Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements that are presented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 2 - Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of financial condition and operations for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Note 3 - Earnings per common share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted-average number of common shares totaled 2,071,159 and 1,783,491, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted-average number of common shares totaled 1,971,239 and 1,773,720, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the net income of the Company. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock were considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted-average number of common shares on a fully diluted basis totaled 2,163,716 and 2,007,318, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted-average number of common shares on a fully diluted basis totaled 2,066,713 and 1,954,678, respectively. At June 30, 2005, there were options to acquire 35,800 shares of common stock that were anti-dilutive for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, and none that were anti-dilutive for all other periods presented.

Note 4 Stock incentive and stock warrant plans
In September and October 2002, the Company completed an offering of units, each of which consisted of one share of its common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of its common stock, through the sale of 817,200 units at a price of $8.50 per unit. Proceeds to the Company from the offering (net of offering expenses of $624,000) were $6,322,000. The share of common stock and warrant that comprised each unit traded together for 45 days after the offering, but subsequently traded separately. The Company also issued 40,860 warrants to the underwriter of the offering. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock, at a price of $10.20 per share, at any time through September 27, 2007, unless the warrants were cancelled. The warrants could be cancelled after December 31, 2003 by the Company in whole or in part upon 30 days written notice if for 20 or more trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days, including the last day of the period, the bid price of the stock exceeds $12.75 per share. On April 26, 2006, the Company announced that it would be canceling these warrants effective June 13, 2006 under this provision of the agreement covering the warrants and, on June 13, 2006, the warrants were canceled. The cancellation of the common stock warrants resulted in the issuance of 672,638 shares of common stock and the addition of $6,860,908 in capital.
The Organizational Investors Warrant Plan made available 140,000 warrants for grant to the Companys initial (organizational) investors for certain risks associated with the establishment of the Bank. The warrants have an exercise price of $10 per share (which approximated the fair value per share of common stock at issuance date) and expire in April 2008. At June 30, 2006, 137,500 warrants had been issued and none had been exercised.
The Company has an Incentive Plan which authorizes the issuance of up to 455,000 shares (increased from 255,000 shares by amendment to the Incentive Plan approved by the Companys shareholders at its 2006 annual meeting on May 23, 2006) of Common Stock to assist the Company in recruiting and retaining key personnel. The following table summarizes options outstanding under this plan:

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), in accounting for stock options granted to employees and directors pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Under APB 25, compensation expense was determined
8
based upon the fair value of the awards at the grant date consistent with the method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and the impact of this expense on net income and earnings per share was disclosed in the notes to financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, issued in December 2004, a revision of SFAS 123, and superseding APB 25, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123 (Revised 2004) requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award rather than disclosed in the financial statements. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted 16,500 stock options to executive officers, the expense of which was not material to the results of operations for the period then ended.
Note 5 Trust preferred securities
During the first quarter of 2005, Southern Community Financial Capital Trust I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was formed for the purpose of issuing redeemable securities. On February 24, 2005, $5.2 million of Trust Preferred Capital Notes were issued through a pooled underwriting. The securities have a LIBOR-indexed floating rate of interest (three-month LIBOR plus 2.15%) which adjusts, and is payable, quarterly. The interest rate at June 30, 2006 was 7.48%. The securities may be redeemed at par beginning on March 15, 2010 and each quarter after such date until the securities mature on March 15, 2035. The principal asset of the Trust is $5.2 million of the Companys junior subordinated debt securities with like maturities and like interest rates to the Trust Preferred Capital Notes.
The Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. The portion of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes not considered as Tier 1 capital may be included in Tier 2 capital.
The obligations of the Company with respect to the issuance of the Trust Preferred Capital Notes constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trusts obligations with respect to the Trust Preferred Capital Notes. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company may elect from time to time to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debt securities, which would result in a deferral of distribution payments on the related Trust Preferred Capital Notes and require a deferral of common dividends.
Note 6 New accounting standards
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which is an amendment of Statement No. 140, intended to simplify the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities. Statement No. 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not completed its review of the new guidance; however, the effect of the standards adoption is not expected to be material.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 will become effective January 1, 2007. Management has not completed its review of the new guidance; however, the effect of FIN 48s adoption is not expected to be material.
9
Other proposals, interpretations of existing pronouncements or FASB staff positions have been recently issued which include the following:
FASB FSP to require recalculation of leveraged leases if the timing of tax benefits affect cash flows;
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-4 which addresses accounting for deferred compensation and post retirement benefits of endorsement split-dollar life insurance; and
EITF Issue No. 06-5 which encompasses accounting for purchases of life insurance and the ramifications of determining the amount that could be realized in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 84-4.
Management has not completed its analysis of this new guidance (as proposed, where applicable) although it anticipates their potential impact (if finalized, where applicable) would not be material to the Companys consolidated financial statements. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standardsetting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Companys consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this discussion may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as we expect, we believe or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, the following factors:
interest rate fluctuations;
risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values;
economic conditions in the Richmond metropolitan area;
the ability to continue to attract low cost core deposits to fund asset growth;
changes in general economic and business conditions;
changes in laws and regulations applicable to us;
competition within and from outside the banking industry;
the ability to successfully manage the Companys growth or implement its growth strategies if it is unable to identify attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future;
maintaining capital levels adequate to support the Companys growth;
reliance on the Companys management team, including its ability to attract and retain key personnel;
new products and services in the banking industry;
problems with our technology, and
changing trends in customer profiles and behavior.
Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
General
The Company was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as a bank holding company whose activities consist of investment in its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking. We opened to the public on December 13, 1999. We place special emphasis on serving the financial needs of individuals, small and medium sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and professional concerns.
The Bank has three subsidiaries: Village Bank Mortgage Company, Village Insurance Agency, Inc., and Village Financial Services Corporation. Through our combined companies, we offer a wide range of banking and related financial services, including checking, savings, certificates of deposit and other depository services, and commercial, real estate and consumer loans. We are a community-oriented and locally owned and managed financial institution focusing on providing a high level of responsive and personalized services to our customers, delivered in the context of a strong direct relationship with the customer. We conduct our operations from our main office/corporate headquarters location and seven branch offices.
11
Our total assets increased to $238,071,000 at June 30, 2006 from $214,975,000 at December 31, 2005, a 10.7% increase. During this period, net loans increased by $31.2 million which was funded by a decrease in federal funds sold of $16.8 million and an increase in deposits of $14.8 million. This results in higher yielding assets as interest rates on loans are higher than on federal funds sold. However, our cost of funds, primarily interest on deposits, is also increasing as interest rates continue to rise.
The following presents managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and results of operations for the Company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the second quarter 2006 financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Results of operations
Net income totaled $341,000, or $0.16 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2006 compared to net income of $335,000, or $0.17 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the second quarter of 2005.
While the Companys earnings in the second quarter of 2006 showed a small increase over the earnings for the same period in 2005, the components of the results were significantly different. The Companys primary source of income, net interest income, increased by $920,000, or 57.7%, from $1,596,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to $2,517,000 in the second quarter of 2006. However, noninterest income decreased by $104,000, or 14.0%, from $739,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to $635,000 in the second quarter of 2006. Noninterest expense increased by $699,000, or 39.1%, from $1,790,000 in the second quarter of 2005 to $2,489,000 in the second quarter of 2006.
The decline in noninterest income is directly attributable to a slowdown in our mortgage banking activities. Gain on sale of loans declined to $424,000 in the second quarter of 2006 from $541,000 in the second quarter of 2005, a decrease of $117,000, or 21.6%. This decline in mortgage banking activities could continue if interest rates stay at the current levels or increase. If this occurs, it could have a negative impact on our future earnings.
The increases in the components of our earnings are attributable to the growth and expansion of the Bank. This growth is demonstrated in the following schedule (dollars in thousands):

Similar to the results of the quarter to quarter comparison, net income of $624,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was only 3.2% higher than the $604,000 earned for the same period in 2005. The components of the results, however, did change significantly. Net interest income increased by $1,614,000, or 51.7%, from $3,124,000 in the first six months of 2005 to $4,738,000 in the first six months of 2006. Noninterest income decreased by $26,000, or 2.1%, from $1,238,000 in the first six months of 2005 to $1,212,000 in the first six months of 2006. Noninterest expense increased by $1,324,000, or 39.9%, from $3,318,000 in the first six months of 2005 to $4,642,000 in the first six months of 2006.
As discussed previously, the decline in noninterest income is directly attributable to a slowdown in our mortgage banking activities. Gain on sale of loans declined to $758,000 in the first six months of 2006 from $824,000 in the first six months of 2005, a decrease of $66,000, or 8.0%. The increases in the components of our earnings are attributable to the growth and expansion of the Bank. Our strategy has been and remains to invest some of our earnings in growth of the Bank. This strategy will depress earnings somewhat in the short-term but we believe it to the best way to build shareholder value in the long-term.
Net interest income
Net interest income is our primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The level of net interest income is affected primarily by variations in the volume and mix of those assets and liabilities, as well as changes in interest rates when compared to previous periods of operation.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $4,738,000 and $3,124,000, respectively. This increase of $1,614,000, or 51.7%, in net interest income was due to growth in loans and an improved net interest margin. Net loans increased by $57,683,000, or 39.5%, from $146,116,000 at June 30, 2005 to $203,799,000 at June 30, 2006. Net loans averaged $189,903,000 in the first six months of 2006 as compared to $140,509,000 in the first six months of 2005, an increase of $49,394,000, or 35.2%. In addition, our net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 4.65% compared to 4.06% for the first six months of 2005. This improvement in our net interest margin is due to the recent increases in the prime interest rate resulting from the increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve. While these increases in short-term interest rates have increased our net interest income, we expect continued increases in short-term rates, should they occur, to slow loan growth and increase our cost of funds.
Average interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2006 increased by $50,284,000, or 29.7%, compared to the first six months of 2005. The increase in interest-earning assets was due primarily to the growth of our loan portfolio. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased to 8.18% for the first six months of 2006 compared to 6.65% for the first six months of 2005. The increase in the average yields from 2005 to 2006 was due primarily to the increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
Our average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $44,847,000, or 32.3%, for the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005. The growth in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to strong growth in deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.95% for the first six months of 2006 from 2.88% for the first six months of 2005. The principal reasons for the increase in the liability costs was the rise in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve discussed previously and an increase in our borrowing costs associated with the issuance of trust preferred securities. See our discussion of interest rate sensitivity below for more information.

The following table illustrates average balances of total interest-earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated, showing the average distribution of assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity and related income, expense and corresponding weighted-average yields and rates. The average balances used in these tables and other statistical data were calculated using daily average balances. We had no tax exempt assets for the periods presented.

Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $363,000, compared to $128,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The 184.6% increase from 2005 to 2006 was due to the higher loan volume in 2006 as compared to 2005. Net loans increased by $31,420,000 in the first six months of 2006 compared to an increase of $10,440,000 in the first six months of 2005. The amount of the loan loss provision is determined by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, the level of non-performing loans, historical loan loss experience, delinquency trends, the amount of actual losses charged to the reserve in a given period and assessment of present and anticipated economic conditions. See our discussion of the allowance for loan losses under Allowance for loan losses and Critical accounting policies below.
Noninterest income
Noninterest income decreased from $1,238,000 for the first six months of 2005 to $1,212,000 for the first six months of 2006, a $26,000, or 2.1%, decrease. The decline in noninterest income is directly attributable to a slowdown in our mortgage banking activities. Gains on loan sales declined to $758,000 for the first six months of 2006 from $824,000 for the first six months of 2005, a $66,000, or 8.0%, decrease. This decline in mortgage banking activities could continue if interest rates stay at the current levels or increase. This could have a negative impact on our future earnings, and, if a slowdown in mortgage banking activity continues, we will take action to reduce overhead associated with this activity to minimize its impact.
Noninterest expense
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $4,642,000, an increase of $1,323,000, or 39.9%, from $3,319,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Salaries and benefits represented the largest increase, increasing by $847,000, or 46.4%, for the first six months of 2006 to $2,672,000, compared to $1,825,000 for the first six months of 2005. This increase and other increases in noninterest expense were primarily attributable to the growth of the Company both in personnel and new branches.
Income taxes
The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is based upon the results of operations. Certain items of income and expense are reported in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recognized currently in the deferred income tax provision or benefit. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the applicable enacted marginal tax rate.
The Company must also evaluate the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. If any such assets are not likely to be recovered, a valuation allowance must be recognized. We determined that a valuation allowance was not required for deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2006. The assessment of the carrying value of deferred tax assets is based on certain assumptions, changes in which could have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Commercial banking organizations conducting business in Virginia are not subject to Virginia income taxes. Instead, they are subject to a franchise tax based on bank capital. The Company recorded a franchise tax expense of $60,000 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2006 was $2,189,000, compared to $1,931,000 at December 31, 2005. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to gross portfolio loans (net of unearned income and excluding mortgage loans held for sale) at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 1.07% and 1.12%, respectively. The amount of the loan loss provision is determined by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, the level of non-performing loans, historical loan loss experience, delinquency trends, the amount of actual losses charged to the reserve in a given period and assessment of present and anticipated economic conditions. See our discussion of the allowance for loan losses under Critical accounting policies below.

Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, is evaluated at least annually for impairment by comparing its fair value with its recorded amount and is written down when appropriate. Projected net operating cash flows are compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill recorded and if the estimated net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value.
Goodwill of $689,000 at June 30, 2006 was related to the Banks acquisition of Village Bank Mortgage in 2003. There was no impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2006.
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $14,825,000, or 7.9%, during the first six months of 2006 as compared to an increase of $3,250,000, or 2.3%, during the first six months of 2005. The increase in deposits in 2006 resulted from increases in checking accounts of $4,857,000 and certificates of deposit of $26,750,000, offset by a decline in money market accounts of $16,062,000. The increases in checking accounts and certificates of deposit were due primarily to the efforts of our two newest branches opened in 2006 and an increase in interest rates on certificates of deposit. The decline in money market accounts occurred as a result of the loss of $18,887,000 in a money market account with a local brokerage company, Anderson & Strudwick, as disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2006. In 2005, the increase in deposits resulted primarily from an increase of $2,531,000 in noninterest demand accounts and an increase of $2,100,000 in time deposits, offset by a $2,349,000 decline in money market accounts.
The mix of our deposits continues to be weighted toward time deposits which represent 75.6% of our total deposits at June 30, 2006 as compared to 67.2% at December 31, 2005 (the loss of the money market account discussed previously was the primary reason for the increase in this percentage). As a result, our cost of funds is higher than we would like and we are striving to change this mix more toward lower cost checking accounts. As our branch network increases and becomes more convenient to a larger segment of our targeted customer base, we believe that a move to a higher percentage of our deposits in checking accounts will occur. Additionally, we are emphasizing checking account deposit growth at our existing branches.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was 3.85% and 2.76%, respectively. This increase in our average cost of interest-bearing deposits has mirrored the overall increase in interest rates resulting from the actions by the Federal Reserve to increase short-term interest rates. We expect this increase in our cost of deposits to increase if the Federal Reserve continues to increase short-term interest rates.
The variety of deposit accounts that we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and has allowed us to respond with flexibility to, although not to eliminate, the threat of disintermediation (the flow of funds away from depository institutions such as banking institutions into direct investment vehicles such as government and corporate securities). Our ability to attract and retain deposits, and our cost of funds, has been, and is expected to continue to be, significantly affected by money market conditions.
Borrowings
We use borrowings to supplement deposits when they are available at a lower overall cost to us or they can be invested at a positive rate of return.
19
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for borrowings from the FHLB. Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB may prescribe the acceptable uses to which the advances may be put, as well as on the size of the advances and repayment provisions. Borrowings from the FHLB were $4,000,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The FHLB advances are secured by the pledge of first mortgage loans and the pledge of our FHLB stock.
Capital resources
Stockholders equity at June 30, 2006 was $24,950,000, compared to $17,152,000 at December 31, 2005. The $7,798,000 increase in equity during the first six months of 2006 was due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $7,204,000 and net income of $624,000. The proceeds from the exercise of stock was primarily attributable to the cancellation of stock warrants discussed in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. Stockholders equity at June 30, 2005 was $15,996,000, compared to $14,985,000 at December 31, 2004. The $1,011,000 increase in equity during the first six months of 2005 was due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $376,000 from the exercise of stock warrants and net income of $604,000.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company issued $5.2 million in Trust Preferred Capital Notes. The Trust Preferred Capital Notes may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion.

Liquidity
Liquidity provides us with the ability to meet normal deposit withdrawals, while also providing for the credit needs of customers. We are committed to maintaining liquidity at a level sufficient to protect depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory requirements.
At June 30, 2006, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale totaled $18,112,000, or 7.6% of total assets, which we believe is adequate to meet short-term liquidity needs.
At June 30, 2006, we had commitments to originate $103,717,000 of loans. Fixed commitments to incur capital expenditures were less than $25,000 at June 30, 2006. Time deposits scheduled to mature in the 12-month period ending June 30, 2007 totaled $112,577,000 at June 30, 2006. We believe that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We further believe that loan repayments and other sources of funds such as deposit growth will be adequate to meet our foreseeable short- and long-term liquidity needs.
21
Interest rate sensitivity
An important element of asset/liability management is the monitoring of our sensitivity to interest rate movements. In order to measure the effects of interest rates on our net interest income, management takes into consideration the expected cash flows from the securities and loan portfolios and the expected magnitude of the repricing of specific asset and liability categories. We evaluate interest sensitivity risk and then formulate guidelines to manage this risk based on managements outlook regarding the economy, forecasted interest rate movements and other business factors. Our goal is to maximize and stabilize the net interest margin by limiting exposure to interest rate changes.
Contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual term of our loan portfolio. The average lives of mortgage loans are substantially less than their contractual terms because of loan prepayments and because of enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which gives us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. In addition, certain borrowers increase their equity in the security property by making payments in excess of those required under the terms of the mortgage.
The sale of fixed rate loans is intended to protect us from precipitous changes in the general level of interest rates. The valuation of adjustable rate mortgage loans is not as directly dependent on the level of interest rates as is the value of fixed rate loans. As with other investments, we regularly monitor the appropriateness of the level of adjustable rate mortgage loans in our portfolio and may decide from time to time to sell such loans and reinvest the proceeds in other adjustable rate investments.
The data in the following table reflects repricing or expected maturities of various assets and liabilities at June 30, 2006. The gap analysis represents the difference between interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in a specific time interval. Interest sensitivity gap analysis presents a position that existed at one particular point in time, and assumes that assets and liabilities with similar repricing characteristics will reprice at the same time and to the same degree.

(1) Includes nonaccrual loans of $1,194,000, which are spread throughout the categories. |
|

(2) Management believes that interest checking and savings accounts are generally not sensitive to changes in interest | ||||||||||||
rates and therefore has placed such deposits in the "13 to 36 months" category. |
|

|
At June 30, 2006, our assets that reprice within one year exceeded liabilities that reprice within one year by $32,321,000 and therefore we were in an asset sensitive position. An asset positive position, or positive gap, can adversely affect earnings in periods of falling interest rates, but can improve earnings in periods of rising interest rates. This positive position is due primarily to our adjustable rate loan portfolio.

Critical accounting policies
The financial condition and results of operations presented in the financial statements, accompanying notes to the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon our accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.
Presented below is a discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important accounting policies to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. These critical accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. See also Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements filed with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
We monitor and maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We maintain policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance they are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.
We evaluate various loans individually for impairment as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment. If a loan evaluated individually is not impaired, then the loan is assessed for impairment under SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, with a group of loans that have similar characteristics.
For loans without individual measures of impairment, we make estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan classification and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans is adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans and leases, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions .
The amounts of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans are added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to our allowance for loan losses as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision
24
for loan losses. We recognize the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the financial statements.
Impact of inflation and changing prices and seasonality
The financial statements in this document have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike industrial companies, most of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institutions performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation.

ITEM 3 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based upon an evaluation as of June 30, 2006 under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under such Act are made known to them in a timely fashion.
Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
