# NOTE 1  BASIS OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the instructions to
Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements are not included herein. The interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of Clarkston Financial Corporation (the
Corporation) and the notes thereto included in the Corporations annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.

All adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, have been made.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2005.

Certain amounts in prior
periods financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
periods presentation.

# NOTE 2  PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION

The Corporation is a Michigan
Corporation and the holding company for Clarkston State Bank (CSB) and Huron Valley State
Bank (HVSB). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary Clarkston State Bank and its majority owned
subsidiary Huron Valley State Bank. All significant intercompany transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.

The Corporation also owns all of the
common stock of Clarkston Capital Trust I. This is a grantor trust that issued trust
preferred securities and is not consolidated with the Company per FASB Interpretation No.
46.

# NOTE 3  STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION

The Corporation applies the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation,
accounting for all employee stock option grants using the intrinsic value method.
Disclosure of proforma net income and earnings per share amounts as if the fair
value-based method has been applied in measuring compensation costs is provided below.

The Corporation has two stock-based
compensation plans. Under the employees Stock Compensation Plan (Employee
Plan), the Corporation may grant options or issue restricted stock to key employees
for up to 21,495 shares of common stock. Under the 1998 Founding Directors Stock Option
Plan (Director Plan), the Corporation may grant options for up to 72,693
shares of common stock. Under both plans, there is a minimum vesting period of between one
to three years before the options may be exercised, and all options expire 10 years after
the date of their grant. Certain options (contingent options) under both plans vest on an
accelerated basis upon the achievement of various future financial and operational goals.
All such options vest 9.5 years after the date of grant regardless of achievement of
future goals. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price
of the Corporations common stock on the date of grant.

# NOTE 3  STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

The Corporation has adopted the
disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, but applies the intrinsic value method to account for its plan. The
Corporation has estimated fair market value of the options granted in 2000 at $2.34 per
share, using a minimum value concept. The value was calculated using an
assumed interest rate of 6.5 percent and estimated life of five years.

Shares of restricted stock issued to
employees were valued at the market price of the stock at the award date. Compensation
expense is being recognized over the three year vesting period for the restricted stock.

# NOTE 4  EARNINGS
PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents
income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had
been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed
issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Corporation relate solely to
outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share have been computed
based on the following: (in dollars in thousands)

collateralized by qualifying investments securities with estimated market values of
$12,921,000 and $14,127,000 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The advances are
due in full at maturity and the fixed rate advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if
repaid prior to maturity.

# NOTE 9  MINIMUM
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Banks and bank holding companies are
subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.
Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for Banks, prompt corrective action
regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts
and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to
meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The prompt corrective action
regulations provide five classifications, well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized and critical undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to
represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is
required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are
limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.
The Banks and the Corporation were well-capitalized as of September 30, 2005 and December
31, 2004.

# NOTE 10  STANDBY
AND COMMERCIAL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

The Corporation is a party to credit-related
financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit, commercial and standby letters of credit, and unfunded commitments under
lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Corporations exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of
these commitments. The Corporation follows the same credit policies in making commitments
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2005 and December
31, 2004, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts
represent credit risk (dollars in thousands):

# NOTE 11  RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In
May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This Statement replaces APB
Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3,
Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154
carries forward the guidance contained in Opinion 20 for reporting the correction of an
error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate.
However, SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. Under this Statement, every voluntary change in accounting
principle requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements,
unless it is impracticable. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific
transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those
provisions should be followed. This Statement is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005,
although earlier application is permitted for changes and corrections made in fiscal years
beginning after June 1, 2005. The Corporation expects no significant effect on its
financial statements as a result of the adoption of this Statement.

# Item 2

# MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIALCONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis discusses
changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation for the
periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the Corporations
Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this
document.

Forward Looking
Statements

This
report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. The Corporation intends such forward-looking statements to be covered
by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe
harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and
describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Corporation, are generally
identifiable by use of the words believe, expect,
intend, anticipate, estimate, project or
similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans
or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect
on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in:
interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and
fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the
Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our
market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue
reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information about us and our
business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results,
is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

Clarkston
Financial Corporation (the Corporation) is a Michigan corporation incorporated
on May 18, 1998. The Corporation is the bank holding company for Clarkston State Bank
(CSB) and Huron Valley State Bank (HVSB) (collectively the
Banks). CSB commenced operations on January 4, 1999, and HVSB commenced
operations on August 15, 2005. The Banks are chartered by the State of Michigan with
depository accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. They provide a
full range of commercial and consumer banking services, primarily in Clarkston and
Milford, Michigan and the surrounding market area primarily located in north Oakland
County, Michigan. Together, the banks operate eight customer service locations including
six full service branches.

Critical Accounting
Policies

The
Corporations critical accounting policies are described in the financial section of
our 2004 annual report. Management believes our critical accounting policies relate to the
allowance for loan losses, income taxes and stock based compensation.

Comparison of
Financial Condition at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004

Our
total assets increased by $24.9 million or 15.2% to $188.3 million at September 30, 2005,
from $163.4 million at December 31, 2004. The continued growth is attributable to ongoing
marketing efforts for deposits and an increase in lending relationships. These efforts
were bolstered in the 3rd quarter by the opening of Huron Valley State Bank. We
anticipate that our assets will continue to grow during 2005.

---



Cash
and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold and short-term investments,
increased $6.8 million or 174.4% to $10.7 million at September 30, 2005 from $3.9 million
at December 31, 2004. The increase is due primarily to increased deposits, which funds
have not yet been reinvested in loans or investment securities. These funds are
anticipated to be placed in higher-yielding investments and loans in the coming quarters.

Securities
decreased $1.3 million or 2.9% to $43.1 million at September 30, 2005 from $44.4 million
at December 31, 2004. Total securites have increased from the prior quarter by $5.7
million, or 15.2%. This increase is due in large part to the investment of HVSBs
initial capital, but is also indicative of a difficult lending climate in the Banks
primary market areas. The Corporation continues to have excellent liquidity and will
monitor its level of securities to ensure proper liquidity is maintained.

Total
portfolio loans increased by $19.1 million or 17.1% to $130.6 million at September 30,
2005 from $111.5 million at December 31, 2004. This growth rate is lower than our business
plan and a similar, or slightly slower rate is expected to continue throughout 2005. This
reduced growth rate is largely due to competitive market pressures and a difficult
economic climate in Michigan. Approximately $2.7 million of the growth was from Huron
Valley State Bank. Total loan growth continues to be driven by the commercial real estate
and construction portfolios which increased $4.9 million, or 8.5% and $10.8 million, or
69.7%, respectively over the balances at December 31, 2005. Commercial and industrial
loans saw a slight increase of $500,000, or 2.2% over the first nine months of the year.
The residential real estate portfolio also contributed positively showing a 24.2%, or $3.1
million increase over December 31, 2004. There was a slight decrease in consumer loans
over December 31, 2004. We continue to focus on commercial lending as evidenced by the
fact that commercial and construction loans make up 85.8% of the loan portfolio, with
residential loans making up 12.2% and consumer loans 2.0%.

Nonperforming
assets have increased markedly from December 31, 2004. The nonperforming loan balances are
the result of 3 commercial relationships. Management only anticipates losses on one of
these relationships, with this amount being 100% reserved for in the current quarter. A
contract employee has been added at the affiliate to work through the existing watch
credits and review the remainder of the portfolio for any other asset quality issues. In
addition, a new senior lender was added who has a strong credit background and is
currently in the process of implementing new and more rigorous credit procedures along
with revising the credit policy. Management believes that these issues are isolated and
that the credit quality of the portfolio as a whole remains strong.

The
allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2005 was $1.9 million representing
approximately 1.45% of total loans outstanding, compared to $1.3 million, or 1.15% of
loans outstanding as of December 31, 2004. The Bank had three charge-offs in the quarter
totaling approximately $535,000, and a large specific reserve of $625,000 was required on
one other commercial relationship. In the 1st nine months of the year total charge-offs
were $665,000. The large specific reserve is 100% of the balance of the relationship,
therefore, no additional reserves against this credit are expected. The combination of the
charged off credits, the large specific reserve and deteriorating economic conditions in
the local marketplace necessitated the additional provision for loan loss and elevated
allowance balance. We believe that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover
losses inherent in the portfolio.

The
loan loss allowance represents managements assessment of both current and future
losses inherent within the loan portfolio. Consideration is also given to off-balance
sheet items that may involve credit risk, such as commitments to extend credit. This
analysis is conducted on a quarterly basis utilizing a methodology that has been employed
since our inception. The methodology employed utilizes several factors to determine the
appropriateness of the allowance. Specifically, historical loss experience, financial
condition of borrowers, collateral adequacy, credit risk rating system and current
economic conditions are incorporated in this analysis.

The
primary risk element considered by management regarding each installment and residential
real estate loan is the lack of timely payments. We have a reporting system that monitors
past due loans and have adopted policies to pursue our creditors rights in order to
preserve our position. The primary risk elements concerning commercial loans are the
financial condition of the borrower, the sufficiency of the collateral and lack of timely
payment. Management has a policy of requesting and reviewing annual financial statements
from its commercial loan customers and periodically reviews the existence and value of
collateral for selected loans.

The
adequacy of the allowance is based on the application of our credit risk rating system
which identifies problem credits and ranks loans by specific categories. Moreover, we use
peer comparisons and industry data for similar type loans to further assess the proper
level of the loan loss allowance. Going forward, we will closely monitor the performance
of the loan portfolio as it becomes more seasoned.

Total
premises and equipment increased $500,000, or 20.8% to $2.9 million at September 30, 2005
from $2.4 million at December 31, 2004. This increase is due largely to the equipment and
leasehold improvements utilized by Huron Valley State Bank and the mortgage operation.

Other
assets increased $300,000, or 37.5% to $1.1 million at September 30, 2005 from $800,000 at
December 31, 2004. The primary cause of this increase is repossessed assets valued at
$268,000. Management anticipates that these assets will be disposed of via sale by
December 2005.

Total
deposit balances increased $23.9 million or 17.9% to $157.2 million at September 30, 2005
from $133.3 million at December 31, 2004. The largest increase in terms of percentage was
seen in the money market portfolio which increased 29.1%, or $14.5 million since December
31, 2004. Time deposits have shown a healthy $8.8 million, or 17.7% increase over December
31, 2004. Growth in non-interest bearing checking account balances has also been strong in
the current year, with totals increasing $2.9 million, or 14.6%. Our continued focus on
commercial accounts resulted in 120 new non-interest bearing accounts during the
3rd quarter. We anticipate that as these new accounts grow into full
relationships they will contribute further to our deposit growth. Our new branch in the
Clarkston Business District has been a large contributor to the growth in non-time
deposits. Currently the new branch has approximately $9.3 million in non-time deposits as
of September 30, 2005, compared to $500,000 at December 31, 2004. We anticipate that the
opening of Huron Valley State Bank will add to the growth in both total and non-time
deposits in the 4th quarter and beyond.

CSB
is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, and utilizes advances from this
institution to bolster liquidity. At September 30, 2005, we have $7.2 million in advances
outstanding, a decrease of $5.0 million from December 31, 2004. Excess liquidity in the
current quarter allowed us to pay down this variable rate advance. The Corporation
continues to view the FHLB as a source of liquidity and may borrow additional funds as
market conditions dictate.

We
have no other off-balance sheet liabilities other than commitments to extend credit in the
form of letters and lines of credit.

As
of September 30, 2005, we had retained earnings of $3.2 million compared to $3.6 million
at December 31, 2004 which was a result of net loss of $391,000. Accumulated other
comprehensive income saw a decrease of $181,000, or 75.1%. This decrease was primarily the
result of changes in interest rates causing a decrease in the market value of the
Corporations security portfolio. We do not believe that the value of any of the
securities in the portfolio are permanently impaired. Common stock and paid-in capital saw
increases of $1.8 million each, which resulted primarily from the Corporations
rights offering which was completed during the quarter. Managements focus on strong
expense discipline and increases in the net interest margin, due to increases in
underlying rates and changes in the asset mix, continues to enhance profitability,
notwithstanding the large provisions for loan losses.

Comparison of Operating Results
for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

Our
net loss was $685,000, or ($0.57) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2005 compared
to net profit of $316,000, or $0.30 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2004. The
net loss was due to a large provision for loan loss and increased operating expenses and
offset by increases in net interest income and non interest income. Operating results
related to Huron Valley State Bank and our entrance into the mortgage business decreased
net income $186,900, or $0.16 per diluted share and $81,500, or $0.07 per diluted share,
respectively in the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Steps have been taken in regard to
the mortgage banking operation to substantially reduce operating costs, and management
does not anticipate that the mortgage banking operation will negatively influence
operating results in 2006. The losses since the opening of Huron Valley State Bank have
been in line with the initial projections.

Net
interest income increased 15.4% or $210,000 from $1.32 million in the third quarter of
2004 to $1.53 million for 2005. The primary contributor to the increase was elevated
balances in earning assets, which increased by 21.3% to $182 million at September 30, 2005
from $150 million at December 31, 2004. This effectively added $423,000 to the margin.
Increasing rates reduced net interest income by $213,000, as the cost of funds increased
113 basis points, while the yield on earning assets only increased by 69 basis points. A
new, more flexible pricing structure was put in place on money market accounts subsequent
to the end of the quarter which should significantly reduce interest expense on these
accounts, while remaining competitive in the marketplace. Also positively affecting the
margin was the aforementioned increase in non-interest bearing deposits. The net interest
margin decreased from 3.52% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 compared to 3.36% for
the same period in 2005, mostly as a result of the inflated money market cost.

The
provision for loan loss for the third quarter of 2005 was $908,000, compared to $110,000
for the 3rd quarter of 2004. As discussed in more detail above, the large provision for
the quarter was due to deteriorating economic conditions and the indirect effects of the
charge-offs on the allowance calculation, along with the large specific reserve noted in
the balance sheet discussion. Management believes the current rate of providing for the
loan loss reserve is adequate.

Non-interest
income increased $23,000, or 12.3% for the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same
period in 2004. The largest portion of the change in non-interest income was due to losses
on the sale of securities in the 3rd quarter of 2004. Fees on deposit accounts increased
$11,000, or 6.7% over the same quarter in the prior year. The Corporations focus on
checking accounts and the implementation of a bounce protection product in the fourth
quarter of 2004 continues to increase these fees.

Non-interest
expense was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2005, a $585,000 or 60.6% increase over
the third quarter of 2004 when non-interest expense was $964,000. The increase is
primarily attributable to higher salary and benefit costs of $219,000, or 46.3% due to the
increase in full time equivalents needed to manage the growth of the Corporation.
Occupancy expense has increased $84,000, or 67.2% as a result of the two new ventures
discussed above and also due to the new full service branch which opened for business in
the fourth quarter of 2004. Professional fees are 53.6%, or $45,000 higher than the same
period last year, mostly due to legal costs related to the start-up of Huron Valley State
Bank. Advertising expense is elevated from the 3rdquarter of 2004 due to the
opening of the new Bank and various marketing programs related to the mortgage operation.
As Huron Valley State Bank and the mortgage operation gain critical mass, we anticipate
our efficiency ratio to improve to the levels more common throughout our history. The
ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased to 85.90% from 64.05% at
September 30, 2004.

Comparison of
Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

Our
net loss was $390,000, or $0.35 per diluted share year to date 2005 compared to net profit
of $950,000, or $0.89 per diluted share for the same period in 2004. The net loss was due
to a large provision for loan loss and increased operating expenses and offset by
increases in net interest income and non interest income. Operating results related to
Huron Valley State Bank and our entrance into the mortgage business decreased net income
$403,700, or $0.36 per diluted share and $244,000, or $0.22 per diluted share,
respectively in the 9 months ended September 30, 2005. Steps have been taken in regard to
the mortgage banking operation to substantially reduce operating costs, and management
does not anticipate that the mortgage banking operation will negatively influence
operating results in 2006. The losses since the opening of Huron Valley State Bank have
been in line with the initial projections.

Net
interest income increased 18.4% or $700,000 from $3.8 million year to date 2004 to $4.5
million for 2005. Higher balances in total earning assets, which increased 23.76% to
$174.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $141.0 million for the
same period in 2004, effectively increased the interest margin by $2.0 million year over
year. This increase was offset by compression of the interest margin, which fell to 3.47%
from 3.57%. The decreased margin was due to liabilities repricing faster than assets. The
cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 85 basis points over this period, while the
yield on earning assets increased by only 57 basis points. Continued growth in
non-interest bearing accounts mitigated some of this effect. The money market pricing
structure was the largest contributor to the reduced margin. A new, more flexible pricing
structure was put in place on money market accounts subsequent to the end of the quarter
which should significantly reduce interest expense on these accounts, while remaining
competitive in the marketplace.

The
provision for loan loss year to date at September 30, 2005 was $1.3 million, a 44.4%
increase over the $900,000 posted for the same period in 2004. As discussed in more detail
above, the large provision year to date was due to deteriorating economic conditions and
the indirect effects of the charge-offs on the allowance calculation, along with the large
specific reserve noted in the balance sheet discussion. Management believes the current
rate of providing for the loan loss reserve is adequate.

Non-interest
income was $707,000 year to date 2005, a $237,000, or 50.4% increase over the same period
in 2004 when non-interest income was $470,000. The largest portion of the increase in
non-interest income was seen in service charges and other fee income, which increased
$161,000, or 37.8% over the same period last year. The Corporations continued focus
on checking accounts and the implementation of a bounce protection product increased these
fees significantly.

Non-interest
expense was $4.2 million year to date 2005, a $1.5 million or 55.6% increase over the same
period in 2004 when non-interest expense was $2.7 million. The increase is primarily
attributable to higher salary and benefit costs of $853,000, or 62.5% due to the increase
in full time equivalents needed to manage the growth of the Corporation, primarily to
staff the new ventures. Occupancy expense has increased $238,000, or 67.0%, as a result of
the two new ventures discussed above and also due to the new full service branch which
opened for business late in the fourth quarter of 2004. Professional fees are 32.6%, or
$73,000 higher than the same period last year, mostly due to legal costs related to the
start-up of Huron Valley State Bank. Advertising expense is elevated from the
3rd quarter of 2004 due to the opening of the new Bank and various marketing
programs related to the mortgage operation. As Huron Valley State Bank and the mortgage
operation gain critical mass, we anticipate our efficiency ratio to improve to the levels
more common throughout our history. The ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2005
increased to 80.8% from 64.5% at September 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

The
Corporation obtained its initial equity capital in an initial public offering of its
common stock in November 1998. We have successfully grown through our first five years of
operation. In December 2003, we completed an offering of $4.0 million of cumulative
preferred securities (Trust Preferred Securities) to further support the
Corporations growth.

In
July 2005, the Corporation completed a rights offering which allowed each holder of the
Corporations common stock as of the June 6, 2005 record date to purchase 1
additional share of common stock for every 4 shares held, while also offering an
opportunity to purchase a limited number of shares above their basic subscription right
(the over-subscription privilege). A total of 165,776 shares were purchased in the rights
offering (63.2% of the 262,192 shares offered). Of the 165,776 shares purchased, 127,183
shares were basic subscriptions and 38,593 shares were over-subscriptions. The Corporation
received approximately $2,856,000 in net proceeds in connection with the rights offering,
which was used to purchase a majority interest in Huron Valley State Bank.

Also
in July 2005, 28,000 shares were sold to one investor through the community offering
provisions of the rights offering. These shares were sold at $18.00, netting the
corporation $504,000.

Management
believes that its current capital will provide us with adequate capital to support our
expected level of deposit and loan growth and to otherwise meet our capital requirements
for the next year. One of the growth strategies we intend to pursue, which could have an
effect on our equity and or require additional capital, is growth through acquisition or
the start up of additional DeNovo banks.

The
liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to provide funds to meet loan
requests, to accommodate possible outflows of deposits and to take advantage of interest
rate market opportunities. Our sources of liquidity include our borrowing capacity with
the Federal Home Loan Bank, loan payments by our borrowers, maturity and sales of our
securities available for sale, growth of our deposits and deposit equivalents and various
capital resources. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow
requirements of our customers. Our customers may be either borrowers with credit needs or
depositors wanting to withdraw funds. We believe our liquidity position is sufficient to
meet these needs.

As indicated by the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the 9 months ended September 30, 2005, deposits continue to be
the primary source of funding for loan growth with an increase of $24.0 million, in cash
flows from deposits over the same period last year. In addition, equity and minority
interest have provided $6.9 million year to date. These funds were deployed primarily into
loans and used to pay off debt, where the cash outflows were $19.7 million and $5.0
million, respectively. We anticipate that future loan growth will be funded primarily with
deposit growth, and secondarily with other wholesale sources of funding, not through the
liquidation of the security portfolio.

# Item 3 CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES

| | (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporations
               Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the
               effectiveness of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures (as
               defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the
               period covered by this Form 10-QSB Quarterly Report, have concluded that the
               Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and
               effective to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation would
               be made known to them by others within the Corporation, particularly during the
               period in which this Form 10-QSB Quarterly Report was being prepared.

| | (b) | Changes in Internal Controls. During the period covered by this report,
               there have been no changes in the Corporations internal control over
               financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
               materially affect the Corporations internal control over financial
               reporting.
