Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in March 2010 to be the successor corporation to old Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (“Old Fox Chase Bancorp”), a federal corporation and the former stock holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), upon completion of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Fox Chase MHC, the former mutual holding company for Fox Chase Bank.
 
The Bancorp’s primary business is holding the common stock of the Bank and making two loans to the Fox Chase Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP").  The Bancorp is authorized to pursue other business activities permissible by laws and regulations for 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.  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 Bank also owns approximately 45% of Philadelphia Mortgage Advisors (“PMA”), a mortgage banker located in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania and Ocean City, New Jersey.
 
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.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the regulation and supervision of federal savings institutions, such as the Bank, was transferred from the Office of Thrift Supervision to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the agency that regulates national banks, in July 2011.  As a result, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary responsibility for examining the Bank and implementing and enforcing many of the laws and regulations applicable to federal savings associations.  In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, savings and loan holding companies, such as the Bancorp, are now regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
 
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., Fox Chase Service Corporation, 104 S. Oakland Ave., LLC and Davisville Associates, LLC.  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 a Pennsylvania-chartered company and its purposes are to facilitate the Bank’s investment in PMA and, for regulatory purposes, to hold commercial loans.  At June 30, 2013, Fox Chase Service Corporation held $20.0 million in commercial loans.  104 S. Oakland Ave., LLC is a New Jersey-chartered limited liability company formed to secure, manage and hold foreclosed real estate.  Davisville Associates, LLC is a Pennsylvania-chartered limited liability company formed to secure, manage and hold foreclosed real estate.  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 2013 and 2012, 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 $185,000 and $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as well as loan satisfaction fees, which are recorded in service charges and other fee income, from PMA of $27,000 and $28,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  In addition, the Bank acquired total loans from PMA of $11.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which includes the cost of the loans.  The Bank did not acquire any loans from PMA during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

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

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation and realizability of deferred tax assets, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment and the valuation of investment securities and assets acquired through foreclosure.

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 13, 2013.   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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other period.
 
Per Share Information
 
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 Equity Incentive Plans are not included in either basic or diluted earnings per share.
 
The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE RELATED SECURITIES (CONTINUED)

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company sold four mortgage related securities with an amortized cost of $2.5 million and recognized gross gains of $171,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company sold seven mortgage related securities with an amortized cost of $9.0 million and recognized gross gains of $532,000.
 
The Company evaluates a variety of factors when concluding whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and purpose of the security, the underlying rating of the issuer, and the presence of credit enhancements.
 
At June 30, 2013, gross unrealized losses totaled $7.9 millionOne corporate security, with a fair value of $3.0 million and an unrealized loss position of $23,000, had an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of June 30, 2013.  This security has a rating of “Baa2”.  The remaining securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013 have been in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months.  These securities consist of: 1) one corporate security with a fair value of $2.6 million, unrealized loss of $2,000 and a rating of "A2" and 2) 96 agency residential mortgage related securities whose fair value primarily fluctuates with changes in market conditions for the underlying securities and changes in the interest rate environment.  The fair value of these agency residential mortgage related securities totaled $262.7 million and the unrealized loss totaled $7.8 million. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity.  Upon review of the attributes of the individual securities, the Company concluded these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
As of June 30, 2013, the Company held two private label commercial mortgage related securities ("CMBS") with an amortized cost of $2.2 million.  These securities had a net unrealized gain of $14,000 at June 30, 2013 and both individual securities were held at an unrealized gain.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company held three private label CMBS with an amortized cost of $6.1 million.  These securities had a net unrealized gain of $78,000 at December 31, 2012 and all individual securities were held at an unrealized gain.
 
The Company evaluates current characteristics of each of these private label securities such as delinquency and foreclosure levels, credit enhancement, projected losses, coverage and actual and projected cash flows, 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $18.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively.  The interest income recognized on these impaired loans was $211,000 and $168,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $10.0 million at June 30, 2013 and $17.1 million at December 31, 2012.  If interest on such loans had been recorded in accordance with contractual terms, interest income would have increased by $374,000 and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively.  There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

At June 30, 2013, six troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), totaling $5.0 million, are excluded from the accruing TDR column above as they are included in the nonaccrual loans column.  Of this amount, $4.3 million relates to two construction loans.  The Bank has commitments of $423,000 to lend additional funds related to these construction loans.  Additionally, the Bank had four residential loan TDRs totaling $689,000 which are included in the nonaccrual loans and total impaired loans columns.
 
At December 31, 2012, seven TDRs totaling $6.9 million are excluded from the accruing TDR column as they are included in nonaccrual loans and total impaired loans columns.

The Company may, under certain circumstances, restructure loans as a concession to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulty, which result in a TDR.  TDRs are impaired loans.  TDRs typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities, which, among other activities, could include extension of maturity, rate reductions, payment extension, and/or principal forgiveness.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Bank had fourteen TDRs, totaling $14.3 million. At June 30, 2013, twelve of these TDRs, totaling $11.8 million, remained. These TDRs consisted of:
two construction loans totaling $4.3 million.
four multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaling $6.8 million.
five residential loans totaling $696,000.
one consumer loan totaling $14,000.

In addition, there was one new residential loan TDR during the six months ended June 30, 2013, which totaled $450,000 at June 30, 2013. The Bank agreed to modified terms with the borrower, which included delayed repayment of principal and interest. The Bank had thirteen TDRs totaling $12.3 million at June 30, 2013.

We use six primary classifications for loans: pass, pass watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss, of which three classifications are for problem loans: substandard, doubtful and loss. “Substandard loans” must have one or more well defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful loans” have the weaknesses of substandard loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.  A loan classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a loan of the institution is not warranted.  We also maintain a “special mention” category, described as loans which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention.  If we classify an asset as loss, it is recorded as a loan charged off in the current period.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
 
Interest Rate Swaps
 
On November 3, 2006, the Company entered an interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $914,000, which is used to hedge a 15-year fixed rate loan that is earning interest at 7.43%.  The Company is receiving variable rate payments of one-month LIBOR plus 224 basis points and is paying fixed rate payments of 7.43%.  The swap matures in April 2022 and had a fair value loss position of $154,000 and $203,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The interest rate swap is carried at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”  The loan is carried at fair value under the fair value option as permitted by FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments.”
 
On October 12, 2011, the Company entered an interest rate swap with a current notional amount of $1.5 million, which is used to hedge a 10-year fixed rate loan that is earning interest at 5.83%.  The Company is receiving variable rate payments of one-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points and is paying fixed rate payments of 5.83%.  The Company designated this relationship as a fair value hedge.  The swap matures in October 2021 and had a fair value loss position of $15,000 and $105,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The difference between changes in the fair values of the interest rate swap agreement and the hedged loan represents hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded in other non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.  Hedge ineffectiveness resulted in income of $10,000 and a loss of $13,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Hedge ineffectiveness resulted in income of $14,000 and a loss of $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Credit Derivatives
 
We have entered into agreements with a third-party financial institution whereby the financial institution enters into interest rate derivative contracts and foreign currency swap contracts with customers referred to them by us.  By the terms of the agreements, the financial institution has recourse to the Company for any exposure created under each swap contract in the event the customer defaults on the swap agreement and the agreement is in a paying position to the third-party financial institution.  These transactions represent credit derivatives and are a customary arrangement that allows financial institutions like us to provide access to interest rate and foreign currency swap transactions for our customers without creating the swap ourselves.  The Company records the fair value of credit derivatives in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of condition.   The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of credit derivatives, net of any fees received, as service charges and other fee income in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
At June 30, 2013, there were five variable-rate to fixed-rate interest rate swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and our customers with a notional amount of $19.8 million, and remaining maturities ranging from 6 to 10 years.  At December 31, 2012, there were four variable-rate to fixed-rate interest swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and our customers with a notional amount of $13.3 million, and remaining maturities ranging from 7 to 10 years.  The fair value of the swaps to the customers was an asset of  $751,000 and a liability of $213,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and all swaps were in receiving positions from the third-party financial institution at June 30, 2013.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap credit derivatives was a liability of $7,000 and $12,000, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized income of $5,000 and $2,000, respectively, from interest rate swap credit derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized income of $6,000 and $2,000, respectively, from interest rate swap credit derivatives.
 
At June 30, 2013, there were two foreign currency swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and our customers with a notional amount aggregating approximately $150,000, and remaining maturity of 5 months.  The aggregate fair value of these swaps to the customers was a liability of $1,000 as of June 30, 2013.  At June 30, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s credit derivatives was $0.  At December 31, 2012, there were no foreign currency swap transactions between the third-party financial institution and our customers.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized income of $0 and $6,000, respectively, from foreign currency swap credit derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized income of $2,000 and $29,000, respectively, from foreign currency swap credit derivatives.
 
The maximum potential payments by the Company to the financial institution under these credit derivatives are not estimable as they are contingent on future interest rates and exchange rates, and the agreement does not provide for a limitation of the maximum potential payment amount.

At June 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $169,000, $170,000 and $245,000, 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 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.

For the borrowings which have a “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 LIBOR based rate, as noted in the above table.  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 had a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh of approximately $384.4 million at June 30, 2013.  Additionally, as of June 30, 2013, the Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity of $53.2 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia through the Discount Window.
 
As a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh in an amount equal to at least 4.60% of its advances plus 0.35% of the Bank’s “eligible assets,” as such term is defined by the FHLB; and a maximum amount of 6.00% of its advances plus 1.0% of the Bank’s “eligible assets.”  As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s minimum stock obligation was $8.7 million and a maximum stock obligation was $14.7 million.  The Company held $9.6 million in FHLB stock at that date.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE
 
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 the respective quarter 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 quarter end.
 
The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using three levels of input:
 
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 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

Investment and Mortgage Related Securities—Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity
 
Fair values for investment securities and mortgage related securities are obtained from one external pricing service (“primary pricing service”) as the provider of pricing on the investment portfolio on a quarterly basis.  We generally obtain one quote per investment security.  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.  We review the estimates of fair value provided by the primary pricing service to determine if they are representative of fair value based upon our general knowledge of market conditions and relative changes in interest rates and the credit environment.  The Company made no adjustments to the values obtained from the primary pricing service.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale, which equals their amortized cost, is based upon executed sales agreements with third party purchasers.

Loans Receivable, Net
 
To determine the fair values of loans that are not impaired, we employ discounted cash flow analyses that use interest rates and terms similar to those currently being offered to borrowers.  We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  We record fair value adjustments to loans on a nonrecurring basis to reflect full and partial charge-offs due to impairment.  For impaired loans, we use a variety of techniques to measure fair value, such as using the current appraised value of the collateral, agreements of sale, discounting the contractual cash flows, and analyzing market data that we may adjust due to specific characteristics of the loan or collateral.
 
FHLB Stock
 
The fair value of the FHLB stock is assumed to equal its cost, since the stock is nonmarketable but redeemable at its par value.



25


NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)

Mortgage Servicing Rights
 
The fair value of the MSRs for these periods 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.
 
Financial Assets Acquired from Debtors
 
The fair value of financial assets acquired from debtors are determined using valuations obtained from a third party valuation firm who utilizes a discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the assets.  The significant assumptions used in the valuation are the life expectancies of the insured parties, future premium payments and discount rates.
 
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, including brokered deposits, are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments with similar maturities.
 
Short-term Borrowings, FHLB Advances and Other Borrowed Funds
 
Fair value of short-term borrowings, FHLB 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.
 
Derivative Contracts
 
The fair values of derivative contracts are based upon the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreements, taking into account underlying interest rates, creditworthiness of underlying customers for credit derivatives and, when appropriate, the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

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 creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Private label CMBS, the fair value of which are difficult to determine because they are not actively traded in securities markets.  The net unrealized gain in the private label CMBS portfolio was $14,000 and $78,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Two commercial loans, since lending credit risk is not an observable input for these loans (see Note 4).  The unrealized gain on the two loans was $305,000 at June 30, 2013 compared to $293,000 at December 31, 2012.

Financial assets acquired from debtors, which are valued using a discounted cash flow model which contains significant unobservable inputs.  Losses resulting from changes in fair value, totaling $3.2 million, for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, were recorded in assets acquired through foreclosure expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Credit derivatives are valued based on creditworthiness of the underlying borrower which is a significant unobservable input.  The liability resulting from credit derivatives was $7,000 at June 30, 2013 and $12,000 at December 31, 2012.

(1)          Such financial instruments are recorded at fair value as further described in Note 4.

The following measures were made on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
 
Loans, which were partially charged off at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The loans’ fair values are based on Level 3 inputs, which are either an appraised value or a sales agreement, less costs to sell.  These amounts do not include fully charged-off loans, because we carry fully charged-off loans at zero on our balance sheet.
 
MSRs, the fair value of which 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.
 
Other real estate owned, for which we used Level 3 inputs, which consist of appraisals or agreements of sale.  Other real estate owned is initially recorded on our balance sheet at fair value, net of costs to sell, when we obtain control of the property.

NOTE 10 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01-Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company has adopted this update and has determined it does not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures as the Company does not have any enforceable master netting arrangements or instruments that are offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45.

ASU No. 2013-02-Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. For the Company, the update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, but did result in revised presentation on the consolidated statements of operations of the items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

ASU No. 2013-10-Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits the Fed funds effective swap rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate, in addition to the U.S. Treasury rate and LIBOR, for hedge accounting purposes. The ASU also permits using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This ASU is effective immediately and may only be applied on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The impact of adopting this ASU is not material to the Company.

ASU No. 2013-11-Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). As a result of applying this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or other tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The assessment of whether settlement is available under the tax law would be based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet reporting date and would not consider future events (e.g., upcoming expiration of related NOL carryforwards). This classification should not affect an entity's analysis of the realization of its deferred tax assets. Gross presentation in the rollforward of unrecognized tax positions in the notes to the financial statements would still be required. For the Company, the update is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is permitted. The impact of adopting this ASU will not be material to the Company.

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 subsidiaries 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 sections titled “Risk Factors”

30


in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2013, 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.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level representing management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in the portfolio, based upon management’s evaluation of the portfolio’s collectability.  Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of an allowance on impaired loans and a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the portfolio.  Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for losses on the entire portfolio.

Loans are deemed impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all proceeds due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or when a loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent.  The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses in the amount of the difference between fair value of the impaired loan and the loan’s carrying amount.
 
We establish a general allowance for loans that are not considered impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities.  This general valuation allowance is determined by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and assigning percentages, known as loss factors, to each category.  The percentages are adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.  These significant factors include the size and composition of the loan portfolio, the Company’s loss experience by particular segment, trends and absolute levels of nonperforming loans, trends and absolute levels of classified and criticized loans, trends and absolute levels in delinquent loans, trends in risk ratings, trends in industry charge-offs and changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our lending areas and the national economy.  These loss factors are subject to ongoing evaluation to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.  We perform this systematic analysis of the allowance on a quarterly basis.  These criteria are analyzed and the allowance is developed and maintained at the segment level.
 
Additional risk is associated with the analysis of the allowance for loan losses as such evaluations are highly subjective, and future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on their judgments at the time of their examination.
 
Deferred Income Taxes.  We use the asset and liability method of 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.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  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.
 
Valuation and Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities.  Investment securities are reviewed quarterly to determine whether the fair value is below the current carrying value.  When the fair value of any of our investment securities has

31


declined below its current carrying value, management is required to assess whether the decline is other-than-temporary.  A review of other-than-temporary impairment requires companies to make certain judgments regarding the nature of the decline, and the probability, extent and timing of a valuation recovery and our 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, the credit portion of the impairment is written down through earnings and the non-credit portion is an adjustment to other comprehensive income.
 
Valuation of Assets Acquired Through Foreclosure.  Assets acquired through foreclosure consist of other real estate owned and financial assets acquired from debtors.  Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs.  The fair value of other real estate owned is determined using appraisals obtained from approved independent appraisers or agreements of sale, where applicable.  Financial assets acquired from debtors are carried at fair value under the fair value option in accordance with FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”.  The fair value of financial assets acquired from debtors is determined using valuations obtained from a third party valuation firm who utilizes a discounted cash flow model. Changes in the fair value of assets acquired through foreclosure at future reporting dates or at the time of disposition will result in an adjustment in assets acquired through foreclosure expense or net gain (loss) on sale of assets acquired through foreclosure, respectively.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012
 
Total assets were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  Total loans were $701.1 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of $17.2 million, or 2.5%, from $683.9 million at December 31, 2012.  Total commercial loans increased $41.4 million, or 8.2%, comprised of increases of $32.0 million in multi-family and commercial real estate loans and $24.7 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $15.3 million in commercial construction loans.  One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $18.4 million and consumer loans decreased $6.2 million due to normal amortization exceeding new loans originated.  The increase in total commercial loans is consistent with the Company’s focus on growing its commercial business portfolio.  Total investments were $347.7 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of $23.3 million, or 7.2%, from $324.5 million at December 31, 2012.  The increase was primarily from purchases of residential mortgage related securities.
 
Deposits increased $13.2 million, or 1.9%, from $687.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $700.6 million at June 30, 2013.  From December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, noninterest-bearing demand accounts increased $18.5 million, brokered deposits increased $11.0 million and NOW accounts increased $9.0 million.  Offsetting these increases were decreases in non-brokered certificates of deposit of $17.0 million and money market accounts of $8.2 million.  The increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts is primarily due to deposits obtained from commercial borrowing relationships. The increase in brokered deposits is the result of the Company’s decision to continue to utilize this source of relatively low-cost funding.  The Company had brokered deposits of $61.7 million at June 30, 2013 with a weighted average rate of 0.47%.  The increase in NOW accounts is driven by increases in the Company’s Advantage Checking product.  The decrease in certificates of deposit and money market deposits is primarily due to the Company not offering pricing promotions and instead maintaining its rates at the midpoint of the market.  FHLB advances increased $30.0 million, or 27.3%, from $110.0 million at December 31, 2012 to $140.0 million at June 30, 2013 due to incremental term borrowings during 2013.
 
Stockholders’ equity decreased $8.0 million to $173.4 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $181.5 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to stock repurchases of $3.7 million, dividends paid of $1.4 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.9 million, offset by net income of $2.9 million and stock-based compensation activity of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
 
General.  Net income increased $505,000, or 93.7%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $539,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in net income was due to decreases in the provision for loan losses of $2.1 million and noninterest expense of $392,000 and an increase in net interest income of $196,000, offset primarily by a decrease in noninterest income of $1.9 million and an increase in income tax expense of $216,000.

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 66.3%, to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase in net income was due to decreases in the provision for loan losses of $2.7 million and noninterest expense of $357,000 and an increase in net interest income of $129,000, offset primarily by a decrease in noninterest income of $1.6 million and an increase in income tax expense of $469,000.

32


Net Interest Income Net interest income increased $196,000, or 2.6%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2012, primarily due to a decrease in total interest expense of $782,000 offset by a decrease in total interest income of $586,000.  The decrease in total interest expense was due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.55% to 1.01% offset by a $71.6 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the average cost of borrowings from 3.18% to 1.67% and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 1.16% to 0.79%.  The decrease in the average cost of borrowings is primarily due to the termination of FHLB advances and other borrowed funds, totaling $56.3 million, with an average cost of funds of 3.50%, during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits reflects a reduction in the overall interest rate environment during 2011, 2012 and the first half of 2013 coupled with maturities of higher rate certificates of deposit and reduced rates on other deposit products. The decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets from 4.34% to 3.80% offset by a $82.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.  The decrease in yield was primarily due to decreases in the yields on total loans from 5.08% to 4.65% and mortgage-related securities from 2.78% to 2.12%.  The decrease in yield reflects a reduction in the overall interest rate environment during 2011, 2012 and the first half of 2013.  The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $49.3 million increase in mortgage-related securities and a $36.9 million increase in total loans. 

Net interest income increased $129,000, or 0.8%, to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $15.7 million for the same period in 2012, primarily due to a decrease in total interest expense of $1.8 million offset by a decrease in total interest income of $1.7 million.  The decrease in total interest expense was due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.59% to 1.02% offset by a $59.1 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.  The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to a decrease in the average cost of borrowings from 3.18% to 1.66% and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits from 1.20% to 0.80%.  The decrease in the average cost of borrowings is primarily due to the termination of FHLB advances and other borrowed funds, totaling $56.3 million, with an average cost of funds of 3.50%, during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits reflects a reduction in the overall interest rate environment during 2011, 2012 and the first half of 2013 coupled with maturities of higher rate certificates of deposit and reduced rates on other deposit products. The decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets from 4.36% to 3.80% offset by a $69.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.  The decrease in yield was primarily due to decreases in the yields on total loans from 5.16% to 4.69% and mortgage-related securities from 2.83% to 2.13%.  The decrease in yield reflects a reduction in the overall interest rate environment during 2011, 2012 and the first half of 2013.  The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $49.2 million increase in mortgage-related securities and a $27.2 million increase in total loans.

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 (credit) for loan losses of ($783,000) and ($143,000) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease in provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to: (1) reduced provision related to nonperforming loans; (2) a reduction in nonperforming loans and criticized and classified loans; and (3) a reduction in general reserve loss factors for commercial and industrial loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company has experienced significant growth in its commercial and industrial segment of its loan portfolio since a middle market lending team was hired in the second half of 2009.  Initially, the general reserve loss factors for this segment were based on industry loss data and management judgment.  Beginning in 2012, such loss factors for this segment were based on actual Company loss experience adjusted by qualitative risk adjustment factors.  The strong credit performance of this segment, evidenced by the fact that the Company has experienced no loan charge-offs in this segment since December 31, 2011, has resulted in a decrease in the qualitative risk adjustment factors used in developing the general reserve loss factors during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Noninterest income decreased $1.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2013. Net gain on sale of investment securities decreased $2.2 million due to the sale of $72.9 million of investment securities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the sale of $2.5 million of investment securities during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in net gain on sale of assets acquired through foreclosure of $87,000. Service charges and other fee income increased $77,000, primarily due to increases in loan-related fees of $30,000 and deposit related fees of $47,000.  Equity in earnings of affiliate increased $45,000 due to increased income on the Bank’s investment in PMA as a result of higher mortgage loan volume. 

Noninterest income decreased $1.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2013. Net gain on sale of investment securities decreased $1.8 million due to the sale of $72.9 million of investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the sale of $9.1 million of investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in equity in earnings of affiliate of $100,000 due to increased income on the Bank’s investment in PMA as a result of higher mortgage loan volume.  Net gain on sale of assets acquired through foreclosure increased $54,000. Service charges and other fee income increased $49,000, primarily due to an increase in deposit related fees of $51,000.

Noninterest expense decreased $392,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2013. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.0 million due to the extinguishment of debt totaling $56.3 million related to the termination of FHLB advances and other borrowed funds during the three months ended June 30, 2012. No debt was extinguished during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Data processing costs decreased $105,000 primarily due to the renegotiation of a data processing contract that became effective in January 2013. These decreases were offset by an increase in assets acquired through foreclosure expense of $2.8 million, which related to an increase in valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure.  Valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, which was primarily driven by a $2.9 million valuation adjustment on insurance policies as the Company's quarterly valuation incorporated updated life expectations of the insured parties obtained during the three months ended June 30, 2013. No valuation adjustments were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Salaries, benefits and other compensation increased $127,000, or 3.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of increased staffing costs. 

Noninterest expense decreased $357,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2013. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.0 million due to the extinguishment of debt totaling $56.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. No debt was extinguished during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Professional fees decreased $182,000 primarily due to lower loan work-out expense. Data processing costs decreased $153,000 primarily due to the renegotiation of a data processing contract that became effective in January 2013. These decreases were offset by an increase in assets acquired through foreclosure expense of $2.9 million, which related to an increase in valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure.  Valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure totaled $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, which was primarily driven by a $3.2 million valuation adjustment on insurance policies as the Company's quarterly valuations incorporated updated life expectations of the insured parties obtained during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Valuation adjustments on assets acquired through foreclosure for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $45,000.  Salaries, benefits and other compensation increased $293,000, or 4.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily as a result of increased staffing costs. 
 
Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $438,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to $222,000 and $794,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.  The Bancorp’s effective income tax rate was 29.6% and 30.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to 29.2% and 31.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 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 and sales, securities repayments, maturities and sales and funds available from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loans and securities sales and prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The following table presents certain of our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets and short-term borrowing position based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) cash flows on our loans and investments; (4) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (5) 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 policy is to maintain net liquidity of at least 50% of our funding obligations over the next month.  Additionally, our policy is to maintain an amount of cash and short-term marketable securities equal to at least 15% of net deposits and liabilities that will mature in one year or less.
 
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, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.1 million.  Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $283.5 million at June 30, 2013.   In addition, at June 30, 2013, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $384.4 million from the FHLB of which we had $140.0 million outstanding.  As of June 30, 2013, the Bank also had a maximum borrowing capacity of $53.2 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, through the Discount Window.  Additionally, as of June 30, 2013, the Bank had overnight borrowing facilities with the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank as well as federal funds lines of credit with three other commercial banks.
 
At June 30, 2013, we had $137.6 million in commitments outstanding, which consisted of $16.8 million in home equity and consumer loan commitments, $107.1 million in commercial loan commitments, $13.2 million in standby letters of credit, and $554,000 in commercial letters of credit.
 
Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2013 totaled $183.4 million, including $32.6 million of brokered deposits, representing 59.8% of certificates of deposit at June 30, 2013, a decrease from 60.8% at December 31, 2012.  We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflect customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for long periods in the current low interest rate environment.  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

40


pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2014.
 
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 and borrowed funds.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall levels 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 Bancorp is a separate entity and apart from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity.  As of June 30, 2013, the Bancorp had $23.9 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $29.6 million as of December 31, 2012. In addition to its operating expenses, Bancorp may utilize its cash position for the payment of dividends or to repurchase common stock, subject to applicable restrictions.  Bancorp paid a cash dividend of $0.06 per outstanding share of common stock during the first and second quarters of 2013 and repurchased 218,572 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
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 regulatory approval, cannot exceed the retained net earnings (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 the Comptroller of the Currency, 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, 2013, the Bank exceeded all applicable 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” under applicable regulatory guidelines as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Total stockholders’ equity to total assets was 15.5% at June 30, 2013 and 16.7% at December 31, 2012.  As a result of the mutual-to-stock conversion completed in June 2010, 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 conversion has and will continue to have an adverse impact on our return on equity until such funds can be deployed into higher yielding assets.  The Company may rely on capital management tools such as cash dividends and share repurchases as well as improving operating income to increase its return on equity.

The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies, including savings and loan holding companies, that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions themselves. In early July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC approved revisions to their capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action rules that implement

41


the revised standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. “Basel III” refers to two consultative documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2009, the rules released in December 2010, and loss absorbency rules issued in January 2011, which include significant changes to bank capital, leverage and liquidity requirements.
The rules include new risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which are effective January 1, 2015, and revise the definition of what constitutes “capital” for calculating those ratios. The proposed new minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank will be: (1) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (3) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (4) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The rules eliminate the inclusion of certain instruments, such as trust preferred securities, from Tier 1 capital. Instruments issued prior to May 19, 2010 will be grandfathered for companies with consolidated assets of $15 billion or less. The rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and would result in the following minimum ratios: (1) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% and (3) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution would be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

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, 2013, 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, 2013, there has not been any material change to the market risk disclosure contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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, 2013 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, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. As of June 30, 2013, 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.
