Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

In a review of the Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended June 30, 2006 prior to filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company reclassified a gain on
the early extinguishment of debt to conform with APB 26, Early Extinguishment of
Debt. The reclassification did not affect net income or earnings per share for
the quarter.

The gain of approximately $407,000 was included as a credit to "Interest Expense
on Borrowed Funds" in the Company's second quarter press release dated July 20,
2006. As a result of the reclassification, "Interest on Borrowed Funds" was
increased by $407,000 and other non-interest income was increased by the
$407,000 to conform with APB 26 reporting requirements on the early
extinguishment of debt. The reclassification also resulted in new totals
reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income for "Total Interest Expense",
"Net Interest Income" and "Net Interest Income After Provision for Loan Losses".

This reclassification also changed certain metrics shown on the Analysis of Net
Interest Earnings that accompanied the press release. The cost of borrowed funds
increased to 5.11%, the total cost of funds increased to 3.48% and the net
margin declined 8 basis points to 3.61%.

A copy of the Company's second quarter press release that was dated on July 20,
2006 has been updated to reflect the reclassification of the $407,000 in the
text of the release and in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Analysis of
Net Interest Earnings that accompanied the release. The updated press release is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
