NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company
as of December 31, 2008, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Note 2: Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 3: Benefit Plans
The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described fully in the Company’s December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 6: New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use
of fair value measures in financial statements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, and does not expand the use of fair value measures in financial statements, but standardizes its definition and guidance in generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement based on an exchange transaction between market participants in which an entity sells an asset or transfers a liability.
SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy from observable market data as the highest level to fair value based on an entity's own fair value assumptions as the lowest level. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 were effective as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157 was issued that delayed the application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, until January 1, 2009. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand
the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for
using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements at adoption.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 (“FSP FAS 157-4”), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 provides
additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the
valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company for the second quarter of 2009. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements at adoption.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company for the second quarter of
2009. It is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements since it is for disclosure purposes only.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary-Impairments. The objective of an other-than-temporary impairment analysis under existing GAAP is to determine
whether the holder of an investment in a debt or equity security for which changes in fair value are not regularly recognized in earnings (such as securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale) should recognize a loss in earnings when the investment is impaired. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost basis. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to
improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company for the second quarter of 2009. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on the consolidated financial statements at adoption.
Note 7: Fair Value Disclosures
SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the use of fair value inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation
or other means.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:
Available-for-sale securities: Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The
fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, benchmark yields, market spreads, live trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, among other things.
Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of
the underlying collateral.
Impaired loans: Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using third party appraisals or internally developed appraisals or discounted cash flow
analysis.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically
performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollar amounts in thousands):

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were valued using the valuation inputs shown below (dollar amounts in thousands):

Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value in the financial statements. Derivatives are used as a risk management tool to hedge the exposure to changes in interest rates or other identified market risks.
When a derivative is intended to be a qualifying hedged instrument, the Company prepares written hedge documentation that designates the derivative as 1) a hedge of fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge) or 2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction, such as, the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related
to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). The written documentation includes identification of, among other items, the risk management objective, hedging instrument, hedged item, and methodologies for assessing and measuring hedge effectiveness and ineffectiveness, along with support for management’s assertion that the hedge will be highly effective.
On November 7, 2008, the Company elected to terminate its three interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $90 million. At termination, the swaps had a market value (gain) of $1.7 million. The remaining gain of $1.3 million as of March 31, 2009 will be accreted into interest income over the remaining
fifteen month term in accordance with the stated maturity date of the original agreements. See Note 5 for the effects of the swaps on the statements of financial condition and statements of operations.
Note 9: Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants
On January 30, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program's Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement - Standard Terms with the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") pursuant to which the Company sold to the Treasury
17,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and issued a ten year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 459,459 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for $5.55 per share (the "Warrant Shares") for a total purchase price of $17.0 million (the "Transaction").
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is entitled to cumulative preferred dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years, payable quarterly, and 9% thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The failure by the
Company to pay a total of six quarterly dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the right to elect two directors to the Company's Board of Directors.
During the first three years after the Transaction, the Company may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock except in conjunction with a "qualified equity offering" meeting certain requirements. After three years, the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in whole or in part,
subject to regulatory approval.
The Warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance and expires in ten years. The Warrant has anti-dilution protections and certain other protections for the holder of the Warrant, as well as potential registration rights upon written request from the Treasury. The Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting rights with respect
to the Warrant Shares that it may acquire upon exercise of the Warrant. The number of Warrant Shares may be reduced by up to one-half if the Company completes an equity offering satisfying certain requirements by December 31, 2009. If the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemed in whole, the Company has the right to purchase any shares of the Common Stock held by the Treasury at their fair market value at that time.
The holder of the Warrant has certain registration rights to facilitate a sale of the Series A Preferred Stock upon written request to the Company. Neither the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares will be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer, except that Treasury may not transfer the Warrant
with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for more than one-half of the 459,459 Warrant Shares prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company has received aggregate gross proceeds of at least $17.0 million from one or more “Qualified Equity Offerings” and (ii) December 31, 2009. A “Qualified Equity Offering” is defined as the sale for cash by the Company of preferred stock or common stock that qualifies as Tier 1 capital.
The Company is subject to certain contractual restrictions under the CPP and the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock that could prohibit the Company from declaring or paying dividends on its common stock or the Series A Preferred Stock.
The proceeds from the CPP were allocated between the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant based on a fair value assigned using a discounted cash flow model. This resulted in an initial value of $15.6 million for the Series A Preferred Stock and $1.4 million for the Warrant. The discount of $1.4 million on the Series
A Preferred Stock is being accreted over the straight-line method (which approximates the level-yield method) over five years ending February 28, 2014.
On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”) was signed into law. The ARRA imposes certain additional executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future CPP recipients. These limits are in addition to those previously imposed by the Treasury
under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”). As a result of the Company’s participation in the CPP, the restrictions and standards established under EESA and ARRA are applicable to the Company. Neither the ARRA nor the EESA restrictions shall apply to any CPP recipient, including the Company, at such time that the federal government no longer holds any of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.
Note 10: FDIC deposit insurance assessments
On February 27, 2009, the FDIC approved to amend the plan for restoring the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC approved to increase regular premium rates for 2009, implement changes to the risk-based assessment system and impose a special assessment on insured institutions of 20 basis points.
On March 5, 2009, the FDIC stated that it intends to lower the special assessment from 20 basis points to 10 basis points, contingent upon Congress legislation yet to be enacted. The legislation relates to increasing the FDIC’s borrowing availability with the Department of the Treasury. The special assessment will
be incurred as of June 30, 2009, payable on September 30, 2009.
As a result of these changes and the special assessment, the Company projects a significant increase in its FDIC deposit insurance premium expense for 2009.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The primary function of the Company is to monitor and oversee its investment in Guaranty Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company engages in few other activities, and the Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Bank. As a result, the results of operations
of the Company are derived primarily from operations of the Bank. The Bank’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest margin, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank’s income is also affected by the level of its noninterest expenses, such as employee salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses and other expenses. The following discussion reviews the Company’s
financial condition as of March 31, 2009, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Form 10-Q, may contain forward-looking comments. Such comments are based upon the information currently available to management of the Company and management’s perception thereof as of the date of this Form 10-Q. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “believes,” “expects,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results of the Company’s operations could materially differ from those forward-looking comments. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited
to: changes in demand for banking services; changes in portfolio composition; changes in management strategy; increased competition from both bank and non-bank companies; changes in the general level of interest rates; changes in general or local economic conditions; changes in federal or state regulations and legislation governing the operations of the Company or the Bank; and other factors set forth in reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to
time, including the risk factors described under Item 1A. of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
The Company’s total assets increased $78,389,211 (12%) from $675,670,393 as of December 31, 2008, to $754,059,604 as of March 31, 2009.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $47,284,186 (313%) from $15,097,015 as of December 31, 2008, to $62,381,201 as of March 31, 2009. The increase was due to the funding provided by the Bank’s successful money market deposit campaign. See further explanation below.
Securities available-for-sale increased $48,405,159 (74%) from $65,505,339 as of December 31, 2008, to $113,910,498 as of March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily due to purchases of $54.9 million offset by sales and principal payments received of $7.4 million. The purchases were made with funding provided by the Bank’s
successful money market deposit campaign. See further explanation below.
Securities held-to-maturity decreased primarily due to principal repayments by $24,015 (4%) from $556,465 as of December 31, 2008, to $532,450 as of March 31, 2009.
Net loans receivable decreased by $21,817,712 (4%) from $556,393,243 as of December 31, 2008, to $534,575,531 as of March 31, 2009 primarily due to principal paydowns and unanticipated payoffs. Commercial real estate loans increased by $8,593,028 (4%) from $204,218,526 as of December 31, 2008, to $212,811,554 as of March 31, 2009. Commercial
loans decreased $11,815,973 (10%) from $118,468,028 as of December 31, 2008, to $106,652,055 as of March 31, 2009. Permanent multi-family loans decreased by $781,632 (3%) from $31,757,153 as of December 31, 2008, to $30,975,521 as of March 31, 2009. Construction loans decreased by $14,947,463 (18%) to $70,125,114 as of March 31, 2009 compared to $85,072,577 as of December 31, 2008. Loan growth is anticipated in future quarters and represents a major part of the Bank’s planned asset
growth.
Allowance for loan losses decreased $495,036 (3%) from $16,728,492 as of December 31, 2008 to $16,233,456 as of March 31, 2009. The allowance decreased due to net loan charge-offs of $1,475,036 exceeding the provision for loan losses of $980,000 recorded during the period. Management charged-off specific loans that had been identified
and classified as impaired at December 31, 2008. Due to the charge-offs noted and continuing concerns over the local and national economy and specific borrowers, management decided to record a provision for loan losses for the period in order to maintain the allowance at a level in accordance with management’s internal review and methodology. See discussion under “Results of Operations – Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2009
and 2008 – Provision for Loan Losses.” The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of gross loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 2.95% and 2.92%, respectively. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of nonperforming loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 71.0% and 80.8%, respectively. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level to be sufficient in providing for potential
loans losses in the Bank’s existing loan portfolio.
Deposits increased $83,456,722 (19%) from $447,079,469 as of December 31, 2008, to $530,536,191 as of March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, checking and savings accounts increased by $100.8 million and certificates of deposit decreased by $17.4 million. The increase in checking and savings was due
to the Bank’s strong emphasis on increasing money market accounts through an aggressive deposit campaign. It is management’s intent to implement additional marketing efforts to obtain additional personal and commercial checking business from these money market customers. See also the discussion under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk – Asset/Liability Management.”
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”) advances decreased by $21,000,000 from $132,436,000 as of December 31, 2008, to $111,436,000 as of March 31, 2009 due to principal repayments during the period.
Notes payable decreased $1,435,190 (100%) from $1,435,190 as of December 31, 2008, to $0 as of March 31, 2009, due to the full repayment of the existing note payable during the period.
Stockholders’ equity (including unrealized appreciation on securities available-for-sale and interest rate swaps, net of tax) increased $16,730,574 from $37,312,902 as of December 31, 2008, to $54,043,476 as of March 31, 2009. On January 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms with the
Treasury pursuant to which the Company sold to the Treasury 17,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and issued a ten year warrant to purchase 459,459 shares of the Company’s common stock. This transaction increased stockholders’ equity by $17,000,000 during the period (See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion). In addition, in conjuction with the Series A Preferred Stock issuance, the Company accrued $141,667 of dividends (5%) and
recorded $45,927 of accretion associated with the discount recognized on the preferred stock. The Company’s net loss during this period was $592,120. On a per common share basis, stockholders’ equity increased from $14.28 as of December 31, 2008 to $14.65 as of March 31, 2009.
Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields
The Company’s profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and debt and equity securities, and the cost of deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is dependent on the difference between the average balances and rates earned on
interest-earning assets and the average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income, non-interest expense, and income taxes also impact net income.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average consolidated statements of financial condition and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense annualized by the average balance
of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances were derived from average daily balances. The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Results of Operations - Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended March 31,
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $592,120 as compared to net income of $616,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which represents a decrease in earnings of $1,208,978 (196%) for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
Interest Income
Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009, decreased $907,732 (10%) as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, the average yield on interest earning assets decreased 188 basis points to 4.59%, and the average balance
of interest earning assets increased approximately $154,319,000. The Company’s decline in the average yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s significant interest rate cuts of 200 basis points since March 31, 2008. This affected the Company’s yield on loans which is tied to the prime rate. Also, the Company increased its investment securities and interest-bearing deposits during the period which, because of the low rate environment
for investment yields, decreased the average yield on investment securities and other assets by 70 and 321 basis points, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2008.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009, increased $106,925 (2%) when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 81 basis points to 3.19%, and the average balance of interest bearing liabilities
increased approximately $145,473,000 when compared to the same period in 2008. The significant increase in the average balance of transaction accounts was due to the Bank’s strong emphasis on increasing money market accounts through an aggressive deposit campaign. This initiative to improve core deposit liquidity has increased the Bank’s cost of funds in the near term and is expected to have a short term negative impact on earnings. It is management’s intent
to implement additional marketing efforts to obtain additional personal and commercial checking business from these money market customers.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009, decreased $1,014,657 (25%) when compared to the same period in 2008. The average balance of interest earning assets increased by approximately $8,846,000 more than the average balance in interest bearing liabilities increased when comparing the three month period ended March 31,
2009 to the same period in 2008. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the earning yield minus the costing rate spread decreased 106 basis points to 1.40% when compared to the same period in 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses
Based on its internal analysis and methodology, management recorded a provision for loan losses of $980,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $820,000 for the same period in 2008. This increase is due to the Bank’s increased charge-offs for the period and continuing concerns over the local and national
economy and certain specific borrowers. The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make future additions based on economic and regulatory conditions. Management of the Company anticipates the need to continue increasing the allowance for loan losses through charges to the provision for loan losses as anticipated growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio increases or other circumstances warrant. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses
at a level which it considers to be sufficient to provide for potential loan losses in its existing loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies which can order the establishment of additional loan loss provisions.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income decreased $72,879 (8%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Gain on sale of loans increased $124,333 (54%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 due to increased volume associated with the Bank’s selling fixed rate mortgage loans. Loss on foreclosed assets increased $137,510 (1,042%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared
to the same period in 2008 primarily due to the difficult market conditions causing sharp declines in real estate values on foreclosed properties held or sold by the Company.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $643,157 (21%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $140,998 (7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to additions in several staff positions in the areas of commercial lending, finance and risk management in the latter half of fiscal year 2008. FDIC
deposit insurance premiums increased $212,031 (339%) due to the increase in premium assessments beginning in the first quarter of 2009.
Credit for Income Taxes
The credit for income taxes is a direct result of the decrease in the Company’s taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the Bank’s existing loan portfolio. When making such evaluation, management considers such factors as the repayment status of its loans, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying
collateral, borrowers’ intent (to the extent known by the Bank) and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions and the Bank’s historical loss ratios. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of nonperforming loans outstanding, as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 71.0% and 80.8%, respectively. Total loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss as of March 31, 2009, were $50.7 million or 6.72% of total assets as compared to $47.7 million, or 7.06%
of total assets at December 31, 2008. Management considered nonperforming and total classified loans in evaluating the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets is another useful tool in evaluating exposure to credit risk. Nonperforming assets of the Bank include nonperforming loans and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to the ability to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available for customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. The
Company’s primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits and FHLB borrowings. The Company also has established borrowing lines available from the Federal Reserve Bank which is considered a secondary source of funds.
The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, and certificates of deposit with other financial institutions that have an original maturity of three months or less. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing,
and investment activities at any given time. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $62,381,201 as of March 31, 2009 and $15,097,015 as of December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $47,284,186. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows, which are subject to, and influenced by, many factors.
The Bank’s capital ratios are above the levels required to be considered a well-capitalized financial institution. As of March 31, 2009, The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.41%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.92% and the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.19% - all exceeding the minimums
of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively.
With regards to the securities sold to the Treasury under CPP, if the Company is unable to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock within five years of its issuance, the cost of capital to the Company will increase significantly from 5% per annum ($850,000 annually) to 9% per annum ($1,530,000 annually). Depending on the Company’s
financial condition at the time, the increase in the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock could have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity and net income available to common stockholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Asset/Liability Management
The goal of the Bank’s asset/liability policy is to manage interest rate risk so as to maximize net interest income over time in changing interest rate environments. Management monitors the Bank’s net interest spreads (the difference between yields received on assets and paid on liabilities) and, although constrained
by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent underwriting standards, the Bank offers deposit rates and loan rates designed to maximize net interest income. Management also attempts to fund the Bank’s assets with liabilities of a comparable duration to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income. Since the relative spread between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing, the Bank’s current net interest income
may not be an indication of future net interest income.
As a part of its asset and liability management strategy and throughout the past several years, the Bank has continued to emphasize the origination of adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential loans and adjustable-rate or relatively short-term commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, while originating fixed-rate,
one- to four-family residential loans primarily for immediate resale in the secondary market on either a service-retained basis or service-released basis. This allows the Bank to serve the customer’s needs and retain a banking relationship with respect to such fixed-rate residential loans, while limiting its exposure to the risk associated with carrying a long-term fixed-rate loan in its loan portfolio.
The Bank constantly monitors its deposits in an effort to decrease their interest rate sensitivity. Rates of interest paid on deposits at the Bank are priced competitively in order to meet the Bank’s asset/liability management objectives and spread requirements. The Bank believes, based on historical experience,
that a substantial portion of such accounts represents non-interest rate sensitive core deposits.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
The following table sets forth as of March 31, 2009 management’s estimates of the projected changes in net portfolio value (“NPV”) in the event of 100 and 200 basis point (“bp”) instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on an internally generated model using actual maturity and repricing schedules for the Bank’s loans and deposits, and are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan repayments and deposit run-offs, and should
not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. For further discussion of the Company’s market risk, see the Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results or Operations included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management cannot predict future interest rates or their effect on the Bank’s NPV in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react
in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have an initial fixed rate period typically from one to five years, and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Bank’s portfolio could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future. Further, in
the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
The Bank’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for reviewing the Bank’s asset and liability policies. The Board meets quarterly to review interest rate risk and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank’s management is responsible for administering
the policies and determinations of the Board with respect to the Bank’s asset and liability goals and strategies.
(a) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2009.
(b) There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
