PART III — Narrative

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-Q or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Finalization of the Registrant’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 has been delayed as a result of the preparation of new disclosures requiring significantly more information about credit quality in the Registrant’s loan portfolio required by new FASB Accounting Pronouncement ASU No. 2010-20. In addition, the Registrant’s continued operating losses and decline in regulatory capital require the preparation of expanded disclosures regarding regulatory matters. Registrant anticipates filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K as soon after March 31, 2011 as is feasible and within the 15-day period from that date as provided by Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(Name)      (Area Code)    (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).    Yes  x    No  ¨

 

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    Yes  x    No  ¨

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Management expects net loss to be approximately $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to approximately $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The expected $3.0 million decrease in net loss in 2010 from the prior year is due to an expected $10.4 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, from $(10.1) million in 2009 to $0.3 million in 2010, offset in part by an expected $3.6 million increase in net noninterest expenses, from $4.8 million in 2009 to $8.4 million in 2010, and an expected $3.9 million increase in income taxes, from a $3.5 million benefit in 2009 to a $.4 million provision in 2010. The expected increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses in 2010 from 2009 is due to an expected $12.1 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, from $15.8 million in 2009 to $3.7 million in 2010, resulting from a slowdown of the decline in the credit quality of the loan portfolio in 2010, offset in part by an expected $1.7 million decline in the net interest income before provision for loan losses, due primarily to an increase in non-performing loans in 2010 from the prior year. The expected increase in net noninterest expenses in 2010 from the prior year is due primarily to a net $2.3 million expense associated with downsizing the Company in 2010, and an expected $1.6 million increase in professional fees, primarily for foreclosures, loan workouts and regulatory matters, and foreclosed real estate expenses, from $0.6 million in 2009 to $2.2 million in 2010.
