Quarterly Report On Form 10-Q

For The Quarter Ended September 30, 2002

8

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, was $1,211,078 or $11.15 per share, an increase of $1,288,561, compared to a net loss of $77,483, or $.71 per share, for the corresponding period in 2001. This increase was primarily the result of a substantial decrease in the provision for loan losses. In addition, higher net interest income, increased noninterest income and lower noninterest expenses positively impacted the results. Income tax expense increased by $815,818 as a result of the improved operating results.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, was $3,495,906, an increase of $230,008 or 7% compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in interest earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates:

This increase was primarily attributable to an improved net interest income spread, which increased from 3.33% during the third quarter of 2001 to 3.85% during the quarter ended September

30, 2002. The yield on earning assets decreased by 114 basis points while the cost of funds decreased by 166 basis points. Average earning assets decreased by $3.3 million and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $8.1 million during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001.

In the third quarter of 2002 the Company's provision for credit losses was $186,000 compared to $1,811,000 for the third quarter of 2001. Net charge-offs were $204,797 in the third quarter of 2002 compared to net charge-offs of $2,959,745 during the third quarter of 2001.

Noninterest income increased by $182,133 during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001. This increase was primarily the result of increased gains from the sale of assets, which were $122,164 higher than the corresponding period in the prior year. Gains from the sale of acquired properties increased $61,961 and gains from the sale of fixed rate mortgages increased $55,308 during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Service charges on deposit accounts, including overdraft fees, increased $23,361 during the third quarter of 2002. Appraisal fees were $7,175 higher during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, compared to the third quarter of 2001.

Noninterest expense decreased by $67,238 or 3% during the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the corresponding period in 2001. Salaries and benefits expense increased $72,784 or 6% over the corresponding period in 2001. This increase is attributed to higher salaries and wages, which increased by $41,468 as a result of regular salary increases, and higher group health insurance expenses, which increased by $26,868 or 13%. Other operating expenses decreased by $137,148 primarily as a result of a $142,857 decrease in expenditures related to acquired properties. During the third quarter of 2001 the bank incurred costs totaling $146,693 to repair properties held as other real estate.

Return on average assets was 1.42% during the third quarter compared to (.09%) for the corresponding period in 2001. Return on average equity in the third quarter of 2002 was 13.7% compared to (0.93%) for the corresponding period in the prior year.

Total assets increased by $12,313,350 between December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002. The investment securities portfolio increased by $7.6 million during the first nine months of 2002. The Bank purchased $6.0 million of short-term taxable municipal securities. These securities, which are considered available-for-sale, are yielding about 25 basis points higher than federal funds sold. Proceeds from the sale of these securities will be used to payoff a $5 million short-term advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank maturing on November 15, 2002. Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $1.5 million during the first nine months. The Bank sold $20.9 million of fixed rate mortgages to the secondary mortgage market. Low mortgage interest rates prevailing during the first nine months has resulted in increased refinancing activity as borrowers are locking in fixed rates for 15 and 30 years. Substantially all of the fixed rate mortgage loans originated by the Bank are sold. Included in other assets are seven acquired real estate properties valued at $780,000. Total deposits increased by $13.7 million and other borrowed funds decreased by $3.5 million.

The allowance for credit losses decreased by $350,759 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The allowance equals 1.91% of total loans at September 30, 2002, compared to 2.06% at December 31, 2001. Nonaccrual loans totaled $5,270,463 at September 30, 2002, a decrease of $1,712,996 compared to December 31, 2001. Of the nonaccrual loans at year-end, $707,028 were charged-off and $483,354 were transferred to acquired properties. The Company's ratio of loans more than 30 days past due (including nonaccrual loans) to total loans was 3.5% at September 30, 2002, compared to 4.3% at December 31, 2001. As of September 30, 2002, management has identified $16.6 million of potential problem loans, compared to $13.3 million as of December 31, 2001. Potential problem loans are loans that are performing but have a greater risk of nonperformance.

Demand deposits increased $12,701,634 or 42.1% during the first nine months of 2002. The increase in demand deposits is attributable to a large commercial depositor whose balance as of September 30, 2002, was $15.2 million higher than at December 31, 2001. Exclusive of this depositor, demand deposits were $2.5 million lower than at year-end. Management attributes this decrease to a normal seasonal fluctuation. Interest bearing deposits increased by $990,769 or .5% between December 31, 2001, and September 30, 2002.

Other borrowed funds decreased by $3,462,870 or 5.9% during the first nine months of 2002. The Bank utilized the proceeds from the sale of fixed rate mortgages to reduce debt.

Stockholders' equity increased by $1,942,432 to $35,313,794 as of September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's leverage ratio was 9.8%, the risk-based core capital ratio was 12.8% and the risk-based total capital ratio was 14.0%.

Liquidity refers to the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the Company's needs for cash. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,060,313 during the first nine months of 2002. The major sources and uses of cash are detailed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The federal funds sold totaling $19.9 million and the available-for-sale investment portfolio amounting to $7.9 million as of September 30, 2002, are readily convertible to cash if needed for liquidity purposes.

10

In addition to on-balance sheet sources of funds the Company also has off-balance sheet sources available to meet liquidity needs. The Company has unused lines of credit of $47.8 million as of September 30, 2002. The Company has commitments to extend credit of $27.9 million as of September 30, 2002. Management believes the Company's liquidity position as of September 30, 2002, is adequate under current economic conditions.

The Company's primary market risk position has not materially changed from that disclosed in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K Annual Report.

The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of management's evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
