On a year-to-date basis, CenterPointe earned $140,000 or $0.13 per diluted share for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2010.

    no other real estate owned.
--  Total Deposits $66.4 million -- up 21.2% year-to-date.
--  Net Interest Margin (annualized) 5.08% -- a key indicator of our
    profitability, improved 12 basis points over the previous quarter and
    compares favorably to our peers.
--  Bank remains "Well Capitalized" -- as measured by regulatory
    guidelines.

In announcing the Bank's second consecutive quarterly profit, Mahlon Vigesaa, CenterPointe's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "The Bank is operating at a sustainable level of profitability with adequate capital and internal capacity to grow in response to the needs of the Bank's core market area -- principally Hood River, Wasco and Klickitat Counties located within the Columbia River Gorge region."

According to Britt Thomas, the Bank's Chief Credit Officer, "Despite a common assertion that banks are not lending, CenterPointe Bank is in fact a very active commercial lender to local business and agriculture enterprises as well as for owner occupied commercial real estate. CenterPointe is well positioned for responding to our customers' needs and also has access to certain government loan programs such as the SBA 504 or Farm Service Agency Guarantee."

Chief Financial Officer, Jim Fortner, indicated, "The Bank's net interest margin has improved steadily over the past year. This trend has been a key contributor to our profitability and we expect to maintain our net interest margin above 5.0% for the foreseeable future. CenterPointe is a stable, profitable community bank with a clean balance sheet. This means that CenterPointe is a safe bank for depositors to hold their cash. CenterPointe offers competitive rates and strives to provide a level of service that exceeds the expectations of our clients."
