NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegheny Bancshares Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements conform to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2010, and the results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2010. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K included with the annual report to stockholders of Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Income Tax guidance was amended in April 2010 to reflect an SEC Staff Announcement after the President signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on March 30, 2010, which amended the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed on March 23, 2010. According to the announcement, although the bills were signed on separate dates, regulatory bodies would not object if the two Acts were considered together for accounting purposes. This view is based on the SEC staff’s understanding that the two Acts together represent the current health care reforms as passed by Congress and signed by the President. The amendment had no impact on the financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent events — In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financials were issued.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consideration is given to current market conditions, historical trends in the individual securities, as well as trends in the overall market. Declines determined to be other than temporary are charged to operations and are shown on the income statement. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges on investment securities during the first six months of 2009 or 2010, however there were charges on restricted equity securities in 2009, see footnote number 3.
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investment securities with unrealized losses that are deemed to be temporarily impaired (in thousands), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous, unrealized loss position at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment securities were caused by various reasons, but the Company feels that no material impairment of value is due to deteriorating financial condition of the issuers. The S&P credit ratings of these three issues are still AA or better and the contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company has the ability and believes it is more likely than not that it will hold those investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company considers these 3 investments to be temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2009 there were 4 investments considered to be temporarily impaired.

NOTE 3 RESTRICTED EQUITY SECURITIES:
Restricted equity securities are considered restricted due to lack of marketability. It consists of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Investment in the FHLB stock is determined by the level of the Bank’s participation with FHLB various products and is collateral against outstanding borrowings from that institution. The FHLB stock is carried at cost. Management evaluates these restricted securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more often when conditions warrant by considering current market conditions, historical trends in the individual securities, as well as trends in the overall market. Declines determined to be other than temporary are charged to operations and are shown on the income statement. In view of the May 1, 2009 closure of an institution in which the Company held stock by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) non-cash charge against earnings. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in this stock as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $603,515. The OTTI charge as of March 31, 2009 was $603,515, eliminating our carrying value of this stock. No other than temporary impairment charge was recognized in the same period in 2010.

NOTE 6 LONG TERM DEBT:
The Company has borrowed money from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB). The interest rates on all of the notes payable as of June 30, 2010 were fixed at the time of the advance and fixed rates range from 4.22% to 5.57%. The FHLB notes are secured by FHLB Stock, as well as investment securities and mortgage loans. The weighted average interest rate is 5.01% at June 30, 2010.
NOTE 7 BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE:
The Company, in an effort to attract and retain employees, offers a variety of benefits to full time employees. The costs of these benefits continue to grow faster than inflation. In order to offset some of these costs and to offer other benefits the Company has invested in a Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contract. Earnings on these contracts are tax exempt, and are very attractive in comparison with other long-term investments.
NOTE 8 FAIR VALUE:
FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, provides a definition of fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands related financial disclosures. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements and was initially effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. This statement establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the use of fair value inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels.
Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 — Valuation is based upon significant inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
At June 30, 2010 the Company had no liabilities subject to fair value. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.
Investment securities available for sale: Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models. Level 1 securities include those traded by dealers or brokers in an active market such as U.S. Treasury securities, and securities issued by government sponsored entities that are traded by dealers, and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include other equities that do not have an active market.
Loans: 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 loss 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. If a loan is considered impaired an allowance for loan loss is established in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10, by utilizing market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). The fair value of the Company’s impaired loans was determined by the measurement of the fair value of the underlying collateral. Typically the collateral value is determined by applying a discount to an appraisal that was performed at or about the date of the loan. Due to the age of appraisals and the changing market conditions of real estate the Company considers its impaired loans to be level 3 assets and are measured on a nonrecurring basis.
Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated holding costs and cost to sell. We believe that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820-10. Due to age of some appraisals and changing real estate market conditions, the Company considers its OREO to be level 3 assets.

With the purchase of the two branch offices in April 2009, there was a significant amount of goodwill recorded, and no impairments reported. The goodwill recognized on the purchase of the two branch offices totaled $1,086,732.

NOTE 10 BENEFIT PLANS:
Executive Performance Driven Plan: On June 4th, 2008, the Company, approved the Pendleton Community Bank, Inc. Executive Performance Driven Plan. The Performance Plan provides for bonus compensation based on achievement of certain performance goals. The CEO is eligible to receive a bonus based on achievement of the performance criteria.
For the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, performance compensation will be based on the following individual categories (as reflected in the performance of Allegheny Bancshares, Inc.): Return on Average Equity, Increase in Earnings per Share, Return on Assets, Asset Growth Rate.
The total performance compensation which may be earned by the CEO is between 0% and 11.50% of his base salary. The Company has accrued a liability and incurred a benefit expense of $5,108 for the first six months of 2010 and $5,107 for the same period in 2009.
Supplemental Retirement Agreement: On June 4th, 2008 the Bank entered into a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Agreement (“SERP”) with the CEO. The SERP provides for the payment of a monthly supplemental executive retirement benefit equal to annual payments of $54,663 for a 15 year period. Such benefit shall be payable for a period of fifteen years, or under certain circumstances, prior to age 65. For each full calendar year the CEO completes with the Bank without separation of service, the CEO shall be credited with 8.33% of this benefit, toward 100% after 12 years. The Company has accrued a liability and incurred a benefit expense of $14,561 for the first six months of 2010 for this plan, and $12,944 for the same period in 2009.
NOTE 11 CAPITAL:
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk based capital, Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets. The Company’s total risk based, Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets and Tier 1 to average assets were 16.65%, 15.40% and 10.94% at June 30, 2010 compared to 16.31%, 15.26% and 10.68% at December 31, 2009, respectively. At June 30, 2010 the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is considered to be “well capitalized” under regulatory standards.
NOTE 12 DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and short-term deposits: For those short-term instruments, which includes interest bearing deposits and fed funds sold the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment securities: For description of fair value measurement see note 8.
Restricted investments: The carrying value of restricted investments is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Loans: The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current offering rates for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. For description of fair value measurement for impaired loans see note 8.
Bank owned life insurance: The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet approximates the fair value as it represents the cash surrender value of the life insurance contracts.
Deposits: For demand, interest checking, regular savings, money market and any other account payable on demand with no penalty the fair value is the carrying value. The fair value of certificates of deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings and interest payable or receivable: Due to the short-term nature of these accounts the carrying value is estimated to be the same as the carrying value.
Long-term debt: The fair value of long term debt is estimated using the rates currently offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank for indebtedness with similar maturities.
Off-balance sheet items: Letters of credit, lines of credit, and loan commitments are deemed to be at face value, and did not have a material value as of June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Allegheny Bancshares, Inc. (Company) is a single bank holding company organized under the laws of West Virginia. The Company provides financial services through its wholly owned subsidiary Pendleton Community Bank (Bank).
The Bank is a full service commercial bank offering financial services through five financial centers located in the West Virginia towns of Franklin, Moorefield, Marlinton and Petersburg, and a financial center near Harrisonburg, Virginia. Currently its primary trade areas are these towns and the West Virginia counties of Pendleton, Hardy, Pocahontas, Grant and in Rockingham County, Virginia.
The following discussion and analysis is provided to address information about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations that may not otherwise be apparent from reading the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion contains statements that refer to future expectations, contain projections of the results of operations or of financial condition or state other information that is “forward-looking.” “Forward-looking” statements are easily identified by the use of words such as “could,” “could anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” and similar words that refer to the future outlook. There is always a degree of uncertainty associated with “forward-looking” statements. The Company’s management believes that the expectations reflected in such statements are based upon reasonable assumptions and on the facts and circumstances existing at the time of these disclosures. Actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated.
Many factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some factors, which could negatively affect the results, include:
    General economic conditions, either nationally or within the Company’s markets, could be less favorable than expected;
    Changes in market interest rates could affect interest margins and profitability;
    Competitive pressures could be greater than anticipated; and
    Legal or accounting changes could affect the Company’s results.
Critical Accounting Policy
The financial condition and results of operations as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are dependent on the accounting policies. The policies selected and applied involve judgments, estimates, and may change from period to period based upon economic conditions. In addition, changes in generally accepted accounting principles could impact the calculations of these estimates, and even though this would not affect the true values, it could affect the timing of recognizing income or expense.
The allowance for loans loss is, in management’s opinion, the most important and critical policy that affects the financial condition and results of operations. This critical policy involves the most difficult and complex judgments about the unknown losses that currently exist in the Company’s largest asset, its loan portfolio.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Provision for Loan Losses
The ALL is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans, industry historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Management’s valuation of the ALL is based upon two principals of accounting: 1) FASB ASC 450-20 Accounting for Contingencies and 2) FASB ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The Company utilizes both of these accounting standards by first identifying problem loans above a certain threshold and estimating losses based on the underlying collateral values, and second taking the remainder of the loan portfolio and separating the portfolio into pools of loans based on grade of loans as determined by the Company’s internal grading system. We apply loss percentages based upon our historical loss rates, and make adjustments based on economic conditions. The determination of the ALL is subjective and actual losses may be more or less than the amount of the allowance. However management believes that the allowance is a fair estimate of losses that exist in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

Goodwill and Intangibles
ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” prescribes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. Provisions within this statement discontinue any amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, and require at least annual impairment review or more often if certain impairment conditions exist. With the purchase of the two branch offices in April 2009, there was a significant amount of goodwill recorded, and no impairments reported. The goodwill recognized on the purchase of the two branch offices totaled $1,086,732.
Results of Operations Overview
Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $569,000 or $0.66 per share, this compares with net income of $547,000 or $0.63 per share earned in the second quarter of 2009. This $22,000 increase in income over the same period in 2009 represents a 4% increase in income. Net income was $1,073,000 for the first six months of 2010, as compared to $505,000 for the same period in 2009. This is an increase of $568,000 compared to the same period a year ago. This represents a $1.24 net income per share as compared to $.58 for the same period a year ago. Included in the first six month’s results for 2009 was an other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) non-cash impairment charge of $604 thousand pre-tax, equivalent to $559 thousand after tax or $0.64 per share. The impairment charge relates to certain restricted equity securities which the Company owned for which on May 1, 2009 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency closed the company and took control of its assets. This OTTI charge represents the complete write off of the carrying value of the equity security. Exclusive of the OTTI charge, net income would have been $1,064,000 in 2009, as compared to $1,073,000 in 2010. Net interest income had a strong increase from 2009 to 2010, but was partially offset by increases in provision for loan loss and an increase in non interest expenses. Consolidated annualized returns on average equity and average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were 7.68% and 0.88%, respectively, compared with returns of 3.71% and 0.47% for the same period in 2009.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s taxable equivalent net interest income increased by 14.26% for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. This increase resulted primarily due to the increase in average balances but the percentage yield of tax equivalent interest margin also increased. See the net interest margin analysis in Table I. Average balance of interest bearing liabilities grew by 13.73% while average balance of total earning assets grew by 12.25%. The Company’s tax equivalent yield on earnings assets for first six months of 2010 was 4.31% compared to 4.22% for same period in 2009 as the cost of funds decreased by 57 basis points while the yield on earning assets decreased 38 basis points.
As shown in the interest sensitivity analysis in Table II, the Company is in a liability sensitive position for the next 12 month time frame, meaning our liabilities mature and reprice faster than our assets in a stable rate environment within the next 12 months. Table II shows contractual maturities of assets and liabilities. Actual results can and do differ due to loans being paid off prior to maturity or paid faster than contract terms, investment securities being called prior to final maturity, and many deposit accounts typically are more stable and while they can be withdrawn immediately history shows they tend to be a stable source of funding.
Table I shows the average balances for interest bearing assets and liabilities, the rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $666,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. As discussed in the “Results of Operations Overview” above, this loss in 2009 was caused by the other-than-temporary-impairment charge on a restricted equity investment of the Company. Other than the effect of this impairment charge, noninterest income has increased by $62,000 from first half of 2009 to first half of 2010. This increase is due primarily to a $71,000 increase in overdraft protection fees and a $47,000 increase in ATM fee income. Noninterest income was boosted in 2009 by a $64,000 gain on sale of securities. In the first half of 2010 no gains or losses were recognized.

Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expense increased $175,000 or 5.49% for the first six months of 2010, as compared to same period in 2009. The main reasons for this increase include $186,000 increase in salaries and benefits, $15,000 increase in occupancy expenses, $48,000 increase in equipment expenses, and a $25,000 increase in FDIC insurance assessment. Salaries and benefits increased by 12.21% due to merit increases, and an increase in the number of employees. With the purchase of the two additional branch offices in April of 2009 and other staff increases, our number of full time equivalent (FTE) employees has increased by over 14 to a total of 80. For the first six months of 2010 our number of full time equivalent employee average increased by 10% over the same period in 2009.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense is 26.96% of pretax income for the first six months of 2010 compared to 41.35% for the same period in 2009. The tax expense for first half of 2009 is higher percentage due to the majority of the OTTI charge not being tax deductible. The loss on the OTTI charge for income tax purposes is considered a capital loss and only deductible to the extent that the Company has capital gains. Currently the Company does not have the expectation that it could realistically generate enough capital gains to fully offset the capital losses that have arisen from the OTTI charges on the restricted stock. To that extent, it must consider excess losses as non tax deductible and not derive any tax benefit from the excess capital losses over realistically expected capital gains. At this point it appears that $484,000 of the OTTI charge will not be tax deductible.
Loans and Provision for Loan Loss
Total loans were $190,749,000 at June 30, 2010, compared to $184,655,000 at December 31, 2009, representing a $6.1 million increase. A schedule of loans by type is shown in Note 4 to the financial statements. Approximately 87% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate at June 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses was $644,000 for the first 6 months of 2010 compared to $167,000 for the same period in 2009. Loan loss provision was increased due to a deteriorating economic outlook and increase in delinquencies during the second half of 2009 and continuing into 2010. The Company has a couple of commercial borrowers in particular, that have deteriorating operational projections. These borrowers loans are generally collateralized by real estate. The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) was $2,204,000 (1.16% of loans) at June 30, 2010 compared with $1,790,000 (.97% of loans) at December 31, 2009. The percentage increase in ALL was caused by the increase in the provision for loan losses. The Company continues to monitor the loan portfolio for signs of weakness or developing credit problems. Loan loss provision for each period is determined after evaluating the loan portfolio and determining the level of reserves necessary to absorb current charge-offs and maintain the reserve at adequate levels. See Note 5 for more detail.
The Company monitors the portfolio particularly closely in this current economic environment. Real estate sales are currently slow in the Company’s market area, but this area has not seen the same increase in foreclosures or extent of dropping collateral values as has been the case for many areas. Most of the Company’s market area is fairly rural and the majority of employment in these areas is not in economically sensitive industries. The Company is not immune to the current economic downturn and it has exposure to the slowing economic situation particularly as it relates to the timber industry and the housing industry as the Company has made real estate development loans to a limited extent within our markets. The Company’s loans that are past due as a percentage of total loans and loans designated as nonperforming have been higher in 2009 and 2010 than previous years. With the slow real estate market and deteriorating economic environment, the Company does realize there is an increase in credit risk in its loan portfolio and has made adjustments to the calculation of the allowance for loan loss, which has caused increases to the amount of the provision for loan losses.
Loan Portfolio Risk Factors
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans over 90 days past due and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans in which interest accruals have been discontinued. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual status when management has information that indicates that principal or interest may not be collectible. Restructured loans are loans for which a borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or original repayment terms because of financial difficulties.

The following table summarizes the Company’s nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands of dollars):

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans
    2.36 %     2.99 %
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans
    48.86 %     32.39 %
The primary reason for the increase in nonaccrual loans is due to one large commercial borrower whose loan was over 90 days delinquent as of December 31st, 2009, has now been classified as non-accrual due to deteriorating financial condition.
Deposits
The Company’s primary funding source is deposits from individuals, businesses and government entities located within its trade area. The Company’s deposits increased $2,588,000 or 1.24% during the first six months of 2010. A schedule of deposits by type is shown in the balance sheets. Loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 2010 is at 90.22% which is higher than the 88.42% at December 31, 2009. Deposit growth in 2009 far exceeded loan growth, and this liquidity has given the Company the chance to be less aggressive on deposit pricing. This over time should help increase the net interest margin. Much of the deposit growth during 2009 was felt to be as a result of “flight to quality” as customers sought safe investments due to turmoil in the equity markets. As a result the Company realizes these deposits may decrease as customers seek higher yields as the financial turmoil passes. Time deposits of $100,000 or more were 21.83% and 20.42% of total deposits at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Borrowings
The Company borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to provide liquidity and to reduce interest rate risk. As competition for deposits have increased during periods of loan growth, FHLB borrowings have been utilized to help fund the loan growth. These borrowings have a fixed rate of interest and are amortized over a period of 2 to 20 years. Interest rates on these obligations range from 4.22% to 5.57%. There has been no borrowing from FHLB during 2009 or 2010 due to the Bank’s strong deposit growth and slower loan growth.
Capital
The Company continues to maintain a strong capital position to support future growth. Capital as a percentage of total assets was 11.67% at June 30, 2010 and was 11.37% at December 31, 2009, and significantly exceeded regulatory requirements. The Company is considered to be well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions.
Uncertainties and Trends
Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations. Additionally, management is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have such an effect.
Liquidity and Interest Sensitivity
Liquidity reflects our ability to ensure that funds are available to meet present and future obligations. At June 30, 2010, the Company had liquid assets of approximately $5.16 million in the form of cash and due from banks. Management believes that the Company’s liquid assets are adequate at June 30, 2010. Additional liquidity may be provided by the growth in deposit accounts and loan repayments. In the event the Company would need additional funds, it has the ability to purchase federal funds and borrow under established lines of credit of $96.2 million.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had a negative cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of 29.68% for the one year repricing period. This rate reflects a very conservative estimate since we show an immediate runoff of accounts without a specific maturity date, and does not reflect the historical movement of funds during varying interest rate environments. Adjusted for historical repricing trends in response to interest rate changes, the adjusted Gap Ratio is -15.56%. This indicates that the Company is liability sensitive. But this negative gap ratio is within guidelines set by the Company and the Company expects interest income would remain stable in both a declining and increasing interest rate environment. Management constantly monitors the Company’s interest rate risk and has decided that the current position is an acceptable risk for a community bank operating in a rural environment. Table II shows the Company’s interest sensitivity.

Table II reflects the earlier of the maturity or repricing dates for various assets and liabilities at June 30, 2010. In preparing the above table, no assumptions are made with respect to loan prepayments. Loan principal payments are included in the earliest period in which the loan matures or can be repriced. Principal payments on installment loans scheduled prior to maturity are included in the period of maturity or repricing. A loan with a floating rate, such as the majority of our residential loan portfolio, that has reached a contractual floor or ceiling level is being treated as a fixed rate loan until the rate is again free to float. In the current rate environment, this has the effect of causing the table II to model our adjustable rate loans as fixed rate loans. However in a rising interest rate environment when these loans would be repriced at rates above the contractual floor, and are once again free to float, many of our loans would move from the over 5 year timeframe to a more current timeframe.
