PORTER BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation  The consolidated financial statements include Porter Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank (the Bank). All significant
inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. A description of other significant accounting
policies is presented in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates  To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These
estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to
change.

Reclassifications  Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid
financial instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard was adopted on
January 1, 2007. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. It had no impact on the Companys financial statements.

The Company
has no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during 2007 relative to any tax positions taken prior to January 1, 2007. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized
tax benefits be necessary, it is the Companys policy to record such accruals in its income taxes accounts; no such accruals exist as of January 1, 2007. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return
and the Company files a return in the state of Kentucky. These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2003.

##### Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Forces (EITF) consensus on Issue 06-5,
Accounting for Purchases of Life InsuranceDetermining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance. FASB Technical Bulletin
No. 85-4 requires that assets such as bank owned life insurance be carried at their cash surrender value (CSV) or the amount that could be realized, with changes in CSV reported in earnings. Issue 06-5 requires that a policyholder consider any
additional amounts (e.g. claims stabilization reserves and deferred acquisition costs) included in the contractual terms of the policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. Certain life insurance contracts
provide the policyholder with an amount that, upon surrender, is greater if all individual policies are surrendered at the same time rather than if the policies were surrendered over a period of time. The Issue requires that policyholders determine
the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy. This Issue is effective for us beginning January 1, 2007. The Issue can be applied as either (a) a
change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. The adoption of
Issue 06-5 had no effect on the Companys financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued
Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the
assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not
completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard, however, management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of
Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants employment or retirement. The required
accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adoption of EITF 06-4, however, management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities. This Statement allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is
irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, the Statement specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, which is January 1, 2008 for us. Management has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of this standard.

Note 2  Stock Plans and Stock Based Compensation

At September 30, 2007, the Company has a stock option plan and a stock incentive plan. On December 31, 2005, the Company assumed the 2000 Stock Option Plan of
Ascencia Bank, Inc. when the Company acquired the minority interest of Ascencia Bancorp, Inc. On February 23, 2006, the Company adopted the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. With regard to the 2000 Option Plan, no additional
grants were made subsequent to year-end and none are expected to be made in the future. The 2006 Plan permits the issuance of up to 400,000 shares of the Companys common stock upon the exercise of stock options or upon the grant of stock
awards. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had granted outstanding options to purchase 193,612 shares under the 2000 option plan and 40,316 shares under the 2006 plan. The Company also had awarded under the 2006 plan 42,800 unvested shares
net of forfeitures and vesting. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had 316,884 shares available for issue under the 2006 plan. All shares issued under the above mentioned plans came from authorized and unissued shares.

On May 15, 2006, the board of directors approved the Porter Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Non-Employee Directors Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, which was approved by holders
of the Companys voting common stock on June 8, 2006. Under the terms of the plan, 100,000 shares are reserved for issuance to non-employee directors upon the exercise of stock options granted under the plan. Options granted are granted
automatically under the plan at fair market value on the date of grant, vest over a three-year period and have a five-year term. To date the Company has granted options to purchase 53,000 shares to non-employee directors. At September 30, 2007,
47,000 shares remained available for issue under this plan.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment. The Company elected to utilize the modified prospective transition method; therefore, prior period results were not restated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, stock-based
compensation expense related to stock options was not recognized in the results of operations if the exercise price was at least equal to the market value of the common stock on the grant date, in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to directors, employees, including grants
of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. Under the modified prospective method, unvested awards,
awards that were granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2006 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123R. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount
recognized.

All stock options have an exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of the Companys stock on the date the options
were granted. Options granted generally become fully exercisable at the end of 3 years of continued employment. Options granted under the 2000 plan have a life of 10 years while those granted under the 2006 plan have a life of 5 years.

The following table summarizes stock option activity:

The intrinsic value of stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the
market price of our common stock as of the reporting date. There were no options exercised during the first nine months of 2007. The Company recorded $92,000 of stock option compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to
salaries and employee benefits. Since the stock options are non-qualified stock options, a tax benefit of $32,000 was recognized. No options were modified during the period. As of September 30, 2007, no stock options issued by the Company have
been exercised.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model.
This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on volatilities of similar publicly traded companies due to the limited historical
trading activity of the Companys stock, and other factors. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of the Companys stock price at grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises within
the valuation model. 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 weighted-average assumptions used are summarized as follows:



|                                |  |   |           |  
|------------------------------- |  | - | --------- | -
|Risk-free interest rate         |  |   | 4.85      | %
|Expected option life            |  |   | 3.5 years |  
|Expected stock price volatility |  |   | 22.0      | %
|Expected dividend yield         |  |   | 3.6       | %
|Fair value                      |  | $ | 3.67      |  

From time-to-time the Company awards unvested shares to employees. The shares vest at a rate of 10% on each
one-year anniversary date of the grant date provided the employee is still employed by the Company at that date. The fair value on the date of grant ranged from $22.13 to $25.50 per share. The Company recorded $80,000 of stock-based compensation
during the first nine months of 2007 to salaries and employee benefits. A tax benefit of $28,000 was recognized related to this expense.

Securities pledged at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 had carrying values of approximately
$51,725,000 and $32,404,000, respectively, and were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The
Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the
fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery
in fair value. In analyzing an issuers financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of
reviews of the issuers financial condition.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company has 62 equity securities. Of these securities, ten had an
unrealized loss of $130,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and thirteen had an unrealized loss of $118,000 and had been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. Management monitors the
credit quality and current market pricing for these equity securities monthly. Management has made a practice of selling equity securities where recovery does not seem likely but does not have the present intent to sell securities with unrealized
losses. As of September 30, 2007, there are no securities management would classify as other than temporarily impaired.

Note 8  Subsequent Acquisition of Ohio County Bancshares, Inc.

On October 1, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Ohio County Bancshares, Inc. (OCB). Operating results of OCB will be included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to further improve its market share in the Bowling Green, Ohio County, and Owensboro markets, expand its
customer base to improve deposit fee income, provide an opportunity to market additional products and services to new customers, and reduce operating costs through economies of scale. The aggregate purchase price was $12.0 million.
Approximately $6.0 million was paid in cash and $6.0 million was paid through the issuance of the Companys common stock to OCB shareholders. The purchase price resulted in approximately $3.2 million in goodwill, and $3.5 million in core
deposit intangible.

Total assets of approximately $111.5 million were acquired, which includes approximately $84.0 million in loans, and $17.4 million in
investments. Liabilities assumed in the acquisition totaled approximately $106.2 million, which includes $94.4 million in deposits and $5.6 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Overview

Porter
Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIB) is a Louisville, Kentucky-based bank holding company which operates 13 full-service banking offices in ten counties through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PBI Bank. Our markets include metropolitan Louisville in Jefferson
County and the surrounding counties of Henry and Bullitt, and extend south along the Interstate 65 corridor to Tennessee. We serve south central and southern Kentucky from banking offices in Cumberland, Butler, Green, Hart, Edmonson, Warren and
Barren Counties. In June 2007, we expanded into central Kentucky by opening a loan production office in the states second largest city Lexington, in Fayette County. Our market area has experienced annual positive deposit growth rates in recent
years with the trend expected to continue for the next few years.

On October 1, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Ohio County Bancshares and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Kentucky Trust Bank. Kentucky Trust Bank operates six retail banking offices in three central Kentucky counties, including the Beaver Dam, Bowling Green, and Owensboro markets.

On October 25, 2007, we announced that PBI Bank had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Paramount Bank in Lexington, Kentucky. Paramount Bank is a division of
SCB Bank, the bank subsidiary of Blue River Bancshares, Inc. (OTC: BRBI) of Shelbyville, Indiana. Paramount has approximately $75 million in assets. The acquisition is valued at approximately $5 million and will be paid in cash. The proposed
acquisition is expected to close at the beginning of the first quarter of 2008.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively,
the Company reported net income of $3.3 million and $10.6 million. This compares to net income of $3.8 million and $10.6 million for the same periods of 2006. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.44 and $1.40 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared with $0.59 and $1.67 for the same periods of 2006. The reduction in earnings per share between periods is partially attributable to the issuance of 1,250,000 shares of common stock in
our initial public offering in September 2006.

Highlights for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 consist of the following:



| |  |  | Our earnings per share decreased 5 cents per share to 44 cents from the prior quarter due to robust loan growth with the intent to keep strong reserves. Earnings
for the quarter were impacted by 7 cents per share for additional loan loss provisioning. The loan loss provision rose to $1,500,000 for the third quarter of 2007 compared with $276,000 in the same quarter of 2006.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Net interest income increased 15.7% to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same quarter of 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Total assets increased 25.6% to $1.3 billion since the third quarter of 2006, fueled by strong growth in loans.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Loans grew 31.5% to $1.1 billion compared with the third quarter of 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Deposits grew 30.5% to $1.05 billion since the third quarter of 2006. The Banks core customer non-interest bearing deposit accounts increased from $59.8
million to $65.0 million, or 8.6%, during the first nine months of 2007.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The efficiency ratio for the third quarter was a strong 46.1%. The year-to-date ratio improved to 45.5% at September 30, 2007, from 47.1% at September 30,
2006.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2007, were 0.78%, a decline of 44 basis points since September 30, 2006 and 5 basis
points since June 30, 2007. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2007, were 1.42% of total loans, a decline of 6 basis points from September 30, 2006 and an increase of 27 basis points since June 30, 2007. The linked quarter
increases in non-performing assets were driven by the residential real estate market and consist primarily of one borrowing relationship. This relationship has been thoroughly analyzed and we believe we have established adequate reserves to account
for potential losses. The loans affiliated with this account are in other real estate and/or foreclosure status.

Net income of $3,299,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $510,000, or 13.4%, from
$3,809,000 for the comparable period of 2006. This decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to increased provision for loan losses and other non-interest expense, which was partially offset by increased net interest income. The increase in
net interest income was attributable to growth in our loan portfolio partially offset by the reduction in net interest margin reflecting the effect of a flat yield curve, Federal Reserve interest rate reductions, and the use of higher cost deposits
to fund our loan growth. Provision for loan losses increased $1.2 million, or 443.5%, compared with the third quarter of 2006 as a result of strong growth in our loan portfolio requiring a larger provision to remain consistent with historical
experience, and our current assessment of borrowers ability to repay, and our collateral positions related to impaired and non-performing loans.

Non-interest income decreased from the prior year due to decreased gain on sales of loans originated for sale, decreased gain on sales of government guaranteed loans, which reflects the cyclical nature of this type of income, and decreased
secondary market brokerage fees. These decreases were partially offset by increased service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-interest expense increased
from the prior year due to salary and employee benefits expense increasing $366,000, or 13.3%, from the prior year third quarter as a result of annual employee performance evaluation adjustments and planned staff increases related to our expansion
into new markets. We incurred expense related to other real estate owned of $226,000 during the third quarter of 2007 compared with $49,000 for the same

period of 2006. Loan collection expense was $98,000 for the current year third quarter compared to $7,000 for the third quarter of 2006. The increases in
OREO expenses and loan collection expenses are primarily attributable to our efforts to foreclose, complete construction, and sell single family homes connected to certain borrowing relationships with residential builders suffering from the recent
downturn in the housing market. We continue to monitor our portfolio very closely administering proactive collection efforts as prudently possible. FDIC insurance expense increased $59,000, or 355.1%, from the prior year third quarter as a result of
the impact of provisions of the FDIC reform act of 2005 taking effect during the quarter.

Net income of $10,589,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $53,000, or -0.5%, from
$10,642,000 for the comparable period of 2006. This decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to increased provision for loan losses, increased other non-interest expense, and lower non-interest income, which was partially offset by increased
net interest income. The increase in net interest income was attributable to growth in our loan portfolio partially offset by the reduction in net interest margin reflecting the effect of a flat yield curve, Federal Reserve interest rate reductions,
and the use of higher cost deposits to fund our loan growth. Provision for loan losses increased $1.8 million, or 174.5%, in comparison to the first nine months of 2006 as a result of strong growth in our loan portfolio, requiring a larger provision
to remain consistent with historical experience, and our current assessment of borrowers ability to repay and our collateral positions related to impaired and non-performing loans. Non-interest income decreased from the prior year due to
decreased gain on sales of loans originated for sale, decreased gain on sales of government guaranteed loans, which reflects the cyclical nature of this type of income, and decreased service charges on deposit accounts. Service charges on deposit
accounts decreased as a result of changes in product fee structures which we believe will make certain products more competitive, thereby increasing product sales over time.

While we recorded a gain of $284,000 from the sale of loans originated for sale in the first nine months of 2006, we had no revenue from this activity in the first nine months of 2007. This is the result of the
companys strategic decision during the latter portion of 2006 to migrate from higher-overhead residential secondary market correspondent lending to lower-overhead residential secondary market brokerage. We recorded brokerage revenue of
$232,000 during the first nine months of 2007 compared with $122,000 for the same period of 2006.

The increase in non-interest expense from the prior year
is primarily due to increased salary and employee benefits expense, and loan related expense. Salary and employee benefits expense increased $417,000, or 4.8%, from the first nine month of 2006 as a result of annual employee performance evaluation
adjustments and planned staff increases related to our expansion into new markets. We incurred expense related to other real estate owned of $327,000 during the first nine months of 2007 compared with $172,000 for the same period of

2006. Loan collection expense was $229,000 for the first nine months of 2007 compared to $36,000 for the same period of 2006. The increases in OREO expenses
and loan collection expenses are primarily attributable to our efforts to foreclose, complete construction, and sell single family homes connected to certain borrowing relationships with residential builders suffering from the recent downturn in the
housing market. We continue to monitor our portfolio very closely administering proactive collection efforts as prudently possible.

Net Interest
Income  Our net interest income was $10,736,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $1,457,000, or 15.7%, compared with $9,279,000 for the same period of 2006. Net interest spread and margin were 3.03%
and 3.60%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2007, compared with 3.47% and 3.95%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2006. Net interest income was $30,600,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $2,867,000, or
10.3%, compared with $27,733,000 for the same period of 2006. Net interest spread and margin were 3.13% and 3.73%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2007, compared with 3.56% and 4.00%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2006.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2007 declined to 3.60% compared with 3.95% for the third quarter of 2006. Our yield on earning assets
increased to 7.96% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 7.87% for the third quarter of 2006 while our cost of funds increased to 4.93% for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 4.40% for the third quarter of 2006. Net interest margin decreased
9 basis points from our margin of 3.69% in the second quarter of 2007. Our yield on earning assets remained unchanged from 7.96% earned during the second quarter of 2007 while our cost of funds increased 7 basis points from 4.86%. This was due in
part to our use of promotional pricing in our marketing efforts to attract premium customers in our new markets, Federal Reserve interest rate reductions, and the use of higher cost deposits to fund our loan growth.

Our average interest-earning assets were $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $936.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, an 18.2% increase primarily attributable to loan growth. Average loans were $962.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $807.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, a 19.3% increase. Our total interest income increased by 23.1% to $65.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $53.5 million for the same period of 2006. The change was due to a combination of higher interest
rates and higher loan volume.

Our average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 16.1% to $971.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, compared with $836.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our total interest expense increased by 36.8% to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $25.8 million during the same
period of 2006, due primarily to an increase in the volume of, and higher interest rates paid on, certificates of deposit and NOW and money market deposit accounts (MMDAs). Our average volume of certificates of deposit increased by 13% to
$713.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $631.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The average interest rate paid on certificates of deposits increased to 5.09% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, compared with 4.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our average volume of NOW and MMDAs increased by 69.6% to $141.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $83.6
million for the first nine month of 2006. The average rate paid on NOW and MMDAs increased to 3.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with 2.13% for the first nine months of 2006. The increase in cost of funds was the
result of the continued repricing of certificates of deposit at maturity at higher interest rates and increases in MMDA rates driven by increases in market rates and competition.

##### Table of Contents

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on
changes attributable to (1) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by old volume); (2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate); and (3) changes in rate-volume (change in rate multiplied by change in volume).
Changes in rate-volume are proportionately allocated between rate and volume variance.

Non-interest income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 decreased $11,000, or 0.8%, in comparison
with the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 non-interest income decreased by $223,000 to $3.8 million compared with $4.0 million for same period of 2006. The decrease in non-interest income for both the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was attributable to decreased income from secondary market residential lending operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 we also experienced a decrease in service charges on
deposit accounts. The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts was a result of changes in product fee structures that the Company believes will make certain products more competitive, thereby increasing product sales over time.

While we recorded a gain of $284,000 from the sale of loans originated for sale in the first nine months of 2006, we had no revenue from this activity in the same period
of 2007. This is the result of the companys strategic decision during the latter portion of 2006 to migrate from higher-overhead residential secondary market correspondent lending to lower-overhead residential secondary market brokerage. We
recorded brokerage revenue of $232,000 during the first nine months of 2007 compared with $122,000 for the same period of 2006. Based on current trends in residential lending and housing markets we believe our strategic decision will better position
us over the long-term in this business line.

We also experienced a decrease in gains on sales of government guaranteed loans, reflecting the cyclical
nature of originations and sales of this type of loan.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 increased $876,000, or 18.9%, compared
with the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, non-interest expense increased $656,000, or 4.4%, to $15.6 million compared with $14.9 million for the first nine months of 2006. The increase in non-interest expense
was primarily attributable to increased salary and employee benefits expense, state franchise tax expense, other real estate owned expense, and loan collection expense. These increases were partially offset by reduced occupancy and equipment,
professional fees, advertising and communications expenses. Salary and employee benefits expense increased as a result of annual employee performance evaluation adjustments and planned staff increases related to our expansion into new markets. We
incurred increases in other real estate owned expense of $155,000 and loan collection expense (included in Other) of $193,000 over the same nine month period of 2006. The increases in OREO expenses and loan collection expenses are primarily
attributable to our efforts to foreclose, complete construction, and sell single family homes connected to certain borrowing relationships with residential builders suffering from the recent downturn in the housing market. We continue to monitor our
portfolio very closely administering proactive collection efforts as prudently possible. Our diligent focus on expense control resulted in an improved efficiency ratio of 45.5% for the first nine months of 2007, compared with 47.1% for the same
period of 2006. Our efficiency ratio could increase modestly in future quarters as we make investments to grow into new markets.

Income Tax
ExpenseIncome tax expense was $1.7 million, or 34.2% of pre-tax income, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, and $5.4 million, or 33.7% of pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $1.9
million, or 32.8% of pre-tax income, for the third quarter of 2006, and $5.1 million, or 32.5% of pre-tax income, for the first nine months of 2006. The slight increase in effective tax rate is attributable to a modest decline in tax-exempt earning
assets as a percentage of total interest earning assets between periods.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets increased $204.1 million, or 19.4%, to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2007 from $1.05 billion at December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of $219 million in net loans from loan growth. In addition, securities available for sale increased $5.6 million during the first nine months of 2007. Total assets at September 30, 2007 increased $255.4 million from
$999.7 million at September 30, 2006, representing a 25.6% increase.

Loans ReceivableLoans receivable increased $220.7
million, or 25.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1.08 billion. Our commercial, commercial real estate, farmland, and real estate construction portfolios increased by an aggregate of $168.5 million, or 28.3%, during
the nine months and comprised 71.1% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 2007.

Non-Performing AssetsNon-performing assets consist of certain restructured loans for
which interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated, loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual, loans on which interest is no longer accrued, real estate acquired through foreclosure and repossessed assets.

The following table sets forth information with respect to non-performing assets as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007 were $8.4 million, or 0.78% of total loans, compared with $10.0
million, or 1.22% of total loans, at September 30, 2006, and $8.9 million, or 1.05% of total loans at December 31, 2006. The decrease of $575,000 in non-performing loans from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007 is primarily
attributable to our collection efforts via foreclosure and collateral repossession.

Foreclosed properties at September 30, 2007 were $6.9 million compared with $2.1 million at September 30, 2006,
and $2.4 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in foreclosed properties reflects the normal progression of troubled loans through workout, collateral repossession, and ultimate disposition. We value foreclosed properties at fair value when
acquired and expect to liquidate these properties to recover our investment in the due course of business.

Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses is based on managements continuing review and risk evaluation of individual loans, loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various categories of loans and such other
factors that, in managements judgment, require current recognition in estimating loan losses.

Management has established loan grading procedures
that result in specific allowance allocations for any estimated inherent risk of loss. For loans not individually graded, a general allowance allocation is computed using factors developed over time based on actual loss experience. The specific and
general allocations plus consideration of qualitative factors represent managements best estimate of probable losses contained in the loan portfolio at the evaluation date. Although the allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific and
general allocations, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.

Our loan loss reserve as a percentage of total loans at
September 30, 2007 decreased to 1.35% from 1.55% at September 30, 2006 and 1.50% at December 31, 2006. Provision for loan losses increased $1.2 million to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of
2006. Provision for loan losses increased $1.8 million to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $1.0 million for the same nine month period of 2006. The loan loss provision for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, was increased largely due to the robust growth in the loan portfolio and to remain consistent with historical loan loss experience. Net loan charge-offs were $479,000 for third quarter of 2007 compared with $232,000 for the
same period of 2006. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $1.2 million, or 0.12% of average loans, compared with $571,000, or 0.07%, for the first nine months of 2006.

An analysis of changes in allowance for loan losses and selected ratios for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 follows:

LiabilitiesTotal liabilities at September 30, 2007 were $1.1 billion compared to
$942.7 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $198.2 million, or 21%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits of $184.9 million, or 21.5%, at September 30, 2007 to $1.05 billion from $861.9 million at
December 31, 2006, primarily due to an increase in both time deposits and transactional accounts from promotional efforts throughout the period. The core customer non-interest bearing deposit account growth of $5.1 million during the first nine
months of 2007 is attributable to our new deposit growth focus which includes new incentives for our employees and product improvements.

Liquidity

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments, or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure that
the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as our operating cash needs, are met, taking into account all on- and off-balance sheet funding demands. Liquidity risk management also includes ensuring cash flow needs are met at a
reasonable cost. We maintain an investment and funds management policy, which identifies the primary sources of liquidity, establishes procedures for monitoring and measuring liquidity, and establishes minimum liquidity requirements in compliance
with regulatory guidance. The liquidity position is continually monitored and reviewed by our Asset Liability Committee.

Funds are available from a number
of sources, including the sale of securities in the available-for-sale portion of the investment portfolio, principal pay-downs on loans and mortgage-backed securities, brokered deposits and other wholesale funding. During 2006 and the first nine
months of 2007, PBI Bank utilized brokered and wholesale deposits to supplement its funding strategy. At September 30, 2007, these deposits totaled $740,000. PBI Bank also secured federal funds borrowing lines from major correspondent banks
totaling $21.0 million on an unsecured basis and an additional $15.0 million on a secured basis.

Traditionally, PBI Bank has utilized borrowings from the
FHLB to supplement our funding requirements. At September 30, 2007, the Bank had an unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $118.2 million. Management believes our sources of liquidity are adequate to meet expected cash needs for the
foreseeable future.

We use cash to pay dividends on common stock, if and when declared by the board of directors, and to service debt. The main sources of
funding include dividends paid by PBI Bank, management fees received from PBI Bank and affiliated banks and financing obtained in the capital markets.

Capital

Stockholders equity increased $5.9 million to $114.2 million at September 30, 2007 compared with $108.3 million at
December 31, 2006. The increase was due to net income of $10.6 million earned during the first nine months of 2007 reduced by $4.6 million in dividends declared. The Company and the Bank qualified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines
at September 30, 2007.

Each of the federal bank regulatory agencies has established minimum leverage capital requirements for banking organizations.
Banking organizations must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets equal to 3% to 5% subject to federal bank regulatory evaluation of an organizations overall safety and soundness.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Companys interest sensitivity profile was
asset sensitive at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006. Given an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in rates that was sustained for 12 months, base net interest income would decrease by an estimated 6.1% at September 30,
2007 compared with a decrease of 6.3% at December 31, 2006. Given a 100 basis point increase in interest rates, base net interest income would increase by an estimated 5.8% at September 30, 2007, compared with an increase of 5.4% at
December 31, 2006.

The following table indicates the estimated impact on net interest income under various interest rate scenarios for the twelve
months following September 30, 2007, as calculated using the static shock model approach:
