FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 evidences Congress’ determination that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by corporate management. This Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. “Forward-looking statements” are easily identified by the use of words such as “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “confident,” and similar words that refer to a future outlook. To comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the company notes that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results and experiences to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements.
 
     The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the company’s business include, but are not limited to, the growth of the economy, unemployment, pricing in the real estate market, interest rate movements, the impact of competitive products, services and pricing, customer business requirements, the current economic environment posing significant challenges and affecting our financial condition and results of operations, the possibility of future FDIC assessments, Congressional legislation and similar matters (including changes as a result of rules and regulations adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act). The downgrade of U.S. government securities by one of the credit rating agencies could have a material adverse effect on the company’s operations, earnings and financial condition. We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which are subject to influence by unanticipated future events. Actual results, accordingly, may differ materially from management expectations.

  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
 
  In preparing these financial statements, the company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
 
2. Stock-Based Compensation
 
  The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders on May 13, 2003, which authorized up to 183,600 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive options to employees and directors. On April 24, 2007, the stockholders approved an additional 250,000 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive options to employees and directors. This is the first and only stock incentive plan adopted by the company. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date granted. An option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant. Employee options granted under the plan are subject to a five year vesting schedule. Director options immediately vest.
 
  Incremental stock-based compensation expense recognized for the nine month periods ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $11 thousand and $25 thousand, respectively.
 
  Stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. There were no options granted during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010.
 
  Stock option plan activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is summarized below:
 
            Weighted      
            Average      
      Weighted   Remaining      
      Average   Contractual   Aggregate
      Exercise   Life   Intrinsic
  Shares       Price       (in years)       Value

Options exercisable, September 30, 2011 116 896     14.73   4   $ - -
                   
         
The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2011. The aggregate intrinsic values change based on changes in the market value of the company’s stock.
 
As of September 30, 2011 there was $4 thousand of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period.

The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of the company through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio is made up of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with rates. At the end of any accounting period, the investment portfolio has unrealized gains and losses. The company monitors the portfolio, which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes, to see if adjustments are needed. The primary concern in a loss situation is the credit quality of the business behind the instrument. There is one debt security in the consolidated portfolio that has a loss at September 30, 2011. The primary cause of the temporary impairments in the company’s investments in debt securities was fluctuations in interest rates. Because the company intends to hold these investments in debt securities to maturity and it is more likely than not that the company will not be required to sell these investments before a recovery of unrealized losses, the company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized.
 
There are three equity security investments in the company’s portfolio with losses at September 30, 2011. The company considers these investments to be temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011 and is recognizing no impairment. These are community bank stock related holdings.
 
U.S. Government sponsored agencies include the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation debt securities with a fair value of $22.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and $11.7 million as of December 31, 2010
 
The following table summarizes the fair value and gross unrealized losses for securities aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands).

  The company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock totaled $822 thousand at September 30, 2011. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment and as a restricted investment security, which is carried at cost, because there is no market for the stock, other than the FHLBs or member institutions. Therefore, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Despite the FHLB’s temporary suspension of repurchases of excess capital stock on a regular basis, the company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011 and no impairment has been recognized. FHLB stock is shown as a separate line item on the balance sheet and is not a part of the available for sale securities portfolio.
 
          At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, securities with carrying values of approximately $11.9 million and $24 million, respectively, were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
  In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about 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. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
  In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The new disclosure guidance significantly expands the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into an entity’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements. The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period became effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll forward and modification disclosures, were required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The company has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
           
  The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting.” The rule requires companies to submit financial statements in extensible business reporting language (XBRL) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule. Large accelerated filers and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010. All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011. The company complied with this Rule beginning with the filing of the June 30, 2011 Form 10-Q.
 
  In March 2011, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 114. This SAB revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in the codification of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. This update is intended to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance issued as a part of the FASB’s Codification. The principal changes involve revision or removal of accounting guidance references and other conforming changes to ensure consistency of referencing through the SAB Series. The effective date for SAB 114 is March 28, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
  In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession to a debtor. They also clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The company has adopted ASU 2011-02 and included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.
 
  In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) – Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
           
  In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application. Early application is not permitted. The company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
  In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this ASU is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement of comprehensive income should include the components of net income, a total for net income, the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present all the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, or the calculation or reporting of earnings per share. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require transition disclosures. The company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2011-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
  In August 2011, the SEC issued Final Rule No. 33-9250, “Technical Amendments to Commission Rules and Forms related to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.” The SEC has adopted technical amendments to various rules and forms under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Investment Company Act of 1940. These revisions were necessary to conform those rules and forms to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The technical amendments include revision of certain rules in Regulation S-X, certain items in Regulation S-K, and various rules and forms prescribed under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and Investment Company Act. The Release was effective as of August 12, 2011. The adoption of the release did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

9. Fair Value Measurements
 
          Determination of Fair Value
 
  The company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments for certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
 
  The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
 
  Fair Value Hierarchy
 
  In accordance with this guidance, the company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
 
  Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 2—Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
  Level 3—Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques.
 
  A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
  The following methods and assumptions were used by the company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
  Cash and Short-Term Investments
 
  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.
 
  Securities
 
 
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2). Certain of the equity securities with inactive markets utilize Level 3 which may include judgement or estimation.

9. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
          Loans
 
  For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered.
 
  FHLB Stock
 
  The carrying amounts of FHLB stock approximate fair value based on redemption provisions of the FHLB.
 
  Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)
 
  The carrying amounts of BOLI approximate fair value.
 
  Deposit Liabilities
 
  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity fixed rate certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
  Short-Term Borrowings
 
  The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased approximate fair value.
 
  FHLB Advances
 
  The fair values of the company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
  Accrued Interest
 
  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
 
  Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the fair value of loan commitments and standby-letters of credit was immaterial. Therefore, they have not been included in the following table.

          Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
   
  Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
   
  The following describes the valuation techniques used by the company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:
   
  Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. These loans currently consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, the company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the periods ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within other operating income on the consolidated statements of operations.
   
  Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is likely that some amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement may not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered (Level 3). The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans allocated to the Allowance for Loan Losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
25
 

 

9. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
          Other Real Estate Owned: Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal outside of the company or comparative market analysis using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, or property is in the process of being appraised then the fair value is considered Level 3.
 
  The following table summarizes the company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value (in thousands) on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
          CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
  General
   
  The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

26
 

 

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (1) losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are capable of estimation and (2) losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral and the loan balance.
 
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as loss, doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, 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 non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for environmental factors such as economic, concentration, and growth trends. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects that margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
 
The quarter ended September 30, 2011 has produced little, if any, clarity to the economic outlook. The local economy has remained relatively unchanged. The housing market and unemployment continue to be a drag on the local economy. Management has counteracted the reductions in loan income by reducing expenses wherever possible, and continuing to reduce interest expense on deposits. There have been no significant adverse effects on deposit balances.
 
Management continues to pursue potential loan relationships and is vigilantly marketing our current inventory of foreclosed properties. It is management’s opinion that one of the key elements to improving our situation and that of the local economy is to reduce this housing inventory currently owned by financial institutions. We expect economic growth to be slow and do not expect the real estate market to return to pre-recession levels.
 
The net loss for the quarter of $1.8 million and a net loss year to date of $1.3 million are primarily due to two charges posted in this quarter. First, we reduced the value of our foreclosed property assets by some $1.85 million upon obtaining updated appraisals on foreclosed property carried on our balance sheet. We evaluate these assets on an ongoing basis especially in a “declining real estate market” which our area continues to experience. About two thirds of the write-down involves residential lot developments foreclosed upon and charged down in 2009. These properties have continued to lose value due to very weak demand by consumers for new housing and little demand from builders for lots. A surplus of foreclosed properties on the market continues to keep prices low, so until new and existing housing values reach some sort of price equilibrium, there will be little demand for both lots and new construction.
 
A second charge of $2.1 million involves additions to our loan loss reserve as businesses and consumers continue to struggle because of the sluggish economy. In conjunction with our ongoing loan review process, an analysis of both primary and secondary sources of repayment including an assessment of the current value of collateral is performed. Again, most of the collateral that secures our loans is real estate and those values are down significantly.
 
Total assets have decreased $3.9 million or 1.3% from the December 31, 2010 total of $297.6 million to $293.7 million at September 30, 2011. Net loans have decreased approximately $12.1 million from the December 31, 2010 total of $214.2 million to $202.1 million at September 30, 2011 due to minimal loan demand, the pay down of existing loans, loan charge-offs and the transfer of loans to OREO. Other real estate, net of valuation allowance, has decreased $412 thousand. With the decrease in loans, excess funds have been invested in securities, and overnight funds at the Federal Reserve.
 
Total deposits have increased $275 thousand or .1% at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. Interest-bearing deposits have decreased 1.2% during the first three quarters of 2011, with non-interest bearing deposits increasing 11.3%.
 
The Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio (leverage capital ratio) is 8.42% at September 30, 2011 compared to 9.36% at December 31, 2010. This capital ratio is within the regulatory guidelines for “well capitalized”.
 
The debate in Congress regarding the national debt ceiling, federal budget deficit concerns and overall weakness in the economy recently resulted in a downgrade of U.S. government securities by Standard and Poor’s, one of the three major credit rating agencies. This downgrade and the possible future downgrade by one or both of the other two major ratings agencies could create uncertainty in the U.S. and global financial markets. These actions could cause other events which, directly or indirectly, may adversely affect the company’s operations, earnings and financial condition.

The following table is an analysis of the company’s allowance for loan losses with amounts shown in thousands. Management monitors the loan portfolio on a continual basis with procedures that allow for problem loans and potentially problem loans to be highlighted and watched. Written reports are prepared on a monthly basis for all loans including commercial loans graded below a certain level for management review and are reported to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. In addition, a subcommittee of the board of directors meets monthly to review all classified assets. Based on experience, these loan policies and the bank’s grading and review system, management believes the loan loss allowance is adequate.

As a result of the regular loan reviews by management, the allowance for loan losses increased when comparing data as of September 30, 2011 to September 30, 2010. Many of the loans foreclosed upon or currently in nonaccrual status are related to the real estate industry. In comparing data for the loan loss reserve for the September 30, 2011 quarter end to December 31, 2010 information, the reserve has increased in relation to a continued weak economy. Management continues to review these assets on a regular basis.
 
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more and in the process of collection. Interest income generally is recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is expected. Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. The majority of the current non-accrual loans as shown in the chart below are in the process of collection. Following is a table showing the risk elements in the loan portfolio with amounts in thousands.

The details of the income statements for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are highlighted below.
 
Ø Year to date net loss in 2011 is $1.37 million compared to net income of $1.39 million in 2010. Quarterly net loss is $1.8 million in 2011 compared to net income of $528 thousand for the same quarter of 2010. The loan portfolio has decreased as the result of foreclosures and normal run off. Decline in property values have further affected the net income as other real estate write downs have been charged against income. In addition there were net gains on sale of other real estate in 2010 compared to net losses in 2011.
 
Ø The primary driver of both the year to date loss and quarterly loss are attributable to increases in the loan loss provision and write downs of OREO property. The year to date provision for loan loss has increased $1.7 million over the same period in 2010. The quarterly provision increased $1.9 million over the same quarter in 2010. Likewise, the write down of OREO property had a year to date increase of $2.1 million and a quarterly increase of $1.8 million. Both of these figures represent comparisons to the same time period in 2010.
 
Ø At September 30, 2011, year to date total interest and dividend income is down 9.5% compared to September 30, 2010. A comparison of quarterly interest and dividend income provides a reduction of 8.6%. In each scenario the reasons for the decrease in income are the same. Loan yields are down slightly over the past year and the loan portfolio has decreased. As of September 30 there are also $2.8 million in loans on nonaccrual status. As of September 30, 2011 loans are down 5.4% compared to December 31, 2010.
 
Ø At September 30, 2011, year to date interest expense was 26.7% below 2010 expense for the same time period. The quarterly results show a 36.2% drop in interest expense as compared to the same quarter in 2010. The decrease in expense is primarily due to a reduction in interest rates on deposit accounts as part of a planned strategy.
 
Ø Net interest margin at September 30, 2011 is 3.54%. This is down from the net interest margin of 3.56% for the same period in 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, the overall average rate on loans dropped to 5.56% at September 30, 2011 compared to 5.71% for the same period in 2010. During this same period the overall average rate being paid on deposits decreased to 1.29% from 1.72% at September 30, 2010.
 
Noninterest income increased 2.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to September 30, 2010 and increased 3.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. Some significant income items are listed here.
 
Ø Visa and Mastercard fees have increased 13.2% on a year to date basis compared to the same period in 2010. The increase is due to an overall increase in consumer spending and the likelihood that consumers continue to get more comfortable with using credit/debit cards versus cash.
 
Ø Quarterly comparisons show a 13.1% increase in income from fiduciary activities and a 15.1% increase in fees from Visa and Mastercard. These results are in comparison to the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Year to date total noninterest expense increased about 40.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The quarterly result was an increase of 86.5% over the September 2010 quarter. Excluding write downs and losses from sales of other real estate, noninterest expense was up 4.6% and 1.1% for the nine and three month periods, respectively. Some details of the remaining accounts are listed below.
 
Ø Furniture and equipment expense increased 10.2% over September 30, 2010. The quarterly comparisons show an increase of 54.3% over the September 2010 quarter. The primary reason for the increase is maintenance expense related to our core banking software.
 
Ø Advertising and public relations expense increased 13.2% compared to the same period in 2010. The expense is 20.5% greater than the September 2010 quarter.
 
Ø Accounting, audit and compliance fees are up 29.8% over September 30, 2010. These same fees show an increase of 41.7% as compared to the September 30, 2010 quarter. The increase is due to auditing services provided by an outside vendor to help assess our loan portfolio.
 
Ø ATM and check card expenses have increased 15% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same time period in 2010. The increase jumps to 18% when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due to the purchase of card stock (which generally occurs on a bi-annual basis) as well as an increase in the number of cards being reissued because of fraud, damage or loss by the customer.
 
Ø Postage expense has increased 15.1% over September 30, 2010. The quarterly results show increases of 13.2% over the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily related to postage costs related to promotional materials and customer notifications. In the third quarter we expensed the postage costs for the shipment of the 140th anniversary calendars and mailings to notify customers of our privacy policy and changes in our fees on deposit accounts. Two of these three items are one time expenses not in the normal course of business.
 
Ø 2011 year to date other operating expenses have increased 13.5% compared to the same period in 2010. The significant contributing factors include trust investing outsource, other professional fees, other taxes, training and study, and credit reports and investigation.

LIQUIDITY
 
Liquidity is a measure of the Bank’s ability to respond to sudden changes in funding needs or funding sources. Examples of sudden changes could involve a sudden increase in loan demand, a funding need, or it might involve a large decrease in deposited funds, a funding source. The role of cash management is to manage assets and liabilities so that the Bank can respond to such fluctuations in sources and uses of cash. Management spends much of its time assessing our liquidity position.
 
Management is informed of the liquidity information via reports and committee discussion. The president is provided a weekly “dashboard” report of our liquidity information. The Asset/Liability Committee reviews and discusses our liquidity position on a quarterly basis. The committee has set a benchmark minimum liquidity ratio of 15%. Management has recently implemented on a strategy to free up some pledged assets for liquidity purposes.
 
Public funds are required to have collateral pledged against their balances above the FDIC insurance limits. Generally the bank has pledged securities or obtained letters of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh to cover public funds. Two additional strategies to cover these funds are now being used. In the case of public funds in the form of CDs, the bank is utilizing the CDARS network to insure their funds. We are also using the Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) product to secure public funds. Both of the programs provide complete coverage through FDIC insurance. Most importantly, the securities that had been pledged against the public funds can be used as a source of cash if the need would arise. The securities are effectively converted from a non liquid asset to a liquid asset.
 
Liquid assets of the company include cash and due from banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, and loans and investments maturing within one year. The company’s statement of cash flows details this liquidity since January 1, 2011.
 
     Operating Activities. The company’s net income usually provides cash from the bank’s operating activities. The net income figure is adjusted for certain noncash transactions such as depreciation expense that reduces net income but does not require a cash outlay. During 2011, the net loss as adjusted has provided cash of $3.1 million. Interest income earned on loans and investment securities is the company’s major income source.
 
     Investing Activities. Customer core deposits and company noncore funding provide the funds used to invest in loans and investment securities. In addition, the principal portion of loan payments, loan payoffs and maturity of investment securities provide cash flow. Purchases of bank premises and equipment are an investing activity. We have taken advantage of our noncore funding capabilities since deposit growth is not always sufficient. The net amount of cash provided by investing activities in 2011 is $4.8 million.
 
     Financing Activities. Customer core deposits and company noncore funding provide the financing for the investing activities as stated above. If the company has an excess of funds on any given day, the bank will sell these funds to make additional interest income to fund activities. Likewise, if the company has a shortage of funds on any given day it will purchase funds and pay interest for the use of these funds. Financing activities also include payment of dividends to shareholders, purchase of shares of the company’s common stock for the treasury and repayment of any noncore funding. The net amount of cash used in financing activities in 2011 is $2.8 million.
 
At September 30, 2011, cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in financial institutions, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold and loans and securities maturing within one year were $41.5 million.
 
Noncore funding capabilities, including borrowing, provide additional liquidity. The subsidiary bank maintains a federal funds line with one financial institution and is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. In March 2010, the subsidiary bank modified a $3 million borrowing amortizing over three years from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In July 2009 the subsidiary bank secured a credit line with the Federal Reserve discount window. At September 30, 2011, the subsidiary bank has total credit available through these institutions of approximately $35.7 million.
 
ANALYSIS OF CAPITAL
 
     The adequacy of the company’s capital is reviewed by management on an ongoing basis in terms of the size, composition, and quality of the company’s asset and liability levels, and consistency with regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.

     The Federal Reserve, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have adopted capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital, composed of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. All capital ratios are within the regulatory guidelines for a “well capitalized institution as noted below.
