NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements and the footnotes of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Guaranty Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Those adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting adjustments.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” The amendment requires an entity to present the reclassification adjustments out of AOCI and into net income for each component reported. This update is intended to supplement changes made in 2012 to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the disclosures in Note 9 below and did not have a material impact upon the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3. Securities

A summary comparison of securities by type at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is shown below.

The scheduled maturities of securities at September 30, 2013, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayments. Mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity because of amortization and potential prepayment of the underlying mortgages. For this reason they are presented separately in the maturity table below.

Securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the recovery of contractual principal and interest and (iv) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The amount of investment securities issued by U.S. Government and Government sponsored agencies with unrealized losses and the amount of unrealized losses on those investment securities are the result of changes in market interest rates. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may be until maturity.

The corporate debt securities consist primarily of corporate bonds issued by financial, insurance, utility, manufacturing, industrial, consumer products and oil and gas organizations. The Company believes that each of the issuers will be able to fulfill the obligations of these securities based on evaluations described above. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until they recover, which could be at their maturity dates.

The Company believes that the securities with unrealized losses reflect impairment that is temporary and there are currently no securities with other-than-temporary impairment.

At September 30, 2013, the Company's exposure to bond issuers that exceeded 10% of stockholders’ equity is below:

Credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis. Measurement of delinquency and past due status are based on the contractual terms of each loan. Past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify nonaccrual loans.

The following is a summary of nonaccrual loans by class at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The Company’s credit quality indicators are pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful.

Loans included in the pass category are performing loans with satisfactory debt coverage ratios, collateral, payment history, and meet documentation requirements.

Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices.

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. These loans require more intensive supervision. Substandard loans are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigates. For some substandard loans, the likelihood of full collection of interest and principal may be in doubt and interest is no longer accrued. For consumer loans that are 90 days or more past due or that are nonaccrual are considered substandard.

Doubtful loans have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full questionable and there is a high probability of loss based on currently existing facts, conditions and values.

The following table identifies the credit exposure of the loan portfolio by specific credit ratings as of the dates indicated:

Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is reviewed by on a monthly basis and additions thereto are recorded pursuant to the results of such reviews. In assessing the allowance, several internal and external factors that might impact the performance of individual loans are considered. These factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions and their impact upon borrowers' ability to repay loans, respective industry trends, borrower estimates and independent appraisals. Periodic changes in these factors impact the assessment of each loan and its overall impact on the allowance for loan losses.

The monitoring of credit risk also extends to unfunded credit commitments, such as unused commercial credit lines and letters of credit. A reserve is established as needed for estimates of probable losses on such commitments.

A summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses, by loan type, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

A loan is considered 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. Payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due are considered in evaluating loan impairment. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

The significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls are considered on a case-by-case basis; 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 are factors considered. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. This process is applied to impaired loan relationships in excess of $250,000.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not separately identified for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR") is considered such if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The modifications to the Company's TDRs were concessions on the interest rate charged. The effect of the modifications to the Company was a reduction in interest income. These loans have an allocated reserve in the Company's reserve for loan losses. The Company has not restructured any loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings in the prior twelve months.

The following table identifies the Troubled Debt Restructurings as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

The Company has made no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring at September 30, 2013.

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are subject to impairment testing. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company's goodwill is the difference in purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired from the acquisition of Homestead Bancorp in 2007. Goodwill totaled $2.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. No impairment charges have been recognized on the Company's intangible assets. Mortgage servicing rights totaled $0.1 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2012. Other intangible assets recorded include core deposit intangibles, which are subject to amortization. The weighted-average amortization period remaining for the Company's core deposit intangibles is 6.6 years. The core deposits intangible reflect the value of deposit relationships, including the beneficial rates, which arose from acquisitions.

Note 7. Other Real Estate (ORE)

Other real estate owned consists of the following at the dates indicated:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

Total Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Property	$	3,689	$	2,394

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-balance sheet commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments. Unless otherwise noted, collateral or other security is not required to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Below is a summary of the notional amounts of the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Contract Amount
(in thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	40,734	$	26,775
Unfunded Commitments under lines of credit	$	85,700	$	71,423
Commercial and Standby letters of credit	$	5,405	$	5,470

Litigation

The nature of the Company’s business ordinarily results in a certain amount of claims, litigation and legal and administrative cases, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. When the Company determines it has defenses to the claims asserted, it defends itself. The Company will consider settlement of cases when it is in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders.

While the final outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, any incremental liability arising from the Company’s legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Note 9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table details the changes in the single component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

(in thousands)	Unrealized (Loss) Gain on Securities Available for Sale
Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income:
Balance December 31, 2012	$	6,048
Reclassification adjustments to net income:
Realized gains on securities		(1,556	)
Provision for income taxes		541
Unrealized losses arising during the period, net of tax		(10,949	)
Balance September 30, 2013	$	(5,916	)

Note 10. Fair Value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques use certain inputs to arrive at fair value. Inputs to valuation techniques are the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. They may be observable or unobservable. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds or credit risks) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value follows, as well as the classification of such instruments within the valuation hierarchy.

Securities available for sale. Securities are classified within Level 1 where quoted market prices are available in an active market. Inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, at which point the securities would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy. Securities classified within Level 3 in the Company's portfolio include municipal bonds and one preferred equity security.

Impaired loans. Loans are measured for impairment using the methods permitted by ASC Topic 310. Fair value of impaired loans is measured by either the loan's obtainable market price, if available (Level 1), the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 2), or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the specific loan's effective interest rate (Level 3). Fair value of the collateral is determined by appraisals or by independent valuation.

Other real estate owned. Properties are recorded at the balance of the loan or at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, whichever is less, at the date acquired. Fair values of other real estate owned ("OREO") are determined by sales agreement or appraisal, and costs to sell are based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the sales agreement or amounts commonly used in real estate transactions. Inputs include appraisal values on the properties or recent sales activity for similar assets in the property’s market, and thus OREO measured at fair value would be classified within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis including assets and liabilities related to reporting units measured at fair value in the testing of goodwill impairment, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The following table summarizes financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Fair Value Measurements Using: Available for Sale Securities
Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets ( Level 1 )	$	25,500	$	20,522
Significant Other Observable Inputs ( Level 2 )		450,654		573,071
Significant Unobservable Inputs ( Level 3 )		7,335		8,707
Securities available for sale measured at fair value	$	483,489	$	602,300

The Company's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While the methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

There were no transfers into Level 1 during the first nine months of 2013. One Government Agency security totaling $10.0 million was transferred from Level 1 into Level 2 because the security did not trade on the pricing date and quoted pricing for a similar asset in an active market was used.

The change in Level 3 securities available for sale from December 31, 2012 was due to the sale of a Level 3 security totaling $0.5 million and principal payments on municipal bonds totaling $0.9 million.

The following table measures financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

(in thousands)	At September 30, 2013		At December 31, 2012
Fair Value Measurements Using: Impaired Loans
Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets ( Level 1 )	$	-	$	-
Significant Other Observable Inputs ( Level 2 )		5,215		8,563
Significant Unobservable Inputs ( Level 3 )		24,295		27,310

ASC 825-10 provides the Company with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value option established by this statement permits the Company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each reporting date subsequent to implementation.

The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and as such has not included any gains or losses in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

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

The following management discussion and analysis is intended to highlight the significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition and results of operations presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. This discussion is designed to provide readers with a more comprehensive view of the operating results and financial position than would be obtained from reading the consolidated financial statements alone. Reference should be made to those statements for an understanding of the following review and analysis. The financial data at September 30, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 have been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and provisions) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations for such periods.

First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Hammond, LA with one wholly owned subsidiary, First Guaranty Bank. First Guaranty Bank is a Louisiana state chartered commercial bank with 21 banking facilities including one drive-up only facility, located throughout Southeast, Southwest and North Louisiana. The Company emphasizes personal relationships and localized decision making to ensure that products and services are matched to customer needs. The Company competes for business principally on the basis of personal service to customers, customer access to officers and directors and competitive interest rates and fees.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage corporations to provide information about a Company's anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, which protects us from unwarranted litigation, if actual results are different from Management expectations. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and reflects Management’s current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, including, changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; competition among depository and other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; adverse changes in the securities markets; changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities, if any; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, which could cause our actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations, expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Three and Nine months Financial Overview 2013

Financial highlights for the three and nine months of 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

●	Net income for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $2.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6.5 million compared to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net income for 2013 is primarily the result of lower interest income on securities from the shortening of the maturity of the portfolio when compared to 2012. The decrease in securities interest income was partially offset by higher interest income on loans and lower interest expense on deposits. The Company also realized lower gains on securities and had higher noninterest expense. This was partially offset by a decreased provision expense.

●	Net income available to common shareholders after preferred stock dividends was $2.1 million and $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net income available to common shareholders after preferred stock dividends was $5.9 million and $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The dividends on preferred stock decreased $0.9 million to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease is the result of the Company qualifying for a lower dividend rate due to the increase in qualified small business loans as a part of the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program.

Financial Condition

Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013

General.

Total assets at September 30, 2013 increased $17.2 million or 1.2% to $1.42 billion when compared to $1.41 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase in assets was from an increase in loans that was partially offset by a decrease in securities and cash.

Investment Securities.

Investment securities at September 30, 2013 totaled $637.6 million, a decrease of $23.6 million compared to $661.2 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributed to growth in the Company’s loan portfolio that was funded with surplus cash from sold, matured, and called securities and short-term borrowings. The investment portfolio consisted of available for sale securities at fair value totaling $483.5 million and held to maturity securities at amortized cost total of $154.1 million.

The securities portfolio consisted principally of U.S. Government and Government Agency securities, Government Agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds. The securities portfolio provides the Company with a balance to credit risk when compared to other categories of assets. Management monitors the securities portfolio for both credit and interest rate risk. The Company generally limits the purchase of corporate securities to individual issuers to manage concentration and credit risk. Corporate securities generally have a maturity of 10 years or less. U.S. Government securities consist of U.S. Treasury bills that have maturities of less than 30 days. Government Agency securities generally have maturities of 15 years or less. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities have stated final maturities of 15 to 20 years.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company diversified its investment portfolio with agency mortgage backed securities as a strategy to increase cash flow and manage interest rate risk. A total of $66.0 million in mortgage backed securities were purchased and placed into the held to maturity category. These securities have a forecasted average life of 5 to 7 years and are used to collateralize public funds deposits. Management believes that the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. At September 30, 2013 the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled $64.6 million.

At September 30, 2013, $33.3 million or 5.2% of the securities portfolio was scheduled to mature in less than one year. Securities with contractual maturity dates over 10 years totaled $105.1 million or 16.5% of the total portfolio. The weighted average contractual maturity of the securities portfolio was 7.2 years at September 30, 2013 compared to 7.0 years at December 31, 2012. The increase in contractual maturity from December 31, 2012 is mainly attributable to the purchase of longer dated mortgage-backed securities. The average maturity of the securities portfolio is affected by call options that may be exercised by the issuer of the securities and are influenced by market interest rates. Prepayments of mortgages that collateralize mortgage-backed securities also affect the maturity of the securities portfolio. Based on internal forecasts at September 30, 2013, management believes that the securities portfolio has a forecasted weighted average life of approximately 5.5 years based on the current interest rate environment. A parallel interest rate shock of 400 basis points is forecasted to increase the weighted average life of the portfolio to approximately 6.1 years.

Average securities as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 46.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 51.1% for the same period in 2012. The reduction of securities as a percent of average assets is attributed to growth in the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2013, the U.S Government and Government Agency securities and municipal bonds qualified as securities available to collateralize repurchase agreements and public funds. Securities pledged totaled $502.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $476.5 million at December 31, 2012. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on investment securities.

Loans .

Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 48.4% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 and 44.7% for the same period in 2012. Net loans increased $60.3 million or 9.7% to $679.4 million from $619.2 million at December 31, 2012. Net loans are reduced by the allowance for loan losses which totaled $10.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $10.3 million at December 31, 2012. Loan charge-offs totaled $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2013 and $3.0 million for the same period in 2012. Recoveries totaled $0.4 million during the first nine months of 2013 and $0.6 million for the same period in 2012.

There are no significant concentrations of credit to any individual borrower. At September 30, 2013, 72.5% of our loan portfolio was secured primarily or secondarily by real estate. The largest portion of our loan portfolio, at 47.2%, is non-farm non-residential loans secured by real estate.

As we have increased our loans to qualified small businesses, as a part of the SBLF program, our preferred dividend on our SBLF capital decreased to $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2013 from $0.5 million for the third quarter in 2012. Year to date 2013 the Company has paid $0.6 million on the SBLF capital compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2012.

See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and Note 5 for information on the allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming Assets .

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on which interest is no longer accrued, certain restructured loans where the interest rate or other terms have been renegotiated and real estate acquired through foreclosure (other real estate). The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans when management believes there is reasonable uncertainty about the full collection of principal and interest or when the loan is contractually past due 90 days or more and not fully secured. If the principal amount of the loan is adequately secured, then interest income on such loans is recognized only in periods in which actual payments are received.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

At September 30, 2013, nonperforming assets totaled $18.3 million compared to $23.5 million at December 31, 2012; a decrease of $5.3 million or 22.4%. Management has not identified additional information on any loans not already included in impaired loans or the nonperforming assets that indicates possible credit problems that could cause doubt as to the ability of borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms in the future. Nonperforming assets consist of loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, and other real estate.

At September 30, 2013 loans 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing totaled $0.1 million; a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the $0.5 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease is mainly due to the reduction of $0.4 million in the 1-4 family category of loans that were 90 days or greater delinquent and still accruing.

At September 30, 2013 nonaccrual loans totaled $14.5 million; a decrease of $6.2 million or 29.9% compared to nonaccrual loans of $20.7 million at December 31, 2012. Nonaccrual loans were concentrated in 3 credit relationships for a total of $6.4 million or 36.7% of nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2013.

Other real estate owned at September 30, 2013 totaled $3.7 million; an increase of $1.3 million from $2.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in other real estate owned is mainly due to the additions of a $1.1 million residential property, a $0.3 million non-farm non-residential property, and a $0.8 million commercial property. The additions to other real estate were partially offset by sales and write-downs. Other real estate owned totaled $4.1 million at June 30, 2013.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for anticipated loan losses as well as recoveries of previously charged off loans and is decreased by loan charge-offs. The provision is a charge to current expense to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance commensurate with Management’s evaluation of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Various factors are taken into consideration when determining the amount of the provision and the adequacy of the allowance. These factors include but are not limited to:

●	past due and nonperforming assets;
●	specific internal analysis of loans requiring special attention;
●	the current level of regulatory classified and criticized assets and the associated risk factors with each;
●	changes in underwriting standards or lending procedures and policies;
●	charge off and recovery practices;
●	national and local economic and business conditions;
●	nature and volume of loans;
●	overall portfolio quality;
●	adequacy of loan collateral;
●	quality of loan review system and degree of oversight by its Board of Directors;
●	competition and legal and regulatory requirements on borrowers;
●	examinations of the loan portfolio by federal and state regulatory agencies and examinations; and
●	review by our internal loan review department and independent accountants.

The data collected from all sources in determining the adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis by Management with regard to current national and local economic trends, prior loss history, underlying collateral values, credit concentrations and industry risks. An estimate of potential loss on specific loans is developed in conjunction with an overall risk evaluation of the total loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, and impaired. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Also, a specific reserve is allocated for our syndicated loans. The general component covers non-classified loans and special mention loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the estimate of probable losses.

Provisions made pursuant to these processes totaled $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2012. The provisions made in the first nine months of 2013 were taken to provide for current loan losses and to maintain the allowance proportionate to risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Total charge-offs were $2.6 million for first nine months of 2013 and $3.0 million for the same period in 2012. The charge-offs taken in the first nine months of 2013 were concentrated in non-farm non-residential loans for $1.0 million and commercial and industrial loans for $1.0 million. The non-farm non-residential loans charge offs were concentrated in two credit relationships which accounted for approximately $0.7 million of the $1.0 million in charge-offs for this category. Commercial and industrial loan charge offs were concentrated in one credit relationship which accounted for $0.7 million of the $1.0 million in charge offs for this category. The majority of these charge-offs occurred in the first quarter of 2013. The Company has experienced reduced charge offs and lower provision expenses in the second and third quarters of 2013. Recoveries totaled $0.4 million during the first nine months of 2013 and $0.6 million for the same period in 2012. For more information, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comparing September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2012, the decline in allowance provision is attributed to improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and to the fact that the impaired loan portfolio did not suffer additional declines in estimated fair value. The credit quality improvements were across most loan portfolio types with the largest improvement in non-farm non-residential loans, commercial and industrial loans, and construction and land development. The largest change in the allowance balance was in the non-farm non-residential category which declined approximately 13.8% from $3.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $3.2 million as of September 30, 2013.

All accrued but uncollected interest related to a loan is deducted from income in the period the loan is placed on nonaccrual. During the period a loan is in nonaccrual status, any cash receipts are first applied to the principal balance. Once the principal balance has been fully recovered, any residual amounts are applied to expenses resulting from the collection of the payment and to the recovery of any reversed interest income and interest income that would have been due had the loan not been nonaccrual. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $14.5 million and $20.7 million, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 was $10.1 million or 1.5% of total loans and 69.6% of nonperforming loans. See Note 4 and 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on loans and the allowance for loan losses.

Deposits.

Managing the mix and pricing the maturities of deposit liabilities is an important factor affecting our ability to maximize our net interest margin. The strategies used to manage interest-bearing deposit liabilities are designed to adjust as the interest rate environment changes. In this regard, we regularly assess our funding needs, deposit pricing and interest rate outlooks. From December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013, total deposits decreased $2.0 million, or -0.2%, to $1.25 billion. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $0.4 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased by $12.7 million when comparing September 30, 2013 to December 31, 2012. Time deposits increased $9.1 million, or 1.4% to $657.6 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $648.4 million at December 31, 2012.

At September 30, 2013, public fund deposits totaled $464.0 million compared to $476.5 million at December 31, 2012. The Company has developed a program for the development and management of public fund deposits. Since 2007, the Company has maintained public fund deposits in excess of $175.0 million. These deposits are from local government entities such as school districts, hospital districts, sheriff departments and other municipalities. Several of these accounts are under contracts with terms up to three years. Public funds deposit accounts are collateralized by FHLB letters of credit and by eligible Government and Government agency securities such as those issued by the FHLB, FFCB, FNMA, and FHLMC. Management believes that public funds provide a low cost and stable source of funding for the Company.

As of September 30, 2013, the aggregate amount of outstanding certificates of deposit in amounts greater than or equal to $100,000 was approximately $442.0 million. At September 30, 2013, approximately $237.2 million of the Company's certificates of deposit had a remaining term greater than one year.

As we seek to strengthen our net interest margin and improve our earnings, attracting core noninterest-bearing deposits will remain a primary emphasis. Management will continue to evaluate and update our product mix in its efforts to attract additional core customers. We currently offer a number of noninterest-bearing deposit products that are competitively priced and designed to attract and retain customers with primary emphasis on core deposits. We have also offered several different time deposit promotions in an effort to increase our core deposits and to increase liquidity.

The following table sets forth the distribution of our total deposit accounts, by account type, for the periods indicated.

Borrowings .

The Company maintains borrowing relationships with other financial institutions as well as the Federal Home Loan Bank on a short and long-term basis to meet liquidity needs. At September 30, 2013, short-term borrowings totaled $42.5 million which is an increase of $27.7 million from December 31, 2012. Short-term borrowings consisted of repurchase agreements of $13.2 million, collateralized short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $27.5 million and a line of credit totaling $1.8 million. Overnight repurchase agreement balances are monitored daily for sufficient collateralization. The increase in short-term borrowings was due to seasonal deposit fluctuations primarily concentrated in the Company's public funds deposits. The Company had long-term borrowings totaling $0.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2012.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had $70.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank letters of credit outstanding obtained solely for collateralizing public deposits.

Equity .

Stockholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding, allows for future growth and the ability to absorb unforeseen adverse developments. Total equity decreased to $125.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $134.2 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in stockholders' equity was the result of the other comprehensive loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 of $12.0 million. The other comprehensive loss is the result of the change from an unrealized gain on available for sale securities at December 31, 2012 to an unrealized loss on available for sale securities at September 30, 2013. The other comprehensive loss was partially offset by net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 of $6.5 million. Retained earnings were increased by the Company’s net income of $6.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. This increase in retained earnings was partially offset by common dividends of $3.0 million and preferred dividends of $0.6 million for a total addition to the Company's retained earnings of $2.8 million.

Results of Operations for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Net Income.

Net income for the quarter ending September 30, 2013 was $2.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million from $3.0 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2012. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6.5 million, a decrease of $2.6 million or 28.4% from $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Company had net income available to common shareholders of $2.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from the same quarter in 2012 net income available to common shareholders of $2.5 million. Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5.9 million which is a decrease of $1.7 million from $7.6 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in net income for 2013 was primarily the result of lower interest income on securities from the shortening of the maturity of the portfolio, less gains on securities, and higher salaries expense. These decreases were partially offset by higher interest income on loans, decreased interest expense, and lower provision for loan losses. We foresee continuation of adding quality loans and reducing interest expense through 2013 and 2014. The intent is to increase our loan interest income and income overall. Earnings per common share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $0.34 per common share, a decrease of 15.4% or $0.06 per common share from $0.40 per common share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. Earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.93 per common share, a decrease of 22.3% or $0.27 per common share from $1.20 per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Interest Income.

Net interest income is the largest component of our earnings, and is calculated by subtracting the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from the income earned on interest-earning assets. This represents the earnings from our primary business of gathering deposits, and making loans and investments. Our long-term objective is to manage this income to generate optimal income that balances interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risks.

A financial institution’s asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of a non-financial company, in that virtually all assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Accordingly, changes in interest rates, which are generally impacted by inflation rates, may have a significant impact on a financial institution’s performance. The impact of interest rate changes depends on the sensitivity to the change of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income in the third quarter of 2013 was $10.0 million compared to $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 was $29.3 million and $31.6 million, respectively.

Interest from loans represents the largest portion of interest income from the Company's interest-earning assets, and 47.7% of our total loans are floating rate which are primarily tied to the prime lending rate or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Of the $328.9 million of loans that have floating rates, $222.6 million are currently at their floor rate.

Securities interest income declined in 2013 compared to 2012. For the third quarter 2013 interest income on securities was $3.4 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2012. Year to date 2013 securities interest income decreased $5.1 million compared to 2012. The Company restructured the securities portfolio beginning in 2012 as securities were called, sold or matured in order to reduce long term interest rate risk. This allowed us to help balance the risk inherent in an uncertain interest rate environment by increasing the portfolio’s cash flow while lowering cash flow extension risk. Included in our securities portfolio are $81.2 million (amortized cost) of Government Agency step-up bonds that have scheduled rate resets that help mitigate the risk of a rise in interest rates.

The lower cost of our interest-bearing liabilities reflects a lower cost of funds from our reduction of pricing on deposits. As of September 30, 2013, time deposits represented 52.6% of total deposits, which is an increase from 51.8% at December 31, 2012.

The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 4.26% at September 30, 2012 to 3.71% at September 30, 2013. The interest-bearing liabilities average yield decreased to 1.07% at September 30, 2013, compared to 1.28% at September 30, 2012. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 2.98% for the same period in 2012.

The net interest income yield shown below in the average balance sheet is calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets and is a measure of the efficiency of the earnings from balance sheet activities. It is affected by changes in the difference between interest on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the percentage of interest-earning assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities.

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Provision for Loan Losses.

The provision for loan losses was $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine months ending September 30, 2013, the provision for loan loss was $2.0 million, a decrease from $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2012. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 was $10.1 million, compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2012, and was 1.47% and 1.64% of total loans, respectively. We believe that the allowance is adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio given the current economic conditions, expected net charge-offs and nonperforming asset levels.

Noninterest Income.

For the quarters ending September 30, 2013 and 2012, noninterest income totaled $1.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $1.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Net securities gains were $12,000 for the third quarter of 2013 and $1.7 million for the same period in 2012. Other noninterest income was $0.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013 and $0.4 million for the same period in 2012.

Noninterest income totaled $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013; a decrease of $2.0 million when compared to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Service charges, commissions and fees totaled $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $3.6 million for the same period of 2012. Net securities gains were $1.6 million for the first nine months of 2013 and $3.2 million for the same period in 2012. Other noninterest income decreased by $0.2 million to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $1.2 million for year to date 2012.

Noninterest Expense.

Noninterest expense includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other types of expenses. Noninterest expense totaled $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 and $7.8 million in 2012. Noninterest expense increased from $22.9 million for the first nine months of 2012 to $23.4 million for the first nine months of 2013. Salaries and benefits totaled $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, salaries and benefits totaled $10.8 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2013 and $2.8 million for the same period in 2012. Other noninterest expense totaled $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $3.5 million the third quarter of 2012. Other noninterest expense decreased by $0.3 million to $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company's statutory tax rate was 34.0% which was unchanged from the third quarter of 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

Asset/Liability Management.

Our asset/liability management (ALM) process consists of quantifying, analyzing and controlling interest rate risk (IRR) to maintain reasonably stable net interest income levels under various interest rate environments. The principal objective of ALM is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and to maintain adequate levels of liquidity.

The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, one of our most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans secured by real estate and fixed rate securities in our investment portfolio, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our Board of Directors has established two committees, the Management Asset Liability Committee and the Board Investment Committee, to oversee the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The Management Asset Liability Committee is comprised of senior members of Management and meets as needed to review our asset liability policies and interest rate risk position. The Board Investment Committee is comprised of board members and meets monthly. Senior Management makes a monthly report to the Board Investment Committee.

The interest spread and liability funding discussed below are directly related to changes in asset and liability mixes, volumes, maturities and repricing opportunities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those which are subject to repricing in the near term, including both floating or adjustable rate instruments and instruments approaching maturity. The interest sensitivity gap is the difference between total interest-sensitive assets and total interest-sensitive liabilities. Interest rates on our various asset and liability categories do not respond uniformly to changing market conditions. Interest rate risk is the degree to which interest rate fluctuations in the marketplace can affect net interest income.

The need for interest sensitivity gap management is most critical in times of rapid changes in overall interest rates. Because of the significant impact on net interest margin from mismatches in repricing opportunities, the asset-liability mix is monitored periodically depending upon Management’s assessment of current business conditions and the interest rate outlook. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations is maintained within prudent levels by the use of varying investment strategies.

The following interest sensitivity analysis is one measurement of interest rate risk and is set forth on the following table. This analysis reflects the maturity and repricing of the principal of assets and liabilities over various time periods. This analysis does not factor in prepayments or principal payments and includes floating rate loans with floor rates at September 30, 2013 totaling $222.6 million as floating loans or bonds that have interest rate resets. Considering these factors could have a significant impact on the report. The table excludes nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2013 totaling $14.5 million. The gap indicates whether more assets or liabilities are subject to repricing over a given time period. The interest sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2013 shown below reflects a liability-sensitive position with a negative cumulative gap on a one-year basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity.

Liquidity refers to the ability or flexibility to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available to meet customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. Liquid assets include cash and due from banks, interest-earning demand deposits with banks, federal funds sold and available for sale investment securities.

Loans maturing within one year or less at September 30, 2013 totaled $152.2 million. At September 30, 2013, time deposits maturing within one year or less totaled $420.4 million. The Company’s held to maturity ("HTM") portfolio at September 30, 2013 was $154.1 million or 24.2% of the investment portfolio compared to $58.9 million or 8.9% at December 31, 2012. The securities in the held to maturity portfolio are used to collateralize public funds deposits and may also be used to secure borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Bank. The agency securities in the HTM portfolio have maturities of 10 years or less. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities in the portfolio have stated final maturities of 15 to 20 years at September 30, 2013. The HTM portfolio had a forecasted weighted average life of approximately 5.9 years based on current interest rates. Management regularly monitors the size and composition of the HTM portfolio to evaluate its effect on the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s available for sale portfolio was $483.5 million or 75.8% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2013. The majority of the AFS portfolio was comprised of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government Agencies, and investment grade corporate bonds. Management believes these securities are readily marketable and enhance the Company’s liquidity.

The Company maintained a net borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $81.9 million and $99.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company also has a discount window line with the Federal Reserve Bank. We also maintain federal funds lines of credit at various correspondent banks with borrowing capacity of $152.6 million and a revolving line of credit for $2.5 million with an availability of $0.7 million as of September 30, 2013. Management believes there is sufficient liquidity to satisfy current operating needs.

Capital Resources.

The Company's capital position is reflected in stockholders’ equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. Further, our capital base allows us to take advantage of business opportunities while maintaining the level of resources we deem appropriate to address business risks inherent in daily operations.

Regulatory Capital .

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the FDIC require banks to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Similar capital regulations apply to bank holding companies. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure “Tier 1” capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income) and total capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off- balance sheet items. Under the guidelines, one of its risk weights is applied to the different on balance sheet items. Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk weighting. All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core or Tier 1 capital. These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

	As of September 30, 2013
	"Well Capitalized Minimums"		Actual
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
Consolidated	5.00	%	9.03	%
Bank	5.00	%	9.07	%

Tier 1 Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	6.00	%	13.73	%
Bank	6.00	%	13.80	%

Total Risk-based Capital Ratio
Consolidated	10.00	%	14.82	%
Bank	10.00	%	14.89	%

At September 30, 2013, the Company and its subsidiary satisfied the minimum regulatory capital requirements and were well capitalized within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), a Company's “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company maintains such controls designed to ensure this material information is communicated to Management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report are effective. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter in the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings in the normal course of business and otherwise. It is our belief that the ultimate resolution of such other claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
