Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Operations: Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Minerva, Ohio that provides, through its banking subsidiary, a broad array of products and services throughout its primary market area of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. 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 primary market area.

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, 2009. 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.

Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 through February 12, 2010, the financial statement issuance date, determining no events require additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

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. Accordingly, all of its operations are recorded in one segment, banking.

Accounting Standards Codification: The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under

the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

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 2,031,377 and 2,029,558 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 2,030,622 and 2,029,558 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Corporation’s capital structure contains no dilutive securities.

Reclassifications: Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance: FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective January 1, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. However, the trust preferred security is evaluated using the model outlined in FASB ASC Topic 325, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transfer in Securitized Financial Assets.

In determining OTTI under the ASC Topic 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

The second segment of the portfolio uses the OTTI guidance provided by ASC Topic 325. Under the ASC Topic 325 model, the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date are compared to the current expected remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

The Corporation owns a trust preferred security, which represents collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) issued by other financial and insurance companies. As of December 31, 2009, the trust preferred security had an adjusted amortized cost of $801 after impairment charge of $180 and a fair value of $493. Due to the illiquidity in the market, it is unlikely the Corporation would be able to recover its investment in this security if the Corporation sold the security at this time.

Our analysis of the trust preferred security falls within the scope of ASC Topic 325. On December 31, 2009, Moody’s rated this security as Ca, which is defined as highly speculative. The issuers in this security are primarily banks, bank holding companies and a limited number of insurance companies. The Corporation uses the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to evaluate if there has been an adverse change in cash flows during the period. The OTTI model considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. We assume no recoveries on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults. In addition we use the model to “stress” the CDO, or make assumptions more severe than expected activity, to determine the degree to which assumptions could deteriorate before the CDO could no longer fully support repayment of the Corporation’s note class. According to the December 31, 2009 analysis, the expected cash flows were below the recorded amortized cost of the trust preferred security. Therefore, management determined it was appropriate to record an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $180 from this security during the second fiscal quarter of 2010. Management has reviewed this security and these conclusions with an independent third party. If there is further deterioration in the underlying collateral of this security, other-than-temporary impairments may also occur in future periods.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurement

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes 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: 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. Observable inputs for the Corporation’s trust preferred security and this class of investment have declined which has resulted in unreliable external pricing.

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 due to restrictions placed on their transferability; and therefore, are not subject to the fair value disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 820.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. Generally, non-recurring 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, 2009, impaired loans had a principal balance of $2,397, with a valuation allowance of $476; resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $177 being recorded for the six month period ended December 31, 2009.

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following assumptions were used. Estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand and savings deposits and short-term borrowings were considered to approximate carrying value for instruments that reprice frequently and fully. Fair value for loans was estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans that reprice at least annually and for fixed rate commercial loans with maturities of six months or less which possess normal risk characteristics, carrying value was determined to be fair value. Fair value of other types of loans (including adjustable rate loans which reprice less frequently than annually and fixed rate term loans or loans which possess higher risk characteristics) was estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar anticipated maturities. Fair value for impaired loans was based on recent appraisals of the collateral or, if appropriate, using estimated discounted cash flows. The Corporation has not considered market illiquidity in estimating the fair value of loans.

Fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits, was the amount payable on demand. Fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated using the rates offered at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Estimated fair value does not include the benefit that result from low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. Fair value of short-term borrowings and accrued interest was determined to be the carrying amounts since these financial instruments generally represent obligations that are due on demand. Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was estimated using current rates at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 for similar financing. The fair value of unrecorded commitments at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 was not material.

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, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008, and the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 compared to June 30, 2009. 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008

Net Income

Net income decreased by $25 and $30 for the three and six months periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in net income for the six month period was mainly attributable to a $67 increase in the provision for loan losses from the same period last year. Earnings per common share were $0.25 and $0.52 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $0.26 and $0.54, respectively, for the same periods last year.

Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 8.66% and 0.78%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to 10.75% and 0.87%, respectively, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

ROE and ROA were 9.42% and 0.84%, respectively, for the 2010 fiscal year-to-date period compared to 11.12% and 0.91%, 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, 2009 was 4.23%, compared to 4.46% for the same period a year ago. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $81, or 3.4%, to $2,495 from $2,414 for the same year ago period. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a decline in the Corporation’s cost of funds and an increase in the amount of interest-earning assets. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 1.45% for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 from 2.17% for the same year age period mainly due to lower market rates affecting the rates paid on all interest-bearing deposit accounts and short-term borrowings. The net interest income was also positively impacted by a $20,359, or 9.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.32% for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 from 6.14% from the same year ago period.

The Corporation’s net interest margin for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was 4.20%, compared to 4.51% for the same year ago period. Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $35, or 0.7%, to $4,922 from $4,887 for the same year ago period. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of a decline in the Corporation’s cost of funds and an increase in the dollar amount of interest-earning assets. The Corporation’s cost of funds decreased to 1.53% for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 from 2.22% for the same year age period mainly due to lower market rates affecting the rates paid on all interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowings. The net interest income was also positively impacted by a $17,991, or 8.1%, increase in average interest-earning assets. These increases were partially offset by a decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.37% for the six months ended December 31, 2009 from 6.21% from the same 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 by $12 and $67 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.

The increased provision for loan losses for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 resulted mainly from lower collateral value assumptions on non-accrual loans based on current market valuations as well as an increase in non-performing loans from the same period last year. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2009 was 1.30% up from 1.24% at June 30, 2009 and from 1.25% 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-performing loans were $2,648 as of December 31, 2009 and represented 1.59% of total loans. This compared with $2,804, or 1.75%, at June 30, 2009 and $1,729, or 1.10%, as of December 31, 2008. The provision for loan losses as of December 31, 2009 was considered sufficient by management for maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $540 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to $624 for the same period last year. For the second quarter, service charges on deposits decreased by $16 mainly due to a decline in overdraft fee income from reduced volume. Gains recognized on the sale of securities totaled $102 during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and $3 during the same year ago period. An other-than-temporary impairment loss of $180 related to a trust preferred security the Corporation owns was recorded during the second fiscal quarter of 2010.

Non-interest income increased to $1,290 during the first six months of fiscal year 2010, compared to $1,287 for the same period last year. Service charges on deposits decreased by $43 mainly due to a decline in overdraft fee income from reduced usage. Debit card interchange income increased by $26 mainly due to an increase in debit card usage. Gains recognized on the sale of securities totaled $213 during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 and $8 during the same year ago period. An other-than-temporary impairment loss of $180 related to a trust preferred security the Corporation owns was recorded during the second fiscal quarter of 2010. A discussion of this impairment loss is included on the following pages under the heading “Financial Condition”.

Non-Interest Expenses

Total non-interest expenses increased by 1.1%, to $2,255, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared with $2,230 during the same year ago period. Total non-interest expenses increased by 0.3%, to $4,492, during the first six months of fiscal year 2010, compared with $4,477 during the same year ago period.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $33, or 1.5%, during the first six months of fiscal year 2010 mainly due to an increase in salary continuation benefit expense since a reduction in this expense of approximately $140 was recognized during fiscal year 2009 as a result of the departure of the previous chief executive officer. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in overtime wages, the implementation of a ten percent reduction in hours for non-exempt personnel and a salary freeze for exempt personnel that went into effect during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $21, or 3.8%, during the first six month period of fiscal year 2010 mainly due to lower depreciation expense associated with furniture, fixtures and equipment.

FDIC insurance expense increased by $36 and $85 for the second quarter and the first six month periods of fiscal year 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. These increases were a result of an industry wide deposit insurance rate increase that went into effect on January 1, 2009.

Debit card processing expenses increased by $6, or 9.2%, and $12, or 9.2%, for the second quarter and the first six month periods of fiscal year 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. These increases were mainly the result of increased debit card usage by our customers.

Other expenses decreased by $45, or 11.5%, during the three month period ended December 31, 2009 compared with the same period last year mainly due to the renegotiation and non-renewal of miscellaneous contracts and other cost containment efforts related to office related expenses.

Other expenses decreased by $46, or 6.3%, during the first six month period of fiscal year 2010 mainly due to the renegotiation and non-renewal of miscellaneous contracts and other cost containment efforts related to travel, transportation and office related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in loan collection and other real estate expenses related to properties acquired through loan foreclosure.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $15, to $138 from $153, compared to a year ago. The effective tax rate was 21.6% for the current quarter as compared to 22.5% for the same period last year.

Income tax expense for the six month period ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $14, to $311 from $325, compared to a year ago. The effective tax rate was 22.6% for the current period as compared to 22.9% 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, 2009 were $254,175 compared to $251,862 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $2,313, or 1.8% on an annualized basis.

Available-for-sale securities increased by $2,349 from $60,775 at June 30, 2009 to $63,124 at December 31, 2009. Within the securities portfolio, the Corporation owns a trust preferred security, which represents CDOs issued by other financial and insurance companies. As of December 31, 2009, the trust preferred security had an amortized cost of $801 and a fair value of $493. Due to the illiquidity in the market, it is unlikely the Corporation would be able to recover its investment in this security if the Corporation sold the security at this time.

Our analysis of the trust preferred security is governed by accounting standards that are described in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. On December 31, 2009, Moody’s rated this security as Ca, which is defined as highly speculative. The issuers in this security are primarily banks, bank holding companies and a limited number of insurance companies. The Corporation uses the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to evaluate if there has been an adverse change in cash flows during the period. The OTTI model considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. We assume no recoveries on defaults and treat all interest payment deferrals as defaults. In addition we use the model to “stress” the CDO, or make assumptions more severe than expected activity, to determine the degree to which assumptions could deteriorate before the CDO could no longer fully

support repayment of the Corporation’s note class. According to the December 31, 2009 analysis, the expected cash flows were below the recorded amortized cost of the trust preferred security. Therefore, management determined it was appropriate to record an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $180 from this security during the second fiscal quarter of 2010. Management has reviewed this security and these conclusions with an independent third party. If there is further deterioration in the underlying collateral of this security, other-than-temporary impairments may also occur in future periods.

Loan receivables increased by $6,642 to $166,783 at December 31, 2009 compared to $160,141 at June 30, 2009. Total shareholders’ equity increased by $1,121 from June 30, 2009, to $22,582 as of December 31, 2009. 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.

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, 2009 was $790, net cash outflows from investing activities was $8,216 and net cash inflows from financing activities was $864. A major source of cash was $13,993 from sales, maturities, calls or principal pay downs on available-for-sale securities and a $4,870 increase in deposits. Major uses of cash included a $15,835 purchase of securities and a $6,945 increase in loans. Total cash and cash equivalents was $12,329 as of December 31, 2009 compared to $18,891 at June 30, 2009 and $8,690 at December 31, 2008.

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 currently available in the market area. Total deposits increased by $4,870, or 4.7% on an annualized basis, during the first six months of fiscal year 2010. Also, during the same period, the overall cost for funds decreased by 69 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, 2009, FHLB advances totaled $9,289 as compared with $9,373 at June 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $13,137 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 decreased to $11,502 at December 31, 2009 from $15,055 from June 30, 2009.

Jumbo time deposits (those with balances of $100 thousand and over) increased from $31,007 at June 30, 2009 to $33,189 at December 31, 2009. 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, 2009. Management is not aware of any matters occurring subsequent to December 31, 2009 that would cause the Bank’s capital category to change.

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 2009 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, 2009.

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.
