FIRST NATIONAL COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its bank subsidiary, First National Community Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and general practices within the financial services industry. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 have been included.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and operations for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), security valuations, the evaluation of deferred income taxes and goodwill, and the impairment of securities. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these material estimates.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys December 31, 2009 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K/A and the Companys March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 unaudited financial statements filed on Form 10-Q/A.
Note 2. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, (i) enhances reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets, (ii) eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and (iii) requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860 was effective on January 1, 2010. This pronouncement did not have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810)Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. ASU No. 2009-17 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entitys involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entitys financial statements. The provisions of ASU No. 2009-17 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. Specifically, the update requires an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for such transfers. A reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs. In addition, the update clarifies the following requirements of the existing disclosures: (i) for the purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets; and (ii) a reporting entity is required to include disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 under ASC 350 details when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. Under Topic 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, and did not have an effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements upon adoption as the Company had written down all of its goodwill as of December 31, 2009.
Standards to be Adopted In Future Periods
ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310) - Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, requires significant new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The objective of these disclosures is to improve financial statement users understanding of (i) the nature of an entitys credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (ii) the entitys assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. The disclosures should be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolios risk and performance. The required disclosures include, among other things, a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU No. 2010-20 disclosures related to period-end information (e.g., credit-quality information and the ending financing receivables balance segregated by impairment method) were required in all interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Disclosures of activity that occurs during a reporting period (e.g., the roll forward of the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment) will be required in interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures for reporting periods ending after initial adoption are required. Since the provisions of ASU 2010-20 only impact disclosure, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310)Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, was issued in January 2011 and postpones the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. The new effective date for disclosures about troubled debt restructurings will be aligned with the finalization of the effective date of the exposure drafts Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, which is proposed for interim and annual periods ending on or after June 15, 2011.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (ASU 2011-02), an update to ASC Topic 310- Receivables. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In order to meet the requirements for a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and also clarify the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, an update to ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in US GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 include clarifications about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes to principles for measuring fair value. ASU 2011-04 also requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is required to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-04 on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), an update to ASC Topic 220 - Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting. The amendment provides the entity an option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 is an update only for presentation and as such will not impact the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of this Update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entitys recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.
Reclassification of Prior Year Financial Statements
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years consolidated financial statements that conform to the current years presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss or shareholders equity.
During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company changed its method of presenting the statement of cash flows from operating activities from the direct method (which showed principal components of operating cash receipts and payments) to the indirect method (which adjusts net income to remove the effects of noncash operating transactions). This change has been applied retroactively to the September 30, 2009 statement of cash flows.
Note 3. Regulatory Matters
The Bank is under a Consent Order (the Order) from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) dated September 1, 2010. The Company is also subject to a written Agreement (the Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the Reserve Bank) dated November 24, 2010.

(x) the Company must submit to the Reserve Bank, by January 23, 2011, acceptable written procedures to strengthen and maintain internal controls to ensure all required regulatory reports and notices filed with the Board of Governors are accurate and filed in accordance with the instructions for preparation;
(xi) the Company must submit to the Reserve Bank, by January 8, 2011, a cash flow projection for 2011, reflecting the Companys planned sources and uses of cash, and submit a cash flow projection for each subsequent calendar year at least one month prior to the beginning of such year;
(xii) the Company must comply with: (1) the notice provisions of Section 32 of the FDI Act and Subpart H of Regulation Y in appointing any new director or senior executive officer or changing the duties of any senior executive officer; and (2) the restrictions on indemnification and severance payments of Section 18(k) of the FDI Act and Part 359 of the FDICs regulations; and
(xiii) the Board must submit written progress reports within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter.
Since entering into the Order and the Agreement, the Company has incurred expenses in an effort to comply with the terms of these agreements. In particular, the Company has incurred expenses in connection with developing and implementing policies and procedures and hiring additional personnel as required by the Order and the Agreement. During 2010 and 2011, the Company has incurred approximately $1.4 million and $886 thousand, respectively, of expenses related to entering into and complying with these regulatory agreements, consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees. In addition, the Order and the Agreement place restrictions on the Companys ability to borrow funds and pay interest and dividends to its security holders. In the future, the Company expects to continue to experience increased costs related to compliance with these regulatory agreements and to face restrictions on its operations for as long as it continues to operate under the Order and the Agreement. The Company expects, however, that future compliance expense will decrease significantly from the 2010 and 2011 levels, because the majority of expenses incurred to date are related to development and implementation of processes and policies that, one finalized and implemented, are not expected to recur.
The Order and Agreement have not and are not expected to have an impact on the Companys ability to attract and maintain deposits or the Companys cost of funds. In order to meet the increased capital requirements imposed under the Order and the Agreement, however, unless the Company is able to raise additional capital, the Company could be limited in the aggregate amount of loans it can have outstanding, which may constrain loan growth. While it is not anticipated that the Order and the Agreement will have an immediate impact on the Companys net interest margin, the overall cost of compliance with the Order and the Agreement will continue to impact profitability at least through the end of 2012.
Banking regulations also limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Banks regulatory agency. At April 6, 2012, the Company and the Bank are restricted from paying any dividends without regulatory approval.
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices must be met. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
In accordance with the Order, the Bank is required to achieve and thereafter maintain a total risk-based capital equal to at least 13% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital equal to at least 9% of adjusted total assets. At September 30, 2010, the Bank did not meet these requirements. The minimum capital requirements under the Order take precedence over the standard regulatory capital adequacy definitions described in the tables below. The Companys and the Banks actual capital positions and ratios as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented in the following table (in thousands):

Non-performing loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the loans on nonaccrual totaled $37.5 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The total recorded investment in loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest amounted to $0 and $117 thousand at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings totaling $5.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, were all performing in accordance with the restructured agreements as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The total recorded
investment in impaired loans amounted to $43.0 million and $36.6 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
The additional interest income that would have been earned on nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding at September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 in accordance with their original terms approximated $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

The average balance of impaired loans was $43.2 million and $49.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company recorded $583 thousand of interest income on impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company recorded $666 thousand of interest income on impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The Company attempts to limit its exposure to concentrations of credit risk by diversifying its loan portfolio and closely monitoring any concentrations of credit risk. The commercial real estate and construction land acquisition and development portfolios comprise $362.6 million or 46% of net loans at September 30, 2010. In addition, the Company had commercial real estate and construction land acquisition and development loans of $41.8 million or 5.4% of net loans secured by properties outside of Pennsylvania. Geographic concentrations exist because the Company provides a full range of banking services, including commercial, consumer and mortgage loans to individuals and corporate customers in its market areas in Pennsylvania. Management believes underwriting guidelines and ongoing review by loan review mitigates these risks.
The Company has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to certain executive officers and directors of the Company as well as to certain related parties of executive officers and directors. These loans, letters of credit and lines of credit were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and, when made, did not involve more than normal risk of collectability. See Note 9 to these consolidated financial statements for more information on related party transactions.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying amount of $257.1 million and $187.9 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and for other purposes.
The following table shows the amortized cost and fair value of the Companys debt securities (in thousands) at September 30, 2010 using contractual maturities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturity because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary.

At September 30, 2010, the Companys investment portfolio was composed of U.S. government agency securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions, government-sponsored agency obligations, residential mortgage backed securities, pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (PreTSLs), corporate debt securities, and equity securities. The Company sold its entire holdings of private label collateralized mortgage obligations (PLCMOs) during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
At September 30, 2010, excluding PreTSLs, 107 of the Companys debt securities holdings having unrealized losses have depreciated 4.9% from their amortized cost basis. These securities are guaranteed by either the U.S. Government, government sponsored agencies, other governments or corporations, and all are considered investment grade. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of the Companys investment in obligations of state and political subdivisions are also guaranteed by underlying insurance which further secures the safety of principal. These unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not anticipate that it will be required to sell these securities before the full recovery of principal and interest due, which may be at maturity. Therefore, the Company did not consider the carrying value of these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired (OTTI) at September 30, 2010.
At September 30, 2010, seven of the Companys PreTSLs having realized cumulative OTTI losses of $22.4 million and unrealized losses of $9.4 million have depreciated 78.9% and 92.3% from their current amortized cost and face values, respectively.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its investment securities for OTTI. Unrealized losses on securities are considered to be other-than-temporarily-impaired when the Company believes the securitys impairment is due to factors that could include the issuers inability to pay interest or dividends, its potential for default, and/or other factors. When a held to maturity or available-for-sale debt security is assessed for OTTI, the Company must first consider (a) whether management intends to sell the security and (b) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. If one of these circumstances applies to a security, an OTTI loss is recognized in the statement of operations equal to the full amount of the decline in fair value below amortized cost. If neither of these circumstances applies to a security, but the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, an OTTI loss has occurred that must be separated into two categories: (a) the amount related to credit loss and (b) the amount related to other factors (such as market risk). In assessing the level of OTTI attributable to credit loss, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected with the amortized cost basis of the security. As discussed previously, the portion of the total OTTI related to credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The total OTTI loss is presented in the statement of operations, less the portion recognized in other comprehensive income. When a debt security becomes other-than-temporarily impaired, its amortized cost basis is reduced to reflect the portion of the total impairment related to credit loss.
To determine whether a securitys impairment is other-than-temporary, management considers factors that include:
· the causes of the decline in fair value, such as credit problems, interest rate fluctuations, or market volatility;
· the severity and duration of the decline;
· the Companys ability and intent to hold equity security investments until they recover in value, as well as the likelihood of such a recovery in the near term;
· the Companys intent to sell security investments, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their individual amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss.
For debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell, or will not be required to sell, the primary consideration in determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary is whether or not the Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows.
Based on the Companys evaluation at September 30, 2010, the Company has determined that the decreases in estimated fair value of the securities it holds in its portfolio are temporary with the exception of seven PreTSLs. The Companys estimate of projected discounted cash flows it expects to receive was less than the securities carrying value, resulting in a credit-related impairment charge to earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.2 and $4.1 million, respectively. The $4.1 million consisted of $4.0 million and $0.1 million in credit-related impairments on its PreTSLs and PLCMOs, respectively. The Company sold its entire holding of PLCMOs during the third quarter of 2010 to better manage and improve credit risk in its investment portfolio. The Company recorded a $2.9 million loss on the sale of its PLCMOs.
OTTI of Pooled Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations:
As of September 30, 2010, the book value of the Companys PreTSLs totaled $12.3 million with an estimated fair value of $2.8 million and is comprised of seven securities each of which is collateralized by debt issued by bank holding companies and insurance companies. The Company holds one senior tranche and six mezzanine tranches and the mezzanine tranches all possess credit ratings below investment grade. During 2010, all of the pooled issues were downgraded further by either Moodys or Fitch ratings services. At the time of initial issue, no more than 5% of any pooled security consisted of a security issued by any one institution. As of September 30, 2010, six of these securities had no excess subordination and one had excess subordination equal to 8.7% of the current performing collateral. Excess subordination is the amount by which the underlying performing collateral exceeds the outstanding bonds in the current class plus all senior classes. It can also be referred to as credit enhancement. As deferrals and defaults of underlying issuers occur, the excess subordination is reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk of the security experiencing principal or interest shortfalls. Conversely, subordination can be increased as collateral transitions from non-performing to performing. The coverage ratio, or overcollateralization, of a specific security measures the rate of performing collateral to a given class of notes. It is calculated by dividing the performing collateral in a transaction by the current balance of the class of notes plus all classes senior to that class.

The Companys PreTSLs are measured for OTTI within the scope of ASC Topic 325 by determining whether an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. The Company uses a third-party service provider to perform this analysis. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected involves comparing the present value of remaining cash flows previously projected against the present value of the cash flows estimated at September 30, 2010. The Company considers the discounted cash flow analysis to be our primary evidence when determining whether credit related OTTI exists.
Results of a discounted cash flow test are significantly affected by variables such as the estimate of the probability of default, discount rates, prepayment rates and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers. The following provides additional information for each of these variables:
· Probability of Default An issuer level approach is used to analyze each security and default and recovery assumptions are based on the credit quality of the underlying issuers (generally, bank holding companies or insurance companies). Each bank issuer is evaluated based upon an examination of the trends in its earnings, net interest margin, operating efficiency, liquidity, capital position, level of nonperforming loans to total loans, apparent sufficiency of loan loss reserves, Texas ratio and whether the bank received TARP monies. From this information, each issuer bank that is currently performing is assigned a category of Good, Average, Weak, or Troubled. Default rates are then assigned based upon the historical performance of each category. Additionally, because the information available to the Company regarding the underlying insurance company issuers is more limited than for bank issuers, rather than performing an analysis of each issuers results and assigning insurance company issuers to these same categories, the Company uses the Moodys one year long-term default rate assumption for insurance companies. The historical default rates used in this analysis are:

Each issuer in the collateral pool is assigned a probability of default for each year until maturity. Banks currently in default or deferring interest payments thus far are assumed to default immediately. A zero percent projected recovery rate is applied to defaults and deferrals. The probability of default is updated quarterly based upon changes in the creditworthiness of each underlying issuer. Timing of defaults and deferrals has a substantial impact on each valuation. As a result of this analysis, each issuer is assigned an expected default rate specific to that issuer.
· Estimates of Future Cash Flows While understanding the composition and characteristics of each bank issuer is important in evaluating the security, certain issuers have a disproportionate impact (both positive and negative) based upon other attributes, such as the interest rate payable by each issuer. Each credit is assessed independently, and the timing and nature of each issuers performance is assessed. Once assessed, the expected performance of each issuer is applied to a structural cash flow model. Due to the complexity of these transactions, the expected performance of each unique issuer requires an adherence to the governing documents of the securitization to derive a cash flow. A model
produced by a third party is utilized to assist in determining cash flows. Utilization of third party cash flow modeling to derive cash flows from assumptions is a market convention for these types of securities.
· Discount Rate The Company is discounting projected cash flows based upon its discount margin defined at the time of purchase, which constitutes a spread over 3-month LIBOR plus credit premium, consistent with our pre-purchase yield.
· Prepayment Rate Lack of liquidity in the market for PreTSL securities, credit rating downgrades and market uncertainties related to the financial industry are factors contributing to the impairment on these securities. During the early years of PreTSL securities, prepayments were common as issuers were able to refinance into lower cost borrowings. Since the middle of 2007, however, this option has all but disappeared and the Company is operating in an environment which makes early redemption of these instruments unlikely. Accordingly, the Company has assumed zero prepayments when modeling the cash flows of these securities. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis using 1% and 3% prepayment assumptions. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that employing a 1% and a 3% prepayment assumption rather than assuming zero prepayments would have resulted in an additional credit loss of approximately $713 thousand and $929 thousand, respectively, to the $4.0 million impairment charge taken during the first nine months of 2010. Credit losses would increase as a result of an increase in the prepayment assumption because prepayments reduce the amount of excess subordination that would be available to absorb expected losses.
· Credit Analysis A quarterly credit evaluation is performed for each of the securities. While the underlying core component of these securities are the credit characteristics of the underlying issuers, typically banks, other characteristics of the securities and, issuers are evaluated and stressed to determine cash flow. These include but are not limited to the interest rate payable by each issuer, certain derivative contracts, default timing, and interest rate volatility. Issuer level credit considers all evidence available to us and includes the nature of the issuers business, its years of operating history, corporate structure, loan composition, loan concentrations, deposit mix, asset growth rates, geographic footprint and local environment. Depending upon the security, and its place in the capital structure, certain analytical assumptions are isolated with greater scrutiny. The core analysis for each specific issuer focuses on profitability, return on assets, shareholders equity, net interest margin, credit quality ratios, operating efficiency, capital adequacy and liquidity.
The Company has evaluated its PreTSLs considering all available evidence, including information received after the balance sheet date but before the filing date, and determined that the estimated projected cash flows are less than the securities carrying value, resulting in impairment charges to earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Prior to the sale of the Companys PLCMOs in the third quarter of 2010, impairment charges were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $62 thousand.

Investments in FHLB and FRB stock, which have limited marketability, are carried at cost and totaled $12.1 million and $11.8 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Management noted no indicators of impairment for the FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB of Philadelphia at September 30, 2010.
Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. ASC Topic 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflects the Companys assumptions about the assumptions the market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
· Level 1 valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
· Level 2 valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data.
· Level 3 valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.
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.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value, is set forth below.
Cash, Short-term Investments, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities
The estimated fair values of available-for-sale equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges (Level 1 inputs). The estimated fair values for the Companys investments in obligations of U.S. government agencies, obligations of state and political subdivisions, government sponsored agency collateralized mortgage obligations, private label collateralized mortgage obligations, government sponsored agency residential mortgage backed securities, and corporate debt securities are obtained by the Company from a nationally-recognized pricing service. This pricing service develops estimated fair values by analyzing like securities and applying available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs), to prepare valuations. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bonds terms and conditions, among other things and are based on market data obtained from sources independent from the Company. The Level 2 investments in the Companys portfolio are priced using those inputs that, based on the analysis prepared by the pricing service, reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets. The Company has determined that the Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities because, as with most fixed-income securities, those in the Companys portfolio are not exchange-traded, and such non-exchange-traded fixed income securities are typically priced by correlation to observed market data. The Company has reviewed the pricing services methodology to confirm its understanding that such methodology results in a valuation based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted markets for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which the significant assumptions can be corroborated by market data as appropriate to a Level 2 designation.
For those securities for which the inputs used by an independent pricing service were derived from unobservable market information, the Company evaluated the appropriateness and quality of each price. In accordance with the Companys adoption of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820, the Company reviewed the volume and level of activity for all classes of securities and attempted to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume. For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value (fair values based on Level 3 inputs). If applicable, the adjustment to fair value was derived based on present value cash flow model projections prepared by the Company or obtained from third party providers utilizing assumptions similar to those incorporated by market participants. The estimated fair value of the PreTSLs in the Companys securities portfolio are obtained from a third-party service provider that prepared the valuation using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs). The valuation of PreTSLs is further described below and in Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned seven PreTSLs having a book value of $12.3 million. The market for these securities at September 30, 2010 is not active and markets for similar securities are also not active. PreTSLs were historically priced using Level 2 inputs. However, the decline in the level of observable inputs and market activity in this class of investments by the measurement date has been significant and resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, vary widely. The once active market has become comparatively inactive. As such, the valuation of these investments is now determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company obtained the valuations from a third- party service provider that prepared the valuations using a discounted cash flows approach. The Company takes measures to validate the service providers analysis and is actively involved in the valuation process, including reviewing and verifying the assumptions used in the valuation calculations. The difference between the discounted cash flow calculations for the purpose of estimating OTTI credit losses, described in Note 6, and the calculations used for fair value relate only to the discount rate used.
Results of a discounted cash flow test are significantly affected by variables such as the estimate of the probability of default, estimates of future cash flows, discount rates, prepayment rates and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers. Refer to the discussion of these variables in Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements. The Company considers these inputs to be unobservable Level 3 inputs because they are based on the Companys estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing this type of asset and developed based on the best information available in the circumstances rather than on observable inputs. The Company continues to monitor the market for PreTSLs to assess the market activity and the availability of observable inputs and will continue to apply these controls and procedures to the valuations received from its third party service provider for the period it continues to use an outside valuation service. As it relates to fair value measurements, once each issuer is categorized and the forecasted default rates have been applied, the expected cash flows are modeled using the variables described above. The Company then applies a 15% discount rate to PreTSL XIX and PreTSL XXVI and a 20% discount rate for the remaining PreTSLs to the expected cash flows to estimate fair value. There were no significant changes in methodology or inputs used by the Company to estimate fair value for the PreTSLs in 2010.
As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned a state and political subdivision security having a book value of $2.4 million. The security was downgraded by several nationally recognized credit rating agencies. As a result of the downgrade, the market for this security at September 30, 2010 is no longer active. The security was historically priced using Level 2 inputs. The credit downgrade has resulted in decline in the level of significant other observable inputs for this investment security at the measurement date. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads are very limited, the weaker credit rating has resulted in additional price discounts and the absence of a CUSIP limits the amount of information that is available about the credit. As such, the valuation of this investment is now determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company obtained a bid indication from a third party municipal trading desk to determine its fair value.
Loans
For non-impaired loans and non-collateral dependent impaired loans, fair values are estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using market discount rates that reflect the credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. The estimated fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised loan value or other reasonable offers less estimated costs to sell. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for credit losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments are based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. See also Note 4 Loans.
Loans Held For Sale
Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that applies current estimated prepayments derived from the mortgage-backed securities market and utilizes a current market discount rate for observable credit spreads. The Bank does not record mortgage servicing rights at fair value on a recurring basis.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock
Ownership in equity securities of FHLB of Pittsburgh and the FRB is restricted and there is no established market for their resale. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowed funds
The Bank uses discounted cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of off-balance-sheet commitments is insignificant and therefore not included in the table for non-recurring assets and liabilities.
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
The following tables detail the financial asset amounts that are carried at fair value and measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine the fair value (dollars in thousands):

The realized loss of $4.1million, included in earnings, relates to OTTI losses on the Companys PreTSLs out of which $3.1 million had been recorded in unrealized losses in other comprehensive income.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 a security issued by a state and political subdivision obligation the Company held in its securities available-for-sale portfolio was downgraded by several nationally recognized credit rating agencies. The Company is no longer able to value the instrument based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data. Therefore, the Company transferred the instrument to Level 3.

(1) Represents carrying value and related write-downs for which adjustments are based on appraised value. Management makes adjustments to the appraised values as necessary to consider declines in real estate values since the time of the appraisal. Such adjustments are based on managements knowledge of the local real estate markets.
Collateral dependent impaired loans are classified as Level 3 assets and the estimated fair value of the collateral is based on the appraised loan value or other reasonable offers less estimated costs to sell. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance or is charged-off. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of any charge-offs and the related allowance for loan losses.
Other real estate owned properties are recorded at the fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, the balance might be written down further. It is the Companys policy to obtain certified external appraisals of real estate collateral underlying impaired loans, including OREO, and it estimates fair value using those appraisals. Other valuation sources may be used, including broker price opinions, letters of intent and executed sale agreements. The amounts in the table above represent OREO as of September 30, 2010.
The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Statement of Financial Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, management judgment is required to interpret data and develop fair value estimates. Accordingly, the estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments (in thousands) are as follows:

Note 8. Earnings per Share
For the Company, the numerator of both the basic and diluted earnings per common share is net income available to common shareholders (which is equal to net income less dividends on preferred stock and related discount accretion). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the denominator for basic earnings per common share is increased to determine the denominator used for diluted earnings per common share by the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. For the Company, common share equivalents are outstanding stock options to purchase the Companys common shares.
The following table shows the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except share amounts):

Common share equivalents, in the table above, exclude stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Companys common shares during the periods presented. Inclusion of these stock options would be anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per common share calculation. Antidilutive stock options equaled approximately 232,527 and 297,361 as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Earnings per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The shares in the denominator were 16,383,848 and 16,197,941 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The shares in the denominator were 16,328,598 and 16,140,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares for stock options outstanding. The shares in the denominator were 16,383,848 and 16,585,125 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The shares in the denominator were 16,328,598 and 16,534,226 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The calculation for basic earnings per common share is the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares for stock options outstanding.
Note 9. Related Party Transactions
The Company and the Bank have engaged in and intend to continue to engage in banking and financial transactions in the conduct of its business with directors and the executive officers of the Company and the Bank and their related parties.
The Bank has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to directors, executive officers and their related parties. The following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of such outstanding loans, advances under lines of credit as well as repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

*Other represents reductions due to resignations.
At September 30, 2010, there were no loans to directors, executive officers and their related parties which were not performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements. Also, as of September 30, 2010, loans in the amount of $12.4 million to directors, executive officers and their related parties were categorized as criticized loans within the Banks risk rating system, meaning they are considered to present a higher risk of collection than other loans.
Included in related party loans is a $5.1 million commercial line of credit to a company owned by a director. The Company also sold a participation interest in this note to the same director in the amount of $4 million. The Bank receives a 25 basis point annual servicing fee from this director on the participation balance.

The Company leases its Honesdale branch from a related party. The lease was made on market terms in the ordinary course of business. Total lease payments were $6.8 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Note 10. Stock Option Plans
On August 30, 2000, the Companys Board adopted the 2000 Employee Stock Incentive Plan in which options may be granted to key officers and other employees of the Company. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of the options under the plan cannot exceed 1,100,000 shares. Options and rights granted under the plan become exercisable six months after the date the options are awarded and expire ten years after the award date. Upon exercise, the shares are issued from the Companys authorized but unissued stock. The plan expired on August 30, 2010.
The Board also adopted on August 30, 2000, the 2000 Independent Directors Stock Option Plan for directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan cannot exceed 550,000 shares and are exercisable six months from the date the awards are granted and expire three years after the award date. Upon exercise, the shares are issued from the Companys authorized but unissued shares. There was no compensation expense related to option plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The plan expired on August 30, 2010.
In accordance with current accounting guidance, all options are charged against income at their fair value. Awards granted under the plans vest immediately and the entire expense of the award is recognized in the year of grant.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model average assumptions:

Background
The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation, incorporated in 1997 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company became an active bank holding company on July 1, 1998 when it acquired ownership of First National Community Bank (the Bank). The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Companys primary activity consists of owning and operating the Bank, which provides customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals and businesses. The Bank provides practically all of the Companys earnings as a result of its banking services.
The Bank was established as a national banking association in 1910 as The First National Bank of Dunmore. The Bank changed its name to First National Community Bank effective March 1, 1988. The Banks operations are conducted from 21 offices located in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania. The Bank offers many traditional banking services to its customers.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the words we, us, our and the Company are used to refer to First National Community Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The Companys accounting policies are fundamental to understanding managements discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. Management has identified the policies on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL), securities valuation, goodwill and other intangible assets and income taxes to be critical as management is required to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
The judgments used by management in applying the critical accounting policies discussed below may be affected by a further and prolonged deterioration in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results. Specifically, subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ALLL in future periods, and the inability to collect on outstanding loans could result in increased loan losses. In addition, the valuation of certain securities in the Companys investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by illiquidity or dislocation in marketplaces resulting in significantly depressed market prices thus leading to further impairment losses.
In connection with regulatory reviews of the Companys operations, financial statements and SEC filings, the Company determined that certain of its accounting and reporting policies did not conform to U.S. GAAP and were not being applied properly or should otherwise be revised. As a result, the Company amended and restated its consolidated financial statements for the annual period ended December 31, 2009 and filed an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A with the SEC on December 2, 2011 (the Amended Report). In connection with such restatement and amendment, during 2009 and as reflected in the Amended Report, the Company made changes to its accounting and reporting policies, which are also reflected in this quarterly report. See Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies in the Amended Report.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The ALLL is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings, and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. Loans are charged against the ALLL when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL.
The ALLL represents managements estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Various banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of the Company, also review the ALLL. Such regulators may require, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. Additionally, the ALLL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio.
The ALLL consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted by qualitative factors. The Company changed its policy for determining the ALLL effective for 2009. The general reserve component of the ALLL, previously based on one aggregated pool of unimpaired loans, was increased after assigning these loans to one of three pools of Pass, Special Mention or Accruing and Substandard and applying historical loss factors and varied qualitative factor basis point allocations based on the risk profile in each pool to determine the appropriate reserve related to those loans. The general reserve component of the ALLL also increased because of higher historical loss experience resulting from the increased loan charge-offs of impaired loans.
See Note 4 of these consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about the ALLL.
Securities Valuation
Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair value of its investment portfolio. To the extent they exist, unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets (level 1) or quoted prices on similar assets or models using inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly (level 2) are utilized to determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In the absence of observable inputs or if markets are illiquid, valuation techniques would be used to determine fair value of any investments that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (level 3). For level 3 inputs, valuation techniques are based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to cash flows, discount rates, rate of return, adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation values. A significant degree of judgment is involved in valuing investments using level 3 inputs. The use of different assumptions could have a positive or negative effect on consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See Notes 6 and 7 of these consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for more information about our securities valuation techniques.
Management must periodically evaluate if unrealized losses (as determined based on the securities valuation methodologies discussed above) on individual securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale in the investment portfolio are considered to be OTTI. The analysis of OTTI requires the use of various assumptions, including, but not limited to, the length of time an investments fair value is less than book value, the severity of the investments decline, any credit deterioration of the issuer, whether management intends to sell the security, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. Debt investment securities deemed to be OTTI are written down by the impairment related to the estimated credit loss and the non-credit related impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company recognized OTTI charges on securities of $4.1 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, within the consolidated statements of operations. For 2010, the OTTI charges relate mainly to estimated credit losses on pooled trust preferred securities. See Note 6 Securities of these consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 herein for additional information about our OTTI charges.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO) consists of property acquired by foreclosure or deed in-lieu of foreclosure, that is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, which establishes a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. At the date OREO is acquired, any write-down to fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the ALLL. This determination is made on an individual asset basis. Fair value is determined through external appraisals, current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the OREO properties may be capitalized; holding period costs and subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense.
Goodwill Impairment
The Company records all assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangible assets, at fair value as of the acquisition date, and expenses all acquisition related costs as incurred as required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment or more often if events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are subject to impairment tests if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial recording of goodwill and other intangible assets requires subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets.
On an annual basis, the Company evaluates whether circumstances are present that would indicate potential impairment of its goodwill. These circumstances include the trading value of the Companys common shares relative to its book value, adverse changes in the business or legal climate, actions by regulators, or loss of key personnel. When the Company determines that these or other circumstances are present, the Company tests the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at an interim date.
The goodwill impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an additional procedure must be performed.
In the second step, the Company calculates the implied value of goodwill by simulating a business combination for each reporting unit. This step subtracts the estimated fair value of net assets in the reporting unit from the step one estimated fair value to determine the implied value of goodwill. If the implied value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired, but if the implied value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to the reporting
unit, a goodwill impairment charge for the difference is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding reduction to goodwill on the consolidated statement of financial condition.
In performing its evaluation of goodwill impairment, the Company makes significant judgments, particularly with respect to estimating the fair value of each reporting unit and if the second step test is required, estimating the fair value of net assets. The Company utilizes a third-party specialist who assists with valuation techniques to evaluate each reporting unit and estimate a fair value as though it were an acquirer. The estimate utilizes historical data, cash flows, and market and industry data. Industry and market data is used to develop material assumptions such as transaction multiples, required rates of return, control premiums, transaction costs and synergies of a transaction, and capitalization.
Income Taxes
The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entitys financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
We record income tax provision or benefit based on the amount of tax currently payable or receivable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We conduct quarterly assessments of all available evidence to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized. The available evidence used in connection with these assessments includes taxable income in current and prior periods, cumulative losses in prior periods, projected future taxable income, potential tax-planning strategies, and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. These assessments involve a certain degree of subjectivity which may change significantly depending on the related circumstances.
In connection with determining our income tax provision or benefit, the Company considers maintaining liabilities for uncertain tax positions and tax strategies that management believes contain an element of uncertainty. Periodically, the Company evaluates each of our tax positions and strategies to determine whether a liability for uncertain tax benefits is required. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions or tax strategies and no liability was required to be recorded.
New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, (i) enhances reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets, (ii) eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and (iii) requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 860 was effective on January 1, 2010. This pronouncement did not have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities, amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. ASU No. 2009-17 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entitys involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its effect on the entitys financial statements. The provisions of ASU No. 2009-17 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements, requires new disclosures and clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. Specifically, the update requires an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for such transfers. A reporting entity is required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using Level 3 inputs. In addition, the update clarifies the following requirements of the existing disclosures: (i) for the purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets; and (ii) a reporting entity is required to include disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments were effective for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
Standards to be Adopted In Future Periods
Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 under ASC 350 details when to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. Under Topic 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310) - Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, requires significant new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The objective of these disclosures is to improve financial statement users understanding of (i) the nature of an entitys credit risk associated with its financing receivables and (ii) the entitys assessment of that risk in estimating its allowance for credit losses as well as changes in the allowance and the reasons for those changes. The disclosures should be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolios risk and performance. The required disclosures include, among other things, a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU No. 2010-20 disclosures related to period-end information (e.g., credit-quality information and the ending financing receivables balance segregated by impairment method) were required in all interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Disclosures of activity that occurs during a reporting period (e.g., the roll forward of the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment) will be required in interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310) - Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, was issued in January 2011 and postpones the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. The new effective date for disclosures about troubled debt restructurings was aligned with the finalization of the effective date of the exposure drafts Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, which is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (ASU 2011-02), an update to ASC Topic 310- Receivables. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance in evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. In order to meet the requirements for a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and also clarify the guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, an update to ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 include clarifications about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes to principles for measuring fair value. ASU 2011-04 also requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is required to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2011-04 on the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, -Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), an update to ASC Topic 220 - Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting. The amendment provides the entity an option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-05 is an update only for presentation and as such will not impact the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of this Update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entitys recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.
Executive Summary
The following overview should be read in conjunction with our MD&A in its entirety.
The Company recorded a net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 of $11.8 million, or ($0.72) per diluted common share, an increase in the amount of net loss of $5.6 million compared to a net loss of $6.2 million or ($0.37) per diluted common share, that was reported for the same period in the prior year. The net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $17.9 million or ($1.09) per diluted common share, an increase in the amount of net loss of $12.7 million compared to a loss of $5.2 million or ($0.31) per diluted common share for the same period in the prior year.
The $5.6 million increase in the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, was largely due to a $2.3 million decrease in total interest income, a $2.8 million increase in net loss on the sale of securities, and a $1.4 million increase in expense of other real estate, offset by $1.2 million decrease in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings. The $12.7 million increase in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was largely due to a $5.9 million decrease in total interest income, a $2.5 million increase in net loss on the sale of securities, a $2.7 million increase in expense of other real estate and by $1.3 million increase in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings. The return on average equity was (19.0%) and (28.0%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to (6.5%) and (5.3%) for the same periods in the prior year. Return on average assets was (0.90%) and (1.34%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to (0.46%) and (0.39%) for the same periods in the prior year.
Total assets were $1.31 billion, at September 30, 2010, which is a decrease of $58.2 million, or 4.3%, from $1.37 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a $136.9 million, or 17.5% decline in net loans and a $4.9 million, or 22.7% decrease in other assets.
Total liabilities were $1.25 billion at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $50.0 million, or 3.8%, from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in total deposits and borrowed funds. Deposit liabilities decreased $18 million, or 1.7%, primarily as a result of a $61 million, or 11% decrease in time deposits partially offset by a $34 million, or 9.6% increase in interest-bearing demand deposits and a $7 million, or 8.4% increase in savings deposits. Borrowed funds decreased $31 million, or 14.3% as the Company used the proceeds generated by net loan repayments from its customers to repay its borrowings.
Total shareholders equity decreased $8.2 million, or 13.0%, to $54.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $63.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to the net loss of $17.9 million, partially offset by a $9.1 million reduction in other comprehensive loss from $12.3 million as of December 31, 2009 to $3.2 million as of September 30, 2010. The decrease in other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to the increase in the fair value of securities held in the available for sale portfolio. Book value per common share was $3.34 at September 30, 2010 compared to $3.87 at December 31, 2009.
Summary of Performance
Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $1.4 million and $4.3 million and totaled $9.2 million and $29.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $10.6 million and $33.4 million for the comparable period in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, average interest-earning assets decreased (0.6%) to $1.23 billion from $1.24 billion, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 2.9% to $1.18 billion from $1.14 billion. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 58 and 60 basis points, respectively, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities declined 45 and 24 basis points when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. As a result of the decline in the yield on interest-earning assets exceeding that of the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, the net interest margin decreased by 34 and 44 basis points, respectively, to 3.0% and 3.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 3.4% and 3.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
Interest income on loans on a tax equivalent basis decreased $1.8 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively compared to 2009 as a result of a 29 basis point and 29 basis point decline, respectively, in the tax equivalent yield and a decrease in average loan balances of $84.4 million and $62.9 million, respectively. The decrease in yield was caused by payoffs of higher yielding loans which cannot be replaced in this low interest rate environment and lower loan demand caused by the continuing economic slowdown.
Interest and dividend income on a tax equivalent basis for investment securities decreased by $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 2009 primarily due to the reinvestment of pay downs and maturities into more liquid, lower yielding assets.
Average federal funds sold increased by $21.7 million and $34.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. The increase in the average balance of federal funds sold was attributable to the Company not being able to sufficiently re-deploy its excess liquidity into loans and investment securities that met the Companys quality, return and duration requirements.
Interest expense decreased $0.9 million and $1.5 million, or 14.4% and 8.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease was driven by a 45 basis point and 24 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of 1.1% and 2.9%, respectively, to $1.16 billion and $1.17 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 2009. The rate decreases in interest-bearing liabilities was driven primarily by pricing decreases from money markets and time deposits, which are sensitive to interest rate changes.
The net interest margin on average interest earning assets on a tax equivalent basis was 3.0% and 3.2% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, a reduction of 34 basis points and 43 basis points, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009.
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following tables set forth certain information relating to our consolidated statements of financial condition and operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and reflect the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

(1) Changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to changes due to volume and changes due to rate.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
A provision for loan and lease losses of $7.3 million and $17.0 million was recorded for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $11.1 million and $20.8 million for the same periods in the prior year. The decrease of $3.8 million for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 from the same periods in the prior year is a result of the reduction in gross loans and a reduction in the number and balances of loans newly classified as impaired and/or non-performing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, non-performing loans increased $11.5 million to $37.5 million from $26.0 million at December 31, 2009. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $13.8 million. Non-performing loans primarily consist of loans secured by real estate. Management closely monitors the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the ALLL considering underlying borrower financial performance and collateral values and increasing credit risks. Future material adjustments may be necessary to the provision for credit losses and the ALLL if economic conditions or loan performance differ substantially from the assumptions management used in making its evaluation of the ALLL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.
Non-interest Income (Loss)
Non-interest loss was $2.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to a loss of $0.6 million and income of $3.5 million for the comparable periods in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the $1.6 million increased loss was primarily due to a $2.9 million loss recognized from the sale of securities offset by a $1.2 million reduction in OTTI charges on PreTSLs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the $3.9 million reduction from the comparable period in 2009 was a result of a $1.3 million increase in OTTI credit losses and a $2.5 million difference in the gain/losses on sales of securities with a $1.7 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to a $0.8 million gain in the comparable period in 2009.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $10.5 million and $26.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $8.0 million and $22.1 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the $2.5 million increase was primarily due to an increase in foreclosure and other real estate owned expense of $1.4 million, increased professional fees and legal expenses related to regulatory compliance of $0.4 million, and all other
operating expenses of $0.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the $4.4 million increase was primarily due to increased foreclosure and other real estate owned expense of $2.7 million, increased professional fees and legal expenses related to regulatory compliance of $0.9 million, and all other operating expenses of $0.80 million.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company anticipates that it will have a minimal tax provision or benefit until such time as it is able to reverse the deferred tax asset valuation allowance that it recorded in 2009, and accordingly did not record a provision or benefit during the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2010.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets
Total assets were $1.31 billion, at September 30, 2010, which is a decrease of $58.2 million, or 4.3%, from $1.37 billion at December 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to a $136.9 million, or 14.9% decline in net loans, a $60.3 million, or 69.8% increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a $27.2 million, or 10.7% increase in available-for-sale securities.
Securities
The Company holds debt securities primarily for liquidity, interest rate risk management needs and to provide a source of interest income. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. The decision to purchase or sell securities is based upon the current assessment of long and short-term economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment and other statement of financial condition components. Securities with limited marketability and/or restrictions, such as Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stocks, are carried at cost. Federal Reserve Bank stock is carried in other assets.
At September 30, 2010, the Companys investment portfolio was comprised of U.S Government agency securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions, government sponsored agency collateralized mortgage obligations, residential mortgage-backed securities, pooled trust preferred securities (PreTSLs) principally collateralized by bank holding companies (bank issuers) and insurance companies, corporate debt and equity securities. The Company sold its entire portfolio of private label collateralized mortgage obligations (PLCMOs) during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Among other securities, the Companys investments in PreTSLs may pose a higher risk of future impairment charges by the Company as a result of the current downturn in the U.S. economy and its potential negative effect on the future performance of the bank issuers. Many of the bank issuers of the PreTSLs within the Companys investment portfolio remain participants in the U.S. Treasurys TARP CPP. For TARP participants, dividend payments to trust preferred security holders are currently senior to and payable before dividends can be paid on the preferred stock issued under the TARP CPP. Some bank issuers may elect to defer future payments of interest on such securities either based upon recommendations by the U.S. Treasury and the banking regulators or management decisions driven by potential liquidity needs. Such elections by issuers of securities within our investment portfolio could adversely affect securities valuations and result in future impairment charges if collection of deferred and accrued interest (or principal upon maturity) is deemed unlikely by management. See Critical Accounting Policies Securities Valuation as well as the Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment section below for further details.

During 2010 the Company sold its entire portfolio of PLCMOs to better manage and improve credit risk in its investment portfolio. The Company used proceeds from these sales and cash provided by operations to purchase U.S. Government guaranteed and U.S. Government agency sponsored mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, there were no single issuers with an aggregate book value which exceeded ten per cent (10%) of total shareholders equity.
The following table sets forth the maturities of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities, based on book value, at September 30, 2010 (in thousands) and the weighted average yields of such securities calculated on the basis of the cost and effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI)
The Company tests its securities for OTTI using the guidance provided in ASC Topic 320, InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities. Under this guidance, if management has no intent to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, then other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of the debt security that are related to credit losses must be recognized in earnings as realized losses and those that are related to other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income. Numerous factors, including lack of liquidity for re-sales of certain investment securities, absence of reliable pricing information for investment securities, adverse changes in business climate, adverse actions by regulators, or unanticipated changes in the competitive environment could have a negative effect on our investment portfolio and may result in OTTI on the Companys investment securities in future periods.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its investment securities for OTTI. Unrealized losses on securities are considered to be other-than-temporarily-impaired when the Company believes the securitys impairment is due to factors that could include the issuers inability to pay interest or dividends, the potential for default, and/or other factors. When a held to maturity or available for sale debt security is assessed for OTTI, the Company must first consider (a) whether management intends to sell the security and (b) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. If one of these circumstances applies to a security, an OTTI loss is recognized in the statement of operations equal to the full amount of the decline in fair value below amortized cost. If neither of these circumstances applies to a security, but the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, an OTTI loss has occurred that must be separated into two categories: (a) the amount related to credit loss, and (b) the amount related to other factors such as market risk. In assessing the level of OTTI attributable to credit loss, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected with the amortized cost basis of the security. As discussed above, the portion of the total OTTI related to credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the amount related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The total OTTI loss is presented in the statement of operations, less the portion recognized in other comprehensive income. When a debt security becomes other than temporarily impaired, its amortized cost basis is reduced to reflect the portion of the total impairment related to credit loss.
To determine whether a securitys impairment is other than temporary, management considers factors that include:
· |
|
the causes of the decline in fair value, such as credit problems, interest rate fluctuations, or market volatility; |
|
|
|
· |
|
the severity and duration of the decline; |
|
|
|
· |
|
the Companys ability and intent to hold equity security investments until they recover in value, as well as the likelihood of such a recovery in the near term; |
|
|
|
· |
|
the Companys intent to sell security investments, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their individual amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss; |
For debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell, or will not be required to sell, the primary consideration in determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary is whether or not the Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows.
Based on the Companys evaluation at September 30, 2010, the Company has determined that the decreases in estimated fair value of the securities it holds in its portfolio are temporary with the exception of seven PreTSLs. The Companys estimate of projected discounted cash flows it expects to receive was less than the securities carrying value, resulting in a credit-related impairment charge to earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.2 and $4.1 million, respectively. The $4.1 million charge consisted of $4.0 million and $0.1 million in credit-related impairments on its PreTSLs and PLCMOs, respectively. The Company sold its entire holding in PLCMOs during the third quarter of 2010.
OTTI of Pooled Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations:
As of September 30, 2010, the book value of the Companys PreTSLs totaled $12.3 million with an estimated fair value of $2.8 million and is comprised of seven securities each of which is collateralized by debt issued by bank holding companies and insurance companies. The Company holds one senior tranche and six mezzanine tranches and the mezzanine tranches all possess credit ratings below investment grade. During 2010, all of the pooled issues were downgraded further by either Moodys or Fitch ratings services. At the time of initial issue, no more than 5% of any pooled security consisted of a security issued by any one institution. As of
September 30, 2010, six of these securities had no excess subordination and one had excess subordination equal to 8.7% of the current performing collateral. Excess subordination is the amount by which the underlying performing collateral exceeds the outstanding bonds in the current class plus all senior classes. It can also be referred to as credit enhancement. As deferrals and defaults of underlying issuers occur, the excess subordination is reduced or eliminated, increasing the risk of the security experiencing principal or interest shortfalls. Conversely, subordination can be increased as collateral transitions from non-performing to performing. The coverage ratio, or overcollateralization, of a specific security measures the rate of performing collateral to a given class of notes. It is calculated by dividing the performing collateral in a transaction by the current balance of the class of notes plus all classes senior to that class.

The Companys PreTSLs are evaluated for OTTI within the scope of ASC Topic 325 by determining whether an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. The Company uses a third-party service provider to perform this analysis. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected involves comparing the present value of remaining cash flows previously projected against the present value of the cash flows estimated at September 30, 2010. The Company considers the discounted cash flow analysis to be our primary evidence when determining whether credit related OTTI exists.
Results of a discounted cash flow test are significantly affected by variables such as the estimate of the probability of default, discount rates, prepayment rates and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers. The following provides additional information for each of these variables:
· Probability of Default An issuer level approach is used to analyze each security and default and recovery assumptions are based on the credit quality of the underlying issuers (generally, bank holding companies or insurance companies). Each bank issuer is evaluated based upon an examination of the trends in its earnings, net interest margin, operating efficiency, liquidity, capital position, level of nonperforming loans to total loans, apparent sufficiency of loan loss reserves, Texas ratio and whether the bank received TARP monies. From this information, each issuer bank that is currently performing is assigned a category of Good, Average, Weak, or Troubled. Default rates are then assigned based upon the historical performance of each category. Additionally, because the information available to the Company regarding the underlying insurance company issuers is more limited than for bank issuers, rather than performing an analysis of each issuers results and assigning insurance company issuers to these same categories, the Company uses
the Moodys one year long-term default rate assumption for insurance companies. The historical default rates used in this analysis are:

Each issuer in the collateral pool is assigned a probability of default for each year until maturity. Banks currently in default or deferring interest payments thus far are assumed to default immediately. A zero percent projected recovery rate is applied to both deferring and defaulted issuers. The probability of default is updated quarterly based upon changes in the creditworthiness of each underlying issuer. Timing of defaults and deferrals has a substantial impact on each valuation. As a result of this analysis, each issuer is assigned an expected default rate specific to that issuer.
· Estimates of Future Cash Flows While understanding the composition and characteristics of each bank issuer is important in evaluating the security, certain issuers have a disproportionate impact (both positive and negative) based upon other attributes, such as the interest rate payable by each issuer. Each credit is assessed independently, and the timing and nature of each issuers performance is assessed. Once assessed, the expected performance of each issuer is applied to a structural cash flow model. Due to the complexity of these transactions, the expected performance of each unique issuer requires an adherence to the governing documents of the securitization to derive a cash flow. A model produced by a third party is utilized to assist in determining cash flows. Utilization of third party cash flow modeling to derive cash flows from assumptions is a market convention for these types of securities.
· Discount Rate The Company is discounting projected cash flows based upon its discount margin defined at the time of purchase, which constitutes a spread over 3-month LIBOR plus credit premium, consistent with our pre-purchase yield.
· Prepayment Rate Lack of liquidity in the market for PreTSL securities, credit rating downgrades and market uncertainties related to the financial industry are factors contributing to the impairment on these securities. During the early years of PreTSL securities, prepayments were common as issuers were able to refinance into lower cost borrowings. Since the middle of 2007, however, this option has all but disappeared and the Company is operating in an environment which makes early redemption of these instruments unlikely. Accordingly, the Company has assumed zero prepayments when modeling the cash flows of these securities. The Company will reevaluate its prepayment assumptions from time to time as appropriate. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis using 1% and 3% prepayment assumptions. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that employing a 1% and a 3% prepayment assumption rather than assuming zero prepayments would have resulted in an additional credit loss of approximately $713 thousand and $929 thousand, respectively, to the $4.0 million impairment charge taken during the first nine months of 2010. Credit losses would increase as a result of an increase in the prepayment assumption because prepayments reduce the amount of excess subordination that would be available to absorb expected losses.
· Credit Analysis A quarterly credit evaluation is performed for each of the securities. While the underlying core component of these securities are the credit characteristics of the underlying issuers, typically banks, other characteristics of the securities and, issuers are evaluated and stressed to determine cash flow. These include but are not limited to the interest rate payable by each issuer, certain derivative contracts, default timing, and interest rate volatility. Issuer level credit considers all evidence available to us and includes the nature of the issuers business, its years of operating history, corporate structure, loan composition, loan concentrations, deposit mix, asset growth rates, geographic footprint and local environment. Depending upon the security, and its place in the capital structure, certain analytical assumptions are isolated with greater scrutiny. The core analysis for each specific issuer focuses on profitability, return on assets, shareholders equity, net interest margin, credit quality ratios, operating efficiency, capital adequacy and liquidity.
The Company has evaluated its PreTSLs considering all available evidence, including information received after the balance sheet date but before the filing date, and determined that the estimated projected cash flows are less than the securities carrying value, resulting in impairment charges to earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1.2 million and $4.1 million,
respectively. Prior to the sale of the Companys PLCMOs in the third quarter of 2010, impairment charges were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $62 thousand.

Investments in FHLB and FRB stock, which have limited marketability, are carried at cost and totaled $12.1 million and $11.8 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Management noted no indicators of impairment for the FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB of Philadelphia at September 30, 2010.
Loans
The net loan balance declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of payoffs, loan sales, charge-offs and transfers to OREO. Net loans declined $136.9 million, or 19.8%, to $780.6 million as of September 30, 2010 from $917.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Net loans represented 59.7% of total assets as of September 30, 2010, compared to 67.2% as of December 31, 2009. Historically, commercial lending activities have represented a significant portion of the Companys loan portfolio. This includes commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and construction, land acquisition and development loans. Furthermore, from a collateral standpoint, a majority of the Companys loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by real estate. Real estate secured loans, which includes commercial real estate, commercial land acquisition and development, and residential real estate, declined by $63.5 million, or 12.3% to $454.7 million as of September 30, 2010, from $518.2 million as of December 31, 2009.
Commercial and industrial loans totaled $196.6 million as of September 30, 2010, a decrease of $23.3 million, or 10.6%, from $219.9 million as of December 31, 2009. Commercial and industrial loans consist primarily of equipment loans, working capital financing, revolving lines of credit and loans secured by cash and marketable securities. The decrease was primarily a reduction in borrowings under revolving line of credit facilities within the portfolio. Loans secured by commercial real estate totaled $303.5 million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $17.8 million, or 5.5%, from $321.3 million as of December 31, 2009. Commercial real estate loans include long-term commercial mortgage financing and are primarily secured by first or second lien mortgages. The decrease in commercial real estate loans is primarily attributable to payoffs, along with significant charge-offs and transfers to OREO. Construction, land acquisition and development loans totaled $59.0 million as of September 30, 2010, a decrease of $39.3 million, or 40.0%, during the year from $98.3 million as of December 31, 2009. The decrease in construction, land acquisition and development loans is primarily attributable to charge-offs, transfers to OREO, and a decrease in lending.
Residential real estate loans totaled $92.1 million as of September 30, 2010. This represents a decrease of $6.4 million, or 6.5%, from $98.5 million as of December 31, 2009. The components of residential real estate loans include fixed rate mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. The Company continues to adhere to a philosophy of underwriting fixed rate purchase and refinance residential mortgage loans that are generally then sold in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and provide funding for additional loans.
Consumer loans decreased $50.8 million during the year, or 30.8%, from $164.7 million as of December 31, 2009 to $113.9 million as of September 30, 2010. In 2010, the Company sold $36.7 million in loans from the Companys indirect auto loan portfolio.
Loans to states and municipal governments totaled $40.5 million as of September 30, 2010, an increase of $3.7 million, or 24.6%, from $36.8 million as of December 31, 2009. During 2010, the Company wrote five new loans to state and municipal governments with net principal balances totaling $6.8 million. This increase was offset somewhat by the repayment of loans because state and municipal governments were able to refinance their outstanding obligations elsewhere with lower-cost funding.

Asset Quality
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by the ALLL. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.
The Company manages credit risk through the efforts of loan officers, the loan review function, and the Loan Quality and the ALLL management committees as well as oversight from the board of directors, along with the application of policies and procedures designed to foster sound underwriting and credit monitoring practices. The Company continually evaluates this process to ensure it is reacting to problems in the loan portfolio in a timely manner. Although, as is the case with any financial institution, a certain degree of credit risk is dependent in part on local and general economic conditions that are beyond the Companys control.
Under the Companys risk rating system, loans rated pass/watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss are reviewed regularly as part of the Companys risk management practices. The Companys Loan Quality Committee, which consists of key members of senior management and credit administration, meets monthly or more often, as necessary, to review individual problem credits and workout strategies and makes reports to the Board of Directors.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (including principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the note and loan agreement. For purposes of the Companys analysis, loans which are identified as troubled debt restructures (TDRs) or are non-accrual and substandard or doubtful loans are considered impaired. Impaired loans are analyzed individually for the amount of impairment. The Company generally utilizes the fair value of collateral method for collateral dependent loans, which make up the majority of the Companys impaired loans. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is anticipated to come from the liquidation of the collateral held. For loans that are secured by real estate, external appraisals are obtained annually, or more frequently as warranted, to ascertain their fair value so that the impairment analysis can be updated. Should a current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other sources of valuation such as current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale may be used. For non-collateral dependent loans, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, net of disposal costs, discounted at the loans original effective interest rate.
Loans to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty that are modified and result in the Company granting concessions to the borrower are classified as TDRs and are considered to be impaired. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve an extension of a loans stated maturity date or a reduction of the rate, or payment modifications. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six consecutive months after modification.
Non-performing loans are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Companys loan review process. Additionally, work-out efforts continue and are actively monitored for non-performing loans and OREO through the Loan Quality Committee. Potential loss on non-performing assets is generally evaluated by comparing the outstanding loan balance to the fair market value of the pledged collateral.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. This is generally when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection, or when management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that the loan would default before 90 days. The Company determines delinquency status based on the number of days since the date of the borrowers last required contractual loan payment. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid interest income is reversed and charged back against current earnings. Any cash payments received are applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of lost interest. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured and are current for six consecutive months after modification.
Management actively manages impaired loans in an effort to reduce loan balances by working with customers to develop strategies to resolve borrower difficulties, through sale or liquidation of collateral, foreclosure, and other appropriate means. If real estate values continue to decline, it is more likely that we would be required to further increase our provision for loan and lease losses, which in turn, could result in reduced earnings.
Under the fair value of collateral method, the impaired amount of the loan is deemed to be the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell. For the Companys calculations on real estate secured loans, a factor of 10% is generally utilized to estimate costs to sell, which is based on typical cost factors, such as a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. If the valuation indicates that the fair value has deteriorated below the carrying value of the loan, either the entire loan is written off or the difference between the fair value and the principal balance is charged off. For loans which are considered to be impaired, but for which the value of the collateral less costs to sell exceeds the loan value, the impairment is considered to be zero.

In the nine months ended September 31, 2010, total non-performing loans and OREO increased $11.5 million, or 31%, from $37.2 million as of December 31, 2009 to $48.7 million as of September 30, 2010, as the effects of the severe and prolonged economic downturn continued to impact individual and business customers of the Company. Non-performing loans and OREO represented 88.7% of shareholders equity as of September 30, 2010, as compared to 58.9% of shareholders equity as of December 31, 2009. The increase in non-performing loans and OREO as a percentage of shareholders equity is driven primarily by the reduction of the Companys equity as a result of the $17.9 million net loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Included in non-performing assets are nonaccrual loans which increased $11.6 million during the period. The increase in nonaccrual loans is primarily centered in commercial and industrial loans, along with commercial real estate loans. A further deterioration in economic conditions could lead to additional increases in impaired loans.
The additional interest income that would have been earned on nonaccrual and restructured loans outstanding at September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 in accordance with their original terms approximated $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
The Company has historically participated in loans with other financial institutions, the majority of which have been loans originated by financial institutions located in the Companys general market area. Over the past seven years, the Company has participated in seven (7) commercial real estate loans with a financial institution that was headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The majority of these loans were for out of market commercial real estate projects. Two (2) projects were located in Pennsylvania, one (1) project was located in New York and the remaining four (4) projects were located in Florida. The Companys original aggregate commitment for these various loans totaled approximately $34 million. Two of these loans, one local Pennsylvania project and the New York project, have been paid in full. The remaining Pennsylvania loan continues to pay as agreed but is rated as Substandard. The Company did not recognize any charge-offs on the Florida credits during 2010. However, the Company did write down the two Florida properties held in OREO by a combined $897 thousand during 2010. During 2009, the Company recognized charge offs in excess of $11.3 million against the four Florida credits. This amount represents 40% of the Companys total charge offs that were recognized in fiscal 2009. The remaining outstanding balance under these Florida participations totals $6.4 million. These credits are all classified as either non-performing or as OREO. All of these credits have been written down to the current fair market value of each respective property.
Reclassifications of performing loans to non-accrual during the first nine months of 2010 primarily consisted of seven (7) large credits totaling $21.5 million. These credits were:
· $6.8 million This credit represents various time loans secured by land; this credit was written down to $5.9 million as of September 30, 2010. Additionally, $1.1 million of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $2.2 million This credit represents the non-sold portion of a government guaranteed loan secured by commercial real estate; this credit was written down to $1.1 million as of September 30, 2010. Additionally, $109 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $2.1 million This credit represents a time loan secured by residential and commercial real estate; this credit was written down to $1.6 million as of September 30, 2010. Additionally, $316 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $2.2 million This credit represents a term loan and line of credit secured by commercial real estate; this credit was written down to $1.8 million as of September 30, 2010. Additionally, $180 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $3.9 million This credit represents various term loans secured by commercial real estate. $695 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit. Furthermore, this credit represents a troubled debt restructuring.
· $2.8 million This credit represents various term loans secured by land. $350 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $1.5 million This credit represents mortgage loans secured by residential real estate. $861 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
In addition, the seven credits reclassified during 2010, together with five credits reclassified in prior years, constituted 81% of total non-performing loans as of September 30, 2010. The five credits reclassified prior to 2010 were:
· $4.8 million This credit represents a land development loan secured by a residential subdivision located outside of the Companys general market area; this credit was written down to $3.3 million as of September 30, 2010. Additionally, $310 thousand of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to this credit.
· $11.1 million This credit represents a land development loan secured by a residential subdivision. This credit was written down to $3 million as of September 30, 2010. Due to sufficient collateral value, no allocation is provided for this credit in the allowance for loan losses.
· $2.5 million This credit represents a participation in an out of area real estate bridge loan made to a non-Bank related customer, secured by real estate. Due to sufficient collateral value, no allocation is provided for this credit in the allowance for loan losses.
· $1.2 million This credit represents a commercial mortgage loan secured by commercial real estate. Due to sufficient collateral value, no allocation is provided for this credit in the allowance for loan losses.
· $1.7 million This credit represents a participation in an out of area real estate bridge loan made to a non-Bank related customer, secured by real estate. Due to sufficient collateral value, no allocation is provided for this credit in the allowance for loan losses.

Delinquencies for accruing loans remained relatively stable in 2010 compared to 2009 due to transfers of loans to nonaccrual and more rigorous collection activity. The increases in the delinquency percentages are predominately attributable to the significant decrease in the Companys loan portfolio. In its evaluation for the ALLL, management considers a variety of qualitative factors including changes in the volume and severity of delinquencies.
As of September 30, 2010, the Companys ratio of nonperforming loans to total gross loans was 4.7% compared to the 2.8% reported as of December 31, 2009. The Company continues to acknowledge the weakness in local real estate markets, emphasizing strict underwriting standards to minimize the negative impact of the current environment. The increase in the ratio is primarily a result of the decrease in the loan portfolio.
OREO totaled $11.2 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. OREO consisted of 17 properties as of September 30, 2010 and 16 properties as of December 31, 2009. Five of the properties held in OREO as of September 30, 2010 totaled $9.3 million and represented 83.0% of the total. Included in OREO are six properties totaling $2.2 million, or 19.6%, of OREO, located outside of the Companys general market area. Additionally, $7.4 million, or 66.1%, of OREO is located in the Pocono Mountains region located within the Companys primary market area that has been particularly hard hit during the current economic recession.
The Company is actively marketing these properties for sale through a variety of channels including internal marketing and the use of outside brokers/realtors. The carrying value of OREO is generally calculated at an amount not greater than 90% of the most recent fair market appraised value. A 10% factor is generally used to estimate costs to sell, which is based on typical cost factors, such as 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. This market value is updated on an annual basis or more frequently if new valuation information is available. Further deterioration in the real estate market could result in additional losses on these properties.
The Company foreclosed on eight properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, two of which totaled $4.6 million and are a majority of the additions. This increase was offset by property sales of approximately $3.3 million. In conjunction with the transfer to OREO, the Company charged off $2.5 million of the loan balances against the ALLL to bring the properties down to their carrying value of $11.2 million.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The ALLL represents managements estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is analyzed in accordance with GAAP and varies from year to year based on managements evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL in relation to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Effective for year-end 2009, the ALLL methodology was revised to include an enhanced impairment measurement process. Enhancements were also made to the historical loss analysis including an expanded and a more comprehensive loan pool analysis and developing a more detailed qualitative adjustment factors analysis.
In its evaluation, management considers qualitative and environmental factors, including but not limited to:
· Changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;
· Changes in the nature and volume of the Companys loan portfolio;
· Changes in the Companys lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery practices and results;
· Changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Companys lending management and staff;
· Changes in the quality of the Companys loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Companys Board of Directors;
· Changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;
· The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations;
· The effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Companys current loan portfolio; and
· Analysis of our customers credit quality.
Evaluations are intrinsically subjective, as the results are estimated based on management knowledge and experience and are subject to interpretation and modification as information becomes available or as future events occur. Management monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis with emphasis on the declining real estate market and a weakened economy and its effect on repayment. Adjustments to the ALLL are made based on managements assessment of the factors noted above.
Doubtful loans, non-accrual and substandard loans and troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired and are analyzed individually to determine the amount of impairment. Circumstances such as construction delays, declining real estate values, and the inability of the borrowers to make scheduled payments have resulted in these loan relationships being classified as impaired. The fair value of collateral method is generally used for this measurement unless the loan is non-collateral dependent in which case, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed. Appraisals are received at least annually to ensure that impairment measurements reflect current market conditions. Should a current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other valuation sources including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale may be used. Only downward adjustments are made based on these supporting values. Included in all impairment calculations is a cost to sell adjustment of approximately 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, including a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. Sales costs are periodically revised based on actual experience. The ALLL analysis is adjusted for subsequent events that may arise after the end of the reporting period but before the financial reports are filed.
The Companys ALLL consists of both specific and general components. At September 30, 2010, the ALLL that related to impaired loans, the guidance for which is provided by ASC 310 Impairment of a Loan (ASC 310), was $7.1 million, or 27.8% of total ALLL. A general allocation of $18.5 million was calculated for loans analyzed under ASC 450 Contingencies (ASC 450), which represented 72.2% of the total ALLL of $25.6 million. The ratio of the ALLL to total loans at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was 3.18% and 2.39%, respectively, based on total loans of $805.7 million and $939.6 million, respectively.

The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans for September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.18% and 1.97%, respectively. Gross loans decrease from $939.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $805.7 million at September 30, 2010. The ALLL increased $3.2 million from $22.5 million at December 31, to $25.6 million at September 30, 2010. Net charge-offs totaled $13.8 million in for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company added provisions of $17.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of these charge-offs and the increase in nonaccrual loans.
Liabilities
Total liabilities were $1.25 billion at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $500 million, or 3.8%, from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in total deposits and borrowed funds. Deposit liabilities decreased $18 million, or 1.7%, primarily as a result of a $61 million, or 11% decrease in time deposits partially offset by a $34 million, or 9.6% increase in interest-bearing demand deposits and a $7 million, or 8.4% increase in savings deposits. Borrowed funds decreased $31 million, or 14.3% as the Company used the proceeds generated by net loan repayments from its customers to repay its borrowings.
Equity
Total shareholders equity decreased $8.2 million, or 13.0%, to $54.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $63.1 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to the net loss of $17.9 million, partially offset by a $9.1 million reduction in other comprehensive loss from $12.3 million as of December 31, 2009 to $3.2 million as of September 30, 2010. The decrease in other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to the increase in the fair value of securities held in the available for sale portfolio. Book value per common share was $3.34 at September 30, 2010 compared to $3.87 at December 31, 2009.
Liquidity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, funds provided by our operating activities amounted to $11.4 million. The Company funded $86.3 million in purchases of securities available for sale. Funds were primarily provided by $32.9 million in calls, maturities and pay downs of securities and $36.6 million in proceeds from sales of securities available for sale. These funds, together with $86.4 million of cash and cash equivalents available at the beginning of the year, were utilized to fund net deposit outflows of $17.8 million and the net repayment of $32.9 million of FHLB advances.
Interest Rate Risk
Our consolidated statements of financial position have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of our interest-earning assets which could adversely affect our results of operation if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available-for-sale, decreases in our shareholders equity, if such securities were retained.
We manage the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust our exposure to interest rate risk. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down (shocked) 200 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of the market value of liabilities. The market value of assets and liabilities is determined using a discounted cash flow calculation. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2010. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements, or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used for general corporate purposes or for customer needs. Corporate purpose transactions are used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers requests for funding.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the companys exposure to market risk during the first nine months of 2010. For discussion of the Companys exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk, contained in the Companys Amended 2009 Form 10-K/A.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2010. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are only being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The following material weaknesses were identified:
Financial Reporting
The Company amended and restated its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and filed an amended annual report on Form 10-K/A with the SEC on December 2, 2011. In connection with such restatement and amendment process (the 2009 restatement process), which extended past December 31, 2010 and into 2011, material errors in the financial statements were detected and corrected. During the 2009 restatement process, management determined that material errors also existed in the financial statements for the first and second quarters of 2010, and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for those periods were also amended. The 2009 restatement process caused a substantial delay in closing the Companys accounting records for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010, and as a result, the Company did not file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 or its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in a timely manner. During the process of closing the financial records and conducting the audit for the year ended December 31, 2010, management, in conjunction with the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, identified numerous significant deficiencies and control deficiencies related to internal controls over financial reporting, and detected and corrected errors with respect to the accounting for the transfer of a property from other real estate owned to real estate to be used for operations and its accounting for rent expense under its real estate leases. Overall, corrections for these errors resulted in adjustments to increase expenses by $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, management and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm noted that various financial schedules supporting the balances and transactions in the 2010 financial statements did not agree or reconcile with the related financial statement balances and transactions due to the absence of effective review control procedures over the schedules. As a result of these weaknesses, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective entity level controls over financial reporting.
Information Technology (IT)
Systemic control deficiencies were found to exist in the Companys processes, procedures and safeguards for information systems security, including as it related to access controls and systems administration, data back-up, job processing and change management for network and application changes . In particular, users of the Companys computer sub-systems may have had inappropriate access and system privileges that allowed them to view information and/or perform functions that are not appropriate to their job functions. Such access may have led to transactions being recorded improperly or may have permitted unauthorized transactions to occur.
Remediation Efforts in 2011 and 2012
To remediate the material weakness in the accounting and finance function, the Company has hired, and continues to work with, third party experts to assist with the implementation of improved financial close processes and procedures. Additionally, the Company and its management are performing additional reviews of its financial statement preparation, reconciliation and disclosure processes and intends to implement further improvements. The material weakness in information systems security existed throughout 2010 and was not identified until May 2011. To remediate this material weakness, the Company has modified its information systems procedures to centralize information systems access granting privileges to the information technology department rather than across various department functions across the Company and has hired outside consultants to review and implement policy, process and security improvements.
Management believes that these changes will contribute significantly to the remediation of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were in existence as of December 31, 2010. Additional changes will be implemented as determined necessary.
Although the Companys remediation efforts are well underway and are expected to be completed in the near future, the Companys weaknesses will not be considered remediated until new internal controls are operational for a period of time and are tested, and management concludes that these controls are operating effectively. The Company is not aware of any transactions that were improperly undertaken as a result of the material weaknesses noted above and therefore does not believe that the material weaknesses had any material impact on the Companys financial statements.
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against the Company, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Company holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to its business. On August 8, 2011, the Company announced that it had received document subpoenas from the SEC. The information requested generally relates to disclosure and financial reporting by the Company and the restatement of the Companys financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The Company is presently cooperating with the SEC in this matter. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Management of the Company does not believe there have been any material changes in the risk factors that were previously disclosed in the Companys amended Form 10-K/A for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Item 3 - Defaults upon Senior Securities.

Item 4 [Removed and Reserved.]
On April 6, 2012, in connection with a periodic review of governance documents, the Companys Board of Directors reviewed the Companys Bylaws in their entirety and approved and adopted amended and restated Bylaws (the A&R Bylaws). In summary, the Board of Directors approved the following material changes to the Companys Bylaws, effective April 6, 2012:
· The annual meeting of shareholders must be held at such time and place as the Board may determine (instead of no later than the 31st day of May in each year)
· The provision regarding notice of meetings of shareholders requires that notice be given in any manner permitted by law, at least five days prior to the day named for the meeting, unless greater notice is required by law (instead of requiring specific inclusion of notice of the date, time, place and purpose of the meeting)
· Detailed provisions regarding notifications and nominations and proposed business were included in Section 1.07, including (i) a 70 to 90 notification day window (rather than not less than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting) and (ii) seven specific requirements that must be included in the written shareholders notice
· A requirement to disclose hedging positions in connection with a shareholder proposal was included in Section 1.08
· Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman, the President or by two or more directors (instead of only the Chairman or three or more directors)

· The Chairman and Vice Chairman positions were made optional and the Chairman of the Board may no longer be an officer of the Bank (instead of the previous requirement that the Chairman of the Board be an officer of the Bank)
· Indemnification and advancement of expenses was previously mandatory only for successful actions and was permissive for other actions and was changed to be mandatory for all actions for current and future directors and officers
· The provision regarding dividends was not included in the A&R Bylaws
· Provisions regarding notices and waivers thereof were simplified and included only in applicable sections of the A&R Bylaws (instead of as a separate section of general applicability)
· An exclusive venue provision was added in Section 9.01
In reliance on specific provisions in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, provisions relating to the following were deleted:
· Fixing of the time of a special meeting upon written request of the person who called the special meeting
· Quorum for shareholder meetings and judges of election
· Vacancies of the office of director, court removal of a director and acts of the Board done during the suspension or removal of a director
· Presumption of assent by a director to action taken if present
· Designation of alternate directors as committee members
· Compensation of directors
· Application of the indemnification section to surviving or new corporations
· Financial report to shareholders
