Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited) (continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Consumers Bancorp, Inc.’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008. The results of operations for the interim period disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Consumers National Bank (the “Bank”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Information: Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking, which accounts for substantially all of the revenues, operating income, and assets.

Earnings per Share: Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 2,029,558 and 2,048,422 for the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 2,029,558 and 2,055,134 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Corporation’s capital structure contains no dilutive securities.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material. In October, 2008, the FASB issued Staff

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

Position (FSP) 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset when the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of FAS 157 in a market that is not active. The Corporation applied this FSP to its trust preferred security holding during the second fiscal quarter of 2009. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information related to the adoption of this FSP.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Corporation on July 1, 2008. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of July 1, 2008.

The Corporation conducts other-than-temporary impairment analyses on a quarterly basis. The initial indication of other-than-temporary impairment is a decline in the fair value below the amount recorded for an investment, and the severity and duration of the decline. In determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Corporation considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost, recent events specific to the issuer, including investment downgrades by rating agencies and economic conditions of its industry, and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.

At December 31, 2008, the trust preferred security, which represent pooled trust preferred securities issued by other financial institutions and insurance companies, had an amortized cost of $981 and a fair value of $458. At December 31, 2008, the trust preferred security did not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices and therefore was classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of this security has been calculated using a discounted cash flow model and market liquidity premium as permitted by FSP 157-3. With the current market conditions, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities has greater subjectivity due to the lack of observable market transactions. The fair value of this security has declined due to the fact that subsequent offerings of similar securities pay a higher market rate of return. This higher rate of return reflects the increased credit and liquidity risks in the marketplace.

Due to an increase in principal and/or interest deferrals by the issuers of the underlying securities, the trust preferred security is deferring cash interest payments. Interest owed the Corporation is being added to the bond balance (capitalized). Since the security is projected to continue to defer interest payments until December 2009, management decided not to capitalize the interest at this time. The trust preferred security the Corporation owns continues to be rated as investment grade with a “Baa1” rating by Moody’s and a “A” rating by Fitch, however it has been placed on “rating watch negative” by both of these rating agencies. Based on management’s evaluation of the trust preferred security, the present value of the projected cash flows is sufficient for full re-payment of the amortized cost of the security and, therefore it is believed the decline in fair value is temporary due to current market conditions. However, without recovery of this security in the near term, other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods.

At December 31, 2008, 99.5 percent of the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities were issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while only 0.5 percent of the holdings were in private-label mortgage-backed securities. The private-label mortgage-backed security is AAA rated and comprised of seasoned loans with low loan-to-value.

Management does not consider any of its securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2008. The Corporation has the intent and ability to hold these securities until the fair value is recovered, which may be maturity.

At December 31, 2008, available-for-sale securities included municipal securities issued by Farmersville, Texas school district that are insured by Permanent School Fund Guarantee with an aggregate book value of $2,185, or 10.3%, of shareholders’ equity. Other than this issue, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies and corporations, with an aggregate book value which exceeds 10% of shareholders’ equity.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurement

As discussed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Corporation adopted fair value accounting standard Statement No. 157 effective July 1, 2008. Statement No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:

Securities: Where available, the fair values of available-for-sale securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow model and market liquidity premium (Level 3 inputs). With the current market conditions, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities have greater subjectivity due to the lack of observable market transactions.

Federal bank and other restricted stocks includes stock acquired for regulatory purposes, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock that are accounted for at cost; and therefore, are not subject to the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 157.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements which require assets and liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Impaired loans are generally measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral supporting the loan. Evaluating impaired loan collateral is based on level 3 inputs utilizing outside appraisals adjusted by management for sales costs and other assumptions regarding market conditions to arrive at fair value. As of December 31, 2008, impaired loans had a carrying value of $1,442, with a valuation allowance of $319; resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $78 being recorded for the six month period ended December 31, 2008.

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

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

General

The following is management’s analysis of the Corporation’s results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007, and the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 compared to June 30, 2008. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial condition than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Consumers Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, owns all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Consumers National Bank, a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America. The Corporation’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of the Bank. The Bank’s business involves attracting deposits from businesses and individual customers and using such deposits to originate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans in its market area, consisting primarily of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank also invests in securities consisting primarily of U.S. government agency obligations, municipal obligations and mortgage-backed securities.

Results of Operations

Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and December 30, 2007

Net Income

Net income increased by $50 and $180 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. The increase in net income was mainly attributable to an increase in net interest income and service charges on deposit accounts. Earnings per common share were $0.26 and $0.54 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $0.23 and $0.45, respectively, for the same periods last year.

Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 10.75% and 0.87%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 compared to 9.64% and 0.88%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

ROE and ROA were 11.12% and 0.91%, respectively, for the 2009 fiscal year-to-date period compared to 9.43% and 0.87%, respectively, for the same periods last year.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component

of the Corporation’s earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volumes, rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) by total average interest-earning assets. FTE income includes tax-exempt income, restated to a pre-tax equivalent, based on the statutory federal income tax rate. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accruing loans are included in average loan balances.

The Corporation’s net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was 4.46%, compared to 4.47% for the same period last year. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $243, or 11.2%, to $2,414 from $2,171 for the same period last year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of funds and an increase in average interest-earning assets. The Corporation’s cost of funds declined from 3.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to 2.17% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 mainly due to lower market rates affecting the rates paid on all interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowings.

The Corporation’s net interest margin for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was 4.51%, compared to 4.57% for the same period last year. Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $566, or 13.1%, to $4,887 from $4,321 for the same period last year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of funds and an increase in average interest-earning assets. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased from 3.17% for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to 2.22% for the six months ended December 31, 2008 mainly due to lower market rates affecting the rates paid on all interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowings. Interest-earning assets increased by $28,671, or an annualized 29.2%, during the first six months of fiscal year 2009 compared to the previous year ago period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio that have been incurred at each balance sheet date. The provision for loan losses increased to $129 and $276 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2008, respectively, compared to $108 and $208 for the same periods last year.

The increased provision for loan losses for the six month period ended December 31, 2008 resulted mainly from lower collateral value assumptions on non-accrual loans based on current market valuations. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2008 was 1.25% up from 1.12% at June 30, 2008 and from 1.03% a year ago. This increase is a result of management’s concerns about the current economic conditions, the higher level of unemployment in our market areas and the depressed real estate values in the markets where we lend affecting the underlying collateral values.

Non-accrual loans were $1,729 as of December 31, 2008 and represented 1.10% of total loans and leases. This compared with $1,433, or 0.94%, at June 30, 2008 and $1,178, or 0.80%, as of December 31, 2007. The increase in non-performing assets from June 30, 2008 was mainly related to one loan relationship within the commercial real estate portfolio. As of December 31, 2008, management does not believe the Corporation has a material loss exposure on this relationship.

The provision for loan losses as of December 31, 2008 was considered sufficient by management for maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income increased to $624 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, compared to $614 for the same period last year. During the first six months of fiscal year 2009, non-interest income increased to $1,287 compared with $1,175 for the same period last year. For the fiscal year-to-date period, service charges on deposits increased by $95 mainly due to an increase in overdraft fee income from increased volume and other income increased by $18 mainly due to an increase in debit card interchange income. Also, within non-interest income an $8 gain on the sale of securities was recognized compared to a $4 loss for the same period last year.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased by 8.2%, to $2,230, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, compared to $2,061 during the same period last year. Within non-interest expenses, salaries and employee benefits increased by $44, or 4.1%, mainly due to the addition of experienced business development officers and increased expenses related to employee health insurance. Data processing expenses increased by $73 for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2009 mainly due to a data system upgrade of the core processing

system that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Corporation moved from completing the data processing in-house to an out-sourced environment. As a result of this change, long-term cost savings are projected through reduced personnel expense, lower future capital expenditures and reduced expenses related to electronic funds transfer processing. Other non-interest expenses increased by $52 mainly due to higher deposit insurance expense as a result of fully using the one time credit received from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in April 2007.

Non-interest expenses increased by 9.0%, to $4,477 during the first six months of fiscal year 2009, compared to $4,106 during the same period last year. Within non-interest expenses, salaries and employee benefits increased by $77, or 3.6%, mainly due to the addition of experienced business development officers and increased expenses related to employee health insurance. These increases were partially offset by a reduction to the accrual for salary continuation benefits triggered by the departure of the previous chief executive officer.

Professional fees increased by $83 mainly due to increased audit expenses associated with SOX 404 compliance.

Data processing expenses increased by $143 for the first six months of the fiscal year 2009 mainly due to a data system upgrade of the core processing system that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Corporation moved from completing the data processing in-house to an out-sourced environment. As a result of this change, long-term cost savings are projected through reduced personnel expense, lower future capital expenditures and reduced expenses related to electronic funds transfer processing.

Other non-interest expenses increased by $67 mainly due to due to higher deposit insurance expense as a result of fully using the one time credit received from the FDIC in April 2007. FDIC insurance expense is expected to continue to increase as proposed rate increases go into effect on January 1, 2009.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $13, to $153 from $140, compared to a year ago. The effective tax rate was 22.5% for the current quarter as compared to 22.7% for the same period last year.

Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2008 increased by $59, to $325 from $266, compared to a year ago. The effective tax rate was 22.9% for the current six months as compared to 22.5% for the same period last year. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of tax-exempt income from obligations of states and political subdivisions, loans and earnings on bank owned life insurance.

Financial Condition

Total assets at December 31, 2008 were $239,769 compared to $233,077 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $6,692, or an annualized 5.7%. The increase in total assets was mainly attributed to an increase in available-for-sale securities and an increase in loan receivables.

Available-for-sale securities increased by $4,963 from $59,212 at June 30, 2008 to $64,175 at December 31, 2008. Within the securities portfolio, the Corporation owns a trust preferred security, which represents pooled trust preferred securities issued by other financial and insurance companies, which had an amortized cost of $981 and a fair value of $458 as of December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, the trust preferred security did not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices and therefore was classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of this security has been calculated using a discounted cash flow model and market liquidity premium as permitted by FSP 157-3. With the current market conditions, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities has greater subjectivity due to the lack of observable market transactions. The fair value of this security has declined due to the fact that subsequent offerings of similar securities pay a higher market rate of return. This higher rate of return reflects the increased credit and liquidity risks in the marketplace.

Due to an increase in principal and/or interest deferrals by the issuers of the underlying securities, the trust preferred security is deferring cash interest payments. Interest owed the Corporation is being added to the bond balance (capitalized). Since the security is projected to continue to defer interest payments until December 2009, management decided not to capitalize the interest at this time. The trust preferred security the Corporation owns continues to be rated as investment grade with a “Baa1” rating by Moody’s and a “A” rating by Fitch, however it has been placed on “rating watch negative” by both of these rating agencies. Based on management’s evaluation of the trust preferred security, the present value of the projected cash flows is sufficient for full re-payment of the amortized cost of the security and, therefore it is believed the decline in fair value is temporary due to current market conditions. However, without recovery of

this security in the near term, other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods.

Loan receivables increased by $4,783 to $157,133 at December 31, 2008 compared to $152,350 at June 30, 2008. The current increase in loan receivables is mainly attributable to more targeted calling efforts by the lending officers for qualified borrowers.

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $1,637 from June 30, 2008, to $21,208 as of December 31, 2008. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the fair value of available-for-sale securities and net income for the current six month period. These increases were partially offset by cash dividends paid during the period.

As of December 31, 2008, impaired loans totaled $1,422, all of which are included in non-accrual loans. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are classified as impaired if management determines that full collection of principal and interest, in accordance with the terms of the loan documents, is not probable. Impaired loans and non-performing loans have been considered in management’s analysis of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Management and the Board of Directors are closely monitoring these loans and believe that the prospects for recovery of principal and interest, less identified specific reserves, are favorable.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure adequate cash flows to accommodate the demands of our customers and provide adequate flexibility for the Corporation to take advantage of market opportunities under both normal operating conditions and under unpredictable circumstances of industry or market stress. Cash is used to fund loans, purchase investments, fund the maturity of liabilities, and at times to fund deposit outflows and operating activities. The Corporation’s principal sources of funds are deposits; amortization and prepayments of loans; maturities, sales and principal receipts from securities; borrowings; and operations. Management considers the asset position of the Corporation to be sufficiently liquid to meet normal operating needs and conditions. The Corporation’s earning assets are mainly comprised of loans and investment securities. Management continually strives to obtain the best mix of loans and investments to both maximize yield and insure the soundness of the portfolio, as well as to provide funding for loan demand as needed.

Net cash from operating activities for the six month period ended December 31, 2008 was $1,241, net cash outflows from investing activities was $(6,087) and net cash from financing activities was $4,899. The major sources of cash were $4,487 net increase in deposits, $1,506 net increase in short-term borrowings and $11,404 from sales, maturities or principal pay downs on available-for-sale securities. The major uses of cash were the $14,888 purchase of securities and a $4,799 net increase in loans. Total cash and cash equivalents was $6,690 as of December 31, 2008 compared to $6,313 at December 31, 2007.

The Bank offers several types of deposit products to its customers. The rates offered by the Bank and the fees charged for them are competitive with others available currently in the market area. While the Bank continues to be under competitive pressures in the Bank’s market area as financial institutions attempt to retain and attract new deposits, many commercial and retail customers have been turning to community banking in these difficult economic times. This, in part, is credited with helping the Corporation to increase deposits by $4,487, or an annualized 4.7%, during the first six months of fiscal year 2009 while reducing the overall cost for funds by 95 basis points from the same year ago period.

To provide an additional source of liquidity, the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati. At December 31, 2008, FHLB advances totaled $9,913 as compared with $10,601 at June 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $13,754 from the FHLB based on a blanket pledge of qualifying first mortgage loans. The Corporation

considers the FHLB to be a reliable source of liquidity funding, secondary to its deposit base.

Short-term borrowings consisted of repurchase agreements which is a financing arrangement that matures daily. The Bank pledges securities as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Short-term borrowings increased by $1,506 from June 30, 2008 mainly due to deposits received from local municipalities.

Jumbo time deposits (those with balances of $100 thousand and over) increased from $23,715 at June 30, 2008 to $24,566 at December 31, 2008. These deposits are monitored closely by the Corporation and are mainly priced on an individual basis. When these deposits are from a municipality, certain bank-owned securities are pledged to guarantee the safety of these public fund deposits as required by Ohio law. The Corporation has the option to use a fee-paid broker to obtain deposits from outside its normal service area as an additional source of funding. The Corporation however, does not rely upon these deposits as a primary source of funding. Although management monitors interest rates on an ongoing basis, a quarterly rate sensitivity report is used to determine the effect of interest rate changes on the financial statements. In the opinion of management, enough assets or liabilities could be repriced over the near term (up to three years) to compensate for such changes. The spread on interest rates, or the difference between the average earning assets and the average interest-bearing liabilities, is monitored quarterly.

Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective-action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. The Bank is considered well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act at December 31, 2008. Management is not aware of any matters occurring subsequent to December 31, 2008 that would cause the Bank’s capital category to change.

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, or EESA, was signed into law providing for, among other things, $700 billion in funding to the U.S. Treasury to purchase troubled assets from financial institutions. On October 14, 2008, the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a joint statement announcing additional steps aimed at stabilizing the financial markets, including a $250 billion voluntary Capital Purchase Program, or CPP, that allows qualifying financial institutions to sell preferred shares to the Treasury. Institutions that participate in the CPP are restricted in their ability to make future stock repurchases and to increase dividend payments to shareholders for a period of three years. The Corporation’s Board of Directors and management have

evaluated the benefits and drawbacks of participation in the CPP, have reviewed these analyses with the Corporation’s financial and legal advisors, and have determined not to apply for funds under the CPP, given the Corporation’s current and historical status as a well capitalized financial institution.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial condition and results of operations for the Corporation presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are, to a large degree, dependent upon the Corporation’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

The Company has identified the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of securities as critical accounting policies and an understanding of these policies are necessary to understand the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Footnote one (Securities and Allowance for Loan Losses), footnote two (Securities), footnote three (Loans) and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operation (Critical Accounting Policies) of the 2008 Form 10-K provide detail with regard to the Corporation’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses. There have been no significant changes in the application of accounting policies since June 30, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this report (including information incorporated by reference in this report), the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond the Corporation’s control, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Any such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report or the respective dates of the relevant incorporated documents, as the case may be, and, except as required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Factors that could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to:

 

   

regional and national economic conditions becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality of

assets and the underlying value of collateral could prove to be less valuable than otherwise assumed;

 

   

material unforeseen changes in the financial condition or results of Consumers National Bank’s customers;

 

   

changes in levels of market interest rates which could reduce anticipated or actual margins;

 

   

competitive pressures on product pricing and services;

 

   

the nature, extent, and timing of government and regulatory actions; and

 

   

a continued deterioration in market conditions causing debtors to be unable to meet their obligations.

The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Corporation faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Corporation. Should any known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, those developments could have material adverse effects on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
