Non- GAAP Financial Measures Note: Dollars in thousands; Unaudited data at December 31, 2009 Tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible stockholders’ equity and tangible common equity by excluding the balance of goodwill, intangible assets and, for purposes of calculating tangible common equity, preferred equity, from our calculation of shareholders’ equity. We calculate tangible assets by excluding the balance of goodwill and intangible assets from our total assets. Management believes that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding the basis of our risk-based capital ratios. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of tangible equity, tangible common equity and tangible assets may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as determined and reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP ratios of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to tangible assets is set forth below: For Year Ended December 31, 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 Common stockholders' equity $26,987 $46,015 $64,570 $78,629 $72,375 Less: Intangible assets 0 0 0 0 0 Tangible common equity $26,987 $46,015 $64,570 $78,629 $72,375 Book value per share $4.18 $7.13 $10.01 $12.19 $11.22 Less: Intangible assets per share 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Tangible book value per share $4.18 $7.13 $10.01 $12.19 $11.22 Total assets $1,384,552 $1,307,497 $1,246,822 $1,263,290 $1,362,478 Less: Intangible assets 0 0 0 0 0 Tangible assets $1,384,552 $1,307,497 $1,246,822 $1,263,290 $1,362,478 Tangible common equity / tangible assets 1.95% 3.52% 5.18% 6.22% 5.31%
