UNIVEST CORPORATION OF PENNSYLVANIA AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries; the Corporation’s primary subsidiary is Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the Bank). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim financial information. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the SEC on March 2, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include fair value measurement of investment securities available for sale and assessment for impairment of certain investment securities, reserve for loan and lease losses, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets and liabilities, benefit plans and stock-based compensation expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) regarding the presentation of comprehensive income and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and facilitate the convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The guidance requires entities to report the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. This update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, or March 31, 2012 for the Corporation, and is to be applied retrospectively. In December 2011, the FASB issued an ASU deferring the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Corporation adopted the two separate but consecutive financial statements approach for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and retrospectively for the three months ended March 31, 2011 by including consolidated statements of comprehensive income after the consolidated statements of income in this report. The standard did not have any material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued an ASU regarding fair value measurements which establishes a global standard in U.S. GAAP and IFRS for applying fair value measurements and disclosures. Consequently, the amendments in this update change the wording to describe many of the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments do not require additional fair value measurements and most of the amendments are not intended to result in a change of the application of fair value measurement requirements. Additional disclosures required include: 1) for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: a) the valuation processes used by the reporting entity; and b) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs,

 

7


if any; and 2) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, or March 31, 2012 for the Corporation, and is to be applied prospectively. The application of the provisions of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements although it resulted in expanded disclosures effective March 31, 2012, which are included in Note 10, “Fair Value Disclosures.”

Securities with a fair value of $322.8 million and $338.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by law.

Accumulated other comprehensive income related to securities of $6.6 million and $7.3 million, net of taxes, has been included in shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Unrealized losses in investment securities at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 do not represent other-than-temporary impairments.

The Corporation realized other-than-temporary impairment charges to noninterest income of $3 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively, on its equity portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The Corporation determined that it was probable that the fair value of certain equity securities would not recover to the Corporation’s cost basis within a reasonable period of time due to a decline in the financial stability of the underlying companies. The Corporation carefully monitors all of its equity securities and has not taken impairment losses on certain other equity securities in an unrealized loss position, at this time, as the financial performance of the underlying companies is not indicative of the market deterioration of their stock and it is probable that the market value of the equity securities will recover to the Corporation’s cost basis in the individual securities in a reasonable amount of time. The equity securities within the following table consist of common stocks of other financial institutions, which have experienced recent declines in value consistent with the industry as a whole. Management evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. The Corporation has the positive intent to hold these securities and believes it is more likely than not, that it will not have to sell these securities until recovery to the Corporation’s cost basis occurs. The Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U. S. Government, Government Sponsored Agencies, municipalities, corporate bonds and other issuers, for other-than-temporary impairment and considers the current economic conditions, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, interest rates and the bond rating of each security. All of the debt securities are rated as investment grade and management believes that it will not incur any losses. The unrealized losses on the Corporation’s investments in debt securities are temporary in nature since they are primarily related to market interest rates and are not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers within our investment portfolio. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell the debt securities and believes it is more likely than not, that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Corporation has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairment charges on debt securities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no investments in any single non-federal issuer representing more than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

Credit Quality Indicators

The following tables present by class, the recorded investment in loans and leases by credit quality indicator at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Corporation employs a ten (10) grade risk rating system related to the credit quality of commercial loans and residential real estate loans secured for a business purpose of which the first six categories are pass categories (credits not adversely rated). The following is a description of the internal risk ratings and the likelihood of loss related to each risk rating. Loans with risk ratings of one through five are reviewed based on the relationship dollar amount with the borrower: loans with a relationship total of $2.5 million or greater are reviewed quarterly; loans with a relationship balance of less than $2.5 million but greater than $500 thousand are reviewed annually based on the borrower’s fiscal year; loans with a relationship balance of less than $500 thousand are reviewed only if the loan becomes 60 days or more past due. Loans with risk ratings of six are also reviewed based on the relationship dollar amount with the borrower: loans with a relationship balance of $2.0 million or greater are reviewed quarterly; loans with a relationship balance of less than $2.0 million but greater than $500 thousand are reviewed annually; loans with a relationship balance of less than $500 thousand are reviewed only if the loan becomes 60 days or more past due. Loans with risk ratings of seven are reviewed at least quarterly, and as often as monthly, at management’s discretion. Loans with risk ratings of eight through ten are reviewed monthly.

 

  1. Cash Secured – No credit risk
  2. Fully Secured – Negligible credit risk
  3. Strong – Minimal credit risk
  4. Satisfactory – Nominal credit risk
  5. Acceptable – Moderate credit risk
  6. Pre-Watch – Marginal, but stable credit risk
  7. Special Mention – Potential weakness
  8. Substandard – Well-defined weakness
  9. Doubtful – Collection in-full improbable
  10. Loss – Considered uncollectible

The Corporation monitors the credit risk profile by payment activity for the following classifications of loans and leases: residential real estate loans secured for a personal purpose, home equity loans secured for a personal purpose, loans to individuals and lease financings by payment activity. Nonperforming loans and leases are loans past due 90 days or more, loans and leases on non-accrual of interest and troubled debt restructured loans and lease modifications. Performing loans and leases are reviewed only if the loan becomes 60 days or more past due. Nonperforming loans and leases are reviewed monthly. Performing loans and leases have a nominal to moderate risk of loss. Nonperforming loans and leases are loans or leases with a well-defined weakness and where collection in-full is improbable.

Risks associated with lending activities include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and economic conditions, which may adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, and impact the value of the associated collateral.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and residential real estate loans with a business purpose are generally perceived as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans with a personal purpose and consumer loans. These types of loans involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers. Commercial real estate loans may be affected to a greater extent than residential loans by adverse conditions in real estate markets or the economy because commercial real estate borrowers’ ability to repay their loans depends on successful development of their properties and factors affecting residential real estate borrowers.

Commercial, financial and agricultural business loans are typically based on the borrowers’ ability to repay the loans from the cash flow of their businesses. These loans may involve greater risk because the availability of funds to repay each loan depends substantially on the success of the business itself. In addition, the collateral securing the loans often depreciates over time, is difficult to appraise and liquidate and fluctuates in value based on the success of the business.

 

13


Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon whether our initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction equals or exceeds the cost of the property construction (including interest). During the construction phase, a number of factors can result in delays and cost overruns. If estimates of value are inaccurate or if actual construction costs exceed estimates, the value of the property securing the loan may be insufficient to ensure full repayment when completed through a permanent loan or by seizure of collateral. Included in real estate-construction is track development financing. Risk factors related to track development financing include the demand for residential housing and the real estate valuation market. When projects move slower than anticipated, the properties may have significantly lower values than when the original underwriting was completed, resulting in lower collateral values to support the loan. Extended time frames also cause the interest carrying cost for a project to be higher than the builder projected, negatively impacting the builder’s profit and cash flow and, therefore, their ability to make principal and interest payments.

Commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans with a business purpose secured by owner-occupied properties are dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business. If the operating company suffers difficulties in terms of sales volume and/or profitability, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Loans secured by properties where repayment is dependent upon payment of rent by third party tenants or the sale of the property may be impacted by loss of tenants, lower lease rates needed to attract new tenants or the inability to sell a completed project in a timely fashion and at a profit.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and residential real estate loans secured for a business purpose are more susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle. The Corporation has strict underwriting, review, and monitoring procedures in place, however, these procedures cannot eliminate all of the risks related to these loans.

The Corporation focuses on both assessing the borrower’s capacity and willingness to repay and on obtaining sufficient collateral. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are generally secured by the borrower’s assets and by personal guarantees. Commercial real estate and residential real estate loans secured for a business purpose are originated primarily within the Eastern Pennsylvania market area at conservative loan-to-value ratios and often by a guarantee of the borrowers. Management closely monitors the composition and quality of the total commercial loan portfolio to ensure that any credit concentrations by borrower or industry are closely monitored.

The Corporation originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate real estate-residential mortgage loans that are secured by the underlying 1- to 4-family residential properties for personal purposes. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is minimized by the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower, including debt-to-equity ratios, credit scores and adherence to underwriting policies that emphasize conservative loan-to-value ratios of generally no more than 80%. Residential mortgage loans granted in excess of the 80% loan-to-value ratio criterion are generally insured by private mortgage insurance.

In the real estate-home equity loan portfolio secured for a personal purpose, combined loan-to-value ratios at origination are generally limited to 80%. Other credit considerations may warrant higher combined loan-to-value ratios and are generally insured by private mortgage insurance.

Credit risk in the loans to individuals portfolio, which includes, direct consumer loans and credit cards, is controlled by strict adherence to conservative underwriting standards that consider debt-to-income levels and the creditworthiness of the borrower and, if secured, collateral values.

The primary risks that are involved with lease financing receivables are credit underwriting and borrower industry concentrations. The Corporation has strict underwriting, review, and monitoring procedures in place to mitigate this risk. Risk also lies in the residual value of the underlying equipment. Residual values are subject to judgments as to the value of the underlying equipment that can be affected by changes in economic and market conditions and the financial viability of the residual guarantors and insurers. To the extent not guaranteed or assumed by a third party, or otherwise insured against, the Corporation bears the risk of ownership of the leased assets. This includes the risk that the actual value of the leased assets at the end of the lease term will be less than the residual value. The Corporation greatly reduces this risk by using $1.00 buyout leases, in which the entire cost of the leased equipment is included in the contractual payments, leaving no residual payment at the end of the lease terms.

The Corporation grants concessions primarily related to extensions of interest-only payment periods and an occasional payment modification. These modifications typically are on a short-term basis up to one year. Our goal when restructuring a credit is to afford the customer a reasonable period of time to provide cash flow relief to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties.

Accruing loans totaling $3.7 million were restructured during the first three months of 2012. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans were primarily comprised of two categories of loans on which interest is being accrued under the restructured terms, and the loans were current or less than ninety days past due. The first category primarily consisted of four commercial business loans for one borrower totaling $1.3 million, which had their interest only payment terms extended due to reduced cash flows. The second category primarily consisted of one construction loan totaling $1.2 million, which had interest only payment terms extended until projected cash flows from rental

property income are received. Accruing troubled debt restructured loans charged-off during the three months ended March 31, 2012 subsequent to the restructuring totaled approximately $358 thousand, primarily due to declines in collateral values for two commercial real estate loans for one borrower.

Nonaccrual loans totaling $572 thousand were restructured during the first three months of 2012. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructured loans were comprised of two commercial business loans for one borrower, which were granted principal and interest deferrals for a three month period.

There were no accruing or nonaccrual troubled debt restructured loans which had payment defaults within twelve months following restructuring during the three month periods ending March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 4. Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Corporation has originated mortgage servicing rights which are included in other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income on a basis similar to the interest method using an accelerated amortization method and are subject to periodic impairment testing. The aggregate fair value of these rights was $3.1 million and $2.8 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 3.5% to 7.3% at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Changes in the mortgage servicing rights balance are summarized as follows:

Note 5. Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Corporation had no material unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest or penalties. Penalties are recorded in non-interest expense in the year they are assessed and are treated as a non-deductible expense for tax purposes. Interest is recorded in non-interest expense in the year it is assessed and is treated as a deductible expense for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2012, the Corporation’s tax years 2008 through 2011 remain subject to federal examination as well as examination by state taxing jurisdictions.

Note 6. Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Substantially all employees who were hired before December 8, 2009 are covered by a noncontributory retirement plan. Employees hired on or after December 8, 2009 are not eligible to participate in the noncontributory retirement plan. The Corporation also provides supplemental executive retirement benefits, a portion of which is in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. These plans are non-qualified benefit plans. Information on these plans are aggregated and reported under “Retirement Plans” within this footnote.

The Corporation also provides certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Information on these benefits is reported under “Other Postretirement Benefits” within this footnote.

The Corporation sponsors a Supplemental Non-Qualified Pension Plan which was established in 1981 prior to the existence of a 401(k) Deferred Savings Plan, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plans and therefore is not actively offered to new participants.

Information with respect to the Retirement and Supplemental Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits follows:

The Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, that it expected to make contributions of $40 thousand to its qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and $87 thousand to its other postretirement benefit plans in 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Corporation contributed $10 thousand and $19 thousand to its qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and other postretirement plans, respectively.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Corporation may use interest-rate swap agreements to modify the interest rate characteristics from variable to fixed or fixed to floating in order to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future net interest income. Recorded amounts related to interest-rate swaps are included in other assets or liabilities. The Corporation’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps includes fair value and any collateral that is held by a third party. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows are recognized in equity until the underlying forecasted transactions occur, at which time the deferred gains and losses are recognized in income. For a qualifying fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in earnings, and the change in fair value on the hedge item to the extent attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedge item and is recognized in earnings.

Derivative loan commitments represent agreements for delayed delivery of financial instruments in which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to deliver, at a specified future date, a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. The Corporation’s derivative loan commitments are commitments to sell loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties whose predominant risk characteristic is interest rate risk. The fair values of these derivative loan commitments are based upon the estimated amount the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Loans held for sale are included as forward loan commitments.

 

21


On December 23, 2008, the Corporation entered into a cash flow hedge with a notional amount of $20.0 million that had the effect of converting the variable rates on trust preferred securities to a fixed rate. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 2.65% and receives a floating rate based on the three month LIBOR with a maturity date of January 7, 2019. The Corporation expects that there will be no ineffectiveness in the next twelve months, and therefore anticipates no portion of the net loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense within the next twelve months.

The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Note 10. Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy. The Corporation maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Corporation. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Corporation’s assumptions that the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, including assumptions about risk. Three levels of inputs are used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Level 1: Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation can access at the measurement date. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Valuations are based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include: financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash-flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the fair value calculation requires significant management judgment or estimation.

 

23


Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical instruments, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities include highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities, most equity securities and money market mutual funds. Mutual funds are registered investment companies which are valued at net asset value of shares on a market exchange as of the close of business at period end. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Examples of instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, certain MBS, CMOs, and corporate and municipal bonds and certain equity securities. In cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Investment securities classified within Level 3 include certain CMO securities.

Fair values for securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Corporation’s independent pricing service utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. If at any time, the pricing service determines that it does have not sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security, the Corporation will utilize valuations from another pricing service. Management has a sufficient understanding of the third party service’s valuation models, assumptions and inputs used in determining the fair value of securities to enable management to maintain an appropriate system of internal control.

On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reviews changes, as submitted by the pricing service, in the market value of its security portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Corporation has its security portfolio priced by a second pricing service to determine consistency with another market evaluator, except for municipal bonds which are priced by another service provider on a sample basis. If, on the Corporation’s review or in comparing with another servicer, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exists, the Corporation may submit an inquiry to its current pricing service regarding the data used to make the valuation of a particular security. If the Corporation determines it has market information that would support a different valuation than its current pricing service’s evaluation it can submit a challenge for a change to that security’s valuation. There were no material differences in valuations noted at March 31, 2012.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based upon the estimated amount the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired loans include those collateral-dependent loans for which the practical expedient was applied, resulting in a fair-value adjustment to the loan. Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans less cost to sell and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of collateral is based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Corporation. At March 31, 2012, impaired loans had a carrying amount of $42.8 million with a valuation allowance of $912 thousand. At December 31, 2011, impaired loans had a carrying amount of $41.2 million with a valuation allowance of $1.3 million.

The Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model uses readily available prepayment speed assumptions for the current interest rates of the portfolios serviced. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The Corporation reviews the mortgage servicing rights portfolio on a quarterly basis for impairment and the mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. At March 31, 2012, mortgage servicing rights had a carrying amount of $3.6 million with a valuation allowance of $581 thousand. At December 31, 2011, mortgage servicing rights had a carrying amount of $3.5 million with a valuation allowance of $793 thousand.

The fair value of other real estate owned is estimated based upon its appraised value less costs to sell. The real estate is stated at an amount equal to the loan balance prior to foreclosure, plus costs incurred for improvements to the property but no more than the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. New appraisals are generally obtained on an annual basis. Other real estate owned is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. One

other real estate owned property with a carrying amount of $930 thousand was written down to its fair value of $689 thousand, resulting in an impairment charge of $241 thousand, which was included in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Certain non-financial assets subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and other intangible assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no triggering events that required valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets.

The following table presents assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet items not measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and short-term interest-earning assets: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with other banks, and other short-term investments approximates those assets’ fair values. Cash and short-term interest-earning assets are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Held-to-maturity securities: Fair values for the held-to-maturity investment securities are estimated by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of the Corporation’s loans held for sale are generally determined using a pricing model based on current market information obtained from external sources, including interest rates, bids or indications provided by market participants on specific loans that are actively marketed for sale. The Corporation’s loans held for sale are primarily residential mortgage loans and are generally classified in Level 2 due to the observable pricing data. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. There were no valuation adjustments for loans held for sale at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Loans and leases: The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using a discount rate based on current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers and include components for credit risk, operating expense and embedded prepayment options. An overall valuation adjustment is made for specific credit risks in addition to general portfolio risk and is significant to the valuation. As permitted, the fair value of the loans and leases are not based on the exit price concept as discussed in the first paragraph of this note. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand and savings accounts, with no stated maturities, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (carrying value) and are classified within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount for demand and savings accounts previously reported at December 31, 2011 included the estimated fair value of the non-financial intangible of $43.1 million which has been excluded for March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 presentation purposes. The fair values for time deposits with fixed maturities are estimated by discounting the final maturity using interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term borrowings: The fair value of securities sold under repurchase agreements are estimated using current market rates for similar borrowings and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Short-term FHLB advances are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates for similar borrowings, and include components for operating expense and embedded prepayment options that are observable. Short-term FHLB advances are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-term borrowings: The fair values of the Corporation’s long-term borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates for similar borrowings, and include components for credit risk, operating expense, and embedded prepayment options that are observable. Long-term borrowings are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s off-balance-sheet instruments are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing and are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was down $621 thousand, or 3% compared to the same period in 2011. The first quarter 2012 net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.95% a decrease of 29 basis points from 4.24% for the first quarter of 2011.

The provision for loan and lease losses decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

Non-interest income increased $3.3 million or 42% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Non-interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

Gross loans and leases increased $13.4 million from December 31, 2011 while deposits declined $19.2 million from December 31, 2011.

Nonperforming loans and leases increased to $44.1 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $42.5 million at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans and leases were $44.3 million at March 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases were 3.02% at March 31, 2012 compared to 2.94% at December 31, 2011 and 3.07% at March 31, 2011. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Charge-offs occurred primarily in the commercial financial and agricultural and commercial real estate categories.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income and the balance sheet are further discussed in the sections that follow.

The Corporation earns its revenues primarily from the margins and fees it generates from loans and leases and depository services it provides as well as from trust fees and insurance and investment commissions. The Corporation seeks to achieve adequate and reliable earnings by growing its business while maintaining adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting its exposure to credit and interest rate risk to Board of Directors approved levels. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to decrease in value; conversely, as interest rates decline, fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to increase in value. The Corporation is in a more asset sensitive position; although interest rates are expected to remain low for the foreseeable future, it anticipates increasing interest rates over the longer term, which it expects would benefit its net interest margin.

The Corporation seeks to establish itself as the financial provider of choice in the markets it serves. It plans to achieve this goal by offering a broad range of high quality financial products and services and by increasing market awareness of its brand and the benefits that can be derived from its products. The Corporation operates in an attractive market for financial services but also is in intense competition with domestic and international banking organizations and other insurance and investment providers for the financial services business. The Corporation has taken initiatives to achieve its business objectives by acquiring banks and other financial service providers in strategic markets, through marketing, public relations and advertising, by establishing standards of service excellence for its customers, and by using technology to ensure that the needs of its customers are understood and satisfied.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the principal source of the Corporation’s revenue. Table 1 presents a summary of the Corporation’s average balances, the tax-equivalent yields earned on average assets, and the cost of average liabilities, and shareholders’ equity on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The tax-equivalent net interest margin is tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The tax-equivalent net interest spread represents the difference between the weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The effect of net interest free funding sources represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided by noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity. Table 2 analyzes the changes in the tax-equivalent net interest income for the periods broken down by their rate and volume components. Sensitivities associated with the mix of assets and liabilities are numerous and complex. The Investment Asset/Liability Management Committee works to maintain an adequate and stable net interest margin for the Corporation.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $621 thousand, or 3% compared to the same period in 2011. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased 29 basis points to 3.95% from 4.24% for the three-months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest income and the net interest margin was primarily due to the re-investment of maturing and called investment securities with lower yielding investments due to the lower interest rate environment and lower rates on commercial business loans due to re-pricing and competitive pressures. The decline in net interest income and net interest margin was partially offset by re-pricing of certificates of deposits and savings account products. The net interest margin also declined from excess cash funds invested in low rate, interest-earning deposits as credit demand remains light and the Corporation continues to keep the investment portfolio short. Average interest-earning deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank increased $50.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year.

Interest Income

Three months ended March 31, 2012 versus 2011

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $1.3 million, or 5% from the same period in 2011. This decrease was mainly due to an 85 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on investment securities and deposits at other banks and a 25 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on loans. The decline in interest income on investment securities and deposits at other banks of $471 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was mostly due to maturities, pay-downs and calls of investment securities and replacement with lower yielding investments due to the lower interest rate environment and an average increase in interest-earning deposits of $53.2 million as the Corporation continues to keep the investment portfolio short. Interest and fees on loans and leases declined by $780 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 mostly due to a decrease in the average rate on commercial business loans resulting from re-pricing and competitive pressures. The Corporation experienced decreases in average volume for commercial real estate and construction loans and lease financings which were mostly offset by increases in average volume for commercial business loans and municipal loans and leases.

 

33


Interest Expense

Three months ended March 31, 2012 versus 2011

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $630 thousand, or 22% from the comparable period in 2011. This decrease was mainly due to a 20 basis point decrease in the Corporation’s average cost of deposits largely attributable to re-pricing of time deposit accounts and regular savings accounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, interest expense on time deposits decreased $354 thousand and interest expense on savings accounts decreased by $199 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, average interest-bearing deposits increased by $36.3 million with increases in interest-bearing checking of $27.7 million and average regular savings of $17.2 million partially offset by a decrease in average time deposits of $10.6 million. The Corporation’s focus on growing low cost core deposits by attaining new customers and the lower interest rate environment has resulted in a shift in customer deposits from time deposits to savings accounts and interest bearing checking accounts. Interest on other short-term borrowings mainly includes interest paid on federal funds purchased, short-term FHLB borrowings and the amortization of fees on short-term FHLB letters of credit. Average other short-term borrowings decreased by $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in average volume of federal funds purchased. This was partially offset by an increase in average volume of short-term FHLB advances, resulting from the re-class from long-term FHLB debt as the remaining term to maturity became one year or less.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a periodic evaluation that takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due loans and leases, current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in charged-off activity. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans and for certain loans based on discounted cash flows using the loans’ initial effective interest rates. Any of the above criteria may cause the reserve to fluctuate. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of trust department fee income, service charges on deposit accounts, commission income, net gains (losses) on sales of securities, net gains (losses) on mortgage banking activities, net gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net gains (losses) on sales and write-downs of other real estate owned and other miscellaneous types of income. Other service fee income primarily consists of fees from credit card companies for a portion of merchant charges paid to the credit card companies for the Bank’s customer debit card usage (Mastermoney fees), non-customer debit card fees, other merchant fees, mortgage servicing income and mortgage placement income. Bank owned life insurance income represents changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance policies, which is affected by the market value of the underlying assets, and also includes any excess proceeds from death benefit claims. The net gain (loss) on mortgage banking activities consists of gains (losses) on sales of mortgages held for sale and fair value adjustments on interest-rate locks and forward loan commitments. Other non-interest income includes gains (losses) on investments in partnerships and other miscellaneous income.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 versus 2011

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $11.0 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 42% compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributed to proceeds from bank owned life insurance death benefits of $989 thousand and an increase in the net gain on mortgage banking activities of $1.3 million due to stronger mortgage demand from increased re-finance activity. Non-interest income was also favorably impacted by a decrease in the net loss on sales and write-downs of other real estate owned and positive valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Corporation recorded a net loss on sales and write-downs of other real estate owned of $31 thousand compared to $352 thousand for the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Corporation reversed $212 thousand of negative valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights recorded primarily during the third quarter of 2011. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2012 included a net gain on sales of securities of $258 thousand. Partially offsetting these favorable variances was a decline in service charges on deposits of $236 thousand. This decline was primarily due to changes in industry practices to benefit customers impacting non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees, which were implemented in July 2011.

The sale of available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $62.1 million and consisted primarily of U.S. government agency bonds. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Corporation did not sell any available-for-sale investment securities. The Corporation did not realize any significant other-than-temporary impairment charges on its equity portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The Corporation carefully monitors all of its equity securities and has not taken impairment losses on certain other securities in an unrealized loss position, at this time, as the financial performance and near-term prospects of the underlying companies are not indicative of the market deterioration of their stock. The Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities and believes it is more likely than not, that it will not have to sell these securities until recovery to the Corporation’s cost basis occurs.

Noninterest Expense

The operating costs of the Corporation are known as non-interest expense, and include, but are not limited to, salaries and benefits, equipment expense, and occupancy costs. Expense control is very important to the management of the Corporation, and every effort is made to contain and minimize the growth of operating expenses, and to provide technological innovation whenever practical, as operations change or expand.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 versus 2011

Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $18.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 13% compared to the same period in 2011. Salaries and benefits expense increased $2.6 million primarily due to higher commissions related to increased mortgage banking activities, increased employee incentives, annual performance increases, and lower deferred loan origination costs. These increases were partially offset by a decline in deposit insurance premiums of $269 thousand mainly due to the amended assessment calculation requirement through the FDIC rule implemented April 1, 2011. The payment was formerly based on deposits whereas the rule change now bases the payment on the average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity. Marketing and advertising expense decreased by $270 thousand mostly due to timing of campaigns.

Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $946 thousand and $826 thousand, at effective rates of 15% and 18%, respectively. The effective tax rates reflect the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and bank-owned life insurance. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2012 is primarily due to the increase in bank-owned life insurance income from death benefit proceeds.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets decreased $14.7 million since December 31, 2011 primarily due to a decrease in investment securities partially offset by an increase in loans and leases. The following table presents the assets for the periods indicated:

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio is managed as part of the overall asset and liability management process to optimize income and market performance over an entire interest rate cycle while mitigating risk. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk, to take advantage of market conditions that create more economically beneficial returns on these investments, and to collateralize public funds deposits. The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government agencies, municipals, residential mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds.

Total investments decreased by $19.7 million at March 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. Maturities and pay-downs of $22.0 million, calls of $18.6 million, and sales of $62.1 million, were partially offset by purchases of $84.3 million.

Loans and Leases

Gross loans and leases increased by $13.4 million at March 31, 2012 as compared to December 31, 2011. Commercial loans increased $7.9 million and residential mortgage loans increased $7.0 million. While the Corporation continued to see increased loan activity in the first three months of 2012, overall credit demand and utilization of lines by businesses and consumers remained light as a result of the prolonged challenging economic environment.

Asset Quality

Performance of the entire loan and lease portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis by bank management and loan officers. A number of factors regarding the borrower, such as overall financial strength, collateral values and repayment ability, are considered in deciding what actions should be taken when determining the collectability of interest for accrual purposes.

When a loan or lease, including a loan or lease that is impaired, is classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest on such a loan or lease is discontinued. A loan or lease is typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan or lease is currently performing. A loan or lease may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan or lease is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans and leases is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal and is recognized on a cash basis.

Loans or leases are usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Total cash basis, troubled debt restructured loans, lease modifications and nonaccrual loans and leases totaled $43.6 million at March 31, 2012, $42.1 million at December 31, 2011, and $43.7 million at March 31, 2011; the balance at March 31, 2012 primarily consisted of commercial real estate, construction and commercial, financial and agricultural loans. The Corporation’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and leases and other real estate owned was 3.35% as of March 31, 2012, compared to 3.38% as of December 31, 2011 and 3.48% as of March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2012, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $42.8 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis or accruing trouble debt restructured. The related reserve for loan losses was $912 thousand. At December 31, 2011, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $41.2 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis or accruing trouble debt restructured. The related reserve for loan losses was $1.3 million. The amount of the specific reserve needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes in facts and judgments related to these credits. Specific reserves have been established based on current facts and management’s judgments about the ultimate outcome of these credits. Impaired loans at March 31, 2012 included one large Shared National Credit to a theatre with an outstanding balance of $7.1 million.

 

37


At March 31, 2012, the credit was secured with sufficient estimated collateral and therefore, there was no specific reserve on this credit. The theatre continues to be open and operating. In addition, impaired loans at March 31, 2012 included one large credit which went on non-accrual during the third quarter of 2009 and is for four separate facilities to a local commercial real estate developer/home builder, aggregating to $13.9 million at March 31, 2012. There is no specific allowance on this credit as the credit was secured with sufficient estimated collateral. The borrower does not have the resources to develop these properties; therefore, the properties must be sold. At March 31, 2011, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $42.7 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual basis or accruing trouble debt restructured. The related reserve for loan losses was $1.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, interest income that would have been recognized under the original terms for impaired loans was $558 thousand and $589 thousand, respectively. Interest income recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $63 thousand and $26 thousand, respectively

Other real estate owned decreased to $5.0 million, consisting of three properties, at March 31, 2012, down from $6.6 million at December 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, one property with a carrying value of $1.3 million was sold for $1.5 million resulting in a gain on sale of $210 thousand. In addition, one property was written down to its appraised value, resulting in an impairment charge of $241 thousand, which was included in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses

Management believes the reserve for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that is adequate as of March 31, 2012 to absorb probable losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management’s methodology to determine the adequacy of and the provisions to the reserve considers specific credit reviews, past loan and lease loss experience, current economic conditions and trends, and the volume, growth, and composition of the portfolio.

The reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a monthly evaluation of reserve adequacy. This analysis takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due loans and leases, current economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant changes in charge-off activity. Non-accrual loans and leases, and those which are troubled debt restructured, are evaluated individually. All other loans and leases are evaluated as pools. Based on historical loss experience, loss factors are determined giving consideration to the areas noted in the preceding paragraph and applied to the pooled loan and lease categories to develop the general or allocated portion of the reserve. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans’ initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans. Management also reviews the activity within the reserve to determine what actions, if any, should be taken to address differences between estimated and actual losses. Any of the above factors may cause the provision to fluctuate.

Wholesale leasing portfolios were purchased by the Bank’s subsidiary, Univest Capital, Inc. The Corporation discontinued the practice of purchasing wholesale leasing portfolios during 2010. Credit losses on these purchased portfolios are largely the responsibility of the seller up to pre-set dollar amounts initially equal to 10 to 20 percent of the portfolio purchase amount. The dollar amount of recourse for purchased portfolios is inclusive of cash holdbacks and purchase discounts. Purchased wholesale leasing portfolios outstanding equaled $2.1 million at March 31, 2012 and $3.0 million at December 31, 2011.

The reserve for loan and lease losses is based on management’s evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors, which deserve recognition in estimating loan and lease losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Additions to the reserve arise from the provision for loan and lease losses charged to operations or from the recovery of amounts previously charged off. Loan and lease charge-offs reduce the reserve. Loans and leases are charged off when there has been permanent impairment or when in the opinion of management the full amount of the loan or lease, in the case of non-collateral dependent borrowings, will not be realized. Certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The reserve for loan and lease losses consists of an allocated reserve and unallocated reserve categories. The allocated reserve is comprised of reserves established on specific loans and leases, and class reserves based on historical loan and lease loss experience, current trends, and management assessments. The unallocated reserve is based on both general economic conditions and other risk factors in the Corporation’s individual markets and portfolios.

 

39


The specific reserve element is based on a regular analysis of impaired commercial and real estate loans. For these loans, the specific reserve established is based on an analysis of related collateral value, cash flow considerations and, if applicable, guarantor capacity.

The class reserve element is determined by an internal loan and lease grading process in conjunction with associated allowance factors. The Corporation revises the class allowance factors whenever necessary, but no less than quarterly, in order to address improving or deteriorating credit quality trends or specific risks associated with a given loan or lease pool classification.

The Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are unfunded in categories with historical loss experience.

Management believes that, as of March 31, 2012, the reserve is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets have been recorded on the books of the Corporation in connection with acquisitions. The Corporation has covenants not to compete, intangible assets due to branch acquisitions, core deposit intangibles, customer-related intangibles and mortgage servicing rights, which are not deemed to have an indefinite life and therefore will continue to be amortized over their useful life using the present value of projected cash flows. The amortization of intangible assets was $500 thousand and $305 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Corporation also has goodwill with a net carrying amount of $53.2 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, which is deemed to be an indefinite intangible asset and is not amortized.

The Corporation completes a goodwill impairment analysis at least on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Identifiable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. There was no goodwill impairment and no material impairment to identifiable intangibles recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Since the last annual impairment analysis during 2011, there have been no circumstances to indicate impairment. There can be no assurance that future impairment assessments or tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

Other Assets

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank held $3.3 million in Federal Reserve Bank stock as required by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank is required to hold stock in the FHLB in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. The Bank held FHLB stock of $5.5 million and $5.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Additionally, the FHLB might require its members to increase its capital stock requirement. Effective February 28, 2011, the FHLB entered into a Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement with the other 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (collectively, the FHLBanks). The agreement calls for a plan for each FHLBank to build additional retained earnings and enhance capital. On August 5, and August 8, 2011, the Standard & Poor’s Rating Services downgraded the credit ratings of the U.S government and federal agencies, including the FHLB, respectively, from AAA to AA+, with a negative outlook. These recent downgrades, and any future downgrades in the credit ratings of the U.S. government and the FHLB could increase the borrowing costs of the FHLB and possibly have a negative impact on its operations and long-term performance. It is possible this could have an adverse effect on the value of the Corporation’s investment in the FHLB stock. However, based on current information from the FHLB, management believes that if there is any impairment in the FHLB stock it is temporary. Therefore, as of March 31, 2012, the FHLB stock is recorded at cost.

Liabilities

Total liabilities decreased $17.2 million since December 31, 2011 primarily due to a decrease in deposits. The following table presents the liabilities for the periods indicated:

Deposits

Total deposits decreased by $19.2 million from December 31, 2011 primarily due to decreases in interest bearing demand deposits of $24.2 million and time deposits of $15.4 million, partially offset by an increase in savings deposits of $16.6 million.

Borrowings

Long-term borrowings at March 31, 2012, included $1.5 million in Subordinated Capital Notes, and $20.6 million of Trust Preferred Securities. Short-term borrowings typically include securities sold under agreement to repurchase, federal funds purchased, Federal Reserve Bank discount window borrowings and short-term FHLB borrowings. At March 31, 2012, the Bank also had outstanding short-term letters of credit with the FHLB totaling $13.0 million, which were utilized to collateralize seasonal public funds deposits. Short-term borrowings increased mainly due to an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $7.3 million, and an increase in short term FHLB borrowings of $5.0 million, resulting from the re-class from long-term FHLB debt as the remaining term to maturity became one year or less.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2012 increased $2.5 million since December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to net income exceeding dividends declared and the vesting of restricted stock awards.

Retained earnings at March 31, 2012 were impacted by the three months of net income of $5.3 million offset by cash dividends declared of $3.3 million during the first three months of 2012. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was mainly a result of decreases in the fair values of municipal bonds and commercial mortgage obligations. Treasury stock decreased primarily due to shares issued for restricted stock awards.

Capital Adequacy

The Corporation and the Bank are 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 effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Capital adequacy guidelines, and additionally for the Bank the prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

 

41


Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management believes that the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The Corporation, like other bank holding companies, currently is required to maintain Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital (the sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital) equal to at least 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, of its total risk-weighted assets (including various off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit). The Bank, like other depository institutions, is required to maintain similar capital levels under capital adequacy guidelines. For a depository institution to be considered “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, its Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios must be at least 6.0% and 10.0% on a risk-adjusted basis, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate earnings, capital and liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers and corporate needs. Interest-rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing rates.

The Corporation uses both interest-sensitivity gap analysis and simulation techniques to quantify its exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses the gap analysis to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a simulation model to measure the short-term rate exposures. The Corporation runs various earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the effect of declining or rising interest rates on the net interest margin over a one-year

horizon. The simulation uses existing portfolio rate and re-pricing information, combined with assumptions regarding future loan and deposit growth, future spreads, prepayments on residential mortgages, and the discretionary pricing of non-maturity assets and liabilities.

Liquidity

The Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation’s ability to ensure that sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for loans and deposit withdrawals. The Corporation manages its liquidity risk by measuring and monitoring its liquidity sources and estimated funding needs. The Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial crisis.

Sources of Funds

Core deposits and cash management repurchase agreements (Repos) have historically been the most significant funding sources for the Corporation. These deposits and Repos are generated from a base of consumer, business and public customers primarily located in Bucks and Montgomery counties, Pennsylvania. The Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array of financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, security dealers and others.

The Corporation supplements its core funding with money market funds it holds for the benefit of various trust accounts. These funds are fully collateralized by the Bank’s investment portfolio and are at current money market mutual fund rates. This funding source is subject to changes in the asset allocations of the trust accounts.

The Corporation, through the Bank, has short-term and long-term credit facilities with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $370.0 million. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total outstanding short-term and long-term borrowings with the FHLB totaled $5.0 million. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank also had outstanding short-term letters of credit with the FHLB totaling $13.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, which were utilized to collateralize seasonal public funds deposits. The maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB changes as a function of qualifying collateral assets as well as the FHLB’s internal credit rating of the Bank, and the amount of funds received may be reduced by additional required purchases of FHLB stock.

The Corporation maintains federal fund lines with several correspondent banks totaling $82.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Future availability under these lines is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.

The Corporation, through the Bank, has an available line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the amount of which is dependent upon the balance of loans and securities pledged as collateral. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under this line.

Cash Requirements

The Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The most significant contractual obligation, in both the under and over one year time period, is for the Bank to repay its certificates of deposit. Short-term borrowings consisting of securities sold under agreement to repurchase constitute the next largest payment obligation. The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by continuing to provide convenient depository and cash management services through its branch network, thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar fund sources at rates that are competitive in our market.

Commitments to extend credit are the Bank’s most significant commitment in both the under and over one year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management is responsible for the disclosure controls and procedures of the Corporation. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be so disclosed by an issuer is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
