TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (unaudited) include the accounts of TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Third Federal Bank (the “Bank”), TF Investments Corporation and Penns Trail Development Corporation. The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures or footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. For further information, refer to consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The aggregate market value of the voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant, based on the closing price of the registrant’s Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq System on June 30, 2006, was $58.5 million (2,027,416 shares at $28.85 per share).

NOTE 3 — CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 - OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company’s other comprehensive income consists of net unrealized losses on investment securities and mortgage-backed securities available for sale. Total comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,562,000 and $560,000, net of applicable income tax expense of $628,000 and $115,000 respectively.

NOTE 5—EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following tables illustrate the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

There were 20,638 options to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $34.14 per share which were outstanding during the first quarter of 2007 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

There were 24,226 options to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $34.14 per share which were outstanding during the first quarter of 2006 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

NOTE 6- STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has stock benefit plans that allow the Company to grant options and stock to employees and directors. The awards, which have a term of up to 10 years when issued, vest over a three to five year period. The exercise price of each award equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. There was $909,000 and $1,021,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested awards under the Plan at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 21.2 months and 32.3 months at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock options was $99,000 and $94,000, resulting in a tax benefit of $29,000 and $28,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the money options).

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1,069,000 and $119,000, respectively. Exercise of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 resulted in cash receipts of $1,742,000 and $124,000, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to stock grants was $90,000 and $91,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense included in net income related to the Company’s employee stock ownership plan totaled $61,000 and $107,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In September 2006, , the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance)”. This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Application of this issue has not made a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.  The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply.  The Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the results operations or financial condition of the Company.

In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements”.  Although the Company has decided against early adoption, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 and does not anticipate any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits thereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Financial Position

The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $661.6 million and $652.6 million, respectively, an increase of $9.0 million, or 1.4%, during the three-month period. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.5 million. Investment securities available for sale decreased by $3.8 million due to maturities of agency and corporate notes totaling $4.5 million offset by purchases of $0.8 million of tax-exempt municipal bonds, as well as an increase in the market value of these securities. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased by $2.7 million due to $4.9 million of purchases as well as an increase in the market value of these securities of $0.3 million net of $2.5 million in principal repayments received. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased by $0.6 million as a result of principal repayments.

Loans receivable increased by $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2007. Consumer and single-family residential mortgage loans of $17.1 million and commercial loans of $20.8 million were originated during the first quarter of 2007. Principal repayments of loans receivable were $24.9 million. Loans originated for sale during the first quarter of 2007 totaled $4.3 million, and there were $4.6 million in proceeds from the sale loans in the secondary market during this period.

11




Total liabilities increased by $7.2 million. Deposit balances increased by $6.6 million during the first three months of 2007. Savings, and money market accounts increased by a combined $6.1 million while interest-bearing and non-interest checking accounts decreased $3.0 million during the quarter. Certificates of deposit increased by $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $0.2 million, a result of a $4.8 million increase of short-term advances, less scheduled amortization payments of $5.0 million.

Total consolidated stockholders’ equity of the Company was $67.5 million or 10.2% of total assets at March 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2007 the Company repurchased 51,559 shares of its common stock and issued 105,453 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options. As of March 31, 2007, there were approximately 76,000 shares available for repurchase under the previously announced share repurchase plan.

Asset Quality

During the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Company’s provision for loan losses was $0 and $90,000, respectively. Management of the Company believes that there has not been any significant deterioration in its asset quality during the first quarter of 2007.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the change in interest income and interest expense (in thousands) attributed to (i) changes in volume (changes in the weighted average balance of the total interest earning asset and interest bearing liability portfolios multiplied by the prior year rate), and (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute value of changes due to volume and changes due to rate.

Tax equivalent adjustments to interest on investment securities were $110,000 and $94,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Tax equivalent interest income is based upon a marginal effective tax rate of 34%.

 

Total Interest Income. Total interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased by $126,000 or 1.37% to $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 compared with the first quarter of 2006. The average balance of loans outstanding decreased between the two periods largely because of the sale of $16.3 million of previously purchased loans during the third quarter of 2006. However, there was a 23 basis point increase in the average yield earned on loans reflecting a rise in the yield on both existing loans and new loans added to the portfolio during the intervening period in part due to two, 25 basis point increases in the Bank’s prime rate during the period March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2007 corresponding to identical increases in the federal funds interest rate of the Federal Reserve Bank. At March 31, 2007, the Bank had approximately $74.4 million in loans that are indexed to the prime rate primarily consisting of construction loans and commercial and consumer lines of credit.  Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was lower in the first three months of 2007 in comparison to the same period of 2006 due to normal repayments, plus the sale of $5.0 million of these securities during the second quarter of 2006, offset by a 20 basis point increase in average yield in these securities as a result of purchases of $15.0 million in higher yielding securities during the intervening period.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $613,000 to $4.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared with the first quarter of 2006. During 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the Bank raised the interest rates paid on many of its deposit products due to the competitive pricing environment in the Bank’s deposit market. Additionally during the intervening period, the Bank offered new products with higher rates which also contributed to a shift in the deposit mix. Accordingly, the interest rate paid on deposits increased by 77 basis points. Interest on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2007 versus the first quarter of 2006 as a result of a $36.6 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings.

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $1.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared with $681,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase is mainly attributable a $777,000 settlement award related to a lease fraud which occurred prior to 2003. Also, net gain on the sale of loans totaled $54,000 during the first quarter of 2007 while the gain during the first quarter of 2006 totaled $9,000 mainly due to an increase between the two quarters in the dollar amount of loans sold.

14




Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $220,000 to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Other non-interest expense increased during the first quarter of 2007 as a result of a $270,000 expense related to the bankruptcy of one of the Company’s loan servicing agents. On February 2, 2007, the Company became aware that one of its loan servicers which was servicing 43 loans totaling $15.4 million had filed for protection and reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 20, 2006.  On March 2, 2007 the bankruptcy filing was converted to a  Chapter 7 liquidation and the Company shortly thereafter obtained the servicing and began to directly service the loans. At the present time, the Company is seeking recovery of all monies collected and held on its behalf by the servicer and bankruptcy trustee.

15




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Company’s short-term sources of liquidity include maturity, repayment and sales of assets, excess cash and cash equivalents, new deposits, broker deposits, other borrowings, and new advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. There has been no material adverse change during three-month period ended March 31, 2007 in the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had commitments outstanding under letters of credit of $2.0 million, commitments to originate loans of $14.8 million, and commitments to fund undisbursed balances of closed loans and unused lines of credit of $57.0 million. At March 31, 2007, the Bank had $3.3 million outstanding commitments to sell loans. There has been no material change during the three months ended March 31, 2007 in any of the Company’s other contractual obligations or commitments to make future payments.

Capital Requirements

The Bank was in compliance with all of its capital requirements as of March 31, 2007.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Asset and Liability Management

The Company’s market risk exposure is predominately caused by interest rate risk, which is defined as the sensitivity of the Company’s current and future earnings, the values of its assets and liabilities, and the value of its capital to changes in the level of market interest rates. Management of the Company believes that there has not been a material adverse change in market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the quarter under report, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

16




CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain critical accounting policies of the Company require the use of significant judgment and accounting estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related data of the Company. These accounting estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made. Management believes that the most critical accounting policy requiring the use of accounting estimates and judgment is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. If the financial position of a significant amount of debtors should deteriorate more than the Company has estimated, present reserves for loan losses may be insufficient and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. The allowance for loan losses was $2,870,000 at March 31, 2007.
