LINCOLN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
 
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lincoln Bancorp (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Lincoln Bank, a state chartered commercial bank (“Lincoln” or the “Bank”), and Lincoln’s wholly owned subsidiaries, LF Service Corporation (“LF Service”) and Citizens Loan and Service Corporation (“CLSC”), both Indiana corporations, and LF Portfolio Services, Inc. (“LF Portfolio”), a Delaware corporation. A summary of significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included in the December 31, 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
The interim consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2008 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007, have not been audited by independent accountants, but reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.
 
Reclassifications of certain amounts in the 2007 consolidated financial statements have been made to conform to the 2008 presentation.
 
 
Note 2: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Unearned Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares have been excluded from the computation of average common shares outstanding.

Options to purchase 289,796 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $13.89 to $19.40 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2008, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were anti-dilutive.
 
Options to purchase 682,372 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $7.32 to $18.75 per share were outstanding at March 31, 2007, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options were anti-dilutive.

Note 3: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157).  FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  FAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period.
 
FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
 
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
 
Available-for-sale Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.  Level 2 securities include certain collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage backed securities, corporate trust preferred  notes and certain municipal securities.  In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain trust preferred stock pools and structured government agency securities which are less liquid securities.
 
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans held for sale are initially recorded at cost and evaluated for lower of cost or fair value at each reporting period. As of March 31, 2008 the fair value of loans held for sale approximated cost and as such no fair value disclosure is included on these loans in the tables below.

Impaired Loans
 
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the contractual loan terms is not expected.  Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimate future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Loans are evaluated for impairment quarterly. During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank evaluated $8.6 million of loans for impairment and determined specific impairment on these loans totaling $2.0 million. Certain of these impaired loans were impaired for the first time, partially charged-off or re-evaluated, resulting in a remaining balance for these loans, net of specific allowance, of $3.9 million. This valuation would be considered Level 3.  Level 3 inputs for impaired loans included current and prior appraisals, discounting factors, the borrowers’ financial results and other considerations including expected cash flows.
 
 
Mortgage Servicing rights
 
Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost and periodically evaluated for impairment as described in (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. New mortgage servicing rights recorded during the current accounting period are recorded at fair value and are disclosed as a nonrecurring measurement.
 
Mortgage servicing rights recorded as an asset and into income during the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled  $42,000. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  Accordingly, fair values of new mortgage servicing rights are estimated using discounted cash flow models.  Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, recording initial mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
 
 
Note 4 : Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.  This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of the adoption was not material.
 
In February 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). Adoption of SFAS 159 is required for January 1, 2008. This statement allows, but does not require, companies to record certain assets and liabilities at their fair value. The fair value determination is made at the instrument level, so similar assets or liabilities could be partially accounted for using the historical cost method, while other similar assets or liabilities are accounted for using the fair value method. Changes in fair value are recorded through the income statement in subsequent periods. The statement provides for a one time opportunity to transfer existing assets and liabilities to fair value at the point of adoption with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded against equity. After adoption, the election to report assets or liabilities at fair value must be made at the point of their inception. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141 (SFAS 141R), “Business Combinations (Revised 2007),” was issued in December 2007 and replaces SFAS 141 which applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses.  SFAS 141R requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date.  Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.  This fair value approach replaces the cost allocation process required under SFAS 141 whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual asset acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  SFAS 141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
Under SFAS 141R, the requirements of SFAS 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting.  Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting.  Instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria under SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 141R to determine if it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 160 (SFAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No. 51,” was issued in December 2007 and establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as a minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements.  Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that are attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest.  SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 161 (SFAS 161), “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” was issued in March 2008 and amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.  SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
 
Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
General
 
The Company was organized in September 1998. On December 30, 1998, it acquired the common stock of Lincoln upon the conversion of Lincoln from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank. The Bank converted from a federal thrift charter to a state commercial bank charter on November 1, 2006.

 
14

 

 
Lincoln Bank was originally organized in 1884 as Ladoga Federal Savings and Loan Association, located in Ladoga, Indiana. In 1979 Ladoga Federal merged with Plainfield First Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federal savings and loan association located in Plainfield, Indiana, which was originally organized in 1896. Following the merger, the Bank changed its name to Lincoln Federal Savings and Loan Association and, in 1984, adopted the name, Lincoln Federal Savings Bank. On September 1, 2003, the Bank adopted the name Lincoln Bank. On August 2, 2004, the Company acquired First Shares Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of First Bank, an Indiana commercial Bank. First Shares was merged with and into the Company and immediately thereafter, First Bank was merged into Lincoln Bank. As noted above, the Bank converted from a federal thrift charter to a state commercial bank charter on November 1, 2006, and provides full banking services in a single significant business segment. As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Department of Financial Institutions, State of Indiana and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
Lincoln currently conducts its business from 17 full-service offices located in Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan, Clinton, Montgomery, and Brown Counties, Indiana, with its main office located in Plainfield. The Bank also has 2 loan production offices located in Carmel and Greenwood, Indiana. Lincoln offers a variety of lending, deposit and other financial services to its retail and commercial customers. The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and originating fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans secured by commercial real estate, inventory, accounts receivable as well as first mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential real estate. Lincoln’s deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Lincoln offers a number of financial services, which includes: (i) one-to-four-family residential real estate loans; (ii) commercial real estate loans; (iii) real estate construction loans; (iv) land loans; (v) multi-family residential loans; (vi) consumer loans, including home equity loans and automobile loans; (vii) commercial loans; (viii) money market demand accounts; (ix) savings accounts; (x) checking accounts; (xi) NOW accounts; (xii) certificates of deposit; and (xiii) financial planning.
 
Lincoln currently owns three subsidiaries. First, LF Service, whose assets consist of an investment in Bloomington Housing Associates, L.P. (“BHA”). BHA is an Indiana limited partnership that was organized to construct, own and operate a 130-unit apartment complex in Bloomington, Indiana (the “BHA Project”). Development of the BHA Project was completed in 1993 and the project is performing as planned. Second, Citizens Loan and Service Corporation (“CLSC”), which primarily engages in the purchase and development of tracts of undeveloped land. Because CLSC engages in activities that are not permissible for a national bank, FDIC regulations prohibit Lincoln from including its investment in CLSC in its calculation of regulatory capital. CLSC purchases undeveloped land, constructs improvements and infrastructure on the land, and then sells lots for residential home construction. Third, LF Portfolio, which is located in Nevada, holds and manages a significant portion of Lincoln’s investment portfolio. As noted above, effective November 1, 2006, the Bank changed its charter from a federal savings bank charter to an Indiana commercial bank charter. Unlike federal savings banks, commercial banks are not permitted to participate in real estate development joint ventures. Under terms of the approval granted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago the Company agreed to cause Lincoln Bank to conform the existing direct and indirect nonbanking activities and investments conducted by CLSC, including by divestiture if necessary, to the requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act within two years of the consummation of the charter conversion.
 
Lincoln’s results of operations depend primarily upon the level of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and costs incurred with respect to interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. Results of operations also depend upon the level of Lincoln’s non-interest income, including fee income and service charges and the level of its non-interest expenses, including general and administrative expenses.

As noted in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, because we focus our business in central Indiana, an economic slowdown in this area could hurt our business. An economic slowdown could have the following consequences:
     
 
·
Loan delinquencies may increase;
     
 
·
Problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
     
 
·
Demand for the products and services of Lincoln Bank may decline; and
 
 
·
Collateral for loans made by Lincoln Bank may decline in value, in turn reducing customers’ borrowing power, and making existing loans less secure.

The Company has not experienced many of the challenges facing the banking industry as a whole due in large part to its policy of not investing in sub-prime mortgage loans or any (so-called “off-balance sheet”) activity related to the structuring and sale of such loans.  As the economy worsens some of the Company’s customers will experience stress, in some cases severe enough to impact their ability to repay loans in a timely manner.  Our plan is to work closely with our customers to help them work through the stress if possible and, where necessary, to liquidate the credit.  Our policy of requiring prudent underwriting and the fact that Midwest property values have not been as severely impacted as other areas of the country should help mitigate the level of losses that the Company may incur. 
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies presented on pages 31 through 33 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and the valuation of intangible assets.
 
Allowance for loan losses
 
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolios. In determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses, management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and assessments.
 
The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes conservative, centralized credit policies, and uniform underwriting criteria for all loans as well as an overall credit limit for each customer below legal lending limits. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on a geographic, industry and customer level, regular credit quality reviews and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality. A standard credit scoring system is used to assess credit risks during the loan approval process of all consumer loans while commercial loans are individually reviewed by a credit analyst with formal presentations to the Bank’s Loan Committee.
 
The Company’s allowance consists of three components. The Company estimates probable losses from individual reviews of specific loans and probable losses from historical loss rates. Also, factors affecting probable losses resulting from economic or environmental factors that may not be captured in the first two components of the allowance are considered.
 
Larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Company. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan . Any allowances for impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
The Company evaluates the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for a loss accrual. Estimated loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific reserve allocations.
 
Homogenous loans, such as consumer installment and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk graded. Rather, standard credit scoring systems are used to assess credit risks. Loss rates are based on the average net charge-off estimated by loan category. Allowances on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions.

 
16

 

 
The Company’s primary market area for lending is central Indiana. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, consideration is given to this regional geographic concentration and the closely associated effect changing economic conditions have on the Company’s customers. The Company has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance.
 
Mortgage servicing rights
 
The Company recognizes the rights to service sold mortgage loans as separate assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The total cost of loans when sold is allocated between loans and mortgage servicing rights based on the relative fair values of each. Mortgage servicing rights are subsequently carried at the lower of the initial carrying value, adjusted for amortization, or fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights.
 
Factors included in the calculation of fair value of the mortgage servicing rights include, estimating the present value of future net cash flows, market loan prepayment speeds for similar loans, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors. Servicing rights are amortized over the estimated period of net servicing revenue. It is likely that these economic factors will change over the life of the mortgage servicing rights, resulting in different valuations of the mortgage servicing rights. The differing valuations will affect the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights on the consolidated balance sheet as well as the amounts recorded in the consolidated income statement. See Note 3 for a discussion of (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 14 0 .
 
Intangible assets
 
Management periodically assesses the impairment of its goodwill and the recoverability of its core deposit intangible. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. If actual external conditions and future operating results differ from management’s judgments, impairment and/or increased amortization charges may be necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the appropriate value.
 
 
Financial Condition
 
Assets totaled $864.4 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease from December 31, 2007 of $24.9 million.  The decrease in assets occurred in net loans including loans held for sale, down $9.6 million and investment securities available for sale, down $14.6 million.  Investments declined as several callable securities were called as interest rates declined. The proceeds of these securities were used to reduce higher cost borrowings and certificates of deposit.  The decline in loans occurred in real estate mortgages, down $8.8 million and consumer loans, down $4.7 million. We experienced growth of $5.3 million in commercial loans.   The increase in allowance for loan losses accounted for $1.4 million of the decline in net loans. Generally, the Bank continues to sell the majority of our residential mortgage loan production in the secondary market.
 
Total deposits were $637.3 million at March 31, 2008, a decline of $19.1 million since December 31, 2007.  Our public funds money market product balances declined by $29.4 million as year end balances in these accounts were distributed by the public fund entities. In addition, public fund certificates of deposit and consumer certificates declined slightly, by $2.6 million and $6.8 million respectively from December 31, 2007. These declines were partially offset by increases in our interest bearing demand products, up $7.3 million, our non-public funds money market accounts, up $5.2 million and our savings account products and other, up $6.1 million. Our growth in interest bearing demand continues as we introduced new products in combination with a direct mail and premium campaign.  Generally, this program has worked well in creating new relationships with the Bank. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $1.1 million from December 31, 2007 to $47.0 million at March 31, 2008. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase were $16.5 million and borrowings were $103.4 million at March 31, 2008. Both declined by $.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively, from year end 2007. The decline in borrowings was the result of repayment of short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances from cash as a result of securities maturities and calls.

 
17

 

 
Shareholders’ equity declined by $.5 million from $99.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $98.5 million at March 31, 2008.  The majority of the decline was the result of dividends paid out in excess of earnings. Accumulated other comprehensive loss worsened as unrealized losses on available securities increased. Management’s review of available-for-sale securities in a loss position determined that the impairments were not other-than-temporary impairment because the fluctuation in values was primarily the result of changes in interest rates.  As of March 31, 2008 management has both the ability and the intent to hold these securities until recovery.  Management does classify these securities as “available-for-sale” under the definition of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities so certain circumstances, such as changes in market interest rates and related changes in the security's prepayment risk, needs for liquidity (for example, due to the withdrawal of deposits, increased demand for loans), changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative investments or changes in funding sources and terms could change management’s assessment of its ability and intent to hold these securities.
 
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
 
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $181,000, or $.04 for both basic and diluted earnings per share. This compared to a net loss for the comparable period in 2007 of $425,000, or $.08 loss for basic and $.08 loss for diluted earnings per share.
 
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2008 was $5,838,000  compared to $5,361,000 for the same period in 2007. Net interest margin improved to 2.90% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to 2.60% for the same period in 2007. The average yield on earning assets declined only 20 basis points for the first quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 59 basis points in 2008 compared to 2007.  Interest rate spread increased from 2.14% for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 to 2.53% for the like quarter in 2008. Falling rates have allowed the Bank to benefit from a liability sensitive position.  In addition, a more “normal”, positively sloped yield curve has allowed the Bank to support slightly longer asset maturities with cheaper, somewhat shorter term, liabilities. Our deposit environment has been one where competition has kept certain types of interest bearing deposit account costs higher than wholesale funding that has been available.  We have deliberately reduced certain higher cost funding sources, primarily public fund certificates and certain single service customer certificate relationships in areas where competition seems irrational. As noted above, maturities of investments, a slight decline in loans and growth in certain other deposit categories has provided the funding for this strategy.
 
The Bank’s provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2008 was $1,507,000 million compared to $207,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in the provision expense was primarily the result of downgrades of over a dozen relationships totaling over $30 million. These loans were primarily development and commercial real estate loans affected by the downturn in the economy. The determination for these downgrades followed review of the borrower’s financial information. At this time, no charge-off’s are deemed necessary for these credits and certain of the credits are still performing. Non-performing loans to total loans at March 31, 2008 were 1.43% compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2007, while non-performing assets to total assets were 1.13% at March 31, 2008 compared to 0.95% at December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was 1.25% at March 31, 2008 and 1.02% at December 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank incurred $101,000 in net charged off loans compared to net charged off loans in the same quarter of 2007 totaling $107,000. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to absorb probable future losses inherent in the portfolio as of March 31, 2008, further deterioration in either the economy or our borrower’s individual financial condition may necessitate additional provision expense in the future.

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,946,000 compared to a loss of $180,000 for the same quarter of 2007 or an increase of $2,126,000.  The 2007 results were affected by a restructuring that began in March of 2007.  This restructuring resulted in certain mortgage loans and securities being transferred to loans held for sale and trading securities.  These transfers resulted in a mark to market charge to net realized and unrealized losses on loans held for sale of $1,327,000 for the mortgage loans and net realized and unrealized losses on sale of securities of $419,000 for the securities. Excluding these two charges noninterest income would have totaled $1,566,000 for the period ending March 31, 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts and point of sale income totaled $642,000 and $263,000, respectively for March 31, 2008. This resulted in increases of $100,000 and $69,000 respectively, when compared to the same period last year. As noted above, a new consumer marketing program was instituted in early 2007 resulting in additional transaction accounts that have increased these income sources.  Cash value of life insurance income was $203,000 for the first quarter of 2008. This was a decrease of $9,000 from 2007 to 2008 as a result of decreased yields on the variable rate policies. Excluding the losses associated with the restructuring net realized gains on loans held for sale would have totaled $321,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This compares to the first quarter of 2008 gains on sale of loans held for sale of $457,000, an increase of $136,000 or 42%.  This increase is the result of increased volume of loans sold as well as slightly improved pricing. There were no realized gains or losses on sale of securities for the first quarter of 2007 excluding the restructuring. The first quarter of 2008 gains on sales of securities totaled $70,000, which was primarily the result of called securities that had been carried at a discount.
 
Other expenses were $6,349,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $412,000 increase compared to $5,937,000 for the same three months of 2007.  The increase in salary and benefits of $258,000 to $3,354,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2007 to the three months ended March 31, 2008 included an increase in salaries of $171,000. This increase represented normal annual increases as well as the addition of several new positions in key areas, including Business Development, Brokerage, Mortgage Lending and Commercial Lending. Full-time equivalent employees were 239 for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 235 for the same quarter in 2007. Net occupancy expenses were $645,000 for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of $100,000 over the same three month period in 2007. Two new offices that were opened during 2007 and higher real estate taxes make up most of this increase.  Data processing fees totaled $665,000 for the first quarter of 2008 or $133,000 more than the same quarter in 2007 as a result of new services as well as additional activity relating to new deposit accounts opened. Advertising and business development expenses declined from $282,000 for the first quarter of 2007 to $229,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Much of this decline is due to the timing of certain campaigns as well as an increased focus on cost control in this area.  Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was a benefit of $254,000. This compares to a benefit of $539,000 for the period ended March 31, 2007. The difference between the actual rate recorded and the statutory rates was primarily due to permanent, non-taxable income recorded such as qualifying municipal interest and increases in cash value of life insurance.

Asset Quality
 
The Company currently classifies loans as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss to assist management in addressing collection risks and pursuant to regulatory requirements. Special mention loans represent credits that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or Lincoln’s credit position at some future date. Substandard loans represent credits characterized by the distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if deficiencies on the loans are not corrected. Doubtful loans possess the characteristics of substandard loans, but collection or liquidation in full is doubtful based upon existing facts, conditions and values. A loan classified as a loss is considered uncollectible. Lincoln had $22.5 million and $13.7 million of loans classified as special mention as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, Lincoln had $14.3 million and $8.5 million of loans classified as substandard at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Loans classified as doubtful totaled $.3 million at March 31, 2008 and $.7 million at December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 there were no loans classified as loss.  The increases in classified loans occurred after loan officers of the Bank reviewed annual financial statements of certain of its loan customers as they became available and determined that the customers’ financial condition had declined and warranted downgrades of the credits.  These loans were primarily development and commercial real estate loans affected by the downturn in the economy.  Loans that were downgraded totaled over $30 million and spanned over a dozen relationships.  Many of these loans are still performing. However, the downgraded credits affected the outcome of the Bank’s consistently applied methodology for determining loan loss allowances and resulted in a required increase to the allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming assets of the Bank increased only $1.3 million from December 31, 2007.
 
At March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, non-accrual loans were $8.8 million and $7.7 million respectively. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more totaled $280,000 and $192,000. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $8.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively or 1.25% of total loans including loans held for sale at March 31, 2008 and 1.02% at December 31, 2007.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans. In addition, securities maturities and amortization of mortgage-backed securities are structured to provide a source of liquidity. Sales of loans and available for sale securities can also provide liquidity should the need arise. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management strategy. In the event that the Company should require funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional funds are available through the use of FHLB advances, brokered deposits and federal funds purchased.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary bank 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, 2008, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The Company and Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios under the state charter are presented in the following table.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
An important component of Lincoln Bank’s asset/liability management policy includes examining the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities and monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on the economic value of its assets. An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If Lincoln Bank’s assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its liabilities, economic value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates, but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. Conversely, if Lincoln Bank’s assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, economic value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates.
 
The Bank’s board of directors has delegated responsibility for the day-to-day management of interest rate risk to the Asset/Liability (“ALCO”) Committee. The ALCO Committee meets monthly to manage and review Lincoln Bank’s assets and liabilities. The ALCO Committee reviews interest rates for deposits and loan product pricing. The committee considers the Bank’s interest rate risk position, liquidity needs and competitive pricing.
