NOTE 3 – RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

Our subsidiary banks are required to maintain average reserve balances in the form of cash and non-interest bearing balances due from the Federal Reserve Bank. The average reserve balances required to be maintained during 2012 and 2011 were $17.8 million and $14.6 million, respectively. These balances earned interest at a rate of 0.25% during both 2012 and 2011.
