1 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20549 FORM 10-QSB/A AMENDMENT NO. 1 X QUARTERLY REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15(d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the quarterly period ended March 31,2006 OR ___ TRANSITION REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OR 15 (d) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 For the transition period from _______ to _________ Commission File Number 333-67435 CITIZENS FIRST CORPORATION (Exact Name of Small Business Issuer as Specified in its Charter) KENTUCKY 61-0912615 (State or Other Jurisdiction of (I.R.S.

The Amended Report is being filed to restate the Registrant's previously reported financial information for the period ended March 31, 2006 to correct errors related to the 5% stock dividend issued by the Registrant in May 2005. A reclassification in stockholders' equity from retained earnings to common stock to reflect the value of the stock dividend issued was not recorded in the Initial Report. As a result, in the Registrant's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, included in the Initial Report, retained earnings was overstated by $649,000 and common stock was understated by $649,000 for both periods. These accounts have been properly reclassified on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 in the Amended Report. Total stockholders' equity was not affected by the reclassification. In addition, all references to earnings per share have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend that was issued on June 30, 2006 to record holders of the common stock on May 31, 2006. 2 3 CITIZENS FIRST CORPORATION TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE NO.

(the "Bank"), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company's net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. All references to stock options, earnings per share and the amount of common stock issued and outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the 5% common stock dividend that was distributed on May 30, 2005, to record holders of common stock on April 29, 2005. In addition, all references to earnings per share have been restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend that was issued on June 30, 2006 to record holders of common stock on May 31, 2006. STOCK OPTION PLANS In 2002, the board of directors adopted the employee stock option plan, which became effective upon the approval of the Company's shareholders at the annual meeting in April 2003. The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an incentive to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries and to use their best efforts on its behalf. 126,000 shares of Company common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. Options expire after ten years, and vest ratably over a three year period. In 2003, the board of directors adopted the non-employee director stock option plan for non-employee directors, which became effective subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders at the annual meeting in April 2003. The purpose of the plan is to assist the Company in promoting a greater identity of interest between the Company's non-employee directors and shareholders, and in attracting and retaining non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in the Company's future successes. 42,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the plan. Options granted expire after ten years, and are immediately vested. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of FASB Statement No. 123 Revised (SFAS 123R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, effective January 1, 2006. In 2005 and previous years, these plans were measured under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Prior to 2006, no stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB 123 (revised) for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. 8 9 Quarter Ended March 31,2005 --------------------- Net income, as reported $ 451,216 Less: Total stock-based employee compensation cost determined under the fair value based method, net of income taxes, not expensed during the quarter 26,747 Pro forma net income $ 424,469 Earnings per share: Basic - as reported $ 0.35 Basic - pro forma $ 0.32 Diluted - as reported $ 0.29 Diluted - pro forma $ 0.27 The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of the grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2006 2005 -------- -------- Dividend yields .............................................. 0% 0% Volatility factors of expected market price of common stock .. 21.39% 21.17% Risk-free interest rates ..................................... 4.58% 3.97% Expected life of options ..................................... 7 Years 6 Years Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 7.08 $ 4.69 * The dividend yield was estimated using historical dividends paid and market value information for the Company's stock. An increase in dividend yield will decrease compensation expense. * The volatility was estimated using historical volatility for periods approximating the expected option life. * The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. For the quarter end March 31, 2006, compensation expense recorded was $46,514. As of March 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $504,011 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years. A summary of the status of the plans at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and changes during the periods then ended is presented below: 2006 2005 Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Shares Exercise Price Shares Exercise Price ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, beginning of year 95,603 $ 14.33 51,030 $ 13.50 Granted 40,000 19.76 42,000 14.33 Exercised -- -- (1,575) 13.30 Forfeited -- -- (735) 13.57 Expired -- -- -- -- Outstanding, end of period 135,603 $ 15.93 90,720 $ 14.58 Options exercisable, end of period 49,157 21,832 9 10 The weighted average remaining term for outstanding stock options was 8.93 years at March 31, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value at March 31, 2006 was $755,368 for stock options outstanding and $374,106 for stock options exercisable. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of the Company's common stock as of the reporting date. Options outstanding at March 31, 2006 were as follows: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Number Weighted-Average Remaining Weighted-Average Number Weighted-Average Prices Outstanding Contractual Life Exercise Price Exercisable Exercise Price -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0-$13.57 41,790 7.87 years $13.49 30,660 $13.46 $13.58-$14.33 38,168 8.83 years $14.33 12,722 $14.33 $14.34-$19.76 55,645 9.79 years $18.86 5,775 $15.19 As of December 31, 2005, there were no options that were antidilutive. The number of options have been adjusted to reflect the 2005 stock dividend, in accordance with plan provisions. There have been no adjustments to the tables in this note related to the 2006 5% stock dividend. (2) RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statements to conform to the 2006 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings. (3) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the stated periods was as follows: March 31, March 31, ---------- --------- 2006 2005 Balance, beginning of year ............................ $1,957,220 $1,720,565 Provision charged to expense ........................ -- 35,000 Loans charged off, net of recoveries of $244 for March 31, 2006 and $67,669 for March 31, 2005 .... 51,324 11,149 ---------- --------- Balance, March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively ......................................... $1,905,896 $1,766,714 ========== ========== (4) ACQUISITION OF COMMONWEALTH MORTGAGE AND SOUTHERN KENTUCKY LAND TITLE On January 2, 2003, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding stock of Commonwealth Mortgage of Bowling Green, Inc. and Southern Kentucky Land Title, Inc. Commonwealth Mortgage originates 1-4 family residential mortgages for sale in the secondary mortgage market, while Southern Kentucky Land Title provides title insurance agency services for real estate purchase contracts. The purchase price for Commonwealth Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title consisted of $400,000 in cash plus a deferred contingent purchase price of up to $1,350,000 payable upon the combined entities' achievement of specified annual earnings targets over a five year period, plus 25% of the amount, if any, by which their earnings exceed such targets. 25% of the deferred purchase price will be paid by the issuance of the Company's common stock, valued at the average of the closing sales price of the stock over the last ten trading days of the applicable calendar year. At the former Commonwealth shareholders' option, an additional 25% of such deferred purchase price, if any, may be paid in shares of the Company's common stock. The deferred contingent purchase price is accounted for as additional purchase price at the time the contingency is resolved. The Bank also purchased the .2 acre site on which the main office of Commonwealth Mortgage is located for a purchase price of $272,500 in cash. Goodwill recognized in the initial transaction amounted to $380,000. In January 2004, the Bank paid $162,401 in cash, and in April 2004 the Company issued 3,790 shares of the Company's common stock, to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the first installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. In January 2005, the Bank paid $251,717 in cash, and in March 2005 the Company issued 5,778 shares of the Company's common stock to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the second installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. In January 2006, the Bank paid $246,060 in cash to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the third installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. At March 31, 2006, goodwill from this transaction totaled $1,264,516. 10 11 The acquisition of Commonwealth Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title was completed to give the Bank an expanded presence in the local mortgage origination market, to further expand the Bank's customer service offerings and to supplement the Bank's non-interest fee income. (5) CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OFFERING The Company completed during the third quarter of 2004 the private placement of 250 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $31,992 per share (Preferred Stock), for an aggregate purchase price of $7,998,000. The Preferred Stock was sold for $31,992 per share, is entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual fixed rate of 6.5% and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price per share of $15.50 on and after three years from the date of issuance. The sale of the Preferred Stock netted proceeds to the Company of $7,659,340, of which $3,011,970 (including $3,000,000 in principal and $11,970 in accrued interest) was used to repay the outstanding balance under the Company's line of credit, and $3,800,000 was contributed to the capital of the Bank. The remaining proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Stock are being used for general corporate purposes, including the contribution of capital to the Bank. (6) EARNINGS PER SHARE All references to earnings per share have been restated to reflect the stock dividends issued in 2005 and 2006. There are no anti-dilutive stock options. Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share have been computed the same as basic earnings per share, and assumes the conversion of outstanding vested stock options and convertible preferred stock. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the quarters ending March 31, 2006 and 2005. QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 ------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- WEIGHTED-AVERAGE WEIGHTED-AVERAGE SHARES PER SHARE SHARES PER SHARE INCOME AMOUNT INCOME AMOUNT ------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE Net income .............. $ 549,289 $ 451,216 Less: Dividends on ...... preferred stock .......

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Citizens First Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Kentucky on December 24, 1975 for the purpose of conducting business as an investment club, and is headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In late 1998 and early 1999, the Company received regulatory approval to become a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, through its organization and ownership of its subsidiary, Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the "Bank"). The Company, through the Bank, is now involved in the banking business, primarily serving customers in the Bowling Green/Warren County market and in the Franklin/Simpson County market. As of March 31, 2006, the Company and Bank employed seventy-two employees (sixty-three full-time equivalent employees). The Bank commenced operations in February 1999 at 1805 Campbell Lane, Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Bank opened a branch office at 901 Lehman Avenue, Bowling Green, Kentucky in March 1999. In January 2003 the Bank acquired Commonwealth Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title, Inc. located at 1301U.S. Highway 31-W Bypass in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Bank opened branch offices at 2451 Fitzgerald-Industrial Drive, Bowling Green, Kentucky and at 1200 South Main Street, Franklin, Kentucky in February 2003. During the first quarter of 2006, the Bank moved its main office headquarters to, and opened a retail branch at 1065 Ashley Street in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Approximately 15,000 square feet of the first floor of this building is leased. The bank offices are primarily occupied by senior management, commercial lenders, deposit operations, loan accounting, finance, and information systems personnel. The Bank's mortgage company operations have relocated to the Campbell Lane location, which also houses a branch office of the Bank. The Bank was organized as a community oriented, full service alternative to the super-regional financial institutions which dominate its primary service area. The Bank's mission is to firmly establish itself in its primary service area as a community owned and operated full-service bank providing traditional products and services typically offered by commercial banks. The Bank believes that its ability to compete is enhanced by its local management and its base of local shareholders and directors. The Bank has emphasized and intends to continue emphasizing its Bowling Green and southern Kentucky roots, and the Bank has a philosophy of giving its customers prompt and responsive personal service. The Company's corporate strategy focuses on providing the Bank's customers with high quality, personal banking services. The Bank offers products designed to meet the needs of its customers that include individuals, small businesses, partnerships and corporations. The Bank provides a full range of corporate and retail banking services that include checking, savings, and time deposit accounts; secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals, and others; letters of credit; rental of safe deposit boxes; and cash management services. The Bank also offers, through affiliations with third parties, trust services, investment management services, and business and personal insurance products. The Bank offers a full range of deposit services. Checking account services include regular non-interest bearing checking accounts as well as interest bearing negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts. Savings and certificate of deposit accounts include accounts ranging from a daily maturity (regular savings and also money market accounts) to longer-term certificates as authorized by law. In addition, retirement accounts such as IRA's (Individual Retirement Accounts) are available. All deposit accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the full amount permitted by law. Deposit accounts are solicited from individuals, businesses, professional organizations and governmental authorities. Lending services include a full range of commercial, personal, and mortgage loans. The Bank's primary focus is on business lending. The types of commercial loans that are available include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of machinery and equipment. The Bank does not emphasize real estate lending for land acquisition, land development or open-end construction loans. The types of personal loans that are available include secured and unsecured loans for such purposes as financing automobiles, home improvements, education and personal investments. The Bank originates, processes and closes residential real estate loans that are then primarily sold on the secondary market (each individually) to a correspondent. 13 14 The Bank offers credit cards (through correspondent banking services) including MasterCard (TM) and Visa(TM) as well as a personal checking account related line of credit. The line of credit is available for both protection against unexpected overdrafts and also for the convenience of having a pre-arranged loan that can be activated simply by a check drawn on a personal checking account. Other services offered include, but are not limited to, safe deposit boxes, letters of credit, travelers checks, direct deposit of payroll, social security and dividend payments and automatic payment of insurance premiums and mortgage loans. The Bank does not have a proprietary automated teller machine network but participates in a national ATM network through the FiServ EFT network, and through the Visa Debit Card Program. The Kentucky counties of Warren and Simpson are designated as the Bank's primary service area. This area economy is diversified, with financial and other service industries representing the largest industry segment. In the recent past the area's unemployment rate has been consistent with the national unemployment rate. The Company's competition in the local market consists of community, regional and national financial institutions. In the Bank's primary service area, there are 16 commercial banks, of which four are considered to have their headquarters in the Bank's service area. As of June 30, 2005, these institutions have combined deposits of $1.57 billion, according to data compiled by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, there are various credit unions, mortgage companies, and other commercial banks that have loan production offices in the area. The Bank encounters strong competition from these financial institutions, for deposits, loans, and other financial services, as well as from insurance companies, brokerage firms and other financial institutions, some of which are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restrictions as the Bank. Several of these competitors have greater resources and lending limits than the Bank has to offer, and may provide certain services, such as international banking services, which the Bank is not providing. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the financial services industry. The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheet. Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses, and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included under "Asset Quality" below. Loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management's estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Company. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The Company evaluates the collectibility of both principal and interest when assessing the need for a loss accrual. Historical loss rates are applied to other loans not subject to reserve allocations. These historical loss rates may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, reflect the impact of any 14 15 current conditions on loss recognition. Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in internal lending policies and credit standards, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the Company's internal credit examiners. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring losses when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. Reserves on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience. The Company has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. Based on the procedures discussed above, management is of the opinion that the reserve of $1,905,896 was adequate, but not excessive, to absorb estimated credit losses associated with the loan portfolio at March 31, 2006. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $549,289, or $0.45 and $0.36 per basic and diluted common share, respectively, compared to net income of $451,216, or $.35 and $0.29 per basic and diluted common share, respectively, for the same period ended March 31, 2005. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income was $2,086,279 in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $1,746,711 in the comparable period in 2005. First quarter 2006 interest income of $3,233,253, an increase of $820,482 or 34.0% over the same period total of $2,412,771 in 2005, includes $2,987,649 income on loans, $121,388 income on securities, and $124,216 income on federal funds sold and other interest-bearing accounts. Interest income of $2,412,771 during the first quarter of 2005 included $2,279,683 of income on loans, $119,863 income on investment securities, and $13,225 income on federal funds sold and other interest-bearing accounts. Interest expense of $1,146,974 for the first quarter of 2006, up $480,914 or 72.2% from the same period in 2005, consists of interest on deposits of $1,018,267, and on other borrowings of $128,707. First quarter 2005 interest expense of $666,060 consisted of interest on deposits of $581,683, and interest on other borrowings of $84,377. An increase in yields on interest earning assets, coupled with an increase in the amount of interest earning assets, contributed to the increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same quarter of 2005. The increase in yields on interest earning assets during the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, is primarily attributable to the increase by 275 basis points of short-term interest rates since the beginning of 2005. The Bank is asset sensitive, meaning assets reprice faster to changes in short-term rates than do liabilities. In a rising short-term rate environment, such as occurred during the first quarter of 2006, more of the Bank's interest earning assets, primarily loans, reprice up faster than do the liabilities, specifically certificates of deposit. The increase in interest expense in the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, was due to both the increased average cost of deposits during 2006, as short term rates have increased by 275 basis points since the beginning of 2005, the increased average amount of interest bearing deposits compared to the first quarter of 2005 and the increase in long-term debt. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company did not record a provision for loan loss expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The provision for loan losses expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $35,000. As shown in the table in Footnote 3, the Company had net charge-offs of loans totaling $51,324 for the first quarter of 2006, compared to net charge-offs of loans totaling $11,149 for the first quarter of 2005. See a discussion of asset quality included in the Asset Quality section of the Balance Sheet Review. 15 16 NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, was $319,980 and $331,896, a decrease of $11,916 or 3.6%. Income from service charges on deposit accounts decreased $15,345, or 8.0%, to $176,801 during the first quarter of 2006 from $192,146 for the first quarter of 2005. Despite an overall increase in deposit accounts for the periods, fee income from insufficient fund charges decreased, offsetting other account fees. Other service charges and fees decreased $14,094 from $34,434 during the first quarter of 2005 to $20,340 for the first quarter of 2006. Income from the sale of mortgage loans decreased $28,312, to $54,470 during the first quarter of 2006 from $82,782 in the same period of 2005. The decrease in the sale of mortgage loans in 2006 is primarily due to less activity in the refinancing market as interest rates have risen. Lease income increased $47,779 in the first quarter of 2006 reflecting the lease to third parties of unused office space in the Company's recently acquired headquarter building. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense was $1,573,111 in the first quarter of 2006, up from $1,359,891 in the same quarter of 2005, an increase of $213,220 or 15.7%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $215,389 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company recorded a stock option expense for the first time in the first quarter in the amount of $46,514. In addition, an increase in the number of employees in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005 caused salary costs and related benefit costs to increase for 2006 approximately $140,000 as compared to 2005. The 401K plan established as of January 1, 2006 increased benefit costs by $14,646. Net occupancy expense increased $50,384 from $87,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $138,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is primarily related to costs associated with the new headquarters building. Professional fees decreased $35,758 from $94,855 for the period ending March 31, 2005 to $59,097 for the period ending March 31, 2006 as a lawsuit associated with the recovery of a large commercial loan was completed. Other expense decreased $43,173 from $143,307 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $100,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense has been calculated based on the Company's expected annual rate for 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, income tax expense totaled $283,859 compared to $232,500 for the same period of 2005. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. BALANCE SHEET REVIEW OVERVIEW Total assets at March 31, 2006 were $203,807,914, up from $195,501,544 at December 31, 2005 and up from $172,098,548 a year ago. Average total assets for the first quarter of 2006 were $196,149,375, up $25,349,003 from the first quarter of 2005 average of $170,800,372. LOANS At March 31, 2006, loans (excluding mortgage loans held for sale) totaled $161,915,409, compared with $157,568,996 at December 31, 2005 and $148,341,645 a year ago, an increase of $4,346,413 and $13,573,764 respectively. Loans averaged $159,036,866 during the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $12,341,937 or 8.4%, over the average total of $146,694,929 for the first quarter of 2005. 16 17 ASSET QUALITY Non-performing loans are defined as non-accrual loans, loans accruing but past due 90 days or more, and restructured loans. Management classifies commercial and commercial real estate loans as non-accrual when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and the loan is not adequately collateralized and is in the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the obligation. Consumer loans are charged off after 120 days of delinquency unless adequately secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans are not reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought current and future payments appear reasonably certain. Loans are categorized as restructured if the original interest rate, repayment terms, or both were restructured due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. However, restructured loans that demonstrate performance under the restructured terms and that yield a market rate of interest may be removed from restructured status in the year following the restructure. The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $284,274 at March 31, 2006, compared to $256,993 at December 31, 2005 and $612,365 at March 31, 2005. The non-performing loan total at March 31, 2006 includes one loan in the amount of $177,944 that was added to non-performing loans in the third quarter of 2005. The loan is to an electrical contractor who has filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The loan is 75% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Also included are four loans on non-accrual that total $58,438 and three loans totaling $47,891 that were greater than 90 days past due. Non-performing assets are defined as non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate, and other foreclosed property. The Bank had non-performing assets of $427,221 at the end of the first quarter of 2006, comprised of the above mentioned non-performing loans and $142,947 of other real estate owned and repossessed assets. The Bank had non-performing assets of $256,993 at December 31, 2005, comprised entirely of non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance for loan losses was $1,905,896 at March 31, 2006, a decrease of $51,324, or 2.6% over the December 31, 2005 level of $1,957,220. The allowance represents 1.18% of period-end loans, compared to 1.24% of period-end loans at December 31, 2005. The allowance as a percentage of period-end loans decreased at March 31, 2006, compared to December 31, 2005, because no provision for loan losses was recorded for the period. During the first quarter of 2006, the dollar amout of loans internally classified as substandard or doubtful was reduced, resulting in a lower allocated portion of the allowance for loan losses. The level of the allowance is based on management's monthly review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and general economic conditions; followed by a quarterly review with the Board of Directors. Management's review and evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of historical trends, significant problem loans, current market value of real estate or collateral and certain economic and other factors affecting loans and real estate or collateral securing these loans. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management's estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Company. Historical loss rates are applied to other loans not subject to reserve allocations. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring losses when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. These historical loss rates may be adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition, including the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in internal lending policies and credit standards, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the Company's internal credit examiners. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the allowance and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed internally by personnel independent of the loan department. In addition, the allowance is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject to adjustment based upon information that is available to them at the time of their examination. 17 18 SECURITIES Securities (all classified as available for sale) increased from $12,057,724 at December 31, 2005 to $12,581,992 at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2005, securities totaled $12,399,301 . DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS Total deposits averaged $157,583,965 in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of $24,908,762 from the comparable 2005 quarter average of $132,675,203. As of March 31, 2006, total deposits were $164,986,746, and included $148,347,509 of interest bearing deposits. This compares to total deposits of $156,377,187 at December 31, 2005, which included $141,316,613 of interest bearing deposits. Total deposits at March 31, 2005, were $135,327,567, and included interest bearing deposits of $122,448,413. The Bank had $2,666,590 of deposits secured by securities sold under agreements to repurchase on March 31, 2006. These obligations, which mature in one business day, are swept daily from customers' demand deposit accounts. These balances averaged $3,006,519 during the first quarter of 2006. Other Borrowings. The Bank utilizes Federal Home Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) advances for funding and liability management. Advances are secured borrowings with terms ranging from overnight to thirty years. Rates vary based on the term to repayment, and are summarized below as of March 31, 2006: TYPE MATURITY RATE AMOUNT Fixed .............. May 26, 2006 3.90% $ 2,000,000 Fixed ..............

As of March 31, 2006, the line had not been drawn upon. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has adopted risk based capital and leverage ratio requirements for banks and bank holding companies.
