AB&T FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

AB&T Financial Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on June 25, 2007. On May 14, 2008, the Company became the sole owner of all the shares of the capital stock of Alliance Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”). Alliance Bank & Trust Company is a state-chartered bank which was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina in September 2004. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank commenced operations on September 8, 2004.

The Bank is headquartered in Gastonia, North Carolina and currently conducts business in two North Carolina counties through four full service branch offices. The principal business activity of the Bank is to provide commercial banking services to domestic markets, principally in Gaston and Cleveland counties. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company is also regulated, supervised and examined by the Federal Reserve. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are consolidated to omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The financial statements as of March 31, 2011 and for the interim periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) which requires management to make estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  In addition, they affect the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company.

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis.  The Company is required to include these disclosures in their interim and annual financial statements.  See Note. 8.

Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) required by ASU 2010-20 were deferred by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASU 2011-01 issued in January 2011. In April 2011 FASB issued ASU 2011-02 to assist creditors with their determination of when a restructuring is a TDR.

The determination is based on whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties as both events must be present.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – continued

Disclosures related to TDRs under ASU 2010-20 will be effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4 – Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income, which is defined as nonowner related transactions in equity.  The following table sets forth the amounts of other comprehensive income included in equity along with the related tax effect for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

Note 5 – Income (loss) per common share

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. No dilutive common share equivalents were included in the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

 Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasuries, other securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets and money market funds.
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, corporate debt securities, and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain derivative contracts and impaired loans.
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. For example, this category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly-structured or long-term derivative contracts.


Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows as of March 31, 2011:

The Company had no liabilities carried at fair value or measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The Company is predominantly an asset based lender with real estate serving as collateral on a substantial majority of loans. Loans which are deemed to be impaired are primarily valued on a nonrecurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs.

The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured using Level 3 inputs.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements - continued
 
The following table summarizes fair value estimates as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 for financial instruments, as defined by ASC Topic 825, excluding short-term financial assets and liabilities, for which carrying amounts approximate fair value, and financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

In accordance with ASC Topic 825, the Company has not included assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments in its disclosure, such as the value of the long-term relationships with the Company’s deposit, net premises and equipment, net core deposit intangibles, deferred taxes and other assets and liabilities. Additionally, the amounts in the table have not been updated since the date indicated; therefore the valuations may have changed since that point in time. For these reasons, the total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company.

The following disclosures represent financial instruments in which the ending balance at March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 are not carried at fair value in its entirety on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Short-term Financial Instruments - The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, time deposits placed, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and other short-term investments and borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate market.

Loans - Fair values were generally determined by discounting both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected using an observable discount rate for similar instruments with adjustments that the Company believes a market participant would consider in determining fair value. The Company estimates the cash flows expected to be collected using internal credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate the Company’s best estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds for the life of the loan.

Deposits - The fair value for certain deposits with stated maturities was calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities.  For deposits with no stated maturities, the carrying amount was considered to approximate fair value and does not take into account the significant value of the cost advantage and stability of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors.

FHLB Advances - The Company uses quoted market prices for its long-term debt when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates and credit spreads for debt with similar maturities.

The carrying and fair values of certain financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Note 7 – Investment Securities - continued
  
Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value.  Securities in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at March 31, 2011, consisted of one security.  Of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2011, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost.  The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary.

Restructured loans included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 consisted of 5 commercial real estate loans with a combined principal balance of $2,074,014, Concessions made to the original contractual terms of these loans consisted primarily of the deferral of interest and/or principal payments due to a weakening of the borrowers’ financial condition. The principal balances on these restructured loans were matured and/or in default at the time of restructure and we have no commitments to lend additional funds to any of these borrowers. There were $6,018,948 of restructured loans still accruing interest at March 31, 2011. This total consisted of $4,468,945 in 14 construction and/or commercial real estate loans less than 30 days delinquent and $1,550,003 in 1 commercial real estate loan that was more than 90 days delinquent.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $0.5 million or $1.0 million, depending on loan type, and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis with the most recent analysis performed at March 31, 2011. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
 
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention, while still adequately protected by the borrower’s capital adequacy and payment capability, exhibit distinct weakening trends and/or elevated levels of exposure to external conditions. If left unchecked or uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deteriorated prospects of repayment. These exposures require management’s close attention so as to avoid becoming undue or unwarranted credit exposures.

Note 8 - Loans Receivable - continued
 
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower’s current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
 
Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible.
 
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans and leases. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the risk category of loans and leases is as follows:

Note 9 – Loan Portfolio Acquisition

On March 25, 2011, the Company completed a loan “swap” transaction accounted for as a transfer of financial assets, which included the purchase of a pool of residential mortgage home equity loans with an estimated fair value of $26,093,437. The residential mortgage home equity loan portfolio (portfolio) was purchased from a private equity firm in exchange for a combination of $4,058,458 in carrying value of certain non-performing loans and cash of $20,328,049. The non-performing loans were transferred without recourse and were carried at fair value prior to the exchange, in accordance with accounting standards.  Company will amortize approximately $850,000 in loan purchase adjustment as a yield adjustment over the expected life of the loans.  As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a discount on the purchased loans of $1,002,136 and was able to recover $1,046,479 in recorded loan loss reserves.

Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management.  The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” "plan," and “believe,” as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the Company’s operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Impact of Dodd-Frank Act

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) into law. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry in the United States. The Dodd-Frank Act includes, among other things:

·  
the creation of a Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify emerging systemic risks posed by financial firms, activities and practices, and to improve cooperation between federal agencies;

·  
the creation of a Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection authorized to promulgate and enforce consumer protection regulations relating to financial products, which would affect both banks and non-bank financial companies;

·  
the establishment of strengthened capital and prudential standards for banks and bank holding companies;

·  
enhanced regulation of financial markets, including derivatives and securitization markets;

·  
the elimination of certain trading activities by banks;

·  
a permanent increase of the previously implemented temporary increase of FDIC deposit insurance to $250,000 per account, an extension of unlimited deposit insurance on qualifying noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, and an increase in the minimum deposit insurance fund reserve requirement from 1.15% to 1.35%, with assessments to be based on assets as opposed to deposits;

·  
amendments to the Truth in Lending Act aimed at improving consumer protections with respect to mortgage originations, including originator compensation, minimum repayment standards, and prepayment considerations; and

·  
new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance.

The Company is unable to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the forthcoming rules and regulations will impact the Company’s business. However, the Company believes that certain aspects of the new legislation, including, without limitation, the additional cost of higher deposit insurance coverage and the costs of compliance with disclosure and reporting requirements and examinations could have a significant impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, the Company cannot predict whether there will be additional proposed laws or reforms that would affect the U.S. financial system or financial institutions, whether or when such changes may be adopted, how such changes may be interpreted and enforced, or how such changes may affect the Company.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationscontinued
 
Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net interest income was $1,420,766 as compared to $1,203,770 for the same period in 2010.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 1.19% and 1.56%, respectively.  The average rate realized on interest-earning assets was 4.23% and 4.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The net interest margin was 3.17% and 2.87% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that in management’s judgment is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level in relation to the risk of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 the provision(recovery) was $(877,138) and $36,528 respectively. The negative provision in the first quarter of 2011 is due to recapturing amounts that were specifically reserved relating to loans sold.  On March 31, 2011, there were $10,905,872 in loans in nonaccrual status.  On March 31, 2010, there were $7,424,481 in loans in nonaccrual status.  Based on present information, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2011 to meet presently known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses is 2.51% and 1.83% of total loans at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase in the allowance from prior year (as a percentage of total loans) is a result of the increase in nonaccrual and classified loans over prior year.  There are risks inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral.  The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, including management’s experience at other institutions, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Management’s judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which it believes to be reasonable, but which may not prove to be accurate.  Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required.  Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease in the Company’s net income and, possibly, a reduction of its capital.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $102,664 or 2.03% more than total noninterest income for the same period last year.  The largest component of noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was service charges on deposit accounts which were $81,595 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 or 8.76% lower than the same period last year.  Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $6,273 or 736.40% more than the three month period ended March 31, 2011.  Other service charges, commissions and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $14,796 or 41.60% more than the same period last year.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $2,379,358 or 109.89% more than total noninterest expense for the same period last year. The main component of the increase over prior year is a $1,002,136 nonrecurring charge to operations related to the discount on the purchased loan portfolio relating to our asset swap (See Note 9 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included with Item I above).  The primary recurring component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits, which were $661,664 and $557,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Salaries and benefits increased due to the increase in the number of active employees.  Other operating expenses were $645,965 and $486,522 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Other operating expenses increase primarily due to an increased in OREO expense of $150,408 of which approximately $90,000 related to back real estate taxes on a single property.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the effective income tax rate was 39.40% and 38.73%, respectively.  The income tax expense was $10,844, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to an income tax expense of $51,982 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationscontinued
 
Net Income (loss)

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income of $16,682 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to net income of $82,239 for the comparable period in 2010.
 
Assets and Liabilities

During the first three months of 2011, total assets increased $31,602,811 or 17.13% when compared to December 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily due to a increase in loans outstanding due to the loan portfolio acquisition.  In addition, we experienced an increase in federal funds sold of $9,192,432, or 221.47% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This is primarily a result of excess liquidity which management

expects to invest primarily in marketable securities over the next two quarters in order to maintain our strong liquidity position and interest margin.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $18,775,583 as of March 31, 2011 as compared to $19,023,896 at December 31, 2010.  Of this amount, $17,508,303 was designated as available for sale as of March 31, 2011.  The other investments were nonmarketable equity securities consisting of $1,222,100 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock and a $45,180 investment in Community Bankers Bank stock as of March 31, 2011.

Loans

Loans increased $24,050,214, or 16.22%, during the period.  As shown below, the largest increase was in consumer and other loans which increased $25,881,830 or 2,889.65%, to $26,777,505at March 31, 2011, due to our loan portfolio acquisition in the first quarter of 2011. Real estate – construction loans decreased $3,086,404 or 13.38% to $19,981,887.  Real estate – commercial loans increased $1,696,562, or 2.76%, to $63,109,304.  Real estate – residential loans decreased $243,006, or 56% to $43,318,905.  Commercial and industrial loans increased $801,232 or 4.14% to $20,152,125 at March 31, 2011.  Balances within the major loans receivable categories as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio

Criticized loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention and which could, if uncorrected, result in deterioration of the prospects for repayment of the Company’s credit position at a future date.  Classified loans are loans that are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or any collateral and as to which there is a distinct possibility or probability that we will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had criticized loans totaling $13,018,101 and $8,671,253, respectively.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had classified loans totaling $25,261,077 and $21,517,718, respectively.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had $10,836,239 or 6.29% of total gross loans in nonaccrual status and $2,626,373 in loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing.  At March 31, 2011, the allowance was $4,327,159 or 2.51% as a percentage of total loans down from $5,225,915 or 3.52% at December 31, 2010.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $37,360,170 or 25.08%, from December 31, 2010 to $186,343,909 at March 31, 2011.  Total time deposits increased $25,863,822, or 27.68% to $119,296,138 at March 31, 2011.  This increase was due to the decision of management to increase the concentration of brokered deposits to fund the HELOC purchase.  Total interest-bearing and non-interest bearing transaction accounts increased $5,683,898 or 40.60% since December 31, 2010. There was an increase in savings and money market accounts as well, which increased $5,812,450 or 13.99%, to $47,364,362 at March 31, 2011.  This increase in non time deposit accounts is a combination of the Bank instituting a revised market pricing strategy to attract new deposit accounts and implementing a retail initiative focusing on growing the core deposits of the Bank.  Brokered deposits represent a source of fixed rate funds priced competitively with Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) but do not require collateralization like FHLB borrowings.

    $ 8,000,000  

Liquidity

Liquidity needs are met by the Company through cash and short-term investments, and scheduled maturities of loans on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side for interest-bearing deposit accounts.  The Company also has the capacity to pledge certain loans as collateral for additional borrowings from FHLB during times when the comparable interest rate is favorable to the interest rate on deposit products.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity included cash and due from banks of $1,893,175, federal funds sold totaling $13,343,102, time deposits with other banks of $792,404 and securities available-for-sale totaling $17,508,303, credit availability with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $19,790,000 and unused lines of credit with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds totaling $16,000,000 at March 31, 2011.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1,985 to $21,356,887 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.  This is primarily the result of the net income for the period of $16,682, and stock based compensation expense of $46,104 offset by $43,750 in dividends paid on preferred stock.

The Federal Reserve Board and bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and financial institutions to maintain capital at adequate levels based on a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet exposures, adjusted for risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%.  Under the risk-based standard, capital is classified into two tiers.  Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, minus certain intangible assets.  Tier 2 capital consists of the general reserve for loan losses subject to certain limitations.  An institution’s qualifying capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.  The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.

Banks and bank holding companies are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total assets, which is known as the leverage ratio.  The minimum requirement for the leverage ratio is 3%; however all but the highest rated institutions are required to maintain ratios 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum.  Both the Company and the Bank exceeded their minimum regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2011 as well as the ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”

The following table summarizes the Company’s risk-based capital at March 31, 2011:

Shareholders’ equity
  $ 21,356,887  
Plus – unrealized (gain) loss on available-for-sale securities
    79,000  
Less – disallowed deferred tax assets
    (1,392,000 )
 
Tier 1 capital
  $ 20,043,887  
 
Plus – allowance for loan losses(1)
    2,215,000  
 
Total capital
  $ 22,258,887  
 
Risk-weighted assets
  $ 175,065,000

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationscontinued
 
Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through its operations, the Company has made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to the Company’s customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had issued commitments to extend credit of $13,908,663 through various types of commercial lending arrangements.  All of these commitments to extend credit had variable rates.

The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at March 31, 2011:

Totals
  $ 1,451     $ 792,634     $ 6,079,370     $ 7,065,208     $ 13,908,663  

Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded.  Accordingly, the amounts shown in the table above do not necessarily reflect the Company's need for funds in the periods shown.

The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the borrower.  Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2010 as contained in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.  Refer to the portions of the discussion in this report on Form 10-Q and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K that address our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)
Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that  such controls and procedures were effective.

(b)
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of its evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
