"Our first quarter results reflect continued progress in enhancing "other income" generation through the ongoing success of fee-based programs as well as improving our net interest margin," said Rick L. Ginther, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic focus of prudently pru·dent

 in the economy."

The Company recorded a $32 thousand loan loss provision in the first quarter of 2006, as compared to $106 thousand in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in loan loss provision for the first quarter 2006 from the first quarter 2005 reflects the increase in the Company's level of allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans.

During the first quarter of 2006, the level of nonperforming loans improved from the prior quarter. This improvement, combined with a declining historical charge-off history, has factored into the Company's reserve methodology. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2006, was 1.12% of period-end loans, compared with 1.14% on December 31, 2005, and 1.08% on March 31, 2005. The March 31, 2006, ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans stood at 369%.

Assets at March 31, 2006, totaled $319 million, up 1.95% from March 31, 2005. Period-end loans were $221.4 million, declining $2.7 million or 1.2%, driven by a $3.9 million decline in mortgage loans coupled with a $3.0 million reduction in commercial participation loans that were primarily repurchased by the originating bank. These reductions in loan balances were partially offset by home equity loans increasing $3.5 million or 22.4%, and consumer installment loans Noun 1. installment loan - a loan repaid with interest in equal periodic payments

Deposits totaled $247 million at March 31, 2006, compared with $244 million on March 31, 2005. Year-over-year, average checking account balances have decreased approximately $500 thousand.
