expense increased by $237,000 from $2.1 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2007 to $2.3 million for the three months ended

million at March 31, 2008 compared to $239.8 at December 31, 2007.
Funding for the growth in total assets was provided by a $4.6

31, 2007. Demand deposits increased 5.0% to $72.9 million at March

on the first quarter 2008 results, Harold Keen, President and CEO,
stated, �Early in January when the Federal Reserve reduced rates
twice, we knew there would be challenges this year. We feel we have
positioned ourselves strategically to lessen our sensitivity to
market rate pressures. We are pleased to state at this time we have

do not have any exposure to sub prime loans. Overall, we believe
that 2008 will be a stable year for our Company.� In addition to
