, and for the trust itself.  Undue weight is not given to recent experience that may not continue over the measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term economic conditions.

12.   Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
The Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") is a combination of a profit sharing plan with 401(k) and a stock bonus plan.  The Plan provides for retirement, death, and disability benefits for all eligible employees.
 
An employee becomes eligible for participation after completion of six months of service.  After meeting the eligibility requirements, an employee becomes a member of the Plan on the earliest January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 occurring on or after his or her qualification.
 
The contributions to the Plan are discretionary and are determined by the Board of Directors.  The contributions are limited annually to the maximum amount permitted as a tax deduction under the applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions
 
Profit-sharing expenses were approximately $195,000, $172,000 and $181,000 for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Deferred Compensation Plans
 
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Corporation adopted deferred compensation plans for the Board of Directors, President and four Executive Officers.  Benefits are to be paid in monthly installments commencing at retirement and ending upon the death of the director or officer.  The agreement provides that if board membership or employment is terminated for reasons other than death or disability prior to retirement age, the amount of benefits would be reduced.  The deferred compensation expense for the years ended March 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, based on the present value of the retirement benefits, was $215,000, $438,000 and $371,000, respectively.  The deferred compensation liability was $1,905,000 and $1,667,000 at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The plans are unfunded; however, life insurance has been acquired on the life of the employees in amounts sufficient to discharge the obligation.

13.   Stock Option Plan
 
The Corporation has a noncompensatory stock option plan (the "Plan") designed to provide long-term incentives to employees.  All options are exercisable at end of year.

13.   Stock Option Plan (continued)
 
The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2010.  This amount changes based on changes in the market value of the Corporation's stock.

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:
 
 Year Ended March 31,  
2010
 
    Dividend yield
    2.25 %
    Expected life
 
10 years
 
    Expected volatility
    30.84 %
    Risk-free interest rate
    2.48 %

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility.  The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.  The expected life is based on historical experience.  The dividend yield assumption is based on the Corporation's history and expectation of dividend payouts.

14.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Corporation is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit.  Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.  The Corporation follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

14.   Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
 
At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
 
    Contract Amount   
March 31,
 
2010
   
2009
 
(In Thousands)
           
             
Commitments to grant loans
  $ 5,192     $ 17,807  
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit
    30,249       31,644  
Standby letters of credit
    1,783       2,794  
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Corporation, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
 
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Corporation is committed.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Corporation generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary.

In the normal course of business, the Corporation has entered into employment or severance agreements with certain officers of the Bank.
 
The Corporation maintains its cash accounts in several correspondent banks.  As of March 31, 2010, deposits in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) were approximately $1,426,000.
 
15.   Related Party Transactions
 
The Corporation has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal shareholders, executive officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal shareholders (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.  At March 31, 2010 and 2009, these loans totaled $828,285 and $826,872, respectively.  During the year ended March 31, 2010, total principal additions were $79,300 and total principal payments were $77,887.
 
Deposits from related parties held by the Corporation at March 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $742,450 and $510,225, respectively.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
There has been no current report on Form 8-K filed within 48 months prior to the date of the most recent financial statements reporting a change in accountants and/or reporting disagreements on any matter of accounting principle on financial statements disclosure.
 
ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of March 31, 2010, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The management of Community Financial Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  This internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
 
93
 
 

 
The management of Community Financial Corporation has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010.  To make the assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of March 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
 
This annual report does not include the attestation report of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
