NOTE 4 EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR BENEFITS

Stock Options

At June 30, 2008, the Company has stock-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was approximately $159,000 and $320,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and $137,000 and $257,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Included in stock-based compensation for 2008 and 2007 is expense recognized related to option and warrants granted in 2005, the fair value of which were determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model.

Under the Company’s 2005 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), there are 1,025,000 shares authorized for issuance. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The maximum term of the options granted under the plan is ten years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has granted non-plan options to certain key relationships to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 55,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at between $15.00 and $20.00 per share for 10 years. These options are non-qualified and not part of the 2005 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.

Expected volatilities are based on an index of Alabama traded community banks. The expected term for options granted is based on the short-cut method and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U. S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

		June 30,
		2008				2007
Expected volatility			20.00	%			20.00	%
Expected dividends			.50	%			.50	%
Expected term in years		7 years				7 years
Risk-free rate			2.93	%			4.56	%

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2008:

										Weighted

There were no stock options issued during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Stock Warrants

In recognition of the efforts and financial risks undertaken by the Bank’s organizers in 2005, the Bank granted warrants to organizers to purchase a total 60,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10, which was the fair market value of the Bank’s common stock at the date of the grant. The warrants vest in equal annual increments over a three-year period commencing on the first anniversary date of the Bank’s incorporation and will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the incorporation date. The total number of warrants outstanding at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 60,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fair value of each stock warrants granted in 2005 was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model using the assumptions noted in the following table.

		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2005
Expected volatility			20.00	%
Expected dividends			0.00	%
Expected term (in years)		3 years
Risk-free rate			3.69	%

There were no stock warrants granted, exercised, or forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2008. A total of 20,000 stock warrants became exercisable during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

NOTE 5 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING INTERPRETATIONS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Under SFAS No. 159, entities that elect the fair value option (by instrument) will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option election is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the entity’s election on its earnings, but does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other financial accounting standards. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the balance sheet. The Company chose not to elect the fair value option for its financial assets and financial liabilities existing at January 1, 2008 and did not elect the fair value option on financial assets and financial liabilities transacted in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This pronouncement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. On November 14, 2007, FASB issued SFAS 157-2, Effective Date FASB Statement No. 157. FASB No. 157-2 delays the effective date of Statement No. 157 for other non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for financial assets and financial liabilities and any other assets or liabilities carried at fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 6 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (FAS 162). Under FAS 162, the GAAP hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB. FAS162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. FAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411 “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” FAS 162 will not impact our financial statements.

In March, 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB No. 133. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedging items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt this Statement at the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of FAS 161 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the methods of fair value as described in SFAS No. 157, Fair value Measurements, to value its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value. As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, SFAS No.157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

			Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
			Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
			Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2008:

Approximately $491,000 of losses related to loans were recognized as specific allocations to the allowance for loan losses in the six months ended June 30, 2008, including $433,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2008.

We caution that such factors are not exclusive. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, us.

Business

We are a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Through our wholly-owned bank subsidiary, we operate seven full service banking offices located in Jefferson, Shelby, Madison and Montgomery counties in the metropolitan statistical areas (hereinafter, and more commonly, referred to as MSAs) of Birmingham-Hoover, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama.

We were originally incorporated as a Delaware corporation in August 2007 for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of ServisFirst Bank, an Alabama banking corporation (separately referred to herein as the “Bank”), that was formed on April 28, 2005 and commenced operations on May 2, 2005. On November 29, 2007, we became the sole shareholder of the Bank by virtue of a plan of reorganization and agreement of merger pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of the reorganization was merged with and into the Bank with the Bank surviving and each shareholder of the Bank exchanging their shares of the Bank’s common stock for an equal number of shares of our common stock.

We were organized to facilitate the Bank’s ability to serve its customers’ requirements for financial services. The holding company structure provides flexibility for expansion of our banking business through the possible acquisition of other financial institutions, the provision

of additional banking-related services which the traditional commercial bank may not provide under present laws and additional financing alternatives such as the issuance of trust preferred securities. We have no present plans to acquire any operating subsidiaries in addition to the Bank, but we may make acquisitions in the future if we deem them to be in the best interest of our stockholders. Any such acquisitions would be subject to applicable regulatory approvals and requirements. However, we do plan to issue trust preferred securities for the purpose of increasing our capital base if and when we deem market conditions to be acceptable.

We are headquartered at 3300 Cahaba Road, Suite 300, Birmingham, Alabama 35223 (Jefferson County). In addition to the Jefferson County headquarters, the Bank currently operates through two offices in the Birmingham-Hoover, Alabama MSA (one office in Jefferson County and one office in North Shelby County), two offices in the Huntsville, Alabama MSA (Madison County) and two offices in the Montgomery, Alabama MSA (Montgomery County) which constitute our primary service areas. We also serve certain adjacent areas to our primary service areas. Our principal business is to accept deposits from the public and to make loans and other investments. Our principal source of funds for loans and investments are demand, time, savings, and other deposits (including negotiable orders of withdrawal, or NOW accounts) and the amortization and prepayment of loans and borrowings. Our principal sources of income are interest and fees collected on loans, interest and dividends collected on other investments and service charges. Our principal expenses are interest paid on savings and other deposits (including NOW accounts), interest paid on our other borrowings, employee compensation, office expenses and other overhead expenses.

Overview

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had total consolidated assets of $973,110,000 an increase of $134,860,000 or 16.09% over the $838,250,000 reported at December 31, 2007. Total loans were $836,520,000 at June 30, 2008, a $161,239,000 or 23.88% increase over the $675,281,000 at December 31, 2007. Total deposits were $847,425,000 at June 30, 2008, an increase of $84,742,000 or 11.11% over the $762,683,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in loans and deposits was from organic growth in existing branches in Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama, and our expansion into the Montgomery, Alabama market beginning in 2007.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was $1,750,000 an increase of $453,000 or 34.93% compared to the $1,297,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Basic earnings per common share were $0.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with $0.29 for the same period in 2007.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and financial policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed real estate and fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by agencies of the federal government, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies has occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

All securities held are traded in liquid markets. As of June 30, 2008, we owned certain restricted securities from the Federal Home Loan Bank with an aggregate book value and market value of $2,408,000 and First National Bankers Bank in which we invested $250,000. We had no investments in any one security, restricted or liquid, in excess of 10% of our stockholders’ equity.

The bank’s investment portfolio consists of mortgage-backed pass-thru securities, tax exempt securities and corporate bonds. The bank does not invest in collateral debt obligations (CDO’s). All tax exempt securities are issued by municipalities within the State of Alabama. All corporate bonds have a Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s rating of A-1 or better when purchased. The June 30, 2008 total investment portfolio has a combined average credit rating of AA+.

At June 30, 2008, we had $72,000 in federal funds sold, compared with $16,598,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in 2008 is due to the strong loan demand in the first half of 2008.

Loans

We had total loans of $836,520,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $675,281,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $161,239,000 or 23.88%. At June 30, 2008, 63.90% of our loans were in our Birmingham offices, 25.89% in our Huntsville offices, and 10.21% in our Montgomery offices. The following table details our loans at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses from identified and otherwise inherent risks in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses management considers its evaluation of the loan portfolio, past due loan experience, collateral values, current economic conditions and other factors considered necessary to maintain the allowance at an adequate level. Management feels that the allowance is adequate at June 30, 2008.

The company has allocated 46.92% of the total loan loss reserve to real estate construction loans at June 30, 2008. Management is very aggressive with its portfolio monitoring to identify and deteriorating loans, act quickly to attempt workout, or, if need be, foreclose and write down the assets. Disposing of these assets quickly while limiting losses is our top priority to minimize the impact on capital.

The following table presents a summary of changes in the allowances for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The largest balance of our charge-offs are on real estate construction loans. Real estate construction loans represent 26.70% of our loan portfolio. Real estate construction charge offs were $1,469,000 in the second quarter of 2008.

Non-performing Assets

It is our policy to classify loans as non-accrual when they are past due in principal or interest payments for more than ninety days or if it is otherwise not reasonable to expect collection of principal and interest due under the original terms. Exceptions are allowed for ninety day past due loans when such loans are secured by real estate or negotiable collateral and in the process of collection. Generally, payments received on non-accrual loans are applied directly to principal.

We have adopted the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) SFAS No. 114 and No. 118 relating to accounting for impaired loans and as of June 30, 2008, our impaired loans, inclusive of non-accrual loans, totaled $10,125,000, and had associated reserves of approximately $1,861,000. This compares to impaired loans and associated reserves of $11,612,000 and $1,370,000, respectively at December 31, 2007. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events; the company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependant. The amount of impairment, if any, and subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. Interest on accruing impaired loans is recognized as long as such loans do not meet the criteria for nonaccrual status.

Non-performing assets, comprised of non-accrual loans, loans ninety days or more past due and still accruing, and other real estate owned totaled $13,195,000 at June 30, 2008, compared

to $6,094,000 at December 31, 2007. Non-accrual loans were $3,218,000 at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1,066,000 from non-accrual loans of $4,284,000 at December 31, 2007. Loans ninety days past due and still accruing totaled $1,775,000 at June 30, 2008, compared to $187,000 at December 31, 2007. Other real estate owned totaled $8,202,000 as of June 30, 2008, compared to $1,623,000 at December 31, 2007.

A summary of nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 follows:

		June 30,				December 31,				June 30,
		2008				2007				2007
		(Dollars in Thousands)
Non-accrual loans		$	3,218				4,284				2,484
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing			1,775				187				6
All other real estate owned			8,202				1,623				371
Total non-performing assets		$	13,195				6,094				2,861

The decrease to our non-accrual loans during the first half of 2008 is the net result of transfers to OREO.

Our OREO procedures currently determine disposition value, the value used to place the property into OREO, based on the most recent fair value appraisal of the property that we have at the time, less estimated costs to sell the property. Any difference between the disposition value and the loan balance is for charged off. Once the property is in OREO sales efforts begin.

Based on the change in economic conditions, in particular the slow down in the residential construction industry, non performing assets could increase due to the inability of customers to service their debt.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $84,742,000 or 11.11% to $847,425,000 at June 30, 2008 compared to $762,683,000 reported at December 31, 2007. The company experienced good deposit growth in the first half of 2008 as a result of our expansion into the Montgomery market in 2007 and expanded customer relationships in the Birmingham and Huntsville markets. We anticipate that deposit growth will closely match future loan demand in the second half of 2008. Management is reviewing the rate structure of their current deposit products and is making the necessary adjustments to further increase deposit growth, such as increasing certificate of deposit rates and expanding current deposit relationships through the efforts of our officers.

For amounts and rates of our deposits by category, see the table “Average Consolidated Balance Sheets and Net Interest Analysis on a Fully Tax Equivalent Basis” under the sub heading “Net Interest Income”

Other Borrowings

As of June 30, 2008, we had borrowed $320,000 under a $500,000 line of credit with a regional bank. The note is unsecured. The note is due in October 2008 and the interest rate varies at the lender’s base commercial lending rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2008 was 5.00%.

On March 19, 2008 we borrowed $20,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, of which $10,000,000 bears interest at 2.995%, and is payable on March 19, 2012, and $10,000,000 bears interest at 3.275%, and is payable on March 19, 2013.

Federal funds purchased were $26,302,000 at June 30, 2008. Management believes that fed funds purchased will decrease in the second half of 2008 based on deposit growth resulting from increases in deposit rates along with the funds generated by a potential trust preferred offering.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, or other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis.

The retention of existing deposits and attraction of new deposit sources through new and existing customers is critical to our liquidity position. In the event of compression in liquidity due to a run-off in deposits, we have a liquidity policy and procedure that provides for certain actions under varying liquidity conditions. These actions include borrowing from existing correspondent banks, selling or participating loans, and the curtailment of loan commitments and funding. At June 30, 2008, our liquid assets, represented by cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and available-for-sale securities, totaled $118,894,000. Additionally, our subsidiary bank had additional borrowing availability of approximately $52 million in unused federal funds lines of credit with regional banks, subject to certain restrictions and collateral requirements, and had additional borrowing availability of $105 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to meet short term funding needs. We believe these sources of funding are adequate to meet immediate anticipated funding needs. Our management meets on a quarterly basis to review sources and uses of funding to determine the appropriate strategy to ensure an appropriate level of liquidity. At the current time, our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to funds required to support loan originations and commitments and deposit withdrawals.

To finance our continued growth and planned expansion activities, before our reorganization into a holding company structure, the Bank issued 649,875 shares of common stock in September of 2007 for approximately $13 million in capital before offering expenses. Our regular sources of funding are from the growth of our deposit base, repayment of principal and interest on loans, the sale of loans and the renewal of time deposits. We are also exploring the possibility of issuing trust preferred securities if market conditions become favorable to us.

We are subject to general FDIC guidelines which require a minimum level of liquidity. Management believes our liquidity ratios meet or exceed these guidelines. Our management is not currently aware of any trends or demands that are reasonably likely to result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material manner.

The following table reflects the contractual maturities of our term liabilities as of June 30, 2008. The amounts shown do not reflect any early withdrawal or prepayment assumptions.

Capital Adequacy

     As of June 30, 2008, our most recent notification from the FDIC categorized us as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well-capitalized, we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. Our management believes that we are well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions as of June 30, 2008. Furthermore, the Alabama Banking Department has required that we maintain a leverage ratio of 8% for the first three years of our operations until May 2, 2008 and 7% thereafter.

     The following table sets forth (i) the capital ratios required by the FDIC and the Alabama Banking Department’s leverage ratio requirement to be maintained by us for the first three years of our operations and (ii) our actual ratios of capital to total regulatory or risk-weighted assets, as of June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

In the normal course of business we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings, credit card arrangements, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees,

elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in those particular financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings, credit card arrangements, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at June 30, 2008:

		(In Thousands)
Commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings		$	285,394
Credit card arrangements			8,270
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees			26,026
Total		$	319,690

     Commitments to extend credit beyond current fundings are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Such commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit is based on our management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. All letters of credit are due within one year or less of the original commitment date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Derivatives

Prior to 2008 we entered into an interest rate floor with a notional amount of $50 million in order to fix the minimum interest rate on a corresponding amount of our floating-rate loans. In our management’s opinion, market conditions were appropriate and the interest rate floor was sold in January 2008 and the related gain of $817,000 has been deferred and will be amortized to income over the remaining term of the original agreement which would have terminated on June 22, 2009. A gain of $136,000 and $272,000 was recognized in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1,750,000, compared to net income of $1,297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $3,320,000, compared to net income of $2,804,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increases in net income are primarily attributable to a significant increase in net interest income due to significant growth of our deposits and loan portfolio resulting

from significant continued core growth in Birmingham and Huntsville and our expansion into Montgomery in 2007. These positive effects were partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses, to $2,137,000 from $816,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 2007 respectively, and to $3,519,000 from $1,460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and increases in non-interest expense, to $4,530,000 from $3,403,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and to $9,360,000 from $6,307,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. The increase in provision for loan losses was the result of funding the loan loss reserve to match the growth in the loan portfolio and loan charge-offs. The increase in non-interest expense was due to an increase in personnel and general operating expenses due to our growth. Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.34 and $0.33, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.29 per common share for both basic and diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.65 and $0.63, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.63 and $0.62 per common share for basic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 0.74%, compared to 0.80% in 2007, and return on average stockholders’ equity was 9.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 9.51% in 2007.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities used to support such assets. The major factors which affect net interest income are changes in volumes, the yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Our management’s ability to respond to changes in interest rates by effective asset-liability management techniques is critical to maintaining the stability of the net interest margin and the momentum of our primary source of earnings.

Beginning in mid-2004, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee, or FOMC, increased interest rates 400 basis points through mid-2006 where interest rates remained constant until September 2007 when the FOMC began lowering interest rates in reaction to the affects of the sub-prime credit crisis. Since September 2007, the FOMC has lowered interest rates 275 basis points including an emergency 75 basis point decrease in January 2008, 75 basis points at its March 18, 2008 meeting, and 25 basis points at its April 30, 2008 meeting. In anticipation of these decreases in interest rates, our management has placed us in a moderately liability sensitive position. This means that more liabilities are scheduled to reprice within the next year than assets, thereby taking advantage of the anticipated decrease in interest rates.

Net interest income increased $2,697,000, or 44.97%, to $8,694,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $5,997,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This was due to an increase in total interest income of $1,211,000, or 9.98%, plus a decrease in total interest expense of $1,486,000 or 24.23%. Net interest income increased $5,185,000, or 44.71%, to $16,781,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $11,596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This was due to an increase in total interest income of $4,221,000, or 18.39%, plus a decrease in total interest expense of $964,000, or 8.49%. The increase in total interest income was primarily attributable to loan growth as a consequence of significant continued core growth in Birmingham and Huntsville and our expansion into Montgomery in 2007.
