See notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. 5 IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: Iowa First Bancshares Corp. (the "Company") is a bank holding company headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa. The Company owns the outstanding stock of two national banks, First National Bank of Muscatine (Muscatine) and First National Bank in Fairfield (Fairfield). First National Bank of Muscatine has a total of six locations in Muscatine, Iowa. First National Bank in Fairfield has two locations in Fairfield, Iowa. Each bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides full service banking to individuals and businesses, including checking, savings, money market and time deposit accounts, commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, safe deposit facilities, transmitting of funds, trust services, and such other banking services as are usual and customary for commercial banks. Some of these other services include sweep accounts, lock-box deposits, debit cards, credit-related insurance, internet banking, automated teller machines, telephone banking and investment services through a third-party arrangement. The Company also owns the outstanding stock of Iowa First Capital Trust I, which was capitalized in March 2001 for the purpose of issuing Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities. Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, except Iowa First Capital Trust I, which does not meet the criteria for consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified, with no effect on net income or stockholders' equity, to conform to current year presentations. Note 2. Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share Common shares and preferred stock authorized total 6,000,000 shares and 500,000 shares, respectively. Basic earnings per share is arrived at by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is arrived at by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the respective period. The average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 1,382,669. The average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was 1,413,594. There were no common stock equivalents in 2005 or 2004. Note 3. Commitments and Contingencies The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk made in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. 6 Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: March 31, 2005 December 31, 2004 ----------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit ........... $40,417,000 $40,467,000 Standby letters of credit .............. 1,152,000 1,121,000 The commitments to extend credit above are net of participations sold to other banks. Total participations sold to other banks related to the commitments to extend credit were $10,189,000 and $18,143,000 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and some of the commitments will be sold to other financial intermediaries if drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, generally, have terms of one year, or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Banks hold collateral, which may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing properties, supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Banks would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Banks could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Banks would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Banks' potential obligations under these guarantees. The Company also executed contracts for the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market in the amount of $67,000 and $434,000 as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. These amounts are classified as loans held for sale and are included in loans at the respective balance sheet dates. Results of Operations: Quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared with quarter ended March 31, 2004: The Company recorded net income of $766,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared with net income of $823,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $57,000 or 6.9%. This decrease in net income primarily resulted from increased operating expenses and charge-off of a portion of a credit relationship at our Fairfield bank and the associated replenishment of the allowance for loan losses. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.55 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, $.03 or 5.2% less than the same period in 2004. The Company's annualized return on average assets for the first quarter of 2005 was .82% compared to .89% during the first quarter of the prior year. The Company's annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was 12.0% and 13.0%, respectively. 7 The distribution of average assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity and interest rates, as well as interest differential was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands and income and rates on fully taxable equivalent basis using statutory tax rates in effect for the year presented): Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 March 31, 2004 -------------------------------- ------------------------------ Average Average Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate ----------------------------------------------------------------- Assets Taxable loans, net .................................. $273,487 $ 4,170 6.10% $261,603 $ 4,073 6.23% Taxable investment securities available for sale .... 20,442 154 3.01 20,040 201 4.01 Nontaxable investment securities and loans .......... 18,790 323 6.88 18,848 324 6.88 Federal funds sold .................................. 25,075 148 2.36 37,318 82 0.88 Restricted investment securities .................... 2,676 24 3.59 3,002 11 1.47 Interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions ...................................... 7,795 60 3.08 7,538 42 2.23 -------------------- ------------------- Total interest-earning assets .................. 348,265 4,879 5.60% 348,349 4,733 5.43% -------- -------- Cash and due from banks ............................. 15,664 14,255 Bank premises and equipment, net .................... 7,337 6,745 Life insurance contracts ............................ 4,465 4,281 Other assets ........................................ 3,036 2,934 -------- -------- Total .......................................... $378,767 $376,564 ======== ======== Liabilities Deposits: Interest-bearing demand ........................... $129,110 $ 352 1.10% $126,074 $ 178 0.57% Time .............................................. 109,135 776 2.88 110,039 800 2.95 Note payable ........................................ 2,100 23 4.41 2,760 23 3.33 Other borrowings .................................... 51,753 546 4.28 57,087 669 4.75 Junior subordinated debentures ...................... 4,125 106 10.32 4,125 106 10.32 -------------------- ------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities ............. 296,223 1,803 2.47% 300,085 1,776 2.40% -------- -------- Noninterest-bearing deposits ........................ 51,057 45,884 Other liabilities ................................... 2,044 1,902 -------- -------- Total liabilities .............................. 349,324 347,871 Redeemable common stock held by KSOP ................ 3,574 3,065 Stockholders' Equity ................................ 25,869 25,628 -------- -------- Total .......................................... $378,767 $376,564 ======== ======== Net interest earnings ............................... $ 3,076 $ 2,957 ======== ======== Net Interest Margin (net interest earnings divided by total interest-earning assets) ................. 3.53% 3.40% ====== ======

Nonaccruing loans are included in the average balance of loans. Loan fees are not material. 8 The net interest margin increased to 3.53% during the first quarter of 2005 compared to 3.40% during the first quarter of 2004. The return on average interest-earning assets increased 17 basis points (from 5.43% in 2004 to 5.60% in 2005) while interest paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased only 7 basis points (from 2.40% in 2004 to 2.47% in 2005). The Federal Reserve Bank Board increased interest rates five times during the last seven months of 2004 and twice more the first three months of 2005. The prime lending rate which was 4.00% at the beginning of 2004 had increased to 5.75% by March 31, 2005. Over the past few years, a period of historically low interest rates, the Company has emphasized the utilization of interest rate floors on selected commercial and agricultural loans. During 2004 most, if not all, of such loans subject to interest rate floors were actually paying the floor rate. This resulted in the rates received on taxable loans during all of 2004 falling slightly less than the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (38 basis points and 42 basis points, respectively). As market interest rates have risen, rates received on taxable loans have decreased thirteen basis points while rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities have increased seven basis points when comparing the first quarter of 2005 with 2004. This result occurs due, in large measure, to the loans which are subject to floor rate pricing lagging market interest rate increases until such time as the floor rate has been exceeded and the loan repricing date met. Additionally, the mix of loans comprising the taxable loan portfolio, and pricing of new loan volume compared to existing loan rates, impact the overall yield earned. The extent of these impacts in the future will depend upon, among other things, the amount and timing of future market interest rate hikes and competitive pressures. Rates received on taxable investment securities available for sale have decreased during the first quarter of 2005, compared to the first quarter of 2004, by 100 basis points. Over the same time period, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased seven basis points. This was largely due to maturities and early calls of taxable investment securities coupled with reinvestment at appreciably lower interest rates. This portfolio, however, with an average maturity of only approximately two years may be able to reprice higher if market interest rates remain at their current level or experience further increases. Rates received during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, versus the same quarter of 2004, on nontaxable investment securities available for sale and loans remained unchanged while rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased seven basis points. Most of the nontaxable investment securities available for sale were purchased when market interest rates were higher than rates currently available, despite recent interest rate hikes. In the current interest rate environment, when nontaxable investment securities mature or are sold, called, or otherwise paid down, the reinvestment rate available is frequently lower than the yield of the liquidating security. The rate received on overnight federal funds sold to other banks increased 148 basis points during the first quarter of 2005, compared to the same quarter of 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to the monetary policy shift of the Federal Reserve Bank which has caused overnight federal funds rates to significantly rise. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, average federal funds sold to total average assets had been reduced to 6.6% from 9.9% during the same quarter in 2004. These federal funds sold can be used to fund future loan demand, deposit or other liability outflows, investment securities purchases, or various other purposes as identified by management. The rate earned on interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions (primarily FDIC insured certificates of deposit) increased 85 basis points during the first quarter of 2005 versus the same quarter of 2004, while the average balance decreased $257,000. This asset category yielded 72 basis points over federal funds sold with little, if any, credit risk. The average duration of interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions was less than two years during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. During this period of rising market interest rates, the rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits rose 53 basis points. In contrast, the rates paid on time deposits were actually reduced seven basis points when comparing the first quarters of 2005 and 2004 as time deposits tend to reprice higher at a slower pace than interest-bearing demand deposits due to their longer maturities. 9 The rate paid on the note payable outstanding increased 108 basis points during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter last year. This was the result of seven increases during the last seven months of 2004 and first three months of 2005 in the prime lending rate to which the note payable rate is tied. The usage of wholesale funding sources (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances), while mitigating intermediate and long-term interest rate risk, tended to represent a relatively higher cost of funds than deposits for the Company. The Company's average rate paid for such Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other funds, however, was reduced by 47 basis points when comparing the first quarters of 2005 and 2004. Management has reduced reliance on wholesale funding sources as evidenced by the average balance in this category declining over $5 million during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004. Intense competition for all types of loans and deposits tends to limit the Company's ability to control pricing and other terms when dealing with customers. Despite these limitations, the Company was able to increase the overall net interest margin to 3.53% during the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to 3.40% for the same period last year. Provisions for loan losses were $240,000 and $170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 3004, respectively. Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 totaled $226,000 compared to net charge-offs of $140,000 for the same quarter in 2004. The vast majority of net loan charge-offs in 2005 was attributable to one borrower. The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management of the Banks to provide for probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance the Banks make continuous evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, consider current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, and other factors. There can be no assurance that loan losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the company will not be required to make additional provisions for loan losses in the future. Asset quality is a constant priority for the Company and its subsidiary banks. Should the economic climate deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of non-performing, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise thus requiring further increases in the provision. Nonaccrual loans totaled $1,662,000 at March 31, 2005, a very modest decrease of $6,000 from December 31, 2004. There was a total of $38,000 other real estate owned at March 31, 2005 compared to $77,000 at December 31, 2004. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totaled $255,000, which was $48,000 or 23.2% more than at year-end 2004. The allowance for possible loan losses of $3,399,000 at March 31, 2005, represented 1.2% of gross loans and 174% of total nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Other income results from the charges and fees collected by the Company from its customers for various services performed, gross trust department revenue, miscellaneous other income, gains (or losses) from the sale of investment securities in the available for sale category and loans, as well as income from corporate owned life insurance. Total other income for the first quarter of 2005 was $758,000; $66,000 or 9.5% more than the first quarter of 2004. Service fees, particularly on deposit accounts, were the largest single area of growth in the other income category, exhibiting an increase of $45,000 or 10.5%. Trust department income rose $7,000 or 7.6% while gains on loans sold grew $32,000 or 160.0%. Income on corporate owned life insurance increased $3,000 or 6.5%. Finally, miscellaneous other income increased $12,000 or 16.7%. No securities gains were recognized during the first quarter of 2005 compared to $33,000 of gains in 2004. Operating expenses include all the costs incurred to operate the Company except for interest expense, the loan loss provision and income taxes. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of operating expenses, increased $85,000 or 6.7% due to normal raises, incentives and the rising cost of health care. Additionally, a new branch was opened in December 2004 with the first quarter of 2005 reflecting the related operating expenses, including salaries and benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $19,000 or 5.4% as depreciation and property taxes rose. All other operating expenses increased $95,000 or 17.4% due in large measure to the new branch discussed above and final settlement in the first quarter of 2004 of a non-recurring liability at an amount approximately $20,000 more advantageous to the Company than previously anticipated and accrued for. Total operating expenses increased $199,000 or 9.2% during the first quarter of 2005 versus the same quarter last year. Increased costs of regulatory compliance and technology spending continue to challenge the Company in its effort to control expenses while maintaining strong productivity, efficiency, capacity and high quality customer service. 10 Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 of $348,000 represented 31.2% of income before taxes. For the comparable quarter last year income tax expense was 31.3% of income before tax. The efficiency ratio, defined as noninterest expense, excluding the provision for loan losses, as a percent of net interest income plus noninterest income, was 63.6% and 61.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The primary reasons for this change in the efficiency ratio are discussed previously in this report. Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition The Company's assets at March 31, 2005 totaled $381,555,000, an increase of $17,372,000 or 4.8% from December 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $21,601,000 of federal funds sold compared to $12,300,000 at December 31, 2004. This increase resulted from growth in deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (see below for further discussion). These liquid assets, federal funds sold, may be used to fund future loan growth, deposit or other liability outflows, purchases of investment securities available for sale, or various other purposes as identified by management. At March 31, 2005, interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions (primarily fully FDIC insured certificates of deposit) as well as some interest-bearing demand accounts at various banking institutions totaled $7,533,000 versus $8,395,000 at December 31, 2004. This decline was chiefly due to the yield spreads available on new interest-bearing deposits being less than Company established target spreads to alternative investments. Total available for sale securities increased $5,114,000 or 16.9% during the first three months of 2005 to total $35,439,000 at March 31, 2005. The Banks emphasize purchase of securities with maturities of five years and less as such purchases typically offer reasonable yields with limited credit risk as well as limited interest rate risk. Additionally, selected securities with longer maturities are owned in order to enhance overall portfolio yield without significantly increasing risk. In the relatively low, but rising interest rate environment which continued during the first quarter of 2005, the banks purchased more securities than the total of securities that were sold, matured, called, or paid down. However, most of the securities that were purchased had rather short maturities or likely early call dates. Average taxable investment securities available for sale had an average duration of only approximately two years. Securities sold during the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 totaled none and $1,151,000, respectively, and resulted in net gains recognized of none and $33,000, respectively. Net loans totaled $283,039,000 at March 31, 2005, an increase of $2,140,000 or 0.8% from December 31, 2004. Competition for high-quality loans remains intense in all loan categories. The Company's first quarter 2005 proceeds from sales of real estate loans in the secondary market totaled $3,148,000 versus $2,872,000 for the same period in 2004. Total deposits at March 31, 2005, were $289,832,000, an increase of $12,097,000 or 4.4% from the balance at December 31, 2004. Certificates of deposit represented on average for the three months ended March 31, 2005, approximately 38% of total deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits, comprised of savings, money market and NOW accounts, represented another 44% of average deposits. The final 18% of average deposits were in noninterest-bearing accounts. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $6,022,000 (102.3%) to total $11,907,000 as more corporate dollars were directed to this category. Advances borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank declined by $1,143,000 from year-end 2004, totaling $41,773,000 at quarter end. The note payable balance of $2,100,000 at March 31, 2005, was unchanged from the balance at December 31, 2004. The next scheduled annual principal payment of $600,000 is due at the end of the third quarter of 2005. This is a variable rate revolving five-year term note priced at Prime Rate less one percent, with a floor of 3.25% and a ceiling of 5.25%. Interest Rate Sensitivity The Company manages its balance sheet to minimize the impact of interest rate movements on its earnings. The term "rate sensitive" refers to those assets and liabilities which are "sensitive" to fluctuations in rates and yields. When interest rates move, earnings may be affected in many ways. Interest rates on assets and liabilities may change at different times or by different amounts. Maintaining a proper balance between rate sensitive earning assets and rate sensitive liabilities is the principal function of asset and liability management of a banking organization. 11 A positive repricing gap for a given period exists when total interest-earning assets exceed total interest-bearing liabilities and a negative gap exists when total interest-bearing liabilities are in excess of interest-earning assets. Generally a positive repricing gap will result in increased net interest income in a rising rate environment and decreased net interest income in a falling rate environment. A negative repricing gap tends to produce increased net interest income in a falling rate environment and decreased net interest income in a rising rate environment. At March 31, 2005, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets within a one year maturity range and, thus, the Company is theoretically positioned to benefit from a decline in interest rates within the next year. The Company's repricing gap position is useful for measuring general relative risk levels. However, even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk cannot be avoided entirely. Interest rate risk remains in the form of prepayment risk of assets and liabilities, timing lags in adjusting certain assets and liabilities that have varying sensitivities to market interest rates, and basis risk. Basis risk refers to the possibility that the repricing behavior of variable-rate assets could differ from the repricing characteristics of liabilities which reprice in the same time period. Even though these assets are match-funded, the spread between asset yields and funding costs could change. Because the repricing gap position does not capture these risks, Management utilizes simulation modeling to measure and manage the rate sensitivity exposure of earnings. The Company's simulation model provides a projection of the effect on net interest income of various interest rate scenarios and balance sheet strategies. Liquidity For banks, liquidity represents ability to meet both loan commitments and deposit withdrawals. Factors which influence the need for liquidity are varied, but include general economic conditions, asset/liability mix, bank reputation, future FDIC funding needs, changes in regulatory environment, and credit standing. Assets which provide liquidity consist principally of loans, cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions, investment securities, and short-term investments such as federal funds. Maturities of securities held for investment purposes and loan payments provide a constant flow of funds available for cash needs. Additionally, liquidity can be gained by the sale of loans or securities prior to maturity if such assets had previously been designated as available for sale. Interest rates, relative to the rate paid by the security or loan sold, along with the maturity of the security or loan, are the major determinates of the price which can be realized upon sale. The stability of the Company's funding, and thus its ability to manage liquidity, is greatly enhanced by its consumer deposit base. Consumer deposits tend to be small in size, diversified across a large base of individuals, and are government insured to the extent permitted by law. Total deposits at March 31, 2005, were $289,832,000 or 76.0% of total liabilities and equity. Federal funds sold overnight totaled $21,601,000 or 5.7% of March 31, 2005 total assets. These federal funds sold may be used to fund loans as well as deposit withdrawals, or for other purposes as defined by management. Securities available for sale with a fair value totaling $35,439,000 at quarter-end included net unrealized gains of approximately $209,000. These securities may be sold in whole or in part to increase liquid assets, reposition the investment portfolio, or for other purposes as defined by management. Capital Stockholders' equity increased $60,000 (0.2%) during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The year-to-date increase included net income of $766,000, decrease of $199,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income, $346,000 of dividends declared to shareholders, and $161,000 increase in the maximum obligation related to KSOP shares. Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial institutions, including risk-based capital standards. The primary objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a consistent system for comparing capital positions of financial institutions and to take into account the different inherent risks among financial institutions' assets and off-balance-sheet items. Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio). In addition, regulatory agencies consider the published capital levels as minimum levels and may require a financial institution to maintain capital at higher levels. 12 A comparison of the Company's capital as of March 31, 2005 with the requirements to be considered adequately capitalized is presented below. For Capital Actual Adequacy Purposes ----------------------------- Total capital to risk-weighted assets ......... 12.9% 8.00% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ........ 11.7% 4.00% Tier 1 capital to average assets .............. 8.7% 4.00% Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. Trends, Events or Uncertainties Officers and Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries have had, and may have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business of the Company's subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all such transactions, with one exception, are on substantially the same terms, including interest rates on loans and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others, involve no more than normal risk of collectibility, and present no other unfavorable features. One loan relationship, which resulted in a first quarter 2005 net charge-off of $211,000, was with a related party of a subsidiary bank director. In the normal course of business, the Banks are involved in various legal proceedings. In the current opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. The Company has in the past from time to time purchased, as they became available in the market, shares of its outstanding common stock for the treasury. During the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 total shares purchased by the Company for the treasury were none and 11,643, respectively.
