Note 1.

Nature of Operations

Southern Connecticut Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut that was incorporated on November 8, 2000. The Company’s strategic objective is to serve as a bank holding company for a community-based commercial bank serving primarily New Haven County (the “Southern Connecticut Market”). The Company owns 100% of the capital stock of The Bank of Southern Connecticut (the “Bank”), a Connecticut-chartered bank with its headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut.

The Bank operates branches at four locations, including downtown New Haven, the Amity/Westville section of New Haven, Branford and North Haven. The Bank’s branches have a consistent, attractive appearance. Each location has an open lobby, comfortable waiting area, offices for the branch manager and a loan officer, and a conference room. The design of the branches complements the business development strategy of the Bank, affording an appropriate space to deliver personalized banking services in professional, confidential surroundings.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank sold its branch location in New London, Connecticut. In connection with the transaction, the Bank transferred $7.2 million in loans, $9.3 million in deposits, and fixed assets of $645,000 to the purchaser. The Company received a premium in connection with the sale of $824,000.

The Bank focuses on serving the banking needs of small to medium-sized businesses, professionals and professional corporations, and their owners and employees in the Southern Connecticut market. The Bank’s target commercial customer has between $1.0 and $30.0 million in revenues, 15 to 150 employees, and borrowing needs of up to $3.0 million. The primary focus on this commercial market makes the Bank uniquely qualified to move deftly in responding to the needs of its clients. The Bank has been successful in winning business by offering a combination of competitive pricing for its services, quick decision making processes and a high level of personalized, “high touch” customer service.

Note 2.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts in prior period financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to current period presentations. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year as a whole. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto as of December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-KSB on March 27, 2008.

Note 3. Available for Sale Securities

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and approximate fair values of available for sale securities at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are as follows:

			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair
June 30, 2008	Cost		Gains		Losses			Value
U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Obligations	$	4,995,714	$	31,093	$	(50,032	)	$	4,976,775
U.S. Treasury Bills & Notes		1,499,833		17		-			1,499,850
Mortgage Backed Securities		105,409		-		(5,996	)		99,413
	$	6,600,956	$	31,110	$	(56,028	)	$	6,576,038


			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair
December 31, 2007	Cost		Gains		Losses			Value
U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Obligations	$	5,199,956	$	-	$	(35,054	)	$	5,164,902
Mortgage Backed Securities		105,417		-		(4,640	)		100,777
	$	5,305,373	$	-	$	(39,694	)	$	5,265,679

As of June 30, 2008, gross unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio totaled $56,028. Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on available for sale securities are other than temporary because all of the unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio are due to market interest rate changes related to obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored agencies, which the Company has the ability to hold until maturity or until the fair value fully recovers. In addition, management considers the issuers of the securities to be financially sound and further believes that the Company will receive all contractual principal and interest related to these investments. Management regularly reviews the investment portfolio with respect to the appropriateness of the investments. This includes the consideration of profitability, quality of the investment, interest rate risk and liquidity, as well as other considerations. While management feels the current portfolio is appropriate, in the future, as the Company’s needs change, the Company may make changes to its investment portfolio.

At June 30 2008, gross unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities totaled $56,028. All such unrealized losses had existed for a period of less than twelve months.

At December 31, 2007, gross unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities totaled $39,694. All such unrealized losses had existed for a period of twelve months or longer.

Note 6. Available Borrowings

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”). At June 30, 2008, the Bank had the ability to borrow from the FHLB based on a certain percentage of the value of the Bank’s qualified collateral, as defined in the FHLB Statement of Products Policy, at the time of the borrowing. In accordance with an agreement with the FHLB, the qualified collateral must be free and clear of liens, pledges and encumbrances. There were no borrowings outstanding with the FHLB at June 30, 2008.

The Bank is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to a percentage of its outstanding mortgage loans and contracts secured by residential properties, including mortgage-backed securities. No ready market exists for FHLB stock and it has no quoted market value. For disclosure purposes, such stock is assumed to have a market value which is equal to cost since the Bank can redeem the stock with FHLB at cost.

Note 7. Employment agreement

The Company entered into an employment agreement with its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective May 5, 2008. Under the agreement, he will serve as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company through May 4, 2010, unless the Company terminates the agreement earlier under the terms of the agreement. The Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will receive a base salary that increases over the term of the agreement and is eligible for salary increases and other merit bonuses at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

The Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer received 3,000 shares of restricted stock that vest one third on May 5, 2009, one third May 5, 2010 and one third on May 5, 2011. The Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is provided with health and life insurance, is reimbursed for certain business expenses, and is eligible to participate in the profit sharing or 401(k) plan of the Company (or its subsidiary).

If the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer employment is terminated as a result of a business combination (as defined), the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will, subject to certain conditions, be entitled to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times the total of The Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer’s then current base annual salary plus the amount of any bonus for the prior calendar year in the event that the employee is not offered a position with the remaining entity at his then current base annual salary. The Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is also entitled to a continuation of benefits under the terms of his agreement for the balance of the unexpired term of his employment, which will be paid at his option as a lump sum payment or ratably over the balance of the unexpired term.

Note 8. Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company is required to present basic income (loss) per share and diluted income (loss) per share in its statements of operations. Basic per share amounts are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted per share amounts assume exercise of all potential common stock equivalents in weighted average shares outstanding, unless the effect is antidilutive. The Company is also required to provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share. The following is information about the computation of income (loss) per share for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Note 10. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments and evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The Company controls the credit risk of these financial instruments through credit approvals, credit limits, monitoring procedures and the receipt of collateral as deemed necessary.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007


	June 30,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Commitments to extend credit
Future loan commitments	$	10,665,000	$	4,348,250
Unused lines of credit		25,454,660		27,961,313
Undisbursed construction loans		687,000		663,931
Financial standby letters of credit		3,520,308		4,225,778
	$	40,326,968	$	37,199,272

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the borrower. Since these commitments could expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include residential and commercial property, deposits and securities.

Standby letters of credit are written commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The liability related to guarantees recorded at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was not significant.

Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (Statement 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 also establishes fair value hierarachy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies the assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2 which defers the effective date of Statement 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. All other provisions of Statement 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 157 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 except for those nonfinancial assets and liabilities subject to deferral as a result of Staff Position 157-2. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a result of the adoption of Statement 157.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 155 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company in the 2008 first quarter. The Company did not elect to report any additional assets or liabilities at fair value other than those that were already being reported at fair value.

Note 12. Fair Value

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Under SFAS 157, the Company groups assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

	Level 1		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	Level 2		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

	Level 3		Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of collateral.

Other Assets Held for Sale

Other assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the assets from other assets in use to other assets held for sale. Subsequently, these assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current

appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring

basis as of June 30, 2008 were as follows:

Significant

Observable

Total

(Level 2)

The Company will apply the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2009 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis. The Company measures the fair value of the following on a nonrecurring basis: (1) long-lived assets, (2) foreclosed assets and (3) indefinite lived assets.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

The Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, SCB Capital, Inc., acquired the net assets of Evergreen Financial LLC for $180,000 on August 1, 2008. SCB Capital, Inc. will now be offering mortgage brokerage services effective August 1, 2008.

Donald W. Spini will serve as President of SCB Capital, Inc. and will oversee its mortgage brokerage business which will operate under the name “Evergreen Financial.” SCB Capital, Inc. operates from the Company’s headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut and is licensed by the State of Connecticut Department of Banking to operate a mortgage brokerage business.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

And Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, along with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2008.

Summary

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $111.7 million of total assets, $81.6 million of gross loans receivable, and $89.5 million of total deposits. Total equity capital at June 30, 2008 was $19.9 million, and the Company’s Tier I Leverage Capital Ratio was 17.89%. The decrease in premises and equipment, loans and deposits is primarily attributable to the sale of the Bank’s branch in New London, Connecticut. This transaction was completed on February 29, 2008. In addition, the Bank experienced seasonal fluctuations in deposits from small businesses in the first and second quarters.

Net interest margin for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 was 4.43% and 4.54%, as compared to 4.82% and 4.86% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) reduced short term interest rates by 2.25%, from 7.25% to 5.00%. The Company maintains a large investment in short term investments, including Federal Funds sold and money market investments. The return on these investments decreased significantly during the six months ended June 30, 2008, further reducing the Company’s Interest Rate Spread and Net Interest Margin.

The Company had net income of $73,281 (or basic and diluted income per share of $0.03 and $0.02, respectively) for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net loss of $23,016 (or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.01) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company had net income of $409,671 (or basic and diluted income per share of $0.14) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $8,906 (or basic and diluted income per share of $0.00) for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The (credit to) provision for loan losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $(113,503) and $(103,743), respectively, as compared to $27,451 and $127,244 for the same periods in 2007. The Company’s operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 were significantly impacted by the recognition of the gain on sale of the Bank’s branch office located in New London, Connecticut, and by expenses related to the severance payment made to the former CEO and President of the Company and the Bank.

On July 18, 2008, the Company announced an initiative aimed at reducing the expense structure of the Company through realignment of responsibilities, the elimination of several positions, and the consolidation of its operating division, The Bank of North Haven, into The Bank of Southern Connecticut.

In November of 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of a Stock Repurchase Program of up to 147,186 shares of its common stock representing 5% of its outstanding common stock. The Company completed its stock repurchase plan by the middle of July 2008.

On Tuesday, July 15, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of an additional stock repurchase program of up to 141,126 shares representing 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares will be repurchased on the open market from time to time as, in the opinion of management, market conditions warrant and subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Critical Accounting Policy

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to reporting results of operations and financial condition in preparing its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes the following discussion addresses the Company’s only critical accounting policy, which is the policy that is most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company has reviewed this critical accounting policy and estimate with its audit committee. Refer to the discussion below under “Allowance for Loan Losses” and Note 1 to the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2008.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of general and specific components. The general component of the allowance for loan losses is accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The specific component relates to loans that are considered impaired pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15.

Based upon this evaluation, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $1,144,490 or 1.40% of gross loans receivable and 0.53 times nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 is adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb losses on existing loans. At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $1,256,965 or 1.44% of gross loans receivable and 1.00 times non-performing loans.

The Bank’s (credit to) provision for loan losses was $(113,503) and $(103,743) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to a provision to loan losses of $27,451 and $127,244 for the same periods in 2007. The change is primarily attributable to a decrease in loans receivable resulting largely from the sale of the Bank’s New London branch, and the favorable reclassification of an impaired loan during 2008.

The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued whenever reasonable doubt exists as to collectibility and generally is discontinued when loans are past due 90 days as to either principal or interest, or

are otherwise considered impaired. When the accrual of interest income is discontinued, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. The accrual of interest on loans past due 90 days or more may be continued if the loan is well secured, it is believed all principal and accrued interest income due on the loan will be realized, and the loan is in the process of collection. A non-accrual loan is restored to an accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and collectibility of interest and principal is no longer in doubt.

Management considers all non-accrual loans, other loans past due 90 days or more based on contractual terms, and restructured loans to be impaired. Loans for which payments are past due, but not more than 90 days past due, are not considered to be impaired unless management determines that full collection of principal and interest is doubtful.

Recent Accounting Changes

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity operates. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 157 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 except for those nonfinancial assets and liabilities subject to deferral as a result of Staff Position 157-2. The impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as a result of the adoption of this Statement was not material.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2008 versus December 31, 2007

General

The Company’s total assets were $111.7 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $18.9 million (14.5%) from $130.6 million in assets as of December 31, 2007. Net loans receivable decreased to $80.4 million from $86.0 million, and total deposits decreased to $89.5 million from $107.4 million during the same period.

Investments

Available for sale securities totaled $6.6 million as of June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.3 million from a balance of $5.3 million as of December 31, 2007. The available for sale securities portfolio is invested in U.S. government sponsored agency obligations, sponsored agency issued mortgage backed securities, and obligations of the United States Treasury. The increase in balance resulted from the Company purchasing short term treasury notes, that matured on July 2, 2008, to meet pledge obligations until longer term investments settled.

Loans

Net loans receivable decreased $5.6 million (6.5%) from $86.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $80.4 million at June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Bank sold $7.2 million of loans in connection with the sale of its New London branch. Also during the first quarter of 2008, the Bank realigned management of its lending department and appointed a new Chief Lending Officer. In addition, further changes were made to improve the Bank’s credit underwriting process and credit review process. These changes are expected to improve the Bank’s loan production capability. The Bank currently has a large number of loans pending closing; if these loans are closed, the ratio of loans receivable to deposits is expected to increase.

Ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans		0.53			1.00

Potential Problem Loans

At June 30, 2008, the Bank had a loan totaling $1.1 million, which was not disclosed in the table above, and was not on non-accrual status, but was deemed to be impaired pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114. This loan is current with respect to principal and interest. Management of the Company has reviewed the collateral for this loan and considers the current reserves on this loan to be adequate to cover potential losses, if any, related to this relationship.

Deposits

Deposits were $89.5 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $17.9 million (16.7%) from $107.4 million at December 31, 2007. Non-interest bearing deposits were $24.2 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $3.6 million (12.9%) from $27.8 million at December 31, 2007. The balance of non-interest bearing checking accounts can fluctuate as much as 5% to 10% on a daily basis. Total interest bearing checking, money market and savings decreased $11.1 million, or 22.9%, to $37.1 million at June 30, 2008, from $48.2 million at December 31, 2007. Certificates of deposit decreased to $28.1 million at June 30, 2008 from $31.5 million at December 31, 2007, a 10.6% decrease. The decrease in deposits is attributable to the sale of the New London branch and seasonal fluctuations in deposit levels of small business customers.

Currently the Bank does not have any brokered deposits. The Bank does maintain relationships with several deposit brokers and could utilize the services of one or more of such brokers if management determines that issuing brokered certificates of deposits would be in the best interest of the Bank and the Company.

Other

Repurchase agreement balances totaled $79,528 at June 30, 2008 as compared to $544,341 at December 31, 2007. The decrease is due to normal customer activity.

Results of Operations – Comparison of Results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

General

The Company had net income of $73,281 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net loss of $23,016 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company had net income of $409,671 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $8,906 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net income is largely attributable to the gain on sale recognized by the Company in connection with the sale of the Bank’s New London branch, and which was offset by expenses related to severance payments made to the former CEO and President of the Company and the Bank.

Net Interest Income

The principal source of revenue for the Company and the Bank is net interest income. The Company’s net interest income is dependent primarily upon the difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans receivable and investment securities and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings, as well as the relative average balances of such assets and liabilities. The Company, like other banking institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than its interest-earning assets.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income was $1,140,059 versus $1,396,653 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $256,594 or 18.4%. The decrease is attributable to a decreased net interest spread and net interest margin and the sale of our New London branch. As a result of the sale of the New London branch, the Company’s average total interest earning assets decreased 10.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $103.6 million (a decrease of $12.5 million) from the Company’s average total interest earning assets of $116.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income was $2,442,908 versus $2,721,781 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $278,873 or 10.2%. The decrease is attributable to a decreased net interest spread and net interest margin and the sale of our New London branch. The FOMC reduced short-term interest rates (which resulted in a corresponding reduction in the prime lending rate) from 7.25% at December 31, 2007 to 5.00% at June 30, 2008. Decreases in short-term rates tend to compress the Company’s net interest spread and net interest margin. During periods of declining interest rates, the interest expense related to sources of funds is not reduced commensurate with reduction in interest earned on interest earning assets (which are most typically tied to the prime lending rate or other market indices). This situation inherently compresses the spread during periods of declining interest rates.

The yield on average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 6.44% versus 7.80% for the same period in 2007, a decrease of 136 basis points. The decrease in the yield on assets reflects the decreases in market interest rates that occurred throughout 2007 and 2008, particularly in the prime lending rate and the Bank’s base lending rate.

The yield on average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 6.79% versus 7.81% for the same period in 2007, a decrease of 102 basis points. The decrease in the yield on assets reflects the decreases in market interest rates that occurred throughout 2007 and 2008, particularly in the prime lending rate and the Bank’s base lending rate.

The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 3.17% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus 4.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 112 basis points which is attributable to the general decreases in market interest rates.

The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 3.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus 4.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of 84 basis points which is attributable to the general decreases in market interest rates.

As a result of the overall market reduction in interest rates, the Company’s net interest margin and net interest spread have decreased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same periods in 2007.

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 39 basis points versus 4.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. At the same time, the Company’s interest spread decreased 24 basis points from 3.51% to 3.27%.

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 32 basis points versus 4.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At the same time, the Company’s interest spread decreased 18 basis points from 3.50% to 3.32%.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s (credit) provision for loan losses was $(113,503) and $(103,743) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $27,451 and $127,244 for the same periods in 2007. The change in provision for loan losses in 2008 is primarily attributable to a decrease in loans receivable resulting largely from the sale of the Bank’s New London branch, and the favorable reclassification of an impaired loan.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $277,006 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus $279,837 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The $2,831 decrease is due to gains of $46,431 on the sale of the New London branch, an increase in other income of $48,650, a decrease in service charges and fees of $52,626 and a $45,286 decrease in gains on sales of SBA loans.

Total noninterest income was $1,260,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $520,679 for the same period in 2007. Noninterest income in 2008 included $824,244 from a gain on sale of the Bank’s New London branch. Service charges and fees decreased $14,891 due to changes in business practices of customers of the Bank. Gains on sales of SBA loans decreased $45,286 during 2008. Other non-interest income decreased from $194,391 in 2007 to $169,761 in 2008 primarily due to decreases in loan prepayment penalties ($8,649) and SBA loan servicing income ($17,672).

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense was $1,457,287 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus $1,672,055 for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $214,768 or 12.8%.

Salaries and benefits expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $850,173 versus $920,097 for the same period in 2007. Occupancy and equipment expense for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by $50,063 or 23.2 %. The decrease in salaries and benefits expense and occupancy and equipment expense is attributable to the elimination of expenses related to the operation of the New London branch. Professional services expense decreased to $137,816 from $173,095 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 versus 2007, the result of lower legal costs and legal expenses associated with new business initiatives. FDIC insurance expense decreased from $61,074 to $13,374 due to a decline in deposit balances and a lower assessment rate due to an improved FDIC rating.

Total noninterest expense was $3,397,096 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $3,106,310 for the same period in 2007, an increase of $290,786 or 9.4%.

Salaries and benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,121,998 versus $1,825,720 for the same period in 2007. Salaries and benefits expense in 2008 includes approximately $300,000 in expenses related to the severance of the former Chief Executive Officer and President and the sale of the New London branch. Occupancy and equipment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $75,585 or 17.5 %. The decrease is primarily attributable to the elimination of expenses related to the operation of the New London branch. FDIC insurance expense decreased by $20,109 from $63,472 to $43,363 due to a decline in deposit balances and a lower assessment rate due to an improved FDIC rating.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for information regarding the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity

Management believes that the Company’s short-term assets offer sufficient liquidity to cover potential fluctuations in deposit accounts and loan demand and to meet other anticipated operating cash requirements.

The Company’s liquidity position as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 consisted of liquid assets totaling $26.5 million and $38.6 million, respectively. This represents 23.7% and 29.6% of total assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The liquidity ratio is defined as the percentage of liquid assets to total assets. The following categories of assets as described in the accompanying balance sheet are considered liquid assets: cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term investments, and securities available for sale. Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to generate adequate cash to meet financial obligations. The principal cash requirements of a financial institution are to cover downward fluctuations in deposits and increases in its loan portfolio.

In addition to the foregoing sources of liquidity, the Bank maintains a relationship with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and has the ability to pledge certain of the Bank’s assets as collateral for borrowings from that institution. In addition, the Bank maintains relationships with several brokers of certificates of deposits and could utilize the services of these brokers if the Bank needed additional liquidity to meet its needs.

Capital

The following table illustrates the Company's regulatory capital ratios at:

	June 30,	December 31,
	2008	2007
Tier 1 (Leverage) Capital to Average Assets	17.89%	17.56%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	20.38%	21.80%
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	21.55%	22.96%


The following table illustrates the Bank's regulatory capital ratios at:

	June 30,	December 31,
	2008	2007
Tier 1 (Leverage) Capital to Average Assets	15.92%	14.82%
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	18.17%	18.52%
Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets	19.38%	19.72%

Capital adequacy is one of the most important factors used to determine the safety and soundness of individual banks and the banking system. Based on the above ratios, the Company is considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable regulations specified by the Federal Reserve. The Bank also is considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable regulations. To be considered “well capitalized” an institution must generally have a leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%.

Market Risk

Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. Based upon the nature of the Company’s business, market risk is primarily limited to interest rate risk, defined as the impact of changing interest rates on current and future earnings.

The Company’s goal is to maximize long-term profitability, while minimizing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The first priority is to structure and price the Company’s assets and liabilities to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread, while reducing the net effect of changes in interest rates. In order to reach an acceptable interest rate spread, the Company must generate loans and seek acceptable investments to replace the lower yielding balances in Federal Funds sold and short-term investments. The focus also must be on maintaining a proper balance between the timing and volume of assets and liabilities re-pricing within the balance sheet. One method of achieving this balance is to originate variable rate loans for the portfolio to offset the short-term re-pricing of the liabilities. In fact, a number of the interest bearing deposit products have no contractual maturity. Customers may withdraw funds from their accounts at any time and deposit balances may therefore run off unexpectedly due to changing market conditions.

The exposure to interest rate risk is monitored by senior management of the Bank and is reported quarterly to the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Company. Management reviews the interrelationships within the balance sheet to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effect of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding this fact, inflation can directly affect the value of loan collateral, in particular, real estate. Inflation, or disinflation, could significantly affect the Company’s earnings in future periods.

“Safe Harbor” Statement Under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Some of the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business” and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q may include forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Statements which include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements or that could adversely affect the holders of our common stock. These factors include, but are not limited to, (1) changes in prevailing interest rates which would affect the interest earned on the Company’s interest earning assets and the interest paid on its interest bearing liabilities, (2) the timing of re-pricing of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, (3) the effect of changes in governmental monetary policy, (4) the effect of changes in regulations applicable to the Company and the conduct of its business, (5) changes in competition among financial service companies, including possible further encroachment of non-banks on services traditionally provided by banks and the impact of recently enacted federal legislation, (6) the ability of competitors which are larger than the Company to provide products and services which are impractical for the Company to provide, (7) the volatility of quarterly earnings, due in part to the variation in the number, dollar volume and profit realized from SBA guaranteed loan participation sales in different quarters, (8) the effect of a loss of any executive officer, key personnel, or directors, (9) the effect of the Company’s opening of branches and the receipt of regulatory approval to complete such actions, (10) concentration of the Company’s business in southern Connecticut, (11) the concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio in commercial loans to small-to-medium sized businesses, which may be impacted more severely than larger businesses during periods of economic weakness, (12) lack of seasoning in the Company’s loan portfolio, which may increase the risk of future credit defaults, and (13) the effect of any decision by the Company to engage in any business not historically permitted to it. Other such factors may be described in other filings made by the Company with the SEC.

Although the Company believes that it offers the loan and deposit products and has the resources needed for success, future revenues and interest spreads and yields cannot be reliably predicted. These trends may cause the Company to adjust its operations in the future. Because of the foregoing and other factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable indicators of future financial results or stock prices.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
