Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

(1) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make those statements not misleading. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the allowance for loan losses, real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, and fair values of investment securities available-for-sale that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Company’s management has evaluated and did not identify any subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes filed in our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

     On July 1, 2011, our Company paid a special stock dividend of four percent to common shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2011. For all periods presented, share information, including basic and diluted earnings per share have been adjusted retroactively to reflect this change.

     The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the quarterly financial statements are disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report on form 10-K.
