FIRST METROPLEX CAPITAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Organization and Nature of Operations
 
First Metroplex Capital, Inc. (“the Company) was incorporated on December 23, 2002 for the purpose of holding the common stock of T Bank, N.A. (“the Bank”). For the period from December 23, 2002 (date of inception) to November 2, 2004, the Company was in a development stage engaging in the preparation of applications for regulatory approvals, raising capital, financial planning, and systems development, acquisition of equipment and facilities and recruiting activities. On October 29, 2004 the Company completed an offering of 1,680,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering totaled $16,800,000.
 
The Bank began operations on November 2, 2004. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to individuals and corporate customers with two banking facilities serving North Dallas, Addison, Plano, Frisco and surrounding Texas communities. The bank is subject to competition from other local, regional, and national financial institutions and is also subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, T Bank N.A. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the assets, liabilities, and equity of the Bank and the operations and changes in stockholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 have been included.
 
Cash Equivalents and Statement of Cash Flows
 
Due from banks, cash on hand, federal funds sold and all other highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods. From time to time, deposits with correspondent banks will exceed amounts insured by the FDIC. Management does not anticipate any losses and evaluates the correspondent bank's financial status on a regular basis. Advances from organizers of $2,605,000 were converted to common stock upon closing of the stock offering.
 
Loans
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and the allowance for credit losses. Interest earned, both fixed and variable rates, is credited to operations based on the principal balances outstanding. Unearned interest and deferred loan fees are capitalized and recognized as income over the terms of the loan using the effective interest method.
 
The Company grants commercial, real estate and consumer loans to customers. Although the Company anticipates having a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their loan contracts is dependent upon the local economy. The Company's loan policy for requiring collateral is based upon a number of factors including amount and purpose of loan, length of term, past credit history, financial strength and liquidity of the borrower.
 
Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan origination and commitment costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans using the interest method.
 
Impaired loans are accounted for at the net present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
6

 
Allowance for Credit Losses
 
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Until management has adequate historical data upon which to base the estimate of the allowance for credit losses, a balance of approximately one and one half percent of the outstanding principal is used unless additional information regarding the ability of the borrower to repay the loan, current economic conditions or other pertinent factors indicate a different allowance is needed. Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for credit losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance. Because of uncertainties associated with regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the near term.
 
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. When accrual of interest is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due.
 
Investment Securities
 
The Bank has investments in stock of the Federal Reserve System and is required for participation in the services offered. These investments are classified as restricted and are recorded at cost.
 
Leasehold improvements, Furniture and Equipment
 
Leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives for equipment is normally between 3 and 10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease term or estimated life, whichever is shorter. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Under Opinion 25, compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant above the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. No compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price is equal to the market value of the stock on the day of grant. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123) on January 1, 1996 which encourages, but does not require, companies to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments to employees based on fair value accounting rules. Companies that do not adopt the fair value rules will continue to apply the existing rules, but are required to disclose pro forma net income or loss under the new method.

There were no common stock equivalents issued during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and all previously issued warrants were fully vested at December 31, 2004.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is based on net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of potential common stock using the treasury stock method only if the effect on earnings per share is dilutive.
 
Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the year. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations was 1,680,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
 
The Company reported a net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is not considered in the net loss per share calculations for this period as the impact would have been antidilutive.
 
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.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
FASB Statement 123R - On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments which is a revision of FASB No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The provisions of this statement become effective for our first interim period of 2006. Management has not yet determined the impact that this statement will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
 
Management has provided a 100% valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset due to uncertainty of realization during the carry forward period.
 
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had net tax operating loss carry forwards of approximately $191,000 that will ultimately expire in 2024 if not used.
 
NOTE 8. STOCK OPTIONS
 
The Company is currently preparing a stock incentive plan designed to provide it with the flexibility to grant incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to its executive and other officers. The purpose of the plan will be to provide increased incentive for key employees to render services and to exert maximum effort for the success of the Company. The plan will have a term of 10 years. The plan will be administered by the Board of Directors who will reserve 260,000 shares for issuance. There are contractual obligations outstanding at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 to issue options to purchase 150,000 shares. The plan is subject to shareholder approval.
 
NOTE 9. STOCK WARRANTS
 
The Company has two stock warrant plans at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
 
Initial shareholders in the Company received warrants to purchase one share of common stock for every five shares of common stock purchases in the offering. A total of 336,000 warrants were issued. These warrants are exercisable at a price of $12.50 per share at any time until November 2, 2007.
 
The Company’s organizers advanced funds for organizational and other preopening expenses. As consideration for the advances the organizers received warrants to purchase one share of common stock for every $20 advanced up to a limit of $100,000. A total of 96,750 warrants were issued. These warrants are exercisable at a price of $10.00 per share at any time until November 2, 2014.
 
There were no additional warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
 
NOTE 10. ADVANCES FROM ORGANIZERS
 
The Company’s organizers advanced funds for organizational and other preopening expenses. The advances were non interest bearing and had no stated maturity. The Company repaid the advances by issuing shares of common stock at $10 per share.
 
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. At March 31, 2005, the Company had commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit of approximately $4,227,000 and $0, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Company had commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit of approximately $2,124,000 and $0, respectively.
 
11

 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
 
Employment Agreements
 
The Company and the Bank have entered into employment agreements with the three officers of the Bank. The agreements are for an initial three-year term and are automatically renewable for an additional three years unless either party elects not to renew.
 
The agreements provide for compensation and benefits including the issuance of options to acquire up to 140,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share, exercisable within ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, these options had not been issued.
 
The agreements further provide for termination payments in the event of a change in control, as defined.
 
NOTE 12. REGULATORY MATTERS
 
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require
 
the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of
 
Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis presents our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.
 
Statements contained in this report that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including our expectations, intentions, beliefs, or strategies regarding the future. Any statements in this document about expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “will continue,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” and similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this document. All forward-looking statements concerning economic conditions, rates of growth, rates of income or values as may be included in this document are based on information available to us on the dates noted, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results may differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements due to fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, government regulations, economic conditions, customer disintermediation and competitive product and pricing pressures in the geographic and business areas in which we conduct operations, including our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other factors discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, including the following:
 
●  
we have limited operating history upon which to base an estimate of our future financial performance;
 
●  
we have incurred substantial start-up expenses associated with our organization and our recent public offering and expect to sustain losses or achieve minimal profitability during our initial years of operations;
 
●  
if we are unable to implement our business plan and strategies, we will be hampered in our ability to develop business and serve or customers, which, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our financial performance;
 
●  
if we fail to retain our key employees, growth and profitability could be adversely affected;
 
●  
we face substantial competition in our primary market area;
 
●  
the Bank’s current legally mandated lending limits are lower than those of our competitors, which may impair our ability to attract borrowers;
 
●  
an economic downturn, especially one affecting our primary service area, may have an adverse effect on our financial performance;
 
●  
changes in governmental economic and monetary policies, the Internal Revenue Code and banking and credit regulations, as well as other factors, will affect the demand for loans and the ability of the Bank to attract deposits;
 
16

 
●  
changes in the general level of interest rates and other economic factors can affect the Bank’s interest income by affecting the spread between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities;
 
●  
we have no current intentions of paying cash dividends;
 
●  
we are subject to significant government regulation and legislation that increases the cost of doing business and inhibits our ability to compete;
 
●  
we may not be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us; and
 
●  
our directors and executive officers beneficially own a significant portion of our outstanding common stock.
 
These factors and the risk factors referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, and you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
 
Executive Overview
 
Introduction
 
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, offering a broad array of banking services through our wholly owned banking subsidiary, T Bank. Our principal markets include North Dallas, Addison, Plano, Frisco and the neighboring Texas communities. As of March 31, 2005, we had, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $25.5 million, net loans of $11.4 million, total deposits of $11.5 million, and shareholders’ equity of $14 million. We currently operate through a main office located at 16000 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas, and a branch office at 8100 North Dallas Parkway, Plano, Texas.  
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on December 23, 2002 to organize and serve as the holding company for the Bank. In 2004, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock, issuing. 1,680,000 shares at a price of $10.00 per share. The net proceeds that we received from the offering, after deducting offering expenses, were approximately $16.4 million. The Bank opened for business on November 2, 2004.
 
The following discussion focuses on our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Since the Bank did not open until November 2, 2004, comparison to the same period in 2004 would not be meaningful. While comparisons are provided to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, those comparisons are affected significantly by the fact that the Bank did not begin operations until November 2004. There can be no assurance that the growth experienced by the Bank in its initial stage of development will be maintained.
 
Key Performance Indicators at March 31, 2005
 
We believe the following were key indicators of our performance and results of operations through the first quarter of 2005:
 
●  
our total assets grew to $25.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 23%, from $20.7 million at the end of 2004;
 
●  
our total loans grew to $11.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 70%, from $6.6 million at the end of 2004;
 
●  
our total deposits grew to $11.5 million at the end of the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 85%, from $6.2 million at the end of 2004;
 
●  
our total revenue grew to $228,000 in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 145%, from the fourth quarter of 2004; and
 
17

 
●  
our net loss was $472,000 in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 60%, from $294,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
These items, as well as other factors, are discussed in further detail throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.
 
Results of Operations as of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005
 
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
 
Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan, lease and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is our principal source of earnings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. 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. Margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
 
Net interest income increased by 125%, or $109,000, to $196,000 in the first quarter of 2005 from $87,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004. Our net interest margin increased to 4.0% from 3.6%. Our net interest spread also increased to 2.65% from 2.16%. These increases primarily resulted from redeploying money invested in overnight fed funds into higher earning loans.
 
Total interest income increased by 125% to $226,000 for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $5,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase is attributable primarily to the fact that the Bank opened November 2, 2004 and therefore operated for only two months of the fourth quarter of 2004. We also benefited from increases in average interest-earning assets. Average net loans increased by $.3.7 million (75%), to $8.6 million, as compared to $4.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. We attributed this growth in loans to our ongoing marketing efforts.
 
Total interest expense increased by 500% to $30,000 in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $5,000 in the fourth quarter of 2004. These increases resulted primarily from our ongoing marketing efforts to attract new deposits. The average interest rate we paid for interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2005 was 1.9%, compared to 1.6% for the fourth quarter of 2004. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 244% to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
The following table sets forth our average balances of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, in addition to the major components of net interest income and our net interest margin for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005.

Changes in volume and changes in interest rates affect our interest income and interest expense. The effect of these changes is typically displayed in a volume, mix and rate analysis table which compares the changes in income and expense over periods. Since the Company has a limited operating history, data to analyze these changes is not currently available.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
We determine a provision for loan losses that we consider sufficient to maintain an allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in our portfolio as of the balance sheet date. For additional information concerning this determination, see the section of this discussion and analysis captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses.”
 
19

 
In the first quarter of 2005, our provision for loan and lease losses was $74,000 compared to $100,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004. The provision amounts are directly related to loan volumes. Because the Bank recently opened, as with the fourth quarter of 2004, we did not have any charge-offs or non-performing loans during the first quarter of 2005.
 
Noninterest Income
 
As with the fourth quarter of 2004, our noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was attributable solely to service charges on depository accounts. Services charges for the first quarter of 2005 totaled $3,000, compared to $1,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase in income from service charges is attributable to the increase in our number of transactional and savings accounts.

Our total noninterest expense increased to $596,000 in the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $362,000 for the fourth quarter of 2004, representing a decrease of 64%. This difference is attributable primarily to the expanded personnel and occupancy costs associated with the opening of the Bank and our initial business growth. While we anticipate that the overall volume of our noninterest expense will continue to increase as we grow, we are committed to controlling costs and efficiency and expect to moderate these increases relative to our revenue growth.
 
Salaries and employee benefits totaled $352,000 for the first quarter of 2005. We had 15 full-time equivalent employees as of March 31, 2005. Our volume of assets per employee as of the end of the first quarter of 2005 was $580,000.
 
Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $105,000 for the first quarter of 2005, attributable primarily to lease expense and depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.
 
Holding company administrative expenses were $16,000, or 2% of total noninterest expenses, for the first quarter of 2005. This is attributable primarily to fees associated with public reporting and other expenses generally associated with publicly-traded companies.
 
Income Taxes
 
No federal tax expense has been recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, based upon net operating losses. Based upon the Company’s limited operating history, the federal tax benefit of these losses has been fully reserved.
 
Financial Condition
 
Our total assets as of March 31, 2005 were $25.5 million, compared to $20.7 million as of December 31, 2004. The increase in our total assets during the first quarter of 2005 were primarily the result of an increase in deposits.
 
20

 
Our total deposits increased to $11.4 million as of March 31, 2005, compared to $6.6 million as of December 31, 2004. Our asset growth during the first quarter of 2005 was primarily the result of our continued marketing efforts to attract new clients.
 
As of March 31, 2005, our shareholders’ equity was $14.0 million, compared to $14.5 million as of December 31, 2004. This decrease was the result of operating losses in the first quarter of 2005.
 
Short-Term Investments and Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions
 
At March 31, 2005, the Bank had $10.6 million in federal funds sold. At December 31, 2004 the Bank had $11.6 million. Federal funds sold, compared to $11.6 million at December 31, 2004. Federal funds sold allow the Bank to meet liquidity requirements and provide temporary holdings until the funds can be otherwise deployed or invested.
 
Investment Securities
 
Our investment portfolio will primarily serve as a source of interest income and, secondarily, as a source of liquidity and a management tool for our interest rate sensitivity. We manage our investment portfolio according to a written investment policy established by our Board of Directors and implemented by our Investment/Asset-liability Committee.
 
At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Bank’s securities consisted solely of Federal Reserve Bank Stock, having an amortized cost of $420,000 an estimate fair value of $420,000, and a weighted average yield of 5.7%.

As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our total loans were $11.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The increase in our loan volume during the first quarter of 2005 resulted from the continued growth of our operations. Our total loans as a percentage of total assets increased to 45% as of March 31, 2005 from 32% as of December 31, 2004.
 
Our commercial loan portfolio is comprised of lines of credit for working capital and term loans to finance equipment and other business assets. Our lines of credit typically are limited to a percentage of the value of the assets securing the line. Lines of credit and term loans typically are reviewed annually and are supported by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets of our client’s businesses. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, funded loans totaled $4.5 million and $3.4 million, approximately 39% and 51% of our total funded loans, respectively.
 
21

 
Our consumer loan portfolio consists of personal lines of credit and loans to acquire personal assets such as automobiles and boats. Our lines of credit generally have terms of one year and our term loans generally have terms of three to five years. Our lines of credit typically have floating rates. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, funded consumer loans totaled $232,000 and $176,000, approximately 2% and 2.6% of our total funded loans, respectively.
 
Our real estate loan portfolio is comprised of construction loans and short term mortgage loans. Construction loans consist primarily of single-family residential properties, have a term of less than one year and have floating rates and commitment fees. We typically make construction loans to builders that have an established record of successful project completion and loan repayment. Short term mortgage loans typically are secured by commercial properties occupied by the borrower, have terms of three to seven years with both fixed and floating rates. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, funded real estate loans totaled $6.9 million and $3.1 million, approximately 59% and 46% of our total funded loans, respectively.
 
Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At March 31, 2005, our commercial loan portfolio included $3.0 million of loans, approximately 26% of our total funded loans, to fund the purchase of dental practices. We believe that these loans are well secured to credit worthy borrowers and are diversified geographically. As new loans are generated and the Bank continues to grow, the percentage of the total loan portfolio creating the foregoing concentration may remain constant thereby continuing the risk associated with industry concentration.
 
Management may renew loans at maturity when requested by a customer whose financial strength appears to support such a renewal or when such a renewal appears to be in the best interest of the Bank. The Bank requires payment of accrued interest in such instances and may adjust the rate of interest, require a principal reduction, or modify other terms of the loan at the time of renewal.
 
Our loan terms vary according to loan type. The following table shows our maturity distribution of loans and leases as of March 31, 2005:

Nonperforming Loans, Leases and Assets
 
Nonperforming assets consist of loans and leases on nonaccrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans that have been restructured resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, OREO, and other repossessed assets. As of March 31, 2005, we had no nonperforming assets.
 
A potential problem loan is defined as a loan where information about possible credit problems of the borrower is known, causing management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan payment terms and which may result in the inclusion of such loan in one of the nonperforming asset categories. We maintain an internally classified loan list that helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans classified as “special mention” are those that contain a weakness that, if left unattended, could develop into a problem affecting the ultimate collectibility of the loan. Loans classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as highly leveraged positions, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment resources or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize recoverability of the loan. Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans that have characteristics similar to substandard loans, but also have an increased risk that loss may occur or at least a portion of the loan may require a charge-off if liquidated at present. Although loans classified as substandard do not duplicate loans classified as doubtful, both substandard and doubtful loans may include some loans that are past due at least 90 days, are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. Loans classified as “loss” are those loans that are in the process of being charged-off. The Bank had no loans classified in these categories at March 31, 2005.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Implicit in our lending activities is the fact that loan losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan being made and the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. To reflect the currently perceived risk of loss associated with our loan portfolio, additions are made to our allowance for loan losses in the form of direct charges against income and allowance is available to absorb possible loan losses. The factors that influence the amount include, among others, the remaining collateral and/or financial condition of the borrowers, historical loan loss, changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, and general economic conditions.
 
The amount of the allowance equals the cumulative total of the provisions made from time to time, reduced by loan charge-offs and increased by recoveries of loans previously charged-off. Until management has adequate historical data upon which to base the estimate of the allowance for loan losses, a balance of approximately 1.5% of the outstanding principal will be used unless additional information regarding the ability of the borrower to repay the loan, current economic conditions or other pertinent factors indicate a different allowance is needed. Thus, our allowance was $174,000 and $100,000 of outstanding principal as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
 
Credit and loan decisions are made by management and the Board of Directors in conformity with loan policies established by the board of directors. The Bank’s practice is to charge-off any loan or portion of a loan when the loan is determined by management to be uncollectible due to the borrower’s failure to meet repayment terms, the borrower’s deteriorating or deteriorated financial condition, the depreciation of the underlying collateral, the loan’s classification as a loss by regulatory examiners, or other reasons. During the year ended December 31, 2004 and first quarter of 2005, we did not incur any charge-offs.
 
The following table sets forth the specific allocation of the allowance for the periods indicated and the percentage of allocated possible loan losses in each category to total gross loans. An allocation for a loan classification is only for internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance and is not an indication of expected or anticipated losses:

Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy Requirements
 
The risk-based capital regulations established and administered by the banking regulatory agencies discussed previously are applicable to the Bank. Risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under the regulations, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, to be adequately capitalized a bank must maintain minimum ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.00%, and Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%. Failure to meet these capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.
 
As of March 31, 2005, the Bank was categorized as well-capitalized. A well-capitalized institution must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 6.00%, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of at least 5.00% and must not be subject to any written order, agreement, or directive requiring it to meet or maintain a specific capital level.

Liquidity Management
 
Our stock offering closed October 29, 2004 with 1,680,000 shares sold representing $16.8 million in gross total capital raised. Of this sum $403,000 was used for offering expenses and $14 million was injected into the Bank. Pre-opening costs totaled $1.6 million and consisted of professional fees of $282,000, consulting fees of $763,000 and operational expenses of $523,000. In addition the Company funded certain expenses and the purchase of certain capital assets totaling $733,000 that was reimbursed and purchased by the Bank in early 2005. At March 31, 2005 the Company (excluding the Bank) had approximately $813,000 in remaining cash proceeds. These funds can be used for Company operations, investment and for later infusion into the Bank and other corporate activities. The primary source of liquidity for the Company will be dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is currently restricted from paying dividends without regulatory approval which will not be granted until the accumulated deficit has been eliminated.
 
The Bank’s liquidity is monitored by its staff, the Investment/Asset-Liability Committee and the Board of Directors, who will review historical funding requirements, current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.
 
The Bank’s primary sources of funds will be retail and commercial deposits, loan and securities repayments, other short-term borrowings, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Bank will maintain investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (1) the need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets, and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program. We anticipate eliminating the need for borrowed funds upon infusion of additional cash and cash equivalents.
 
As loan demand increases, greater pressure will be exerted on the Bank’s liquidity. However, it is our intention to maintain a conservative loan to deposit ratio in the range of 70% over time. Given this goal, we will not aggressively pursue lending opportunities if sufficient funding sources (i.e., deposits, Fed Funds, etc.) are not available, nor will we seek to attract transient volatile, non-local deposits with above market interest rates. As of March 31, 2005, the loan to deposit ratio was 94%.
 
The Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $12.7 million, or 49% of total Bank assets, at March 31, 2005. We believe that, with the capital injection from the proceeds of the offering, the Bank should have more than adequate liquidity to meet anticipated future funding needs.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies, which could affect its ability to pay dividends to the Company. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on our financial statements. The minimum ratios required for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes, and therefore eligible to consider the payment of dividends to the Company, will be 10% total capital to risk weighted assets, 6% tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets and 5% tier 1 capital to average assets. At March 31, 2005, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” by regulatory standards.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
 
Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting us. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities. Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure to a movement in interest rates that could have an adverse effect on our net interest income or the market value of our financial instruments. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of our asset and liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board of Directors and carried out by the Bank’s Investment/Asset-liability Committee. The Investment/Asset-liability Committee’s objectives are to manage our exposure to interest rate risk over both the one year planning cycle and the longer term strategic horizon and, at the same time, to provide a stable and steadily increasing flow of net interest income.
 
Our primary measurement of interest rate risk is earnings at risk, which is determined through computerized simulation modeling. The primary simulation model assumes a static balance sheet, using the balances, rates, maturities and repricing characteristics of all of the Bank’s existing assets and liabilities. Net interest income is computed by the model assuming market rates remaining unchanged and compares those results to other interest rate scenarios with changes in the magnitude, timing and relationship between various interest rates. At March 31, 2005, we modeled rising ramp and declining interest rate simulations in 100 basis point increments over a 12-month period. The impact of imbedded options in such products as callable and mortgage-backed securities, real estate mortgage loans and callable borrowings were considered. Changes in net interest income in the rising and declining rate scenarios are then measured against the net interest income in the rates unchanged scenario. The Investment/Asset-liability Committee utilizes the results of the model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes.
 
In the March 31, 2005 simulation, our model indicated an exposure in the level of net interest income to rising rates for a 12-month period. The hypothetical rate scenarios consider an up or down change of 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points during a 12-month period. At March 31, 2005, the net interest income at risk for year one in the 100 basis point falling rate scenario was calculated at $81,000, or 8.9% lower than the net interest income in the rates unchanged scenario, and $164,000, or 18%, lower than the net interest income in the rates unchanged scenario at the March 31, 2005 simulation with a 200 basis point decrease. These exposures are well within our policy guidelines of 20%. At March 31, 2005, the net interest income for year one in the 100 basis point rising rate scenario was calculated to be $78,000, or 8.6%, higher than the net interest income in the rates unchanged scenario, and $155,000, or 17%, higher than the net interest income in the rate unchanged scenario at the March 31, 2005 simulation with a 200 basis point increase. Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan and security prepayments, deposit run-offs and pricing and reinvestment strategies and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions we may take in response to changes in interest rates. We cannot assure you that our actual net interest income would increase or decrease by the amounts computed by the simulations. The following table indicates the estimated impact on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios as of March 31, 2005:

We also monitor the repricing terms of our assets and liabilities through gap matrix reports for the rates in unchanged, rising and falling interest rate scenarios. The reports illustrate, at designated time frames, the dollar amount of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing.
 
The following table sets forth, on a stand-alone basis, the Bank’s amounts of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and the nominal amount of interest rate swaps outstanding at March 31, 2005, which we anticipate, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The projected repricing of assets and liabilities anticipates prepayments and scheduled rate adjustments, as well as contractual maturities under an interest rate unchanged scenario within the selected time intervals. While we believe such assumptions are reasonable, we cannot assure you that assumed repricing rates will approximate our actual future deposit activity.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the gap table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates, both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. More importantly, changes in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in the calculations in the table. As a result of these shortcomings, we focus more on earnings at risk simulation modeling than on gap analysis. Even though the gap analysis reflects a ratio of cumulative gap to total assets within acceptable limits, the earnings at risk simulation modeling is considered by management to be more informative in forecasting future income at risk.
 
Finally, we also monitor core funding utilization in each interest rate scenario as well as market value of equity. These measures are used to evaluate long-term interest rate risk beyond the two-year planning horizon.

ITEM 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The information contained in the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as set forth in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).
 
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings
 
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or the Bank is a party or to which any of our properties are subject; nor are there material proceedings known to the Company, in which any director, officer or affiliate or any principal shareholder is a party or has an interest adverse to the Company or the Bank.

ITEM 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On April 30, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-111153) related to our initial public offering our common stock, $0.01 par value. In addition, on December 1, 2004, we filed a Form SB-2 MEF under Rule 462 registering additional shares of common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock under our public offering. We registered a total of 2,116,000 shares of our common stock, of which 436,000 shares are issuable under registered common stock warrants (warrants to purchase an aggregate of 336,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.50 per share issued to the initial shareholders of the Company in connection with the offering, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share issued to the organizers of the Company). On October 29, 2004, we completed our initial public offering having sold 1,680,000 shares at $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $16.8 million.
 
The Company incurred $403,000 in offering expenses, none of which was paid to directors, officers, ten percent or greater shareholders, any of their associates, or affiliates of the Company. None of those expenses were paid to underwriters or for underwriting discounts and commissions or finders’ fees. The net offering proceeds to the Company after deducting the foregoing expenses were approximately $16.4 million.
 
The following is a reasonable estimate of the application of net offering proceeds through March 31, 2005:
