Highlight of Business Operations:

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 increased to $5.3 million from $5.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The three month period ended March 31, 2008 included $832,000 of gains realized on the settlement of interest rate swaps. An increase of approximately $1.1 million of net gains on mortgage loans to $1.62 million for the first quarter of 2009 was the primary reason for the increase, and was largely associated with a significant increase in refinancing activity from the decline in mortgage rates during the quarter. An increase in revenue from ATM and debit card processing offset slight declines in revenue from deposit and trust services and are the primary reasons for remaining changes in non-interest income. The lower level of equity market valuations in the first quarter of 2009 versus the first quarter of 2008 was the primary reason for the decrease in trust income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION Summary: Total assets were $2.09 billion at March 31, 2009 a decrease of $57.0 million from $2.15 billion at December 31, 2008. The overall decrease in total assets reflects a decline of $74.1 in our loan portfolio and $10.1 million in available for sale securities partially used to increase short-term investments by $34.2 million.
