NEFFS BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2009
(Unaudited)
Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Neffs Bancorp, Inc. (the
Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Neffs National Bank (the Bank). All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a
normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 3l, 2009, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 3l,
2009. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
contained in the 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders.
In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q Report contains forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to,
those discussed in the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which reflect managements analysis only as of the date hereof.
Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Corporation files
from time to time with the SEC.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Neffs
Bancorp, Inc.s Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Note 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation is subject to certain routine legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary
course of business. It is managements opinion that the ultimate resolution of these claims will
not have a material adverse effect on the Corporations financial position and results of
operations.

Note 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. The Corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure and does not issue
potentially dilutive securities; thus there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.
Note 5. GUARANTEES
The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or
disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are
conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Generally, all letters of credit when issued have expiration dates within one year.
The credit risks involved in issuing letters of credit are essentially the same as those that are
involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation, generally, holds collateral
and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Corporation had $674,000 of standby
letters of credit as of March 31, 2009. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a
liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the
potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount
of the liability as of March 31, 2009 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not
material.
Note 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) effective
January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value.
There was no impact from the adoption of SFAS 157 on the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements. The primary effect of SFAS 157 on the Corporation was to expand the required
disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values.
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods 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
8
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are as
follows:
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 liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within
the fair value hierarchy used are as follows:

The Corporations adoption of SFAS 157 applies only to its financial instruments required to be
reported at fair value. The Corporation does not have non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities for which adoption would apply in accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, which clarifies the application of FAS 157 in an
inactive market and illustrates how an entity would determine fair value when the market for a
financial asset is not active. The FSP states that an entity should not automatically conclude that
a particular transaction price is determinative of fair value. In a dislocated market, judgment is
required to evaluate whether individual transactions are forced liquidations or distressed sales.
When relevant observable market information is not available, a valuation approach that
incorporates managements judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset in a current sale transaction would be acceptable. The FSP also indicates that
quotes from brokers or pricing services may be relevant inputs when measuring fair value, but are
not necessarily determinative in the absence of an active market for the asset. In weighing a
broker quote as an input to a fair value measurement, an entity should place less reliance on
quotes that do not reflect the result of market transactions. Further, the nature of the quote (for
example, whether the quote is an indicative price or a binding offer) should be considered when
weighing the available evidence. The FSP is effective immediately and applies to prior periods for
which financial statements have not been issued, including interim or annual periods ending on or
before September 30, 2008. Accordingly, the Corporation adopted the FSP prospectively,
9
beginning July 1, 2008 and considered this guidance in determining fair value measurements at March
31, 2009.
The Corporation conducts other-than-temporary impairment analysis on a quarterly basis. The initial
indication of other-than-temporary impairment for both debt and equity securities is a decline in
the market value below the amount recorded for an investment. A decline in value that is considered
to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the consolidated
statement of income.
In determining whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Corporation considers a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, the length of time and extent to which the market value has
been less than cost, recent events specific to the issuer, including investment downgrades by
rating agencies and economic conditions of its industry, and the Corporations intent and ability
to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value or
maturity. Among the factors that are considered in determining the Corporations intent and ability
is a review of its capital adequacy, interest rate risk position and liquidity.
The Corporation also considers the issuers financial condition, capital strength and near-term
prospects. In addition, for debt securities and perpetual preferred securities that are treated as
debt securities for the purpose of other-than-temporary analysis, the Corporation considers the
cause of the price decline (general level of interest rates and industry- and issuer-specific
factors), current ability to make future payments in a timely manner and the issuers ability to
service debt.
The assessment of a securitys ability to recover any decline in market value, the ability of the
issuer to meet contractual obligations and the Corporations intent and ability to retain the
security until recovery in value require considerable judgment.
Certain of the corporate debt securities are accounted for under EITF 99-20, Recognition of
Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests that Continue to Be Held by a
Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets. For investments within the scope of EITF 99-20 at
acquisition, the Corporation evaluates current available information in estimating the future cash
flows of these securities and determines whether there have been favorable or adverse changes in
estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected. The Corporation considers the
structure and term of the pool and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically,
the evaluation incorporates factors such as interest rates and appropriate risk premiums, the
timing and amount of interest and principal payments and the allocation of payments to the various
note classes. Current estimates of cash flows are based on the most recent trustee reports,
announcements of deferrals or defaults, expected future default rates and other relevant market
information. At March 31, 2009, the Corporation concluded that no adverse change in cash flows
occurred during the quarter.
The Corporation analyzed the cash flow characteristics of these securities. Based on this analysis
and because the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery of
fair value, which may be at maturity, and, for investments within the scope of EITF 99-20,
determined that there was no adverse change in the cash flows as viewed by a market participant,
the Corporation does not consider the investments in these assets to be other-than-temporarily
impaired at March 31, 2009. However, there is a risk that this review could result in recognition
of other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.
10
We own 4 collateralized debt obligation securities totaling $3,975,000 par value and $420,000 fair
value that are backed by trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts, and insurance
companies (TRUP CDOs). These securities are included in corporate held to maturity securities. The
market for these securities at March 31, 2009 is not active and markets for similar securities are
also not active. The inactivity was evidenced first by a significant widening of the bid-ask spread
in the brokered markets in which TRUP CDOs trade and then by a significant decrease in the volume
of trades relative to historical levels. The new issue market is also inactive as no new TRUP CDOs
have been issued since 2007. There are currently very few market participants who are willing and
or able to transact for these securities.
The market values for these securities (and any securities other than those issued or guaranteed by
the US Treasury) are very depressed relative to historical levels. For example, the yield spreads
for the broad market of investment grade and high yield corporate bonds reached all time wide
levels versus Treasuries at the end of November and remain near those levels today. Thus in todays
market, a low market price for a particular bond may only provide evidence of stress in the credit
markets in general versus being an indicator of credit problems with a particular issuer.
Given conditions in the debt markets today and the absence of observable transactions in the
secondary and new issue markets, we determined:
|
|
|
The few observable transactions and market quotations that are available are not reliable for
purposes of determining fair value at March 31, 2009,
|
|
|
|
|
An income valuation approach technique (present value technique) that maximizes the use of
relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs will be equally or more
representative of fair value than the market approach valuation technique used at prior
measurement dates and
|
|
|
|
|
Our TRUP CDOs will be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because we
determined that significant adjustments are required to determine fair value at the measurement
date.
|
Our TRUP CDO valuations were prepared by an independent third party.
Their approach to determining fair value involved these steps:
|
1.
|
|
The credit quality of the collateral is estimated using average risk-neutral
probability of default values for each industry (i.e. banks, REITs and insurance companies
are evaluated separately).
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Asset defaults are then generated taking account both the probability of default of the
asset and an assumed level of correlation among the assets.
|
|
|
3.
|
|
A higher level of correlation is assumed among assets from the same industry (e.g.
banks with other banks) than among those from different industries.
|
|
|
4.
|
|
The loss given default was assumed to be 95% (i.e. a 5 % recovery).
|
|
|
5.
|
|
The cash flows were forecast for the underlying collateral and applied to each CDO
tranche to determine the resulting distribution among the securities.
|
|
|
6.
|
|
The calculations were modeled in several thousand scenarios using a Monte Carlo engine.
|
|
|
7.
|
|
The expected cash flows for each scenario were discounted at the risk-free rate plus
200 basis points (for illiquidity) to calculate the present value of the security.
|
|
|
8.
|
|
The average price was used for valuation purposes.
|
We recalculated the overall effective discount rates for these valuations. The overall discount
rates range from 15.63% to 66.37% and are highly dependent upon the credit quality of the
collateral, the relative position of the tranche in the capital structure of the CDO and the
prepayment assumptions.
11
As of March 31, 2009, management does not believe any unrealized loss in its other debt securities
represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses at March 31, 2009 were
primarily interest rate-related.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be
recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our
Corporation January 1, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position or results of operations because the Corporation did not apply
the provisions of FAS 159 to any financial assets or liabilities.
In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF
Issue No. 99-20 (FSP EITF 99-20-1). FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue
No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and
Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, to
achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.
FSP EITF 99-20-1 also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment
assessment and the related disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be
applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is
not permitted. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on its results of
operations and consolidated financial statements .
Note 7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, Issuers Accounting for Liabilities
Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 provides
guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as
a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement
should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the
liability. EITF 08-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15,
2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. FAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for
selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental
entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP
hierarchy). FAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Corporation does not expect the
adoption of FAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial
position.
In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-3, Accounting for Transfers
of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions. This FSP addresses the issue of whether
or not these transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked
transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that presumes linkage of the two
transactions unless the
12
presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date;
early adoption will not be allowed. The implementation of this standard did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
FASB statement No. 141(R) Business Combinations was issued in December of 2007. This Statement
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures
in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and
measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determining what information to
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a companys
fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations because the Corporation did
not acquire control of any business during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities
Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. This FSP requires companies
acquiring contingent assets or assuming contingent liabilities in business combinations to either
(a) if the assets or liabilities fair value can be determined, recognize them at fair value, at
the acquisition date, or (b) if the assets or liabilities fair value cannot be determined, but
(i) it is probable that an asset existed or that a liability had been incurred at the acquisition
date and (ii) the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated, recognize them at
their estimated amount, at the acquisition date. If the fair value of these contingencies cannot
be determined and they are not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated, then companies should
not recognize these contingencies as of the acquisition date and instead should account for them in
subsequent periods by following other applicable GAAP. This FSP also eliminates the FAS 141R
requirement of disclosing in the footnotes to the financial statements the range of expected
outcomes for a recognized contingency. This FSP shall be effective for assets or liabilities
arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after
the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of
operations or financial position.
FASB statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment
of ARB No. 51 was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a companys fiscal year
beginning after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard will not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level
of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions
That Are Not Orderly. This FSP relates to determining fair values when there is no active market
or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to use
judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair
values when markets have become inactive. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt this FSP for the interim and
annual periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the
adoption of the FSP will have on the Corporations results of operations.
13
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, which relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments
that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing
this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP now
requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information
about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at
fair value. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt this FSP for the interim and annual periods
ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on
the Corporations results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which provides additional guidance designed to create greater
clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. FSP No.
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
but entities may early adopt this FSP for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15,
2009. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporations
results of operations or financial position.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement
Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP amends SFAS 132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and
Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an employers disclosures about plan assets
of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets
required by this FSP shall be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The
Corporation is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
In November 2008, the SEC released a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers
of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under the roadmap, the Corporation may be required to prepare
financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2014. The SEC will make a determination
in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. The Corporation is currently assessing the
impact that this potential change would have on its consolidated financial statements, and it will
continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.
Item 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the
major elements of the Corporations balance sheets and statements of income. This section should
be read in conjunction with the Corporations financial statements and accompanying notes.
Management of the Corporation has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These
forward-looking statements may be subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements
include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the
Corporation
14
and its subsidiary. When words such as believes, expects, anticipates or similar expressions
occur in this Form 10-Q, management is making forward-looking statements.
Readers should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in
the documents that management incorporates by reference, could affect the future financial results
of the Corporation and its subsidiary, both individually and collectively, and could cause those
results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or
incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. These factors include the following:
|
|
|
operating, legal and regulatory risks;
|
|
|
|
|
economic, political, and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset
management and credit services businesses; and
|
|
|
|
|
the risk that managements analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or
that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.
|
The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers
should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that the Corporation files
periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Disclosure of the Corporations significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the
financial statements of the Corporations Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December
31, 2008. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring significant judgments,
estimates and assumptions to be made by management, most particularly in connection with
determining the provision for loan losses, the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses,
and considerations of other-than-temporary impairment of investments. Additional information is
contained in this Form 10-Q under the paragraphs titled Provision for Loan Losses, Loan and
Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses, and Securities.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the first quarter of 2009 increased 20.1% to $847,000 as compared to $705,000 for
the first quarter of 2008. The increase in net income was principally related to the increase in
net interest income of $324,000 offset by increases in non-interest expense and income tax expense
of $99,000 and $91,000, respectively. Net income per common share increased 21.4% to $4.49 per
share from $3.70 per share in the first quarter a year ago. At March 31, 2009, the Corporation had
total assets of $248.0 million and total deposits of $201.3 million.
15
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Average Balances and Average Interest Rates
Interest earning assets averaged $233.6 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $219.4
million for the same period in 2008. The yield on earning assets for the first quarter of 2009 was
5.6%; this yield decreased from 5.7% in the comparable period in 2008.
Interest-bearing liabilities were $179.4 million during the first quarter of 2009, a 7.1% increase
from the $167.5 million reported in the first quarter of 2008. The change in average interest
bearing liabilities was the result of increases in time deposits of $8.9 million and savings of
$3.8 million, offset by a $1.0 million decrease in Federal funds purchased. The average rate paid
on interest bearing liabilities was 3.1% for the first quarter of 2009 and 3.8% for the first
quarter of 2008.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense
incurred on liabilities used to fund those assets. Interest earning assets primarily include
loans, securities and Federal Funds Sold. Liabilities used to fund such assets include deposits
and borrowed funds. Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction between
the volume and composition of earning assets, related yields and associated funding costs.
Interest income for the first quarter of 2009 increased by $131,000 or 4.2% over the first quarter
of 2008 due to an increase in interest bearing assets. Interest expense for the first quarter of
2009 decreased by $193,000 or 12.1%, as compared to the first quarter
of 2008. The decrease was
due to lower interest rates being offered and paid on interest bearing deposits.
Net interest income increased by $324,000 or 20.9% to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2009 as
compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2008. This increase resulted from an increase in
interest bearing assets and a decrease in interest rates paid on interest bearing deposit accounts.
Net interest margin represents the difference between interest income, including net loan fees
earned, and interest expense, reflected as a percentage of average earning assets. Net interest
margin for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.2% compared to 2.8% for the first quarter of 2008.
During the first quarter of 2009, the yield on earning assets was 5.6%, a 10 basis point decrease
over the 5.7% reported in the first quarter of 2008. The yield on interest bearing deposits
decreased to 3.1% as compared to 3.8% for the first quarter of 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses decreased to $0 for 2009 from $15,000 for the first quarter in 2008.
Management regularly assesses the appropriateness and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in
relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan
portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the allowance is reasonable and adequate for
each of the periods presented. The Corporation has no credit exposure to foreign countries or
foreign borrowers. The Corporation has no exposure to subprime mortgage loans.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2009 decreased by $7,000 or 10.6% from the same period
in 2008. The increase was attributable to decreases in service charges and fees, other service
charges and fees, and other income.
16
Non-interest Expense
For the first quarter of 2009, non-interest expenses increased by $99,000 or 13.8% to $818,000
compared to $719,000 over the same period in 2008 due to increases in other expenses, employee
expenses, and PA shares tax expense.
Salary expenses and employee benefits, which represent the largest component of non-interest
expenses, increased by $10,000 or 2.8%, for the first quarter of 2009. This increase was due to
increases in employee benefits and employee salaries.
Occupancy expense decreased 4.5% to $42,000 in the first quarter of 2009 from $44,000 for the same
period in 2008.
Furniture and equipment expense remained at $67,000 for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008.
Shares tax increased from $106,000 to $111,000 from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter
of 2009.
Other expenses increased by $86,000, or 57.7%, to $235,000 in 2009 from the same period in 2008.
This increase was mainly due to a $74,000 increase in FDIC assessment. Director training and
education, loan and collections, and bank account maintenance expenses also increased.
One key measure used to monitor progress in controlling overhead expenses is the ratio of net
non-interest expenses to average assets. The ratio equals non-interest expenses (excluding
foreclosed real estate expenses) less non-interest income (exclusive of non-recurring gains),
divided by average assets. This ratio equaled 1.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
the same period in 2008. Another productivity measure is the operating efficiency ratio. This
ratio expresses the relationship of non-interest expense (excluding foreclosed real estate
expenses) to net interest income plus non-interest income (excluding non-recurring gains). For the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, the operating efficiency ratio was 42.4% compared to 44.6% for the
same period in 2008. This decrease is due mainly to the increase in net interest income.
Provision for Federal Income Taxes
The provision for federal income taxes was $265,000 for the first quarter of 2009 compared to
$174,000 for this same period in 2008. The effective tax rate, which is the ratio of income tax
expense to income before income taxes, was 23.8% for the first three months of 2009 and 19.8% for
the same period in 2008. The effective tax rate increased due to the increase in pre-tax income
while tax-exempt income declined.
Return on Average Assets
Return on average assets (ROA) measures the Corporations net income in relation to its total
average assets. The Corporations annualized ROA for the first quarter of 2009 was 1.4%, an
increase of 10 basis points from the first quarter of 2008 because of the increase in net income
period to period.
Return on Average Equity
Return on average equity (ROE) indicates how effectively the Corporation can generate net income on
the capital invested by its stockholders. ROE is calculated by dividing net income by average
stockholders equity. For purposes of calculating ROE, average stockholders equity included the
effect of unrealized gains or losses, net of income taxes, on securities available for sale. The
annualized ROE
17
for the first quarter of 2009 increased to 7.6% from 6.7% in 2008, an increase of 90 basis points,
due mainly to the increase in net income for the first quarter of 2009 over the first quarter of
2008.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Securities
Securities available for sale decreased $0.3 million to $37.7 million as of March 31, 2009, from
$38.0 million at December 31, 2008.
The securities available for sale portfolio had an unrealized gain of $770,000, net of taxes at the
end of the first quarter of 2009, compared to an unrealized gain of $442,000, net of taxes, at
December 31, 2008. This increase was mainly due to continued decrease in interest rates.
During the first three months of 2009, the securities held to maturity portfolio increased $5.3
million to $96.9 million from $91.6 million at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased
deposits.
There are 55 debt securities in unrealized loss positions; however, the Corporation has the intent
and ability to hold these securities until maturity or market price recovery and therefore no
securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Net Loans Receivable
During the first three months of 2009, net loans receivable increased by $808,000 from $100.2
million at December 31, 2008 to $101.0 million at March 31, 2009. Net loans receivable represented
50.2% of total deposits and 40.7% of total assets at March 31, 2009 as compared to 51.9% and 42.0%,
respectively, at December 31, 2008.
Loan and Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
Total non-performing loans (comprised of non-accruing loans and loans past due 90 days or more and
still accruing interest) were $65,000 at March 31, 2009 as compared to $173,000 at December 31,
2008. There was no foreclosed real estate held by the Corporation as of March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
The management of interest rate sensitivity seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to
provide consistent net interest income through periods of changing interest rates.
The Corporations risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial
instruments, or market risk, is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The primary objective of
the Corporations asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income while
maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The Banks Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO)
is responsible for establishing policies to limit exposure to interest rate risk, and to ensure
procedures are established to monitor compliance with those policies. The Corporations Board of
Directors approves the guidelines established by ALCO.
An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined period, either matures
or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market interest rates. Historically,
the most common method of estimating interest rate risk was to measure the maturity and repricing
relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points
in time (GAP), typically one year. Under this method, a company is considered liability sensitive
when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing
assets within the one-year horizon. However, assets and liabilities with similar repricing
characteristics may not reprice at the same time or to the same degree. As a result, the
Corporations GAP does not necessarily predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest
rates on net interest income.
Management believes the simulation of net interest income in different interest rate environments
provides a more meaningful measure of interest rate risk. Income simulation analysis captures not
only the potential of all assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability
that they will do so. Income simulation also attends to the relative interest rate sensitivities
of these items, and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. Finally, income
simulation permits management to assess the probable effects on the balance sheet not only of
changes in interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to them.
20
The Corporations income simulation model analyzes interest rate sensitivity by projecting net
interest income over the next 12 months in a flat rate scenario versus net income in alternative
interest rate scenarios. Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk
management process in response to the changing economic climate. Currently, the Corporations
model projects a proportionate 200 basis point change during the next year.
The Corporations ALCO policy has established that income sensitivity will be considered acceptable
if overall net income volatility in a plus or minus 200 basis point scenario is within 5% of net
interest income in a flat rate scenario. At March 31, 2009, the Corporations simulation model
indicated net interest income would increase 10.49% within the first year if rates increased as
described above. The model projected that net interest income would decrease by 5.10% in the first
year if rates decreased as described above. These forecasts are temporarily outside the acceptable
level of interest rate risk per the policies established by ALCO due to $5.2 million in Federal
Funds Sold at the end of the quarter.
Liquidity
Liquidity management involves the ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable
rates to support asset growth and reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals, to maintain reserve
requirements, and to otherwise operate the Corporation on an ongoing basis. Liquidity needs are
generally met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of additional funds, mainly
deposits. Primarily cash and federal funds sold, and the cash flow from the amortizing securities
and loan portfolios provide liquidity sources from asset categories. The primary source of
liquidity from liability categories is the generation of additional core deposit balances.
Additionally, the Corporation has established secondary sources of liquidity consisting of federal
funds lines of credit and borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank, which can be drawn upon
if needed. In view of the primary and secondary sources as previously mentioned, management
believes that the Corporation is capable of meeting its anticipated liquidity needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Corporations financial statements do not reflect off-balance sheet arrangements that are made
in the normal course of business. Those off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans
and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These
commitments, at March 31, 2009 totaled $7.4 million. This consisted of $2.0 million in tax-exempt
loans, commercial real estate, construction, and land development loans, $4.7 million in home
equity lines of credit, $674,000 in standby letters of credit and the remainder in other unused
commitments. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will
expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to
the Corporation.
Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of
operations. The Corporation has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated
entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of
capital resources.
Capital Adequacy
At March 31, 2009, stockholders equity totaled $45.1 million, an increase of 1.3% over
stockholders equity of $44.5 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in stockholders equity
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included a $328,000 unrealized gain, net of income taxes,
on securities available
21
for sale offset by an increase in treasury stock of $230,000. Excluding this unrealized gain and
treasury stock purchase, stockholders equity changed by an increase of $470,000 in retained net
income.
Risk-based capital provides the basis for which all banks are evaluated in terms of capital
adequacy. The risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4%
and total capital, including Tier 1 capital, of at least 8% of risk-adjusted assets. Tier 1
capital includes common stockholders equity together with related surpluses and retained earnings.
Total capital may be comprised of total Tier 1 capital plus qualifying debt instruments and the
allowance for loan losses.
The following table provides a comparison of the Banks risk-based capital ratios and leverage
ratios to the minimum regulatory requirements for the period indicated. The consolidated ratios
are not materially different from those presented below.

During 2008 and 2009 the capital and credit markets experienced severe volatility and
disruption. From the third quarter of 2008 through the the first quarter of 2009, the
volatility and disruption reached unprecedented levels. Reflecting concern about the
stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many
lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases ceased to
provide, funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions. Although to
date we have not suffered liquidity problems, we are part of the financial system and
a systemic lack of available credit, a lack of confidence in the financial sector,
increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
|
|
|
|
|
In response to the turmoil in the banking system and financial markets, the U.S.
government has taken unprecedented actions, including the U.S. Treasurys plan to
inject capital into financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing the
financial markets generally or particular financial institutions. There is no
assurance that government actions will achieve their purpose.
|
|
|
|
|
The failure to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening
of the current financial market conditions could have a material adverse affect on
our business, our financial condition, the financial condition of our customers, our
common stock trading price, as well as our ability to access credit. It could also
result in further declines in our investment portfolio which could become
other-than-temporary impairments.
