PART I

Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the securities and exchange commission (including this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Exhibits thereto), in its report to shareholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, changes in real estate values in the Company’s primary lending areas, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Item 1. Business

Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio for the primary purpose of acquiring and holding all of the outstanding shares of The Killbuck Savings Bank Company (the “Bank”). The principal office of the Company is located at 165 N. Main Street, Killbuck, Ohio. The Killbuck Savings Bank Company was incorporated under the banking laws of the State of Ohio in 1900.

The Bank is headquartered in Killbuck, Ohio, which is in Holmes County. Holmes County is located in northeastern Ohio, and has a population of approximately 41,000.

The Bank provides a wide range of retail banking services to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. These services include various deposit products, business and personal loans, credit cards, residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, internet banking, bill payment, and other consumer oriented financial services including IRA accounts, Health Savings Accounts (“HSA”), safe deposit and night depository facilities. The Bank also has automatic teller machines (“ATM”) located at all locations providing 24 hour banking service to our customers. The Bank belongs to STAR, a national ATM network with thousands of locations nationwide. Neither the Company nor the Bank has any foreign operations, assets, investments or deposits.

The Bank is the Company’s sole subsidiary. The Bank has ten offices, with seven in Holmes County including a loan production office, two in Knox County and one in Tuscarawas County.

Table of Contents

The Company, through its Bank subsidiary, conducts the business of a commercial banking organization. At December 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary had total consolidated assets of $405.1 million and total consolidated shareholders’ equity of $43.7 million. The capital of the Company consists of 1,000,000 authorized shares of capital stock, no par value of which 615,945 shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2010 to 1,001 shareholders.

The Bank is a state chartered commercial bank, regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (“ODFI”) and the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), with its deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the extent permitted by law.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had 98 full-time and 25 part-time employees. The Company had no employees. The Bank provides a number of benefits for its full-time employees, including health and life insurance, pension, workers’ compensation, social security, paid vacations, and numerous bank services. No employees are union participants or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Competition

The commercial banking business in the market areas served by the Bank is very competitive. Many of these competitors are substantially larger than the Bank. In addition to local bank competition, the Bank competes with larger commercial banks headquartered in metropolitan areas, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies and other financial intermediaries for loans and deposits.

There are eight financial institutions operating in Holmes County. As of June 30, 2010 (the most recent date for which such information is available), the Bank had the largest market share with $259.0 million in total deposits as of such date, representing a market share of approximately 44%. The institution with the second largest market share had deposits of $216.3 million as of such date, representing a market share of approximately 37%.

Regulation and Supervision

The following is a summary of certain statutes and regulations affecting the Company and its subsidiary. This summary is qualified in its entirety by such statutes and regulations.

The Company

General

The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, (“BHC Act”) and as such is subject to regulation by the FRB. A bank holding company is required to file with the FRB quarterly reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries. A bank holding company and its subsidiary banks are also subject to examination by the FRB.

Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (better known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999), bank holding companies are entitled to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991 prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company. No

Table of Contents

regulatory approval will be required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the FRB.

The Financial Services Modernization Act defines “financial in nature” to include:

 

   

securities underwriting, dealing and market making;

 

   

sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies;

 

   

insurance underwriting and agency;

 

   

merchant bank activities and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely relating to banking.

In addition, a financial holding company may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better.

Affiliate Transactions

Various governmental requirements, including Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, limit borrowings by holding companies and non-bank subsidiaries from affiliated insured depository institutions, and also limit various other transactions between holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries, on the one hand, and their affiliated insured depository institutions on the other. Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act also generally requires that an insured depository institution’s loan to its non-bank affiliates be secured, and Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act generally requires that an insured depository institution’s transactions with its non-bank affiliates be on arms-length terms.

Control Acquisitions

The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company, unless the FRB has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under the rebuttable presumption established by the FRB, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as the Company, would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the bank holding company.

In addition, the BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank or bank holding company or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank holding company, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent (5%) of the voting shares of such bank or bank holding company, or would otherwise be able to exercise a “controlling influence” over the other bank or holding company. In approving acquisitions by bank holding companies of companies engaged in banking-related activities, the FRB considers whether the performance of any such activity by a subsidiary of the holding company reasonably can be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency, which outweigh possible adverse effects, such as over concentration of resources, decrease of competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.

Securities Laws and Compliance

In 1998, the Company’s common stock was registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”). This registration requires ongoing compliance with the 1934 Act and its periodic filing requirements, as well as a wide range of federal and state securities laws. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC, certain requirements as to the solicitation of proxies from shareholders, as well as other proxy rules, and

Table of Contents

compliance with the reporting requirements and “short-swing” profit rules imposed by section 16 of the 1934 Act.

The Bank

The Company operates the Bank as its only subsidiary. As an Ohio state-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is supervised and regulated by the ODFI, and is subject to the laws and regulations applicable to all Ohio commercial banks.

Capital Requirements

The FRB, ODFI, and FDIC require banks and holding companies to maintain minimum capital ratios.

The FRB has promulgated “risk-adjusted” capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The ODFI and FDIC have adopted substantially similar risk-based capital guidelines with respect to the Bank. These ratios involve a mathematical process of assigning various risk weights to different classes of assets, then evaluating the sum of the risk-weighted balance sheet structure against the Company’s capital base. The rules set the minimum guidelines for the ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) at 8%. At least half of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock less certain goodwill items (“Tier 1 Capital”). The remainder may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.

In addition, the federal banking regulatory agencies have adopted leverage capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Under these guidelines, banks and bank holding companies must maintain a minimum ratio of three percent (3%) Tier 1 Capital to total assets. The Federal Reserve Board has indicated, however, that banking organizations that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well in excess of the minimum levels.

Regulatory authorities may increase such minimum regulatory capital requirements for all banks and bank holding companies, as well as specific individual banks or bank holding companies. Mandated increases in the minimum required capital ratios could adversely affect the Company and the Bank, including their ability to pay dividends.

At December 31, 2010, the Company’s respective total and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios significantly exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements. See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report and incorporated herein by reference in the report as Exhibit 13.

In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Company Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), and the regulations promulgated under FDICIA, among other things, established five capital categories for insured depository institutions-well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized-and requires U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies to implement systems for “prompt corrective action” for insured depository institutions that do no meet minimum capital requirements based on these categories. Unless a bank is well capitalized, it is subject to restrictions on its ability to offer brokered deposits and on certain other aspects of its operations. An undercapitalized bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent bank holding company must guarantee the bank’s compliance with the plan up to the lesser of 5% of the banks or thrift’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized and the amount needed to comply with the plan. As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s banking subsidiary was well capitalized pursuant to these prompt corrective action guidelines.

Dividend Regulation

The ability of the Company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank. Generally, the Bank may not declare a dividend, without ODFI approval, if the total of dividends declared in a calendar year exceeds the total of its net income for that year combined with its retained earnings of the preceding two years. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had the ability to pay dividends of approximately $3.8 million to the Company without prior regulatory approval.

Government Policies and Legislation

The earnings of the Company are dependent upon the earnings of its wholly-owned subsidiary bank. The earnings of the subsidiary bank are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, the Board of Governors of the FRB and the FDIC. For example, an important function of the FRB is to regulate aggregate national credit and money supply through such means as open market dealings in securities, establishment of the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. Policies of these agencies may be influenced by many factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes in the international trade balance and fiscal policies of the United States government. The policies and regulations of the regulatory agencies have had and will continue to have a significant effect on deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and therefore will affect the earnings of the subsidiary bank and the Company in the future, although the degree of such future impact cannot accurately be predicted.

Deposit Insurance Assessments

The deposits of the Company’s banking subsidiary are insured up to regulatory limits by the FDIC, and, accordingly, are subject to deposit insurance assessments based on the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, as adopted and took effect on April 21, 2006.

Deposit Insurance

As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The amount each institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Institutions classified as well capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered substantial supervisory concerns pay the highest premium. Because the Bank is presently “well capitalized” it pays the minimum deposit insurance premiums.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 provided a temporary increase in deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. This legislation was effective immediately upon the President’s signature on October 3, 2008. The basic deposit insurance limit was set to return to $100,000 on January 1, 2010, however, at this time, the date has been extended to December 31, 2013.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of the Bank.

Depositor Preference Statute

In the “liquidation or other resolution” of an institution by any receiver, U.S. federal legislation provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against the insured depository institution would be afforded a priority over general unsecured claims against that institution, including federal funds and letters of credit.

Recent Legislation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) signed by the President on July 21, 2010 posed a significant impact on financial regulations. Certain provisions such as the permanent increase in deposit insurance coverage had an immediate effective date. Provisions regarding rules for interchanges fees on electronic debit transactions must be effective by July 21, 2011. Other provisions which, though intended to provide regulatory relief to community banks, may require time and further analysis to evaluate the actual consequences. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act provisions, which are conservatively estimated at more than 5,000 pages of new or expanded regulations for banks, will result in new rulemaking by the federal regulatory agencies over the next several years. Fully implementing the new and expanded regulation will involve ensuring compliance with extensive new disclosure and reporting requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act created an independent regulatory body, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“Bureau”), with authority and responsibility to set rules and regulations for most consumer protection laws applicable to all banks — large and small — adds another regulator to scrutinize and police financial activities. Transfer to the Bureau of all consumer financial protection functions for designated laws by the other federal agencies must be completed no later than July 21, 2011. The Bureau has responsibility for mortgage reform and enforcement, as well as broad new powers over consumer financial activities which could impact what consumer financial services would be available and how they are provided. The following consumer protection laws are the designated laws that will fall under the Bureau’s rulemaking authority: the Alternative Mortgage Transactions Parity Act of 1928, the Consumer Leasing Act of 1976, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act subject to certain exclusions, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Home Owners Protection Act, certain privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the S.A.F.E. Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act), and the Truth in Lending Act. Review and revision of current financial regulations in conjunction with added new financial service regulations will heighten the regulatory compliance burden and increase litigation risk for the banking industry.

Also, in response to recent unprecedented financial market turmoil, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted in 2008. EESA authorized the U.S. Treasury Department to provide up to $700 billion in funding for the financial services industry. Pursuant to the EESA, the Treasury was initially authorized to use $350 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). Of this amount, Treasury allocated $250 billion to the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On January 15, 2009, the second $350 billion of TARP monies was released to the Treasury. The Secretary’s authority under TARP expired on December 31, 2009. The Company previously determined to not participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

In addition to the Dodd-Frank Act and EESA, there is significant potential for new federal regulations relating to lending, funding practices, and liquidity and capital standards, and the bank regulatory agencies are expected to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations. These increased governmental actions may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.

Cash dividends are paid on a semi-annual basis. The Company has paid regular semi-annual cash dividends for the last nineteen years, and assuming the ability to do so, it is management’s intent that the Company will continue to declare regular semi-annual cash dividends.

For information on dividends per share, earnings per share and ratio of dividends to earnings per share, see the Selected Financial Data of the 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc, included in this Report as Exhibit 13 and incorporated herein by reference.

The ability of the Company to pay dividends will depend on the earnings of the Bank and its financial condition, as well as other factors such as market conditions, interest rates and regulatory requirements. Therefore, no assurances may be given as to the continuation of the Company’s ability to pay dividends or maintain its present level of earnings. For a discussion on Bank dividends see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. included in this Report as Exhibit 13 and incorporated herein by reference.

The common stock of the Company is not subject to any redemption provisions or restrictions on alienability. The common stock is entitled to share pro rata in dividends and in distributions in the event of dissolution or liquidation. There are not any options, warrants, privileges nor other rights with respect to the Company shares at the present time, nor are any such rights proposed to be issued.

Table of Contents

The largest category of loans comprising the Bank’s loan portfolio is residential real estate loans. These loans are primarily single-family residential real estate loans secured by a first mortgage on the dwelling. The risks associated with these loans are primarily the risk of default in repayment and inadequate collateral. Real estate commercial loans represent the second largest category and include development loans as well as investment commercial real estate loans. These loans have risks, which include the risk of default in the repayment of principal and inadequate collateral as well as the risk of cash flow interruption due to, in the case of rental real estate, the inability to obtain or collect adequate rental rates. The next largest loan segment of the Bank’s loan portfolio is the commercial and other category. The loans comprising this category represent loans to business interests located primarily within the Bank’s defined market areas. The Bank has no significant industry loan concentration. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans. The risks associated with these loans are principally the risk in default of the repayment of principal resulting from economic problems of the commercial customer, an economic downturn affecting the market in general and, in the case of secured loans, inadequate collateral.

RISK ELEMENTS

Loans are subject to ongoing periodic monitoring by management and the Board of Directors. The Company ceases accruing interest on residential mortgages secured by real estate and consumer loans when principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more. Commercial loans that are 90 days or more past due are reviewed by the Executive Vice President and the loan officer to determine whether they will be classified as nonperforming. These officers review various factors which include, but are not limited to, the timing of the maturity of the loan in relation to the ability to collect, whether the loan is deemed to be well secured, whether the loan is in the process of collection, and the favorable results of the analysis of customer financial data. A nonperforming loan will only be reclassified as a performing loan when stringent criteria have been met. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received or the loan has been returned to performing loan status. Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower. At December 31, 2010, the Company had nonperforming loans of $392,000. The following table presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, renegotiated loans, other real estate and repossessed assets at December 31, (dollars in thousands).

The amount of interest income that would have been recognized had the loans performed in accordance with their original terms was less than $5,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

There are not any loans as of December 31, 2010, other than those discussed above, where known information about the borrower caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with their contractual repayment obligations. There are no concentrations of loans to borrowers engaged in similar activities which exceed 10% of total loans of which management is aware. Based upon the ongoing quarterly review and assessment of credit quality, management is not aware of any trends or uncertainties related to any accounts which might have a material adverse effect on future earnings, liquidity or capital resources.

There are no other interest-bearing assets that would be subject to disclosure as either nonperforming or impaired other than those disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for December 31, 2010, attached hereto as Exhibit 13 to this Annual Report on Form 10K.

LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

Management makes periodic provisions to the allowance for loan losses to maintain the allowance at an acceptable level commensurate with the credit risks inherent in the loan portfolio. There can be no assurances, however, that additional provisions will not be required in future periods. The following table presents a summary of loan losses by loan type and changes in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

The Bank reviews the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. In determining the adequacy of its allowance account the Bank makes allocations based upon loan categories, nonaccrual, past due and classified loans. The Bank has determined that the allowance is adequate as of December 31, 2010, based upon its analysis and experience. However, there can be no assurance that the current allowance for loan losses will be adequate to absorb all future loan losses.

The following table presents management’s estimate of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses among the loan categories, although the entire allowance balance is available to absorb any actual charge-offs that may occur, along with the percentage of loans in each category to total loans for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

The report of the Independent Registered Public Accountants and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders of Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. and filed with this Report as Exhibit 13 are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s calendar quarter ended December 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this Annual Report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgments and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

In order to ensure that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, management is required to evaluate, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each year and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
