Dear Shareholders, 

Inc. 

The  year  2009  was  a  very  good  year  for  First 
Bankers  Trustshares, 
  Records  were 
achieved in many statistical categories including 
profitability and growth.  Asset quality remains 
strong,  especially  in  light  of  the  surrounding 
economic  environment  in  which  we  operate.  
We are optimistic and hopeful for a solid 2010.

During  the  year,  we  were  presented  with  the 
opportunity 
to 
Springfield,  Illinois.    Both  the  Trust  Company 
and  Bank  are  taking  care  of  our  present 
customers, 
new 
opportunities  and  customers  in  this  dynamic 
marketplace.  We also have an option on ground 
in  Macomb,  Illinois  and  are  evaluating  a  new 
branch  on  the  busy  east  end  of  Macomb.    This 
would allow us two locations in this community, 
and  give  the  Bank  its  eleventh  branch.    We 
continue 
the 
additional opportunities that are presented to us.  
We  will  not  undertake  anything  we  feel  we 
cannot  handle,  or  that  presents  an  inordinate 
risk.    Today  is  the  time  to  carefully  grow  our 
franchise in lower risk, higher return ways.

Lastly,  we  would  like  to  thank  you,  our 
stockholders,  for  your  continued  faith  and  trust 
in  us.    Without  your  investment  and  interest,

We look forward to talking to you at our annual 
meeting  on  May  11,  2010  at  the  Holiday  Inn 
located at 4821 Oak Street in Quincy, Illinois, at 
9:00 a.m. 

Sincerely, 

Donald K. Gnuse 
Chairman of the Board 

The  Bank  recently  added  a  financial  planning  
group to our organization.  We feel this elevates 
our  service  and  expertise  to  a  new  level.    It 
should  provide  synergies  to  both  our  banking 
and personal trust business in all of our markets.

opinion  of  Management,  the  financial  statements,  which 
include  amounts  based  on  management 
necessarily 
estimates  and 
in 
judgments,  have  been  prepared 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 
in  the  United  States  of  America  and  appropriate  to  the 
circumstances. 

In meeting its responsibilities, First Bankers Trustshares, 
internal  controls  and 
Inc.  maintains  a  system  of 
procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that 
assets  are  safeguarded,  that  transactions  are  executed  in 
accordance  with  established  policies  and  practices,  and 
that  transactions  are  properly  recorded  so  as  to  permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  that  fairly  present 
financial position and results of operations in conformity 
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the 
  Internal  controls  and 
United  States  of  America. 
procedures  are  augmented  by  written  policies  covering 
standards  of  personal  and  business  conduct  and  an 
organizational  structure  providing 
for  division  of 
accountability and authority. 

The  effectiveness  of,  and  compliance  with,  established 
control  systems  are  monitored  through  a  continuous 
program  of  internal  audit,  account  review,  and  external 
audit.  In recognition of the cost-benefit relationships and 
inherent  control limitations,  some  features  of the control 
systems  are  designated  to  detect  rather  than  prevent 
irregularities  and  departures  from  approved 
errors, 
policies and practices.  Management believes the system 
of controls has prevented or detected on a timely basis, 

any  occurrences  that  could  be  material  to  the  financial 
statements  and  that  timely  corrective  action  have  been 
initiated when appropriate. 

First  Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc.  engaged  the  accounting 
firm  of  McGladrey  &  Pullen,  LLP  as  Independent 
Auditors  to  render  an  opinion  on  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.    To  the  best  of  our  knowledge,  the 
Independent  Auditors  were  provided  with  access  to  all 
information and records necessary to render their opinion. 

The Board of Directors exercises its responsibility for the 
financial  statements  and  related  information  through  the 
Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of outside 
directors.    The  Audit  Committee  meets  regularly  with 
Management, the internal auditing manager and staff, and 
the  Independent  Auditors  to  assess  the  scope  of  the 
annual  audit  plan  and  to  discuss  audit,  internal  control 
and  financial  reporting  issues.    Among  the  many  items 
discussed  are  major  changes  in  accounting  policies  and 
reporting practices.  The Independent Auditors also meet 
with the Audit Committee, without Management present, 
to  afford  them  the  opportunity  to  discuss  adequacy  of 
compliance with established policies and procedures and 
the quality of financial reporting.

Management's Discussion and Analysis 
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Introduction 
The  following  discussion  of  the  financial  condition  and 
results  of  operations  of  First  Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc. 
provides  an  analysis  of 
the  consolidated  financial 
statements  included  in  this  annual  report  and  focuses 
upon  those  factors  which  had  a  significant  influence  on 
the overall 2009 performance.

using purchase accounting.  Prior to the acquisition of the 
Bank,  the  Company  did  not  engage  in  any  significant 
business activities.

     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                            9 
Non-interest  expense  consists  primarily  of  employee 
compensation  and  benefits,  occupancy  and  equipment 
expenses,  amortization  and  general  and  administrative 
expenses. 

At  December  31,  2009,  the  Company  had  assets  of 
$623,896,000  compared  to  $498,028,000  at  December 
31, 2008.  The growth in assets is primarily made up of a 
92.05% growth in securities which was partially offset by 
a  38.12%  decrease  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents.    The 
remaining growth in securities was funded primarily from 
a 27.67% growth in deposits. 

In  January  2009,  the  Company  sold  $10,000,000  in 
preferred  stock  to  the  United  States  Treasury  as  part  of 
the  Capital  Purchase  Program  to  fund  future  growth 
opportunities. 

The net loan portfolio grew by 1.17% and was primarily 
made  up  of  growth  in  commercial  loans  of  $5,078,000 
and  agricultural  loans  of  $3,006,000.    Consumer  loans 
also increased $306,000.  Approximately $73,392,000 of 
fixed rate long-term residential real estate loans were sold 
in  the  secondary  market  during  2009  while  $13,518,000 
were sold in 2008.  Agricultural real estate loans totaling 
$1,616,000  were  sold  in  the  secondary  market  during 
2009,  while  $691,000  were  sold  in  2008.    Management 
continues  to  place  emphasis  on  the  quality  versus  the 
quantity of the credits placed in the portfolio. 

In  addition  to  lending,  the  Company  has  focused  on 
maintaining and enhancing high levels of fee income for 
its existing services and new services.  Generation of fee 
income  will  be  a  goal  of  the  Company  and  should  be  a 
source of continued revenues in the future.  

Results of Operations Summary 
The  Company's  earnings  are  primarily  dependent  on  net 
interest  income,  the  difference  between  interest  income 
and interest expense.  Interest income is a function of the 
balances  of  loans,  securities  and  other  interest  earning 
assets outstanding during the period and the yield earned 
on  such  assets.    Interest  expense  is  a  function  of  the 
balances  of  deposits  and  borrowings  outstanding  during 
the same period and the rates paid on such deposits and  
borrowings.  The Company's earnings are also affected by 
provisions for  loan losses, service  charges, trust income, 
other non-interest income and expense and income taxes.   

Prevailing  economic  conditions  as  well  as  federal 
regulations  concerning  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  as 
they  pertain  to  financial  institutions  significantly  affect 
the  Company.    Deposit  balances  are  influenced  by  a 
number  of  factors  including  interest  rates  paid  on 
competing personal investments and the level of personal 
income  and  savings  within  the  institution's  market.    In 
addition, growth of deposit balances is influenced by the 
perceptions  of  customers  regarding  the  stability  of  the 
financial  services 
  Lending  activities  are 
influenced by the demand for housing, competition from 
other  lending  institutions,  as  well  as  lower  interest  rate 
levels,  which  may  stimulate  loan  refinancing.    The 
primary  sources  of  funds  for  lending  activities  include 
deposits,  loan  payments,  borrowings  and  funds  provided 
from operations. 

industry. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2009,  the  Company 
reported  consolidated  net  income  of  $5,885,000,  a 
$1,156,000  (24.44%)  increase  from  2008.    Net  interest 
income  after  provision  for  loan  losses  for  the  periods 
being compared increased $2,038,000 or 15.24%.  Other 
operating  income  increased  $1,258,000  (16.06%)  and 
other  expenses  increased  $1,697,000  (11.77%)  from 
2008.   

Analysis of Net Income 
The Company's assets are primarily comprised of interest 
earning  assets 
including  commercial,  agricultural, 
consumer  and  real  estate  loans,  as  well  as  federal  funds 
sold,  interest  bearing  deposits  in  banks  and  securities.  
Average earning assets equaled $553,127,000 for the year 
ended  December  31,  2009.    A  combination  of  interest 
bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, long term debt, 
federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement 
to  repurchase,  other  borrowings  and  capital  funds  are 
employed to finance these assets.

allowance  for  loan  losses  is  adequate  to  provide  for 
possible losses in the portfolio at December 31, 2009. 

Other Income 
Other income may be divided into two broad categories -
recurring  and  non-recurring.    Trust  fees  and  service 
charges on deposit accounts are the major sources of  
recurring  other  income.    Investment  securities  gains  and 
other income vary annually.  Other income for the period 
ended December 31, 2009 was $9,093,000, an increase of 
$1,258,000  (16.06%)  from  2008.    An  increase  in  other 
income  from  sales  of  mortgage  loans  of  $613,000 
primarily accounted for the increase. 

Other Expense

The  yield  on  average  earning  assets  for  the  year  ended 
2009  was  4.73%  while the  average  cost  of  funds for the 
same  period  was  1.86%  on  average  interest  bearing 
liabilities of $518,707,000.  The yield on average earning 
assets  for  the  year  ended  2008  was  5.87%,  while  the 
average cost of funds for the same period was 2.95% on 
average interest bearing liabilities of $372,932,000.  The 
increase  in the  net  interest  income  of  $1,788,000  can  be 
attributed  to  the  26.38%  increase  in  average  earning 
assets  and  the  1.09%  decrease  in  average  cost  of  funds, 
which was partially offset by the 1.14% decrease in yield 
on earning assets.   

Provision for Loan Losses 
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans 
outstanding is 1.59% at December 31, 2009, compared to 
1.40%  at  December  31,  2008.    Net  loan  charge-offs 
totaled  $473,000  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2009 
compared to $603,000 in 2008. 

The amounts recorded in the provision for loan losses are 
determined  from  management's  quarterly  evaluation  of 
the  quality  of  the  loan  portfolio.    In  this  review,  such 
factors as the volume and character of the loan portfolio, 
general  economic  conditions  and  past 
loss 
experience are considered.  Management believes that the

Income Taxes 
The  Company  files  its  Federal  income  tax  return  on  a 
consolidated  basis  with  the  Bank.    See  Note  15  to  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  for  detail  of  income 
taxes. 

Liquidity 
The  concept  of  liquidity  comprises  the  ability  of  an 
enterprise  to  maintain  sufficient  cash  flow  to  meet  its 
needs  and  obligations  on  a  timely  basis.    Bank  liquidity 
must thus be considered in terms of the nature and mix of 
the institution's sources and uses of funds. 

liquidity 

Bank liquidity is provided from both assets and liabilities.  
The  asset  side  provides 
through  regular 
maturities of investment securities and loans.  Investment 
securities  with  maturities  of  one  year  or  less,  deposits 
with banks and federal funds sold are a primary source of 
asset liquidity.   On December 31, 2009, these categories 
totaled  $21,727,000  or  3.48%  of  assets,  compared  to 
$37,240,000 or 7.48% the previous year. 

As  of  December  31,  2009,  securities  held  to  maturity 
included $30,000 of gross unrealized gains  and no gross 
unrealized losses on securities which management intends 
to hold until maturity.  Such amounts are not expected to 
have a material effect on future earnings beyond the usual 
amortization of premium and accretion of discount. 

Closely  related  to  the  management  of  liquidity  is  the 
management  of  rate  sensitivity  (management  of  variable 
rate assets and liabilities), which focuses on maintaining a 
stable net interest margin, an important factor in earnings 
growth and stability.  Emphasis is placed on maintaining 
an evenly balanced rate sensitivity position to avoid wide 
swings  in  margins  and  minimize  risk  due  to  changes  in 
interest rates.   

The  Company's  Asset/Liability  Committee  is  charged 
with 
the 
the  responsibility  of  prudently  managing 
volumes  and  mixes  of  assets  and  liabilities  of  the 
subsidiary Bank.   

Management  believes  that  it  has  structured  its  pricing 
mechanisms  such  that  the  net  interest  margin  should 
maintain  acceptable  levels  in  2010,  regardless  of  the 
changes  in  interest  rates  that  may  occur.    The  following 
table  shows  the  repricing  period  for  interest-earning

12 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  

                   CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                          12 

Effects of Inflation 
Until  recent  years,  the  economic  environment  in  which 
the  Company  operates  has  been  one  of  significant 
increases in the prices of most goods and services and a 
corresponding  decline  in  the  purchasing  power  of  the 
dollar. 

Banks  are  affected  differently  than  other  commercial 
enterprises by the effects of inflation.  Some reasons for 
these disparate effects are: a) premises and equipment for 
banks  represent  a  relatively  small  proportion  of  total 
assets;  b)  a  bank's  asset  and  liability  structure  is 
substantially monetary in nature, which can be converted 
into  a  fixed  number  of  dollars  regardless  of  changes  in 
prices, such as loans and deposits; and c) the majority of a 
bank's  income  is  generated  through  net  interest  income 
and not from goods or services rendered. 

Although  inflation  may  impact  both  interest  rates  and 
volume of loans and deposits, the major factor that affects 
net  interest  income  is  how  well  a  bank  is  positioned  to 
cope with changing interest rates.   

Capital 
The  ability  to  generate  and  maintain  capital  at  adequate 
levels is critical to the Company's long term success.  A 
common  measure  of  capitalization 
financial 
institutions is primary capital as a percent of total assets.  

for 

Regulations also require the Company to maintain certain 
minimum  capital  levels  in  relation  to  consolidated 
Company assets.  Regulations require a ratio of capital to 
risk-weighted assets of 8.00 percent.   

The Company's capital, as defined by the regulations, was 
16.60  percent  of  risk-weighted  assets  at  December  31, 
2009.  In addition, a leverage ratio of at least 4.00 percent 
is  to  be  maintained.    At  December  31,  2009,  the 
Company's leverage ratio was 9.88 percent. 

Asset Liability Management 
Since  changes  in  interest  rates  may  have  a  significant 
impact on operations the Company has implemented, and 
liability  management 
currently  maintains,  an  asset 
committee  at  the  Bank  to  monitor  and  react  to  the 
changes  in  interest  rates  and  other  economic  conditions.  
Research  concerning  interest  rate  risk  is  supplied  by  the 
Company  from  information  received  from  a  third  party 
source.    The  committee  acts  upon  this  information  by 
adjusting  pricing, 
income  parameters,  and/or 
marketing emphasis.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Nature of Business 
First  Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is  a  bank  holding  company  which  owns  100%  of  the  outstanding 
common stock of, First Bankers Trust Company, N.A. (Bank), First Bankers Trust Services, Inc. (Trust Services), FBIL 
Statutory  Trust  I  (Trust  I),  FBIL  Statutory  Trust  II  (Trust  II),  and  FBIL  Statutory  Trust  III  (Trust  III).    The  Bank  is 
engaged  in  banking  and  bank  related  services  and  serves  a  market  area  consisting  primarily  of  Adams,  McDonough, 
Schuyler, Hancock, Sangamon, and adjacent Illinois counties, and Marion, Lewis and Shelby counties in Missouri.  Trust 
Services provides asset and custodial management for clients throughout the country.  All administration is conducted in 
Quincy, IL  with sales offices in Chicago and Springfield, IL, Philadelphia, PA and Phoenix, AZ.   Trusts I, II, and III 
were capitalized for the purpose of issuing company obligated mandatory redeemable preferred securities. 

Accounting Estimates 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective 
as it requires material estimates that are susceptible to significant change.  The fair value disclosure of financial statements 
is an estimate that can be computed within a range. 

Basis of Consolidation 
The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  First  Bankers  Trustshares,  Inc.  and  its 
wholly-owned subsidiaries, except Trusts I, II, and III, which do not meet the criteria for consolidation.  All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Presentation of Cash Flows 
For  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,  cash  and  due  from  banks  includes  cash  on  hand  and  amounts  due  from  banks, 
including  cash  items  in  process  of  clearing.    Cash  flows  from  federal  funds  sold,  loans  to  customers,  deposits,  and 
securities sold under agreements to repurchase are reported net. 

Trust Services Fiduciary Activities and Assets 
Trust  Services  provides  fiduciary  related  services,  including  asset  management  and  custodial services  to  individual  and 
corporate clients.  Assets held by Trust Services are not assets of the Company, except for cash deposits held by the Bank, 
and accordingly are not included in the consolidated financial statements.  During the course of discharging its respective 
responsibilities for each client, Trust Services is subject to a number of Federal and State regulatory bodies and associated 
rules  governing  each  type  of  account.    Trust  Services  is  regulated  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of  St.  Louis  and  the 
Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. 

Securities 
Securities  held  to  maturity  are  those  for  which  the  Company  has  the  ability  and  intent  to  hold  to  maturity.    Securities 
meeting such criteria at the date of purchase and as of the balance sheet date are carried at amortized cost, adjusted for 
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed by the interest method over their contracted lives. 

Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of their deferred 
income  tax  effect,  are  presented  as  increases  or  decreases  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  as  a  separate 
component of equity. 

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are based upon the adjusted book value of the specific securities sold and 
are included in earnings.   

There were no trading securities at December 31, 2009 or 2008.

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recently issued accounting guidance related to the recognition and 
presentation of other-than-temporary impairment.  This guidance amends the recognition guidance for other-than-
temporary impairments of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosures for other-than-temporary 
impairment losses on debt and equity securities.  The recent guidance replaced the “intent and ability” indication in 
current guidance by specifying that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery, the 
security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss.  When an entity does not 
intend to sell the security, and it is unlikely the entity will have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will 
recognize the credit componant of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining 
portion in other comprehensive income.  For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of an other-than-temporary 
impairment recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous other-than-temporary 
impairment should be amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future 
estimated cash flows of the security. 

Loans  
Loans  held  for  sale:    Residential  real  estate  and  agricultural  loans,  which  are  originated  and  intended  for  resale  in  the 
secondary market in the foreseeable future, are classified as held for sale.  These loans are carried at the lower of cost or 
estimated market value in the aggregate.  As assets specifically acquired for resale, the origination of, disposition of, and 
gain/loss on these loans are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. 

Loans held for investment:  Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until 
pay-off or maturity occurs, are classified as held for investment.  These loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal 
adjusted  for  charge-offs,  the  allowance  for  estimated  losses  on  loans,  and  any  deferred  fees  and/or  costs  on  originated 
loans.    Interest  is  credited  to  earnings  as  earned  based  on  the  principal  amount  outstanding.    Deferred  direct  loan 
origination fees and/or costs are amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield.  As assets held for and used in the 
production of services, the origination and collection of these loans is classified as an investing activity in the statement of 
cash flows. 

It is the Bank's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there 
is reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal.  Interest on these loans is credited to income on the 
accrual basis when the loan is removed from nonaccrual status.  Nonaccrual loans are returned to an accrual status when, 
in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower and other relevant factors indicate there is no longer 
any reasonable doubt as to the timely payment of principal or interest.   

The  Bank  grants  agribusiness,  commercial, residential,  and  consumer  loans  to customers  throughout  the  Bank's  market 
area.  The Bank's policy for requiring collateral is consistent with prudent lending practices and anticipates the potential 
for  economic  fluctuations.    Collateral  varies  but  may  include  accounts  receivable,  inventory,  property,  equipment  and 
income-producing  commercial  properties.    It  is  the  Bank's  policy  to  file  financing  statements  and  mortgages  covering 
collateral pledged. 

As  of  December  31,  2009  and  2008,  the  Bank  had  loan  concentrations  in  agribusiness  of  13.90%  and  13.04%, 
respectively,  of  outstanding  loans.    The  Bank  had  no  additional  industry  loan  concentrations,  which,  in  management's 
judgment, were considered to be significant.  The Bank had no foreign loans outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 
2008. 

Allowance for Loan Losses 
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged 
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the  collectability of the principal is unlikely.  The 
allowance  is  an  amount  that  management  believes  will  be  adequate  to  absorb  losses  inherent  in  existing  loans  and 
commitments to extend loans based on evaluations of the  collectability and prior loss experience.  The evaluations take 
into  consideration  such  factors  as  changes  in  the  nature  and  volume  of  the  portfolio,  overall  portfolio  quality,  loan 
concentrations, specific problem loans and commitments, and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect 
the borrower's ability to pay.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events; it is probable the Bank will not be able to 
collect all amounts due under the loan agreement.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired 
loans is computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the 
loan's  effective  interest  rate  or  on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  for  collateral  dependent  loans.    The  entire  change  in 
present  value  of  expected  cash  flows  of  impaired  loans  is  reported  as  bad  debt  expense  in  the  same  manner  in  which 
impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported.  
The Bank recognizes interest income on impaired loans on a cash basis. 

Transfers of Financial Assets 
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, only when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control 
over  transferred  assets  is  deemed  to  be  surrendered  when  (1)  the  assets  have  been  isolated  from  the  Company,  (2)  the 
transferee obtains the right to pledge or exchange the assets it received, and no condition both constrains the transferee 
from taking advantage of its right to pledge or exchange and provides more than a modest benefit to the transferor, and (3) 
the  Company  does  not  maintain  effective  control  over  the  transferred  assets  through  an  agreement  to  repurchase  them 
before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets. 

Credit Related Financial Instruments 
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under 
lines of credit and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. 

Premises, Furniture and Equipment 
Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is determined using the 
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. 

Other Real Estate Owned   
Other real estate owned (OREO), which is included with other assets, represents properties acquired through foreclosure, 
in-substance  foreclosure  or  other  proceedings.    Any  write-down  to  fair  value  at  the  time  of  the  transfer  to  OREO  is 
charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount is supported 
by the current fair value.  Subsequent write-downs to fair value are charged to earnings. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in connection with business  combinations.  
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more 
likely than not that an impairment loss has occurred.  The Company has completed its annual goodwill impairment test 
and has determined that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2009 and 2008. 

Prepaid FDIC Insurance Assessment 
In  November  2009,  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC)  adopted  a  final  rule  amending  the  assessment 
regulations to require insured depository institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based assessment for all of 2010, 2011, 
and 2012.  The payment, which was made in December 2009, was recorded as a prepaid asset and is being amortized over 
the assessment period. 

Earnings per Share of Common Stock 
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred stock dividends 
and accretion, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each reporting period.  Diluted earnings per 
share of common stock assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents unless the 
effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations.  The Company had no 
common stock equivalents as of and for the years ending December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Income Taxes 
Deferred taxes  are  provided  on  a  liability  method  whereby  deferred  tax  assets  are  recognized  for  deductible  temporary 
differences  and  operating  loss  and  tax  credit  carry  forwards  and  deferred  tax  liabilities  are  recognized  for  taxable 
temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 
and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is 
more  likely  than  not  that  some  portion  or  all  of  the  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be  realized.    Deferred  tax  assets  and 
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in the tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which 
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded 
in  the  financial  statements.    Under  this  guidance,  the  Company  may  recognize  the  tax  benefit  from  an  uncertain  tax-
position  only  if  it  is  more-likely-than-not  that  the  tax  position  will  be  sustained  on  examination  by  taxing  authorities, 
based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position 
are  measured  based  on  the  largest  benefit  that  has  a  greater  than  50%  likelihood  of  being  realized  upon  ultimate 
settlement.    The  guidance  on  accounting  for  uncertainty  in  income  taxes  also  addresses  de-recognition,  classification, 
interest  and  penalties  on  income  taxes,  and  accounting  in  interim  periods.    Management  evaluated  the  Company’s  tax 
positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial 
statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. 

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax 
authorities for years before 2006. 

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities 
Interest rate swaps are derivatives that are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.  Changes in the fair value of 
a  derivative  that  is  highly  effective  and  that  is  designed  and  qualifies  as  a  cash  flow  hedge,  are  recorded  in  other 
comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a 
variable rate liability are recorded in earnings). 

The  Company  formally  documents  all  relationships  between  hedging  instruments  and  hedged  items  as  well  as  its  risk-
management  objective  and  strategy  for  undertaking  various  hedged  transactions.    The  Company  also  formally  assesses 
both at the hedge’s inception and, on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are 
highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.  When it is determined that a derivative 
is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be  a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge 
accounting prospectively, as discussed below. 

The  Company  discontinues  hedge  accounting  prospectively  when:  (1)  it  is  determined  that  the  derivative  is  no  longer 
effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated and 
exercised; or (3) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.  
If hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is carried at fair value on the balance sheet, with changes in its fair 
value recognized in current-period earnings.  

Subsequent Events 
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through  March 12, 2010, the date that the financial statements  were 
available to be issued. 

Reclassifications 
Certain  amounts  in  the  prior  years’  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified,  with  no  effect  on  net  income  or 
stockholders’ equity, to conform to current year presentations.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 

Current Accounting Developments 
In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting standards that require entities to separate an other-than-temporary impairment 
(OTTI)  of  a  debt  security  into  two  components  when  there  are  credit-related  losses  associated  with  the  impaired  debt 
security for which management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell the security, and it is unlikely that it will be 
required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis.  The amount of OTTI related to credit loss is recognized in 
earnings,  and  the  amount  of  the  OTTI  related  to  other  factors  is  recorded  in  other  comprehensive  income  (loss).    The 
Company adopted these standards for the year ended December 31, 2009.  There was no previous OTTI recorded by the 
Company for the year ended December 31, 2008, therefore, the adoption of these standards did not have a material impact 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides guidance related to the accounting for transfers and 
servicing  of  financial  assets  and  extinguishments  of  liabilities,  including  the  removal  of  the  concept  of  a  qualifying 
special-purpose  entity.    This  new  accounting  standard  also  clarifies  that  a  transferor  must  evaluate  whether  it  has 
maintained  effective  control  of  a  financial  asset  by  considering  its  continuing  direct  or  indirect  involvement  with  the 
transferred financial asset.  This standard is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting 
period that begins after November 15, 2009.  The company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a 
material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

2.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME  

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-
owner  sources.    Comprehensive  income  is  the  total  of  net  income  and  other  comprehensive  income,  which,  for  the 
Company, is comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and the interest rate swap. 

Other comprehensive income is comprised as follows (Amounts in thousands of dollars): 

Year ended December 31, 2009 
Unrealized gains on securities available for sale: 
  Unrealized holding gains arising during the year 
  Less reclassification adjustment for gains 
  included in net income 
  Interest rate swap 
Other comprehensive income

At  December  31,  2009,  the  investment  portfolio  included  379  securities.    Of  this  number,  64  securities  have  current 
unrealized losses and 11 of them have current unrealized losses which have existed for longer than one year.  All of the 
debt  securities  with  unrealized  losses  are  considered  to  be  acceptable  credit  risks.    Based  upon  an  evaluation  of  the 
available  evidence,  including  recent  changes  in  market  rates,  credit  rating  information  and  information  obtained  from 
regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these debt securities are temporary.  In addition, the 
Company does not have the intent to sell these debt securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be 
required to sell these debt securities prior to their anticipated recovery. 

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized other-than-temporary impairment of $1,930,000 on two 
securities of which $653,000 was associated with credit loss and was, therefore, recognized in income with the remaining 
noncredit-related  portion  of  $1,277,000  being  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income.    There  was  no  other-than-
temporary impairment recognized for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Mortgage  loans  serviced  for  others  are  not  included  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets.    The  unpaid 
principal balances of these loans totaled $109,771,000 and $74,746,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Bank  has  loans  with  directors,  principal  officers,  their  immediate  families  and 
affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (hereafter referred to as related parties).  The Bank believes 
that all such loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at 
the  time  for  comparable  loans  with  other  persons  and  that  such  loans  do  not  present  more  than  a  normal  risk  of 
collectability  or  present  other  unfavorable  features.    The  balances  of  these  loans  were  $6,369,000  and  $9,615,000  at 
December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

9.  FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES (Continued) 

First mortgage loans of approximately $11,333,000 and $24,667,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, are 
pledged as collateral on FHLB advances. 

10.  JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDATORILY                                                                            
REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS HOLDING SOLELY 
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES 

Junior subordinated debentures are due to FBIL Statutory Trusts I, II, and III, which are all 100% owned non-consolidated 
subsidiaries of the Company.  The debentures were issued in 2000, 2003, and 2004, respectively, in conjunction with each 
Trust’s issuance of 5,000 shares of Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities.  The debentures all 
bear the same interest rate and terms as the preferred securities, detailed following.  The debentures are included on the 
consolidated  balance  sheets  as  liabilities;  however,  in  accordance  with  Federal  Reserve  Board  regulations  in  effect  at 
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company is allowed, for regulatory purposes, to include $15,000,000 and $11,955,000 
respectively of the capital securities issued by the Trusts in Tier I capital, with the remainder included in Tier II capital.   

During  2004  FBIL  Statutory  Trust  III  issued  5,000  shares  of  Company  Obligated  Mandatorily  Redeemable  (COMR) 
Preferred Securities.  Distributions are paid quarterly.  Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual 
rate that is 265 basis points above the 3 month LIBOR rate (2.90% and 4.08% as of December 31, 2009 and 2008).  The 
Trust  may,  at  one  or  more  times,  defer  interest  payments  on  the  capital  securities  for  up  to  20  consecutive  quarterly 
periods, but not beyond September 15, 2034.  At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions 
will  be  paid.    The  capital  securities  will  be  redeemed  on  September  15,  2034  at  par  plus  any  accrued  and  unpaid 
distributions to the date of the redemption; however, the Trust has the option to shorten the maturity date. The redemption 
may be in whole or in part, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000.   

Effective  January  2009,  the  Company  entered  into  an  interest  rate  swap  agreement  related  to  the  Company  Obligated 
Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities issued in 2004 by FBIL Statutory Trust III.  The swap agreement is utilized 
to manage variable interest rate exposure and is designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge.  The swap agreement 
expires in 2013 and essentially fixes the rate to be paid at 5.02%.  As of December 31, 2009, the notional amount of the 
swap  is  $5,000,000  with  a  fair  value  of  $24,000  recorded  as  an  asset  and  as  an  addition  to  accumulated  other 
comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. 

During  2003  the  Company  issued  5,000  shares  of  Company  Obligated  Mandatorily  Redeemable  (COMR)  Preferred 
Securities of FBIL Statutory Trust II Holding Solely Subordinated Debentures.  Distributions are paid quarterly.   
Cumulative cash distributions are calculated at a variable annual rate that is 295 basis points above the 3 month LIBOR 
rate (3.20% and 4.38% as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively).  The Company may, at one or more times, defer  
interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond September 17, 2033.  
At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions will be paid.  The capital securities will be  
redeemed on September 17, 2033 at par plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption; however, 
the Company has the option to shorten the maturity date.  

During  2000  the  Company  issued  5,000  shares  of  Company  Obligated  Mandatorily  Redeemable  (COMR)  Preferred 
Securities  of  FBIL  Statutory  Trust  I  Holding  Solely  Subordinated  Debentures.    Distributions  are  paid  semi-annually.  
Cumulative  cash  distributions  are calculated  at a  10.60% annual rate.  The  Company  may,  at  one  or  more  times,  defer 
interest  payments  on  the  capital  securities  for  up  to  10  consecutive  semi-annual  periods,  but  not  beyond  September  7, 
2030.  At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions will be paid.  The capital securities will 
be redeemed on September 7, 2030; however, the Company has the option to shorten the maturity date to a date not earlier 
than September 7, 2010.  The redemption price begins at 105.300% to par and is reduced by 53 basis points each year 
until September 7, 2020 when the capital securities can be redeemed at par.  Any accrued and unpaid distributions to the 
date of the redemption must also be paid. 

Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured and rank junior in priority of payment to all of the 
Trust’s indebtedness and senior to the Trust’s capital stock.

11.  PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES A AND B 

In  October  2008,  Congress  passed the  Emergency  Economic  Stabilization  Act  of  2008  (EESA).   One  of the  provisions 
resulting  from  the  Act  is  the  Treasury  Capital  Purchase  Program  (CPP)  which  provides  direct  equity  investment  of 
perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions. In January 2009, the Company, pursuant 
to the CPP implemented under the EESA, issued and sold to  the Treasury 10,000 shares of the Company’s Cumulative 
Perpetual  Preferred  Stock,  Series  A,  together  with  a  warrant  to  purchase  500 shares  of  the  Company’s  Cumulative 
Perpetual Perferred Stock, Series B, for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million in cash.  The warrant has a ten-year 
term and was immediately exercised upon its issuance at the exercise price of $0.01 per share. 

The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the 
first  five  years,  and  9% per  annum  thereafter.    The  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  also  qualifies  as  Tier  1  capital  and  pays 
cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum.  The Series A and B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company 
at any time, subject to approval of the Federal Reserve.  Any redemption of the Series A and B Preferred Stock will be at 
the per share liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  

Prior to the third anniversary of the Treasury’s purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, unless the Series A Preferred 
Stock has been redeemed or the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to one or more third parties, 
the consent of the Treasury will be required for the Company to increase the dividend paid on its common stock above its 
most  recent  quarterly  dividend  of  $0.115  per  share  or  repurchase  shares  of  its  common  stock.    The  Series  A  and  B 
Preferred  Stock  are  non-voting  except  for  class  voting  rights  on  matters  that  would  adversely  affect  the  rights  of  the 
holders of the Series A and B Preferred Stock. 

For  accounting  purposes,  the  proceeds  of  the  $10,000,000  were  allocated  between  the  preferred  stock  and  the  warrant 
based on their relative fair values.  The entire discount on the preferred stock, created from the initial value assigned to the 
warrant, will be accreted over a five year period in a manner that produces a level preferred stock dividend yield.  At the 
end of the fifth year, the carrying amount of the preferred stock will equal its liquidation value. 

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk: 

The  Bank,  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  is  a  party  to  financial  instruments  with  off-balance  sheet  risk  to  meet  the 
financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. 
Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in 
the consolidated balance sheets.   

The  Bank's  exposure  to  credit  loss  in  the  event  of  nonperformance  by  the  other  party  to  the  financial  instrument  for 
unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments.  The 
Bank  uses  the  same  credit  policies  in  making  commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  on-balance  sheet 
instruments.   

A summary of the Bank's commitments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows (Amounts in thousands of dollars): 

Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit 
Standby letters of credit 

2009 
$       59,574      
           1,262 

2008 
$       59,316      
           1,517 

Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in 
the contract.  The agreements generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment 
of a fee.  Since many of the agreements are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts 
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-
by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based upon 
management's  credit  evaluation  of  the  counter-party.    Collateral  varies  but  may  include  accounts receivable,  inventory, 
property, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

12.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) 

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 Bank holds collateral, as detailed above, 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 Bank would be required to fund the commitment.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the 
Bank  could  be  required  to  make  is  represented  by  the  contractual  amount  shown  in  the  summary  above.    If  the 
commitment is funded the Bank would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, 
no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Bank’s potential obligations under these guarantees. 

The Company has executed contracts for the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market in the amount of $1,801,000 
and $7,013,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  These amounts include loans held for sale of $183,000 and 
$187,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively and loan commitments, included in the summary in this Note, 
of $1,618,000 and $6,826,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 

A  portion  of residential  mortgage  loans  sold to investors in the secondary  market are sold with recourse.  Specifically, 
certain loan sales agreements provide that if the borrower becomes 60 days or more delinquent during the first six months 
following the first payment due, and subsequently becomes 90 days or more delinquent during the first 12 months of the 
loan,  the  Bank  must  repurchase  the  loan  from  the  subject  investor.    The  Bank  did  not  repurchase  any  loans  from 
secondary  market investors  under the terms of these loan sales agreements during the years ended December 31, 2009, 
2008, and 2007. In the opinion of management, the risk of recourse to the Bank is not significant and, accordingly, no 
liability has been established. 

Concentration of credit risk: 

Aside  from  cash  on  hand  and  in-vault,  the  Company’s  cash  is  maintained  at  various  correspondent  banks.    The  total 
amount  of  cash  on  deposit  and  federal  funds  sold  exceeded  federal  insurance  limits  at  three  institutions  by  a  total  of 
approximately $2,370,000 as of December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, no material risk of loss exists due to 
the financial condition of the institutions.  

13.  BENEFITS 

The Company has a 401(k) plan, which is a tax qualified savings plan, to encourage its employees to save for retirement 
purposes or other contingencies.  All employees, working over 1,000 hours per year, of the Company and its subsidiaries 
are eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of one year of service  and attaining the age of 21.  The employee 
may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation before taxes in a traditional 401(k) and/or a percentage of their 
compensation after taxes using the subsidiary’s Roth 401(k) option.  Based upon profits, as determined by the subsidiary, 
a contribution may be made by the subsidiary.  Employees are 100% vested in the subsidiaries’ contribution to the plan 
after  five  years  of  service.    Employee  contributions  and  vested  subsidiary  contributions  may  be  withdrawn  only  on 
termination of employment, retirement, death or hardship withdrawal. 

Under the Employee Incentive Compensation Plan, the Bank is authorized at its discretion, pursuant to the provisions of 
the  plan,  to  establish  on  an  annual  basis,  a  bonus  fund,  which  will  be  distributed  to  certain  employees,  based  on  their 
performance.    The  Employee  Incentive  Compensation  Plan  does  not  become  effective  unless  the  Bank  exceeds 
established income levels. 

Contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 totaled $370,000, $325,000 and 
$295,000, respectively.  Contributions made to the incentive compensation plan for the years ended December 31, 2009, 
2008, and 2007 were $317,000, $259,000 and $247,000 respectively.

14.  DIVIDENDS AND REGULATORY CAPITAL 

The Company's stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the Board of Directors.  The ability 
of the Company to pay dividends in the future is dependent upon its receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries.  The  
subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is regulated by  financial regulatory statutes.  The timing and amount of dividends 
will  depend  on  earnings,  capital  requirements  and  financial  condition  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  as  well  as 
general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company and the subsidiary.  

Under  the  provisions  of  the  National  Bank  Act  the  Bank  may  not,  without  prior  approval  of  the  Comptroller  of  the 
Currency, declare dividends in excess of the total of the current and past two year's earnings less any dividends already 
paid  from  those  earnings.    In  addition,  as  described  in  Note  11,  under  provisions  of  the  Treasury  Capital  Purchase 
Program, the consent of the Treasury will be required for the Company to increase the dividend paid on its common stock 
above the most recent quarterly dividend of $.115 per share. 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are  subject  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  federal 
banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional 
discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the  Company's  financial 
statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company 
and  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative  measures  of  the  Bank's  assets,  liabilities,  and 
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Company’s and Bank’s capital                      
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators and components, risk weightings, 
and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. 

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy  require  the  Company  and  Bank  to  maintain 
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of 
December 31, 2009, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. 

The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized 
under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action.    To  be  categorized  as  adequately  or  well  capitalized  the 
Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There 
are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

            The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value,  
            establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosure of fair value measurements.  Effective January 1,  
            2009, the Company adopted the portion of the Topic which requires disclosure of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial   
            liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The fair value hierarchy set forth in the  
            Topic is as follows:    

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to 

access as of the measurement date. 

Level 2:   Significant  other  observable  inputs  other  than  Level  1  prices  such  as  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities;  quoted  prices  in  markets  that  are  not  active;  or  other  inputs  that  are  observable  or  can  be 
corroborated by observable market data. 

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that 

market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of 
such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.  

Investment securities available for sale:  Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified 
within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds and exchange 
traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted 
prices  of  securities  with  similar  characteristics,  or  discounted  cash  flow.  Level  2  securities  would  include  U.S.  agency 
securities, mortgage−backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset  
backed  and  other  securities.  In  certain  cases  where  there  is  limited  activity  or  less  transparency  around  inputs  to  the 
valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  

Impaired loans:  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan 
is  considered  impaired  and  an  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  established.  The  specific  reserves  for  collateral  dependent 
impaired  loans  are  based  on  the  fair  value  of  the  collateral  less  estimated  costs  to  sell.  The  fair  value  of  collateral  is 
determined  based  on  appraisals.  In  some  cases,  adjustments  are  made  to  the  appraised  values  due  to  various  factors 
including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the 
collateral. When significant adjustments are based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been 
categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

16.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued) 

Other real estate owned:  Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of the principal amount of the loan outstanding at 
the time of acquisition, plus any acquisition costs, or the estimated fair value of the property, less disposal costs.  The fair 
value of the property is determined based upon appraisals.  As with impaired loans, if significant adjustments are made to 
the  appraised  value,  based  upon  unobservable  inputs,  the  resulting  fair  value  measurement  is  categorized  as  a  level  3 
measurement. 

Interest rate swap:  The fair value is estimated by a third party using input that are observable or that can be corroborated 
by observable market data, and therefore, are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. 

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:   

The  following  table  summarizes  assets  measured  at fair  value on  a  recurring  basis  as  of  December 31,  2009  and  2008, 
segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS    

The  Financial  Instruments  Topic  of  the  FASB  Accounting  Standards  Codification,  requires  disclosure  of  fair  value 
information  about  financial  instruments,  whether  or  not  recognized  in  the  balance  sheet,  for  which  it  is  practicable  to 
estimate that value.  Fair value is determined under the framework discussed in the preceding note.  The Topic excludes 
certain  financial  instruments  and  all  nonfinancial  instruments  from  its  disclosure  requirements.    Accordingly,  the 
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. 

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in  estimating  the  fair  value  of  its  financial 
instruments: 

Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due 
from banks and federal funds sold equal their fair values. 

Securities:  Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not 
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock:  The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank Stock is equal to its carrying value. 

Loans and loans held for sale:  For variable loans fair values are equal to carrying values.  The  fair values for all other 
types  of  loans  are  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow  analyses,  using  interest  rates  currently  being  offered  for  loans 
with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.  The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market 
prices of similar loans sold in the secondary market. 

Accrued interest receivable and payable:  The fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable is equal to its carrying 
value.

17.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 

Deposits:    The  fair  values  for  demand  and  savings  deposits  equal  their  carrying  amounts,  which  represent  the  amount 
payable  on  demand.    Fair  values  for  time  deposits  are  estimated  using  a  discounted  cash  flow  calculation  that  applies 
interest rates currently being offered on time deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time 
deposits. 

Securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase:    The  fair  value  of  securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase  is 
considered to equal carrying value due to the borrowings short-term nature. 

Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances  and  junior  subordinated  debentures:    The  fair  value  of  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank 
advances and junior subordinated debentures is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates  
currently being offered for similar borrowings.   

Commitments to extend credit:  The fair value of these commitments is not material. 

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 
are as follows (Amounts in thousands of dollars): 

Financial assets:   
  Cash and due from banks 
  Securities held to maturity 
  Securities available for sale 
  Federal funds sold 
  Loans, net 
  Accrued interest receivable 

Financial liabilities: 
  Non-interest-bearing demand deposits 
  Interest-bearing demand deposits 
  Savings deposits 
  Time deposits 
  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 
  Federal Home Loan Bank advances 
  Junior Subordinated Debentures 
  Accrued interest payable
