NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Dollars in thousands)
     1.) Basis of Presentation:
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005, included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
     2.) Reclassifications:
     Certain items contained in the 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2006. Such reclassifications had no effect on the net results of operations.
     3.) Investment Securities:
     Securities classified as held to maturity are those that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, with such amortization or accretion included in interest income.
     Securities classified as available for sale are those that could be sold for liquidity, investment management, or similar reasons even though management has no present intentions to do so. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value using the specific identification method. Changes in the unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded net of tax effect as a component of comprehensive income.
     Trading securities are principally held with the intention of selling in the near term. Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     4.) Concentration of Credit Risk and Off Balance Sheet Risk:
     The Company currently does not enter into derivative financial instruments including futures, forwards, interest rate risk swaps, option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar characteristics. The Company also does not participate in any partnerships or other special purpose entities that might give rise to off-balance sheet liabilities.
     The Company, through its subsidiary bank, is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
     In the event of nonperformance by the other party, the Company’s exposure to credit loss on these financial instruments is represented by the contract or notional amount of the instrument. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments recorded on the balance sheet. The amount and nature of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation.
                 
    CONTRACT OR
    NOTIONAL AMOUNT
    June 30,   December 31,
    2006   2005
Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk:
               
Commitments to extend credit:
               
Fixed rate
  $ 8,456     $ 2,101  
Variable
    36,286       39,180  
Standby letters of credit
    840       1,195  
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company’s subsidiary bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. 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. Generally these financial arrangements have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
     The Company’s subsidiary bank also offers limited overdraft protection as a non-contractual courtesy which is available to individually/jointly owned accounts in good standing for personal or household use. The Company reserves the right to discontinue this service without prior notice. The available amount of overdraft protection on depositors’ accounts not included in the table above at June 30, 2006 totaled $10,001 and $6,191 at December 31, 2005. The total average daily balance of overdrafts used in 2006 was $132 and $126 in 2005, or approximately 1.3% of the total aggregate overdraft protection available to depositors at June 30, 2006 and 2.0% at December 31, 2005.

     There are $171 in mortgage loans held for sale included in 1-4 family residential mortgages as of June 30, 2006, and none at December 31, 2005. These loans are carried, in the aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated market value based on secondary market prices.
     The following table sets forth the aggregate balance of underperforming loans for each of the following categories at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

     The following shows the amounts of contractual interest income and interest income actually reflected in income on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and loans considered troubled debt restructuring for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
                 
    June 30,   June 30,
    2006   2005
Gross interest income that would have been recorded if the loans had been current in accordance with their original terms
  $ 228     $ 155  
Interest income actually included in income on the loan
    13       11  
     A loan is placed on a non-accrual basis whenever sufficient information is received to question the collectibility of the loan or any time legal proceedings are initiated involving a loan. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest that has been accrued and not collected on the loan is charged against earnings. Cash payments received while a loan is classified as non-accrual are recorded as a reduction to principal or reported as interest income according to management’s judgment as to collectibility of principal.
     A loan is returned to accrual status when either, all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are, in management’s opinion, collectible, or when it otherwise becomes well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is charged-off, any interest accrued but not collected on the loan is charged against earnings.
     Impaired loans are generally included in non-accrual loans. Management does not individually evaluate certain smaller balance loans for impairment as such loans are evaluated on an aggregate basis. These loans include 1 – 4 family, consumer and home equity loans. Impaired loans were evaluated using the fair value of collateral as the measurement method. At June 30, 2006 the recorded investment in impaired loans was $1,532 while the related portion of the allowance for loan losses was $672. At December 31, 2005, there were $1,857 in loans considered impaired while the allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses for such loans was $714.
     Loans in the amount of $9,106 as of June 30, 2006, and $5,304 as of December 31, 2005, were not included in any of the above categories and were not currently considered impaired, but which can be considered to be potential problem loans.
     Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed above do not (i) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii) represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

     For each of the periods presented above, the provision for loan losses charged to operations is based on management’s judgment after taking into consideration all known factors connected with the collectibility of the existing portfolio. Management evaluates the portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors. Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts charged to operations include previous loan loss experience; the status of past due interest and principal payments; the quality of financial information supplied by customers; the cash flow coverage and trends evidenced by financial information supplied by customers; the nature and estimated value of any collateral supporting specific loan credits; risk classifications determined by the Company’s loan review systems or as the result of the regulatory examination process; and general economic conditions in the lending area of the Company’s bank subsidiary. Key risk factors and assumptions are dynamically updated to reflect actual experience and changing circumstances.

     The Company maintains an allowance for losses on unfunded commercial lending commitments to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for loan losses. This allowance is reported as a liability on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for these losses is recorded as a component of other expense.
     Certain asset-specific loans are evaluated individually for impairment, based on management’s best estimate of discounted cash repayments and the anticipated proceeds from liquidating collateral. The actual timing and amount of repayments and the ultimate realizable value of the collateral may differ from management’s estimates.
     The expected loss for certain other commercial credits utilizes internal risk ratings. These loss estimates are sensitive to changes in the customer’s risk profile, the realizable value of collateral, other risk factors and the related loss experience of other credits of similar risk. Consumer credits generally employ statistical loss factors, adjusted for other risk indicators, applied to pools of similar loans stratified by asset type. These loss estimates are sensitive to changes in delinquency status and shifts in the aggregate risk profile.
5.) Legal Proceedings:
     The Bank is involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcomes from these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have any material effect on the Company.
6.) Earnings Per Share and Capital Transactions:
     The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in thousands)
Financial Review
     The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Cortland Bancorp (the “Company”). The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. In addition to historical information, certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other material filed or to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by the Company) may contain herein, the forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The words “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” or similar terminology identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s beliefs and assumptions, and are based on information currently available to management. Economic circumstances, the Company’s operations and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in any forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are changes in the economy and interest rates either nationally or in the Company’s market area; changes in customer preferences and consumer behavior; increased competitive pressures or changes in either the nature or composition of competitors; changes in the legal and regulatory environment; changes in factors influencing liquidity such as expectations regarding the rate of inflation or deflation, currency exchange rates, and other factors influencing market volatility; unforeseen risks associated with other global economic, political and financial factors. While actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available.
Certain Non GAAP Measures
     Certain financial information has been determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Specifically, certain financial measures are based on core earnings rather than net income. Core earnings exclude income, expense, gains and losses that either are not reflective of ongoing operations or that are not expected to reoccur with any regularity or reoccur with a high degree of uncertainty and volatility. Such information may be useful to both investors and management, and can aid them in understanding the Company’s current performance trends and financial condition. Core earnings are a supplemental tool for analysis and not a substitute for GAAP net income. Reconciliation from GAAP net income to the non GAAP measure of core earnings is shown as part of management’s discussion and analysis of quarterly and year-to-date financial results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the 2005 annual report on Form 10-K. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Some of these policies and related methodologies are more critical than others. There has been no material change in critical accounting estimates since those presented in the 2005 annual report on Form 10-K.

CORTLAND BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
(Dollars in thousands)
     The Company has identified its policy on the allowance for loan losses as being critical because it requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or by using different assumptions. In determining the appropriate amount to reserve for potential credit losses, the Company’s banking subsidiary also considers unfunded commitments, such as loan commitments, letter of credit and unused lines of credit. In 2005 the Company refined its approach to reserving for such unfunded credit commitments, incorporating into its reserve calculations the same off-balance sheet assumptions prescribed for determining risk-based capital.
Liquidity
     The central role of the Company’s liquidity management is to (1) ensure sufficient liquid funds to meet the normal transaction requirements of its customers, (2) take advantage of market opportunities requiring flexibility and speed, and (3) provide a cushion against unforeseen liquidity needs.
     Principal sources of liquidity for the Company include assets considered relatively liquid, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, as well as cash flows from maturities and repayments of loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.
     Along with its liquid assets, the Company has other sources of liquidity available to it, which help to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These other sources include, but are not limited to, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates, the purchasing of federal funds, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
     Cash and cash equivalents decreased from June 30, 2005 and from levels at year-end. The average balance, however, remained much more consistent with an average balance of $11,402 at June 30, 2006, $13,036 at December 31, 2005 and $12,340 at June 30, 2005. Operating activities provided cash of $1,919 and $1,833 during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Key differences stem mainly from: 1) a decrease in net income of $139 compared to June 30, 2005; 2) loans held for sale increased by $171 at June 30, 2006 as compared to an increase of $92 at June 30, 2005. 3) gains on the sale of investments was $304 at June 30, 2005 where there was only $18 at June 30, 2006; 4) amortization on securities was $263 in 2006 compared to $495 in 2005; 5) provision for loan loss was $130 at June 30, 2006 compared to $250 at June 30, 2005; 6) a liability for Securities to Settle totaled $1,270 at December 31, 2004, while there was no liability at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005; and 7) a participation payable was recorded at June 30, 2005 at $785. Refer to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for a summary of the sources and uses of cash for June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the following table which details the cash flows from operating activities.

     The capital management function is a continuous process which consists of providing capital for both the current financial position and the anticipated future growth of the Company. Central to this process is internal equity generation, particularly through earnings retention. Internal capital generation is measured as the annualized rate of return on equity, exclusive of any appreciation or depreciation relating to available for sale securities, multiplied by the percentage of earnings retained. Internally generated capital retained by the Company measured 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Overall capital (a figure which reflects earnings, dividends paid, common stock issued, treasury shares purchased, treasury shares reissued and the net change in the estimated fair value of available for sale securities) increased at an annual rate of 1.4%. Capital ratios remained well in excess of regulatory minimums.
     Risk-based standards for measuring capital adequacy require banks and bank holding companies to maintain capital based on “risk-adjusted” assets. Categories of assets with potentially higher credit risk require more capital than assets with lower risk. In addition, banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain capital to support, on a risk-adjusted basis, certain off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit and interest rate swaps.
     These standards also classify capital into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1 and Tier 2. The Company’s Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity (excluding any gain or loss on available for sale debt securities) less intangible assets and the net unrealized loss on equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Tier 2 capital is the allowance for loan and lease losses reduced for certain regulatory limitations.
     Risk based capital standards require a minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted total assets with at least 4% constituting Tier 1 capital. Capital qualifying as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital. All banks and bank holding companies are also required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to total average assets) in the range of 3% to 4%, subject to regulatory guidelines.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) required banking regulatory agencies to revise risk-based capital standards to ensure that they adequately account for the following additional risks: interest rate, concentration of credit, and non traditional activities. Accordingly, regulators will subjectively consider an institution’s exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates in evaluating capital adequacy. The table below illustrates the Company’s risk weighted capital ratios at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

First Six Months of 2006 as Compared to First Six Months of 2005
     During the first six months of 2006, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased by $35 compared to the first six months of 2005. Total interest income increased by $1,322 or 11.5%, from the level recorded in 2005. This was accompanied by an increase in interest expense of $1,407 or 34.9%, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $120. On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased by $5.
     The increase in net interest income after provision was the product of a 3.8% year-over-year increase in average earning assets. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest margin for the first six months of 2006 measured 3.7% and 3.9% in the same period of 2005.
     The average rate paid on interest sensitive liabilities increased by 70 basis points year-over-year. The average balance of interest sensitive liabilities increased by $16,369 or 5.0%. Compared to the first six months of last year, the average borrowings increased by $10,870, while the average rate paid on borrowings increased by 6 basis points.
     Average interest-bearing demand deposits and balances on money market accounts decreased by $1,566, while savings deposits decreased by $5,856. The average rate paid on these products increased by 60 basis points in the aggregate. The average balance on time deposit products increased by $12,921, while the average rate paid increased by 67 basis points.
     Interest and dividend income on securities registered an increase of $893, or 17.5%, during the first six months of 2006 when compared to 2005, while on a fully tax equivalent basis income on investment securities increased by $864 or 15.4%. The average invested balances increased by $19,293 from the levels of a year ago. The increase in the average balance of investment securities was accompanied by a 30 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield of the portfolio.
     Interest and fees on loans increased by $417, or 6.6%, for the first six months of 2006 compared to 2005, while on a fully tax equivalent basis income on loans also increased by $416 or 6.5%. A $2,948 decrease in the average balance of the loan portfolio, or 1.5%, was accompanied by a 56 basis point increase in the portfolio’s tax equivalent yield.
     Other interest income increased by $12 from the same period a year ago. The average balance of Federal Funds sold and other money market funds decreased by $689 or 22.1%. The yield on federal funds and other money market funds, increased by 176 basis points compared to the same period of 2005.

     Other income from all sources decreased by $337 from the same period a year ago. Gains on 1-4 residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary mortgage market increased by $25 from the same period a year ago. Gains on securities called and net gains on the sale of available for sale investment securities decreased by $286 from year ago levels. Fees for other customer services decreased by $44 due mainly to a $37 decrease in service charge income on deposits. A loss on the sale of other real estate of $28 was recognized in the first half of 2006 with none in the same period a year ago. Other sources of non-recurring non-interest income decreased by $4 from the same period a year ago. This income category is subject to fluctuation due to non-recurring items.
     Loan charge-offs during the first six months were $161 in 2006 compared to $91 in 2005, while the recovery of previously charged-off loans amounted to $43 in 2006 compared to $74 in 2005. A provision for loan loss of $130 was charged to operations in 2006 and $250 in 2005. Non-accrual loans at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 represented 2.0% of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2006, the loan loss allowance of $2,180 represented approximately 1.1% of outstanding loans, and at June 30, 2005 the loan loss allowance of $2,862 represented approximately 1.5% of outstanding loans.
     Total other expenses in the first six months were $6,018 in 2006 compared to $5,922 in 2005, an increase of $96, or 1.6%. Full time equivalent employment averaged 159 during the first six months of 2006 and 162 at June 30, 2005. Salaries and benefits increased by $15 or 0.4%, compared to the similar period a year ago. This increase is a combination of regular staff salary and benefit increases, a decline in retirement expense of $54 due to retirement of CEO in 2005 and a decline in full-time equivalent employment.
     For the first six months of 2006, state and local taxes increased by $2. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $34 or 3.6%. This is due mainly to a $69 decrease in depreciation expense because many assets are fully depreciated, and a $35 increase in equipment maintenance. Office supplies decreased by $33. Marketing expense decreased by $22. Much of this decrease is due to the timing of marketing expenditures. Bank exam and audit expense increased by $78. All other expense categories increased by 9.5%, or $90 as a group. This is due partly to an increase in collection and foreclosure expense of $34, and a one-time sundry charge-off of $22. This expense category is subject to fluctuation due to non-recurring items.

     Income before income tax expense amounted to $2,582 for the first six months of 2006 compared to $2,980 for the similar period of 2005. The effective tax rate for the first six months was 12.8% in 2006 compared to 19.8% in 2005, resulting in income tax expense of $331 and $590 respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a one time adjustment to tax expense of $145 due to a change in tax accrual estimate. The effective tax rate before the $145 adjustment was 18.5%.

Second Quarter of 2006 as Compared to Second Quarter of 2005
     During the second quarter of 2006 net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased by $21 as compared to second quarter 2005. Year-over-year average earning assets increased by $16,572 or 4.0% and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $17,434 or 5.3%. Average loans decreased by 0.7%, while average investments increased by 9.4%. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by 2.1% while borrowings increased by 24.4%.
     The composite tax equivalent yield on earning assets increased by 38 basis points from the same quarter a year ago. The tax equivalent yield of the investment portfolio measured 5.5%, a 29 basis point increase from the same quarter a year ago, while the loan portfolio yielded 7.2%, up 51 basis points from last year’s rate. The average rate on federal funds sold and other money market funds was 4.9%, up 198 basis points from last year. Meanwhile, the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 75 basis points compared to a year ago. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 2.8% up 79 basis points from last year. The net effect of these changes was that the tax equivalent net interest margin decreased by 25 basis points from 3.9% to 3.7%, and the average rate paid on federal funds purchased and other borrowings was 5.1% up 8 basis points from last year.
     Loans net of the allowance for losses increased by $4,853 during the 12-month period from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006, and increased by $9,822 from year-end. The most notable increase in the portfolio has been in loans secured by commercial real estate. The Commercial lending area has originated $16,836 in commercial loans, during the first six months of 2006, $8,030 of which originated from five year and ten year fixed rate products developed specifically to attract new business account relationships. Gross loans as a percentage of earning assets stood at 45.7% as of June 30, 2006 and 47.1% at June 30, 2005. The loan to deposit ratio at the end of the first six months of 2006 was 57.7% and 57.5% for the same period a year ago. The investment portfolio represented 67.9% at June 30, 2006 and 63.5% at June 30,2005.
     Total interest income increased by $664 or 11.4% from the same quarter a year ago. This was accompanied by a $759 increase in interest expense and a $74 decrease in the provision for loan losses.
     Loan charge-offs during the second quarter were $98 in 2006 and $45 in 2005, while the recovery of previously charged-off loans amounted to $12 during the second quarter of 2006 compared to $35 in the same period of 2005.
     Other income for the quarter increased by $31 or 4.4% compared to the same period a year ago. The net gain on loans sold during the quarter increased by $20 compared to a year ago. There was $2 in gains on investment and trading securities transactions in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the $18 gain realized in 2006. Fees from other customer services decreased by $7. A loss on other real estate of $28 was realized in the second quarter of 2006, while none was incurred during the comparable period of 2005. Other sources of non-recurring non-interest income increased by $30 from the same period a year ago due in part to a $26 increase in earnings on the bank owned life insurance policies.
     Total other expenses in the second quarter were $3,049 in 2006 and $2,972 in 2005, an increase of $77 or 2.6%. Employee salaries and benefits decreased by $7 or 0.4%. Occupancy and equipment expense showed a $42 decrease, or 8.7%. Bank exam and audit expense showed an increase of $74, partly due to timing and increased external and internal audit expense. Other expenses, as a group increased by $52 or 7.0%, compared to the same period last year.
     Income before tax for the quarter decreased by 4.8% to $1,329 in 2006 from the $1,396 recorded in 2005. Net income for the quarter of $1,076 represented a 4.9% decrease from the $1,132 earned a year ago. Earnings per share amounted to $0.24 for the second quarter of 2006 and $0.26 for 2005. Dividends declared per share were $0.22 both in 2006 and 2005.

Regulatory Matters
     On March 13, 2000, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approved the Company’s application to become a financial holding company. As a financial holding company, the Company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity, as authorized by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (The Financial Services Reform Act). Under the Financial Services Reform Act, the Company may continue to claim the benefits of financial holding company status as long as each depository institution that it controls remains well capitalized and well managed.
     The Company is required to provide notice to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System when it becomes aware that any depository institution controlled by the Company ceases to be well capitalized or well managed. Furthermore, current regulation specifies that prior to initiating or engaging in any new activities that are authorized for financial holding companies, the Company’s insured depository institutions must be rated “satisfactory” or better under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The Company’s bank subsidiary is rated “satisfactory” for CRA purposes, and remains well capitalized and well managed in Management’s opinion.

New Accounting Standards
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation.
     In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 115-and 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. This FSP provides guidance on when an investment in a debt or equity security should be considered impaired, when that impairment should be considered other-than-temporary, and measurement of the impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. If, after consideration of all available evidence to evaluate the realizable value of the investment, impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the difference between the investment’s cost and its fair value. The guidance also clarifies that an impairment loss should be recognized no later than when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. This FSP nullifies certain provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” while retaining the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 which were adopted in 2003. FSP 115-1 and 124-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company applied the guidance in this FSP in 2005.
     In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on its earnings, cash flows and/or financial position.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(Dollars in thousands)
     Management considers interest rate risk to be the Company’s principal source of market risk. Interest rate risk is measured as the impact of interest rate changes on the Company’s net interest income. Components of interest rate risk comprise re-pricing risk, basis risk and yield curve risk. Re-pricing risk arises due to timing differences in the re-pricing of assets and liabilities as interest rate changes occur. Basis risk occurs when re-pricing assets and liabilities reference different key rates. Yield curve risk arises when a shift occurs in the relationship among key rates across the maturity spectrum.
     The effective management of interest rate risk seeks to limit the adverse impact of interest rate changes on the Company’s net interest margin, providing the Company with the best opportunity for maintaining consistent earnings growth. Toward this end, Management uses computer simulation to model the Company’s financial performance under varying interest rate scenarios. These scenarios may reflect changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and changes in interest rate relationships.
     The simulation model allows Management to test and evaluate alternative responses to a changing interest rate environment. Typically when confronted with a heightened risk of rising interest rates, the Company will evaluate strategies that shorten investment and loan re-pricing intervals and maturities, emphasize the acquisition of floating rate over fixed rate assets, and lengthen the maturities of liability funding sources. When the risk of falling rates is perceived, Management will typically consider strategies that shorten the maturities of funding sources, lengthen the re-pricing intervals and maturities of investments and loans, and emphasize the acquisition of fixed rate assets over floating rate assets.
     The most significant assumptions used in the simulation relate to the cash flows and re-pricing characteristics of the Company’s balance sheet. Re-pricing and runoff rate assumptions are based on a detailed interface with actual customer information and investment data stored on the subsidiary bank’s information systems. Consensus prepayments speeds derived from an independent third party source are used to adjust the runoff cash flows for the impact of the specific interest rate environments under consideration. Simulated results are benchmarked against historical results. Actual results may differ from simulated results not only due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, but also due to changes in general economic conditions, changes in customer preferences and behavior, and changes in strategies by both existing and potential competitors.
     The table on the following page shows the Company’s current estimate of interest rate sensitivity based on the composition of the balance sheet at June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. For purposes of this analysis, short term interest rates as measured by the federal funds rate and the prime lending rate are assumed to increase (decrease) gradually over the subsequent twelve months reaching a level 300 basis points higher (lower) than the rates in effect at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 for the respective simulations. Under both the rising rate scenario and the falling rate scenario, the yield curve is assumed to exhibit a parallel shift.

     Over the past twelve months, the Federal Reserve has increased its target rate for overnight federal funds by 200 basis points. At June 30, 2006, the difference between the yield on the ten-year Treasury and the three-month Treasury had decreased to a positive 14 basis points from the positive 31 basis points that existed at December 31, 2005. The change denotes a “flattening” of this portion of the yield curve. The yield curve overall, however was inverted, as interest rates in the six month time frame exceeded those up through ten years. Rates did peak at the 20-year time frame before falling again at the 30-year time horizon.
     The base case against which interest rate sensitivity is measured assumes no change in short-term rates. The base case also assumes no growth in assets and liabilities and no change in asset or liability mix. Under these simulated conditions the base case projects net interest income of $15,793 for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2007.

     The level of interest rate risk indicated is within limits that Management considers acceptable. However, given that interest rate movements can be sudden and unanticipated, and are increasingly influenced by global events and circumstances beyond the purview of the Federal Reserve, no assurance can be made that interest rate movements will not impact key assumptions and parameters in a manner not presently embodied by the model.
     It is Management’s opinion that hedging instruments currently available are not a cost effective means of controlling interest rate risk for the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not currently use financial derivatives, such as interest rate options, floors or other similar instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. With the supervision and participation of management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) has been evaluated as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them, particularly during the period for which our periodic reports, including this report, are being prepared.
     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there have been no significant changes during the period covered by this report in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-13 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
