NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

SI Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company for Savings Institute Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). Established in 1842, the Bank is a community-oriented financial institution headquartered in Willimantic, Connecticut. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals, businesses and municipalities through its twenty-one offices in eastern Connecticut. Its primary products include savings, checking and certificate of deposit accounts, residential and commercial mortgage loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans. In addition, wealth management services, which include trust, financial planning, life insurance and investment services, are offered to individuals and businesses. The Company does not conduct any material business other than owning all of the stock of the Bank and paying interest on its subordinated debentures.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, 803 Financial Corp., SI Mortgage Company and SI Realty Company, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been omitted. Information in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K.

Interim financial statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period covered herein. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 2009.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the statement of financial condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, deferred income taxes and the impairment of long-lived assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Company’s 2008 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net (loss) income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™. The Codification was officially launched on July 1, 2009, and became the primary source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuance of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that will be included in the Codification. As the Codification is neither expected nor intended to change GAAP, the Company’s adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 825 regarding interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. This guidance requires a company to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly-traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and amends prior guidance to require these disclosures in summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 855 regarding subsequent events. This new guidance is based on the same principles that exist within the existing standards and thus formally establishes accounting standards for disclosing those events occurring after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, (“SFAS”) No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 amends FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS 140”). Under FASB ASC 105-10-65-1-d, SFAS 166 will remain authoritative until integrated into the Codification. This Statement shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of the Statement shall be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. This Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SI FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

In April 2009, new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 820, regarding 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, 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. FASB ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. The adoption of the new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 820 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 for more details.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 under FASB ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (1) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (2) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (3) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of FASB ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 820 will be effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, new authoritative guidance was issued under FASB ASC Topic 320, regarding recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments which amends the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This guidance does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. Declines in the fair value of debt securities below their amortized cost basis that are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired are recognized in earnings to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of the new authoritative guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $2.7 million (net of taxes) to retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Notes 3 and 6 for more details.

Effective January 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”or “Codification”) Topic 350 regarding the useful life of intangible assets. This new authoritative guidance amends the list of factors that should be considered in developing renewal extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under superseded content. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 260, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. It affects entities that accrue or pay nonforfeitable cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service periods. All prior-period earnings

per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of this guidance. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 for more details.

Effective January 2009, new authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 805, which relates to business combinations became applicable to the Company’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009. This guidance applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. This guidance requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. In April 2009, a further update in relation to accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which amends the previous guidance to require contingent assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the measurement period. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated during the measurement period, the contingent asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, which relates to contingencies. The adoption of this guidance would apply prospectively to any future business combinations and may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when any business combination may occur.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed in a manner similar to basic net income (loss) per share except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. The Company’s common stock equivalents relate solely to stock options. Treasury shares and unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Anti-dilutive shares are common stock equivalents with weighted-average exercise prices in excess of the weighted-average market value for the periods presented. The Company had anti-dilutive shares outstanding of 468,837 and 473,271 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, and 500,370 and 501,608 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The computation of earnings per share is as follows:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320. In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time.

At September 30, 2009, forty debt securities with gross unrealized losses have aggregate depreciation of 16.1% of the Company’s amortized cost basis. The following summarizes, by security type, the basis for management’s determination during the preparation of the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 of whether the applicable investments within the Company’s available for sale portfolio were other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009, and if so, the amount of the OTTI that represents credit losses versus all other factors.

Debt Securities:

U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. The mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.

Mortgage-backed Securities.

Agency—residential. The unrealized losses on the Company’s agency–residential mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in the rate spread to comparable treasury securities. The Company does not expect these securities to settle at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before the recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.

Non-agency—residential. The unrealized losses on the Company’s non-agency-residential mortgage-backed securities are primarily due to the fact that these securities continue to trade well below historic levels, particularly those backed by jumbo or hybrid loan collateral. In particular, six non-agency mortgage-backed securities that displayed market pricing significantly below book value, are rated below investment grade. At September 30, 2009, management evaluated credit rating details for the tranche, as well as credit information on subordinate tranches, potential future credit losses and loss analyses. The Bank previously recorded OTTI losses on one of these non-agency mortgage-backed securities totaling $489,000 related to credit. Based on the existing credit profile, management does not believe that these investments will suffer from any further credit related losses. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not record additional impairment losses at September 30, 2009.

Non-agency—HELOC. The unrealized loss on the Company’s non-agency—HELOC mortgage-backed security is related to one security whose market is now illiquid. This security is collateralized by

SI FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

home equity lines of credit secured by first and second liens and insured by Financial Security Assurance. At September 30, 2009, management evaluated credit rating details, collateral support and loss analyses. All of the unrealized losses on this security relate to factors other than credit. Because the Company does not intend to sell this investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this investment before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not record additional impairment loss at September 30, 2009.

Collateralized Debt Obligations. The unrealized losses on the Company’s collateralized debt obligations related to investments in pooled trust preferred securities (“PTPS”). The PTPS market continues to experience significant declines in market value as a result of market saturation. Transactions for PTPS have been limited and have occurred primarily as a result of distressed or forced liquidation sales.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s PTPS investments were caused by a lack of liquidity. The increased number of bank and insurance company failures has decreased the level of credit support for these investments. A number of lower tranche income issues have forgone payments or have received payment in kind through increased principal allocations. No loss of principal or break in yield is projected. Management evaluated current credit ratings, credit support and stress testing for future defaults related to the Company’s PTPS. Management also reviewed analytics provided by the trustee, reports from third-party sources and internal documents. The Bank previously recorded OTTI losses on five PTPS investments totaling $1.2 million related to credit factors. Based on the existing credit profile, management does not believe that these investments will suffer from any further credit related losses. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not record additional impairment losses at September 30, 2009.

Equity Securities:

The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities consist of common and preferred stock of companies in the financial services sector. Management evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for an anticipated recovery of fair value. Although the issuers have shown declines in earnings as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe that the declines in market value are other-than-temporary at September 30, 2009.

The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 320 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009, which was applied to existing and new debt securities held by the Company as of January 1, 2009. For those debt securities for which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost and the Company does not intend to sell such security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis (which may be at maturity) less any credit losses, the authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 320 requires that the credit component of the OTTI losses be recognized in earnings while the noncredit component is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes. As a result of the adoption of the new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 320, the Company reclassified the noncredit component of the OTTI loss previously recognized in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2008. The reclassification was reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment of $2.7 million ($4.0 million before taxes) that increased retained earnings and increased accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost basis of these debt securities for which OTTI

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

losses were recognized during 2008 were adjusted by the amount of the cumulative effect adjustment before taxes.

As of September 30, 2009, for debt securities with OTTI losses, the Company estimated the portion of loss attributable to credit using a discounted cash flow model in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320. Significant inputs for the non-agency mortgage-backed securities included the estimated cash flows of the underlying collateral based on key assumptions, such as default rate, loss severity and prepayment rate. Assumptions used can vary widely from loan to loan, and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type. Significant inputs for collateralized debt obligations included estimated cash flows and prospective deferrals, defaults and recoveries based on the underlying seniority status and subordination structure of the pooled trust preferred debt tranche at the time of measurement. Prospective deferral, default and recovery estimates affecting projected cash flows were based on an analysis of the underlying financial condition of the individual issuers, with consideration of the account’s capital adequacy, credit quality, lending concentrations and other factors. All cash flow estimates were based on the securities’ tranche structure and contractual rate and maturity terms. The Company utilized the services of a third-party vendor to obtain information about the structure in order to determine how the underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to each security issued from the structure. The present value of the expected cash flows were compared to the Company’s holdings to determine the credit-related impairment loss, if any. To the extent that continued changes in interest rates, credit movements and other factors that influence the fair value of investments occur, the Company may be required to record additional impairment charges for OTTI in future periods.

The following table summarizes OTTI losses on available for sale securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009:

NOTE 7. REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. As a savings and loan holding company regulated by the OTS, the Company is not subject to any separate regulatory capital requirements.

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject and the Bank was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines at each of those dates.

The following is a summary of the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

FASB ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken in the future, in the Company’s tax returns. The initial adoption of the authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2009.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, in future periods, the Company may record a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to the recognition, derecognition or change in measurement of a tax position as a result of new tax positions, changes in management’s judgment about the level of uncertainty of existing tax positions, expiration of open income tax returns due to the statutes of limitation, status of examinations and litigation and legislative activity.

The Company has elected to report future interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to United States federal, state and local income tax examinations by the tax authorities for the years prior to 2006.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair Value Hierarchy

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

Level 1:

Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3:

Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of its financial instruments:

•

Cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of these instruments approximate the fair values.

•

Securities available for sale. The securities measured at fair value in Level 1 are based on quoted market prices in an active exchange market. These securities include certain marketable equity securities. Securities measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. These securities include government-sponsored enterprise obligations, FHLMC and FNMA bonds, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and other securities. Securities measured at fair value in Level 3 include certain

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008

collateralized debt obligations that are backed by trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts and insurance companies. Management determined that an orderly and active market for these securities and similar securities did not exist based on a significant reduction in trading volume and widening spreads relative to historical levels.

•

Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

•

Loans held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated using quoted market prices.

•

Loans receivable. For variable rate loans which reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of fixed-rate loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the year-end rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

•

Accrued interest receivable. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

•

Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, negotiable orders of withdrawal, regular savings, certain money market deposits and mortgagors’ and investors’ escrow accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit and other time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on such deposits.

•

Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The fair value of the advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current FHLB interest rates for advances of similar maturity to a schedule of maturities of such advances.

•

Junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated trust. Based on rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

•

Off-balance sheet instruments. Fair values for off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standings.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, assets and liabilities measured at fair value under FASB ASC Topic 820 on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 310, the Company measures the impairment of loans that are collateral dependent based on the fair value of the collateral (Level 3). The fair value of collateral used by the Company represents the amount expected to be received from the sale of the property, net of selling costs, as determined by an independent, licensed or certified appraiser using observable market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, relevant legal, physical and economic factors.

Summary of Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825 requires the disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value for both interim reporting periods as well as annual financial statements. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparisons to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. FASB ASC Topic 825, excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure

requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The estimated fair value amounts at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 have been measured as of their respective date, and the estimated fair value amounts at December 31, 2008 have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of the consolidated financial statements subsequent to that date. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end. The information presented should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only required for a limited portion of the Company’s assets. Due to the wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimate, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other banks may not be meaningful.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate is less than the current market rate are immaterial at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The Company assumes interest rate risk, which represents the risk that general interest rate levels will change, as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed-rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding changes in the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this document as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This report may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are made in good faith pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts; rather, they are statements based on management’s current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally preceded by terms such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects” and similar expressions.

Management’s ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, including policies of the United States Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area, changes in real estate market values in the Company’s market area and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines. Additional factors that may affect the Company’s results are discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company considers accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses, OTTI of securities, deferred income taxes and the impairment of long-lived assets to be its critical accounting policies. Additional information about the Company’s accounting policies is included in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this document and in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Assets:

Summary. Total assets increased $20.3 million, or 2.4%, to $873.4 million at September 30, 2009, as compared to $853.1 million at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increases of $15.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $11.5 million in available for sale securities, offset by a decrease of $7.9 million in net loans receivable. Available for sale securities increased as a result of the purchase of predominantly mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government and agency obligations and government-sponsored enterprise securities. Despite an increase in residential mortgage loan originations, net loans receivable decreased from the sale of longer-term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and lower commercial mortgage and business loan originations.

Loans Receivable, Net. The net loan portfolio decreased $7.9 million. Loan originations increased $18.6 million during the first nine months of 2009 from the comparable period in 2008. Residential mortgage loan and consumer loan originations increased due to favorable interest rates during the first nine months of 2009, while commercial mortgage and commercial business loan originations decreased as a result of the declining economic environment. Changes in the loan portfolio consisted of the following:

•

Residential Mortgage Loans. Residential mortgage loans decreased $14.9 million, or 4.4%. Contributing to the decrease was the sale of $46.2 million of longer-term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. Loan originations for residential mortgage loans increased $52.1 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

•

Commercial Loans. Multi-family and commercial mortgage loans decreased $3.7 million, or 2.4%. Loan originations for multi-family and commercial mortgage loans were $6.4 million, which represents a decrease of $25.7 million during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Commercial business loans increased $16.5 million, or 20.4%, for 2009 primarily due to the purchase of $27.0 million in USDA and SBA guaranteed loans, offset by a decrease of $12.0 million of loan originations during the first nine months of 2009 compared to the prior year.

•

Consumer Loans. Consumer loans increased $2.8 million during the first nine months of 2009, consisting primarily of an increase in home equity loans. Loan originations for consumer loans were up $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from the comparable period in 2008.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.4 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2008. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased from 0.97% at December 31, 2008 to 0.88% at September 30, 2009. This decrease was due, in part, to the increase in purchased USDA and SBA guaranteed loans, which are fully guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, thus requiring no allowance for loan losses.

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan losses at and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Liabilities:

Summary. Total liabilities increased $15.8 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 2008 to September 30, 2009 primarily as a result of increases in deposits of $34.9 million, offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $16.5 million.

Deposits. Deposits increased $34.9 million, or 5.6%, to $655.5 million at September 30, 2009. Interest-bearing deposits increased $29.7 million, or 5.3%, which included increases in NOW and money market accounts of $23.8 million, certificates of deposit of $6.4 million and noninterest-bearing deposits of $5.2 million. The increase in deposits was due to branch expansion, marketing and promotional initiatives and competitively-priced deposit products.

Borrowings. Borrowings decreased $16.5 million to $131.3 million at September 30, 2009, resulting from net repayments of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Equity:

Summary. Total stockholders’ equity increased $4.5 million from $72.9 million at December 31, 2008 to $77.4 million at September 30, 2009. The increase in equity was primarily attributable to a decrease in net unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities aggregating $4.1 million (net of taxes), offset by net operating losses of $185,000 and stock repurchases of 11,243 shares at a cost of $68,000.

The early adoption of the new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 320 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 required management to separately identify whether OTTI charges totaling $7.1 million that were previously recognized in earnings during the third and fourth quarters of 2008 were related to credit losses or other noncredit factors at the measurement date of impairment. Management determined, based on the present value of expected cash flows in accordance with applicable guidance, that $4.0 million of the $7.1 million in OTTI charges were related to noncredit factors and therefore, recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2.7 million (net of taxes) as an increase to retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company does not intend to sell these impaired securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis of each of these securities, which may be at maturity.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised solely of the unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities, net of taxes. Net unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities, net of taxes, totaled $1.6 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities resulted from a decline in the market value of primarily the debt securities portfolio, which was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets and a component of comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. A majority of the unrealized losses relate to non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not intend to sell such securities and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell such securities prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, less any credit losses.

There continues to be significant contraction of liquidity in the fixed income markets, resulting in a lack of an orderly market for trading and pricing of fixed income securities, with the exception of U.S. treasuries and agencies and top-rated corporate securities. Mortgage-backed securities from private issuers and preferred securities of financial institutions have been negatively impacted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, management determined that certain available for sale securities were impaired and recognized OTTI losses of $150,000. See Item 1. Note 3 for additional details.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

General. The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on the Company’s interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company also generates noninterest income such as service fees on deposits, gains on securities and loan sales, fees from deposit and trust and investment management services, insurance commissions, increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance and other fees. The Company’s noninterest expenses consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, computer and electronic banking services, outside professional services, marketing, FDIC deposit insurance and regulatory assessments and other general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

Summary. The Company recorded net income of $378,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $5.1 million compared to a net loss of $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company reported a net loss of $185,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Lower noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to a $7.1 million OTTI charge on certain investments to reduce their carrying value to fair value. The increase in noninterest income for 2009 was partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expenses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, net interest income increased 3.3% to $6.5 million from $6.2 million and 8.2% to $19.3 million from $17.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The increase in net interest income was due to a lower cost of funds and an increase in the average balance of loans, offset by an increase in the average deposits and a decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income decreased $616,000, or 5.2%, for the third quarter of 2009, despite an increase in average interest-earning assets of $14.3 million to $825.1 million. Average loans increased $16.4 million, and other interest-earning assets increased $6.6 million, offset by a decrease of $8.7 million in average securities. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 40 basis points to 5.36% for the third quarter of 2009 from 5.76% for the same period in 2008.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, interest and dividend income decreased $1.0 million or 2.9% to $33.9 million due to a lower yield earned on interest-earning assets, offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $21.1 million, of which average loans increased $22.6 million. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 31 basis points to 5.53%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $824,000, or 15.0%, to $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2008, as a result of decreases in the rates paid on average deposits and borrowings and a lower average balance of FHLB advances, offset by an increase of $30.9 million in the average balance of deposits.

Interest expense decreased $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, resulting from decreases in the rates paid on deposits and borrowings of 59 basis points and a lower average balance of FHLB advances, offset by an increase in average deposits of $35.1 million. The rates paid on FHLB advances and subordinated debt decreased 21 basis points and 212 basis points, respectively. Interest-bearing liabilities included increases in NOW and money market accounts and certificates of deposit of $23.9 million and $16.6 million, respectively, offset by decreases of $8.6 million and $5.4 million in FHLB advances and savings deposits, respectively.

The following tables set forth information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, resulting yields and rates paid, interest rate spread, net interest margin and the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses increased $467,000 and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Factors that influenced the higher provision for 2009 primarily include an increase in loan charge-offs and the continued weakening of the local and national economy. While the Company has no direct exposure to sub-prime mortgages, declining economic conditions have negatively impacted the residential and commercial construction markets and contributed to the decrease in credit quality for commercial loans. At September 30, 2009, nonperforming loans totaled $6.7 million, compared to $8.5 million at September 30, 2008. Specific reserves relating to nonperforming loans decreased to $721,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $1.2 million at September 30, 2008. Net loan charge-offs were $309,000 and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $326,000 and $429,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in loan charge-offs and the decrease in nonperforming loans and specific reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily resulted from the charge-off of two commercial construction loan relationships aggregating $2.3 million that were previously identified as impaired with established specific reserves.

Noninterest Income (Loss). The following table shows the components of noninterest income (loss) and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Lower noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to a $7.1 million OTTI charge on certain investments to reduce their carrying value to fair value. Service fees decreased as a result of a decrease in overdraft charges on certain deposit products. The Company realized net losses on the sale of bonds of $189,000, offset by gains on the sale of stocks of $62,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company realized a gain of $57,000 and $70,000, respectively, resulting primarily from the sale of mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities, offset by OTTI charges totaling $150,000 on two PTPS. Impairment charges of $47,000 and $383,000 were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of the Bank’s investment in two small business investment company limited partnerships. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $288,000 on death benefit proceeds received from a bank-owned life insurance policy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported a net gain on the sale of loans of $587,000 resulting from the sale of $46.2 million of fixed-rate longer-term residential mortgage loans, compared to a net gain on the sale of loans of $108,000 resulting from the sale of $8.6 million of residential mortgage loans for the same period in 2008.

Noninterest Expenses. The following table shows the components of noninterest expenses and the dollar and percentage changes for the periods presented.

Noninterest expenses increased $445,000 and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008, primarily due to increases in the FDIC assessment, salaries and benefits and computer and electronic banking services. The increase in the 2009 year-to-date FDIC assessment of $801,000 was attributable to the expiration of credits during 2008,

an increase in the assessment rate for 2009 and an FDIC-imposed industry-wide five basis point special assessment totaling $393,000. Higher costs associated with employee benefits, loan origination commissions and related payroll taxes contributed to the increase in salaries and employee benefits. Loan origination commissions increased due to higher residential mortgage loan volume resulting from a decrease in market interest rates. Computer and electronic banking services expense rose as a result of increased telecommunication costs and transaction activity. Lower depreciation expense reduced occupancy and equipment expense.

Income Tax Provision. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s income tax expense increased $1.5 million and $814,000, respectively, due to higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 9.8% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 55.2% and 21.5%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was due primarily to lower pre-tax income and a non-taxable gain on bank-owned life insurance proceeds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and sales, maturities and sales of investment securities and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and loan and security sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on the Company’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.9 million. Interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold totaled $25.5 million, which included a $1.5 million certificate of deposit pledged to support a letter of credit for MasterCard’s settlement guarantee program.

Securities classified as available for sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $174.2 million at September 30, 2009. In addition, at September 30, 2009, the Company had a potential borrowing capacity of $202.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which included overnight lines of credit of $10.0 million. At September 30, 2009, the Company had advances outstanding of $123.1 million and no overnight advances outstanding. The Company believes that its liquid assets combined with the available line from the Federal Home Loan Bank provide adequate liquidity to meet its current financial obligations.

The Company’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase and sale of securities and loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company originated $125.3 million of loans and purchased $64.1 million of securities and $27.0 million of loans. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company originated $141.6 million of loans and purchased $100.8 million of securities and $12.3 million of loans. The Company sold $46.2 million of residential mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The Company utilizes Federal Home Loan Bank advances and deposits to fund asset growth. The Company experienced a net increase in total deposits, including mortgagors’ and investors’ escrow accounts, of $33.0 million and $72.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2009 totaled $206.6 million, or 31.5%, of total deposits. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by the Company and its local competitors and other

factors. The Company generally manages the pricing of its deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposits and commercial banking relationships. Occasionally, the Company offers promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

The Company experienced a net decrease of $16.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 11,243 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $68,000. Additional discussion about the Company’s liquidity and capital resources is contained in Item 7 in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SI Financial Group, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, SI Financial Group is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders and paying the obligations on its outstanding debentures. SI Financial Group also has repurchased shares of its common stock. SI Financial Group’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to SI Financial Group in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the OTS but with prior notice to the OTS, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At September 30, 2009, SI Financial Group had cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million.

Payments Due Under Contractual Obligations

Information relating to payments due under contractual obligations is presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. There were no material changes in the Company’s payments due under contractual obligations between December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded on its financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, lines of credit and letters of credit.

The contractual amount of commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer defaults and the value of any existing collateral becomes worthless. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:


(Dollars in Thousands)	September 30, 2009		December 31, 2008
Commitments to extend credit: ⁽¹⁾
Future loan commitments	$	8,315	$	5,386
Undisbursed construction loans		11,135		19,840
Undisbursed home equity lines of credit		19,548		18,327
Undisbursed commercial lines of credit		11,687		13,507
Overdraft protection lines		1,454		1,434
Standby letters of credit ⁽²⁾		784		710

Total commitments	$	52,923	$	59,204

⁽¹⁾	Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments may require payment of a fee and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

⁽²⁾	Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

The Bank is a limited partner in two Small Business Investment Corporations (“SBIC”). In 1998, the Bank became a limited partner in an SBIC and committed to contribute capital of $1.0 million to the limited partnership. In 2007, the Bank became a limited partner in a second SBIC and committed to contribute capital of $1.0 million to the limited partnership. The Bank recognized a write-down of $383,000 on its investment in the two SBICs during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, the Bank’s remaining off-balance sheet commitment for the capital investment in the SBICs was $757,000.

At September 30, 2009, the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase $6.5 million in guaranteed USDA and SBA loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, with the exception of the aforementioned commitments, the Company did not engage in any additional off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Notes 6 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3.

Item 4(T).

Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings believed by management to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against the Bank, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Bank holds a security interest, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to the Bank’s business. Management believes that these legal proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
