The Company 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. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

- 10 -


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparties. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit and written financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. To the extent deemed necessary, collateral of varying types and amounts is held to secure customer performance under certain of those letters of credit outstanding.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, are commitments to extend credit (including availability of lines of credit) of $219.1$233.2 million and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written of $13.0$5.3 million.
Note 6. Allowance for CreditLoan Losses
The allowance for creditloan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio and lending-related commitments.portfolio. The allowance is increased by charges to earnings in the form of provisionsprovision for loan losses and lending-related commitments and recoveries of prior loan charge-offs, and decreased by loans charged off. The provisions areprovision is calculated to bring the allowance to a level which, according to a systematic process of measurement, reflects the amount management estimates is needed to absorb probable losses within the portfolio and lending-related commitments.portfolio.
Management performs periodic assessments to determine the appropriate level of allowance. Differences between actual loan loss experience and estimates are reflected through adjustments that are made by either increasing or decreasing the loss provision based upon current measurement criteria. Commercial, consumer and mortgage loan portfolios are evaluated separately for purposes of determining the allowance. The specific components of the allowance include allocations to individual commercial credits and allocations to the remaining non-homogeneous and homogeneous pools of loans. Management’s allocations are based on judgment of qualitative and quantitative factors about both macro and micro economic conditions reflected within the portfolio of loans and the economy as a whole. Factors considered in this evaluation include, but are not necessarily limited to, probable losses from loan and other credit arrangements, general economic conditions, changes in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, historical loan loss experience, and trends in portfolio volume, maturities, composition, delinquencies, and non-accruals. While management has allocated the allowance for creditloan losses to various portfolio segments, the entire allowance is available for use against any type of loan loss deemed appropriate by management.
In the third quarter of 2005, the Company charged down $2.2 million of a $4.3 million commercial real estate loan, and transferred the $2.1 million balance to non-accrual loans. The loan had been previously disclosed as a potential problem loan, and carried a specific reserve allocation of $2.2 million.

The weighted-average interest rates of advances are 4.81%4.21% and 5.54%4.17% at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2004,2005, respectively.
In January 2006, the Company entered into a derivative swap instrument where it receives LIBOR-based variable interest payments and pays fixed interest payments. The notional amount of the derivative swap is $50 million and effectively fixes a portion of the FHLB borrowings at approximately 4.34%. After considering the effect of the interest rate swap, the effective weighted-average interest rate of the FHLB borrowings is 4.27% at March 31, 2006.
At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the FHLB advances have maturities between twonine months and 815 years. The scheduled maturities of the advances are as follows:
        
Year Amount

The callable advances may be redeemed at quarterly intervals after various lockout periods. These call options may substantially shorten the lives of these instruments. If these advances are called, the debt may be paid in full, converted to another FHLB credit product, or converted to ana fixed or adjustable rate advance. Prepayment of the advances may result in substantial penalties based upon the differential between contractual note rates and current advance rates for similar maturities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by stock in the FHLB of Atlanta, qualifying first mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, and certain other securities.

The Trust was able to purchase the Debentures through the issuance of trust preferred securities which had substantially identical terms as the Debentures. The Debentures mature on October 8, 2033, and are callable beginning October 8, 2008. The net proceeds from the offering were contributed as capital to the BankCompany’s subsidiary bank to support further growth.
The Company has committed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the following payments or distributions with respect to the preferred securities to the holders thereof to the extent that the Trust has not made such payments or distributions: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions, (ii) the redemption price, and (iii) upon a dissolution or termination of the trust, the lesser of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions and the amount of assets of the trust remaining available for distribution, in each case to the extent the Trust has funds available.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a defendant in various legal actions and asserted claims, most of which involve lending, collection and employment matters.

The Company maintains share-based compensation plans to encourage and sales taxfacilitate investment in onethe common stock of the Company’s tax jurisdictions was recently concluded.Company by key executives and to assist in the long-term retention of service by those executives. The outcomeCompany has four stock-based compensation plans. The 1999 Stock Option Plan has non-qualified stock options awarded that will continue to vest through 2008. The 2001 Director Option Plan has awards made to directors that are fully vested. Awards made under the CommonWealth Plan were fully vested at the point of grant. The 2004 Omnibus Stock Option Plan allows for the award of non-qualified and incentive stock options, as well as restricted and unrestricted stock. Vesting under the 2004 plan is generally over a three-year period.
The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), on January 1, 2006, using the “modified prospective” method. Under this audit was favorablemethod, awards that are granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2005, are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. Also under this method, expense is recognized for unvested awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006, based upon the fair value determined at the grant date under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for stock compensation under the intrinsic value method permitted by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and will result in total state income and franchise tax refunds of approximately $470 thousand, subjectrelated interpretations.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options and shares usedthe vesting of restricted stock as operating cash flows in computingthe Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options and restricted stock (“excess tax benefits”) to be classified as financing cash flows. An excess tax benefit totaling $42 thousand is classified as a financing cash inflow for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, pre-tax income and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, are approximately $71 thousand and $43 thousand lower, respectively, than accounting for stock options under the intrinsic value method. The increased compensation expense resulting from the adoption of SFAS 123R had no effect on basic andor diluted earnings per share for the threefirst quarter of 2006.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to total equity-based compensation of approximately $188 thousand.
As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $656 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The actual compensation cost recognized will differ from this estimate due to a number of items, including new awards granted and nine monthschanges in estimated forfeitures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
First Community Bancshares, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of First Community Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004.2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2004,2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 11, 2005,3, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004,2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the First Community Bancshares, Inc.’s (the Company)“Company”) financial condition and results of operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2004Company’s 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K and the other financial information included in this report.
The Company is a multi-state bank holding company headquartered in Bluefield, Virginia, with total assets of $1.99 billion at September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. Through its community bank subsidiary, First Community Bank, N. A. (the “Bank”), the Company provides financial, trust and investment advisory services to individuals and commercial customers through fifty-three full-servicesixty banking locations and six loan production offices and two assetwealth management offices located in the four states of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The First Community Bank N. A. is the parent of Stone Capital, a SEC registeredSEC-registered investment advisory firm that offers wealth management and investment advice. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol “FCBC”.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in its filings with the SEC (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Exhibits hereto and thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications 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 include, among others, statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond the Company’s control). The words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from that 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, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of competitive new products and services of the Company and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services and vice versa; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes; the effect of acquisitions, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions; the growth and profitability of the Company’s non-interest or fee income being less than expected; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; changes in consumer spending and saving 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.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company’s consolidated financial position and/orand consolidated results of operations.
Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary principally when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at estimated fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded based upon the probability of occurrence of a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by third party sources, when available. When third party information

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.Operation. The following is a summary of the Company’s more subjective and complex “critical accounting policies.” In addition, the disclosures presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in management’s discussionManagement’s Discussion and analysisAnalysis provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified i.) the determination of the allowance for creditloan losses, ii.) accounting for acquisitions and intangible assets, and iii.) accounting for income taxes as the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments. Derivatives hedging practices were previously included, but were eliminatedThe identified critical accounting policies are described in August 2004 with the disposition ofdetail in the Company’s mortgage banking subsidiary.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio and is based2005 Annual Report on management’s evaluation of the risks in the loan portfolio andForm 10-K. There have been no material changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for lending-related commitments. Estimates for credit losses are determined by analyzing historical loan losses, current trends in delinquencies and charge-offs, plans for problem loan resolution, the opinions of FCBI’s regulators, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio and industry information. Also included in management’s estimates for credit losses are considerations with respect to the impact of economic events, the outcome of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, a general slowdown in the economy, fluctuations in overall lending rates, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry, and economic conditions affecting specific geographic areas in which the Company conducts business.
The Company determines the allowance for credit losses by making specific allocations to impaired loans and loan pools that exhibit inherent weaknesses and various credit risk factors. Allocations to loan pools are developed giving weight to risk ratings, historical loss trends and management’s judgment concerning those trends and other relevant factors. These factors may include, among others, actual versus estimated losses, regional and national economic conditions, business segment and portfolio concentrations, industry competition and consolidation, and the impact of government regulations. The foregoing analysis is performed by management to evaluate the portfolio and calculate an estimated valuation allowance through a quantitative and qualitative analysis that applies risk factors to those identified risk areas.
This risk management evaluation is applied at both the portfolio level and the individual loan level for commercial loans and credit relationships while the level of consumer and residential mortgage loan allowance is determined primarily on a total portfolio level based on a review of historical loss percentages and other qualitative factors including concentrations, industry specific factors and economic conditions. The commercial and commercial real estate portfolios require more specific analysis of individually significant loans and the borrower’s underlying cash flow, business conditions, capacity for debt repayment and the valuation of secondary sources of payment, such as collateral. This analysis may result in specifically identified weaknesses and corresponding specific impairment allowances.
The use of various estimates and judgments in the Company’s ongoing evaluation of the required level of allowance can significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and may result in either greater provisions against earnings to increase the allowance or reduced provisions based upon management’s current view of portfolio and economic conditions and the application of revised estimates and assumptions.
Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
As part of its growth plan, the Company engages in business combinations with other companies. The acquisition of a business is generally accounted for under purchasecritical accounting rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Purchase accounting requires the recording of underlying assets and liabilities of the entity acquired at their fair market value. Any excess of the purchase price of the business over the net assets acquired and any identified intangibles is recorded as goodwill. Fair values are assigned based on quoted prices for similar assets, if readily available, or appraisal by qualified independent parties for relevant asset and liability categories. Financial assets and liabilities are typically valued using discount models which apply current discount rates to streams of cash flow. All of these valuation methods require the use of assumptions which can result in alternate valuations and varying levels of goodwill and, in some cases, amortization expense or accretion income.

-19-


Management must also make estimates of useful or economic lives of certain acquired assets and liabilities. These lives are used in establishing amortization and accretion of some intangible assets and liabilities, such as the intangible associated with core deposits acquired in the acquisition of a commercial bank.
Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the purchase price, if any, over the fair value of the revalued net assets. Goodwill is tested at least annually in the month of November for possible impairment. This testing again uses a discounted cash flow model applied to the anticipated stream of cash flows from operations of the business or segment being tested. Impairment testing necessarily uses estimates in the form of growth and attrition rates, anticipated rates of return, and discount rates. These estimates have a direct bearing on the results of the impairment testing and serve as the basis for management’s conclusions as to impairment.
Income Taxes
The establishment of provisions for federal and state income taxes is a complex area of accounting which also involves the use of judgments and estimates in applying relevant tax statutes. The Company operates in multiple state tax jurisdictions and this requires the appropriate allocation of income and expense to each state based on a variety of apportionment or allocation bases. Management strives to keep abreast of changes in tax law and the issuance of regulations which may impact tax reporting and provisions for income tax expense. The Company is also subject to audit by federal and state tax authorities. Results of these audits may produce indicated liabilities which differ from Company estimates and provisions. The Company continually evaluates its exposure to possible tax assessments arising from audits and records its estimate of possible exposure based on current facts and circumstances. The Company recently completed a state tax audit. The results of that audit are discussed under the heading “Results of Operations – Income Tax Expense.”policies since December 31, 2005.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Company is a full service commercial bank holding company which operates within the four-state region of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The Company operates through its community bank subsidiary, First Communitythe Bank, N. A. and offers a wide range of financial services. The Company reported total assets of $1.99 billion at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, and operates through fifty-three full servicesixty banking offices and six commercial loan production offices in addition to its assetwealth management offices.
The Company funds its lending activities primarily through the retail deposit operations of its branch banking network. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) provide additional funding as needed from time to time.needed. The Company invests its funds primarily in loans to retail and commercial customers. In addition to loans, the Company also invests a portion of its funds in various debt securities, including those of United States agencies, state and political subdivisions, and certain corporate notes and debt instruments. The Company also maintains overnight interest-bearing balances with the FHLB and correspondent banks. The difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities is the Company’s primary source of earnings. In August 2004, the Company divested itself of its mortgage subsidiary. Small losses from discontinued operations in 2005 stem from residual costs of remaining leases and trailing personnel costs.
RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND BRANCHING ACTIVITY
In August 2005,March 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Sonabank, N. A.,Smith River Community Bank to sell its branch location in Clifton Forge,Drakes Branch, Virginia. The branch had deposits and repurchase agreements totaling approximately $46$16.1 million and loans of approximately $9$1.9 million at JulyDecember 31, 2005. The transaction is expected to result in an approximate $3.9 million pre-taxa gain on sale,of approximately $726 thousand, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2005,June 30, 2006, subject to regulatory approvals.
Also in March 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Clear Mountain Bank to sell its branch location in Rowlesburg, West Virginia. The branch salehad deposits and repurchase agreements totaling approximately $10.7 million and loans of approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 2005.

The Company acquired PCB Bancorp, Inc., a Tennessee-chartered bank holding company (“PCB Bancorp”) after the close of business on March 31, 2004. PCB Bancorp had five full service branch offices located in Johnson City, Kingsport and surrounding areas in Washington and Sullivan Counties in East Tennessee. PCB Bancorp had total assets of $171 million, loans of $128 million and total deposits of $150 million as of the date of the merger. The assets, liabilities and results of operations have been included in the Company’s financial statements beginning with the second quarter 2004.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, shares of PCB Bancorp common stock were purchased for $40.00 per share in cash. The total deal value, including the cash-out of outstanding stock options, was approximately $36.0 million. Concurrent with the PCB Bancorp acquisition, Peoples Community Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of PCB Bancorp, was merged into First Community Bank, N. A.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Total assets at September 30, 2005, increased $156.7 million to $1.99 billion from December 31, 2004, an annualized growth rate of 11%. The increases in the balance sheet were primarily driven by the addition of $82.5 million in loans, $26.5 million in investment securities, and $30.4 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks. Increases in assets were funded primarily through increases of $87.0 million in deposits, $15.9 million in repurchase agreements, and borrowings of $75.3 million.
Securities
Securities available for sale were $424.6 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $388.7 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $36.0 million. This change reflects the purchase of $90.3 million in securities, $4.6 million in maturities and calls, proceeds from sales of $18.3 million, a market value decrease of approximately $1.1 million, the continuation of larger pay-downs of $29.2 million on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations triggered by the low interest rate environment and approximately $1.1 million in bond premium amortization. Securities available for sale are recorded at their estimated fair market value. The unrealized gain or loss, which is the difference between amortized cost and estimated market value, net of related deferred taxes, is recognized in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet as either accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. The unrealized gain after taxes of $1.7 million at September 30, 2005, represents a decrease of $661 thousand from the $2.4 million gain at December 31, 2004, the result of market value changes in reaction to rate movements on similar instruments.
The Company attempts to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk within its securities portfolio. At September 30, 2005, the average life and duration of the portfolio were 5.6 years and 4.3, respectively. Average life and duration were somewhat higher than December 31, 2004, at 4.0 years and 3.5, respectively. However, the Company has been shifting towards more floating-rate securities. At September 30, 2005, 21% of the portfolio was floating-rate, compared to 16% at December 31, 2004.
The Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio is reported at fair value. The fair value of most securities is determined based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on quoted prices of similar instruments. Available-for-sale and held to maturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. This review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as

-21-


the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security’s performance, the credit worthiness of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery or maturity. At September 30, 2005, the combined depreciation in value of the individual securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months was less than 1% of the combined reported value of the aggregate securities portfolio. Management does not believe any unrealized loss, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 2005, represents other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Furthermore, the Company believes the value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not the credit quality of the issuer.
Securities held to maturity totaled $24.7 million at September 30, 2005, reflective of a continuing decrease due primarily to continuing paydowns, maturities and calls within the portfolio. The market value of investment securities held to maturity was 103.7% and 104.1% of book value at September 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. Recent trends in interest rates have had little effect on the portfolio market value since December 31, 2004, due to its larger percentage of municipal securities which display less price sensitivity to rate changes.
Loan Portfolio
Loans Held for Sale:The $1.4 million balance of loans held for sale at September 30, 2005, are long-term mortgage loans that are sold to investors on a best efforts basis; accordingly, the Company does not retain the interest rate risk involved in the commitment. The gross notional amount of outstanding commitments at September 30, 2005, was $6.2 million on 48 loans.
Loans Held for Investment:Total loans held for investment increased $82.5 million to $1.32 billion at September 30, 2005, from the $1.24 billion level at December 31, 2004, and increased $92.0 million from September 30, 2004, as a result of increased loan production and contributions by new loan production offices. The loan to deposit ratio increased slightly to 91.5% at September 30, 2005, compared with 91.2% at December 31, 2004, and 90.2% at September 30, 2004. 2005 year-to-date average loans held for investment of $1.29 billion increased $160.0 million when compared to the average for the first nine months of 2004 of $1.13 billion. The increase in average loans reflects the impact of the acquisition of PCB on March 31, 2004.
The held for investment loan portfolio continues to be diversified among loan types and industry segments. The following table presents the various loan categories and changes in composition as of September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets include loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned (“OREO”), and repossessions. Non-performing assets were $7.1 million at September 30, 2005, $6.6 million at December 31, 2004, and $5.4 million at September 30, 2004. The percentage of non-performing assets to total loans, OREO and repossessions was 0.54% at September 30, 2005, consistent with 0.53% at December 31, 2004, and up from 0.44% at September 30, 2004.

At September 30, 2005, non-accrual loans increased $249 thousand from December 31, 2004, and increased $1.7 million from September 30, 2004. Ninety-day past due and accruing loans remained at zero. Ongoing activity within the classification and categories of non-performing loans continues to include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures and movements into or out of the non-performing classification as a result of changing customer business conditions. OREO of $1.7 million increased from December 31, 2004, and is comparable to September 30, 2004. OREO is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost.
In the third quarter of 2005, the Company charged down $2.2 million of a $4.3 million commercial real estate loan, and transferred the $2.1 million balance to non-accrual loans. The loan had been previously disclosed as a potential problem loan, and carried a specific reserve allocation of $2.2 million.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
Total deposits grew by $87.0 million or 6.4% during the first nine months of 2005. Non interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $16.0 million, while interest-bearing demand deposits remained stable. Savings decreased $10.1 million while time deposits increased $78.9 million, or 13.1%. The attrition from savings and the increase in time deposits reflects the continued migration of new and current customer funds in response to the upward movement in time deposit interest rates.
The Company’s convertible and callable FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2005, increased $75.0 million to $182.4 million. The first and second quarter advances allowed the Company to fund increasing loan demand, lock in current low-cost funding, and increase the asset-sensitive position of the Company. Noncallable term advances decreased slightly to $9.3 million. For further discussion of FHLB borrowings, see the Borrowings Note to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $15.9 million in the first nine months of 2005. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at September 30, 2005, as the Company experienced increased liquidity in the first nine months of 2005.
Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased $10.2 million from December 31, 2004, as the Company continued to balance capital adequacy and returns to stockholders. The increase in equity was due mainly to net earnings of $19.1 million after dividends paid to stockholders of $8.6 million.
Risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratio measure capital adequacy of banking institutions. Risk-based capital guidelines weight balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet commitments based on inherent risks associated with the respective asset types. At September 30, 2005, the Company’s total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 11.33% versus 12.09% at December 31, 2004. The Company’s Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 10.25% at September 30, 2005, compared to 10.80% at December 31, 2004. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at September 30, 2005, was 7.71% compared to 7.62% at December 31, 2004. All of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios exceed the current well-capitalized levels prescribed for banks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $19.1 million or $1.69 per basic and $1.68 per diluted share, compared with $16.3 million or $1.45 per basic and $1.44 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was 13.49% compared to 12.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Return on average assets was 1.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 1.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
The $2.8 million increase in net income between 2004 and 2005 is largely due to the elimination of losses from the now discontinued operations of the Company’s former mortgage banking subsidiary. While income from continuing operations remained constant at $26.6 million, 2004 results benefited from an additional $830 thousand in investment securities gains. The higher effective tax rate from continuing operations in 2005 also resulted in an additional $555 thousand in income taxes.
Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $19.2 million, versus $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Return on average equity from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2005 was 13.57% compared to 14.97% for the first nine months of last year. Return on average assets from continuing operations was 1.35% compared to 1.49% for the first nine months of 2004.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, was $6.9$6.8 million or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, compared with $6.4$6.0 million or $0.57$0.53 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005. Return on average equity for the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006 was 14.23%14.09% compared to 13.06%13.00% for the same period of 2004.three months ended March 31, 2005. Return on average assets was 1.40%1.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and 1.22% for the comparable period of 2004.
Income from continuing operationsMarch 31, 2006, compared to 1.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, was $6.9 million, versus $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Return on average equity from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2005 was 14.28% compared to 17.33% for the same period last year and return on average assets from continuing operations was 1.40% in 2005, compared to 1.65% for 2004.
In August 2004, the Company sold its mortgage banking subsidiary. The loss from discontinued operations was $126 thousand for the first nine months of 2005, compared to $3.5 million or $0.31 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005.
Net Interest Income – Quarterly Comparison (See Table I)
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $18.7 million compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $1 million. Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1.4 million, or 7.5%, from $18.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, to $19.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. For purposes of the net interest income discussions, comparisons are made on a tax-equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable. The yield on earning assets increased 38 basis points to 6.43%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 48 basis points to 2.50%. The result was a 10 basis point decrease in the net interest rate spread for the quarter compared to 2004. Tax-equivalent net interest margin remained steady at 4.33%. Net interest spread for the third quarter of 2005 was 3.93%.
In this period of continuing industry-wide margin compression, the Company’s margin has remained relatively strong. The Company’s loan portfolio continues to produce increasing yields. The yield on loans for the third quarter of 2005 increased 44 basis points over the comparable period to 6.99%. Increases in deposit and borrowing costs have been managed through the Company’s asset/liability and pricing management processes. Maintaining lower borrowing costs in the rising rate environment has been, and continues to be, dependent on control of savings and time deposit rates, which are influenced by market and competitive forces.
Average earning assets increased $123.5 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004, contributing to the improvements noted in net interest income. The largest increase in average earning assets was in average loans held for investment of $106.8 million. Securities available for sale decreased $1.2 million while the tax-equivalent yield increased 35 basis points. Average securities held-to-maturity decreased $8.0 million while the tax-equivalent yield decreased 73 basis points. Average interest-bearing deposit with banks increased $26.0 million to $39.4 million and yielded 3.46%.

-24-


The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was smaller at $94.8 million, and was mostly driven by increases in time deposits of $50.7 million and borrowings of $58.5 million. Total interest-bearing deposits increased $27.1 million, but due to the continuing customer shift from certain transaction accounts to time deposits, the cost on total interest-bearing deposits increased 39 basis points.
The $1.4 million increase in tax-equivalent net interest income was achieved through the combined effect of changes in volume and corresponding rates on the underlying assets and liabilities. Earnings attributable to the net volume increase in earning assets over paying liabilities was approximately $1.1 million while the effect of changing rates represented an addition of approximately $263 thousand for a combined effect on net interest income of an additional $1.4 million.
Net Interest Income — Year to Date Comparison (See Table II)
Net interest income, the largest contributor to earnings, was $55.0$18.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, compared to $51.3$17.8 million for the corresponding period in 2004.2005. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $58.1$19.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, an increase of $4.0 million$226 thousand from the $54.1$18.8 million for the first ninethree months of 2004.2005. The increase reflects a $5.2 million$387 thousand increase due to increased volume, which was partially offset by a $1.2 million$161 thousand decrease due to rate changes on the underlying assets and liabilities.

The loan portfolio contributed approximately $10.0$3.2 million to the change in interest income, while the portfolio’s average yield increased 2259 basis points from the prior year to 6.85%7.27%. The volume of variable rate loans tied to prime and other indices increased in response to the recent increases in short-term interest rates.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the tax-equivalent yield on securities available for sale increased 3137 basis points to 4.93%5.26%, while the average balance decreasedincreased by $42.7$20.1 million. Although the total portfolio decreased through the period, theThe average tax-equivalent yield increased due to the addition of higher-ratehigher rate securities and the reduction of lower-ratelower rate securities. Funds received from the paydowns, maturities, calls, and sales of investment securities helped fund the loan growth.
Compared to the first ninethree months of 2004,2005, average interest-bearing balances with banks remained steady at $31.2decreased slightly to $28.8 million during the first ninethree months of 2005,2006, while the yield increased 150134 basis points to 3.15%4.15%.
The Company actively manages its product pricing by staying abreast of the current economic climate and competitive forces in order to enhance repricing opportunities available with respect to the liability side of its balance sheet. In doing so, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 36 basis points from 1.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, to 2.29% for the same period of 2005 while the average volume increased $92 million.
The average balance of borrowings increased by $24.9 million in 2005 to $170.6 million, while the rate paid on those borrowings increased 47 basis points. These changes were due to the combined effects of the addition of balances added from the PCB acquisition, the allocation of FHLB borrowings to the discontinued segment in 2004, the call of a $25.0 million advance at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004, and the subsequent take-downs of $25.0 million and $50.0 million FHLB advances in mid-first quarter and the end of the second quarter 2005, respectively.
Compared to the same period in 2004, average federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements increased $18.2 million at September 30, 2005, while the average rate increased 79 basis points. In addition, the average balances of interest-bearing demand and savings deposits increased $5.9decreased $6.9 million and $7.3$16.4 million, respectively, for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. The average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits remained consistent, increasing only 2increased slightly by 5 basis points, while the average rate paid on savings increased 1990 basis points. Average time deposits increased $35.6$46.3 million while the average rate paid increased 3697 basis points from 2.44%2.56% in 20042005 to 2.80%3.53% in 2005.2006. The level of average non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $18.1$11.9 million to $227.0$231.6 million at September 30, 2005,during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
The changes in average deposits between the two quarters includes the effect of the previously disclosed sale of the Company’s Clifton Forge, Virginia, branch which had average noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, savings, and time deposits of $4.1 million, $6.8 million, $11.8 million, and $22.3��million, respectively during the first quarter of 2005.
Compared to the same period in 2005, average federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements remained steady at $130.6 million during the first quarter of 2006, while the average rate increased 122 basis points. The average balance of FHLB borrowings and other long-term debt increased by $55.4 million in 2006 to $200.0 million, while the rate paid on those borrowings decreased 79 basis points. The significant decrease in the rate is due to the FHLB debt restructuring near year-end 2005, where the Company paid off high interest rate obligations. The increase in the balance of FHLB borrowings is primarily attributable to the $50 million advance drawn late in the second quarter of 2005.

Provision and Allowance for CreditLoan Losses
The allowance for loan losses was $14.8 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $14.7 million at December 31, 2005 and $16.5 million at March 31, 2005. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is made up of two separate components. The primary component is the allowance for loan losses, and is presented as such on the balance sheet. The allowance for losses attributable to lending-related commitments, such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit, is the allowance for lending-related commitments, and is included in other liabilities. The combination of the two allowances is referred to as the allowance for credit losses. At September 30, 2005, the Company’s allowance for loan losses and the allowance for lending-related liabilities were $14.5 million and $460 thousand, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses was $14.9 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2004 and $16.2 million at September 30, 2004. The allowance for credit losses represents 276% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2005, versus 316% and 441% at December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively. When other real estate and repossessions are combined with non-performing loans, the allowance equals 210% of non-performing assets at September 30, 2005, versus 248% and 303% at December 31, 2004, and September 30, 2004, respectively.
The Company’s allowance for credit loss activity for the three- and nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, are as follows:

Net charge-offs for the first ninethree months of 20052006 were $4.3 million,$347 thousand, compared to $2.6 million$487 thousand for the corresponding period in 2004.2005. Expressed as a percentage of average loans held for investment, net charge-offs increaseddecreased from 0.22%0.15% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2004,March 31, 2005, to 0.33%0.10% for the same period of 2005. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, were negatively influenced by the charge off of the commercial relationship discussed under “Non-Performing Assets.”
The provision for credit losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, was $907 thousand compared to $1.2 million for the same quarter of 2004. Net charge offs were $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2005, versus $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2004.2006.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income consists of all revenues which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Non-interest income from continuing operations for the thirdfirst quarter of 20052006 was $5.0$5.1 million compared to $4.3$3.7 million in the same period of 2004.2005, an increase of 38%. The thirdfirst quarter of 20052006 included securities gains which were $476$137 thousand greater than those recognized in 2004.2005. The remaining components of non-interest income increased by $278 thousand,$1.3 million, or 6.6%35%, in the thirdfirst quarter of 20052006 compared to the same period of 2004.2005.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $13.1$13.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, increasing $881$837 thousand, or 7.2%6.7%, over the same period of 2004. Year-to-date non-interest expense was $38.9 million, an2005. The increase of $3.5 million, or 11%, over the same period in 2004. The increases over the thirdfirst quarter and year-to-date periods in 2004 are2005 is primarily attributable to increases in salaries and benefits of $453$583 thousand, which included stock option expense of $71 thousand and $2.4 million, respectively. The increases are due to increases in staffing to support added corporate servicesincentive payments and continued branch growth and increased health benefits costs.commissions of $307 thousand. In addition to human resource costs, year-to-date costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and audit fees havelegal expenses increased $332$105 thousand compared to 2004.2005. All other components of non-interest expense remained relatively stable between the two periods.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense is comprised of federal and state current and deferred income taxes on pre-tax earnings of the Company. Income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax income may vary significantly from statutory rates due to items of income and expense which are excluded, by law, from the calculation of taxable income. These items are commonly referred to as permanent differences. The most significant permanent differences for the Company include i) income on state and municipal securities which are exempt from federal income tax, ii) certain dividend payments which are deductible by the Company, and iii) tax credits generated by investments in low income housing and iv) for 2004, goodwill impairment expense which is not deductible.historic rehabilitations.
For the thirdfirst quarter of 2005,2006, consolidated income taxes were $2.6 million compared to $914 thousand$2.2 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2004.2005. For the quarters ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, the effective tax rates were 27.54%27.74% and 12.48%26.80%, respectively. For the first nine months of 2005, consolidated income taxes were $7.3 million, a 27.65%The effective tax rate was higher during the current quarter due to a lower proportion of tax-free municipal security interest income than in the first quarter of 2005.
FINANCIAL POSITION
Total assets at March 31, 2006, increased $36 million to $1.99 billion from December 31, 2005, an annualized growth rate of 7.5%. The increases in the balance sheet were primarily driven by the addition of $48 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks. This increase was partially offset by small decreases in total loans and investment securities.

Securities
Securities available for sale were $396.7 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $4.8$404.4 million an effective tax rateat December 31, 2005, a decrease of 22.81%, for the first nine months of 2004. Effective tax rates for the 2004 periods were less than comparable current periods due to the tax benefits realized from the divestiture of the mortgage banking subsidiary.
The previously disclosed state tax audit of state income, franchise, and sales tax in one of the Company’s tax jurisdictions was recently concluded. The outcome of this audit was favorable to the Company and will result in total state income and franchise tax refunds of approximately $470 thousand, subject to the final filing of amended returns. The Company regularly evaluates the tax provision and continues to believe that it has established appropriate provisions for state income and franchise taxes.

The Company performedattempts to maintain an evaluationacceptable level of interest rate risk within its exposuresecurities portfolio. At March 31, 2006, the average life and duration of the portfolio were 7.3 years and 5.5, respectively. Average life and duration were somewhat higher than December 31, 2005, at 7.0 years and 5.4, respectively. However, the Company has been shifting towards more floating-rate securities. At March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, 22% of the portfolio was floating-rate.
The Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio is reported at fair value. The fair value of most securities is determined based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on quoted prices of similar instruments. Available-for-sale and held to potentialmaturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. This review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as the length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security’s performance, the creditworthiness of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery or maturity. Management does not believe any unrealized loss, individually or in the aggregate, as of March 31, 2006, represents other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Furthermore, the Company believes the decrease in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not the credit quality of the issuer.
Securities held to maturity totaled $22.8 million at March 31, 2006, reflective of continuing paydowns, maturities and calls within the portfolio. The market value of investment securities held to maturity was 102.4% and 102.9% of book value at March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Loan Portfolio
Loans Held for Sale:The $848 thousand balance of loans held for sale at March 31, 2006, are long-term mortgage loans that are sold to investors on a best efforts basis. Accordingly, the Company does not retain the interest rate risk involved in the commitment. The gross notional amount of outstanding commitments at March 31, 2006, was $3.4 million on 30 loans.
Loans Held for Investment:Total loans held for investment remained relatively stable at $1.33 billion at March 31, 2006, compared to December 31, 2005, and increased $47.1 million from March 31, 2005, as a result of increased loan production and contributions by new loan production offices. The average loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 94.2% for the devastation causedfirst quarter of 2006, compared to 92.3% for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 91.2% for the first quarter of 2005. 2006 year-to-date average loans of $1.34 billion increased $74.6 million when compared to the average for the first three months of 2005 of $1.26 billion.
The held for investment loan portfolio continues to be diversified among loan types and industry segments. The following table presents the various loan categories and changes in composition as of March 31, 2006, December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets include loans on non-accrual status, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, other real estate owned (“OREO”), and repossessions. Non-performing assets were $3.4 million at March 31, 2006,

At March 31, 2006, non-accrual loans decreased $866 thousand from December 31, 2005, and $3.9 million from March 31, 2005. The decrease in non-accrual loans is reflective of the Company’s increasing credit quality. Ongoing activity within the classification and categories of non-performing loans continues to include collections on delinquencies, foreclosures and movements into or out of the non-performing classification as a result of changing customer business conditions. OREO of $867 thousand decreased from both March 31 and December 31, 2005, levels as a result of property sales. OREO is carried at the lesser of estimated net realizable value or cost.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
Total deposits grew by $36.1 million or 2.6% during the first three months of 2006. Non interest-bearing demand deposits increased by $16.0 million and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $4.7 million. Savings increased $7.5 million and time deposits increased $7.9 million.
In December 2005, the Company prepaid $77 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, with interest rates ranging from 5.71% to 6.27%, with a weighted-average rate and maturity of 5.96% and 4.3 years, respectively. In January 2006, the Company drew additional FHLB advances of $75 million, with a floating interest rate based on 3-month LIBOR, and which mature in fifteen years. The FHLB has the option, after five years, to convert the new advances to a fixed interest rate of 4%. Concurrent with the new advances, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effectively fixing the rate on $50 million of the new advances for five years. Under the terms of the swap, the Company will pay fixed interest payments of 4.335% on a notional $50 million, and receive floating interest rate payments of 3-month LIBOR less 45 basis points. The Company expects to save approximately $813 thousand in annual interest expense on the $50 million fixed by hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilmathe interest rate swap. The remaining $25 million will float at an interest rate based on 3-month LIBOR. The initial interest rate on the floating portion of the FHLB advances is approximately 1.86% less than the weighted-average rate of the prepaid advances. For further discussion of FHLB borrowings, see the Borrowings note to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $6.9 million in the statesfirst three months of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida,2006. There were no federal funds purchased outstanding at March 31, 2006, as the Company experienced increased liquidity in the first three months of 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company maintained a significant level of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalent balances of $55.9$106.0 million, investment securities available for sale of $424.6$396.7 million, and FHLB credit availability of approximately $205.3$162.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents as well as advances from the FHLB are immediately available for satisfaction of deposit withdrawals, customer credit needs and operations of the Company. Investment securities available for sale represent a secondary level of liquidity available for conversion to liquid funds in the event of extraordinary needs. The Company also maintains approved lines of credit with correspondent banks as backup liquidity sources.
The Company maintains a liquidity policy as a means to manage the liquidity risk process and associated risk. The policy includes a Liquidity Contingency Plan (“Liquidity(the “Liquidity Plan”) that is designed as a tool for the Company to detect liquidity issues promptly in order to protect depositors, creditors and shareholders. The Liquidity Plan includes monitoring various internal and external indicators such as changes in core deposits and changes in market conditions. It provides for timely responses to

-30-


a wide variety of funding scenarios ranging from changes in loan demand to a decline in the Company’s quarterly earnings to a decline in the market price of the Company’s stock. The Liquidity Plan calls for specific responses designed to meet a wide range of liquidity needs based upon assessments on a recurring basis by management and the Board of Directors.
Interest Rate Risk and Asset/Liability Management
The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income, (“NII”), which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-earning assets reprice differently than interest-bearing liabilities. The Company manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds while maintaining an acceptable level of NIInet interest income given the current interest rate environment.
The Company’s primary component of operational revenue, NII,net interest income, is subject to variation as a result of changes in interest rate environments in conjunction with unbalanced repricing opportunities on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk has four primary components including repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk and option risk. Repricing risk occurs when earning assets and paying liabilities reprice at differing times as interest rates change. Basis risk occurs when the underlying rates on the assets and liabilities the institution holds change at different levels or in varying degrees. Yield curve risk is the risk of adverse consequences as a result of unequal changes in the spread between two or more rates for different maturities for the same instrument. Lastly, option risk is due to “embeddedembedded options, often put or call options, given or sold to holders of financial instruments.
In order to mitigate the effect of changes in the general level of interest rates, the Company manages repricing opportunities and thus, its interest rate sensitivity. The Company seeks to control its IRRinterest rate risk exposure to insulate NIInet interest income and net earnings from fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. To measure its exposure to IRR,interest rate risk, quarterly simulations of NIInet interest income are performed using financial models that project NIInet interest income through a range of possible interest rate environments including rising, declining, most likely and flat rate scenarios. The simulation model used by the Company captures all earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and all off-balance sheet financial instruments and combines the various factors affecting rate sensitivity into an earnings outlook. The results of these simulations indicate the existence and severity of IRRinterest rate risk in each of those rate environments based upon the current balance sheet position, assumptions as to changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-paying liabilities and management’s estimate of yields to be attained in those future rate environments and rates that will be paid on various deposit instruments and borrowings. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on NII.net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, as well as changes in market conditions and

- 26 -


management’s strategies. However, the earnings simulation model is currently the best tool available to management for managing IRR.interest rate risk.
Specific strategies for management of IRRinterest rate risk have included shortening the amortized maturity of new fixed-rate loans, increasing the volume of adjustable-rate loans to reduce the average maturity of the Company’s interest-earning assets and monitoring the term structure of liabilities to maintain a balanced mix of maturity and re-pricing structures to mitigate the potential exposure. Based upon the latest simulation, the Company believes that it is biased toward an asset sensitive position. Absent adequate management, asset sensitive positions can negatively impact net interest income in a falling rate environment or, alternatively, positively impact net interest income in a rising rate environment.
The Company has established policy limits for tolerance of interest rate risk that allow for no more than a 10% reduction in projected NIInet interest income based on a comparison of quarterly net interest income simulations compared to forecasted results.in various interest rate scenarios. In addition, the policy addresses exposure limits to changes in the Economic Valueeconomic value of Equity (“EVE”)equity according to predefined policy guidelines. The most recent simulation indicates that current exposure to interest rate risk is within the Company’s defined policy limits.

When comparing the impact of the rate shock analysis between September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, and December 31, 2004,2005, the changes in NIInet interest income reflect relatively similar results and the impact of the balance sheet composition of assets and liabilities as the profile continues to reflect asset sensitivity. As a result, the simulation scenario in a falling rate environment depicts net interest income declining and the opposite occurs in a rising environment. The asset sensitivity is reflected in on-hand liquidity in cash and cash equivalents of $95.9$106.0 million (interest-bearing balances held with other banks) and in the loan portfolio which includes adjustable or variable rates on approximately 51%50% of the portfolio at September 30, 2005. Combined with the relatively short duration of the investment portfolio this creates an asset-sensitive position favoring a rising rate environment.March 31, 2006.

PART I.
PART I.  ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive OfficerCEO along with the Company’s Chief Financial OfficerCFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective 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.
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
