Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits

99.1 Quarterly earnings release dated April 28, 2011.

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practice within the banking industry. Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance.

Management reviews the non-GAAP measure of pre-tax, pre-provision earnings from core operations. In this non-GAAP financial measure, the provision of loan losses, nonperforming assets expense and certain non-recurring items, such as gains and losses on investment securities, are excluded form the determination of operating results. Management believes that these measures are useful as they provide a more comparable basis for evaluating financial performance from core operations period to period.

In addition, management reviews net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis. In this non-GAAP financial measure, interest income and net interest income are adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis assuming an effective tax rate of 35%. This assumed rate may differ from the Company’s actual effective income tax rate. In addition, the earning assets yield, net interest margin and the net interest rate spread are adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis. Management believes that these measures and ratios present a more accurate view of the performance of interest-earning assets and ensure comparability of net interest income regardless of the mix of taxable and tax-exempt instruments.
