Net Income. Bank of Oak Ridge ("The Bank") recorded net income of $794,000 and $369,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Net Interest Income

The Bank's net interest income for fiscal year 2005 was $5.3 million, up $1.5 million, or 38.7 percent, from $3.8 million for fiscal year 2004. The increase reflects a 30% increase in average earning assets Earning Assets

 combined with a 22 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 3.62%. The improvement was a result of the Bank's asset sensitive balance sheet combined with a growing core deposit base.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased to $508,000 for 2005 compared to $441,000 for 2004. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.15, 1.11 and 1.00 percent at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $1.3 million for 2005, up $308,000, or 30 percent, from $1.0 million for 2004.

 fees, investment and insurance commissions, and other non-interest income of $88,000, $83,000, $51,000, and $86,000, respectively, contributed to the increase in non-interest income. The continued growth in the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios generally lead to a higher level of non-interest income. Therefore, to a large extent, most of the increases were indirectly caused by the continued growth of the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios.

 $413,000, or 39.1 percent, from $1.1 million for the same period of 2005. The increase reflects a 31% increase in average earning assets combined with a 20 basis point improvement in the net interest margin to 3.59%. The improvement was a result of the Bank's asset sensitive balance sheet combined with a growing core deposit base.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was relatively unchanged at $118,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $111,000 for the same period in 2005. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.15, 1.11 and 1.00 percent at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $397,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, up $146,000, or 58 percent, from $251,000 for 2004. Increases from 2004 to 2005 in service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage loan origination fees, investment and insurance commissions, and other non-interest income of $43,000, $34,000, $45,000, and $24,000, respectively, contributed to the increase in non-interest income. The continued growth in the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios generally lead to a higher level of non-interest income. Therefore, to a large extent, most of the increases were indirectly caused by the continued growth of the Bank's loan and deposit portfolios.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, up $396,000, or 38 percent, from $1.1 million for the same period in 2004. Salaries and employee benefits increased $191,000, or 37 percent, to $705,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $84,000, or 54 percent, to $241,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in both salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment reflected significant infrastructure expansion in 2005 with one new banking office and one new brokerage office, as well as the conversion to an in-house data processing system in March of 2005. The Bank added 14 new employees in 2005 bringing total full-time equivalent employees to 44. The decrease in data and items processing expenses of $68,000, or 70 percent, to $29,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 is primarily attributable to savings associated with the conversion to an in-house data processing system from an outsourced data processing system. Professional and advertising expenses increased $42,000, or 27 percent, to $199,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of higher advertising expenses in 2005 compared to 2004. Other non-interest expenses increased $147,000, or 115 percent, to $275,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of one-time costs associated with the conversion to an in-house data processing system in March of 2005 as well as the opening in Greensboro of the Bank's third banking office in August of 2005.

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

The Bank's assets increased from $134.4 million to $172.5 million, or 28 percent, from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005, respectively. The majority of the net increase in assets between the two periods was caused by an increase in loans.

Loans
