NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Surrey Bancorp, (the Company), as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and its changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and related disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Companys Form 10-K. The balance sheet at December 31, 2008, has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date.
Organization
Surrey Bancorp began operation on May 1, 2003 and was created for the purpose of acquiring all the outstanding shares of common stock of Surrey Bank & Trust. Stockholders of the bank received six shares of Surrey Bancorp common stock for every five shares of Surrey Bank & Trust common stock owned. The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve.
Surrey Bank & Trust (the Bank) was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on July 15, 1996 and commenced operations on July 22, 1996. The Bank currently serves Surry County, North Carolina and Patrick County, Virginia and surrounding areas through five banking offices. As a state chartered bank, which is not a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is subject to regulation by the State of North Carolina Banking Commission and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Surrey Investment Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on February 10, 1998. The Subsidiary provides insurance services through SB&T Insurance and investment advice and brokerage services through U-VEST.
On July 31, 2000, Surrey Bank & Trust formed Freedom Finance, LLC, an operation specializing in the purchase of sales finance contracts from local automobile dealers.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company, the Bank, and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. Following is a summary of the more significant policies.
Critical Accounting Policies
The notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 contain a summary of the significant accounting policies. The Company believes our policies with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and asset impairment judgments, including the recoverability of intangible assets involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. See our Annual Report for full details on critical accounting policies.
7
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segments
The Company reports its activities in two business segments. In determining the appropriateness of segment definition, the Company considers the materiality of potential business segments and components of the business about which financial information is available and regularly evaluated relative to resource allocation and performance assessment.
Presentation of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash and amounts due from depository institutions (including cash items in process of collection). Overnight interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold are shown separately. Federal funds purchased are shown with securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Investment Securities
Investments classified as available for sale are intended to be held for indefinite periods of time and include those securities that management may employ as part of asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayments, regulatory capital requirements or similar factors. These securities are carried at fair value and are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or significant other observable inputs.
Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, computed by the interest-method over their contractual lives. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank had no investments classified as held to maturity.
Loans Held for Sale
The Bank originates and holds SBA and USDA guaranteed loans in its portfolio in the normal course of business. Occasionally, the Bank sells the guaranteed portions of these loans into the secondary market. The loans are generally variable rate loans, which eliminates the market risk to the Bank and are therefore carried at cost. The Bank recognizes gains on the sale of the guaranteed portion upon the consummation of the transaction. The Bank plans to continue to originate guaranteed loans for sales, however no such loans were funded at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal amount adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or cost on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. The Bank makes continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance balance.

Interest on all loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balance. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, the borrowers financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, (FSP SFAS 132(R)-1). This FSP provides guidance on an employers disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The objective of the FSP is to provide the users of financial statements with an understanding of: (a) how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; (b) the major categories of plan assets; (c) the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; (d) the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period; and (e) significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The FSP also requires a nonpublic entity, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 132, to disclose net periodic benefit cost for each period for which a statement of income is presented. FSP SFAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Staff Position will require the Company to provide additional disclosures related to its benefit plans.
FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, (FSP EITF 99-20-1) was issued in January 2009. Prior to the FSP, other-than-temporary impairment was determined by using either Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, (EITF 99-20) or SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, (SFAS 115) depending on the type of security. EITF 99-20 required the use of market participant assumptions regarding future cash flows regarding the probability of collecting all cash flows previously projected. SFAS 115 determined impairment to be other than temporary if it was probable that the holder would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. To achieve a more consistent determination of other-than-temporary impairment, the FSP amends EITF 99-20 to determine any other-than-temporary impairment based on the guidance in SFAS 115, allowing management to use more judgment in determining any other-than-temporary impairment. The FSP was effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. Management has reviewed the Companys security portfolio and evaluated the portfolio for any other-than-temporary impairments.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued three staff positions related to fair value which are discussed below.
FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, (FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2) categorizes losses on debt securities available-for-sale or held-to-maturity determined by management to be other-than-temporarily impaired into losses due to credit issues and losses related to all other factors. Other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists when it is more likely than not that the security will mature or be sold before its amortized cost basis can be recovered. An OTTI related to credit losses should be recognized through earnings. An OTTI related to other factors should be recognized in other comprehensive income. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. Annual disclosures required in SFAS 115 and FSP SFAS 115-1 and SFAS 124-1 are also required for interim periods (including the aging of securities with unrealized losses).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued
FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That are Not Orderly recognizes that quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value when the volume and level of trading activity has significantly decreased. The evaluation of certain factors may necessitate that fair value be determined using a different valuation technique. Fair value should be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. If a transaction is considered to not be orderly, little, if any, weight should be placed on the transaction price. If there is not sufficient information to conclude as to whether or not the transaction is orderly, the transaction price should be considered when estimating fair value. An entitys intention to hold an asset or liability is not relevant in determining fair value. Quoted prices provided by pricing services may still be used when estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157; however, the entity should evaluate whether the quoted prices are based on current information and orderly transactions. Inputs and valuation techniques are required to be disclosed in addition to any changes in valuation techniques.
FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and also requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods A publicly traded company includes any company whose securities trade in a public market on either a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or any company that is a conduit bond obligor. Additionally, when a company makes a filing with a regulatory agency in preparation for sale of its securities in a public market it is considered a publicly traded company for this purpose.
The three staff positions are effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, in which case all three must be adopted. The Company will adopt the staff positions for its second quarter 10-Q but does not expect the staff positions to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Also on April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. The FSP requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from a contingency be recognized at fair value. If fair value cannot be determined during the measurement period as determined in SFAS 141 (R), the asset or liability can still be recognized if it can be determined that it is probable that the asset existed or the liability had been incurred as of the measurement date and if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. If it is not determined to be probable that the asset/liability existed/was incurred or no reasonable amount can be determined, no asset or liability is recognized. The entity should determine a rational basis for subsequently measuring the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Contingent consideration agreements should be recognized initially at fair value and subsequently reevaluated in accordance with guidance found in paragraph 65 of SFAS 141 (R). The FSP is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the Companys first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will assess the impact of the FSP if and when a future acquisition occurs.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 111 on April 9, 2009 to amend Topic 5.M., Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and to supplement FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2. SAB 111 maintains the staffs previous views related to equity securities; however debt securities are excluded from its scope. The SAB provides that other-than-temporary impairment is not necessarily the same as permanent impairment and unless evidence exists to support a value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the equity security investment, a write-down to fair value should be recorded and accounted for as a realized loss. The SAB was effective upon issuance and had no impact on the Companys financial position.
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 Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. The potential dilutive shares are represented by common stock options and by the Series A convertible preferred stock which is convertible into 2.0868 shares of common stock.
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT
At March 31, 2009, the Company had commitments to extend credit, including unused lines of credit of approximately $34,938,000. Letters of credit totaling $2,145,701 were outstanding.
NOTE 4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has two share-based compensation plans. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was approximately $11,377 and $12,948 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $3,869 and $4,402 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale, trading securities and derivatives, if present, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Fair Value Hierarchy
Under SFAS 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
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 generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities 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, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the securitys credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets 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 asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
11
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 losses 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. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2009, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or managements estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets and liabilities that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Companys reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services.
They are managed separately because each segment appeals to different markets and, accordingly, requires different technology and marketing strategies.
The Company derives a majority of its revenue from interest income and relies primarily on net interest income to assess the performance of the segments and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. Therefore, the segments are reported using net interest income for the period ended March 31, 2009. The Company does allocate income taxes to the segments. Other income represents noninterest income which is also allocated to the segments. The Company includes the holding company and an insurance and investment agency in its Bank segment above. The Company does not have any single external customer from which is derives 10 percent or more of its revenues and operations in any one geographical area.
NOTE 7. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has a Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan SERP to provide future compensation to certain members of management. Under plan provisions, annual payments projected to range from $16,388 to $89,914 are payable for the life of the executive, generally beginning at age 65. The liability accrued for the compensation under the plan was $350,124 and $267,381 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Employee benefits expense, an actuarially determined amount, was $19,912 and $23,002 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The assumed discount rate for the plan is 7.0%.
The Company also has a deferred compensation plan under which directors may elect to defer their directors fees. Participating directors receive an additional 30% matching contribution and will be paid an annual benefit for a specified number of years after retirement, generally beginning at age 65. The maximum payout period is ten years. Deferred directors fees accrued under the plan were $434,300 and $323,801 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Deferred directors fees expensed were $36,210 and $23,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company has purchased and is the primary beneficiary of life insurance policies indirectly related to the SERP and the directors deferred compensation liability. The cash value of the life insurance policies totaled $3,088,765 and $2,979,794 at March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Introduction
This discussion, analysis and related financial information are presented to explain the significant factors which affected Surrey Bancorps financial condition and results of operations for three months ending March 31, 2009 and 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained within this report.
Surrey Bancorp (Company) is a North Carolina corporation, located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Company was incorporated on February 6, 2003, and began business on May 1, 2003.
Surrey Bank & Trust (Bank) is a North Carolina state chartered bank, located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The Bank was chartered on July 15, 1996, and began operations on July 22, 1996. The Bank has two operating subsidiaries: Surrey Investment Services, Inc. and Freedom Finance, LLC.
Effective March 5, 1998, the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Highlights
Certain information contained in this discussion may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by phrases such as the Company expects, the Company believes or words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate fluctuations, competition within and from outside the banking industry, new products and services in the banking industry, risk inherent in making loans such as repayment risks and fluctuating collateral values, problems with technology utilized by the Company, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulations applicable to the Company. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reliable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Net income available for common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2009, was $924,035 or $0.27 per diluted share outstanding compared to a $374,224 or $0.11 per diluted share outstanding for the same period in 2008. Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are approximately 144% higher than for the same period in 2008. The increase results from a 177.6% increase in non-interest income from $567,387 in the first quarter of 2008 to $1,574,767 in 2009. This increase is attributable to earnings from Freedom Finance, LLC, the Banks sales finance subsidiary, which recorded tax-exempt life insurance proceeds of $1,000,000 in the first quarter. The proceeds were on the life of a former partner of the subsidiary. Excluding the life insurance proceeds, noninterest income increased 1.3% in 2009 primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit accounts. Net interest income decreased 3.6% from $1,787,829 in the first quarter of 2008 to $1,723,673 in 2009. This decrease is due to the steep decrease in interest rates in 2008 and the resulting contraction of the net interest margin. However, heavy re-pricing of deposit costs in the first quarter of 2009 has stabilized the net interest margin, with improvement expected in the coming quarters. Noninterest expenses increased 1.1% from $1,612,481 in the first quarter of 2008, to $1,629,281 in 2009. Most of this increase is associated with salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Salaries and benefits increased due to normal merit increases. Occupancy expenses increased due to the opening of our permanent Stuart, Virginia branch in the second quarter of 2008. The costs of the new permanent branch are incrementally higher than the cost of the previous temporary location. These increases were offset somewhat by other cost controls which reduced other expenses by 3.6%.
On March 31, 2009, Surrey Bancorps assets totaled $207,214,651 compared to $204,178,015 on December 31, 2008. Net loans were $173,403,182 compared to $172,080,251 on December 31, 2008. This increase is attributable to increases in commercial loans. Commercial loans increased 2.26% from the 2008 year-end totals. These increases have been partially offset by minor decreases in other loan categories.
15
Total deposits on March 31, 2009, were $165,479,688 compared to $163,747,112 at the end of 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in savings deposits, which include money market accounts. Demand deposits increased 0.32% from 2008 totals, while savings deposits increased 7.29%. Certificates of deposit increased 0.08% from December 31, 2008 totals.
Common stockholders equity increased by $1,024,027 or 4.71% during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is comprised of net income of $985,668, proceeds from exercised stock options of $82,322, tax benefits from the exercise of Non Qualified Stock Options of $19,903 and other stock based compensation of $7,508. Decreases included the payment and accrual of preferred dividends and adjustments to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $61,932 and $9,742, respectively. The net increase resulted in a common stock book value of $7.13 per share, up from $6.87 on December 31, 2008.
The book value per common share is calculated by taking total stockholders equity, subtracting all preferred equity, and then dividing by the total number of common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period.
Preferred stockholders equity increased $1,982,405 during the period ended March 31, 2009, as detailed in Note 8 to the financial statements. Combined preferred and common stockholders equity increased $3,006,432, or 12.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Investments
The Bank maintains a portfolio of securities as part of its asset/liability and liquidity management programs which emphasize effective yields and maturities to match its needs. The composition of the investment portfolio is examined periodically and appropriate realignments are initiated to meet liquidity and interest rate sensitivity needs for the Bank.
Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted by premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates. The Bank had no Held to Maturity securities at March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as trading securities or as held to maturity securities.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.
Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below cost that are other than temporary are reflected as write-downs of the individual securities to fair value. Related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.
Investments in available for sale securities of $2,638,831 consisted of U.S. Governmental Agency obligations with maturities ranging from two to thirty-five months, corporate bonds with maturities of nine to nine and one-half years, that reprice quarterly, and GNMA adjustable rate mortgage securities, which adjust annually.
Loans
Net loans outstanding on March 31, 2009, were $173,403,182 compared to $172,080,251 on December 31, 2008. The Bank maintains a loan portfolio dominated by real estate and commercial loans diversified among various industries. Approximately 67.6% of the Banks loans as of March 31, 2009, are fixed rate loans with 32.4% floating with the Banks prime rate or other appropriate internal or external indices.
Deposits
Deposits on March 31, 2009, were $165,479,688, compared to $163,747,112 on December 31, 2008. The March total comes from a base of approximately 12,054 accounts compared to 12,048 accounts at December 31, 2008. Interest-bearing accounts represented 84.5% of March 31, 2009 period end deposits versus 85.2% at December 31, 2008.

The consolidated provision for loan losses charged to operations was $754,716 in the first three months of 2009 compared to $141,737 for the same period in 2008. The provision attributable to the Bank increased from $150,666 in 2008 to $699,401 in 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in reserves on impaired loans and to a lesser extent loan growth. The increased reserves on impaired loans primarily resulted from the deterioration of the debtors collateral bases on specific loans during the first quarter of 2009. These collateral bases include inventory and accounts receivable, among other operating assets. The provision attributable to Freedom Finance, LLC increased from a recoupment of reserves of $8,929 in 2008 to $55,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the Freedom Finance, LLC provision was due to increased defaults in 2009 due to a slumping economy. Net charge offs in the finance company increased from $11,689 in 2008 to $75,587 during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

The reserve for loan losses on March 31, 2009, was $4,005,207 or 2.26% of period end loans. This percentage is derived from total loans. Approximately $33,181,000 of the total loans outstanding at March 31, 2009, are government guaranteed loans which the Banks exposure ranges from 10% to 49% of the outstanding balance. When the guaranteed portions of the loans are removed from the equation, the loan loss reserve is approximately 2.61% of outstanding loans.
The level of reserve is established based upon managements evaluation of portfolio composition, current and projected national and local economic conditions, and results of independent reviews of the loan portfolio by internal and external examination. Management recognizes the inherent risk associated with commercial and consumer lending, including whether or not a borrowers actual results of operations will correspond to those projected by the borrower when the loan was funded; economic factors such as the number of housing starts and increases in interest rates, etc.; depression of collateral values; and completion of projects within the original cost and time estimates. As a result, management continues to actively monitor the Banks asset quality and lending policies. Management believes that its loan portfolio is diversified so that a downturn in a particular market or industry will not have a significant impact on the loan portfolio or the Banks financial condition. Management believes that its provision and reserve offer an adequate allowance for loan losses and provide an appropriate reserve for the loan portfolio.
Unsecured loans that are past due more than 90 days are placed into nonaccrual status. Secured loans reach nonaccrual status when they surpass 120 days past due. When facts and circumstances indicate the borrower has regained the ability to meet the required payments, the loan is returned to accrual status.
At March 31, 2009, the Bank had loans totaling approximately $569,070 in nonaccrual status. Loans that were considered impaired but were still accruing interest at March 31, 2009, totaled $2,503,240. Specific reserves on non-accrual and impaired loans totaled $1,379,898 at quarter end, or 44.9% of the balances outstanding.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
One of the principal duties of the Banks Asset/Liability Management Committee is management of interest rate risk. The Bank utilitizes quarterly asset/liability reports prepared by a regional correspondent bank to project the impact on net interest income that might occur with hypothetical interest rate changes. The committee monitors and manages asset and liability strategies and pricing.
Another function of the Asset/Liability Committee is maintaining adequate liquidity and planning for future liquidity needs. Having adequate liquidity means the ability to meet current funding needs, including deposit withdrawals and commitments, in an orderly manner without sacrificing earnings. The Bank funds its investing activities, including making loans and purchasing investments, by attracting deposits and utilizing short-term borrowings when necessary.
At March 31, 2009, the liquidity position of the Company was good, with short-term liquid assets of $19,513,908. Proceeds from the issuance of Series B and C preferred stock to the United States Treasury primarily accounted for the increase in liquidity from December 31, 2008 totals. To provide supplemental liquidity, the Bank has five lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $15,000,000. At March 31, 2009, there were no advances against these lines. However, subsequent to March 31, 2009, one of the correspondent banks providing unsecured lines to the Bank was closed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Subsequently, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was named Receiver. The remaining bank has been chartered as a new national bank by the OCC and controlled by the FDIC in accordance with section 11(n) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. This will allow the failed bank to be liquidated in an orderly fashion. The unsecured line provided by this correspondent was $7,000,000. The line is still available until liquidation, but is subject to reduction. The Bank plans to contact other correspondent banks in an effort to replace or at least partially replace the amount of this line. Additionally, the Bank has a secured borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The maximum credit available under this agreement approximates $16,810,000 of which $12,700,000 of advances had been taken down at March 31, 2009. In addition, Freedom Finance, LLC has a secured revolving line of credit with another commercial bank in the amount of $1,000,000. At March 31, 2009, no amount was outstanding on this line.
