Interest income on loans includes fee income of approximately $135,554 and $272,900 for the period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company’s average total assets increased to $574.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $496.4 million for the same period in 2006, a $47.6 million increase or 9.0%.

The Company’s practice is to place an asset on nonaccrual status when one of the following events occurs: (i) Any installment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, (ii) management determines the ultimate collection of principal or interest to be unlikely or (iii) the terms of the loan have been renegotiated due to a serious weakening of the borrower’s financial condition. Interest income on loans does not reflect accruals on loans in a nonaccrual status. Accruals are resumed on loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when the loan is estimated to be fully collectible.
