Item 2.02 Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On February 12, 2008, we concluded that a valuation allowance should be established to reduce our net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2007 to zero. Based on higher than expected operating losses in 2007 and the continued difficult economic environment affecting our market, we are no longer able to conclude that it is more likely than not we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets we have recorded in the reasonably near term. Accordingly, as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, we will record a valuation allowance of approximately $650,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 that will reduce our net deferred tax asset, including the value of net operating loss carryforwards, to zero at December 31, 2007.

This non-cash charge will increase our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007, and will decrease shareholder’s equity at year-end. It will not, however, affect our regulatory capital, because net deferred tax assets not supported by taxes paid and recoverable are not included in regulatory capital.

Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 will be reported upon the filing of our Form 10-KSB on or before March 31, 2008.
