AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1—BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed on March 31, 2010 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Note 2— PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., First Federal of Northern Michigan (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Financial Services & Mortgage Corporation (“FSMC”) and FFNM Agency. FSMC invests in real estate, which includes leasing, selling, developing, and maintaining real estate properties. The main activity of FFNM Agency is to collect the stream of income associated with the sale of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield override business to the Grotenhuis Group (as discussed further below). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, on February 27, 2009 First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. announced that it had sold the InsuranCenter of Alpena (“ICA”) for $1,635,000. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard 144 “Accounting for the impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002, the financial position and results of operations of ICA are “discontinued operations.” For further information, please refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As a result of the transaction, the Company reduced its full-time employees by 14 positions, or 13% of the Company’s workforce. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $57,000 upon the closing of the sale. The Company retained the residual income stream associated with the April 2008 sale of its wholesale Blue Cross/Blue Shield override business to the Grotenhuis Group.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying value and fair value of $28,764,119 and $24,265,000, respectively, were pledged to secure our REPO sweep accounts, FHLB advances and our line of credit at the Federal Reserve.

Gross proceeds from the sale of securities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $10,354,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, resulting in gross gains of $497,000 and $1,000, respectively and gross losses of $0 and $0, respectively.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 the Company restructured its investment portfolio by selling 16 bonds, mostly issued by Freddie Mac (FHLMC) and Fannie Mae (FNMA). Although these bonds have government guarantees, they are only implied guarantees; hence the bonds are not truly backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The bonds sold were replaced with GNMA bonds, which are supported by the explicit full faith and credit of the United States government. By selling the municipal, FNMA and FHLMC bonds the Company was able to accomplish two things:

Reduce its overall credit risk in the investment portfolio.

Improve its risk-based capital position as bonds sold were 20% risk-weighted while the replacement bonds are 0% risk-weighted.

The Company concluded this move was prudent and necessary due to the following reasons:

Because of the timing of the restructuring, the Company was able to capture some previously unrealized gains.

The Company did forego a higher yield (approximately 10 basis points), but was able to minimize the yield loss by buying longer-term GNMAs, which was possible because of the minimal level of interest-rate risk inherent in the Company’s balance sheet.

The following is a summary of temporarily impaired investments that have been impaired for less than and more than twelve months as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The unrealized losses on the securities held in the portfolio are not considered other than temporary and have not been recognized into income. This decision is based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold any potentially impaired security until maturity. The performance of the security is based on the contractual terms of the agreement, the extent of the impairment and the financial condition and credit quality of the issuer. The decline in market value is considered temporary and a result of changes in interest rates and other market variables.

Note 5—DIVIDENDS

We suspended our quarterly dividend effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for earnings and funds to pay dividends on common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any reinstatement of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered by the Board of Directors.

Note 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-10, “Shareholder Based Payments”, which requires that the grant-date fair value of awarded stock options be expensed over the requisite service period. The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 127,491 shares of common stock (retroactively adjusted for the exchange ratio applied in the Company’s 2005 stock offering and related second-step conversion). The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders , permits the award of up to 242,740 shares of common stock of which the maximum number to be granted as Stock Options is 173,386 and the maximum to be granted as Restricted Stock Awards is 69,354. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on five years of continual service and have ten year contractual terms. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company awarded no shares under the 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan. Shares issued under the 2006 Plan and exercised pursuant to the exercise of stock options may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury stock.

Stock Options - A summary of option activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is presented below:

						Weighted-Average
				Weighted-		Remaining
				Average		Contractual Term	Aggregate
Options	Shares			Exercise Price		(Years)	Intrinsic Value

Outstanding at January 1, 2010		188,132		$	9.47

Options Exercisable at September 30, 2010		148,774		$	9.46	4.38	$0

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested options as of September 30, 2010, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, is presented below:

				Weighted-Average

Forfeited		(2,000	)	$	2.10

Nonvested at September 30, 2010		37,358		$	2.10

As of September 30, 2010 there was $45,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, related to nonvested options under the Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $67,608.

Restricted Stock Awards - As of September 30, 2010 there was $76,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2006 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years.

Note 7 – COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contracted amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $30.6 million. These commitments included $14.9 million for permanent one-to-four family dwellings, $624,000 for non-residential loans, $276,000 of undisbursed loan proceeds for construction of one-to-four family dwellings, $4.3 million of undisbursed lines of credit on home equity loans, $1.1 million of unused credit card lines, $7.0 million of unused commercial lines of credit, $677,000 of undisbursed commercial construction, $5,000 of unused letters of credit and $1.7 million in unused bounce protection.

Note 8 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s principal activities include banking and, prior to February 2009, the sale of insurance products through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, ICA. The Company sold the majority of the assets of ICA on February 27, 2009 (see Note 1). The Bank provides financial products including retail and commercial loans as well as retail and commercial deposits. ICA received commissions from the sale of various insurance products including health, life, and property. The segments were determined based on the nature of the products provided to customers.

The financial information for each operating segment is reported on the basis used internally to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The allocations have been consistently applied for all periods presented. Revenues and expenses between affiliates have been transacted at rates that unaffiliated parties would pay. The only transaction between the segments related to a deposit on behalf of ICA included in the Bank. The interest income and interest expense for this transaction has been eliminated. All other transactions were with external customers. The information presented is not necessarily indicative of the segment’s financial condition and results of operations if they were independent entities.

As noted above, the majority of the assets of the Company’s segment, ICA, were sold on February 27, 2009; therefore no segment information is reported for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 or for the three- or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010.

Note 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FASB ASC 820-10 – Fair Value Measurements. The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

Disclosures concerning assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The Company also has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include non-homogenous loans that are considered impaired and real estate owned. For impaired loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-10, the Company has estimated the fair value using Level 3 inputs using discounted cash flow projections. Other Real Estate Owned consists of property received in full or partial satisfaction of a receivable. The Company utilizes independent appraisals or broker price opinions to estimate the fair value of these properties.

Impaired Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, on occasion, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all of the principal and interest due under the original terms of the loan may not be collected. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned: At the time of acquisition, other real estate owned is recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which becomes the property's new basis. Subsequent write-downs to reflect declines in value since the time of acquisition may occur from time to time and are recorded in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the property used at and subsequent to the time of acquisition is typically determined by a third party appraisal of the property (nonrecurring Level 3).

The estimated fair values and related carrying or notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. FASB ASC 825-10 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

Investment Securities Available for Sale: Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity: The Company does not record investment securities held to maturity at fair value on a recurring basis. Therefore, when certain securities held to maturity were measured at fair value as discussed below, the Company’s municipal bonds classified as held to maturity are fair valued using a discount rate adjustment technique utilizing an imputed discount rate between current market interest rate spreads and market interest rate spreads at the approximate last date an active market existed for the these securities. Relevant inputs to the model include market spread data in consideration of credit characteristics, collateral type, credit rating and other relevant features. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, requiring adjustments for factors such as prepayment speeds, liquidity risk, default rates, credit loss and the security’s credit rating. In instances where market action is inactive or inputs to the valuation are more opaque, securities are classified as nonrecurring Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Therefore, when management determines the fair value of an impaired held to maturity security through utilization of this type of model, the Company records the impaired security as nonrecurring Level 3.

Loans Held for Sale: Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Loans Receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one- to four-family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial, and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit Liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

REPO Sweep Accounts: The fair values disclosed for REPO Sweeps are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).

Long-term Borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Note 10 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Reserve for Credit Losses Disclosures: In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that requires companies to provide more information about the credit risks inherent in its loan and lease portfolios and how management considers those credit risks in determining the allowance for credit losses. A company would be required to disclose its accounting policies, the methods it uses to determine the components of the allowance for credit losses, and qualitative and quantitative information about the credit quality of its loan portfolio, such as aging information and credit quality indicators. Both new and existing disclosures would be required either by portfolio segment or class, based on how a company develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages its credit exposure. The guidance is effective for all financing receivables, including loans and trade accounts receivables. However, short-term trade accounts receivables, receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value, and debt securities are exempt from these disclosure requirements. For public companies, any period-end disclosure requirements are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Any disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. As this guidance affects only disclosures, the adoption of this guidance on December 31, 2010 for period-end disclosures and January 1, 2011 for intra-period activity is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements: In January 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of fair value measurements by class (rather than by major category) of assets and liabilities; disclosure of transfers in or out of levels 1, 2, and 3; disclosure of activity in level 3 fair value measurements on a gross, rather than net, basis; and other disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure of level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. As this guidance affects only disclosures, the adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2010 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the Company’s fair value disclosures.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

PART Ι - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and the results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

OVERVIEW

The Company operates as a community-oriented financial institution that accepts deposits from the general public in the communities surrounding its 8 full-service banking centers. The deposited funds, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, are used by the Company to originate loans. The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of one-to-four family residential properties. The Company also originates commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans, automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and a variety of other consumer loans.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $72,000 compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the year earlier period, an increase in earnings of $3.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income from continuing operations was $593,000 compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Total assets decreased by $7.8 million, or 3.4%, to $225.7 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Investment securities available for sale increased by $1.0 million or 3.1% from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Net loans receivable decreased $9.5 million or 5.6% during that same time period. Total deposits decreased $1.5 million, or 1.0% from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010 and REPO sweep accounts increased by $1.0 million, or 18.1% during that same time period. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $7.4 million or 16.7% from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Equity increased by $805,000, or 3.5% to $23.9 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of September 30, 2010, there have been no changes in the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial sections of its 2009 Annual Report. Management believes its critical accounting policies relate to the Company’s investment securities, allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets.

Management has determined that the valuation of deferred tax assets represented an additional critical accounting policy at September 30, 2010. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent differences between when a tax benefit or expense is recognized for financial reporting purposes and on our tax return. Deferred tax assets are periodically assessed for recoverability. The Company records a valuation allowance if it believes, based on available evidence, that it is “more likely than not” that the future tax assets recognized will not be realized before their expiration. The amount of the deferred tax asset recognized and considered realizable could be reduced if projected taxable income is not achieved due to various factors such as unfavorable business conditions. If projected taxable income is not expected to be achieved, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized in its future tax returns. As of September 30, 2010 the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million related to its deferred tax assets.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND DECEMBER 31, 2009

ASSETS: Total assets decreased $7.8 million, or 3.4%, to $225.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $233.5 million at December 31, 2009. During that nine-month period the following changes occurred: investment securities available for sale increased $1.0 million, or 3.1%, to $34.8 million; cash and cash equivalents increased $1.9 million or 60.0% to $5.0 million; and net loans receivable decreased $9.5 million, or 5.6%, to $161.7 million. Mortgage loans decreased by $7.4 million, consumer loans decreased by $1.7 million and commercial loans decreased by $1.1 million as loan originations declined due to weaker economic conditions in our primary lending markets and due to our sale of the majority of our mortgage loans into the secondary market.

LIABILITIES: Deposits decreased $1.5 million, or 1.0%, to $156.6 million at September 30, 2010 from $158.1 million at December 31, 2009. The composition of our deposits changed markedly during the nine-month period. Our liquid certificate of deposit product (from which customers can make a penalty-free withdrawal with seven days advance written notice) decreased by $8.9 million and our non interest-bearing checking accounts decreased by $752,000 during this time period. Partially offsetting those decreases were increases in the following deposit products: $1.3 million in our traditional certificate of deposit accounts (which cannot be redeemed before maturity without penalty); $6.2 million in money market accounts; $933,000 in savings deposit accounts; and $536,000 in NOW accounts. During this same time period, Repo sweep accounts increased $979,000 or 18.1% to $6.4 million. FHLB advances decreased $7.4 million, or 16.7%, to $37.0 million at September 30, 2010 from $44.4 million at December 31, 2009 due to decreases in our assets.

EQUITY: Stockholders’ equity increased to $23.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $23.1 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $805,000. The increase in stockholders’ equity was mainly attributable to our net income for the nine-month period of $593,000. The unrealized gain on available for sale securities, net of tax, was $469,000 at September 30, 2010 as compared to $423,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $46,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

General: Net income from continuing operations increased by $3.9 million to $72,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from a net loss of $3.8 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009. This increase was attributable to two main factors: a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.6 million to $353,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2009 and the establishment of a $2.0 million valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.

Interest Income: Interest income was $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $3.1 million for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to two factors: a decrease in the average balance of our interest-earning assets due to a reduction in the size of our loan portfolios and a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets due in part to lower market interest rates. The average balance of non-mortgage loans decreased $11.5 million quarter over quarter, as we continued to experience a decline in loan originations due to economic conditions in our market areas. The average balance of mortgage loans decreased $7.5 million period over period as we continued to sell a majority of those loans into the secondary market. The declines were partially offset by an increase in average balances of AFS investment securities of $4.3 million. The yield on our interest-earning assets declined from 5.58% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 to 5.53% for the same period in 2010.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $851,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense for the three-month period was due primarily to a $9.4 million decrease in the average balances of certificates of deposits period over period and a 75 basis point decline in average rate on those deposits due mainly to higher-costing certificates which matured and re-priced lower in the lower market interest rate environment. In addition, we experienced a $3.3 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances for the three months ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. The average rate on those advances decreased 101 basis points to 2.94% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the year-earlier period.

The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank during the periods indicated.

Change in net interest income	$	(155	)	$	318		$	163

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $163,000 to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $12.8 million, or 5.8%, to $209.5 million when compared to the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $7.1 million, or 3.6%, to $190.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $197.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.53% for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 from 5.58% for the same period ended in 2009. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.76% from 2.43% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease in asset yields on interest earning assets, offset by a greater decrease in our cost of funds resulted in a increase in our net interest margin of 52 basis points to 3.93% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 from 3.41% for same period in 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The provision for loan losses amounted to $353,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and $3.0 million for the comparable period in 2009. The decrease for the three-month period related primarily to three factors:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, two large commercial relationships were placed on non-accrual status, resulting in additional provision totaling almost $1.5 million during that quarter.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we established approximately $500,000 in specific reserves on two out-of-state commercial participation loans due to new information received.

Despite the $500,000 in specific reserves, our provision for loan losses was only $353,000 because our history of commercial charge-offs resulted in a higher estimated loss factor being applied to our entire portfolio of commercial loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010 when a declining commercial charge-off history resulted in a decrease in the estimated loss factor applied to the portfolio of commercial loans.

The following table sets forth the details of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

Non Interest Income: Non interest income was $717,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $226,000 or 46.0% from the same period in 2009. This was primarily attributable to an increase in mortgage banking activities income of $203,000 period over period income as refinance activity was significantly higher for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year period. We sold the majority of those refinanced mortgage loans into the secondary market.

Non Interest Expense: Non interest expense increased to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with troubled credits. In addition, our compensation and benefits increased $108,000 period over period due mainly to an increase in the cost of funding our frozen defined benefit pension plan and also due to changes in our staffing structure. Partially offsetting the increase in other expenses, our FDIC premiums decreased slightly for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to a decrease in deposits.

Income Taxes: The Company had no federal income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2009. Federal income tax expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 was impacted by the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets of $2.0 million. The Company recorded this valuation allowance because it concluded, based on currently available evidence, that it is “more likely than not” that the future tax assets recognized will be not be realized before their expiration.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

General: Net income from continuing operations increased $4.2 million to $593,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in earnings period over period was primarily attributable to the following factors: a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.5 million to $959,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2009 and a valuation allowance of $2.0 million on our deferred tax assets during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. In addition, non-interest expenses increased $414,000 period over period, due primarily to expenses related to troubled credits.

Interest Income: Interest income was $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $9.6 million for the comparable period in 2009. This decrease of $1.0 million, or 9.5%, in interest income was due in large part to decreases of $8.6 million in average balances of mortgage loans and $13.0 million in non-mortgage loans period over period. In addition, the over-all yield on interest earning assets decreased 17 basis points to 5.46% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 5.63% for the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $2.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to decreases in the average balance of and interest rates on our certificates of deposit period over period. We experienced a $10.8 million decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 and the average rate on those certificates of deposit decreased 92 basis points to 2.30% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the year-earlier period. In addition, our cost of funds relating to our Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased 109 basis points to 2.94% nine-month period over nine-month period.

The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank during the periods indicated.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $394,000 to $6.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, average interest-earning assets decreased $15.1 million, or 6.7%, when compared to the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $8.3 million, or 4.1% for the same period. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.46% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 from 5.63% for the same period ended in 2009. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.88% from 2.67% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The net result of the 17 basis point decrease in asset yields and 79 basis point decrease in the cost of funds was a net interest rate margin increase of 47 basis points to 3.75% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from 3.28% for the same period in 2009.

Delinquent Loans and Nonperforming Assets: The following table sets forth information regarding loans delinquent 90 days or more and real estate owned/other repossessed assets of the Bank at the dates indicated. As of the dates indicated, the Bank did not have any material restructured loans within the context of SFAS 15.

All of the Bank's loans delinquent more than 90 days are classified as nonperforming.

(2)

Represents the net book value of property acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Upon acquisition, this property is recorded at the lower of its fair market value or the principal balance of the related loan.

Non-accrual loans decreased by $3.0 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets decreased by $5.5 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010. A large portion of this decrease related to three commercial loans totaling $2.7 million which had matured and were 90 or more days delinquent at December 31, 2009. The Bank has since rewritten these loans at market terms and rates and obtained additional collateral. These loans have since maintained current status. Also, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a $469,000 commercial loan moved back to accruing status after more than 12 months of current payments. In addition to these positive factors which affected the decrease in non-performing assets were a large non-accrual commercial loan relationship totaling approximately $2.4 million for which we took a $751,000 charge-down to net realizable value during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, approximately $780,000 in other loan charge-offs and $250,000 in additional write-downs on other real-estate owned due to receipt of updated information on value.

We have taken a variety of steps over the past three years to address the credit issues identified above (elevated levels of non-performing loans and other real estate and repossessed assets), including the following:

An enhanced quarterly watch credit review process to proactively manage higher risk loans;

The addition of a Chief Credit Officer to oversee loan underwriting and collection processes;

The creation of a Senior Loan Committee to review all commercial loans above individual lender authority;

Annual third-party commercial loan review function which provides overall portfolio and individual loan feedback;

Quarterly review of Criticized Asset Reports for each credit over $50,000;

Developed quarterly targets for reducing levels of non-performing assets including an action plan for each non-performing asset; and

Expanded our Collection Department to enhance our call program for delinquent loans.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses amounted to $959,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and $3.4 million for the comparable period in 2009. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 3.79% at September 30, 2010 and 6.73% at December 31, 2009. As a percent of total assets, total nonperforming assets decreased to 4.36% at September 30, 2010 from 6.58% at December 31, 2009. Total nonperforming assets decreased by $5.5 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income was $2.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $508,000 or 24.7%, from the same period in 2009. The nine-month results reflected a $497,000 gain on sale of investments as a result of a restructuring of the investment portfolio in an effort to reduce credit risk as well as a $200,000 settlement on a lawsuit. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, we experienced a decrease of $157,000 in mortgage banking activities from the prior year period. While mortgage banking activities were stronger in the first two quarters of 2009 as compared to the comparable period in 2010, historically low interest rates continuing into the third quarter of 2010 have resulted in greater mortgage banking activities income in that quarter than in the same quarter in 2009. This has resulted in a narrowing of the gap to only a $157,000 difference between 2009 and 2010 year-to-date mortgage banking activities income.

Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense was $7.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to $6.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with troubled credits. Partially offsetting the increase in other expense, our FDIC premiums decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to a FDIC special assessment of $108,000 paid during the second quarter of 2009.

Income Taxes: The Company had no federal income tax expense related to continuing operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2009. Federal income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 was impacted by the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets of $2.0 million. The Company recorded this valuation allowance because it concluded, based on currently available evidence, that it is “more likely than not” that the future tax assets recognized will be not be realized before their expiration.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s current liquidity position is more than adequate to fund expected asset growth. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, proceeds from principal and interest payments, prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities and sale of long-term fixed-rate mortgages into the secondary market. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Liquidity represents the amount of an institution’s assets that can be quickly and easily converted into cash without significant loss. The most liquid assets are cash, short-term U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities and certificates of deposit. The Company is required to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement may be varied at the direction of the OTS. Regulations currently in effect require that the Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Company’s objective for liquidity is to be above 20%. Liquidity as of September 30, 2010 was $33.4 million, or 29.7%, compared to $27.5 million, or 22.0%, at December 31, 2009. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. The liquidity calculated by the Company includes additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB. This borrowing capacity is based on pledged collateral. As of September 30, 2010, the Bank had unused borrowing capacity totaling $17.5 million at the FHLB based on the pledged collateral.

The Company intends to retain in its portfolio certain originated residential mortgage loans (primarily adjustable rate, balloon and shorter term fixed rate mortgage loans) and to generally sell the remainder in the secondary market. The Bank will from time to time participate in or originate commercial real estate loans, including real estate development loans. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 the Company originated $33.1 million in residential mortgage loans, of which $5.2 million were retained in portfolio while the remainder were sold in the secondary market or are being held for sale. This compares to $50.2 million in originations during the first nine months of 2009 of which $7.7 million were retained in portfolio. The Company also originated $8.7 million of commercial loans and $3.1 million of consumer loans in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $14.8 million of commercial loans and $3.2 million of consumer loans for the same period in 2009. Of total loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, mortgage loans comprised 45.0% and 45.3%, commercial loans 43.1% and 42.3% and consumer loans 11.9% and 12.3% at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Deposits are a primary source of funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. At September 30, 2010 deposits funded 69.4% of the Company’s total assets compared to 67.7% at December 31, 2009. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at September 30, 2010 totaled $42.3 million. Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank monitors the deposit rates offered by competition in the area and sets rates that take into account the prevailing market conditions along with the Bank’s liquidity position. Moreover, management believes that the growth in assets is not expected to require significant in-flows of liquidity. As such, the Bank does not expect to be a significant market leader in rates paid for liabilities.

Borrowings may be used to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal sources of funds or for deposit outflows at more than projected levels. Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support increased lending or investment activities. At September 30, 2010 the Company had $37.0 million in FHLB advances. FHLB borrowings as a percentage of total assets were 16.4% at September 30, 2010 as compared to 19.0% at December 31, 2009. The Company has sufficient available collateral to obtain additional advances of $17.5 million as of September 30, 2010.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2010 was $23.9 million, or 10.6% of total assets, compared to $23.1 million, or 9.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2009 (See “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity”). The Bank is subject to certain capital-to-assets requirements in accordance with OTS regulations. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2010. The following table summarizes the Bank’s actual capital with the regulatory capital requirements and with requirements to be “Well Capitalized” under prompt corrective action provisions, as of September 30, 2010:
