    ITEM 1A.
    RISK
    FACTORS.  The
    current economic environment poses significant challenges for
    the Company and could adversely affect its financial condition
    and results of operations.
    
    Economic conditions that negatively affect housing prices and
    the job market have resulted, and may continue to result, in a
    deterioration in credit quality of the Companys loan
    portfolios, and such deterioration in credit quality has had,
    and could continue to have, a negative impact on the
    Companys business.
    Market developments may affect consumer confidence levels and
    may cause adverse changes in payment patterns, causing increases
    in delinquencies and default rates on loans and other credit
    facilities.
    The processes the Company uses to estimate allowance for loan
    losses and reserves may no longer be reliable because they rely
    on complex judgments, including forecasts of economic
    conditions, which may no longer be capable of accurate
    estimation.
    The Companys ability to assess the creditworthiness of its
    customers may be impaired if the models and approaches it uses
    to select, manage, and underwrite its customers become less
    predictive of future charge-offs.
    The Company expects to face increased regulation of its
    industry, and compliance with such regulation may increase our
    costs, limit our ability to pursue business opportunities, and
    increase compliance challenges.    The
    Company and its subsidiary business are subject to interest rate
    risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect its
    financial performance.

The
    Banks ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory
    limitations which, to the extent the Company requires such
    dividends in the future, may affect the Companys ability
    to pay its obligations and pay dividends.
    The
    Company is subject to restrictions on its ability to declare or
    pay dividends and repurchase its shares as a result of its
    participation in the Treasurys TARP Capital Purchase
    Program.

##### Table of Contents



The
    Companys business is subject to various lending and other
    economic risks that could adversely impact the Companys
    results of operations and financial condition.
    
    loan delinquencies may increase;
    problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
    demand for the Companys products and services may
    decline; and
    collateral for loans made by the Company may decline in value,
    in turn reducing a clients borrowing power, and reducing
    the value of assets and collateral associated with the
    Companys loans held for investment.  The
    declining real estate market could impact the Companys
    business.
    The
    Companys level of credit risk is increasing due to its
    focus on commercial lending, and the concentration on small
    businesses and middle market customers with heightened
    vulnerability to economic conditions.
    The
    Bank may suffer losses in its loan portfolio despite its
    underwriting practices.

The
    Company and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation
    which could adversely affect them.
  and/or and/or
      The
    Company faces strong competition from other financial
    institutions, financial service companies and other
    organizations offering services similar to those offered by the
    Company and its subsidiaries, which could hurt the
    Companys business.
