Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2010

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial information included for Touchmark Bancshares, Inc. herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Touchmark Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “ours”), a Georgia corporation, was established on April 3, 2007 for the purpose of organizing and managing Touchmark National Bank (the “Bank”). The Company is a one-bank holding company with respect to its subsidiary, Touchmark National Bank. The Bank is a national bank, which began operations on January 28, 2008, headquartered in Fulton County, Georgia with the purpose of providing community banking services to Gwinnett, Dekalb, north Fulton and south Forsyth counties and surrounding areas in Georgia.

Basis of Accounting: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the

Table of Contents

financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity and net loss. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting by recognizing revenues when they are earned and expenses in the period incurred, without regard to the time of receipt or payment of cash.

Allowance for Loan Losses : Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. The Company’s allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Due to our limited operating history, the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending relationships are of very recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process known as seasoning. As a result, a portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. Because our loan portfolio is new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off.

The process of reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses requires management to make numerous judgments and assumptions about current events and subjective judgments, including the likelihood of loan repayment, risk evaluation, actual loan losses and the extrapolation of historical losses of similar banks, and other qualitative factors. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, charge-offs in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses.

Stock Based Compensation: The Company has adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 718, Stock Compensation . Upon issuance of the Director and Organizer warrants, compensation cost was recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for all share-based payments granted, based on the grant date fair value as estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, which requires recognition of expense equal to the fair value of the warrant over the vesting period of the warrant.

The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions listed in the table below. Expected volatility for the period has been determined by a combination of a calculated value based on expected volatility of similar entities. The expected term of warrants granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that the warrants granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Company’s stock at grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to the warrants of $17,800 and $17,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At June 30, 2010, there was $20,767 of unrecognized compensation cost related to warrants, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.58 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2010 was approximately 7.5 years. The Company had 462,500 warrants exercisable as of June 30, 2010.

Through June 30, 2010, the Company issued 149,822 options to purchase common stock to employees of the Company or the Bank and the Company issued 10,000 options to purchase common stock to a director. No options were issued during the first six months of 2010. Upon issuance of options, compensation cost was recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for all options granted, based on the grant date fair value as estimated in accordance

Table of Contents

with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, which requires recognition of expense equal to the fair value of the option over the vesting period of the option.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions listed in the table below. Expected volatility for the period has been determined by a combination of a calculated value based on expected volatility of similar entities. The expected term of options granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Company’s stock price at grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the options of $103,274 and $70,410 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At June 30, 2010, there was $229,172 of unrecognized compensation cost related to options outstanding, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.04 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding as of June 30, 2010 was approximately 8.02 years. The Company had 75,881 options exercisable as of June 30, 2010.

Income Taxes: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities, and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income (in the near-term based on current projections), and tax planning strategies.

The following summarizes the components of deferred taxes at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Statement of Cash Flows: The statement of cash flows was prepared using the indirect method. Under this method, net loss was reconciled to net cash flows provided (used) by operating activities by adjusting for the effects of operating activities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption “cash and due from banks.” Cash flows from deposits, federal funds purchased and sold, secured borrowings, and originations, renewals and extensions of loans are reported net.

For the purpose of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.

At June 30, 2010, nine debt securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.47% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Although some of the issuers have shown declines in earnings and/or a weakened financial condition as a result of the weakened economy, no credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

Municipal bonds. The Company’s unrealized loss on one investment in a municipal bond relates to interest rate increases. The Company currently does not believe it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investments. Because the Company does not plan to sell the investments, and because it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its par value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

Mortgage-backed securities GSE residential. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in two residential GSE mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has no plans to sell the investments, and because it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

Corporate bonds . The Company’s unrealized losses on six corporate bonds relates to interest rate increases. The Company currently does not believe it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investments. Because the Company does not plan to sell the investments, and because it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its par value, which may be maturity, it does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under

Table of Contents

existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

FASB ASC 820-10 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. The investments in the Company’s portfolio are generally not quoted on an exchange but are actively traded in the secondary institutional markets.

The derivative instrument held by the Company is reported at fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. The valuation of this instrument is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual term of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate options are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the floor (cap) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Loans held-for-sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is currently based on the purchase price of the loan held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale are evaluated on an on-going basis by monitoring what secondary markets are offering for loans and portfolios with similar characteristics.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of recurring fair value measurements recognized in the accompanying balance sheet using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, in accordance with the provisions of the loan impairment guidance (FASB ASC 310-10-35), individual loans with a carrying amount, of $5,897,235, were considered impaired after partial charge-offs of $752,125. Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may include real estate, or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on an appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. The value of business equipment is based on an appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company if significant, or the equipment’s net book value on the business’ financial statements. Inventory and accounts receivable collateral are valued based on independent field examiner review or aging reports. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Impaired loans are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions that were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments are disclosed herein:

Cash, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits with other banks. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of instruments.

Investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity . Fair values for securities, excluding restricted stock, are based predominately on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments.

Restricted stock. The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Fair value is currently based on what secondary markets are offering for loans and portfolios with similar characteristics.

Loans receivable. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit liabilities. The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, secured borrowings and other borrowings. Fair values of fixed rate FHLB advances and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of

Table of Contents

borrowing arrangements. The carrying values of variable rate FHLB advances, secured borrowings and other borrowings approximate fair value.

Accrued interest. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Derivative instruments. The fair values of these instruments are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

Off-balance-sheet instruments. Fair values for off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on the current carrying value and adjusted, if appropriate, for material changes in pricing currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Remaining terms of the agreements and counterparties’ credit standings are taken into account when making this evaluation.

The Company’s carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands) were as follows:

	June 30, 2010				December 31, 2009

5. LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and potential common shares. Potential common shares consist of stock options and warrants. Weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 3,465,391 and 3,470,391, respectively. Basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $(0.08) and $(0.22), respectively. Basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $(0.06) and $(0.37). Diluted loss per share is not presented for June 30, 2010 and 2009, as the net loss would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT

During September 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate corridor transaction. An interest rate corridor is composed of a long interest rate cap position and a short interest rate cap position. The buyer of the corridor purchases a cap with a lower strike while selling a second cap with a higher strike. The premium earned on the second cap then reduces the cost of the structure as a whole. The buyer of the corridor is then protected from rates rising above the first cap’s strike, but exposed again if they rise past the second cap’s strike.

This series of transactions consists of purchasing an interest rate cap at 0.75% based on the 1 month LIBOR rate. Additionally, the Company sold an interest rate cap with the strike at 2.50% based on the 1 month LIBOR rate. Each of these transactions are forward start transactions with an effective date of July 1, 2010 and a termination date of July 1, 2013. The notional amount for each is $10,000,000. The interest rate corridor transaction is considered a stand alone derivative instrument, and as such will be recorded in the financial statements at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net loss. Additionally, this transaction has a net settlement feature, and the effects of the net settlement will be included in interest income or expense as appropriate. The fair values as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were $131,193 and $281,599, respectively, and were included in other assets.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2010, the President and CEO, and the CFO of the Company and the Bank resigned. Separation payments of $184,000 related to these resignations will be accrued in the third quarter of 2010. Also in July 2010, the Company entered into employment agreements with a new President and CEO and a new CFO.

8. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“ASC No. 2010-09”). ASU No. 2010-09 removes some contradictions between the requirements of GAAP and the filing rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). SEC filers are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and they are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance was effective upon issuance except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors, and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging: Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives (“ASU No. 2010-11”) . ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements, by resolving a potential ambiguity about the breadth of the embedded credit derivative scope exception with regard to some types of contracts, such as collateralized debt obligations (“CDO’s”) and synthetic CDO’s. The scope exception will no longer apply to some contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative feature that transfers credit risk. The ASU is effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2010, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-13, Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (“ASU No. 2010-13”). ASU No. 2010-13 clarifies that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of an entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as

Table of Contents

equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-18, Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset (“ASU No. 2010-18”). ASU No. 2010-18 provides guidance on the accounting for loan modifications when the loan is part of a pool of loans accounted for as a single asset such as acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition that are accounted for under the guidance in ASC 310-30. ASU No. 2010-18 addresses diversity in practice on whether a loan that is part of a pool of loans accounted for as a single asset should be removed from that pool upon a modification that would constitute a troubled debt restructuring or remain in the pool after modification. ASU No. 2010-18 clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under ASC 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if the expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments in this update do not require any additional disclosures and are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under ASC 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. ASU 2010-18 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU No. 2010-20”). ASU No. 2010-20 requires disclosures regarding loans and the allowance for loan losses that are disaggregated by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. Existing disclosures were amended to require a roll forward of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, with the ending balance broken out by basis of impairment method, as well as the recorded investment in the respective loans. Nonaccrual and impaired loans by class must also be shown. ASU No. 2010-20 also requires disclosures regarding: 1) credit quality indicators by class, 2) aging of past due loans by class, 3) troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by class and their effect on the allowance for loan losses, 4) defaults on TDRs by class and their effect on the allowance for loan losses, and 5) significant purchases and sales of loans disaggregated by portfolio segment. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, for end of period type disclosures. Activity related disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. ASU No. 2010-20 will have an impact on the Company’s disclosures, but not its financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion reviews our results of operations and assesses our financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The commentary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of forward-looking statements, the consolidated financial statements, and the related notes and the other statistical information included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

DISCUSSION OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains “forward-looking statements” relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. The words “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” and “believe,” as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and our operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our filings with the SEC, including, without limitation:

·	significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking and financial services industries;

·	changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce anticipated or actual margins;

·	changes in political conditions or the legislative or regulatory environment;

·	general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally and especially in our primary service area, becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;

·	changes occurring in business conditions and inflation;

·	changes in technology;

·	the level of our allowance for loan losses and the lack of seasoning of our loan portfolio;

·	the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs;

·	the rates of loan growth;

·	changes in monetary and tax policies;

·	loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions resulting from terrorist activities;

·	changes in the securities markets; and

·	other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Company Overview

The following report describes our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and also analyzes our financial condition as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Like most community banks, we expect to derive most of our income from interest that we receive on our loans and investments. As we grow, our primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is our deposits, on the majority of which we pay interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of our success is our level of net interest income, which is the difference between the income on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the spread between the yield we earn on interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on interest-bearing liabilities. As we increase the size of our balance sheet, our net interest income will increase until revenue exceeds cash and non-cash expenses. At that point the bank will operate profitably.

Table of Contents

There are risks inherent in all loans, so we maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. We establish and maintain this allowance by charging a provision for loan losses against our earnings. We have included a detailed discussion of this process.

In addition to earning interest on our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other charges to our customers. We have also included a discussion of the various components of this noninterest income, as well as of our noninterest expense.

Industry Overview

The first six months of 2010 continue to reflect the tumultuous economic conditions which have negatively impacted liquidity and credit quality. Concerns regarding increased credit losses from the weakening economy have negatively affected capital and earnings of many financial institutions. Financial institutions have experienced significant declines in the value of collateral for real estate loans and serious deterioration in the credit quality of their loan portfolios. These factors have resulted in record levels of non-performing assets, charge-offs and foreclosures. The State of Georgia and the Atlanta metropolitan area in particular have gained the unfortunate distinction of experiencing among the highest incidences of bank closures nationwide since the onset of the 2007 financial crisis.

Due to credit quality concerns, liquidity in the debt markets remains low in spite of enormous efforts by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“Federal Reserve”) to inject capital into financial institutions. The federal funds rate set by the Federal Reserve has remained at historically low levels since December 2008, following a decline from 4.25% to 0.25% during 2008 through a series of seven rate reductions.

Treasury, the FDIC and other governmental agencies continue to evolve rules and regulations to implement the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), the Financial Stability Plan, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) and related economic recovery programs, many of which curtail the activities of financial institutions. During 2009, we declined to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program as we felt that our capital levels were substantial and precluded the need for us to expose ourselves to additional regulatory controls.

Difficult economic conditions are expected to prevail through the latter part of 2010. Reduced levels of commercial activity will continue to challenge prospects for stable balance sheet growth and earning asset yields at a time when the market for profitable commercial banking relationships is intensely competitive. As a result, financial institutions in general will continue to experience pressure on earning asset yields, funding costs, operating expenses, liquidity and capital.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

We incurred a net loss of $271,477 and $761,755 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we realized $1,778,428 in interest income, consisting primarily of $1,137,829 from loan activities and $640,599 from investment activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we realized $1,033,255 in interest income, consisting primarily of $593,876 from loan activities and $439,379 from investment activities. The provision for loan loss was $540,654 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and $600,185 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. We anticipate the growth in loans in future quarters will drive the growth in assets and the growth in interest income. The primary sources of funding for our loan portfolio are deposits and Federal Home Loan advances. We incurred interest expense of $500,494 related to deposit accounts, $69,939 related to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $1,976 related to other borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred interest expense of $304,237 related to deposit accounts, $69,939 of interest expense related to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $243 related to other borrowings.

We incurred non-interest expenses of $1,455,673 and $1,159,457 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is

Table of Contents

$673,931 in salaries and employee benefits, $181,239 of occupancy and equipment expenses, and $600,503 in other expense. The primary components in the other operating expense category for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $177,092 in professional fees, $84,852 in data processing and IT related services, and $49,881 in loan collection expenses.

The non-interest expense incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,159,457. Included in non-interest expense was $677,310 in salaries and employee benefits, $156,253 of occupancy and equipment expenses, and $325,894 in other operating expenses.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

We incurred a net loss of $191,866 and $1,301,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we realized $3,446,773 in interest income, consisting primarily of $2,264,677 from loan revenue and $1,182,096 from investment revenue. Additionally, $381,883 of non-interest income was recognized from the gain on sale of investment securities, $418,103 was recognized from the sale of loans held for sale, and $169,340 was recognized from the gain on sale of SBA loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we realized $1,977,054 in interest income consisting primarily of $1,123,941 from loan activities and $853,113 from investment activities. Over time, we anticipate that loan revenue will comprise an increasing share of total revenue. Since we commenced business in January 2008, the agency and investment grade debt markets have provided opportunities for superior risk-adjusted returns. As such, we have invested in these markets along with our primary mission of investing in commercial-grade loans. Our ability to develop an income stream and recognize securities gains in recent periods has served to offset overhead costs associated with being a de novo financial institution, while we build our balance sheet to a level of profitability.

Our provision for loan loss amounted to $738,010 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and $703,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The company increased its allowance levels during the second quarter in conjunction with certain classified loans identified in the portfolio. Year to date, the Company recognized approximately $100,000 in net charge-offs.

We incurred interest expense of $942,884 related to deposit accounts, $139,801 related to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $10,077 related to other borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred interest expense of $614,712 related to deposit accounts, $139,801 of interest expense related to Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $492 related to other borrowings.

We incurred non-interest expenses of $2,840,214 and $2,292,213 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Included in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is $1,403,406 in salaries and employee benefits, $366,243 of occupancy and equipment expenses, and $1,070,565 in other operating expense. The primary components in the other operating expense category for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $246,407 in professional fees, $161,239 in data processing and IT related services, and $100,370 in loan collection expenses.

The non-interest expense incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2,292,213. Included in non-interest expense was $1,366,582 in salaries and employee benefits, $307,806 of occupancy and equipment expenses, and $617,825 in other operating expenses. The primary components of other operating expenses included $79,351 in legal fees, $108,309 in data processing and IT related services, and $83,179 in advertising and marketing expense.

The following tables calculate the net yield on earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net yield on earning assets amounted to 3.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which represents an increase of 54 basis points from the first six months 2009. The increase is due primarily to the Bank’s ability to grow the balance sheet while driving down its cost of funds.

At June 30, 2010, we had total assets of $157,007,811, consisting principally of $79,552,923 in net loans, $52,438,697 in securities available for sale, $10,638,051 in securities held to maturity, $1,492,943 in interest-bearing accounts with other banks, and $2,901,271 in premises and equipment. Total assets increased $27,745,336 since December 31, 2009 when we had total assets of $129,262,475. Assets at December 31, 2009 consisted of cash and deposits due from banks of $1,695,884, interest-bearing accounts with other banks of $3,073,627, securities available for sale of $43,230,785, securities held to maturity of $4,619,299, premises and equipment of $3,043,646, net loans of $66,609,313 and accrued interest receivables of $543,334, restricted stock of $1,365,750 and other assets of $839,402. Liabilities at June 30, 2010 totaled $128,414,065 consisting principally of $113,937,646 in deposits, $11,400,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and $2,839,497 in secured borrowings. Liabilities increased $27,784,832 from

Table of Contents

December 31, 2009. Our liabilities at December 31, 2009 were $100,629,233 and consisted of deposits of $76,043,674, FHLB advances of $11,400,000 and other borrowings of $12,525,000. At June 30, 2010, shareholders’ equity was $28,670,767. Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2009 was $28,633,242.

Investments

At June 30, 2010, the carrying value of our securities and restricted stock amounted to $64,582,448. This included $11,213,066 in mortgage backed securities, $22,167,617 in corporate bonds, and $19,058,014 in government agencies, $10,638,051 in municipals and $1,505,700 in restricted equity securities. The restricted equity securities are comprised of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and the Independent Bankers Bank of Florida. The increase in securities and restricted stock was $15,366,614 from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010. As of December 31, 2009, the carrying value of our securities and restricted stock amounted to $49,215,834. Our available for sale portfolio is continuously managed to provide revenue and adequate liquidity, and to minimize interest rate risk. These portfolio management activities resulted in restructuring and significantly shortening the contractual maturities of the portfolio during the second quarter of 2010.

Loans

Since loans typically provide higher interest yields than other types of interest earning assets, we intend to invest a substantial percentage of our earning assets in our loan portfolio. At June 30, 2010, our loan portfolio consisted of $17,451,182 of construction and land development loans, $54,661,156 in other real estate loans, $1,749,334 in consumer loans, $7,619,154 in commercial and industrial loans, and $166,350 in other loans. The Bank had $5,897,235 in four nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2010. Additionally, the Bank has had net charge-offs of $99,929 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Total loans less allowance for loan losses increased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $12,943,610 or 19.4%, to $79,552,923 at June 30, 2010 from $66,609,313 at December 31, 2009. We had no loans more than 90 days past due that were still accruing interest and we had no troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2010. Total non-performing loans at June 30, 2010 amounted to $6,690,032 of which $792,797 are loans purchased with intent to resell and are characterized as loans held for sale on our balance sheet. Included in non-performing loans at June 30, 2010 are $5,897,235 of impaired loans, which are comprised of four loans concentrated in two borrowing relationships. Total non-performing loans at December 31, 2009 amounted to $6,981,410 of which $1,084,175 were loans purchased with intent to resell.

The following table summarizes average loan balances for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 determined using the daily average balance, changes in the allowance for loan losses and the ratio of net charge-offs to period average loans.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

We have established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged to expense on our consolidated statement of operations. The allowance for loan losses was $2,083,603 as of June 30, 2010, an increase of $638,081 from December 31, 2009 when the allowance for loan losses was $1,445,522. Our allowance for loan loss amounted to 2.55% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2010 and 2.08% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan loss as a percentage of the total portfolio has risen due to increased reserve levels across various loan types in our portfolio. As a result of our analysis of credit and lending conditions during the first half of 2010, we increased reserve levels across several categories of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions regarding current portfolio and economic conditions, which we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Over time, we will periodically determine the amount of the allowance based on our consideration of several factors, including an ongoing review of the quality, mix and size of our overall loan portfolio, our historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions and other qualitative factors, specific problem loans and commitments that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. Following is a category detail of our allowance percentage and reserve balance by loan type at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable time frame.

Total Allowance for Loan Loss	$	2,083,603	2.55	%	1,445,522	2.08	%

Periodically, we will adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances. We will charge recognized losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period.

Deposits

Our primary source of funds for loans and securities are customer deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At June 30, 2010, we had $113,937,646 in deposits which consisted primarily of $5,044,722 in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, $67,827,386 in time deposits, and $41,065,538 of other interest bearing accounts. Deposits increased $37,893,972 from December 31, 2009 when deposits were

$76,043,674 consisting primarily of $3,489,983 in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, $45,134,483 in time deposits, and $27,419,208 of other interest bearing accounts.

Secured Borrowings

Secured borrowings are derived from the transfer of financial assets, specifically SBA loans sold to third parties. These liabilities present short-term credit risk as they are related to corresponding loans receivable pending final sales treatment. At June 30, 2010 the outstanding balances of loans related to these secured borrowings were $2,939,903.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. For an operating bank, liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and investment activities, as well as to maintain sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating obligations. Liquidity management involves monitoring our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash flow requirements, while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, borrowings, scheduled repayments on our loans, and interest on and maturities of our securities. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary investments and the generation of deposits. Occasionally, we might sell securities in connection with the management of our interest sensitivity gap or to manage cash availability. We may also utilize our cash and due from banks, security repurchase agreements, and federal funds sold to meet liquidity requirements as needed. In addition, we have the ability, on a short-term basis, to purchase federal funds from other financial institutions. As of June 30, 2010, our primary source of liquidity included our securities portfolio, lines of credit available with correspondent banks totaling $20,600,000, and a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. We believe our liquidity levels are adequate to meet our operating needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through the operations of the Bank, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of our business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At June 30, 2010, we had issued commitments to extend credit of approximately $12,759,079 through various types of lending arrangements. Commitments to extend credit were $10,869,171 at December 31, 2009. We evaluate each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and commercial and residential real estate. We manage the credit risk on these commitments by subjecting them to normal underwriting and risk management processes.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity increased from $28.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $28.7 million at June 30, 2010. This increase was the result of stock compensation of approximately $121,000 increasing surplus and an increase in unrealized gains during the period of $31,000, offset by net loss of $115,000.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative

Table of Contents

measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Regardless, the Bank is “well capitalized” under these minimum capital requirements as set per bank regulatory agencies.

Under the capital adequacy guidelines, regulatory capital is classified into two tiers. These guidelines require an institution to maintain a certain level of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital to risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, minus certain intangible assets. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100% based on the risks believed to be inherent in the type of asset. Tier 2 capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the reserve for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. We are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total average assets, which is known as the Tier 1 leverage ratio.

At the bank level, we are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. To be considered “adequately capitalized” under these capital guidelines, we must maintain a minimum total risk-based capital of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier 1 capital. In addition, we must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%. To be considered “well-capitalized,” we must maintain total risk-based capital of at least 10%, Tier 1 capital of at least 6%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%. For the first years of operation, during the Bank’s “de novo” period, the Bank will be required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8%. The Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2010, as well as the ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”

The following table sets forth the Bank’s various capital ratios at June 30, 2010.

	Bank
Total risk-based capital	20.56	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	19.30	%
Leverage capital	15.69	%

We believe that our capital is sufficient to fund the activities of the Bank and the rate of asset growth will not negatively impact the capital base. As of June 30, 2010, there were no significant firm commitments outstanding for capital expenditures.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements.

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that may have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses . We believe that the determination of the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Refer to section “Allowance for Loan Losses” in this report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed description of the methodology related to the allowance for loan losses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as of June 30, 2010 from that presented under the heading “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” and the Market Risk in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2010. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
