NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(unaudited)
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
United Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.  The Company's principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, United Bank of Philadelphia (the "Bank").

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 when reviewing this Form 10-Q.  Quarterly results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other quarters.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the consolidated results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and its consolidated cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Management’s Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the fair value of investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and consideration of impairment of other intangible assets.

Commitments
In the general course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit, such as letters of credit and un-advanced loan commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.

Contingencies
The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation in the normal course of its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of this litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. However, the ultimate outcome of any such litigation, as with litigation generally, is inherently uncertain and it is possible that some litigation matters may be resolved adversely to the Company.

Income Taxes
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon available evidence that future realization is more likely than not.   For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of 100% of the net deferred tax asset has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets related to cumulative temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards.  If management determines that the Company may be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an income tax benefit may be required to increase the recorded value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable amount.
 
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 ultimately would be 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. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and 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 benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
 
 
 
 
7

 
 
 
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, would be recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
2.  Comprehensive Loss
 
Total comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive income or loss that is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale, net of taxes.  The Company’s total comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $(168,981) and $(556,253), respectively. The Company’s total comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $(478,229) and $(750,144), respectively.  The difference between the Company’s net loss and total comprehensive loss for these periods relates to the change in net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale during the applicable period of time.
 
3. Net Loss Per Share
 
The calculation of net loss per share follows:

 
Three Months Ended     June 30, 2011
Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Six Months Ended   June 30, 2011

The preferred stock is non cumulative and the Company is restricted from paying dividends.  Therefore, no effect of the preferred stock is included in the loss per share calculations.
 

4. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The FASB believes the guidance in this ASU will improve financial reporting by creating greater consistency in the way GAAP is applied for various types of debt restructurings.  The ASU clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings.  In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables, clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company's adoption of this ASU on June 15, 2011 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “Boards”) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments to the Codification in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the Codification to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-05 on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

U.S. government and agencies. Unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.
 
Government Sponsored Enterprises residential mortgage-backed securities. Unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in federal agency mortgage-backed securities may be caused by interest rate increases. The Company purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.
 
The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  On a quarterly basis, we review all securities to determine whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists and whether losses should be recognized. We consider relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other than temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time that allows for the recovery in value.
 
5. Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The Company considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies.   The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management's review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management's assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses.   All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change.   To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.

Nonperforming and Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
 
Non-accrual and Past Due Loans.  Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received 30 days as of the date such payments were due.  The Bank generally places a loan on non-accrual status when interest or principal is past due 90 days or more.  If it otherwise appears doubtful that the loan will be repaid, management may place the loan on nonaccrual status before the lapse of 90 days. Interest on loans past due 90 days or more ceases to accrue except for loans that are well collateralized and in the process of collection.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed out of income.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loan Origination/Risk Management.  The Bank has lending policies and procedures in place to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk.  Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis.  A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with periodic reports related to loan origination, asset quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and emerging problem loans.  Diversification in the portfolio is a means of managing risk with fluctuations in economic conditions.
 
Credit Quality Indicators.  For commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality.  Each loan’s internal risk weighting is assigned at origination and updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating.  The Bank uses a 1 through 7 loan grading system that follows regulatory accepted definitions as follows:

·  
Risk ratings of “1” through “3” are used for loans that are performing and meet and are expected to continue to meet all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation and are generally current on principal and interest payments.  Loans with these risk ratings are reflected as “Good/Excellent” and “Satisfactory” in the following table.
·  
Risk ratings of “4” are assigned to “Pass/Watch” loans which may require a higher degree of regular, careful attention.  Borrowers may be exhibiting weaker balance sheets and positive but inconsistent cash flow coverage. Borrowers in this classification generally exhibit a higher level of credit risk and are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Loans with this rating would not normally be acceptable as new credits unless they are adequately secured and/or carry substantial guarantors. Loans with this rating are reflected as “Pass” in the following table.
·  
Risk ratings of “5” are assigned to “Special Mention” loans that do not presently expose the Bank to a significant degree of risks, but have potential weaknesses/deficiencies deserving Management’s closer attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. No loss of principal or interest is envisioned.  Borrower is experiencing adverse operating trends, which potentially could impair debt, services capacity and may necessitate restructuring of credit.  Secondary sources of repayment are accessible and considered adequate to cover the Bank's exposure. However a restructuring of the debt should result in repayment.  The asset is currently protected, but is potentially weak.  This category may include credits with inadequate loan agreements, control over the collateral or an unbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized but exceptions are considered material. These borrowers would have limited ability to obtain credit elsewhere.
 
 
 
 
14

 
 
 
·  
Risk ratings of “6” are assigned to ‘Substandard” loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets must have a well-defined weakness. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss is possible if the deficiencies are not corrected. The borrower’s recent performance indicated an inability to repay the debt, even if restructured. Primary source of repayment is gone or severely impaired and the Bank may have to rely upon the secondary source. Secondary sources of repayment (e.g., guarantors and collateral) should be adequate for a full recovery. Flaws in documentation may leave the bank in a subordinated or unsecured position when the collateral is needed for the repayment.
·  
Risk ratings of “7” are assigned to “Doubtful” loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified “Substandard” with the added characteristic that the weakness makes the collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  The borrower's recent performance indicates an inability to repay the debt.  Recovery from secondary sources is uncertain.  The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably- specific pending factors, its classification as a loss is deferred.
·  
Risk rating of “8” are assigned to “Loss” loans which are considered non-collectible and do not warrant classification as active assets.  They are recommended for charge-off if attempts to recover will be long term in nature.  This classification does not mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value, but rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loss, although a future recovery may be possible.  Loss should always be taken in the period in which they surface and are identified as non-collectible as a result there is no tabular presentation.
 
For consumer and residential mortgage loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality.  Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to contractual terms is in doubt.  These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis.  A loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan, but no later than 90 days past due.

Impaired Loans. The Bank identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Bank recognizes interest income on impaired loans under the cash basis when the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Bank.   If these factors do not exist, the Bank will record interest payments on the cost recovery basis.
 
In accordance with guidance provided by ASC 310-10, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, management employs one of three methods to determine and measure impairment: the Present Value of Future Cash Flow Method; the Fair Value of Collateral Method; and the Observable Market Price of a Loan Method.  To perform an impairment analysis, the Company reviews a loan’s internally assigned grade, its outstanding balance, guarantors, collateral, strategy, and a current report of the action being implemented. Based on the nature of the specific loans, one of the impairment methods is chosen for the respective loan and any impairment is determined, based on criteria established in ASC 310-10.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).  TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as a below market interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. The Company had no troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
7.  Fair Value
 
Fair Value Measurement
 
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 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 Company'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 fair value guidance in FASB ASC 820 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. In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels as follows:
 
 
 
18

 
 
 
 
Level 1
·  
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2
·  
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
·  
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
·  
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

Level 3 Inputs
·  
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
·  
These 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.
 
 
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available for Sale (“AFS”):  Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities would be classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow models. Level 2 securities include U.S. agency securities and mortgage backed agency securities.  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
 
Assets on the consolidated statements of condition measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of the Bank’s AFS securities portfolio was approximately $1,206,000.  Over 90% of the portfolio consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $1,077,000 at June 30, 2011.  All the residential mortgage-backed securities were issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”).  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States.  The majority of the AFS securities were classified as level 2 assets at June 30, 2011.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar instruments and all relevant information.  There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets during the period ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following table presents the assets carried on the consolidated statements of condition by level within the hierarchy as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010.

Fair value of impaired loans is determined by the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Collateral values for loans and OREO are determined by appraisal, which may be discounted based upon management’s review and changes in market conditions.  The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated statements of condition.   The valuation allowance for impaired loans at June 30, 2011 was approximately $27,000.  The valuation allowance for impaired loans at December 31, 2010 was approximately $238,000.  The reduction during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was the result of the charge-off of loans for which there was a valuation allowance.

The fair value of OREO was determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review, changes in market conditions and other liquidation cost.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
 
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities available-for-sale are as described above.  Investment securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.
 
Loans (other than impaired loans): The fair value of loans was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which considered estimated pre­payments, amortizations, and non performance risk.  Prepayments and discount rates were based on current marketplace estimates and pricing.  Residential mortgage loans were discounted at the current effective yield, including fees, of conventional loans, adjusted for their maturities with a spread to the Treasury yield curve.  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.
 
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (e.g., their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate the fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.  The Treasury Yield Curve was utilized for discounting cash flows as it approximates the average marketplace certificate of deposit rates across the relevant maturity spectrum.
 
Accrued interest payable:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.
 
Commitments to extend credit: The carrying amounts for commitments to extend credit approximate fair value as such commitments are not substantially different from the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparts.  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair market value.

Overview
 
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $169,000 ($0.16 per common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $561,000 ($0.53 per common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The Company reported a net loss of approximately $477,000 ($0.45 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $752,000 ($0.71 per common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.   The reduction in the loss in 2011 is primarily related to a net gain on the sale of OREO and  lower provisions for loan losses because of improving asset quality trends.  However, aggressive collection efforts continue to result in increased legal, collection and foreclosure-related expenses.
 
Management believes that the following actions are critical to enhancing the Company’s future financial performance:
 
Proactive management of asset quality to minimize credit losses.  Progress has been made in the Bank’s collection, underwriting, and customer relationship management practices. Evidence of these improvements can be seen in the reduction of the level of impaired loans from approximately $2.5 million at December 31, 2010 to approximately $1.8 million at June 30, 2011 and a decline in the delinquency ratio from 8.67% at December 31, 2010 to 6.05% at June 30, 2011.  In addition, the Bank’s non-performing loans declined to approximately $2.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $2.8 million at December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans have been affected by charge-offs and transfers to OREO. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, management sold $730,000 of its OREO portfolio for a net gain of approximately $111,000.   During 2011, management expects to make further progress in reducing the level of non-performing loans and non-performing assets and anticipates that credit quality costs, including loan collection and OREO-related costs, will continue to affect reported earnings as the Bank diligently works to reduce the outstanding investment in these assets.
 
Continued core deposit growth.  During the six months ended, total deposits increased by approximately $2.5 million, or 3.70%.  Utilizing its competitive advantage as a community development bank and increased FDIC insurance limits, management continues to call upon corporations and institutions in the region to request core depository relationships to support the Bank’s small business lending strategies.  Management will continue to utilize this strategy as well as other retail deposit marketing strategies to achieve deposit growth that is critical to attaining economies of scale and leveraging capital to maximize the Company’s earnings potential.
 
Controlling and managing the net interest margin.  The Bank’s net interest margin continues to decline—falling to 4.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 4.50% for the same quarter in 2010. Margin compression is created by the continued low interest rate environment that has resulted in lower yields on loans, federal funds sold and investment securities. Although improving, the relative high level of non-accrual loans also contributes to the compression. While management actively manages the rates paid on deposit products to “average” market rates in attempt to mitigate the effect of the reduction in yield on earning assets, deposit rates have generally “bottomed out”. Management will continue to focus on growing the Bank’s core assets and reducing the level of nonaccrual loans to increase net interest income.
 
Controlling and managing noninterest expense.   During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, noninterest expense continued to escalate as a result of legal, collection-related expenses, costs associated with the maintenance of foreclosed properties (OREO) and increased occupancy, marketing and public relations expense.  Data processing expense also increased as a result of the implementation of an enhanced e-banking platform that includes e-statements.  Management will continue to seek savings and efficiencies where possible.
 
Enhancing capital to support growth.   Capital declined as a result of net losses and growth, however, the Bank’s tangible, core, and risk-based capital ratios exceed “minimum” and “well capitalized” for regulatory capital requirements. Management recognizes the importance of establishing and maintaining capital levels to support the Bank’s growth and to remain in compliance with regulatory requirements. Management submitted an application for $1 million in capital from the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) on March 31, 2011; however, as a result of restrictions on the payment of dividends, the application was withdrawn.  An application for Bank Enterprise Award grant funds from the U.S. Treasury’s CDFI Fund has been submitted to supplement capital.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenditures for the periods presented.  Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
The Company considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies.   The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management's review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management's assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses.   All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change.   To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the  Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the footnotes to the Company’s unaudited financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q.

Loans
 
Average loans declined approximately $1,786,000, or 4.10%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  While commercial loan fundings during the quarter totaled approximately $1,016,000, they were offset by payoffs/paydowns, charge-offs and transfers to OREO following receipt of deeds in lieu of foreclosure late in the quarter ending March 31, 2011.  The Bank continues to maintain stringent underwriting standards especially related to non-owner occupied real estate lending.  The focus is on traditional commercial and industrial (i.e. working capital, receivables, etc.) small business lending for which credit enhancements through the Small Business Administration or other loan guaranty programs may be available to mitigate credit risk.
 
The Bank’s loan portfolio continues to be concentrated in commercial loans that comprise approximately $33.6 million, or 81%, of total loans at June 30, 2011, of which approximately $30.0 million are commercial real estate. Approximately $16.2 million of these loans are owner occupied which may serve to minimize the risk of loss. The Bank continues to have a strong niche in lending to religious organizations for which total loans at June 30, 2011 were approximately $13.6 million, or 41%, of the commercial portfolio.   Management continues to closely monitor this concentration to proactively identify and manage credit risk in light of the high level of unemployment that could impact the level of tithes and offerings that provide cash flow for repayment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, the diversification and size of the portfolio, and adequacy of collateral. Provisions are made to the allowance for loan losses in accordance with a detailed periodic analysis.  This analysis includes specific reserves allocated to impaired loans based on underlying recovery values as well as a general reserve based on many qualitative factors including charge-off history, delinquency trends, loan terms, regulatory environment, economic conditions, concentrations of credit risk and other relevant data. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.84% at June 30, 2011, compared to 2.03% at December 31, 2010.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011 provisions for loan losses totaled $70,000.  The Bank charged-off approximately $247,000 primarily related to several impaired loans for which collection efforts had been exhausted and specific reserves allocated at December 31, 2010.

Loans deemed “impaired” are those for which borrowers are no longer able to pay in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements.  The Bank’s source of repayment is generally the net liquidation value of the underlying collateral.  The level of impaired loans declined from approximately $2.5 million at December 31, 2010 to approximately $1.8 million at June 30, 2011.  The decline is primarily related to foreclosure activity totaling approximately $602,000 and charge-offs totaling approximately $247,000.  Specific reserves related to impaired loans totaled approximately $27,000 and $238,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
 
 
 
26

 
 

 
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans to religious organizations represented approximately $440,000 of total impaired loans. Management continues to work closely with the leadership of these organizations in an attempt to develop suitable repayment plans. In general, loans to religious organizations are being monitored closely to proactively identify potential weaknesses in this area of high concentration.  The Bank is working with collection attorneys to assist with its recovery efforts on all of its impaired loans including forbearance agreements, foreclosure and other collection strategies.

Management uses all available information to recognize losses on loans; however, future additions may be necessary based on further deterioration in economic conditions and market conditions affecting underlying real estate collateral values.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of the examination. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

The percentage of allowance to nonperforming loans has improved from 33.30% at December 31, 2010 to 35.51% at June 30, 2011 primarily as a result of foreclosure-related activity that reduced the level of impaired/nonperforming loans.      The following table sets forth information concerning nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets.

Investment Securities and Other Short-term Investments
 
Investment securities increased on average by approximately $1,476,000, or 8.87%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily related to an increase in investable funds because of proceeds from the sale of OREO as well as increased deposit levels during the quarter.
 
The yield on the investment portfolio declined to 3.42% at June 30, 2011 compared to 3.79% at December 31, 2010 as a result the purchase of securities to serve as collateral for governmental deposits as well as the call of higher yielding agency securities during the period.  The duration of the portfolio has extended to 3.1 years at June 30, 2011 compared to 2.0 years at December 31, 2010 as a result of the purchase of additional 15 and 20 year government sponsored agency (GSA) mortgage-backed pass-through securities that serve to generate monthly cash flow.   The payments of principal and interest on these pools of GSA loans are guaranteed by these entities that bear the risk of default.  The Bank’s risk is prepayment risk when defaults accelerate the repayment activity.  These loans have longer-term con­tractual maturities but are sometimes paid off/down before maturity or have repricing characteristics that occur before final maturity. Management’s goal is to maintain a portfolio with a short duration to allow for adequate cash flow to fund loan origination activity and to manage interest rate risk.

Deposits

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 average deposits increased approximately $1,843,000, or 2.72%. There was an increase of approximately $677,000, or 4.80%, in noninterest checking account balances and an increase of approximately $766,000, or 5.60%, in interest-bearing checking balances (including money market accounts). These increases were a result of an influx of funds related to depository relationships with several customers in contract-related businesses that receive periodic payments on receivables.  A concerted effort continues to attract and retain core deposits from existing, new, and potential commercial loan customers to stabilize and grow deposit levels.
 
Savings account balances increased on average by approximately $91,000, or 0.65%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Management is working to grow and stabilize its core savings accounts utilizing new marketing materials that encourage financial preparedness and increased savings through direct deposit.

Certificates of deposit increased on average by approximately $309,000, or 1.19%, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase is related to an additional deposit the Bank received from another financial institution because of its CDFI designation that qualifies for Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) credit.  The Bank has approximately $18.2 million in certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more. Approximately $13.0 million, or 71%, of these deposits are governmental or quasi-governmental relationships that have a long history with the Bank and are considered stable and core.

Commitments and Lines of Credit

The Bank is a party to 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 and letters of credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of an obligation of a customer to a third party. Commitments to extend credit fluctuate with the completion and conversion of construction lines of credit to permanent commercial mortgage loans and/or the closing of loans approved but not funded from one period to another.

Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. The total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  Management believes the Bank has adequate liquidity to support the funding of unused commitments.  The Bank's financial instrument commitments are summarized below:

   
June 30,
2011
   
December 31,
2010

Standby letters of credit
    739,000       695,000       -  
 
 
 
 
29

 
 
 
The level of commitments increased from approximately $8.2 million at December 31, 2010 to approximately $9.8 million at June 30, 2011 primarily as a result of the approval of several construction lines of credit and the paydown of several revolving working capital lines of credit during the period which increased the availability under those lines of credit.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate liquidity and maintain appropriate balance between interest-sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs.  Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.

The Bank's principal sources of asset liquidity include investment securities consisting principally of U.S. Government and agency issues, particularly those of shorter maturities, and mortgage-backed securities with monthly repayments of principal and interest.  Other types of assets such as federal funds sold, as well as maturing loans, are also sources of liquidity.  Approximately $9.1 million in loans are scheduled to mature within one year.
 
By policy, the Bank’s minimum level of liquidity is 6.00% of total assets.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank had total short-term liquidity, including cash and federal funds sold, of approximately $12.1 million, or 15.9% of total assets, compared to $8.7 million, or 11.7%, at December 31, 2010. The increase primarily relates to increased deposits as well as proceeds from the sale of OREO.  The portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio classified as available-for-sale could also provide liquidity. However, the majority of these securities are pledged as collateral for deposits of governmental/quasi-governmental agencies as well as the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank.  Therefore, they are restricted from use to fund loans or to meet other liquidity requirements.  To ensure the ongoing adequacy of liquidity, the following strategies will be utilized in order of priority, if necessary:

·  
Seek additional non-public deposits from existing private sector customers
·  
Sell participations of existing commercial credits to other financial institutions in the region

The Bank’s contingent funding sources  include the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank for which it currently has $1.75 million in securities pledged that result in borrowing capacity of $1.5 million. Liquidity will continue to be closely monitored and managed to minimize risk and ensure that adequate funds are available to meet daily customer requirements and loan demand.

Capital Resources
 
Total shareholders' equity decreased approximately $478,000 compared to December 31, 2010 as a result of a net loss of approximately $477,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and other comprehensive loss of approximately $1,000 from a decrease in unrealized gains on investment securities classified as available-for-sale. As reflected in the table below, the Company’s risk-based capital ratios are above the minimum regulatory requirements.  At June 30, 2011, the Company is deemed "well capitalized."  The Company does not anticipate paying dividends in the near future because of regulatory imposed dividend restrictions. The Company will seek to maintain the requisite minimum regulatory capital levels by internal capital generation (retained earnings) and by monitoring its asset growth.  For the last several years, the Company has been the recipient of Bank Enterprise Award (“BEA”) grants from the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (“CDFI”) of the US Treasury Department for its small business lending activity.  An application was submitted in June 2011 for additional grant funds to supplement capital.  The Treasury will make notifications of award in September 2011.
 
In addition, the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) of the U.S. Treasury is another source that the Company sought to support its capital position.  The Small Business Jobs and Credit Act established a $30 billion Small Business Lending Fund for interested community banks with $10 billion or less in assets. The Company submitted an application for $1 million in March 2011.  However, subsequent to the submission of the application, the Treasury restricted the award of SBLF funds to financial institutions that did not have restrictions on the payment of dividends.  The Company currently has a restriction on the payment of dividends and therefore is not qualified for these funds.  Therefore, the application was withdrawn.

Results of Operations

Summary
 
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $169,000 ($0.16 per common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $561,000 ($0.53 per common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The Company reported a net loss of approximately $477,000 ($0.45 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of approximately $752,000 ($0.71 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 2010.   The reduction in the loss in 2011 is primarily related to lower provisions for loan losses because of improving asset quality trends.  However, aggressive collection efforts continue to result in increased legal, collection and foreclosure-related expenses.  The results for 2011 were also boosted by the net gain on the sale of OREO of approximately $111,000.  A detailed explanation of each component of earnings is included in the sections below.

For purposes of computing the average balance, loans are not reduced for nonperforming loans.  Loan fee income is included in interest income on loans but is not considered material.
 
Net interest income declined approximately $20,000 or 2.64%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net interest income increased approximately $7,500 or 0.50%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The net yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 declined to 4.26% from 4.50% for the same quarter in 2010 and declined to 4.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 4.58% for the same period in 2010.  Although the yield on loans increased 39 basis points as a result of the transfer of more than $2 million in nonaccrual loans to OREO and the imposition of default interest rates for several borrowers for noncompliance with note requirements to provide annual financial statements, the overall yield on interest-bearing assets declined by 34 basis points.  This decline was the result of a reduction in average outstanding loans because of slow origination activity and payoffs that resulted in a shift in earning assets from loans to lower yielding federal funds sold and other investments. The reduction in yields on federal funds sold and other investments was also a contributing factor in the decline.
 
 
 
32

 
 
 
 
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities fell 15 basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 18 basis points for the six months June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of rate reductions made on the Bank’s deposit products to follow market conditions. However, deposit rates have “bottomed-out”, leaving little room to make further downward adjustments.
 
The Bank was not able to fully capitalize on the $2 million growth in deposits/earning assets because of the declining margins related to the factors noted above—both decline in loan volume as well as hitting the deposit rate floor.   Management continues to focus on reducing the level of nonaccrual loans, increasing loan origination activity and growing its core deposits to increase net interest income.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $377,000 for the same quarter in 2010. The provision for loan losses was $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $407,000 for the same period in 2010. In general, provision requirements are based on credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the review and analysis of the loan portfolio in accordance with the Bank’s Allowance for Loan Loss policies and procedures. During 2010, the Bank experienced a significant increase in its impaired loans for which specific reserves were required.  (Refer to Allowance for Loan Losses above for discussion and analysis of credit quality.)

Noninterest Income

The amount of the Bank's noninterest income generally reflects the volume of the transactional and other accounts handled by the Bank and includes such fees and charges as low balance account fees, overdrafts, account analysis, ATM fees and other customer service fees.  Noninterest income increased approximately $98,000, or 32.58%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same quarter in 2010 and increased approximately $44,000, or 7.82%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.    The increase was primarily related to the net gain on the sale of OREO.

Customer service fees declined by approximately $17,000, or 14.66%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and decreased approximately $25,000, or 11.38%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  The decline was primarily a result of a reduction in overdraft and other activity fees on deposit accounts.
 
ATM fees declined approximately $4,000, or 4.47%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and declined approximately $9,000 or 4.79%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.   The Bank’s ATM network continues to experience a reduction in volume because of ATM saturation in the marketplace by both financial and non-financial competitors.  Also, consistent with trends in the industry, ATM usage has declined as consumers continue to move to electronic payment methods utilizing debit and credit cards versus cash.  In March 2011, the Bank increased its surcharge fee for noncustomer use of ATM to be consistent with the marketplace and enhance profitability of the network; however, there was only a modest improvement.  Methods to reduce cost and increase revenues associated with the ATM network continue to be evaluated including a more cost effective network communication system.
 
The Bank serves as arranger/agent for loan syndications for several major corporations throughout the country.  In this capacity, the Bank arranges back-up lines/letters of credit with other minority banks for which it receives agent/administrative fees.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, these fees totaled $80,000.    Management may seek to expand these credit services in 2011 as the economy moves out of recession.

Noninterest Expense

Salaries and benefits decreased approximately $26,000, or 5.91%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and decreased approximately $25,000, or 3.89%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  This decline is the result of the severance of unproductive personnel in the lending/credit administration area of the Bank in April 2011. Management continues to review the organizational structure to maximize efficiencies, increase utilization/productivity and increase business development activity.
 
Occupancy expense increased approximately $22,000, or 8.74%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and increased approximately $38,000, or 7.55%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.   The increase in 2011 is attributable to the September 2010 expiration of a sublease the Company had for a retail space it leases at its corporate headquarters for which a replacement tenant has not been secured.

Office operations and supplies expense increased approximately $6,000, or 8.82%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and increased approximately $11,000, or 7.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.. The increase is related to the cost of branch capture-compatible forms and checks required in conjunction with the implementation of Check 21 technology in October 2010. Management continues to review all office operations expenses including supplies, storage, security, etc. to achieve cost reductions.
 
Marketing and public relations expense increased approximately $26,000, or 275.68%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and increased approximately $46,000, or 358.27%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  In 2011, the Company began to push out its new branding message, “So Much More Than Banking” utilizing newspaper and magazine ads, bus depots, and other relevant marketing strategies.

Professional services expense decreased approximately $27,000, or 27.22%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and decreased approximately $25,000, or 14.53%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  The decrease is primarily related to lower consulting fees.  In 2010, the Bank utilized a consultant to assist with the preparation of its strategic plan.

Data processing expenses increased approximately $7,000, or 7.23%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and increased approximately $18,000, or 7.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of the implementation of an enhanced e-banking platform (including e-statements) as well as a 3% annual escalation in core processing fees.
 
Federal deposit insurance assessments increased approximately $6,000, or 17.48%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 and increased approximately $13,000, or 18.38%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Assessments are based on many factors including the Bank’s deposit size and composition and its current regulatory ratings.   The increase is primarily related to growth in deposits compared to the prior year.
 
Loan and collection expenses decreased approximately $7,000, or 10.88%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 but increased approximately $13,000, or 13.86%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  This increase is directly related to increased foreclosure activity in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio that resulted in Sheriff’s sale costs and other expenses associated with the acquisition of OREO properties.
 
Dividend Restrictions

The Company has never declared or paid any cash or stock dividends.  The Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended, provides that cash dividends may be declared and paid only from accumulated net earnings and that, prior to the declaration of any dividend, if the surplus of a bank is less than the amount of its capital, the bank shall, until surplus is equal to such amount, transfer to surplus an amount which is at least ten percent (10%) of the net earnings of the bank for the period since the end of the last fiscal year or any shorter period since the declaration of a dividend.  If the surplus of a bank is less than fifty percent (50%) of the amount of its capital, no dividend may be declared or paid by the Bank without the prior approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.
 
 
 
 
34

 
 
 
 
Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Board has the power to prohibit the payment of cash dividends by a bank holding company if it determines that such a payment would be an unsafe or unsound practice or constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of the subsidiary bank.  As a result of these laws and regulations, the Bank, and therefore the Company, whose only source of income is dividends from the Bank, will be unable to pay any dividends while an accumulated deficit exists.  The Company does not anticipate that dividends will be paid for the foreseeable future.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Overnight federal funds on which rates change daily and loans which are tied to prime or other short term indices differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed-rate loans.  Similarly, time deposits are much more interest sensitive than passbook savings accounts.  The shorter-term interest rate sensitivities are critical to measuring the interest sensitivity gap, or excess earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities.  Management of interest sensitivity involves matching repricing dates of interest-earning assets with interest-bearing liabilities in a manner designed to optimize net interest income within the limits imposed by regulatory authorities, liquidity determinations and capital considerations.

At June 30, 2011, a positive gap position is maintained on a cumulative basis through 1 year of 4.35% that is within the Bank’s policy guidelines of +/- 15% on a cumulative 1-year basis. This position makes the Bank’s net interest income more favorable in a rising interest rate environment.  The positive gap position is due to loan payoffs and the sale of OREO during the quarter that resulted in a higher level of Federal Funds Sold that reprice immediately.  Management will review and monitor the structure and rates on investment purchases, new loan originations and renewals to maintain a balanced interest rate risk profile.

While using the interest sensitivity gap analysis is a useful management tool as it considers the quantity of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in a given time period, it does not consider the relative sensitivity to market interest rate changes that are characteristic of various interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities.  A simulation model is used to estimate the impact of various changes, both upward and downward, in market interest rates and volumes of assets and liabilities on the net income of the Bank.  This model produces an interest rate exposure report that forecasts changes in the market value of portfolio equity under alternative interest rate environments.  The market value of portfolio equity is defined as the present value of the Company’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet instruments.  At June 30, 2011, the change in the market value of equity in a +200 basis point interest rate change is -32.4%, in excess of the Bank’s policy limit of 25% and -59.7 % in a +400 basis point interest rate change, above the policy limit of 50%.    The limit was exceeded as a result of the high level of fixed rate investment securities purchased during the quarter that decline in value in a rising rate environment.  Because most of these investments are used to secure public funds, management will closely review and monitor rates paid on these funds to mitigate interest rate risk when rates begin to rise.  In addition, management will attempt to mitigate this risk by originating more variable rate loans and purchasing variable rate MBS securities.  However, based on these models, with the exception of the market value measure, interest-rate exposure is not considered significant and is within the policy limits of the Bank on all measures at June 30, 2011.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Evelyn F. Smalls, and Chief Financial Officer, Brenda M. Hudson-Nelson, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).  Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
 
As of the date of this report, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
 
There have not been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K except as disclosed below.  The risk factors disclosed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
 
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act may adversely impact our business
 
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) which provides for a broad range of financial reform and will result in a number of new regulations which could significantly impact regulatory compliance costs and the operations of community banks and bank holding companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments which may increase our FDIC insurance premiums; repeals the prohibition on a bank’s payment of interest on demand deposit accounts of commercial clients beginning one year after the date of enactment; and contains provisions affecting corporate governance and executive compensation for publicly traded companies.  The Dodd-Frank Act also creates a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad authority to develop and implement rules regarding most consumer financial products.  Although many of the details of the Dodd-Frank Act and the full impact it will have on our business will not be known for many months or years in part because many of the provisions require the adoption of implementing rules and regulations, we expect compliance with the new law and its rules and regulations to result in additional costs, including increased compliance costs.  These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes to our operations in order to comply.  These changes may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Standard & Poors Downgrade in U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities may Adversely Impact our Business.
 
 On August 5, 2011, S&P downgraded the United States long term debt ratings from its AAA rating to AA+ and downgraded the credit ratings of certain long term debt instruments issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other U.S. government agencies linked to long term U.S. debt.  The federal bank regulatory agencies issued guidance on August 5, 2011 regarding the impact of the S&P downgrade upon risk based capital treatment.  The agencies advised banks that for risk based capital purposes, the risk rates for Treasury securities and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, government agencies and government sponsored entities will not change.  The downgrade could adversely affect the market value of U.S. government and federal agency securities on our balance sheet and could adversely affect the ability of those securities to serve as collateral for borrowing, as well as have other material adverse affects on the operation of our business and our financial results and condition.
