PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Woods Investment Company, Inc., Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc., and Jersey Shore State Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for such periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are the same as those followed on an annual basis.  These policies are presented on pages 37 through 43 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

In reference to the attached financial statements, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature pursuant to Rule 10-01(b) (8) of Regulation S-X.

 

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210):  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The amendments in this update affect all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  The requirements amend the disclosure requirements on offsetting in Section 210-20-50.  This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this update.  An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 3. Per Share Data

 

There are no convertible securities which would affect the denominator in calculating basic and dilutive earnings per share.  Net income as presented on the consolidated statement of income will be used as the numerator.  The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and dilutive earnings per share computation.

At September 30, 2012 there were a total of 19 and 31 individual securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and twelve months or greater, respectively.

 

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that, at September 30, 2012, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity.  The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes, or company-specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 5.  Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

 

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh and as such, is required to maintain a minimum investment in stock of the FHLB that varies with the level of advances outstanding with the FHLB.  The stock is bought from and sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value.  The stock does not have a readily determinable fair value and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment as necessary.  The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted (b) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and (d) the liquidity position of the FHLB.

 

The FHLB had incurred losses in 2009 and for parts of 2010 due primarily to other-than-temporary impairment credit losses on its private-label mortgage-backed securities portfolio.  These securities were the most effected by the extreme economic conditions in place during the previous several years.  As a result, the FHLB had suspended the payment of dividends and limited the amount of excess capital stock repurchases.  The FHLB has reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 and has declared a 0.10 percent annualized dividend to its shareholders during each of the first three quarters of 2012. While the FHLB has not committed to regular dividend payments or future limited repurchases of excess capital stock, it will continue to monitor the overall financial performance of the FHLB in order to determine the status of limited repurchases of excess capital stock or dividends in the future.  Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein.  More consideration was given to the long-term prospects for the FHLB as opposed to the recent stress caused by the extreme economic conditions the world is facing.  Management also considered that the FHLB maintains regulatory capital ratios in excess of all regulatory capital requirements, liquidity appears adequate, new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value, and the resumption of dividends.

 

Note 6. Credit Quality and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management segments the Bank’s loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar risk characteristics.  Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics.  Categories include commercial and agricultural, real estate, and installment loans to individuals.  Real estate loans are further segmented into three categories: residential, commercial and construction.

 

The following table presents the related aging categories of loans, by segment, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Impaired Loans

 

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Bank evaluates such loans for impairment individually and does not aggregate loans by major risk classifications.  The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two categories overlap.  The Bank may choose to place a loan on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value.  The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loan.  When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

 

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard.  Management may also elect to measure an individual loan for impairment if less than $100,000 on a case by case basis.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent with the Bank’s policy on nonaccrual loans.

Modifications

 

The loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties.  These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions.  Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

 

Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

There has been one loan modification considered a troubled debt restructuring made during the twelve months previous to September 30, 2012 that has defaulted during the nine month period ending September 30, 2012.  The loan that defaulted is an installment loan to an individual with a recorded investment of $3,000 at September 30, 2012.

 

Troubled debt restructurings amounted to $13,870,000 and $17,478,000 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Internal Risk Ratings

 

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard.  Loans in the doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard loans, however, the weaknesses are more pronounced.  Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable.  However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.  Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent.

 

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  An external annual loan review of all commercial relationships $800,000 or greater is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions.  Confirmation of the appropriate risk category is included in the review.  Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

 

The Bank’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The total of the two components represents the Bank’s ALL.

 

14



Table of Contents

 

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  Allowances are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality monitoring.  Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation.  A general allowance is determined for “Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that are not individually evaluated for impairment.

 

For the general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter moving average.  Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

 

Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.  Management also monitors industry loss factors by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience.

 

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

Employer Contributions

 

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, that it expected to contribute a minimum of $750,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, there were contributions of $1,450,000 made to the plan with additional contributions of at least $225,000 anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2012.  The increased level of contributions is the result of management’s plan to reduce the unfunded portion of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.

 

Note 8.  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

The Company maintains the Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is intended to encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Company.  The Plan allows for up to 1,000,000 shares to be purchased by employees.  The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to purchase

up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 1,100 and 1,498 shares issued under the plan, respectively.

 

Note 9.  Off Balance Sheet Risk

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are primarily comprised of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

 

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, on an extension of credit is based on management’s credit assessment of the counterparty.

 

Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance related contracts.  The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management.  Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the coverage period.  For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

 

Note 10.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

Level I:

 

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

 

 

Level II:

 

Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

 

 

 

Level III:

 

Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

 

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

 

The following table presents the assets reported on the balance sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted impaired loans are valued using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

 

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique include appraisal adjustments, which are adjustments to appraisals by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s other real estate owned are the same inputs used to value impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

 

Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments.  Fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the fair values.

 

Fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments.  The Company’s fair values, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments.

 

As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of the Company, are not considered financial instruments but have value, this fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company.

 

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Loans Held for Sale, Accrued Interest Receivable, Short-term Borrowings, and Accrued Interest Payable:

 

The fair value is equal to the carrying value.

 

Investment Securities:

 

The fair value of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.  Regulatory stocks’ fair value is equal to the carrying value.

 

Loans:

 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and agricultural, commercial real estate, residential real estate, construction real estate, and installment loans to individuals.  Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

 

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.  The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

 

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals.  If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows.  Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discounted rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

 

Bank-Owned Life Insurance:

 

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

 

Deposits:

 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

 

The fair value estimates above do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

 

Long Term Borrowings:

 

The fair value of long term borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial Guarantees Written:

 

There is no material difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items.  The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 9 (Off Balance Sheet Risk).

Note 13.  Subsequent Event - Merger Agreement

 

On October 18, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Luzerne National Bank Corporation (“Luzerne”) under which the Company will acquire Luzerne in a stock and cash transaction.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Luzerne for a total purchase price of approximately $44.5 million as of the date of the agreement.  Luzerne shareholders will have the opportunity to elect to receive for each outstanding share of Luzerne common stock either 1.5534 shares of the Company’s common stock, $61.86 in cash or a combination of cash or stock. All shareholder elections will be subject to allocation and proration procedures set forth in the merger agreement that are designed to ensure that no more than 10% of the outstanding Luzerne shares are exchanged for cash. The transaction is expected to be a tax-free exchange to the extent that shareholders of Luzerne receive stock in exchange for their shares.  The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013 subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and approvals by shareholders of both the Company and Luzerne.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

EARNINGS SUMMARY

 

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Summary Results

 

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3,667,000 compared to $3,150,000 for the same period of 2011 as after-tax securities gains increased $290,000 (from a gain of $5,000 to a gain of $295,000).  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $0.96 compared to $0.82 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.77% and 15.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.67% and 16.49% for the corresponding period of 2011.  Net income from core operations (“operating earnings”) increased to $3,372,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $3,145,000 for the same period of 2011.  Operating earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $0.88 basic and dilutive compared to $0.82 basic and dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

The nine months ended September 30, 2012 generated net income of $10,754,000 compared to $8,967,000 for the same period of 2011.  Comparable results were impacted by an increase in after-tax securities gains of $702,000 (from a gain of $94,000 to a gain of $796,000). Earnings per share, basic and dilutive, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $2.80 compared to $2.34 for the comparable period of 2011.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.78% and 16.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.65% and 16.46% for the corresponding period of 2011.  Operating earnings increased 11.0% to $9,849,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $8,873,000 for the comparable period of 2011, resulting in basic and dilutive operating earnings per share increasing 11.3% to $2.57 from $2.31 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations, or operating earnings, in its analysis of the Company’s performance.  This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by excluding significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature.  Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses.  For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations, or operating earnings, means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains or losses and bank-owned life insurance gains on death benefit.  These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $9,267,000 compared to $9,173,000 for the same period of 2011.  The increase was due in part to loan portfolio income increasing as the impact of portfolio growth offset a reduction in yield of 57 basis points (“bp”) due to the competitive landscape and the continued low rate environment that is impacting new loan rates as well as the variable rate segment of the loan portfolio.  Investment portfolio interest increased due to growth in the average investment portfolio of $47,729,000 primarily from the addition of short-term corporate bonds to the portfolio, which offset a decline in the average taxable equivalent yield of 61 bp.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest and dividend income was $27,832,000, an increase of $793,000 over the same period in 2011.  Interest income on the loan portfolio increased as the impact of growth in the portfolio was limited by a 42 bp decline in average yield.  The investment portfolio interest income increased as the increase in portfolio size more than offset the 72 bp decline in yield.

 

Interest and dividend income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $386,000 to $1,577,000 compared to $1,963,000 for the same period of 2011.  The substantial decrease associated with deposits is primarily the result of a reduction of 32 bp in the rate paid on time deposits and a shift from higher cost time deposits to core deposits, with emphasis on money market and NOW accounts.  Factors that led to the rate decreases include, but are not limited to, Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) actions to maintain low interest rates and campaigns conducted by the Company to focus on core deposit (non-time deposit) growth as the building block to solid customer relationships.  In addition, during the past two years the time deposit portfolio has been shortened in order to increase repricing frequency.  The time deposit portfolio is now slowly being lengthened to build protection when interest rates begin

to increase with a focus on maturities of 36 months and greater.  In addition, the Marcellus Shale natural gas exploration in north central Pennsylvania is creating opportunities to gather new and build upon existing deposit relationships.  Borrowing interest expense decreased as the significant growth in deposits has allowed for a reduction in the average balance of borrowings.

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased 19.28% from the same period of 2011.  The reasons noted for the decline in interest expense for the three month period comparison also apply to the nine month period.

 

Interest expense composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Net Interest Margin

 

The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.34% compared to 4.55% for the corresponding period of 2011.  The NIM declined as a 36 bp decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was countered by a 52 bp decline in the yield on interest earning assets.  The decrease in earning asset yield is due to the impact of the current low rate environment on the loan and investment portfolios.  In addition, the duration of the investment portfolio has been shortened by utilizing shorter term corporate and agency bonds to offset the relatively longer duration of the municipal bonds within the portfolio.  This shortening of the investment portfolio limits current earnings due to the low rates on the short end of the interest rate curve, but it also limits interest rate risk and will provide cash flow over the next few years as we anticipate a period of increasing rates.  The decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities from 1.38% to 1.02% was driven by a reduction in the rate paid on time deposits of 32 bp.  The reduction in the rate paid on time deposits was the result of shortening the time deposit portfolio, which has resulted in an increasing repricing frequency during this period of low rates.  In addition, a focus on increasing core deposits has resulted in significant growth in lower cost core deposits.  The duration of the time deposit portfolio has slowly started to be lengthened due to the apparent bottoming or near bottoming of deposit rates.  The average rate on long-term borrowings declined due to the maturity of FHLB borrowings.

 

The NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 4.51% compared to 4.67% for the same period of 2011.  The impact of the items mentioned in the three month discussion also applies to the nine month period.  A 35 bp decline in the rate paid on time deposits served as the foundation for a 31 bp decline in the rate paid on deposits, while the FOMC and general market actions affected the yield on earning assets and cost of borrowings.

 

The following is a schedule of average balances and associated yields for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Bank.  Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

 

The allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to non-performing loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

 

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2012, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, increased unemployment, and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions, and reductions in income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank’s loan loss allowance.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

When determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.

 

The allowance for loan losses increased from $7,154,000 at December 31, 2011 to $7,521,000 at September 30, 2012.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was limited by net charge-offs of $1,433,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.  The primary driver of the charge-offs for the period was two partial charge-offs of construction real-estate loans that partially offset the provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.55% and 1.64%, respectively.

 

The provision for loan losses totaled $600,000 and $1,800,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.  The amount of the provision for loan losses was the result of several factors, including but not limited to, a ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans of 2.48% at September 30, 2012 and a ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans of 62.46% at September 30, 2012.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $12,041,000 at September 30, 2012 from $14,344,000 at September 30, 2011 due to charge-offs and the receipt of collateral in lieu of payment with the collateral now carried as other real estate owned.  Internal loan review and analysis and the continued uncertainty surrounding the economy, coupled with the ratios noted previously, dictated that the provision for loan losses was at a level of $1,800,000 for the nine month period ended September 30,

2012.  The level of provision for loan losses did not equate to the change in nonperforming loans due to the economic situation and the collateral status of the nonperforming loans and overall loan portfolio in general, which limits the loan specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest Income

 

Total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 increased $781,000 to $2,771,000.  Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 would have increased $342,000 compared to the 2011 period.  Deposit service charges decreased as overdraft fees have declined as an overdrawn dollar threshold must now be reached before the customer is charged a fee.  Gain on sale of loans increased as the level of real estate transactions processed has increased over the past year.  The increase in number of transactions processed is a direct result of our strategy to increase the number of mortgage originators within our market area, while also hiring additional mortgage originators to expand our market area.  Other income increased as debit and credit card related income continues to build as debit cards continue to gain in popularity, while an increasing number of merchants utilize our merchant card services.

 

Insurance commissions for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased due to continued efforts to add sales representatives.  Management of The M Group continues to pursue new and build upon current relationships.  The sales call program continues to expand outside of central Pennsylvania, which results in additional revenue for The M Group if an additional sales outlet is added.  However, the addition of a sales outlet for The M Group can take up to a year or more to be completed.

 

Total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 increased $2,007,000.  Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income would have increased $943,000 compared to the 2011 period.  The increase in non-interest income for the nine month period is the result of the same items noted in the three month discussion.

 

Non-interest income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Non-interest Expense

 

Total non-interest expense increased $490,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increases in health insurance, salaries, and bonus accrual.  Other expenses increased primarily due to expenses, such as advertising, associated with the opening of a branch during 2012 and increased fees related to providing debit card services.

 

Total non-interest expense increased $1,453,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.  The increase in non-interest expense for the nine month period is primarily the result of the same items noted in the three month discussion.

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Income taxes increased $254,000 and $700,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods of 2011.  The primary cause of the increase in tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 compared to 2011 is the impact of increased net income.  Excluding the impact of the net securities gains, the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 14.76% and 14.17% compared to 13.22% and 12.83% for the same period of 2011.  The Company currently is in a deferred tax asset position due to the low income housing tax credits earned both currently and previously.  Management has reviewed the deferred tax asset and has determined that the asset will be utilized within the appropriate carry forward period and therefore does not require a valuation allowance.

 

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $7,259,000 from $13,885,000 at December 31, 2011 to $21,144,000 at September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of the following activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Activity regarding loans held for sale resulted in loan originations trailing sale proceeds, less $1,053,000 in realized gains, by $1,502,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Loans

 

Gross loans increased $49,092,000 since December 31, 2011 due primarily to an increase of residential real estate loans with an emphasis on home equity products.

 

The allocation of the loan portfolio, by category, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is presented below:

Investments

 

The fair value of the investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2012 increased $26,103,000 since December 31, 2011.  The change is primarily due to purchases of short-term other debt securities coupled with a net unrealized gain of $16,437,000 at September 30, 2012 compared to an unrealized gain of $4,415,000 at December 31, 2011.  The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not credit issues/ratings, as approximately 94% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

 

The Company considers various factors, which include examples from applicable accounting guidance, when analyzing the available for sale portfolio for possible other than temporary impairment.  The Company primarily considers the following factors in its analysis: length of time and severity of the market value being less than carrying value; reduction of dividend paid (equities); continued payment of dividend/interest, credit rating, and financial condition of an issuer; intent and ability to hold until anticipated recovery (which may be maturity); and general outlook for the economy, specific industry, and entity in question.

 

The bond portion of the portfolio review is conducted with emphases on several factors.  Continued payment of principal and interest is given primary importance with credit rating and financial condition of the issuer following as the next most important.  Credit ratings were reviewed with the ratings of the bonds being satisfactory.  Bonds that were not currently rated were discussed with a third party and/or underwent an internal financial review.  The Company also monitors whether each of the investments incurred a decline in market value from carrying value of at least 20% for twelve consecutive months or a similar decline of at least 50% for three consecutive months.  Each bond is reviewed to determine whether it is a general obligation bond, which is backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction, or revenue bond, which is only payable from specified revenues.  Based on the review undertaken by the Company, the Company determined that the decline in value of the various bond holdings were temporary and were the result of the general market downturns and interest rate/yield curve changes, not credit issues.  The fact that almost all of such bonds are general obligation bonds further solidified the Company’s determination that the decline in the value of these bond holdings is temporary.

 

The fair value of the equity portfolio continues to fluctuate as the economic turbulence continues to impact financial sector stock pricing.  The amortized cost of the equity securities portfolio has decreased $2,582,000 to $10,108,000 at September 30, 2012 from $12,690,000 at December 31, 2011.  The decrease was due in part to the realization of gains in the portfolio.

 

The equity portion of the portfolio is reviewed for possible other than temporary impairment in a similar manner to the bond portfolio with greater emphasis placed on the length of time the market value has been less than the carrying value and financial sector outlook.  The Company also reviews dividend payment activities and, in the case of financial institutions, whether or not such issuer was participating in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.  The starting point for the equity analysis is the length and severity of a market price decline.  The Company monitors two primary measures: 20% decline in market value from carrying value for twelve consecutive months and 50% decline for three consecutive months.

Total deposits increased $59,446,000 from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  The growth was led by an increase in NOW and money market accounts from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 of 23.34% and 19.88%, respectively.  The increase in core deposits (deposits less time deposits) has provided relationship driven funding for the loan and investment portfolios.  The

increase in deposits is the result of our focus on building relationships with NOW and money market accounts as the key building blocks.  Over the past year and through the first nine months of 2012, time deposits have decreased as we have taken a position of using these accounts as complementary accounts to core deposits.  To facilitate this strategy we are actively working single product time deposit relationships to create a solid relationship through the addition of other products to the customer’s portfolio.  In addition, approximately $25,000,000 of the total deposit growth has been generated from the opening of the Danville branch in January 2012.

Capital

 

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and regulatory guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a level of capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth, maintain favorable access to capital markets, and preserve high quality credit ratings.

 

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of total risk-based, tier I risk-based, and tier I leverage capital. In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act (FDICIA) established five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” To be classified as “well capitalized”, total risk-based, tier I risked-based, and tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively.

 

Capital ratios as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

Liquidity; Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

 

The asset/liability committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Company to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

 

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited at September 30, 2012:

1.  Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum

2.  Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum

3.  Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum

4.  Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 25% maximum

 

Fundamental objectives of the Company’s asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk.  The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet its financial obligations to depositors, loan customers, and shareholders.  Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and business opportunities as they arise.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest rates.

 

The Bank, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity needs for deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and originations, and expenses.  In order to control cash flow, the Bank estimates future cash flows from deposits, loan payments, and investment security payments.  The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, FHLB borrowings, and brokered deposits.  Management believes the Bank has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.

 

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity on both a long and short-term basis, thereby providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends.  Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined.  Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost.  Both short and long-term funding needs are addressed by maturities and sales of available for sale investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold.  The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit provides core funding to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

 

Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity.  Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds.  The Company has a current maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $243,775,000.  In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $26,843,000.  Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs.  FHLB borrowings totaled $76,278,000 as of September 30, 2012.

 

Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s portfolio of assets and liabilities.  Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them.  Successful asset/liability management results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process is affected by segmenting both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months, or less) based upon when repricing can be effected.  Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities, for a specific time period to determine the “gap”, or difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates.  Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted.  However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to predictions, net interest income

will suffer.  Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed.  In addition to gap management, the Company has an asset/liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

The Company currently maintains a GAP position of being liability sensitive.  The Company has strategically taken this position as it has decreased the duration of the time deposit portfolio, while continuing to maintain a primarily fixed rate earning asset portfolio with a duration greater than the liabilities utilized to fund earning assets.  Lengthening of the liability portfolio coupled with the addition of limited short-term assets is being undertaken.  These actions are expected to reduce, but not eliminate, the liability sensitive structure of the balance sheet.

 

A market value at risk calculation is utilized to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheet and more specifically shareholders’ equity.  The Company does not manage the balance sheet structure in order to maintain compliance with this calculation.  The calculation serves as a guideline with greater emphases placed on interest rate sensitivity.  Changes to calculation results from period to period are reviewed as changes in results could be a signal of future events.  As of the most recent analysis, the results of the market value at risk calculation were within established guidelines due to the strategic direction being taken.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

In this analysis the Company examines the result of a 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point change in market interest rates and the effect on net interest income. It is assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all rates move in a parallel manner.  Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities.

 

The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2013 assuming a static balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.

The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected change.  In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change.  Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

 

Inflation

 

The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature.  Therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance.  Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors which are not measured by a price index.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level as well as the Company level.  The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced by an independent third party.  There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s gap analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011.  Additional information and details are provided in the “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” section of “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond in a timely manner when the market interest rate outlook changes.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

An analysis was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
