FOX CHASE BANCORP, INC

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION

 

Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) was organized on September 29, 2006 under the laws of the United States for the purpose of being a holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), a stock savings bank also organized under the laws of the United States.  On September 29, 2006, the Bancorp completed its initial public offering in which it sold 6,395,835 shares, or 43.57% of its outstanding common stock to the public, including 575,446 shares purchased by the Fox Chase Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”).  An additional 8,148,915 shares, or 55.51% of the Bancorp’s outstanding stock, were issued to Fox Chase MHC, the Bancorp’s federally chartered mutual holding company. Additionally, the Bancorp contributed $150,000 in cash and issued 135,000 shares, or 0.92% of its outstanding common stock, to the Fox Chase Bank Charitable Foundation.

 

The Bancorp’s primary business has been that of holding the common stock of the Bank and making a loan to the ESOP.   The Bancorp is authorized to pursue other business activities permissible by laws and regulations for other savings and loan holding companies.

 

The Bancorp and the Bank (collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide a wide variety of financial products and services to individuals and businesses through the Bank’s eleven branches in Philadelphia, Richboro, Willow Grove, Warminster, Lahaska, Hatboro, Media and West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Ocean City, Marmora and Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey.  In February 2009, the Bank increased its ownership in Philadelphia Mortgage Advisors, a mortgage banker located in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, from 20% to approximately 45%.  The operations of the Company are managed as a single business segment.  The Company competes with other financial institutions and other companies that provide financial services.

 

The Company is subject to regulations of certain federal banking agencies.  These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period.  The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory agencies which may subject them to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loan loss allowances and operating restrictions resulting from the regulators’ judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examinations.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and the Bank. The Bank’s operations include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fox Chase Financial, Inc. and Fox Chase Service Corporation.  Fox Chase Financial, Inc. is a Delaware chartered investment holding company and its sole purpose is to manage and hold investment securities.  Fox Chase Service Corporation is Pennsylvania chartered company and its sole purpose is to facilitate the Bank’s investment in Philadelphia Mortgage Advisors (“PMA”).  The consolidated financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Fox Chase MHC.  All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior period amounts are reclassified, when necessary, to conform with the current year’s presentation.

 

During 2009 and 2008, the Bank engaged in certain business activities with PMA.  These activities included providing a warehouse line of credit to PMA, as well as acquiring residential mortgage and home equity loans from PMA. The Bank recorded interest income from PMA on the warehouse line of $100,000 and $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as well as loan satisfaction fees, which are recorded in service charges and other fee income, from PMA of $31,000 and $6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  In addition, the Bank acquired total loans from PMA of $26 million and $44 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which includes the cost of the loans.

 

Real estate held for investment represents undeveloped land located in Absecon, New Jersey. This property is under an option to be sold no later than 2010, subject to certain conditions being met including zoning and land use approvals.

 

The Company follows accounting principles and reporting practices that are in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation and realizability of deferred tax assets and the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment and valuation of investment securities.

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION

 

These interim financial statements do not contain all necessary disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009.   These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments which management believes were necessary in order to conform to GAAP.  The results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

 

Per Share Information

 

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.  Unallocated shares in the ESOP and shares purchased to fund the Bancorp’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan are not included in either basic or diluted earnings per share.  Unvested shares in the Bancorp’s long-term incentive plan are not included in basic earnings per share.

 

The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (unaudited).

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE RELATED SECURITIES (CONTINUED)

 

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP FAS 115-2). FSP FAS 115-2 amends other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands disclosure requirements for other-than-temporarily impaired debt and equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 requires companies to record other-than-temporary impairment charges, through earnings, if they have the intent to sell, or will more likely than not be required to sell, an impaired debt security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, FSP FAS 115-2 requires companies to record other-than-temporary impairment charges through earnings for the amount of credit losses, regardless of the intent or requirement to sell. Credit loss is measured as the difference between the present value of an impaired debt security’s cash flows and its amortized cost basis. Non-credit related write-downs to fair value must be recorded as decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income as long as a company has no intent or requirement to sell an impaired security before a recovery of amortized cost basis. Finally, FSP FAS 115-2 requires companies to record all previously recorded non-credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges for debt securities as cumulative effect adjustments to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. FSP FAS 115-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the statement for the period ended June 30, 2009.  Since the Company did not have any other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2009, no cumulative effect adjustments were required at adoption.  See below discussion regarding the other-than-temporary credit impairment of the private label residential mortgage related security recorded at June 30, 2009.

 

The Company had one private label residential mortgage related security and six commercial mortgage related securities at June 30, 2009.  The Company evaluates current characteristics of each of its private label securities such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancement, projected losses and coverage, on a quarterly basis. It is possible that the underlying collateral of these securities will perform worse than current expectations, which may lead to adverse changes in cash flows on these securities and potential future other-than-temporary impairment losses. Events that may trigger material declines in fair values for these securities in the future would include but are not limited to deterioration of credit metrics, significantly higher levels of default and severity of loss on the underlying collateral, deteriorating credit enhancement and loss coverage ratios, or further illiquidity.

 

The private label residential mortgage related security had an amortized cost, prior to the identified credit related impairment, of $824,000 at June 30, 2009 and $889,000 at December 31, 2008.  Fair value for this security was $219,000 at June 30, 2009 and $269,000 at December 31, 2008.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, delinquency levels for the security’s underlying collateral increased to 20.2% from 13.8% at December 31, 2008, principal payment rate slowed to an annualized rate of 14.1% from 16.1% in 2008, and the security was downgraded from AAA to BB+.  As a result of these negative trends, management’s analysis indicated that the security had $157,000 of other-than-temporary credit impairment at June 30, 2009.  In accordance with FSP FAS 115-2, this amount of credit related impairment is recorded as a charge through earnings, regardless of the intent or requirement to sell a security.   As of June 30, 2009, after other-than-temporary impairment charges, the private label residential mortgage related security had an amortized cost of $667,000, a fair value of $219,000 with a remaining unrealized loss of $448,000.  The remaining unrealized loss is not considered other-than-temporary as management does not have the intention or requirement to sell this security.

 

The commercial mortgage related securities each have a credit rating of AAA and an amortized cost of $18.3 million and $10.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The securities had a gross unrealized loss of $1.2 million and $2.7 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Management believes the impairment on these securities is temporary based on the cash flows, credit rating, credit enhancement, structure of the underlying securities and management does not have the intention or requirement to sell the securities.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE RELATED SECURITIES (CONTINUED)

 

Additionally, management evaluates all other non-private label investment securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant. Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss represented an other-than-temporary impairment at June 30, 2009. Management believes the  temporary impairment on the securities classified as (a) state and political subdivisions and (b) corporate securities is directly related to the volatility, absence of liquidity in the fixed income markets and changes in market interest rates.  Finally, the temporary impairment on the agency residential mortgage related securities is directly related to changes in market interest rates.

 

Of the 36 securities with a temporary impairment at June 30, 2009, 24 have a rating of AAA.  The securities rated less than AAA are four corporate debt securities have a rating of A2 or higher, and eight state or political subdivision securities have a rating of Baa1 or higher.

 

Securities that have been impaired greater than twelve months are primarily the private label residential mortgage related security and three private label commercial mortgage related securities, which were identified and discussed in detail in the preceding paragraphs. The remaining securities impaired greater than twelve months are (a) state and political subdivisions and (b) corporate securities, the impairment of which was deemed temporary due to positive factors supporting the recoverability of these securities, and the Company does not have the intention to sell the securities. Positive factors considered include timely principal payments and the financial health of the issuer.

 

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 by contractual maturity are as follows (excluding mortgage related securities):

As of June 30, 2009, the Bank had one interest rate swap agreement that was entered into during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  The Bank had entered into a 15-year fixed rate commercial loan and the Bank’s risk management objective was to lock in the fair value of the loan.  The Bank met this objective by entering into a swap agreement to exchange fixed rate cash flows for variable rate cash flows. The swap is a fair-value hedge and the value of the swap is recorded as an adjustment to other assets in the Company’s Statements of Condition. The Bank has not entered into a swap since the June 2007 quarter and currently does not consider itself to be an active participant in the swap market.

 

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank’s one swap agreement had a notional amount of $1.2 million, which was earning interest at 7.43%.  The Company is receiving a variable rate payment of three-month LIBOR plus 2.24% and is paying a fixed rate payment of 7.43%. The swap matures in April 2022 and had a fair value loss position of $141,000 and $236,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

 

The loan is contractually current and the critical terms of the loan and the swap are a mirror image except that the loan includes a default interest rate clause.  Accordingly, the Company has determined the fair value of the gain position of the loan is equal to the market value loss position of the swap as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

At June 30, 2009, June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $817,000 (unaudited), $1.2 million (unaudited) and $836,000, respectively. The fair value at these dates was determined using a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates. Mortgage loan prepayment speed is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal and is based on historical experience and current interest rates. The discount rate used to determine the present value of future net servicing income - another key assumption in the model - is the required rate of return the market would expect for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally will, change quarterly valuations as market conditions and interest rates change.

 

During 2008, the Bank recorded a total valuation allowance of $133,000 on its MSRs, which was due to a significant decrease in interest rates for residential mortgages during the year resulting in assumed higher mortgage prepayments.  This valuation allowance was increased by $24,000 to $157,000 during the first quarter of 2009.  In the second quarter of 2009, the valuation allowance was decreased by $99,000 to $58,000 as a result of assumed slower prepayment speeds as of June 30, 2009.  The amount of the valuation adjustment is recorded as an adjustment to service charges and other fee income in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

For the borrowings that contractually mature in August 2011, if three-month LIBOR is greater than or equal to the Strike Rate, the FHLB can notify the Bank of its intention to convert the borrowing to an adjustable-rate advance equal to three-month LIBOR (0.60% at June 30, 2009) plus .2175% on a quarterly basis. If converted, the Bank has the option to repay these advances at each of the option dates without penalty. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

 

The borrowing that contractually matures in December 2013 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to either pay off the borrowing without penalty or the borrowing’s fixed rate resets to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.04%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowings are callable by the FHLB quarterly.  Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

 

The borrowing that contractually matures in December 2015 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to either pay off the borrowing without penalty or the borrowing’s fixed rate resets to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.12%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowings are callable by the FHLB quarterly.  Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

 

The borrowings that contractually mature in November 2017 may be called by the FHLB on the call dates disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to either pay off the borrowing without penalty or the borrowing’s fixed rate resets to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus .10%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowings are callable by the FHLB quarterly.  Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

 

The borrowing that contractually matures in December 2017 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to either pay off the borrowing without penalty or the borrowing’s fixed rate resets to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus .11%.  Subsequent to the call date, the borrowing is callable by the FHLB quarterly.  Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

 

The borrowing that contractually matures in December 2018 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to either pay off the borrowing without penalty or the borrowing’s fixed rate resets to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.14%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowings are callable by the FHLB quarterly.  Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

 

The Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of approximately $532.3 million at March 31, 2009, the latest date for which information is available.

 

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB in an amount of at least equal to 4.75% of its advances from the FHLB, plus 0.75% of the unused borrowing capacity.  The Bank was in compliance with this requirement with a stock investment in the FHLB of $9.8 million at June 30, 2009.

 

During December 2008, the FHLB announced that it does not intend to pay a dividend on its common stock for the foreseeable future.  Additionally, the FHLB indicated it would not redeem any common stock associated with member advance repayments and that it may increase its individual member stock investment requirements. The FHLB is permitted to increase the amount of capital stock required to be owned by an FHLB member to 6.00% of a member’s advances, plus 1.50% of the unused borrowing capacity.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s maximum stock obligation was $14.5 million.

 

Other Borrowed Funds

 

Other borrowed funds obtained from large commercial banks totaled $50.0 million at June 30, 2009.  These borrowings contractually mature with dates ranging from November 2014 through November 2018 and may be called by the lender based on the underlying agreements.  Subsequent to the call date, these borrowings are callable by the lender quarterly. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE

 

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

 

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

 

Level 2  – Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as 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 assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Valuations are observed from unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company classified three types of financial instruments as Level 3 as of June 30, 2009. The first instrument is a private label residential mortgage related security, the fair value of which, unlike U.S. agency mortgage related securities, is more difficult to determine because it is not actively traded in securities markets.  The second instruments are private label commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”), the fair value of which is also more difficult to determine because they are not actively traded in securities markets.  The third instrument is a loan, which was recorded at fair value when the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, since lending credit risk is not an observable input for this individual commercial loan (see Note 3).

 

As discussed in Note 2, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary credit impairment charge of $157,000 as of June 30, 2009.   The remaining unrealized loss, after the impairment charge, in the private label CMO was $448,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to $620,000 at December 31, 2008.  The unrealized loss in the private label CMBS portfolio was $1.1 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2008. The unrealized gain on the loan was $141,000 at June 30, 2009 compared to an unrealized gain of $236,000 at December 31, 2008.

 

The following table, which sets forth the Company’s fair value measurements at June 30, 2009, includes (1) investment securities and mortgage related securities available-for-sale; (2) the two financial instruments recorded at fair value in conjunction with the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008 and (3) tranches of MSRs recorded at fair value.

The Company utilizes an external third-party pricing service to perform evaluations on its investment portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.  The Company receives one value for each security and has made no adjustments to the values obtained from the pricing service at June 30, 2009.  The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the identified Level 1, 2 or 3 classifications on a recurring basis.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The following disclosures and schedules are disclosed in conjunction with the Company’s adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (See Note 10 — Accounting Pronouncements for further discussion) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

 

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

 

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. There has been no significant change in methodology for estimating fair value of the Company’s financial instruments since December 31, 2008.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

 

Investment and Mortgage Related Securities — Available-for-Sale

 

Fair values for investments securities and mortgage related securities available-for-sale are obtained from a third party pricing service and are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. If quoted market prices are not available for comparable securities, fair value is based on quoted bids for the security or comparable securities.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

The fair values of mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are based on current quoted market prices.

 

Loans Receivable

 

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and that entail no significant changes in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  The fair value of fixed rate and other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

 

The fair value of the Federal Home Loan Bank stock is estimated to be the carrying amount.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on third party estimates of value when available or the present value of expected future cash flows when not available.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

 

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

 

Deposit Liabilities

 

Fair values for demand deposits (including NOW accounts), savings and club accounts and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  Fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments with similar maturities.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowed Funds

 

Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available to the Bank for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (SFAS No. 165).  SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  The statement sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosure that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  SFAS No. 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.  The Company adopted this statement as of June 30, 2009 and such adoption did not have an impact on the results of operations or financial position.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 6, 2009.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”  FSP FAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  All publicly traded companies are required to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods.  FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted this statement as June 30, 2009 and has made the required disclosures in Note 8 of this Form 10-Q.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.”  FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities.  FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009.  As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted this statement as of June 30, 2009.  Since the Company has not had any other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2009, no cumulative-effect adjustments were required to be recorded at adoption.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly.”  FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.   The Company adopted this statement as of June 30, 2009 and such adoption did not have an impact on the results of operations or financial position.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS No. 161).  SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company adopted this statement in the first quarter of 2009.  The additional disclosure required regarding the Bank’s one interest rate swap agreement has been provided in Note 3 — Loans.

 

Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 amends the derecognition guidance in Statement 140 and eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”). SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Early adoption of SFAS 166 is prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS 166 on January 1, 2010 and has not yet determined the effect of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIE”s). An entity would consolidate a VIE, as the primary beneficiary, when the entity has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

Ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is required. SFAS 167 amends interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS 167 on January 1, 2010 and has not yet determined the effect of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”). This standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Statement establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Codification does not create new accounting and reporting guidance rather it reorganizes U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 topics within a consistent structure. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Relevant portions of authoritative content, issued by the SEC, for SEC registrants, have been included in the Codification. After the effective date of this Statement, all nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is superseded and deemed nonauthoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS 168 on September 30, 2009 and will update all disclosures to reference Codification in its September 30, 2009 quarterly report.

 

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area, changes in real estate market values in the Company’s market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and the inability of third party service providers to perform their functions.  Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2009, and its other Securities and Exchange Commission reports.

 

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: allowance for loan losses, valuation and other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and deferred income taxes.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level representing management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on management’s evaluation of the portfolio’s collectibility. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: probability of default, loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the size and composition of the portfolio, loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, trends and absolute levels of classified and criticized loans, trends and absolute levels in delinquent loans, trends in risk ratings, actual charge-offs, trends in industry charge-offs by particular segments and changes in local and national economic and business conditions.  Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the

Table of Contents

 

allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. Further, current economic conditions have increased the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.  In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

 

Valuation and Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and FASB Staff Position FAS 115-1 and 124-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” require companies to perform periodic reviews of individual securities in their investment portfolios to determine whether a decline in the value of a security is other-than-temporary. A review of other-than-temporary impairment requires companies to make certain judgments regarding the nature of the decline, its effect on the financial statements and the probability, extent and timing of a valuation recovery and the company’s intent to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold before recovery of its amortized cost. Pursuant to these requirements, we assess valuation declines to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (1) fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such as financial condition, business prospects or other factors, or (2) market-related factors, such as required market yields, interest rates or equity market declines. If the decline in the market value of a security is determined to be other-than-temporary, we reduce the book value of such security to its current market value, recognizing the decline as a realized loss on the income statement.  The Company recorded an other-than-temporary credit impairment charge of $157,000 during the second quarter of 2009.  See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a schedule that shows gross unrealized losses, fair value of securities as well as the impairment loss and other-than-temporary impairment write down, aggregated by security category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous realized loss position at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and Note 8 for discussion related to the determination of fair value.

 

Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Specifically, the Company had a charitable contribution carryover of $769,000 as of June 30, 2009, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $261,000.  The charitable contribution carryover was $999,000, with a resulting deferred tax asset of $340,000 as of December 31, 2008.  Utilization of this carryover is limited to 10% of taxable income on an annual basis. Such carryover will expire on December 31, 2011, if not utilized. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize this carryover it may require us to record a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset.  Any valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period, which would negatively affect earnings.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008

 

Total assets increased $238.4 million, or 25.6%, to $1.17 billion at June 30, 2009, compared to $931.3 million at December 31, 2008.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $101.3 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 as excess funds from deposit inflows were invested in interest-earning demand deposits in other banks and in money market funds.  Loans increased $35.6 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Commercial and commercial real estate loans increased $49.7 million as we continue our strategic initiative to increase our commercial loan portfolio, while commercial construction loans decreased by $14.8 million as we de-emphasized construction lending during the quarter. Additionally, our one- to four-family real estate loans increased $3.9 million offset by a $2.3 million decrease in consumer loans.  The modest increase in one-to four-family real estate loans was due to increased originations through our correspondent relationships, while the decrease in consumer loans was due to the Company’s decision to de-emphasize these types of loans in the current economic environment.  Mortgage related securities available-for-sale increased $88.2 million, primarily due to an increase in agency residential mortgage related securities.  Investment related securities available for sale increased $12.2 million, primarily due to an increase in corporate securities.  All of the increases in assets were directly funded by the increase in deposits.

 

Deposits increased $236.2 million, or 38.8%, from $608.5 at December 31, 2008 to $844.7 million at June 30, 2009. Money market accounts increased $57.8 million, or 57.0%, and certificates of deposits increased $175.0 million, or 46.8%, from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009.  During March 2009, the Bank offered attractive rates on selected money market and

certificate of deposit products to increase its market share in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market area resulting in approximately 6,500 new deposit accounts representing greater than $200 million in deposits, of which approximately 50% were new deposit customers.   In addition to the deposits obtained during the first quarter, the Bank continued to increase deposits during the second quarter of 2009 as it maintained competitively high rates on money market and certificate of deposit accounts during the period.  The Company intends to invest these funds in loans to qualified businesses and consumers.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $3.3 million to $124.5 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $121.2 million at December 31, 2008 primarily due to unrealized gains, net of taxes, on the investment portfolio of $4.3 million and net income of $899,000 offset by the repurchase of 266,589 shares of common stock at a cost of $2.6 million.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

 

General. Net income decreased $6,000, or 2.0%, to $298,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to a $536,000 increase in noninterest expense, a $342,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $24,000 increase in tax expense, offset by a $300,000 increase in net interest income and a $596,000 increase in other noninterest income.  Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included a special assessment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $536,000 as well as a $270,000 increase related to the current year assessment compared to the same quarter in the prior year.  Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included an expense of $244,000 associated with final distributions from the Company’s terminated pension plan in the second quarter of 2008.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily related to the gain on sale of securities of $588,000 in the second quarter of 2009 offset by an other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized on a private label residential mortgage related security in the amount of $157,000.  The Bank also reduced the valuation allowance on the mortgage servicing rights in the amount of $99,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Net income increased $250,000, or 38.5%, to $899,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $649,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million and an increase of $550,000 in noninterest income offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $765,000, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $562,000 and an increase in tax expense of  $139,000. The increase in noninterest income of $550,000 was primarily the result of a gain on the sale of securities of $588,000 in the second quarter of 2009 offset by an other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized on a private label residential mortgage related security in the amount of $157,000.  The Bank also had a net reduction in the valuation allowance on the mortgage servicing rights in the amount of $75,000. The increase in noninterest expense of $765,000 included a special assessment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $536,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as well as a $481,000 increase related to the current year assessment compared to the same period in the prior year.  Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included an expense of $297,000 associated with final distributions from the Company’s terminated pension plan in the second quarter of 2008.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $300,000, or 5.8%, to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared the same period in 2008 primarily due to an increase in total interest income of  $1.9 million offset by a $1.6 million increase in total interest expense. The increase in total interest income was primarily due to an increase in average total interest earning assets of $294.8 million, offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 5.34% to 4.60%. The increase in average balances of interest-earning assets was primarily due to: (1) an increase in the average balance of loans of $139.0 million year over year primarily related to the Company’s focus on increasing its levels of commercial lending; (2) an increase in the average balance of mortgage related securities of $82.3 million year over year and (3) an increase in the average balance of money market funds of $33.6 million and interest-earning demand deposits of $30.0 million year over year, both a result of excess funds from deposit inflows.  The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to a reduction in overall interest rates from 2008 to 2009 as well as a slight mix shift from higher yielding loans to interest earning deposits and money market funds.

 

The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $289.7 million offset by a decrease in the average cost on interest bearing-liabilities from 3.45% to 3.08%.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $233.8 million, an increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds of  $30.0 million as well as an increase of $25.9 million in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of the previously discussed promotion offered by the Bank in the first quarter of 2009 as well as maintaining competitively high rates on money market accounts throughout the second quarter. The decrease in average cost on interest bearing-liabilities was primarily due to reduction in overall interest rates from 2008 to 2009.

 

Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 11.6%, to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to an increase in total interest income of  $2.6 million offset by a $1.4 million increase in total interest expense. The increase in total interest income was primarily due to an increase in average total interest earning assets of $204.4 million, offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 5.41% to 4.83%.  The increase in average

balances of interest-earning assets was primarily due to: (1) an increase in the average balance of loans of $140.5 million year over year primarily related to the Company’s focus on increasing its levels of commercial lending; (2) an increase in the average balance of mortgage related securities of $57.1 million year over year and (3) an increase in the average balance of interest-earning demand deposits of $14.3 million and money market funds of $10.9 million year over year, both a result of excess funds from deposit inflows. The decrease in yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to a reduction in overall interest rates from 2008 to 2009 as well as a slight shift from higher yielding loans to interest earning deposits and money markets funds.

 

The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities of $200.7 million offset by a decrease in the average cost on interest bearing-liabilities from 3.59% to 3.11%.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $137.9 million, an increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $32.2 million as well as an increase of $30.5 million in the average balance of other borrowed funds.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily the result of the promotion offered by the Bank in the first quarter of 2009 as well as maintaining competitively high rates on money market accounts throughout the second quarter. The decrease in average cost on interest bearing-liabilities was primarily due to reduction in overall interest rates from 2008 to 2009.

 

The following table summarizes average balances and average yields and costs of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Yields are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Any adjustments necessary to present yields on a tax-equivalent basis are insignificant.

Table of Contents

 

Rate/Volume Analysis.  The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income.  The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by current volume).  The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate).  The net column represents the sum of the prior columns.  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $567,000 and $962,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively compared to $225,000 and $400,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  The increase in the provision reflected loan growth, primarily in commercial categories, and the increase in nonperforming, delinquent and internally classified loans in both the residential and commercial loan portfolios.

 

The following table provides information with respect to the Bank’s nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. There were no troubled debt restructurings as of the dates presented.

The increase in nonaccrual loans of $1.9 million to $7.7 million at June 30, 2009 from $5.9 million at December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of three commercial real estate loans totaling an aggregate $1.1 million and one commercial construction loan totalling $325,000 being placed on non-accrual status during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Each of these loans is secured by commercial real estate in the southern New Jersey area.  In addition, one- to four-family nonaccrual loans increased by $398,000 primarily due to one additional loan being placed on nonaccrual in the amount of $457,000 partially offset by a charge off of $91,000. Consumer nonaccrual loans increased by $9,000 due to one additional $69,000 loan placed on nonaccrual partially offset by a charge off of $60,000.  The two previously described charge-offs  relate to two loans to one borrower secured by a residential property in the southern New Jersey area.

 

At June 30, 2009, the largest nonaccrual loan was a $3.5 million construction loan collateralized by a residential housing development located in southern  New Jersey.

 

Impaired loans requiring an allowance for loan losses increased $1.3 million to $7.7 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2008.  The related allowance for loan losses associated with these loans was $1.1 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase was primarily due to classifying three new commercial loans as impaired in the amount of $912,000 plus $398,000 in new one- to four-family loans as impaired, offset by a $145,000 charge-off related to two loans to one borrower.  All impaired loans are also classified as nonperforming at June 30, 2009 and are discussed in the preceeding paragraphs.

Total delinquent loans increased to $7.1 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase was primarily due to increases in the one-to four-family real estate loan portfolio.  There are a total of 16 delinquent loans, the largest being a $4.3 million loan secured by a residential home located in central New Jersey.

Noninterest income increased $596,000, or 147.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.  Net investment securities gains increased $383,000 during the second quarter of 2009 as the Bank recognized a gain of $588,000 on the sale of securities offset by an other-than-temporary credit impairment loss recognized on a private label residential mortgage related security in the amount of $157,000.  Net investment security gains totaled $48,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008.  Service charges and other fee income increased by $86,000 primarily as a result of the Bank reducing the valuation allowance on its mortgage servicing rights by $99,000.  Other income increased $129,000 during the three-month period as a result of the Bank recording earnings of $125,000 on its investment in Philadelphia Mortgage Advisors, Inc., which was caused by a higher volume of residential loan refinancings during the quarter due to historically low level of long term interest rates.

Noninterest expense increased by $536,000, or 10.8%, and $765,000, or 7.9%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008.  The increase in both the three and six months included an FDIC special assessment of $536,000 incurred in the second quarter of 2009.  In addition, both the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 included an expense of $244,000 and $297,000, respectively, associated with final distributions from the Company’s terminated pension plan in the second quarter of 2008.

 

The largest changes for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 were (1) an increase in FDIC premiums of $806,000, primarily due to (a) the special assessment mentioned above, (b) an increase in the average deposit balances, (c) the FDIC insurance assessment rate increased eight basis points to thirteen basis points at June 30, 2009 and (d) the Bank’s FDIC insurance credit from the prior year was fully utilized during the fourth quarter of 2008 and (2) a decrease in salaries and benefits expense of $149,000 primarily due to the $244,000 of expense in the three month period ended June 30, 2008 associated with final distributions from the Company’s terminated pension plan offset by normal increases in salaries.  Additional changes in noninterest expense included a reduction of furniture and equipment expense of $47,000, primarily as a result of certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in 2009, and a reduction of marketing expense of $39,000 due to reduced promotional offers and advertising performed during 2009.

 

The largest changes for the six month period were (1) an increase in FDIC premiums of $1.0 million, primarily due to (a) the  special assessment mentioned above, (b) an increase in the average deposit balances, (c) the FDIC insurance assessment rate increased by eight basis points to thirteen basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and (d) the Bank’s FDIC insurance credit from the prior year was fully utilized during the fourth quarter of 2008 and (2) a decrease in salaries and benefits expense of $97,000 primarily due to the $297,000 of expense in the six month period ended June 30, 2008 associated with final distributions from the Company’s terminated pension plan offset by normal increases in salaries.  Additional changes in noninterest expense included a reduction of marketing expense of $50,000 due to reduced promotional offers and advertising performed during 2009 and a reduction of furniture and equipment expense of $42,000 primarily as a result of certain fixed assets becoming fully depreciated in 2009.

Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $83,000 and $284,000, respectively, compared to $59,000 and $145,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.   The Company’s effective income tax rate was 21.8% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to 16.3% and 18.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  These rates reflect the Company’s levels of tax-exempt income for both periods relative to the overall level of taxable income.

 

Liquidity and Capital Management

 

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, securities repayments, maturities and sales. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loans and securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy. We use a variety of measures to assess our liquidity needs, which are provided to our Asset/Liability Management Committee on a regular basis.

 

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents totaled $105.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $395.2 million at June 30, 2009. In addition, at March 31, 2009, the latest date available, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $532.3 million from the FHLB. On June 30, 2009, we had $144.3 million of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB as well as $50.0 million of borrowings outstanding with another financial institution.

 

At June 30, 2009, we had $105.4 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $10.7 million of mortgage loan commitments, $21.1 million in unused home equity lines of credit, $5.2 million in consumer loans, $68.3 million in commercial loan commitments and $50,000 in standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2009 totaled $222.6 million, or 40.6% of total certificates of deposit, at June 30, 2009.  The percentage of certificates of deposit due within one year declined to 40.6% from 53.5% at December 31, 2008 as a result of the Company’s certificate of deposit promotion which attracted a greater portion of certificates of deposit with a term of eighteen months or longer. If

these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2010. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of these certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

 

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase and sale of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts, FHLB advances and other borrowed funds.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

 

The following table presents our primary investing and financing activities during the periods indicated and does not include loans originated and held for sale.

The Bancorp is a separate entity and apart from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Bancorp is responsible for the payment of declared dividends to stockholders, of which through June 30, 2009 no dividends have been paid. At times, the Bancorp has repurchased its common stock. As of June 30, 2009, the Bancorp had $13.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.  Substantially all of the Bancorp’s cash and cash equivalents was obtained from proceeds it retained from its initial public offering in 2006.  The Bancorp can receive dividends from the Bank.  Payment of such dividends to the Bancorp by the Bank is limited under federal law. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year, without prior approval from the regulatory agency, cannot exceed the net profits (as defined) for the year plus the preceding two calendar years. The Bancorp believes that such restriction will not have an impact on the Bancorp’s ability to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

 

Capital Management. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2009, the Bank exceeded all of regulatory capital requirements and was considered a “well capitalized” institution under regulatory guidelines.

 

The following table presents the Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum capital requirements to be considered ‘‘well capitalized” by the OTS as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Total stockholders’ equity to total assets was 10.6% at June 30, 2009, 13.0% at December 31, 2008 and 14.2% at June 30, 2008.  As a result of Fox Chase Bancorp’s initial public offering in 2006, the Company has significant capital. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been enhanced by the capital from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets.  However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the offering has had an adverse impact on our return on equity.  The Company may use capital management tools such as cash dividends and share repurchases as well as improving operating income to increase its return on equity.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2009, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

At June 30, 2009, there has not been any material change to the market risk disclosure from that contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In addition, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business.  We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  As of June 30, 2009, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
