Competition
The company experiences substantial competition both in attracting and retaining savings deposits and in the making of mortgage and other loans. Directo competition for savings deposits comes from other savings institutions, credit unions, regional bank holding companies and commercial banks. Significant competition for our other deposit products and services comes from money market mutual funds and brokerage firms. Our direct competitors include three banks, two of which are branches of large regional banks headquartered outside the company's market area, and one branch of a credit union headquartered outside the company's market area. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and loan origination fees and the quality and range of services offered by various financial institutions. Competition for origination of real estate loans normally comes from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers. The company's principal primary competition comes from financial institutions headquartered in our primary market area and from various non-local commercial banks that have branch offices located in the company's primary market area. Many competing financial institutions have financial resources substantially greater than the company's and offer a wider variety of deposit and loan products. The company's principal competitive strategy has been to emphasize quality customer service.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used for general corporate purposes.
