NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of Middlefield Banc Corp. ("Company") include its two bank subsidiaries, The Middlefield Banking Company (“MB”) and Emerald Bank (“EB”), and a non-bank asset resolution subsidiary EMORECO, Inc. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that the Company considers necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the necessary informational disclosures and footnotes as required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included with Middlefield’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (File No. 000-32561). The results of Middlefield’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of Middlefield’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company has provided the necessary disclosures in Note 4.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update improve the comparability, clarity, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. All entities that report items of comprehensive income, in any period presented, will be affected by the changes in this Update. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has provided the necessary disclosure in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topics (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment . The objective of this Update is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic, that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. This ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities . The amendments in this Update affect all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either EFPlaceholder Section 210-20-45 or EFPlaceholder Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The requirements amend the disclosure requirements on offsetting in EFPlaceholder Section 210-20-50. This information will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this Update. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 . In order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Update 2011-05. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05. All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities should begin applying these requirements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has no unvested stock options outstanding and no unrecognized stock-based compensation costs outstanding as of June 30, 2012.

Stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Outstanding, January 1	2012 — $ 88,774		26.81	89,077	$	27.87
Granted	-		-	9,000		17.55
Exercised	-		-	-		-
Forfeited	(420	)	36.86	(7,549	)	29.22
Outstanding, June 30	88,354		26.76	90,528		26.73

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company provides dual presentation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share uses net income as reported as the numerator and the actual average shares outstanding as the denominator. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.

There are no convertible securities that would affect the denominator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. The following tables set forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

2012		2011		2012		2011
Weighted average common shares outstanding	2,108,863		1,837,301		2,031,187		1,824,431
Average treasury stock shares	(189,530	)	(189,530	)	(189,530	)	(189,530	)
Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate basic earnings per share	1,919,333		1,647,771		1,841,657		1,634,901
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share	1,872		149		1,208		75
Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share	1,921,205		1,647,920		1,842,865		1,634,976

Options to purchase 88,354 shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $17.55 to $40.24, were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Of those options, 9,000 were considered dilutive based on the market price exceeding the strike price. The remaining 79,354 options had no dilutive effect on the earnings per share.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the remaining options to purchase 81,528 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $22.33 to $40.24 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive due to the strike price being greater than the average market price for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Total options to purchase shares of common stock were 90,528 at prices ranging from $17.55 to $40.24 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three broad levels defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are as follows:

Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II: Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III: Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following tables present the assets measured on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

	Level I	June 30, 2012 — Level II	Level III	Total
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis:
U.S. government agency securities	$ -	$ 13,572	$ -	$ 13,572
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	-	88,587	-	88,587
Mortgage-backed securities in government-sponsored entities		64,274		64,274
Private-label mortgage-backed securities	-	6,262	-	6,262
Total debt securities	-	172,695	-	172,695
Equity securities in financial institutions	5	746	-	751
Total	$ 5	$ 173,441	$ -	$ 173,446

	Level I	December 31, 2011 — Level II	Level III	Total
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis:
U.S. government agency securities	$ -	$ 31,933	$ -	$ 31,933
Obligations of states and political subdivisions	-	88,400	-	88,400
Mortgage-backed securities in government-sponsored entities		65,573	-	65,573
Private-label mortgage-backed securities	-	7,321	-	7,321
Total debt securities	-	193,227	-	193,227
Equity securities in financial institutions	5	745	-	750
Total	$ 5	$ 193,972	$ -	$ 193,977

The Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service which represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2).

Financial instruments are considered Level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The Company has no securities considered to be Level III as of June 30, 2012.

The Company uses prices compiled by third party vendors due to the recent stabilization in the markets along with improvements in third party pricing methodology that have narrowed the variances between third party vendor prices and actual market prices.

The following tables present the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loan include: quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs; observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. Since many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.

The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Accrued Interest Receivable, Accrued Interest Payable, and Short-Term Borrowings

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies .

Investment Securities Available-for-sale

The fair value of investment securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities. Fair value for certain private-label collateralized mortgage obligations was determined utilizing discounted cash flow models, due to the absence of a current market to provide reliable market quotes for the instruments.

Loans

The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were used as estimates for fair value.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

The fair values of certificates of deposit and other borrowed funds are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities. Demand, savings, and money market deposits are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year-end.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure.

There were 10 and 51 securities that were considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2012 and 2011.

On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances indicating that a security with an unrealized loss has suffered other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) . A debt security is considered impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis at the reporting date. OTTI losses are recognized in earnings when the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. However, even if the Company does not expect to sell a debt security, it must evaluate expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred.

An unrealized loss is generally deemed to be other than temporary and a credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. As a result the credit loss component of an OTTI is recorded as a component of investment securities gains (losses) in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income, while the remaining portion of the impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income, provided the Company does not intend to sell the underlying debt security and it is “more likely than not” that the Company will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery.

Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, and state and political subdivisions accounted for more than 96% of the total available-for-sale portfolio as of June 30, 2012 and no credit losses are expected, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. federal government and the lack of significant unrealized loss positions within the obligations of state and political subdivisions security portfolio. The Company’s assessment was concentrated mainly on private-label collateralized mortgage obligations of approximately $6.3 million for which the Company evaluates credit losses on a quarterly basis. The gross unrealized gain position related to these private-label collateralized mortgage obligations amounted to $484,000 and the gross unrealized loss position was $41,000 on June 30, 2012. The Company considered the following factors in determining whether a credit loss exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover:

•	The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis.
•	Changes in the near term prospects of the underlying collateral of a security such as changes in default rates, loss severity given default and significant changes in prepayment assumptions;
•	The level of cash flows generated from the underlying collateral supporting the principal and interest payments of the debt securities; and
•	Any adverse change to the credit conditions and liquidity of the issuer, taking into consideration the latest information available about the overall financial condition of the issuer, credit ratings, recent legislation and government actions affecting the issuer’s industry and actions taken by the issuer to deal with the present economic climate.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no available-for-sale debt securities with an unrealized loss that suffered OTTI.

The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The portfolio is segmented into Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”), Real Estate Construction, Real Estate - Mortgage which is further segmented into Residential and Commercial real estate, and Consumer Installment Loans. The C&I loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers. The residential mortgage loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of residential homeowners. The commercial mortgage loan segment consists of loans made for the purposed of financing the activities of commercial real estate owners and operators. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of installment loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $150,000 and if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Special Mention or Substandard. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. The Company does not separately evaluate individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. The method is selected on a loan-by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. The evaluation of the need and amount of a specific allocation of the allowance and whether a loan can be removed from impairment status is made on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on impaired loans does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition.

The following tables present impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary (in thousands):

Management uses a nine point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first five categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories used by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Credit Department performs an annual review of all commercial relationships $200,000 or greater. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is included in the review on an ongoing basis. The Company has an experienced Loan Review Department that continually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. The Company engages an external consultant to conduct loan reviews on a semi-annual basis. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $250,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $125,000. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a quarterly basis. Loans in the Special Mention and Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the internal risk rating system (in thousands):

	Pass	Special Mention	Substandard	Doubtful	Total Loans

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of nonperforming loans.

The Company’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance. The total of the two components represents the Company’s ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.

The classes described above, which are based on the purpose code assigned to each loan, provide the starting point for the ALL analysis. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity at the purpose code level. A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a defined number of consecutive historical quarters. Consumer and Commercial pools currently use a rolling 8 quarters.

Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides further detail to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the notes and financial statements presented in this report.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

General. The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2012 were $649.8 million, a decrease of $4.7 million or .7% from December 31, 2011. Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $20.5 million while cash and due from banks and net loans increased $15.2 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The decrease in total assets coincided with a decrease in total liabilities of $10.6 million or 1.7%. Stockholders’ equity increased $5.9 million or 12.5%.

Cash on hand and due from banks. Cash on hand and due from banks and Federal funds sold represent cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.5 million or 24.6% to $42.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $34.4 million at December 31, 2011. Deposits from customers into savings and checking accounts, loan and security repayments and proceeds from borrowed funds typically increase these accounts. Decreases result from customer withdrawals, new loan originations, security purchases and repayments of borrowed funds.

Investment securities. Investment securities available-for-sale on June 30, 2012 totaled $173.4 million, a decrease of $20.5 million or 10.6% from $194.0 million at December 31, 2011 . During this period the Company recorded sales, repayments, calls, and maturities of available-for-sale securities of $56.2 million, consisting of mortgage - backed securities, municipal and U. S. government bonds. Offsetting the outflow of securities were purchases of $34.7 million.

Loans receivable. The loans receivable category consists primarily of single family mortgage loans used to purchase or refinance personal residences located within the Company’s market area and commercial real estate loans used to finance properties that are used in the borrowers’ businesses or to finance investor-owned rental properties, and to a lesser extent, construction and consumer loans. Net loans receivable increased $8.1 million or 2.0% to $403.1 million as of June 30, 2012 from $395.1 million at December 31, 2011. Included in this amount was an increase in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio segment of $6.5 million or 10.9% as well as the commercial real estate mortgage of $4.9 million or 4.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company’s lending philosophy centers around the growth of the commercial loan portfolio. The Company has taken a proactive approach in servicing the needs of both new and current clients. These relationships generally offer more attractive returns than residential loans and also offer opportunities for attracting larger balance deposit relationships. However, the shift in loan portfolio mix from residential real estate to commercial oriented loans may increase credit risk.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality. The Company increased the allowance for loan losses to $7.8 million, or 1.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2012, compared to $6.8 million, or 1.7%, at December 31, 2011. The increase in the allowance for loan losses is a continuation of the Company’s approach to accurately measure credits identified as troubled in quarters past. The impact of charge-offs reversed in the last quarter as compared to recent quarters past. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net loan recoveries totaled $35,000 compared to net charge-offs of $358,000 for the second quarter of 2011. Year-to-date net loan charge-offs totaled $117,000 compared to $759,000 for the same period the year prior. To maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company recorded a second quarter provision for loan losses of $450,000, versus $700,000 for the second quarter of 2011.

Management analyzes the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses regularly through reviews of the performance of the loan portfolio considering economic conditions, changes in interest rates and the effect of such changes on real estate values and changes in the amount and composition of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, historical loan loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, current interest rates, trends in the borrower’s industry and other factors that management believes warrant recognition in providing for an appropriate allowance for loan losses. Future additions to the allowance for loan losses will be dependent on these factors. Additionally, the Company uses an outside party to conduct an independent review of commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company uses the results of this review to help determine the effectiveness of the existing policies and procedures, and to provide an independent assessment of the allowance for loan losses allocated to these types of loans. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was appropriately stated at June 30, 2012. Based on the variables involved and the fact that management must make judgments about outcomes that are uncertain, the determination of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets includes non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), loans 90 days or more past due, assets purchased by EMORECO from EB, other real estate, and repossessed assets. A loan is classified as non-accrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectability of interest and principal. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal and interest is doubtful. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied against principal according to management’s shadow accounting system. The shadow accounting system tracks interest on nonaccrual loan payments as though current. The shadow account splits principal and interest on payments while the actual account undergoes only a principal reduction. TDRs are those loans which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. The Company has 46 TDRs with a total balance of $4.3 million as of June 30, 2012. Nonperforming loans amounted to $17.2 million, or 4.2% of total loans, and $24.5 million or 6.1% of total loans at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming loans has occurred partly due to improved performance of previously classified TDRs. A TDR that yields market interest rate at the time of restructuring and is in compliance with its modified terms is no longer reported as TDR in calendar years after the year in which the restructuring took place. To be in compliance with its modified terms, a loan that is a TDR must not be in nonaccrual status and must be current or less than 30 days past due on its contractual principal and interest payments under the modified repayment terms. Nonperforming loans secured by real estate totaled $15.9 million as of June 30, 2012, down $6.9 million from $22.8 million at December 31, 2011. The stabilization of the economy has somewhat alleviated this previously negative trend. Real estate owned is initially recorded at the lower of carrying cost or fair value less cost to sell and continually monitored for changes in fair value.

Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans	45.13 %	41.11 %	27.78 %	33.33 %	31.27 %

A major factor in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is the type of collateral which secures the loans. Of the total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2012, 92.6% were secured by real estate. Although this does not insure against all losses, the real estate typically provides for at least partial recovery, even in a distressed-sale and declining-value environment. In response to the poor economic conditions which have eroded the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, additional resources have been allocated to the loan workout process. The Company’s objective is to minimize the future loss exposure to the Company.

Deposits. The Company considers various sources when evaluating funding needs, including but not limited to deposits, which are a significant source of funds totaling $571.7 million or 96.1% of the Company’s total funding sources at June 30, 2012. Total deposits decreased $9.2 million or 1.6% to $571.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $581.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in deposits is related to the decline in time and money market accounts of $13.8 million or 6.3%, and $8.1 million or 10.7%, respectively, at June 30, 2012. These decreases were partially offset by increases in interest-bearing demand, savings, and noninterest-bearing demand accounts of $6.1 million or 10.9%, $3.9 million or 2.4%, and $2.6 million or 4.1%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Borrowed funds. The Company uses short and long-term borrowings as another source of funding used for asset growth and liquidity needs. These borrowings primarily include FHLB advances, junior subordinated debt, short-term borrowings from other banks and repurchase agreements. Short-term borrowings decreased $433,000 or 5.9% to $7.0 million as of June 30, 2012. This decline largely resulted from a decrease of $336,000 in EB repurchase accounts. Other borrowings, representing advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, declined $468,000 or 2.8%, to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decline in FHLB advances was the result of scheduled principal payments.

Stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $5.9 million or 12.5% to $53.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $47.3 million at December 31, 2011. This increase was the result of increases in common stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.7 million, $2.2 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in common stock was mostly the result of a private offering of 196,635 shares and 16,625 shares offered via the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan at an average price of $20.64 since December 31, 2011. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income relates to increases in the fair value of the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $3.2 million, a $1.4 million, or 83.7% increase from the $1.7 million earned during the same period in 2011. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.85 compared to $0.44 for the same period in 2011. Diluted earnings per share for six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.72 compared to $1.05 for the same period in 2011.

The Company’s annualized return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were 1.01% and 13.22%, respectively, compared with 0.45% and 7.22% for the same period in 2011. For the first six months of 2012, the Company’s ROA and ROE were 0.97% and 13.02%, respectively, compared with 0.55% and 8.89% for the same period of 2011.

The Company’s earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were positively impacted by a decrease in deposit interest expense. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on securities.

Net interest income. Net interest income, the primary source of revenue for the Company, is determined by the Company’s interest rate spread, which is defined as the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management periodically adjusts the mix of assets and liabilities, as well as the rates earned or paid on those assets and liabilities in order to manage and improve net interest income. The level of interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and liabilities affect the Company’s net interest income. Historically from an interest rate risk perspective, it has been management’s goal to maintain a balance between steady net interest income growth and the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $5.6 million, an increase of 9.0% from the $5.1 million reported for the comparable period of 2011. The net interest margin was 3.93% for the second quarter of 2012, up from the 3.64% reported for the same quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to lower interest-bearing liability costs, which decreased 47 basis points to 1.24%. Deposit growth at the Banks has primarily been in products such as savings and interest-bearing demand accounts, which generally carry lower interest costs than other deposit alternatives.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $11.1 million, an increase of 9.7% from the $10.1 million reported for the comparable period of 2011. The net interest margin was 3.91% for the year-to-date 2012, up from the 3.66% reported for the same quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to lower interest-bearing liability costs, which decreased 49 basis points to 1.25%. Deposit growth at the Banks has primarily been in products such as savings and interest-bearing demand accounts, which generally carry lower interest costs than other deposit alternatives.

Interest income. Interest income decreased $198,000, or 2.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This can be attributed to a decrease in interest earned on taxable investment securities of $498,000, or 38.6%, partially offset by an increase in interest and fees on loans of $242,000, or 4.5%. This increase was attributable to a $27.3 million or 7.2% increase in the average balance of loans receivable from June 30, 2011.

Interest income decreased $325,000, or 2.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This can be attributed to a decrease in interest earned on taxable investment securities of $906,000, or 34.7%, partially offset by an increase in interest and fees on loans of $478,000, or 4.5%. This increase was attributable to a $27.3 million or 7.2% increase in the average balance of loans receivable from June 30, 2011.

Interest earned on securities decreased $447,000, or 22.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of the securities portfolio of $8.8 million, or 4.6%, to $181.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $190.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Interest income on investment securities was adversely affected by a decrease in the portfolio yield. The total investment securities portfolio yield of 4.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 67 basis points from 4.96% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest earned on securities decreased $806,000, or 20.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of the securities portfolio of $7.3 million, or 3.8%, to $185.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $192.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Interest income on investment securities was adversely affected by a decrease in the portfolio yield. The total investment securities portfolio yield of 4.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 64 basis points from 4.96% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $658,000, or 28.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This can be attributed to decreases in interest incurred on certificates of deposits and savings of $227,000 and $196,000, respectively. The reduction was exacerbated by decreases in the rates paid on money market and savings accounts of 59 and 52 basis points, respectively, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 28.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This can be attributed to decreases in interest incurred on certificates of deposits and savings of $472,000 and $367,000, respectively. The reduction was intensified by decreases in the rates paid on money market and savings accounts of 59 and 52 basis points, respectively, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Interest incurred on deposits, the largest component of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, declined $570,000, or 28.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was attributed to a decline in average rate paid on deposits to 1.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 1.56% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in interest cost due to rates was bolstered by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $3.8 million, or 0.7%, to $511.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $515.1 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest incurred on deposits, the largest component of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities, declined $1.1 million, or 27.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was attributed to a decline in average rate paid on deposits to 1.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 1.60% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in interest cost due to rates was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $916,000, or 0.2%, to $513.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $512.5 million for the same period in the prior year.

These fluctuations are reflected in the quarterly rate volume report presented below depicting the cost decrease associated with interest-bearing liabilities. The Company diligently monitors the interest rates on its products as well as the rates being offered by its competition and utilizing rate surveys to minimize total interest expense.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds, declined by $87,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the same period in the prior year. This decline was primarily attributable to a reduction of $89,000 in interest paid on trust preferred securities when compared to June 30, 2011.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds, declined by $202,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared with the same period in the prior year. This decline was primarily attributable to a reduction of $196,000 in interest paid on trust preferred securities when compared to June 30, 2011.

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Each quarter management performs a review of estimated probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Based on this review, a provision for loan losses of $450,000 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $700,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The provision for loan losses was lower due in part to decreases in net charge-offs and decreases in nonperforming and delinquent loans.

Nonperforming loans were $17.2 million, or 4.2% of total loans at June 30, 2012 compared with $22.5 million, or 5.8% at June 30, 2011. Net recoveries were $35,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared with net-charge-offs of $358,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Year-to-date net loan charge-offs totaled $117,000 compared to $759,000 for the same period the year prior. Total loans were $410.9 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $385.3 million at June 30, 2011.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased $423,000 for the three month period of June 30, 2012 over the comparable 2011 period. This growth was largely the result of increases in gains on security sales of $333,000, revenue from investment services of $44,000, and debit card fees of $36,000.

Non-interest income increased $518,000 for the six month period of June 30, 2012 over the comparable 2011 period. This increase was mostly the result of an increase in gains on security sales of $318,000, increased revenue from investment services of $68,000, and an $85,000 gain on the sale of an EB loan.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2012 was 5.8%, or $251,000 lower than the same period in 2011. Losses on other real estate owned and salaries and employee benefits decreased $291,000, or 90.1%, and $144,000, or 7.4%, as compared to the same period in 2011. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in equipment expense of $46,000, or 29.7%.

Non-interest expense of $7.8 million for the year-to-date June 30, 2012 was 2.2%, or $174,000, lower than the same period in 2011. Losses on other real estate owned and salaries and employee benefits decreased $253,000, or 83.5%, and $84,000, or 2.3%, as compared to the same period in 2011. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in equipment expense of $58,000, or 18.5%.

Provision for income taxes. The Company recognized $898,000 in income tax expense, which reflected an effective tax rate of 22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $144,000 with an effective tax rate of 7.7% for the respective 2011 period. The increase in the tax provision can be attributed to an increase in income before taxes of $2.2 million, or 117.6% when compared to the same period in the prior year.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s critical accounting estimates involving the more significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012, have remained unchanged from December 31, 2011.

Average Balance Sheet and Yield/Rate Analysis. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information concerning the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs, net interest income, interest rate spread and the net interest margin earned on average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this table, average balances are calculated using monthly averages and the average loan balances include non-accrual loans and exclude the allowance for loan losses, and interest income includes accretion of net deferred loan fees. Interest and yields on tax-exempt securities (tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes) are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis utilizing a federal tax rate of 34%. Yields and rates have been calculated on an annualized basis utilizing monthly interest amounts.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following table analyzes the changes in interest income and interest expense, between the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to which changes in the Company’s interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume), changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on securities reflects the changes in interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

LIQUIDITY

Management's objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability to continue meeting the cash flow needs of bank customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, as well as the Company’s own financial commitments. The principal sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing and principal reductions on securities and sales of securities available-for-sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not limited to, the purchase of federal funds, and the ability to borrow funds under line of credit agreements with correspondent banks and a borrowing agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, Ohio and the adjustment of interest rates to obtain depositors. Management believes the Company has the capital adequacy, profitability and reputation to meet the current and projected needs of its customers.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities consisted mainly of depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment, the provision for loan losses, net amortization of securities and net changes in other assets and liabilities. For a more detailed illustration of sources and uses of cash, refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

INFLATION

Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to banking activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, with the exception of securities available-for-sale, impaired loans and other real estate loans that are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to rising inflation can cause purchasing power loss.

Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation do affect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's performance.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions.

Effective February 11, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company’s subsidiary, EB, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions as a result of the joint examination by the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions completed in the fourth quarter of 2009. The MOU sets forth certain actions required to be taken by management of EB to rectify unsatisfactory conditions identified by the federal and state banking regulators that relate to EB’s concentration of credit for non-owner occupied 1 - 4 family residential mortgage loans. The MOU requires EB to reduce delinquent and classified loans and enhance credit administration for non-owner occupied residential real estate; to develop specific plans for the reduction of borrower indebtedness on classified and delinquent credits; to correct violations of laws and regulations listed in the joint examination report; to implement an earnings improvement plan; to maintain specified capital discussed below; to submit to the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions for review and comment a revised methodology for calculating and determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; and to provide 30 days’ advance notification of proposed dividend payments.

Compliance with the terms of the MOU is a high priority for the Company. In anticipation of the requirements that would be imposed by the MOU executed February 11, 2010, management devoted significant resources to the preceding matters during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and intends to continue to do so during 2012. Specific actions taken include the evaluation and reorganization of lending and credit administration personnel, retention of collection and workout personnel, and the sale of $5.6 million of nonperforming assets to a sister, nonbank-asset resolution subsidiary. This amount is an increase from the original $4.6 million sale in 2009. In 2010 and 2011, the Company invested $500,000 and $1.5 million in EB in the form of capital infusions to maintain Tier I capital at the level required by the FDIC and the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions.

The MOU requires that EB submit plans and report to the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the FDIC regarding EB’s loan portfolio and profit plan, among other matters. The MOU also requires that the Bank maintain its Tier I Leverage Capital ratio at not less than 9 percent.

The following table sets forth the capital requirements for EB under the FDIC regulations and EB’s capital ratios at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

FDIC Regulations — Capital Ratio	Adequately Capitalized	Well Capitalized	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011
Tier I Leverage Capital	4.00 %	5.00 %	(1)	9.95 %	9.92 %
Risk-Based Capital:
Tier I	4.00	6.00		13.01	12.57
Total	8.00	10.00		14.26	13.82

(1) 9 percent required by the MOU.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the company's operations.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required.

The following table illustrates the Company's and Banks’ capital ratios at June 30, 2012:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to maximize the Company’s net interest income while simultaneously maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate risk given the Company’s operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, performance objectives and overall business focus. The principal determinant of the exposure of the Company’s earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between the repricing and maturity of interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s asset and liability management policies are designed to decrease interest rate sensitivity primarily by shortening the maturities of interest-earning assets while at the same time extending the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The Board of Directors of the Company continues to believe in strong asset/liability management in order to insulate the Company from material losses as a result of prolonged increases in interest rates. As a result of this policy, the Company emphasizes a larger, more diversified portfolio of residential mortgage loans in the form of mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the Company’s assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.

MB’s Board of Directors have established an Asset and Liability Management Committee consisting of four outside directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive/Vice President/ Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President/Commercial Lending. This committee, which meets quarterly, generally monitors various asset and liability management policies and strategies, which were implemented by the Company over the past few years. These strategies have included: (i) an emphasis on the investment in adjustable-rate and shorter duration mortgage-backed securities; (ii) an emphasis on the origination of single-family residential adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), residential construction loans and commercial real estate loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest rates and/or shorter maturities than traditional single-family residential loans, and consumer loans, which generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans; (iii) increase the duration of the liability base of the Company by extending the maturities of savings deposits, borrowed funds and repurchase agreements.

MB and EB have established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net interest income simulation. Given a 200 basis point parallel and gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates, net interest income may not change by more than 10% for a one-year period.

Portfolio equity simulation. Portfolio equity is the net present value of the Company’s existing assets and liabilities. Given a 200 basis point immediate and permanent increase or decrease in market interest rates, portfolio equity may not correspondingly decrease or increase by more than 20% of stockholders’ equity.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 200 basis point upward and a 200 basis point downward shift of market interest rates on net interest income and the change in portfolio equity. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2012 remained constant. The impact of the market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of rates changing gradually over a one-year period from the June 30, 2011 levels for net interest income. The impact of market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of an immediate and permanent change in rates at June 30, 2012 for portfolio equity:

Net interest income - increase (decrease)	1.45	%	1.02	%
Portfolio equity - increase (decrease)	(17.29	)%	(8.01	) %

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures Disclosure

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(e) and 15d-14(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in internal control or in other factors that could significantly affect its internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2), or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
