Results for year ended and quarter ended December 31, 2009 were significantly impacted by the Company's recognition of non-cash other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") charges of $1.1 million pre-tax ($673,000 after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2009 on the remaining balance of its investment in pooled trust preferred securities.

Bradley, III, Chief Executive Officer. "However, there is no doubt that 2010 was another difficult year for the economy and our management team remains concerned about the effects of the extended economic weakness. Management continues to aggressively work through asset problems that have developed during this challenging economic period and we believe our actions will produce positive results," said Bradley.
