Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation.

Emclaire Financial Corp. (the “Corporation”) is a Pennsylvania company and the holding company of The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton (the “Bank”) and Emclaire Settlement Services, LLC (the “Title Company”). The Corporation provides a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in Western Pennsylvania. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgages, commercial business loans and consumer loans.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and the Title Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Corporation’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, as contained in the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of financial instruments, goodwill, real estate owned, the valuation of deferred tax assets and other-than-temporary impairment charges on securities. The results of operations for interim quarterly or year to date periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other period. Certain amounts previously reported may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

2.	Issuance of Common Stock.

On March 31, 2011, the Corporation sold 290,004 shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, in a private offering to accredited individual and institutional investors at $15.95 per share. The Corporation realized $4.6 million in proceeds from the offering net of $48,000 of direct costs relating to the offering.

3.	Participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) of the U.S. Treasury Department (U.S. Treasury) and Repurchase of Shares Issued Under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

On August 18, 2011, the Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to which the Corporation issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury 10,000 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (Series B Preferred Stock), having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $10.0 million. The issuance was pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s SBLF program, a $30.0 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets less than $10.0 billion. The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends payable quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2011. The dividend rate, which is calculated on the aggregate liquidation amount, has been initially set at 5% per annum based upon the current level of Qualified Small Business Lending (QSBL) by the Bank. The dividend rate for future periods will be set based upon the percentage change in qualified lending between each dividend period and the baseline QSBL level established at the time the Agreement was entered into. Such dividend rate may vary from 1% per annum to 5% per annum for the second through tenth dividend periods, and from 1% per annum to 7% per annum for the eleventh through the eighteenth dividend periods. If the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding for more than four-and-one-half years, the dividend rate will be fixed at 9%. Prior to that time, in general, the dividend rate decreases as the level of the Bank’s QSBL increases. Such dividends are not cumulative, but the Corporation may only declare and pay dividends on its common stock (or any other equity securities junior to the Series B Preferred Stock) if it has declared and paid dividends for the current dividend period on the Series B Preferred Stock, and will be subject to other restrictions on its ability to repurchase or redeem other securities.

As more completely described in the Certificate of Designation, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right to vote as a separate class on certain matters relating to the rights of holders of Series B Preferred Stock and on certain corporate transactions. Except with respect to such matters, the Series B Preferred Stock does not have voting rights.

The Corporation may redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the sum of the liquidation amount and the per-share amount of any unpaid dividends for the then-current period, subject to any required prior approval by the Corporation’s primary federal banking regulator.

Under the Agreement, the Corporation also repurchased 7,500 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock), issued on December 23, 2008 to the U.S. Treasury in association with participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Plan (TARP/CPP) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). The Series A Preferred Stock was fully repurchased for the sum of the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share and all accrued and unpaid dividends then due, for a total repurchase amount of $7.5 million. The warrants to purchase 50,111 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $1.25 per share, issued to the U.S. Treasury with the Series A Preferred Stock, remains outstanding. The warrant has a 10-year term with an exercise price equal to $22.45 per share of common stock.

4.	Earnings per Common Share.

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and warrants.

4.	Earnings per Common Share (continued).

The factors used in the Corporation’s earnings per common share computation follow:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Corporation intends to sell an impaired security, or if it is more likely than not the Corporation will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation records an other-than-temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost. Otherwise, only the credit portion of the estimated loss on debt securities is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income. For equity securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

5.	Securities (continued).

There were five equity securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2011. Equity securities owned by the Corporation consist of common stock of various financial service providers. These investment securities are in an unrealized loss position as a result of recent market volatility and depressed pricing of the financial services sector. The Corporation does not invest in these securities with the intent to sell them for a profit in the near term. For investments in equity securities, in addition to the general factors mentioned above for determining whether the decline in market value is other-than-temporary, the analysis of whether an equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired includes a review of the profitability and capital adequacy and all other information available to determine the financial position and near term prospects of each issuer. The results of analyzing the aforementioned metrics and financial fundamentals suggest recovery of amortized cost as the sector improves. Based on that evaluation, and given that the Corporation’s current intention is not to sell any impaired securities and it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Corporation does not consider the equity securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

There were 15 debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2011, all of which were in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Of these securities, 10 were U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies, four were state and political subdivisions and one was a residential mortgage-backed security issued by a government-sponsored entity (GSE). The unrealized losses associated with these securities were not due to the deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer that is likely to result in the non-collection of contractual principal and interest, but rather have been caused by a rise in interest rates from the time the securities were purchased. Based on that evaluation and other general considerations, and given that the Corporation’s current intention is not to sell any impaired securities and it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Corporation does not consider the debt securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Unpaid principal balance includes any loans that have been partially charged off but not forgiven. Accrued interest is not included in the recorded investment in loans based on the amounts not being material.

6.	Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (continued).

Troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The Corporation has certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to the customer’s financial difficulties, management grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan that it would not have otherwise considered, the modified loan is classified as a TDR. Concessions related to TDRs generally do not include forgiveness of principal balances. The Corporation generally does not extend additional credit to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $445,000 and $774,000, respectively, of loans classified as TDRs, which are included in impaired loans above. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $0 and $115,000 of the allowance for loan losses allocated to these specific loans.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation did not modify any additional loans as TDRs.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation did not have any loans which were modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification.

Credit Quality Indicators. Management categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors.

Commercial real estate and commercial business loans not identified as impaired are evaluated as risk rated pools of loans utilizing a risk rating practice that is supported by a quarterly special asset review. In this review process, strengths and weaknesses are identified, evaluated and documented for each criticized and classified loan and borrower, strategic action plans are developed, risk ratings are confirmed and the loan’s performance status reviewed.

Management has determined certain portions of the loan portfolio to be homogeneous in nature and assigns like reserve factors for the following loan pool types: residential real estate, home equity loans and lines of credit, and consumer installment and personal lines of credit.

The reserve allocation for risk rated loan pools is developed by applying the following factors:

Historic: Management utilizes a computer model to develop the historical net charge-off experience which is used to formulate the assumptions employed in the migration analysis applied to estimate future losses in the portfolio. Outstanding balance and charge-off information are input into the model and historical loss migration rate assumptions are developed to apply to pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful risk rated loans. Normally, a twelve-quarter rolling weighted-average is utilized to anticipate probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

Qualitative: Qualitative adjustment factors for pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful ratings are developed and applied to risk rated loans to allow for: quality of lending policies and procedures; national and local economic and business conditions; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; experiences, ability and depth of lending management; changes in trends, volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and classified loans and loss and recovery trends; quality of loan review systems; concentrations of credit and other external factors.

Management uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as pass typically exhibit good payment performance, and have underlying borrowers with acceptable financial trends where repayment capacity is evident. These borrowers typically would have a sufficient cash flow that would allow them to weather an economic downturn and the value of any underlying collateral could withstand a moderate degree of depreciation due to economic conditions.

6.	Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (continued).

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention are characterized by potential weaknesses that could jeopardize repayment as contractually agreed. These loans may exhibit adverse trends such as increasing leverage, shrinking profit margins and/or deteriorating cash flows. These borrowers would inherently be more vulnerable to the application of economic pressures.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard exhibit weaknesses that are well-defined to the point that repayment is jeopardized. Typically, the Corporation is no longer adequately protected by both the apparent net worth and repayment capacity of the borrower.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have advanced to the point that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently ascertainable facts, conditions and value, is highly questionable or improbable.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass and the criticized categories of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Corporation’s internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

An allowance for loan losses (ALL) is maintained to absorb probable incurred 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 loss experience and the amount of non-performing loans.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process 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.

Following is an analysis of the changes in the ALL for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	At or for the three months ended						At or for the nine months ended

Collectively evaluated for impairment		84,575			75,458			91,259			42,261			11,307			304,860

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

7.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s acquired goodwill and intangible assets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

(Dollar amounts in thousands)	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization

Goodwill	$	3,664	$	-	$	3,664	$	-
Core deposit intangibles		4,027		2,354		4,027		2,006

Total	$	7,691	$	2,354	$	7,691	$	2,006

7.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued).

During the third quarter of 2009, the Corporation recorded goodwill and a core deposit intangible of $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, associated with a branch purchase transaction. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during 2010 or in the first nine months of 2011. The core deposit intangible asset is amortized using the double declining balance method over a weighted average estimated life of nine years and is not estimated to have a significant residual value. During the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011, the Corporation recorded intangible amortization expense totaling $110,000 and $348,000, respectively.

8.	Stock Compensation Plans.

The Corporation’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and Trust (the Plan), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of restricted stock awards and options to its directors, officers and employees for up to 177,496 shares of common stock. Incentive stock options, non-incentive or compensatory stock options and share awards may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price of each option shall at least equal the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of up to ten years. Options shall vest and become exercisable at the rate, to the extent and subject to such limitations as may be specified by the Corporation. Compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions must be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

A summary of option activity under the Plan as of September 30, 2011, and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

						Aggregate		Weighted-Average
				Weighted-Average		Intrinsic Value		Remaining Term

Nonvested as of September 30, 2011		19,000	$	16.79

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation recognized $71,000 and $103,000, respectively, in stock compensation expense. As of September 30, 2011, there was $138,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.3 years.

9.	Fair Values of Financial Instruments.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sale transaction on the dated indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective dates and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at such dates.

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Available for sale securities – The fair value of available for sale securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on securities’ relationships to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

9.	Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued).

Impaired loans – Fair value on impaired loans is measured using the estimate fair market value of the collateral less the estimate costs to sell. Fair value of the loan’s collateral is typically determined by appraisals or independent valuation. Management’s ongoing review of appraisal information may result in additional discounts or adjustments to valuation based upon more recent market sales activity or more current appraisal information derived from properties of similar type and/or locale. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. As of September 30, 2011 the fair value consists of loan balances of $171,000, net of a valuation allowance of $36,000, compared to loan balances of $3.2 million, net of a valuation allowance of $1.2 million at December 31, 2010. There was no additional provision for loan losses recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011 for impaired loans.

Real estate owned – Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. As of September 30, 2011, OREO measured at fair value less costs to sell had a net carrying amount of $14,000, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $19,000 and a write-down of $5,000.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation transferred one equity security from a Level 2 classification to a Level 1 classification. This equity security had a fair market value of $725,000 at September 30, 2011, compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2010.

This information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, securities, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term borrowed funds, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of federal bank stocks due to restrictions placed on the stocks transferability.

Estimates of the fair value of off-balance sheet items were not made because of the short-term nature of these arrangements and the credit standing of the counterparties. Also, unfunded loan commitments relate principally to variable rate commercial loans.

10.	New Accounting Standards.

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended existing guidance relating to goodwill impairment testing. This guidance requires that if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, a qualitative assessment be performed to determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. Step 2 of the impairment test shall be performed if it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to determining whether a concession has been granted, the guidance clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates, interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Corporation as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity.

In September 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. The amendments in this guidance are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Corporation plans to early adopt the guidance in the fourth quarter of 2011 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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

This section discusses the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Emclaire Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and the Title Company, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010 and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC and with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes presented on pages 1 through 19 of this Form 10-Q.

This Form 10-Q, including the financial statements and related notes, contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased $10.0 million or 2.1% to $491.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $481.9 million at December 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from increases in cash and cash equivalents and securities of $8.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in other assets. The net increase in the Corporation’s assets was primarily funded by increases in customer deposits and stockholders’ equity of $8.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in borrowed funds of $10.0 million. The decrease in other assets was due primarily to a reduction in net deferred tax assets relating to the Corporation’s increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

Total liabilities decreased $966,000 to $441.8 million at September 30, 2011 from $442.8 million at December 31, 2010, resulting primarily from a $10.0 million reduction in borrowed funds as the Corporation prepaid a $5.0 million FHLB advance and paid off a $5.0 million credit line with another correspondent bank. Partially offsetting the decrease in borrowed funds, customer deposits increased $8.4 million or 2.1%, which consisted of a $10.9 million or 14.4% increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a $2.5 million decrease in interest bearing deposits, and other liabilities increased $742,000 due primarily to an increase in net deferred tax liabilities relating to the aforementioned increase in unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

Stockholders’ equity increased $11.0 million or 28.2% to $50.1 million at September 30, 2011 from $39.1 million at December 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Corporation raised $4.6 million in capital, net of expenses, following the issuance of 290,004 shares of common stock in a private placement offering to accredited investors. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation issued 10,000 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (Series B Preferred Stock) having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $10.0 million. The issuance was pursuant to the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program. In connection with this transaction, the Corporation also repurchased 7,500 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock), issued on December 23, 2008 to the U.S. Treasury in association with participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Plan (TARP/CPP) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). The Series A Preferred Stock was fully repurchased for the sum of the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share and all accrued and unpaid dividends then due, for a total repurchase amount of $7.5 million. In addition, retained earnings increased $1.5 million during the year-to-date period. Book value and tangible book value per common share was $22.91 and $19.86, respectively, at September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, the Bank was considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action with a Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio of 8.56%, 14.74% and 15.99%, respectively, compared to 7.92%, 13.27% and 14.52%, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results for the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Net income before accumulated preferred stock dividends and discount accretion increased $88,000 or 9.2% to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $961,000 for the same period in 2010. This increase was the result of an increase in net interest income of $137,000 and decreases in noninterest expense, the provision for loan losses and the provision for income taxes of $509,000, $33,000 and $57,000, respectively. Partially offsetting these favorable items, noninterest income decreased $648,000.

Net interest income. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $166,000 or 4.2% to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.9 million for the same period in 2010. This increase can be attributed to a decrease in interest expense of $290,000 partially offset by a decrease in tax equivalent interest income of $124,000.

Interest income. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $124,000 or 2.2% to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed to decreases in interest on loans and interest-earning deposits with banks of $139,000 and $23,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in interest on securities and federal bank stocks of $35,000 and $3,000, respectively.

Tax equivalent interest earned on loans receivable decreased $139,000 or 3.1% to $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease resulted as the average yield on loans receivable decreased 41 basis points to 5.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, versus 6.03% for the same period in 2010. This unfavorable yield variance accounted for a $318,000 decrease in interest income. Partially offsetting this unfavorable yield variance, average loans increased $12.1 million or 4.1%, accounting for $179,000 in additional loan interest income.

Interest earned on interest-earning deposit accounts decreased $23,000 or 36.5% to $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $63,000 for the same period in 2010. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning deposit accounts of 18 basis points to 0.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 0.91% for the same period in the prior year, accounting for an $11,000 decrease in interest income. In addition, the average balance of these assets decreased $5.7 million, primarily as excess cash was utilized to repay borrowings and fund security purchases, decreasing interest income by $12,000.

Tax equivalent interest earned on securities increased $35,000 or 3.3% at $1.1 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This increase resulted from an increase in the yield on securities of seven basis points to 3.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, versus 3.29% for the same period in 2010, due primarily to the deployment of excess cash into higher-yielding securities. This favorable yield variance accounted for a $23,000 increase in interest income. In addition, the average balance of securities increased $1.4 million or 1.1%, accounting for a $12,000 increase in interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $290,000 or 16.6% to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.7 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in interest expense can be attributed to a decrease in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds of $150,000 and $140,000, respectively.

Interest expense incurred on deposits decreased $150,000 or 11.3% to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 20 basis points to 1.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 1.61% for the same period in 2010 causing a $159,000 decrease in interest expense. This decrease was primarily due to deposits repricing during late 2010 and the first nine months of 2011 in the overall low interest-rate environment. Partially offsetting this favorable rate variance, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $2.3 million to $330.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $328.2 million for the same period in 2010 causing a $9,000 increase in interest expense.

Interest expense incurred on borrowed funds decreased $140,000 or 33.7% to $275,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $415,000 for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of borrowed funds decreased $11.7 million or 32.7%, accounting for a $134,000 decrease in interest expense. In addition, the average cost of borrowed funds decreased six basis points to 4.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 4.58% for the same period in 2010, causing a $6,000 decrease in interest expense. Both the decrease in volume and decrease in rate were primarily related to the Corporation’s early retirement of $10.0 million and $5.0 million in long-term FHLB borrowings during the third quarter of 2010 and second quarter of 2011, respectively, and the repayment of a $5.0 million credit line at a correspondent bank during the second and third quarter of 2011.

Average Balance Sheet and Yield/Rate Analysis. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information concerning the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resulting average yields, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting average costs, net interest income, interest rate spread and the net interest margin earned on average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this table, average loan balances include non-accrual loans and exclude the allowance for loan losses and interest income includes accretion of net deferred loan fees. Interest and yields on tax-exempt loans and securities (tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes) are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis. The information is based on average daily balances during the periods presented.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following table analyzes the changes in interest income and interest expense in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to which changes in the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate), rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on loans and securities reflect the changes in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.

Provision for loan losses. The Corporation records provisions for loan losses to maintain a level of total allowance for loan losses that management believes, to the best of its knowledge, covers all probable incurred losses estimable at each reporting date. Management considers historical loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, current conditions (particularly as they relate to markets where the Corporation originates loans), the status of non-performing assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio.

Information pertaining to the allowance for loan losses and non-performing assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans		66.90	%		107.66	%

Nonperforming loans increased $2.1 million to $5.3 million at September 30, 2011 from $3.2 million at September 30, 2010. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the addition of four separate credit relationships which were placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2010, as previously disclosed in the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and two separate credit relationships which were placed on non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2011 due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers as a result of poor economic conditions and a general decline in their ability to comply with contractual repayment terms on a timely basis. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans from 107.66% at September 30, 2010 to 66.90% at September 30, 2011 was a result of the aforementioned increase in nonperforming loans primarily related to these six credit relationships. The Corporation does not consider the decrease in this ratio to be distressing due to the underlying collateral adequacy of the nonperforming loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, nonperforming loans decreased by $1.4 million to $5.3 million from $6.7 million at June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to an $800,000 principal payment and $36,000 partial charge-off made on one problem credit and a $131,000 principal payment on a separate loan relationship. The Corporation had allocated specific reserves of $568,000 to the first credit during the fourth quarter of 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $12.0 million or 2.4% of total assets, with $8.1 million classified as substandard and $3.9 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $14.0 million or 2.0% of total assets, with $10.4 million classified as substandard and $3.5 million identified as special mention at June 30, 2011. The decrease in criticized and classified assets was primarily the result of the aforementioned principal payments as well as a $932,000 principal reduction of an additional loan relationship previously identified as substandard.

The provision for loan losses decreased $33,000 or 29.2% to $80,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 from $113,000 for the same period in the prior year. While net charge-offs increased to $126,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $104,000 for the same period in the prior year, a portion of the charge-offs experienced during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 related to the aforementioned credit with prior specific reserves allocated. While these charge-offs resulted in an increase in the Corporation’s historical loss experience, the decrease in specific reserves was greater than the result of increasing general reserves triggered by these charge-offs on loan loss history. Further, the specific reserves required for impaired loans decreased as a result of the aforementioned principal payment and due to the estimated value of the collateral adequacy supporting the loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter, the Corporation did not require additional provision for impaired loans.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $648,000 or 44.0% to $825,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.5 million during the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in gains on the sale of securities and commissions on financial services of $629,000 and $120,000, respectively. During the third quarter of 2010, the Corporation recognized $629,000 in gains related to the sale of securities to facilitate the early retirement of a $10.0 million FHLB long-term borrowing. These gains offset a $557,000 prepayment penalty related to the repayment of the borrowing which was recorded through noninterest expense. The decrease in commissions on financial services was primarily the result of the Corporation employing one representative during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to three representatives during the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances, other noninterest income increased $69,000 as a result of increased interchange fee income and fees and services charges increased $55,000 due to increased overdraft fees.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased $509,000 or 13.0% to $3.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in noninterest expense can be attributed to decreases in other noninterest expenses, FDIC insurance, intangible amortization and compensation and employee benefits of $480,000, $42,000, $31,000 and $18,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $58,000. Premises and equipment expenses remained stable between the two periods.

Other noninterest expense decreased $480,000 or 40.3% to $710,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed primarily to prepayment penalties totaling $557,000 assessed in connection with the early retirement of a $10.0 million FHLB long-term borrowing during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

FDIC insurance decreased $42,000 or 26.6% to $116,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $158,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed to regulatory changes affecting the FDIC insurance premium calculation. This change was effective for the September 30, 2011 payment and resulted in a decrease in the Corporation’s annual assessment rate from 13.63 basis points to 6.9 basis points.

As a result of a branch purchase completed in the third quarter of 2009, the Corporation recognized $110,000 of core deposit intangible amortization expense during the third quarter of 2011, compared to $141,000 for the same period in the prior year. Further discussion related to goodwill and intangible assets related to the branch office purchase can be found in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” beginning on page 5.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased $18,000 or 1.0% to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be primarily attributed to decreases in pension expense and commissions paid to financial services representatives.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $57,000 or 21.0% to $214,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $271,000 for the same period in the prior year, as the Corporation’s effective tax rate decreased to 16.9% for the third quarter of 2011 from 22.0% from the same quarter in the prior year due to an increase in tax-exempt income. The difference between the statutory rate of 34% and the Corporation’s effective tax rate of 16.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, is due to tax-exempt income earned on certain tax-free loans and securities and bank-owned life insurance.

Comparison of Results for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Net income before accumulated preferred stock dividends and discount accretion increased $91,000 to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was the result of increases in net interest income of $452,000, and decreases in the provision for loan losses and the provision for income taxes of $145,000 and $103,000, respectively. Partially offsetting these favorable items, noninterest income decreased $436,000. Noninterest expense remained flat between the two year-to-date periods.

Net interest income. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $557,000 or 4.9% to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $11.4 million for the same period in 2010. This increase can be attributed to a decrease in interest expense of $968,000 partially offset by a decrease in tax equivalent interest income of $411,000.

Interest income. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $411,000 or 2.4% to $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $16.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed to decreases in interest on loans, securities and interest-earning deposits with banks of $303,000, $42,000 and $73,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in interest on federal bank stocks of $7,000.

Tax equivalent interest earned on loans receivable decreased $303,000 or 2.3% at $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable of 37 basis points to 5.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, versus 6.07% for the same period in 2010. This unfavorable yield variance accounted for an $824,000 decrease in interest income. Partially offsetting this unfavorable yield variance, average loans increased $11.8 million or 4.0%, accounting for $521,000 in additional loan interest income.

Tax equivalent interest earned on securities decreased $42,000 or 1.3% at $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The average yield on securities decreased seven basis points to 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, versus 3.41% for the same period in 2010, due primarily to the deployment of cash received from the U.S. government agency calls into shorter-termed investment securities at market yields lower than the overall average of the existing portfolio. This unfavorable yield variance accounted for a $72,000 decrease in interest income. Partially offsetting this unfavorable yield decrease, the average balance of securities increased $1.2 million or 1.0%, accounting for a $30,000 increase in interest income.

Interest earned on interest-earning deposit accounts decreased $73,000 or 34.1% to $141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $214,000 for the same period in 2010. The average yield on interest-earning deposit accounts decreased 30 basis points to 0.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 1.00% for the same period in the prior year, accounting for a $60,000 decrease in interest income. In addition, the average balance of these assets decreased $1.8 million or 6.3%, accounting for a $13,000 reduction in interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $968,000 or 17.7% to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.5 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in interest expense can be attributed to a decrease in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds of $600,000 and $368,000, respectively.

Interest expense incurred on deposits decreased $600,000 or 14.4% to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2010. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 28 basis points to 1.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 1.71% for the same period in 2010 causing a $679,000 decrease in interest expense. This decrease was primarily due to deposits repricing during late 2010 and the first nine months of 2011 in the overall low interest-rate environment. Partially offsetting this favorable rate variance, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $6.3 million or 1.9% to $332.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $325.7 million for the same period in 2010 causing a $79,000 increase in interest expense.

Interest expense incurred on borrowed funds decreased $368,000 or 28.0% to $948,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The average balance of borrowed funds decreased $11.3 million or 29.3%, accounting for a $392,000 decrease in interest expense. Partially offsetting this favorable volume variance, the average cost of borrowed funds increased nine basis points to 4.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 4.55% for the same period in 2010, causing a $24,000 increase in interest expense. Both the decrease in volume and increase in rate were primarily related to the Corporation’s early retirement of $10.0 million in long-term FHLB borrowings during the third quarter of 2010, the early repayment of an additional $5.0 million long-term FHLB borrowing during the second quarter of 2011 and the $5.0 million repayment of a credit line with a correspondent bank during the third quarter of 2011.

Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans		66.90	%		107.66	%

Nonperforming loans increased $2.1 million to $5.3 million at September 30, 2011 from $3.2 million at September 30, 2010. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the addition of four separate credit relationships which were placed on non-accrual status during the fourth quarter of 2010, as previously disclosed in the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and two separate credit relationships which were placed on non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2011 due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers as a result of poor economic conditions and a general decline in their ability to comply with contractual repayment terms on a timely basis. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans from 107.66% at September 30, 2010 to 66.90% at September 30, 2011 was a result of the aforementioned increase in nonperforming loans primarily related to these six credit relationships. The Corporation does not consider the decrease in this ratio to be distressing due to the underlying collateral adequacy of the nonperforming loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, nonperforming loans decreased $1.3 million to $5.3 million from $6.6 million at December 31, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $12.0 million or 2.4% of totals assets, with $8.1 million classified as substandard and $3.9 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $12.4 million or 2.6% of total assets, with $8.3 million classified as substandard, $44,000 classified as doubtful and $4.1 million identified as special mention at December 31, 2010. The decrease in criticized and classified assets was primarily due to an $800,000 principal payment and $36,000 partial charge off made on one problem credit and a $131,000 principal payment on a separate loan relationship.

The provision for loan losses decreased $145,000 or 31.2% to $320,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 from $465,000 for the same period in the prior year. While net charge-offs increased to $977,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $381,000 for the same period in the prior year, a significant portion of the charge-offs experienced during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to four loans with prior specific reserves allocated. While these charge-offs resulted in an increase in the Corporation’s historical loss experience, the decrease in specific reserves was greater than the result of increasing general reserves triggered by these charge-offs on loan loss history. Further, the specific reserve required for impaired loans decreased as a result of the aforementioned principal payment and due to the estimated value of the collateral supporting the loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter, the Corporation did not require additional provision for impaired loans.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income decreased $436,000 or 12.8% to $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.4 million during the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in commissions on financial services and gains on the sale of securities of $146,000 and $547,000, respectively. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances, other noninterest income increased $183,000 as a result of increased interchange fee income and customer service fees increased $82,000.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense remained stable at $10.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This can be attributed to increases in premises and equipment and professional fees of $63,000 and $125,000, respectively, partially offset by decreases in intangible amortization, FDIC insurance premiums and other noninterest expenses of $97,000, $33,000 and $68,000, respectively.

Compensation and employee benefits remained stable at $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This can be primarily attributed to normal salary and wage increases partially offset by decreases in pension expense, commissions paid to financial service representatives and stock compensation expense.

Premises and equipment increased $63,000 or 3.9% to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily related to the fourth quarter 2010 purchase of the Titusville office building.

Professional fees increased $125,000 or 30.3% to $538,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $413,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily related to costs associated with human resources consulting, legal fees relating to foreclosure activities and increased accounting and audit fees.

As a result of the third quarter 2009 branch acquisition, the Corporation recognized $348,000 of core deposit intangible amortization expense during the first nine months of 2011, compared to $445,000 for the same period in the prior year. Further discussion related to goodwill and intangible assets related to the branch office purchase can be found in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” beginning on page 5.

FDIC insurance decreased $33,000 or 7.4% to $414,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $447,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed to regulatory changes affecting the FDIC insurance premium calculation. This change was effective for the September 30, 2011 FDIC payment and resulted in a decrease in the Corporation’s annual assessment rate from 13.63 basis points to 6.9 basis points.

Other noninterest expenses decreased $68,000 or 2.7% to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease can be attributed primarily to prepayment penalties totaling $336,000 assessed in connection with the early retirement of a $5.0 million FHLB long-term borrowing during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to prepayment penalties totaling $557,000 during the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting this decrease, collection, ATM processing, marketing and shares tax expenses increased by $55,000, $45,000, $32,000 and $23,000, respectively.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $30,000 to $611,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $641,000 for the same period in the prior year, as the Corporation’s effective tax rate decreased to 18.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 20.5% from the same quarter in the prior year. The difference between the statutory rate of 34% and the Corporation’s effective tax rate of 20.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, is due to tax-exempt income earned on certain tax-free loans and securities and bank-owned life insurance.

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB and Federal Reserve and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and maturing securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Corporation used its sources of funds primarily to reduce borrowed funds and to fund loan originations and security purchases. As of September 30, 2011, the Corporation had outstanding loan commitments, including undisbursed loans and amounts available under credit lines, totaling $47.9 million, and standby letters of credit totaling $219,000.

At September 30, 2011, time deposits amounted to $149.5 million or 35.8% of the Corporation’s total consolidated deposits, including approximately $43.0 million of which are scheduled to mature within the next year. Management of the Corporation believes it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments, all of its commitments will be funded as required by related maturity dates and, based upon past experience and current pricing policies, it can adjust the rates of time deposits to retain a substantial portion of maturing liabilities.

Aside from liquidity available from customer deposits or through sales and maturities of securities, the Corporation has alternative sources of funds such as a term borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve’s discount window. At September 30, 2011, the Corporation’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB, net of funds borrowed, was $139.1 million.

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely impact its liquidity or its ability to meet funding needs in the ordinary course of business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates or judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily though the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has identified the following as critical accounting policies.

Allowance for loan losses. The Corporation considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. Among the many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses, some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all of the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact the Corporation’s financial condition or earnings in future periods.

Other-than-temporary impairment. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.

Goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. The impairment test is a two-step process that begins with an initial impairment evaluation. If the initial evaluation suggests that an impairment of the asset value exists, the second step is to determine the amount of the impairment. If the tests conclude that goodwill is impaired, the carrying value is adjusted and an impairment charge is recorded. As of December 31, 2010, the required annual impairment test of goodwill was performed and management concluded that no impairment existed as of that date.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for the Corporation consists primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk, and has no trading portfolio, and therefore, is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market value of long-term interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses depend upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

One of the primary functions of the Corporation’s asset/liability management committee is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability committee is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of the Bank’s rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing “gap”, provide an indication of the extent that the Corporation’s net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income. The closer to zero that gap is maintained, generally, the lesser the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income.

Assumptions about the timing and variability of cash flows are critical in gap analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the expected attrition of the core deposits portfolios. These assumptions are based on the Corporation’s historical experience, industry standards and assumptions provided by a federal regulatory agency, which management believes most accurately represents the sensitivity of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, at September 30, 2011, the Corporation’s interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled $149.8 million while the Corporation’s interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one-year totaled $136.2 million, providing an excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $13.6 million. At September 30, 2011, the percentage of the Corporation’s liabilities to assets maturing or repricing within one year was 90.9%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).

As of September 30, 2011, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Corporation’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Corporation completed its evaluation.

There has been no change made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
