During the eleven months ended March 31, 2012, total deposits increased by $5.5 million.  This growth was comprised of an increase of $2.7 million in money market deposit accounts and an increase of $8.4 million in checking and savings accounts, as offset by a decrease of $5.5 million in aggregate certificates of deposit.  Advances and borrowings outstanding decreased by $2.5 million during the period.
