UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The financial statements and accompanying notes are presented on a consolidated basis including Uwharrie Capital Corp (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, Bank of Stanly (“Stanly”), Anson Bank & Trust Co. (“Anson”), Cabarrus Bank & Trust Company (“Cabarrus”), Strategic Investment Advisors, Inc., (“SIA”), and Uwharrie Mortgage Inc. Stanly consolidates its subsidiaries, the Strategic Alliance Corporation, BOS Agency, Inc. and Gateway Mortgage, Inc., each of which is wholly-owned by Stanly.

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of interim periods, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire year. Management is not aware of economic events, outside influences or changes in concentrations of business that would require additional clarification or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.

Note 2 – Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Note 3 – Per Share Data

On October 30, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 3% stock dividend payable on December 7, 2007 to shareholders of record on November 13, 2007. All information presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements regarding earnings per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding has been computed giving effect to this stock dividend.

Basic and diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for stock dividends. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company.

Basic and diluted net income per common share have been computed based upon net income as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding. The computation of basic and dilutive earnings per share is summarized below:

	Three Months Ended

	2008		2007

Adjusted weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic net income per common share	7,272,006		7,469,051
Effect of dilutive stock options	56,519		92,447
Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing diluted net income per common share	7,328,525		7,561,498

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

The subsidiary banks are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

The banks’ risk of loss with the unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The banks use the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured. At March 31, 2008, outstanding financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk were approximately:

(in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit	$	91,443
Credit card commitments		9,469
Standby letters of credit		877
Total commitments	$	101,789

Note 6 – Fair Value Disclosures

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Statements (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities (SFAS 159) on January 1, 2008.

SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but clarifies and standardizes some divergent practices that have emerged since prior guidance was issued. SFAS 157 creates a three-level hierarchy under which individual fair value estimates are to be ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which those assets or liabilities are sold and

-9-

considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities. Fair values determined using level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities for which identical or similar assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets are based on level 3 inputs, which are considered to be unobservable.

Among the Company’s assets and liabilities, investment securities available for sale are reported at their fair values on a recurring basis. Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market, loan servicing rights, where fair value is determined using similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions, foreclosed real estate, which is carried at lower of cost or fair market value and goodwill, which is periodically tested for impairment. Deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value.

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

For assets and liabilities carried at fair value, the following table provides fair value information as of March 31, 2008:

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(dollars in thousands)
Investment securities available for sale	$	49,552	$	9,666	$	39,886	$	—
Total assets at fair value	$	49,552	$	9,666	$	39,886	$	—
Total liabilities at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

Prices for US Treasury and government agency securities are readily available in the active markets in which those securities are traded, and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 1 input’ column. Prices for mortgage-backed securities and for state, county and municipal securities are obtained for similar securities, and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 2 input’ column. Prices for all other non-marketable investments are determined based on various assumptions that are not observable. The fair values for these investment

-10-

securities are shown in the ‘Level 3 input’ column. Non-marketable investment securities, which are carried at their purchase price, include those that may only be redeemed by the issuer.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below as of March 31, 2008:

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(dollars in thousands)
Loans	$	8,591	$	—	$	8,591	$	—
Total assets at fair value	$	8,591	$	—	$	8,591	$	—
Total liabilities at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

SFAS 159 allows an entity to elect to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement each period. The statement also requires additional disclosures to identify the effects of an entity’s fair value election on its earnings. Upon the adoption of SFAS 159, the Company did not elect to report any assets and liabilities at fair value.

Note 7 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SAB 109

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (“SAB 109”), “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings,” supersedes Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 by requiring the expected net future cash flows related to servicing a loan to be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The adoption of SAB 109 on January 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 157

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 as discussed in Note 6 above.

SFAS 159

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted under certain circumstances. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 above.

EITF 06-4

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus at its September 2006 meeting regarding EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The scope of EITF 06-4 is

-11-

limited to the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. Therefore, this EITF would not apply to a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that provides a specified benefit to an employee that is limited to the employee’s active service period with an employer. This EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 on January 1, 2008 and it had the effect of reducing beginning consolidated undivided profits by approximately $273,000.

From time to time, the FASB issues exposure drafts of proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2007 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s total assets decreased $507 thousand, from $411.9 million to $411.4 million. During the three months, loans held for investment increased $3.4 million or 1.1%, from $322.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $325.4 million at March 31, 2008. This increase, however, was offset by a decline in investment securities of $1.5 million and a decrease in loans held for sale of $2.1 million during the period.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $719 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2008. Cash and due from banks declined $1.5 million, while interest-earning deposits with banks decreased $671 thousand. These decreases were offset by an increase in federal funds sold of $1.4 million. The Company made the decision to continue to keep a portion of their investments in short-term federal funds during the first quarter of 2008.

Investment securities decreased $1.5 million or 2.9% for the three months. The decrease resulted primarily from normal mortgage backed securities pay down activity during the period.

As previously stated, loans held for investment increased $3.4 million to $325.4 million during the period ended March 31, 2008. The Company has experienced positive growth trends in its residential construction, commercial and consumer areas of the loan portfolio. These positive trends were impacted by a decrease in our one to four family residential real estate loan

-12-

portfolio. Loans held for sale decreased 71.9% or $2.1 million during the period. The allowance for loan losses was $3.6 million at March 31, 2008 which represents 1.10% of the loan portfolio.

Other changes in our consolidated assets related to premises and equipment, interest receivable, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, bank owned life insurance and other assets. Fixed assets increased $148 thousand, interest receivable grew $33 thousand, bank owned life insurance increased $46 thousand and other assets increased $80 thousand. Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $119 thousand. Federal Home Loan Bank stock ownership is a requirement for member banks that utilize Federal Home Loan Bank for borrowing funds. The amount of stock owned by each member bank is based primarily on the amount of borrowings outstanding.

Customer deposits, our primary funding source, experienced a $2.1 million increase during the three months ended March 31, 2008, increasing from $324.7 million to $326.8 million. Time deposits $100,000 and over grew by $1.6 million and other time deposits increased $2.4 million during the period. These increases were offset by declines in interest checking and money market accounts of $970 thousand and demand deposits of $924 thousand.

The growth in deposits allowed the Company to reduce net borrowings by $3.5 million during the first quarter of 2008. Borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowed funds. The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At March 31, 2008, $32.0 million of the total borrowings of $50.1 million were comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Other liabilities increased from $ 1.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $2.2 million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $687 thousand. The Company has a supplemental retirement plan in place for four executive officers. The Company has purchased life insurance policies in order to provide future funding of benefit payments. As discussed in Note 7, with the adoption of EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, the Company recorded a $273 thousand liability. This adjustment coupled with an increase in the reserve for income taxes were the primary factors associated with the increase in other liabilities.

At March 31, 2008, total shareholders’ equity was $31.9 million, an increase of $357 thousand from December 31, 2007. Net income for the period was $775 thousand and the Company received $56 thousand from the exercise of stock options. These increases were offset by the repurchase of 22,306 shares of the Company’s common stock at a cost of $121 thousand and unrealized losses on investment securities, net of tax, of $115 thousand. The Company also recorded a $273 thousand one-time cumulative adjustment to undivided profits for the adoption of EITF 06-4. At March 31, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary banks exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements.

Comparison of Results of Operations For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Net Income

Uwharrie Capital Corp reported net income of $775 thousand, or $0.11 per basic share, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $658 thousand, or $0.09 per basic share, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $117 thousand, or $0.02 per share.

Net Interest Income

As with most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for our banks, is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from

-13-

loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of noninterest-bearing liabilities and capital.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3.9 million as compared with $3.5 million during the quarter ending March 31, 2007, resulting in an increase of $409 thousand, or 11.7%. During the quarter ending March 31, 2008 our growth in the volume of interest-earning assets outpaced the growth in interest-bearing liabilities by $296 thousand. The average yield on our interest–earning assets decreased 22 basis points to 7.20%, while the average rate we paid for our interest-bearing liabilities decreased 51 basis points. The Company’s assets that are interest rate sensitive adjust at the time the Federal Reserve adjusts interest rates, while, interest-bearing time deposits adjust at the time of maturity. The fore mentioned decreases resulted in an increase of 29 basis points in our interest rate spread, from 3.52% in 2007 to 3.81% in 2008. Our net interest margin was 4.22% and 4.00% for the comparable periods in 2008 and 2007.

The following table presents average balance sheets and a net interest income analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $86 thousand for the three months ending March 31, 2008. There was no provision required for the same period in 2007. There were net loan charge-offs of $13 thousand for the three months ended March 2008 as compared with net loan charge-offs of $137 thousand during the same period of 2007. Refer to the Asset Quality discussion on page 16 for further information.

Noninterest Income

The Company generates most of its revenue from net interest income; however, like all financial institutions, diversification of our earnings base is of major importance in our long term success. Total noninterest income increased $323 thousand, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $1.9 million for the same period in 2008. Service charges on deposit accounts produced earnings of $530 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $27 thousand, or 5.4%. Other service fees and commissions experienced a 7.2% increase for the comparable three month period. Growth in ATM fees of $35 thousand and investment fees on managed accounts of $58 thousand enhanced this increase. Income from mortgage loan sales increased $186 thousand from $255 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $441 thousand for the same period in 2008. The interest rate reductions during the first quarter attributed to the increase in mortgage loan sales. The Company also owns shares of VISA stock. VISA redeemed a portion of this stock during the first quarter of 2008 resulting in other income of $59 thousand. This income was the primary reason for the increase in other income for the comparable periods.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $4.5 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period of 2007, an increase of $440 thousand. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $192 thousand, from $2.4 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 to $2.6 million for the same period in 2008. The Company has a non-qualifying deferred compensation plan for certain executive officers. The costs associated with this plan increased $82 thousand for the comparable periods. This increase coupled with normal salary increases contributed to the overall increase in noninterest expense. Other noninterest expense increased $251 thousand for the comparable three month periods. The table below reflects the composition of other noninterest expense.

Income Tax Expense

The Company had income tax expense of $374 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.6% compared to income tax expense of $285 thousand and an effective rate of 30.2% in the 2007 period. Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities, tax free municipal loans and income earned on bank owned life insurance. The increase in the effective tax rate resulted primarily from the decrease in the level of such

-15-

tax free income as a percentage income before income taxes in the current year quarter compared to the 2007 quarter.

Asset Quality

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operations and by recoveries of amounts previously charged off, and reduced by loans charged off. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, management considers the growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio; historical loan loss experience; current delinquency levels; adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay; estimated value of any underlying collateral; prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. The Company’s credit administration function, through a review process, validates the accuracy of the initial risk grade assessment. In addition, as a given loan’s credit quality improves or deteriorates, the credit administration department has the responsibility to change the borrower’s risk grade accordingly. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based either on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additions for estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Management uses the risk-grading program to facilitate the evaluation of probable inherent loan losses and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In this program, risk grades are initially assigned by loan officers and reviewed and monitored by credit administration. The Company strives to maintain its loan portfolio in accordance with conservative loan underwriting policies that result in loans specifically tailored to the needs of its market area. Every effort is made to identify and minimize the credit risks associated with such lending strategies. The Company has no foreign loans and does not engage in significant lease financing or highly leveraged transactions. The Company follows a loan review program designed to evaluate the credit risk in the loan portfolio. This process includes the maintenance of an internally classified watch list that helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In establishing the appropriate classification for specific assets, management considers, among other factors, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s ability to repay, the borrower’s payment history and the current delinquent status. As a result of this process, certain loans are categorized as substandard, doubtful or loss and reserves are allocated based on management’s judgment and historical experience.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an appropriate amount to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while management believes it has established the allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Company’s portfolio, will not require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary, should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed herein. Any

-16-

material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The provision for loan losses was $86 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2007 when no provisions were required. Additionally, the allowance expressed as a percentage of loans held for investment was 1.10% at March 31, 2008, an increase from 1.09% at December 31, 2007. During the first three months of 2008 the levels of our impaired loans, which includes all loans in nonaccrual status and other loans deemed by management to be impaired, were $10.4 million compared to $7.5 million at December 31, 2007 an increase of $2.9 million. Of the $10.4 million in impaired loans at March 31, 2008, $8.6 million carried an allowance of $1.4 million while $1.8 million were evaluated and required no specific allowance. The level of specific reserves identified for impaired loans increased by $111 thousand for the same period. These increases were due primarily to the impairment of a loan relationship with one customer of $2.6 million, for which a $50 thousand specific reserve has been provided. Net loan charge-offs for the three months ending March 31, 2007 were $137 thousand, while the same period in 2008 experienced net loan charge-offs of $13 thousand.

The allowance as a percentage of total impaired loans has increased from 35.7% at December 31, 2007 to 38.0% at March 31, 2008. The portion of the allowance specifically allocable to impaired loans decreased from 16.8% at December 31, 2007 to 13.2% at March 31, 2008. Management believes the current level of allowance for loan losses to be adequate at this time.

The following nonperforming loan table shows the comparison for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2007:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The objective of the Company’s liquidity management policy is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on any opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses the ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand

-17-

or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The Company’s primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest payments on loans, cash flows generated from operations and cash flow generated by investments. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of funds for loan growth. The Company and its subsidiary banks have multiple funding sources in addition to deposits that can be used to increase liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility. These sources are the subsidiary banks’ established federal funds lines with correspondent banks aggregating $20.1 million at March 31, 2008, with available credit of $19.6 million, established borrowing relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank, with available credit of $38.3 million, access to borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, and the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase. In addition, the Company issues commercial paper and has secured long-term debt from other sources. Total debt from these sources aggregated $50.1 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $53.6 million at December 31, 2007.

Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The FDIC and the Federal Reserve, the primary federal regulators of the Company and its subsidiary banks, have adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets.

Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 8 percent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 4 percent. Banks, which meet or exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 percent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered “well capitalized” by regulatory standards. Financial institutions are expected to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with those guidelines.

Both the Company and its subsidiary banks have maintained capital levels exceeding minimum levels for “well capitalized” banks and bank holding companies. The Company expects to continue to exceed these minimums without altering current operations or strategy. The Company does however plan to effect a private placement of subordinated debt during the second quarter of 2008 that will qualify as regulatory capital.

Accounting and Regulatory Matters

Management is not aware of any known trends, events, uncertainties or current recommendations by regulatory authorities that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, or other operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the result of differing maturities or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the fact that rates on these financial instruments do not change uniformly. These conditions may impact the earnings generated by the Company’s interest earning assets or the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, thus directly impacting the Company’s overall earnings. The Company’s management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk. One way this is accomplished is through the development of and adherence to the Company’s asset/liability policy. This policy sets forth management’s strategy for matching the risk characteristics of the Company’s interest-earning assets and liabilities so as to mitigate the effect of changes in the rate environment. The Company’s market risk profile has not changed significantly since December 31, 2007.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.

Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective (1) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a -15(f) and 15d – 15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2008. In connection with such evaluation, the Company has determined that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal control over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.
