The Registrant expects to report net income of approximately $33,000 for the year ended September 30, 2009 compared to net loss of $190,000 for the prior year.  The change, when comparing the two years ended, is primarily the result of increases in net interest of income after provision for loan losses and noninterest income of $2.7 million and $209,000, respectively, offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $2.7 million.  The primary factors for the $2.7 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses, when comparing the two years ended, were an increase in interest income of $485,000 and decreases in interest expense and provision for loan losses of $1.5 million and $721,000, respectively.  The primary factors for the $2.7 million increase in noninterest expenses, when comparing the two years ended, were increases in compensation and benefits, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums, charitable contributions and other operating expenses of $683,000, $304,000, $255,000, $1.2 million and $392,000, respectively.
