PART I

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Surrey Bancorp has amended its Annual Report on Form 10-K. This annual report is for the year ended December 31, 2007, and was originally filed with the Commission on March 27, 2008. The purpose of this amendment is to correct the inadvertent omission of managements’ report on internal control over financial reporting, as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 and our assessment and conclusion as to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as required by Item 308T(a) of Regulation S-K; and to revise the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer certifications to include corrected introductory language of paragraph 4(b) under Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K. The amended certifications do not include item (3), which refers to financial information not included in this amendment. We have not undertaken to update all the information in this Annual Report, but instead have only updated those areas related to the amendments. Please read all of our filings with the Commission in conjunction with this Form 10K/A.

FORM 10-K, ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. We continue to evaluate our internal controls each year.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under every potential condition, regardless of how remote. In addition, the operation of any system of controls and procedures is dependent upon the employees responsible for executing it. While we have evaluated the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and found them effective, there can be no assurance that they will succeed in every instance to achieve their objective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well designed, misstatements may occur and not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may decline.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the framework set forth in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, Surrey Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
