The results of operations reflect interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as well as other information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tri Counties Bank (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Nature of Operations The Company operates 32 branch offices and 25 in-store branch offices in the California counties of Butte, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Fresno, Glenn, Kern, Lake, Lassen, Madera, Mendocino, Merced, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Shasta, Siskiyou, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, Yolo and Yuba. The Company's operating policy since its inception has emphasized retail banking. Most of the Company's customers are retail customers and small to medium sized businesses. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, investments, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other intangible assessments, income taxes, and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights are the only accounting estimates that materially affect the Company's consolidated financial statements. Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk The Company grants agribusiness, commercial, consumer, and residential loans to customers located throughout the northern San Joaquin Valley, the Sacramento Valley and northern mountain regions of California. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio within the business segments located in this geographical area. The Company currently classifies all its operation into one business segment that it denotes as community banking. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Investment Securities The Company classifies its debt and marketable equity securities into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, and throughout 2008, the Company did not have any securities classified as either held-to-maturity or trading. 6 The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments in debt and equity securities are summarized in the following tables: June 30, 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value -------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Available-for-Sale (in thousands) Obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies $222,225 $7,114 - $229,339 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 22,289 231 (286) 22,234 Corporate debt securities 1,000 - (469) 531 ------------------------------------------------------------- Total securities available-for-sale $245,514 $7,345 ($755) $252,104 ============================================================= December 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Available-for-Sale (in thousands) Obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies $236,786 $6,193 ($2) $203,774 Obligations of states and political subdivision 22,644 293 (272) 27,648 Corporate debt securities 1,000 - (81) 1,005 ------------------------------------------------------------- Total securities available-for-sale $260,430 $6,486 ($355) $266,561 ============================================================= The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2009 by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2009, obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies with a cost basis totaling $222,225,000 consist almost entirely of mortgage-backed securities whose contractual maturity, or principal repayment, will follow the repayment of the underlying mortgages. For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of these mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date. At June 30, 2009, the Company estimates the average remaining life of these mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies to be approximately 3.4 years. Average remaining life is defined as the time span after which the principal balance has been reduced by half. Estimated Amortized Cost Fair Value ------------------------------- Investment Securities (in thousands) Due in one year $410 $411 Due after one year through five years 55,064 56,043 Due after five years through ten years 28,750 29,441 Due after ten years 161,289 166,209 ------------------------------ Totals $245,514 $252,104 ============================== Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity until realized. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, and throughout 2008, the Company did not sell any investment securities. Investment securities with an aggregate carrying value of $219,789,000 and $231,056,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, were pledged as collateral for specific borrowings, lines of credit and local agency deposits. 7 Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, were as follows: Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total ------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized June 30, 2009 Value Loss Value Loss Value Loss -------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Available-for-Sale: (in thousands) Obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies - - - - - - Obligations of states and political subdivisions 3,427 (108) 1,910 (178) 5,337 (286) Corporate debt securities 1,000 (469) - - 1,000 (469) -------------------------------------------------------------- Total securities available-for-sale $4,427 ($577) $1,910 ($178) $6,353 ($755) ============================================================== Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total ------------------- ------------------ ------------------ Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized December 31, 2008 Value Loss Value Loss Value Loss -------------------------------------------------------------- Securities Available-for-Sale: (in thousands) Obligations ofm U.S. government corporations and agencies $130 ($1) $18 ($1) $148 ($2) Obligations of states and political subdivisions 6,882 (272) - - 6,882 (272) Corporate debt securities 1,000 (81) - - 1,000 (81) -------------------------------------------------------------- Total securities available-for-sale $8,012 ($354) $18 ($1) $8,030 ($355) ============================================================== Obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies: Unrealized losses on investments in obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies are caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by U.S. Government Sponsored Entities (principally Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2009, no debt securities representing obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies had unrealized losses. Obligations of states and political subdivisions: The unrealized losses on investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions were caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2009, 11 debt securities representing obligations of states and political subdivisions had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 5.4% from the Company's amortized cost basis. Obligations of corporation debt securities: The unrealized losses on investments in corporate debt securities were caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2009, 1 corporate debt security had an unrealized loss with aggregate depreciation of 46.9% from the Company's amortized cost basis. 8 Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related investment security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. Unrealized losses due to fluctuations in fair value of securities held to maturity or available for sale are recognized through earnings when it is determined that an other than temporary decline in value has occurred. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"), and as a condition of membership, it is required to purchase stock. The amount of FHLB stock required to be purchased is based on the borrowing capacity desired by the Bank. While technically equity securities, there is no market for the FHLB stock. Therefore, the shares are considered as restricted investment securities. Such investment is carried at cost. Loans Held for Sale Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors of current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. At June 30, 2009, June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2008, the Company's balance of loans held for sale was immaterial. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the mortgage servicing rights retained by the Company. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the cost allocated to the associated mortgage servicing rights. Gains or losses on the sale of loans that are held for sale are recognized at the time of the sale and determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the net book value of the loans less the estimated fair value of any retained mortgage servicing rights. Loans Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield over the actual life of the loan. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal. When loans are 90 days past due, but in management's judgment are well secured and in the process of collection, they may be classified as accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of Management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. All impaired loans are classified as nonaccrual loans. At June 30, 2009, $8,632,000 of loans are classified as troubled debt restructured. The Company had obligations to lend $1,663,000 of additional funds on the restructured loans as of June 30, 2009. Reserve for Unfunded Commitments The reserve for unfunded commitments is established through a provision for losses - unfunded commitments charged to noninterest expense. The reserve for unfunded commitments is an amount that Management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing commitments, including unused portions of revolving lines of credits and other loans, standby letters of credits, and unused deposit account overdraft privilege. The reserve for unfunded commitments is based on evaluations of the collectibility, and prior loss experience of unfunded commitments. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall loan portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans and related unfunded commitments, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's or depositor's ability to pay. 9 Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans and deposit related overdrafts are charged against the allowance for loan losses when Management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely or, with respect to consumer installment loans, according to an established delinquency schedule. The allowance is an amount that Management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing loans and leases, based on evaluations of the collectibility, impairment and prior loss experience of loans and leases. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. The Company defines a loan as impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. As a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance. Credit risk is inherent in the business of lending. As a result, the Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. This is maintained through periodic charges to earnings. These charges are shown in the Consolidated Income Statements as provision for loan losses. All specifically identifiable and quantifiable losses are immediately charged off against the allowance. However, for a variety of reasons, not all losses are immediately known to the Company and, of those that are known, the full extent of the loss may not be quantifiable at that point in time. The balance of the Company's allowance for loan losses is meant to be an estimate of these unknown but probable losses inherent in the portfolio. For purposes of this discussion, "loans" shall include all loans and lease contracts that are part of the Company's portfolio. The Company formally assesses the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. Determination of the adequacy is based on ongoing assessments of the probable risk in the outstanding loan portfolio, and to a lesser extent the Company's loan commitments. These assessments include the periodic re-grading of credits based on changes in their individual credit characteristics including delinquency, seasoning, recent financial performance of the borrower, economic factors, changes in the interest rate environment, growth of the portfolio as a whole or by segment, and other factors as warranted. Loans are initially graded when originated. They are re-graded as they are renewed, when there is a new loan to the same borrower, when identified facts demonstrate heightened risk of nonpayment, or if they become delinquent. Re-grading of larger problem loans occurs at least quarterly. Confirmation of the quality of the grading process is obtained by independent credit reviews conducted by consultants specifically hired for this purpose and by various bank regulatory agencies. The Company's method for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses includes specific allowances for identified problem loans and leases as determined by SFAS 114, formula allowance factors for pools of credits, and allowances for changing environmental factors (e.g., interest rates, growth, economic conditions, etc.). Allowance factors for loan pools are based on the previous 5 years historical loss experience by product type. Allowances for specific loans are based on SFAS 114 analysis of individual credits. Allowances for changing environmental factors are Management's best estimate of the probable impact these changes have had on the loan portfolio as a whole. This process is explained in detail in the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, Management believes that the allowance for loan losses ($33,624,000) and the reserve for unfunded commitments ($3,140,000), which collectively stand at $36,764,000 at June 30, 2009, are adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio. 10 The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan losses, reserve for unfunded commitments, and allowance for losses (which is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments) for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------- Allowance for loan losses: 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of period $32,774 $19,383 $27,590 $17,331 Provision for loan losses 7,850 8,800 15,650 12,900 Loans charged off: Real estate mortgage: Residential (484) (167) (574) (221) Commercial (103) - (145) (19) Consumer: Home equity lines (2,163) (789) (3,468) (948) Home equity loans (80) (161) (185) (250) Auto indirect (628) (623) (1,293) (1,172) Other consumer (203) (277) (518) (579) Commercial (579) (254) (1,058) (389) Construction: Residential (3,068) (1,905) (3,068) (2,983) Commercial - - - - ----------------------------------------------------- Total loans charged off (7,308) (4,176) (10,309) (6,561) Recoveries of previously charged-off loans: Real estate mortgage: Residential - - - - Commercial 16 14 31 28 Consumer: Home equity lines 7 - 9 - Home equity loans - - - - Auto indirect 124 69 260 191 Other consumer 155 181 351 374 Commercial 6 10 38 18 Construction: Residential - - 4 - Commercial - - - - ---------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries of previously charged off loans 308 274 693 611 ---------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs (7,000) (3,902) (9,616) (5,950) ---------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of period $33,624 $24,281 $33,624 $24,281 ==================================================== Reserve for unfunded commitments: Balance at beginning of period $2,740 $2,915 $2,565 $2,090 Provision for losses - unfunded commitments 400 550 575 1,375 ---------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of period $3,140 $3,465 $3,140 $3,465 ==================================================== Balance at end of period: Allowance for loan losses $33,624 $24,281 Reserve for unfunded commitments 3,140 3,465 --------------------- Allowance for losses $36,764 $27,746 ===================== As a percentage of total loans: Allowance for loan losses 2.17% 1.57% Reserve for unfunded commitments .20% 0.23% --------------------- Allowance for losses 2.37% 1.80% ===================== 11 Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) represent the Company's right to a future stream of cash flows based upon the contractual servicing fee associated with servicing mortgage loans. Our MSRs arise from residential mortgage loans that we originate and sell, but retain the right to service the loans. For sales of residential mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on the fair values of the loan and the servicing right. The net gain from the retention of the servicing right is included in gain on sale of loans in noninterest income when the loan is sold. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. MSRs are included in other assets. Servicing fees are recorded in noninterest income when earned. The determination of fair value of our MSRs requires management judgment because they are not actively traded. The determination of fair value for MSRs requires valuation processes which combine the use of discounted cash flow models and extensive analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow and prepayment assumptions used in our discounted cash flow model are based on empirical data drawn from the historical performance of our MSRs, which we believe are consistent with assumptions used by market participants valuing similar MSRs, and from data obtained on the performance of similar MSRs. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and the discount rate. These variables can, and generally will, change from quarter to quarter as market conditions and projected interest rates change. The key risks inherent with MSRs are prepayment speed and changes in interest rates. The Company uses an independent third party to determine fair value of MSRs. The following tables summarize the activity in, and the main assumptions we used to determine the fair value of mortgage servicing rights for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Six months ended June 30, ------------------------- 2009 2008 ------------------------- Mortgage servicing rights: Balance at beginning of period $2,972 $4,088 Additions 825 412 Change in fair value 98 (172) ------------------------- Balance at end of period $3,895 $4,328 ========================= Servicing fees received $546 $506 Balance of loans serviced at: Beginning of period $431,195 $406,743 End of period $468,360 $417,080 Weighted-average prepayment speed (CPR) 16.3% 10.7% Discount rate 9.0% 10.0% 12 Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment, including those acquired under capital lease, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or lease terms. Asset lives range from 3-10 years for furniture and equipment and 15-40 years for land improvements and buildings. Foreclosed Assets Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other noninterest expense. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. The Company has identifiable intangible assets consisting of core deposit premiums and minimum pension liability. Core deposit premiums are amortized using an accelerated method over a period of ten years. Intangible assets related to minimum pension liability are adjusted annually based upon actuarial estimates. The following table summarizes the Company's goodwill intangible as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. December 31, June 30, (Dollars in Thousands) 2008 Additions Reductions 2009 -------------------------------------------------- Goodwill $15,519 - - $15,519 ================================================== The following table summarizes the Company's core deposit intangibles as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. December 31, June 30, (Dollars in Thousands) 2008 Additions Reductions 2009 --------------------------------------------- Core deposit intangibles $3,365 - - $3,365 Accumulated amortization (2,712) - (199) (2,911) --------------------------------------------- Core deposit intangibles, net $653 - ($199) $ 454 ============================================= Core deposit intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives. Such lives are periodically reassessed to determine if any amortization period adjustments are indicated. The following table summarizes the Company's estimated core deposit intangible amortization for each of the five succeeding years: Estimated Core Deposit Intangible Amortization Years Ended (Dollars in thousands) ----------- ----------------------- 2009 $328 2010 $260 2011 $65 Thereafter - 13 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-lived assets, such as premises and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. On December 31 of each year, goodwill is tested for impairment, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset's fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Currently, and historically, the Company is comprised of only one reporting unit that operates within the business segment it has identified as "community banking". Income Taxes The Company's accounting for income taxes is based on an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of tax assets and liabilities is based on the provisions of enacted tax laws. Stock-Based Compensation The following table shows the number, weighted-average exercise price, intrinsic value, weighted average remaining contractual life, average remaining vesting period, and remaining compensation cost to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of options exercisable, options not yet exercisable, and total options outstanding as of June 30, 2009: Currently Currently Not Total (dollars in thousands except exercise price) Exercisable Exercisable Outstanding Number of options 1,176,438 195,150 1,371,588 Weighted average exercise price $13.80 $20.16 $14.70 Intrinsic value $4,042 $61 $4,103 Weighted average remaining contractual term (yrs.) 2.15 3.21 3.01 The options for 195,150 shares that are not currently exercisable as of June 30, 2009 are expected to vest, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 3.21 years, and the Company is expected to recognize $1,400,000 of compensation costs related to these options as they vest. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely from outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. 14 Earnings per share have been computed based on the following: Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30, 2009 2008 2009 2008 (in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------ Net income $2,512 $2,274 $5,394 $6,322 Average number of common shares outstanding 15,783 15,745 15,779 15,793 Effect of dilutive stock options 214 208 229 225 --------------------------------------------------- Average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share 15,997 15,953 16,008 16,018 =================================================== There were 553,000 and 658,000 options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because the effect of these options was antidilutive. There were 553,000 and 541,000 options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because the effect of these options was antidilutive. Comprehensive Income Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are as follows: Three months ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 (in thousands) --------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale securities ($1,988) ($5,185) $460 ($2,464) Tax effect 836 2,180 194 1,036 --------------------------------------------------------- Unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax ($1,152) ($3,005) $266 ($1,428) ========================================================= The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), included in shareholders' equity, are as follows: June 30, December 31, 2009 2008 ---------------------- (in thousands) Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities $6,590 $6,131 Tax effect (2,771) (2,578) ---------------------- Unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities, net of tax 3,819 3,553 ---------------------- Minimum pension liability (2,677) (2,677) Tax effect 1,126 1,126 ---------------------- Minimum pension liability, net of tax (1,551) (1,551) Joint beneficiary agreement liability 94 94 Tax effect (40) (40) --------------------- Joint beneficiary agreement liability, net of tax 54 54 --------------------- Accumulated other comprehensive income $2,322 $2,056 ===================== 15 Retirement Plans The Company has supplemental retirement plans for current and former directors and key executives. These plans are non-qualified defined benefit plans and are unsecured and unfunded. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of the participants and intends (but is not required) to use the cash values of these policies to pay the retirement obligations. The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost recognized for the plans: Three Months Six Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, ---------------- --------------- (in thousands) 2009 2008 2009 2008 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net pension cost included the following components: Service cost-benefits earned during the period $99 $139 $198 $278 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 174 166 348 332 Amortization of net obligation at transition - - - - Amortization of prior service cost 38 45 76 90 Recognized net actuarial loss 25 37 50 74 ------------------------------------ Net periodic pension cost $336 $387 $672 $774 ==================================== During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company contributed and paid out as benefits $388,000 and $314,000, respectively, to participants under the plans. For the year ending December 31, 2009, the Company currently expects to contribute and pay out as benefits $730,000 to participants under the plans. Fair Value Measurement The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale and mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets. The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are: Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets. 16 The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2009, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, or the appraised value contains a significant assumption, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions is used in the completion of the fair value measurement. While the prepayment speed assumption is currently quoted for comparable instruments, the discount rate assumption currently requires a significant degree of management judgment. As such, the Company classifies mortgage servicing rights subjected to recurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. Goodwill and identified intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. A projected cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment as there are unobservable inputs for these assets. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Company classifies goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): Fair value at June 30, 2009 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Securities available-for-sale $252,104 - $252,104 - Mortgage servicing rights 3,895 - - $3,895 ----------------------------------------- Total assets measured at fair value $255,999 - $252,104 $3,895 ========================================= The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (in thousands): Fair value at June 30, 2009 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Impaired loans $40,094 - - $40,094 ---------------------------------------- Total assets measured at fair value $40,094 - - $40,094 ======================================== The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practical to estimate that value. Cash and due from banks, fed funds purchased and sold, accrued interest receivable and payable, and short-term borrowings are considered short-term instruments. For these short-term instruments their carrying amount approximates their fair value. Securities For all securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Loans The fair value of variable rate loans is the current carrying value. The interest rates on these loans are regularly adjusted to market rates. The fair value of other types of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. The allowance for loan losses is a reasonable estimate of the valuation allowance needed to adjust computed fair values for credit quality of certain loans in the portfolio. Cash Value of Life Insurance The fair values of insurance policies owned are based on the insurance contract's cash surrender value. 17 Deposit Liabilities and Long-Term Debt The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. These values do not consider the estimated fair value of the Company's core deposit intangible, which is a significant unrecognized asset of the Company. The fair value of time deposits and debt is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased or Sold For short-term instruments, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased or sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Other Borrowings The fair value of other borrowings is calculated based on the discounted value of the contractual cash flows using current rates at which such borrowings can currently be obtained. Junior Subordinated Debentures The fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. The future cash flows of these instruments are extended to the next available redemption date or maturity date as appropriate based upon the spreads of recent issuances or quotes from brokers for comparable bank holding companies compared to the contractual spread of each junior subordinated debenture measured at fair value. Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counter parties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counter parties at the reporting date. Fair values for financial instruments are management's estimates of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets are not considered financial assets including, any mortgage banking operations, deferred tax assets, and premises and equipment. Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: June 30, 2009 December 31, 2008 -------------------------- ---------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value (in thousands) -------------------------- ---------------------------- Financial assets: Cash and due from banks $55,071 $55,071 $64,375 $64,375 Cash at Federal Reserve and other banks 127,852 127,852 21,980 21,980 Securities available-for-sale 252,104 252,104 266,561 266,561 Federal Home Loan Bank stock, at cost 9,274 9,274 9,235 9,235 Loans, net 1,518,611 1,551,729 1,563,259 1,623,697 Cash value of life insurance 47,365 47,365 46,815 46,815 Accrued interest receivable 7,575 7,575 7,935 7,935 Financial liabilities: Deposits 1,737,385 1,696,777 1,669,270 1,646,561 Accrued interest payable 5,094 5,094 6,146 6,146 Federal funds purchased - - - - Other borrowings 73,898 78,685 102,005 101,681 Junior subordinated debt 41,238 17,097 41,238 21,856 Contract Fair Contract Fair Off-balance sheet: Amount Value Amount Value -------------------------- -------- ------ Commitments $614,022 $6,140 $637,940 $6,379 Standby letters of credit 7,424 74 5,425 54 Overdraft privilege commitments 37,825 378 35,883 359 18 Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet through August 7, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS157-2 (FSP 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP SFAS 157-2 delayed the Company's January 1, 2008, effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The hierarchical guidance provided by SFAS 162 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 157-4 (FSP SFAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. FSP SFAS 157-4 also amended SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 157-4 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of FSP SFAS 157-4 did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements. In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity's management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 did not significantly impact the Company's financial statements. 19 In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by SFAS 107. The new interim disclosures required by FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are included in the Company's interim financial statements beginning with the second quarter of 2009. In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 is effective with interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The objective of SFAS 165 is to establish general standards for the accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, SFAS 165 sets forth (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. 20 TRICO BANCSHARES Financial Summary (In thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited) Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------------------------------ 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Net Interest Income (FTE) $23,288 $23,029 $46,439 $44,575 Provision for loan losses (7,850) (8,800) (15,650) (12,900) Noninterest income 7,996 7,280 14,611 14,130 Noninterest expense (19,344) (17,844) (36,545) (35,417) Provision for income taxes (FTE) (1,578) (1,391) (3,461) (4,066) ------------------------------------------------ Net income $2,512 $2,274 $5,394 $6,322 ================================================ Earnings per share: Basic $0.16 $0.14 $0.34 $0.40 Diluted $0.16 $0.14 $0.34 $0.39 Per share: Dividends paid $0.13 $0.13 $0.26 $0.26 Book value at period end $12.67 $11.86 Tangible book value at period end $11.66 $10.81 Average common shares outstanding 15,783 15,745 15,779 15,793 Average diluted shares outstanding 15,997 15,953 16,008 16,018 Shares outstanding at period end 15,783 15,745 At period end: Loans, net $1,518,611 $1,519,043 Total assets 2,087,841 1,980,490 Total deposits 1,737,385 1,511,053 Other borrowings 73,898 85,048 Junior subordinated debt 41,238 41,238 Shareholders' equity $199,979 $186,686 Financial Ratios: During the period (annualized): Return on assets 0.48% 0.46% 0.52% 0.64% Return on equity 4.94% 4.74% 5.32% 6.56% Net interest margin(1) 4.82% 5.06% 4.86% 4.90% Net loan charge-offs to average loans 1.80% 1.01% 1.23% 0.77% Efficiency ratio(1) 61.83% 58.87% 59.86% 60.33% At Period End: Equity to assets 9.58% 9.43% Total capital to risk-adjusted assets 12.87% 12.26% Allowance for losses to loans(2) 2.37% 1.80% (1) Fully taxable equivalent (FTE).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations As TriCo Bancshares (the "Company") has not commenced any business operations independent of Tri Counties Bank (the "Bank"), the following discussion pertains primarily to the Bank. Average balances, including such balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances for the Company. Within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, interest income and net interest income are generally presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis. The presentation of interest income and net interest income on a FTE basis is a common practice within the banking industry. Interest income and net interest income are shown on a non-FTE basis in the Part I - Financial Information section of this Form 10-Q, and a reconciliation of the FTE and non-FTE presentations is provided below in the discussion of net interest income. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, intangible assets, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (See caption "Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed discussion). Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company and the Bank's financial condition, operating results, asset and liability management, liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto located at Item 1 of this report. Following is a summary of the components of fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") net income for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, --------------------------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 --------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income (FTE) $23,288 $23,029 $46,439 $44,575 Provision for loan losses (7,850) (8,800) (15,650) (12,900) Noninterest income 7,996 7,280 14,611 14,130 Noninterest expense (19,344) (17,844) (36,545) (35,417) Provision for income taxes (FTE) (1,578) (1,391) (3,461) (4,066) --------------------------------------------- Net income $2,512 $2,274 $5,394 $6,322 ============================================= The Company had quarterly earnings of $2,512,000, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This represents an increase of $238,000 (10.5%) when compared with earnings of $2,274,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased 14.3% to $0.16 compared to $0.14 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The Company reported earnings of $5,394,000, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. These results represent a decrease of $928,000 (14.7%) when compared with earnings of $6,322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 12.8% to $0.34 compared to $0.39 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. 22 Net Interest Income The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income, or the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Following is a summary of the components of net interest income for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ----------------------------------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ----------------------------------------------------- Interest income $28,432 $30,332 $57,314 $61,462 Interest expense (5,286) (7,471) (11,170) (17,236) FTE adjustment 142 168 295 349 ------------------------------------------------------ Net interest income (FTE) $23,288 $23,029 $46,439 $44,575 ====================================================== Average interest-earning assets $1,933,633 $1,819,222 $1,910,377 $1,818,217 Net interest margin (FTE) 4.82% 5.06% 4.86% 4.90% Net interest income (FTE) during the second quarter of 2009 increased $259,000 (1.1%) from the same period in 2008 to $23,288,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to an $114,411,000 (6.3%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $1,933,633,000 that was partially offset by a 0.24% decrease in net interest margin (FTE) to 4.82% from the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net interest income (FTE) during the first six months of 2009 increased $1,864,000 (4.2%) from the same period in 2008 to $46,439,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to a $92,160,000 (5.1%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $1,910,377,000 that was partially offset by a 0.04% decrease in net interest margin (FTE) to 4.86% from 4.90% from the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Interest and Fee Income Interest and fee income (FTE) for the second quarter of 2009 decreased $1,926,000 (6.3%) from the second quarter of 2008. The decrease was due to a 0.80% decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.91% that was partially offset by a $114,411,000 (6.3%) increase in average interest-earning assets to $1,933,633,000. The growth in average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a $109,805,000 increase in average balance of interest-earning cash at the Federal Reserve and other banks. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a 0.51% decrease in yield on loans to 6.48% and the large increase in interest-bearing cash balances that earned only 0.20% during the quarter. Interest and fee income (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $4,202,000 (6.8%) from the same period of 2008. The decrease was due to a 0.77% decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 6.03% that was partially offset by a $92,160,000 (5.1%) increase in average interest-earning assets to $1,910,377,000. The growth in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $20,257,000 (1.3%) increase in average loan balances to $1,561,064,000, and a $77,592,000 increase in average balance of interest-earning cash at the Federal Reserve and other banks. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a 0.61% decrease in yield on loans to 6.50% and the large increase in interest-bearing cash balances that earned only 0.20% during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in loan yields from the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly due to a 4.00% decrease in the prime lending rate from 7.25% at December 31, 2007 to 3.25% at June 30, 2009. 23 Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $2,185,000 (29.2%) to $5,286,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $72,837,000 (5.1%) to $1,489,202,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to increased deposits of $214,226,000 (18.5%) offset by a decrease of $141,389,000 in the average balances of Federal funds purchased and other borrowings, respectively, from the second quarter of 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased 0.69% to 1.42% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as a result of lower market rates for almost all types of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense decreased $6,066,000 (35.2%) to $11,170,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $17,236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $53,730,000 (3.8%) to $1,465,509,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to increased deposits of $189,529,000 (16.4%) offset by a decrease of $135,799,000 in the average balances of Federal funds purchased and other borrowings from the six months ended June 30, 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the six month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased 0.92% to 1.52% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of lower market rates for almost all types of interest-bearing liabilities. Net Interest Margin (FTE) The following table summarizes the components of the Company's net interest margin for the periods indicated: Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------------------------ 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------ Yield on interest-earning assets 5.91% 6.71% 6.03% 6.80% Rate paid on interest-bearing Liabilities 1.42% 2.11% 1.52% 2.44% ------------------------------------------ Net interest spread 4.49% 4.60% 4.51% 4.36% Impact of all other net noninterest-bearing funds 0.33% 0.46% 0.35% 0.54% ------------------------------------------ Net interest margin 4.82% 5.06% 4.86% 4.90% ========================================== Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 0.24% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in net interest margin was mainly due to a 0.13% decrease in the impact of net noninterest-bearing funds to 0.33% and a decrease of 0.11% in net interest spread compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 0.80% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 0.69% from the three months ended June 30, 2008. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased 0.04% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in net interest margin was mainly due to a 0.19% decrease in the impact of net noninterest-bearing funds to 0.35% offset by an increase of 0.15% in net interest spread compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 0.77% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 0.92% from the six months ended June 30, 2008. 24 Summary of Average Balances, Yields/Rates and Interest Differential The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information regarding the Company's consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity, the amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resulting yields, and the amount of interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Average loan balances include nonperforming loans. Interest income includes proceeds from loans on nonaccrual loans only to the extent cash payments have been received and applied to interest income. Yields on securities and certain loans have been adjusted upward to reflect the effect of income thereon exempt from federal income taxation at the current statutory tax rate (dollars in thousands).

Changes not solely attributable to volume or rates have been allocated in proportion to the respective volume and rate components (dollars in thousands). Three months ended June 30, 2009 compared with three months ended June 30, 2008 -------------------------------- Volume Rate Total -------------------------------- Increase (decrease) in interest income: Loans $166 $(1,963) $(1,797) Investment securities (63) (120) (183) Cash at Federal Reserve and other banks 469 (415) 54 -------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets 572 (2,498) (1,926) -------------------------------- Increase (decrease) in interest expense: Interest-bearing demand deposits 43 267 310 Savings deposits 98 (511) (413) Time deposits 892 (1,661) (769) Federal funds purchased (711) - (711) Other borrowings (69) (343) (412) Junior subordinated debt - (190) (190) ------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 254 (2,439) (2,185) ------------------------------- Increase in Net Interest Income $318 $(59) $259 =============================== Six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with six months ended June 30, 2008 ------------------------------- Volume Rate Total ------------------------------- Increase (decrease) in interest income: Loans $720 $(4,730) $(4,010) Investment securities (145) (121) (266) Cash at Federal Reserve and other banks 919 (845) 74 ------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets 1,494 (5,696) (4,202) ------------------------------- Increase (decrease) in interest expense: Interest-bearing demand deposits 54 511 565 Savings deposits 185 (1,207) (1,022) Time deposits 1,955 (4,345) (2,390) Federal funds purchased (1,523) - (1,523) Other borrowings (316) (917) (1,233) Junior subordinated debt - (463) (463) ------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 352 (6,418) (6,066) ------------------------------- Increase in Net Interest Income $1,142 $722 $1,864 =============================== Provision for Loan Losses The Company provided $7,850,000 for loan losses in the second quarter of 2009 versus $8,800,000 in the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $7,000,000 of net loan charge-offs versus $3,902,000 of net loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2008. In addition, net charge-offs of $2,236,000 on home equity lines and loans and $504,000 on auto indirect loans were taken during the second quarter of 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company also increased its allowance for loan losses by $850,000 from the first quarter of 2009 with such additional reserves allocated primarily to consumer loans, residential real estate and construction lending. The Company provided $15,650,000 for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus $12,900,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $9,616,000 of net loan charge-offs versus $5,950,000 of net loan charge-offs in the six months ended June 30, 2008. A total net of $3,644,000 in home equity lines and loans and $1,033,000 on auto indirect loans have been charged-off during the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses by $6,034,000 from December 31, 2008 with such additional reserves allocated primarily to consumer loans, residential real estate and construction lending. 27 Noninterest Income The following table summarizes the components of noninterest income for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------------------------------ 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Service charges on deposit accounts $4,136 $3,963 $7,721 $7,801 ATM fees and interchange revenue 1,222 1,168 2,320 2,247 Other service fees 553 527 1,095 1,078 Change in value of mortgage servicing rights 271 168 98 (172) Gain on sale of loans 948 316 1,589 574 Commissions on sale of nondeposit investment products 492 525 981 945 Increase in cash value of life insurance 270 360 550 720 Gain from VISA IPO - - - 396 Other noninterest income 104 253 257 541 ----------------------------------------------- Total noninterest income $7,996 $7,280 $14,611 $14,130 =============================================== Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2009 increased $716,000 (9.8%) from the second quarter of 2008, mainly due to a $632,000 (200%) increase in gain on sale of loans to $948,000. Also contributing to the increase in noninterest income was a $173,000 (4.4%) increase in service charges on deposit accounts to $4,136,000, and a $103,000 (61.3%) increase in the change in value of mortgage servicing rights to $271,000. These increases were offset a decrease of $90,000 (25.0%) in the cash value of life insurance to $270,000 and a decrease in other noninterest income of $149,000 (58.9%) to $104,000. The increases in service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees and interchange revenue were primarily due to increased numbers of customers. The increase in gain on sale of loans is primarily due to increased refinancing activity during the quarter. The improvement in change in value of mortgage servicing rights is primarily due to a decrease in refinance activity at the end of the quarter which extends the estimated life of new mortgages and enhances the value of the related mortgage servicing rights. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $481,000 (3.4%) to $14,611,000 from the same period in 2008. The increase in noninterest income from the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly due to a $1,015,000 gain on sale of loans to $1,589,000 (177%), offset by a decrease of $170,000 in the cash value of life insurance to $550,000 (23.6%) and a decrease in the gain on VISA IPO of $396,000 (100%) to $0. The increase in gain on sale of loans is primarily due to increased refinancing activity in the low interest rate environment that existed for most of the six month period ended June 30, 2009. 28 Noninterest Expense The following table summarizes the components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ------------------------------------------------ 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Base salaries, net of deferred loan origination costs $6,568 $6,316 $13,144 $12,649 Incentive compensation 1,024 830 1,612 1,390 Benefits and other compensation costs 2,477 2,499 5,102 5,086 ------------------------------------------------ Total salaries and related benefits 10,069 9,645 19,858 19,125 ------------------------------------------------ Occupancy 1,269 1,228 2,504 2,416 Equipment 905 998 1,822 1,980 Telecommunications 433 630 765 1,227 Data processing and software 686 596 1,304 1,211 Provisions for losses - unfunded commitments 400 550 575 1,375 ATM network charges 589 529 1,105 1,023 Professional fees 423 509 734 1,002 Advertising and marketing 514 434 912 753 Courier service 100 275 273 538 Postage 228 216 507 498 Intangible amortization 64 133 198 256 Operational losses 90 92 127 205 Provision for OREO losses - - 162 - Assessments 1,288 83 1,590 165 Other 2,286 1,926 4,109 3,643 ------------------------------------------------ Total other noninterest expense 9,275 8,199 16,687 16,292 ------------------------------------------------ Total noninterest expense $19,344 $17,844 $36,545 $35,417 ================================================ Average full time equivalent staff 639 626 630 626 Noninterest expense to revenue (FTE) 61.83% 58.87% 59.86% 60.33% Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 increased $1,500,000 (8.4%) compared to the second quarter of 2008. Salaries and benefits expense increased $424,000 (4.4%) to $10,069,000 mainly due to annual salary increases, increased FTE and increased incentive compensation expense related to increased production of sold loans. Other noninterest expense increased $1,076,000 (13.1%) primarily due to a $1,205,000 (1452%) increase in assessments. The FDIC special assessment, which is due on September 30, 2009 and recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, totaled $933,000. The remainder of the increase in assessments is due to increasing deposits and premium rates on FDIC insurance. The increase in assessments was partially offset by decreases in telecommunications of $197,000 (31.3%) to $433,000 and courier service of $175,000 (63.6%) to $100,000. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $1,128,000 (3.2%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008. Salaries and benefits expense increased $733,000 (3.8%) to $19,858,000 mainly due to annual salary increases, increased FTE and increased incentive compensation expense related to increased production of sold loans. Other noninterest expense increased $395,000 (2.4%) primarily due to assessments increasing $1,425,000 (864%) to $1,590,000 offset by a decrease of $800,000 (58.2%) in provision for losses on unfunded commitments to $575,000 and a decrease in telecommunications by $462,000 (37.7%) to $765,000. Provision for Income Tax The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 36.4% and reflects an increase from 35.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 37.0% and reflects no change from 37.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The provision for income taxes for all periods presented is primarily attributable to the respective level of earnings and the incidence of allowable deductions, particularly from increase in cash value of life insurance, tax-exempt loans and state and municipal securities. 29 Classified Assets The Company closely monitors the markets in which it conducts its lending operations and continues its strategy to control exposure to loans with high credit risk. Asset reviews are performed using grading standards and criteria similar to those employed by bank regulatory agencies. Assets receiving lesser grades fall under the "classified assets" category, which includes all nonperforming assets and potential problem loans, and receive an elevated level of attention regarding collection. The following is a summary of classified assets on the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): At June 30, 2009 At December 31, 2008 -------------------------- ------------------------- Gross Guaranteed Net Gross Guaranteed Net ------------------------------------------------------- Classified loans $100,865 $4,884 $95,981 63,850 $5,379 $58,471 Other classified assets 2,622 - 2,622 1,185 1,185 ------------------------------------------------------- Total classified assets $103,487 $4,884 $98,603 $65,035 $5,379 $59,656 ======================================================= Allowance for loan losses/classified loans 35.0% 47.2% Classified assets, net of guarantees of the U.S. Government, including its agencies and its government-sponsored agencies, increased $38,947,000 (65%) to $98,603,000 at June 30, 2009 from $59,656,000 at December 31, 2008. Nonperforming Loans Loans are reviewed on an individual basis for reclassification to nonaccrual status when any one of the following occurs: the loan becomes 90 days past due as to interest or principal, the full and timely collection of additional interest or principal becomes uncertain, the loan is classified as doubtful by internal credit review or bank regulatory agencies, a portion of the principal balance has been charged off, or the Company takes possession of the collateral. Loans that are placed on nonaccrual even though the borrowers continue to repay the loans as scheduled are classified as "performing nonaccrual" and are included in total nonperforming loans. The reclassification of loans as nonaccrual does not necessarily reflect Management's judgment as to whether they are collectible. Interest income is not accrued on loans where Management has determined that the borrowers will be unable to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, any previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of Management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Interest income on nonaccrual loans, which would have been recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, if all such loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, totaled $2,186,000 and $952,000, respectively. Interest income actually recognized on these loans during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $605,000 and $415,000, respectively. The Company's policy is to place loans 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status. In some instances when a loan is 90 days past due Management does not place it on nonaccrual status because the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered to be in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, it is expected that the loan will be repaid or brought current. Generally, this collection period would not exceed 30 days. Loans where the collateral has been repossessed are classified as OREO or, if the collateral is personal property, the loan is classified as other assets on the Company's financial statements. Management considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. Alternatives that are considered are foreclosure, collecting on guarantees, restructuring the loan or collection lawsuits. 30 As shown in the following table, total nonperforming assets net of guarantees of the U.S. Government, including its agencies and its government-sponsored agencies, increased $17,285,000 (60%) to $45,995,000 during the first six months of 2009. Nonperforming assets net of guarantees represent 2.20% of total assets. All nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired when determining the need for a specific valuation allowance. The Company continues to make a concerted effort to work problem and potential problem loans to reduce risk of loss.

The Company adopted and announced a stock repurchase plan on August 21, 2007 for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock from time to time as market conditions allow. The 500,000 shares authorized for repurchase under this plan represented approximately 3.2% of the Company's approximately 15,815,000 common shares outstanding as of August 21, 2007. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended June 30, 2009. This plan has no stated expiration date for the repurchases. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had repurchased 166,600 shares under this plan, which left 333,400 shares available for repurchase under the plan. The Company's primary capital resource is shareholders' equity, which was $199,979,000 at June 30, 2009. This amount represents an increase of $2,047,000 from December 31, 2008, the net result of comprehensive income for the period of $5,660,000, the effect of stock option vesting of $262,000, the exercise of stock options for $828,000 and the tax benefit from the exercise of stock options of $53,000 that were partially offset by the repurchase of common stock with value of $652,000, and dividends paid of $4,104,000. The Company's ratio of equity to total assets was 9.58%, 9.43% and 9.69% as of June 30, 2009, June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2008, respectively. The following summarizes the ratios of capital to risk-adjusted assets for the periods indicated: At June 30, At Minimum ----------------- December 31, Regulatory 2009 2008 2008 Requirement ------------------------------------------------- Tier I Capital 11.61% 11.01% 11.17% 4.00% Total Capital 12.87% 12.26% 12.42% 8.00% Leverage ratio 10.68% 10.80% 11.09% 4.00% 31 Liquidity The discussion of "Liquidity" under Item 3 of this report is incorporated herein by reference. Off-Balance Sheet Items The Bank has certain ongoing commitments under operating and capital leases. These commitments do not significantly impact operating results. As of June 30, 2009 commitments to extend credit and commitments related to the Bank's deposit overdraft privilege product were the Bank's only financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The Bank has not entered into any contracts for financial derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options, etc. Commitments to extend credit were $621,446,000 and $643,365,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and represent 40.0% of the total loans outstanding at June 30, 2009 and 40.4% at December 31, 2008. Commitments related to the Bank's deposit overdraft privilege product totaled $37,825,000 and $35,883,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. 32 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Asset and Liability Management The goal for managing the assets and liabilities of the Company is to maximize shareholder value and earnings while maintaining a high quality balance sheet without exposing the Company to undue interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the Company's interest rate risk management policies. The Company has an Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) which establishes and monitors guidelines to control the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. Activities involved in asset/liability management include but are not limited to lending, accepting and placing deposits, investing in securities and issuing debt. Interest rate risk is the primary market risk associated with asset/liability management. Sensitivity of earnings to interest rate changes arises when yields on assets change in a different time period or in a different amount from that of interest costs on liabilities. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the balance sheet is managed with the goal that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities are correlated and contribute to earnings even in periods of volatile interest rates. The asset/liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of variance in net interest margin, net income and market value of equity under changing interest environments. Market value of equity is the net present value of estimated cash flows from the Company's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The Company uses simulation models to forecast net interest margin, net income and market value of equity. Simulation of net interest margin, net income and market value of equity under various interest rate scenarios is the primary tool used to measure interest rate risk. Using computer-modeling techniques, the Company is able to estimate the potential impact of changing interest rates on net interest margin, net income and market value of equity. A balance sheet forecast is prepared using inputs of actual loan, securities and interest-bearing liability (i.e. deposits/borrowings) positions as the beginning base. In the simulation of net interest margin and net income under various interest rate scenarios, the forecast balance sheet is processed against seven interest rate scenarios. These seven interest rate scenarios include a flat rate scenario, which assumes interest rates are unchanged in the future, and six additional rate ramp scenarios ranging from +300 to -300 basis points around the flat scenario in 100 basis point increments. These ramp scenarios assume that interest rates increase or decrease evenly (in a "ramp" fashion) over a twelve-month period and remain at the new levels beyond twelve months. In the simulation of market value of equity under various interest rate scenarios, the forecast balance sheet is processed against seven interest rate scenarios. These seven interest rate scenarios include the flat rate scenario described above, and six additional rate shock scenarios ranging from +300 to -300 basis points around the flat scenario in 100 basis point increments. These rate shock scenarios assume that interest rates increase or decrease immediately (in a "shock" fashion) and remain at the new level in the future. At June 30, 2009, the results of the simulations noted above indicate that given a "flat" balance sheet scenario, and if deposit rates track general interest rate changes by approximately 50%, the Company's balance sheet is slightly liability sensitive. "Liability sensitive" implies that earnings decrease when interest rates rise, and increase when interest rates decrease. The magnitude of all the simulation results noted above is within the Bank's policy guidelines. The asset liability management policy limits aggregate market risk, as measured in this fashion, to an acceptable level within the context of risk-return trade-offs. The simulation results noted above do not incorporate any management actions, which might moderate the negative consequences of interest rate deviations. Therefore, they do not reflect likely actual results, but serve as conservative estimates of interest rate risk. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no material derivative financial instruments. 33 Liquidity The Company's principal source of asset liquidity is cash at Federal Reserve and other banks and marketable investment securities available for sale. At June 30, 2009, cash at Federal Reserve and other banks and investment securities available for sale totaled $379,956,000, representing an increase of $91,415,000 (31.7%) from December 31, 2008, and an increase of $126,827,000 (50.1%) from June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company generates additional liquidity from its operating activities. The Company's profitability during the first six months of 2009 generated cash flows from operations of $19,150,000 compared to $15,611,000 during the first six months of 2008. Additional cash flows may be provided by financing activities, primarily the acceptance of deposits and borrowings from banks. Sales and maturities of investment securities produced cash inflows of $44,126,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $26,883,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company invested $29,435,000 in securities and received $26,722,000 of net loan principal reductions, compared to $50,463,000 invested in securities and $1,667,000 of net loan principal reductions, respectively, during the first six months of 2008. These changes in investment and loan balances contributed to net cash provided by investing activities of $41,285,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $23,333,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Financing activities provided net cash of $36,133,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4,418,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Deposit balance increases accounted for $68,115,000 of financing sources of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $34,170,000 of funds used by decreases in deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2008. A net decrease in short-term other borrowings accounted for $28,068,000 of financing uses of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $31,039,000 of funds used by a decrease in short-term other borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Dividends paid used $4,104,000 and $4,099,000 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Federal funds did not use or provide cash during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to an increase of Federal funds purchased providing $67,750,000 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Also, the Company's liquidity is dependent on dividends received from the Bank. Dividends from the Bank are subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Item 4. Controls and Procedures The Chief Executive Officer, Richard Smith, and the Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Reddish, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2009 ("Evaluation Date"). Based on that evaluation, they each concluded that as of the Evaluation Date the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act during the second quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 34 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1 - Legal Proceedings Due to the nature of the banking business, the Bank is at times party to various legal actions; all such actions are of a routine nature and arise in the normal course of business of the Bank.
