Discussion of Results:

Balance Sheet

    --  Total assets were $3.18 billion at December 31, 2011, as compared to

        December 31, 2010. Compared to the linked quarter, loans
        held-for-investment decreased by $15.3 million as the Company recorded
        net charge-offs of $20.4 million in the fourth quarter.

        the linked quarter from 4.33% to 4.23%. The net interest margin declined
        seven basis points to 3.54% from 3.61% for the linked quarter. The

        million and $993 thousand million below the comparable prior year
        quarter income of $7.8 million. The increase over the linked quarter was

        thousand.

        at December 31, 2010. Net charge-offs recorded in the current quarter
        were $20.4 million, or 0.87% of average loans, as compared to $5.8
        million, or 0.25% of average loans for the linked quarter and $28.4
