* The Package Policy (which includes general liability and personal property coverage) and the Workers Compensation are each paid in full through and expire on 2/01/10.  Due to reductions in coverage for those portions of the policies covering the bank's assets which were no longer required post-closure of Vineyard Bank, a refund in the amount of $23,483.04 was received under the Package Policy and a refund in the amount of $36,748.60 was received under the Workers Compensation policy.  Such refunds are potentially subject to allocation between Vineyard Bank and the Debtor.

*Payment to Chris Damore
 
** The information regarding fees and expenses accrued for legal services during November 2009 and December 2009 by Landau & Berger, LLP ("Landau") and Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP (“Manatt”) is for informational purposes only. Manatt did not draw down on its retainer for these services in November 2009 or December 2009. In accordance with the Guidelines of the Office of the United States Trustee ("OUST") and the Bankruptcy Court's order approving their employment applications, Manatt has filed a Professional Fee Statements for November 2009 and December 2009 and must wait for the time to object to expire before it can draw down on its retainer.  With respect to Landau, after no objection was filed relating to a Professional Fee Statement for October 2009 filed by Landau, Landau drew down on the remaining portion of the retainer to pay a portion of the legal fees attributable to October 2009, thus exhausting the retainer.  Further, in November 2009 Landau submitted a Knudsen Motion with the Court on behalf of all professionals with respect to the payment of their respective fees.
 
With respect to the remaining portion of the October 2009 legal fees and the November 2009 legal fees due Landau, payment will be made after the Court approves the Knudsen Motion, or otherwise, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and OUST Guidelines.  Further, with respect to the November 2009 legal fees due Landau, in addition to the approval of the Knudsen Motion, Landau must file and serve a Professional Fee Statement for its November 2009 fees, and it must wait for the time to object to expire before payment can be made to them.  Although the Knudsen Motion is applicable to the payment of fees for the Creditors Committee counsel, Winston & Strawn, LLP ("W&S"), information regarding W&S legal fees was not received at the time this report was filed and therefore no accrual was made for the same. Further, information regarding Landau legal fees was not received at the time this report was filed and therefore no accrual was made for the same.

* By Order entered on September 4, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtor to transfer the $90,000 in funds currently held at City National Bank ("CNB") to the Debtor's Operating account. As the account was originally established in the name of Vineyard Bank, CNB has not authorized the transfer.  As approximately $47,310.04 certain insurance refunds paid to the Debtor are allocable to the FDIC, in January 2010 the Debtor and the FDIC have filed a Stipulation with the Court to offset that amount against the $90,000 owed to the Debtor, resulting to a payment to the Debtor of approximately $42,689.96.  Court approval of the Stipulation is pending.

 ** The unamortized costs associated with the original establishment of ESOP and issuance of securities were incurred at issuance but amortized over the anticipated life of the entities. The book value of these items as of the petition date was set forth in the July MOR. These costs have been written off as of the petition date and therefore are not repeated here.

*** See the double asterisk on Tab IX.

Prepaid Retainers for Bankruptcy Counsel and Special Counsel were adjusted downward by $12,985.02 and $6,084.00 respectively. The activity occurred pre-petition, hence the adjustment was made to the Pre-petition Owners' Equity account. As of the petition date, the prepaid legal retainers for Landau and Manatt respectively were $187, 014.98 and $293,916.

**** Vineyard Bank, the Debtor's wholly-owned subsidiary, was seized by Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 17, 2009; therefore, no value likely remains.

***** The value of Debtor's common security interests in each of the subsidiary trusts is unknown, but likely valueless.
