the board enables a shareholder to vote for the election of the nominees proposed by the board, to withhold authority to vote for the nominees being proposed, or to vote for the election of certain nominees. In the election of directors, those
receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected even if they do not receive a majority. All other matters coming before the Meeting will be determined by majority vote of those present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. </FONT></P>

discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of
shares necessary for approval. Shares represented by such &#147;broker non-votes&#148; will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

consider candidates recommended by shareholders. This policy is based, among other things, on the fact that Financial has been an operating entity for less than three years and Financial&#146;s sole business at this time is the ownership of the
Bank, which itself has been in existence for less than seven years. The majority of the incumbent directors were organizers of the Bank. Financial believes it to be beneficial for the board of directors to be comprised of individuals with the types
of expertise and scope currently represented on the board and during these critical first years of the Bank and Financial, the Nominating Committees are best positioned to identify such individuals. Additionally, during the Bank&#146;s organization,
to insure accountability, the Bank&#146;s regulators expressed a strong preference that the board of directors not consist of more than eight to ten members. The Bank&#146;s experience has confirmed the wisdom of this advice. The Nominating
Committee considers share ownership, business experience and expertise, character, particular goals and needs of Financial for additional competencies or characteristics, educational background, and board experience in evaluating potential nominees.

Under the terms of the lease, the annual rent for the Main Street Branch is approximately $120,000 and the landlord is responsible for payment of taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities. The lease has an initial term of ten years from the date
of acceptance. Subject to certain rent increases set forth in the lease, the Bank has the option to extend the lease by two additional five year periods. During the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, the Bank made lease payments totaling
approximately $108,331 on this lease. The Bank obtained an independent third-party appraisal that concluded that the rate that the Bank is paying is equal to or below market rate rent for the space. The transaction was on terms favorable to the
