TF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2009 (unaudited) and December 31, 2008 and for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (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 (“GAAP”). 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 September 30, 2009 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 the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

 

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 also holds stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) totaling $9.9 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company is required to maintain a minimum amount of FHLB stock as determined by its borrowing levels. FHLB stock can only be repurchased by the FHLB or sold to another member, and all sales must be at par. The Company holds FHLB stock as a long term investment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the FHLB suspended the repurchase of stock and dividend payments which prompted the Company to give consideration to evaluating the potential impairment of the investment. The Company evaluates potential impairment of its investment in FHLB stock quarterly and considers the following :1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the duration of this condition, 2) the ability of the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, 3) the impact of regulatory changes on the FHLB and on its members, and 4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. After evaluating these factors the Company has concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock is recoverable and no impairment has been recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The Company evaluates debt securities on a quarterly basis to determine whether other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists. This evaluation involves consideration of the length of time and the amount by which the fair value has been lower than amortized cost, the financial condition and credit rating of the issuer, the changes in fair value in relation to the change in market interest rates and other relevant information. The Company also evaluates its intent to hold, intent to sell or need to sell the securities in light of its investment strategy, cash flow needs, interest rate risk position, prospects for the issuer and all other relevant factors. Accordingly, the Company has performed this evaluation and has determined that the unrealized losses at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively are not considered other-than-temporary and are therefore reflected in other comprehensive income.

 

NOTE 7- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair valued on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement hierarchy has been established for inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

The fair value hierarchy levels are summarized below:

 

·                  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

·                  Level 3 inputs are unobservable and contain assumptions of the party fair valuing the asset or liability.

 

Determination of the appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement for the instrument or security.  Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis segregated by value hierarchy level are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

 

Investment securities available for sale and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing agent. Active listed equities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Corporate debt securities are primarily priced through a multi-dimensional relational model, a Level 2 hierarchy, which incorporates dealer quotes and other market information including, defined sector breakdown, benchmark yields, base spread, yield to maturity, and corporate actions.  State and political subdivision securities are also valued within the Level 2 hierarchy using inputs with a series of matrices that reflect benchmark yields, ratings updates, and spread adjustments. Mortgage-backed securities include the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and privately issued real estate mortgage investment conduits which are valued under a Level 2 hierarchy using a matrix correlation to benchmark yields, spread analysis, and prepayment speeds.

 

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or market value. The loans identified as impaired are real estate secured.  Market value is determined by using the value of the collateral securing the loans and is therefore classified as a Level 3 hierarchy.  The value of the real estate is determined by qualified independent licensed appraisers contracted by the Company to perform the assessment.  Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based upon the pertinent conditions.

 

The Company initially recognizes and measures servicing assets based on the fair value of the servicing right at the time the loan is sold. The Company uses the amortized cost method for subsequent measurement of its servicing assets and evaluates the recorded value for impairment quarterly. The Company retains a qualified valuation service to calculate the amortized cost and to determine the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation service utilizes discounted cash flow analyses adjusted for prepayment speeds, market discount rates and conditions existing in the secondary servicing market. Hence, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is deemed a Level 2 hierarchy. At September 30, 2009, the amortized cost basis of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights was $729,000 and the fair value of $613,000 was included in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The fair values of forward loan sales are determined at the time the underlying loan is identified as held for sale with changes in fair value correlated to the change in secondary market loan pricing. The value is adjusted to reflect the Company’s historical loan “fallout” experience which incorporates such factors as changes in market rates, origination channels and loan purpose.

NOTE 8- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

For the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity or available for sale and to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company substantially utilized the fair value measurement criteria as explained in Note 7- Fair Value Measurements. Additionally, the Company used significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.

 

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. In addition, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

 

Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available, as generally provided by estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies, resulting fair values and recorded carrying amounts are as follows:

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents equals historical book value. The fair value of investment and mortgage backed securities is described and presented under fair value measurement guidelines as amended.

NOTE 9- STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company has stock benefit plans that allow the Company to grant options and restricted 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. At September 30, 2009, there was $155,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested awards under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 22.6 months. Option activity under the Company’s stock option plan as of September 30, 2009 is as follows:

NOTE 11- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, or November 16, 2009. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

NOTE 12 — ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE

 

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended existing guidance for an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit or other post retirement plan. The amended guidance requires more detailed disclosure about employer plan assets, including employer’s investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. The new disclosures are required to be included in financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009 with early application permitted. The amended guidance only requires additional disclosures about the Company’s pension and other post retirement plan assets, the adoption will not affect the Company’s financial position or results of operation. The Company intends to include the additional disclosures effective December 31, 2009.

In April 2009, FASB issued an amendment which  provided additional fair value measurement guidance on (a) determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased; (b) identifying circumstances in which a transaction is not orderly; and (c) understanding the fair value implications of both (a) and (b). The original objectives emphasized in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) regarding fair value measurements have not changed. The Company adopted the guidance in applying fair value measurements as of June 30, 2009 which was the effective date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.  The additional disclosures have been included in Note 7- Fair Value Measurements.

 

In April 2009, FASB issued amended guidance for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of debt securities to make the standards more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of OTTI in the financial statements. The Company adopted the amended OTTI guidance as of June 30, 2009 which was the effective date. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation. The required disclosures have been included in Note 6- Investment and Mortgage-backed Securities.

 

In April 2009, FASB issued an amendment which required disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as for annual financial statements of publicly traded companies. The Company has included the required disclosures in Note 8- Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

In May 2009, FASB issued guidance and disclosure guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events. The new standard clarifies that management must evaluate, as of each reporting period, events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date and “through the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.” The Company adopted the guidance as of June 30, 2009 which was the effective date. The Company evaluated its September 30, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through November 16, 2009 the date the financial statements were available to be issued. As discussed in Note 11-Subsequent Events, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 

In June 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets. The amendment eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires enhanced disclosures to provide financial statement users with greater information about an entity’s continued involvement and risks associated with the transfers of financial assets. The amendment is effective for financial statement transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 (thus, calendar-year-end companies must adopt it on January 1, 2010). The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of this amendment.

 

In June 2009, the FASB amended the existing accounting and disclosure guidance that applies to variable interest entities (VIE). As a result an entity will need to reconsider previous conclusions to define whether an entity is a VIE and whether the enterprise is the VIE’s primary beneficiary as well as appropriate financial statement disclosures.  The guidance is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of this amendment.

 

In June 2009, FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification tm will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities and is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption did not result in changes to current practices nor have a material effect on the consolidated statements of the Company.

 

In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to existing accounting and disclosure guidance for fair value measurements of liabilities. The amendment provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. The amendment also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, an entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendment is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The Company will adopt the amendment during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as a result of this amendment.

ITEM 2.  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 September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $711.8 million and $733.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $21.9 million, or 3.0% during the nine-month period. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $13.0 million due to principal repayments received of $25.3 million, offset by purchases of $10.6 million, an increase in the fair value of the securities of $1.6 million and net discount accretion of $0.1 million.  Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased by $0.8 million mainly as a result of principal repayments. Loans receivable, net decreased by $13.4 million during the first nine months of 2009. Principal repayments of loans receivable totaled $75.4 million which were offset by originations of consumer and single-family residential mortgage loans of $48.4 million and commercial loans of $18.9 million. The Company increased the allowance for loan losses by $1.9 million and also transferred $3.2 million from loans to real estate acquired through foreclosure. Loans receivable held for sale decreased by $0.1 million, mainly the net result of loans originated for sale during the first nine months of 2009 of $34.8 million, less $35.1 million in proceeds from the sale of loans in the secondary market.

 

Investment securities available for sale increased $2.8 million due to purchases of municipal bonds of $7.9 million which offset sales and security redemptions of $6.0 million, as well as an increase of $0.9 million due to increased market value and net discount accretion.

 

Total liabilities decreased by $25.7 million during the first nine months of 2009. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $68.4 million in the first nine months of 2009, the result of a $32.4 million decrease in short-term borrowings and scheduled amortization and maturities of $36.0 million.

 

Deposits grew by $42.1 million due to an increase of $11.6 million in retail certificates of deposit and an increase in money market, interest and non-interest checking accounts of $44.3 million less a decrease in savings accounts of $13.8 million.

 

Total consolidated stockholder’s equity of the Company was $71.6 million or 10.0% of total assets at September 30, 2009. During the first nine months of 2009, the Company issued 1,533 shares of common stock as a result of stock option exercises. At September 30, 2009, there were approximately 102,000 shares available for repurchase under the previously announced share repurchase plan.

Asset Quality

 

During 2009, the Company completed foreclosure proceedings on five parcels of real estate. These loans were non-performing at December 31, 2008. As a result of these foreclosures, the Bank recorded a charge-off in the amount of $1.2 million.  Three properties with a carrying value of $2.1 million were sold and the Company realized a gain of $0.3 million from the disposition of the properties. The two remaining properties with a carrying value of $1.0 million are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2009. In addition, during the third quarter of 2009, a commercial loan was deemed an in substance foreclosure which resulted in an additional charge to the allowance of $0.3 million, and the Company collected the remaining loan balance. During the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, the Company’s provision for loan losses was $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. With respect to each of the remaining non-performing loans, all of which are real estate secured, the Bank is taking appropriate steps to resolve the individual situations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank provides valuation allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible loans. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs. On a quarterly basis the Company prepares an allowance for loan losses (ALLL) analysis with the loan portfolio segmented into broad risk types: commercial real estate, commercial construction, commercial business, single family residential, and consumer which is predominately real estate secured junior liens and home equity lines of credit. Each segment is assigned reserve factors based on quantitative and qualitative measurements. In addition, the Bank reviews it’s internally classified loans, its loans classified for regulatory purposes, delinquent loans, and other relevant information in order to isolate loans for analysis as potentially impaired loans.

 

Quantitative factors include an actual expected losses factor based on historical loss experience over a relevant look-back period. Quantitative factors also include the Bank’s actual risk ratings for the commercial loan segments as determined in accordance with loan review and loan grading policies and procedures, and additional factors as determined by management to be representative of additional risk due to the loan’s geographic location, type, and other attributes. These quantitative factors are adjusted if necessary, up or down, based on actual experience and an evaluation of the qualitative factors.

 

Qualitative factors are based upon: (1) changes in lending policies and procedures, including but not limited to changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; (2) changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; (3) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; (4) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; (5) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; (6) changes in the quality of the loan review system; (7) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (8) the existence and effect of any concentration of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and (9) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing loan portfolio.

 

Potentially impaired loans selected for individual evaluation are reviewed in accordance with GAAP which govern the accounting for impaired assets, and regulatory accounting principles which govern the accounting for troubled, collateral dependent loans. Each potentially impaired loan is evaluated using all available information such as recent appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, guarantor financial strength, the value of additional collateral, and the loan’s and borrower’s past performance to determine whether in management’s best judgment it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal in accordance

with the loan’s terms. Loans deemed impaired are generally assigned a reserve derived from the value of the underlying collateral. Loans deemed not to be impaired are assigned a reserve factor based upon the pool from which they were selected.

 

The ALLL needed as a result of the foregoing evaluations is compared with the unadjusted amount, and an adjustment is made by means of a provision charged to expense for loan losses. Recognizing the inherently imprecise nature of the loss estimates and the large number of assumptions needed in order to perform the analysis, the required reserve may be less than the actual level of reserves at the end of any evaluation period, and thus there is an unallocated portion of the ALLL. Management adjusts the unallocated portion to an amount which management considers reasonable under the circumstances.

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 $119,000 and $106,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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, decreased by $592,000 or 6.0% to $9.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared with the third quarter of 2008. Interest income from loans receivable decreased by $619,000, the result of a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding of $12.4 million, plus a decrease in the yield on loans of 34 basis points primarily as a result of the Company’s reduction of its prime rate three times during the last quarter of 2008 by a combined 175 basis points mirroring the action taken by the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) when it acted to reduce the fed funds rate. Interest income from investment securities decreased as a result of the decrease of $56,000 in dividends paid on the Company’s $9.9 million required holdings of FHLB stock. The FHLB had paid dividends on the stock through the third quarter of 2008 but suspended dividend payments until further notice during the fourth quarter of 2008. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was higher in the third quarter of 2009 in comparison to the same period of 2008 due to purchases of $33.0 million of securities which exceeded principal repayments of $26.1 million during the intervening period.

 

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $967,000 to $3.4 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the third quarter of 2008. The average balance of deposits increased by $47.5 million between the two quarters, and interest rates paid on the Bank’s deposits were 50 basis points lower in 2009. Interest expense associated with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank decreased $588,000 between the third quarter of 2009 and 2008. During the intervening period, the Bank reduced its average outstanding borrowings by $50.6 million and replaced maturing higher cost advances with low cost short-term advances.

 

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared with $0.7 million for the same period in 2008. During 2009, the gain on sale of loans held for sale increased by $87,000 as a result of the high level of residential loan sales activity which occurred in the third quarter of 2009. Also, gain on sale of foreclosed real estate during the third quarter of 2009 was $34,000 while there was no such gain during the third quarter of 2008.

Table of Contents

 

Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $206,000 to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. FDIC insurance premiums increased by $161,000 between the two quarters due to increased deposits, an increased assessment rate and the exhaustion of a credit the Company has been entitled to apply against the quarterly billed insurance premium. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased during the third quarter including costs associated with the maintenance on new software products used by the Bank. Compensation expense associated with stock options and grants decreased $164,000 during the quarter as a result of substantial completion of the vesting period used for expense recognition in 2008. Offsetting this reduction was an increase in employee compensation of $50,000, the combined result of annual salary increases and decreased commercial loan originations which lowered the deferral of in-house compensation costs. Also, costs associated with employee benefit plans increased $67,000 between the two quarters as a result of an increase in the periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit plan and a premium increase in the employer provided health insurance.

 

Income tax expense. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to 26.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. These effective tax rates are lower than the Company’s marginal tax rate of 34% largely due to the tax-exempt income associated with the Company’s investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and bank-owned life insurance.

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 $325,000 and $320,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 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, decreased by $1.5 million or 5.2% to $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the first nine months of 2008. Interest income from loans receivable decreased by $1.6 million, the result of a decrease in the average yield on loans of 38 basis points primarily as a result of the Company’s reduction of its prime rate three times during the last quarter of 2008 by a combined 175 basis points mirroring the action taken by the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) when it acted to reduce the fed funds rate. Interest income from investment securities decreased as a result of the decrease of $202,000 in dividends paid on the Company’s $9.9 million required holdings of FHLB stock. Dividends had been paid through September 30, 2008 but were suspended indefinitely during the fourth quarter of 2008. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was higher in the first nine months of 2009 in comparison to the same period of 2008 due to purchases of $33.0 million of securities which exceeded principal repayments of $31.2 million during the intervening period.

 

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased by $2.9 million to $10.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the first nine months of 2008. There was a $34.1 million increase in average outstanding deposit balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and the average interest rates paid on the Bank’s deposits were 59 basis points lower in 2009. Interest expense associated with borrowings decreased $1.3 million between the first nine months of 2009 and the same period in 2008. During the intervening period, the Bank decreased its average borrowings outstanding by $26.5 million from the FHLB and also replaced maturing high cost advances with low-cost short-term advances.

 

Non-interest income. Total non-interest income was $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2009 compared with $2.9 million for the same period in 2008. Gain on the sale of investment securities totaled $306,000 in 2009 while there was no such gain in 2008. Also, during 2009, the gain on sale of loans held for sale increased by $329,000 as a result of the high level of residential loan sales activity which occurred in the first nine months of 2009. Offsetting these increases was the increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights in first nine months of 2009 which reduced loan servicing income between the periods by $46,000. Overdraft fees earned in first nine months of 2009 were $109,000 lower than the same period in 2008. Other operating income during 2008 included $100,000 of non-recurring income recognized due to forfeited options to purchase the Company’s real estate held for development. Additionally, other income for the first nine months of 2008 was a $197,000 insurance claim recovery.

Non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $812,000 to $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Employee compensation increased by $346,000, the combined result of annual salary increases and decreased commercial loan originations which lowered the deferral of in-house compensation costs. Also, costs associated with employee benefit plans increased by $214,000 between the two periods as a result of an increase in the periodic benefit cost of the defined benefit plan and a premium increase in the employer provided health insurance.  Offsetting these increases was a decrease in compensation expense associated with stock options and grants of $495,000 as a result of substantial completion of the vesting period used for expense recognition in 2008. FDIC insurance premiums increased by $666,000 in the first nine months of 2009 due to a special assessment imposed by the FDIC of $330,000 in addition to an increase in the regular FDIC insurance premium as a result of increased deposits, an increased assessment rate and the exhaustion of a credit the Company has been entitled to apply against the quarterly billed insurance premium. Other operating expense during the first nine months of 2009 included an increase in robbery and deposit related losses of $50,000. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased due to costs associated with the maintenance on new software products used by the Bank. This increase was offset by the reduction of $70,000 in occupancy and equipment costs associated with the branch office on Quakerbridge Road in Mercer County closed during the second quarter of 2008.

 

Income tax expense. The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 27.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. These effective tax rates are lower than the Company’s marginal tax rate of 34% largely due to the tax-exempt income associated with the Company’s investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and bank-owned life insurance.

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 borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. There has been no material adverse change during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 in the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.

 

At September 30, 2009, the Company had commitments outstanding under letters of credit of $1.2 million, commitments to originate loans of $23.9 million, and commitments to fund undisbursed balances of closed loans and unused lines of credit of $51.3 million. At September 30, 2009, the Bank had $5.4 million in outstanding commitments to sell loans. There has been no material change during the three months ended September 30, 2009 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 September 30, 2009.

 

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 approximately $4.3 million at September 30, 2009.
