ITEM 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

          On January 23, 2006, the Company issued a press release publicly announcing that “a classified borrower with outstanding loan balances of approximately $9 million notified the Company that it was experiencing further financial distress.”  Subsequent to that press release, the borrower requested a deferral of future principal and interest payments until such time as the borrower’s financial arrangements can be restructured, the borrower or certain of its assets sold or other arrangements for payment can be made.  Effective February 9, 2006, the Company placed all loans to this borrower on non-accrual and agreed, subject to an infusion of a specified amount of capital and certain other conditions, to defer all payments of principal and interest from this borrower until June 30, 2006.  On February 9, 2006, an outside investor contributed to Borrower the specified amount of additional capital in the form of debt subordinated to the Company’s loans. 

In the press release of January 23, 2006, the Company stated its belief that the allowance for loan losses was sufficient to cover the exposure of loss based on information available at that time.  In light of further information and developments since January 23rd, the Company anticipates that additional provisions for loan losses may be taken during the first quarter to provide for any estimated ultimate loss that could arise from this credit relationship as developments warrant.  Because this remains a dynamic situation, the Company’s management will continue to monitor this situation very closely.
