Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2014

NOTE 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the "Bank" or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the "Company"), and reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature, and in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.  The Bank has multiple subsidiaries used to hold part of its investment and loan portfolios and other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on current earnings or shareholders’ equity.  The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were available to be issued.

The interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of interim results.  The results of operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.  As used in this Form 10-Q, “we” and “us” and “our” refer to Unity Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Unity Bank, depending on the context.  Certain information and financial disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules.  Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors.  Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life in years		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		448,975	$	6.70		5.6	$	739,951
Options granted		41,000		7.90
Options exercised		(19,950)		4.62
Options cancelled		(13,697)		11.12
Outstanding at September 30, 2014		456,328	$	6.77		5.4	$	1,436,588
Exercisable at September 30, 2014		354,497	$	6.69		4.5	$	1,172,932

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.  The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant.  As of September 30, 2014, 1,720,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 456,328 option grants are outstanding, and 1,211,509 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 52,692 shares available for grant.

8

The fair values of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the three months ended September 30,						For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Number of options granted		-			-			41,000			25,000
Weighted average exercise price	$	-		$	-		$	7.90		$	6.02
Weighted average fair value of options	$	-		$	-		$	3.03		$	2.91
Expected life in years (1)		-			-			5.40			5.11
Expected volatility (2)		-	%		-	%		45.05	%		52.81	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		-	%		-	%		1.52	%		0.77	%
Dividend yield (4)		-	%		-	%		1.02	%		-	%

(1) The expected life of the options was estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(2) The expected volatility of the Company’s stock price was based on the historical volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. 

(3) The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate commensurate with the expected life of the options on the date of grant.

(4) The expected dividend yield is the projected annual yield based on the grant date stock price.

Upon exercise, the Company issues shares from its authorized but unissued common stock to satisfy the options.  The following table presents information about options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Number of options exercised		-		11,667		19,950		11,667
Total intrinsic value of options exercised	$	-	$	15,367	$	67,417	$	15,367
Cash received from options exercised		-		-		62,445		-
Tax deduction realized from options exercised		-		-		26,926		-

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2014:

		Options outstanding						Options exercisable
Range of exercise prices		Options outstanding		Weighted average remaining contractual life (in years)		Weighted average exercise price		Options exercisable		Weighted average exercise price
$	0.00 - 4.00		107,000		4.6	$	3.87		107,000	$	3.87
	4.01 - 7.00		167,000		7.0		6.14		118,669		6.14
	7.01 - 10.00		139,882		5.1		7.96		86,382		8.03
	10.01 - 13.00		42,446		2.3		12.60		42,446		12.60
	Total		456,328		5.4	$	6.77		354,497	$	6.69

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period).  Compensation expense related to stock options and the related income tax benefit for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013 are detailed in the following table:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Compensation expense	$	36,564	$	30,431	$	120,961	$	105,076
Income tax benefit		14,604		12,154		48,312		41,967

As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans totaled approximately $197 thousand.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $483 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

Perpetual Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provided the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets.  One of the programs resulting from the EESA was the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) which provided direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions.  The Company received an investment in perpetual preferred stock of $20.6 million on December 5, 2008.

On May 9, 2013, the Company announced that it received approval of its application from the U.S. Department of Treasury to redeem half of the 20,649 shares of preferred stock issued in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s CPP.  On May 15, 2013, the Company paid $10.3 million to the Treasury to repurchase 10,324 shares of the preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends for the shares.  On July 1, 2013, the Company announced that it received approval to redeem the remaining 10,325 shares of preferred stock.  On July 3, 2013, the Company paid $10.4 million to the Treasury to repurchase the remaining shares of the preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends for the shares.  On August 28, 2013, the Company completed the $2.7 million repurchase of the warrant to purchase  764,788 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s CPP.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a forecasted period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

Management assesses its intent to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired with no intent to sell and no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income. For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan. The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio. The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale. When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs. In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield. Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.

11

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans). When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet. Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient. These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors. All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status. Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off. All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above.

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans individually evaluated for impairment. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans. Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the section titled "Loan Portfolio" under Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors and reserves based on general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends. This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expenses and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections titled "Asset Quality" and "Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments" under Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to the asset and liability method. 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

NOTE 2.  Litigation

The Company may, in the ordinary course of business, become a party to litigation involving collection matters, contract claims and other legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its business.  In the best judgment of management, based upon consultation with counsel, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company will not be affected materially by the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent liabilities and commitments.

NOTE 3.  Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Net income available to common shareholders is calculated as net income less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock. 

Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options and warrants, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted income per share.  

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net income	$	1,886	$	1,302	$	4,707	$	3,848
Less: Preferred stock dividends and discount accretion		-		119		-		988
Income available to common shareholders	$	1,886	$	1,183	$	4,707	$	2,860
Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic		7,847		7,545		7,680		7,542
Plus: Potential dilutive common stock equivalents		99		277		85		325
Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted		7,946		7,822		7,765		7,867
Net income per common share - Basic	$	0.24	$	0.16	$	0.61	$	0.38
Net income per common share - Diluted		0.24		0.15		0.61		0.36
Stock options and common stock excluded from the income per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive		120		282		115		383

The "potential dilutive common stock equivalents" shown in the table above for September 30, 2013 includes the impact of 764,778 common stock warrants issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program in December 2008, utilizing the Treasury stock method.  These warrants were repurchased on August 28, 2013 for a price of  $2.7 million utilizing the Treasury Stock Method for the period outstanding.

NOTE 4.  Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $808 thousand for an effective tax rate of 30.0 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $684 thousand and effective tax rate of 34.4 percent for the prior year’s quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $2.2 million for an effective tax rate of 31.8 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million and effective tax rate of 33.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $305 thousand in tax-exempt income from a death benefit on BOLI.  Excluding this death benefit income the effective tax rate would have been 33.8 percent and 33.3 percent for the three and nine month periods, respectively.

The Company did not recognize or accrue any interest or penalties related to income taxes during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.  The Company did not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2010 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.

NOTE 5.  Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The following table shows the changes in other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

NOTE 6.  Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

· These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of available for sale ("AFS") securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1).  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the Company's AFS securities portfolio was $66.1 million.  Approximately 55 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $36.1 million at September 30, 2014.  Approximately $35.0 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. 

All of the Company’s AFS securities were classified as Level 2 assets at September 30, 2014.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information.  It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities. 

At December 31, 2013, the Company’s AFS securities included commercial mortgage-backed securities which were classified as Level 3 assets.  For commercial mortgage-backed securities, the inputs used by either dealer market participants or an independent pricing service, may be derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).  In these instances, management evaluates the appropriateness and quality of the assumptions and the resulting prices.  In addition, management reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as

15

necessary, to estimate fair value and this results in fair values based on Level 3 inputs.  In determining fair value, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs which reflect its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing each security.  In developing its assertion of market participant assumptions, the Company utilizes the best information that is both reasonable and available without undue cost and effort.

In calculating the fair value for AFS securities under Level 3, management prepared present value cash flow models for certain private label commercial mortgage-backed securities.  Private label commercial mortgage-backed securities owned by the Bank are A1 and A2 tranche sequential structures and are currently paying principal.  The cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities incorporated the expected cash flow of each security adjusted for default rates, loss severities and prepayments of the individual loans collateralizing the security.  The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 inputs used to measure the fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2013:

Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted Cash Flow	Prepayment rate	8 through 15	%	10.0	%
	Default rate	10 through 15	%	12.5	%
	Loss severity	10 through 25	%	18.0	%

Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in the table above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the securities.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

For the Level 3 available for sale private label commercial mortgage-backed securities, cash flow assumptions incorporate independent third party market participant data based on vintage year for each security.  The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities was arrived at by combining the yield on orderly transactions for similar maturity government sponsored mortgage-backed securities with (i) the historical average risk premium of similar structured private label securities, (ii) a risk premium reflecting current market conditions, including liquidity risk and (iii) if applicable, a forecasted loss premium derived from the expected cash flows of each security.  The estimated cash flows for each private label commercial mortgage-backed security are then discounted at the aforementioned effective rate to determine the fair value.  The quoted prices received from either market participants or independent pricing services are weighted with the internal price estimate to determine the fair value of each instrument.

There were no changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the periods ended December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.  

The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Appraisal Policy

All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP").  Appraisals are certified to the Company and performed by appraisers on the Company’s approved list of appraisers.  Evaluations are completed by a person independent of Company management.  The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property.  Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”.

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount ranges from 10 to 25 percent and is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business. Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 8 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")

The fair value of OREO is determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).  

Impaired Collateral-Dependent Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”  Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  Partially charged-off loans are measured for impairment based upon an appraisal for collateral-dependent loans.  When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal is discounted in the manner discussed above. If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status.  The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status. The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status generally when the borrower makes nine months of contractual payments and demonstrates the ability to service the debt going forward.  Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.  At September 30, 2014, the valuation allowance for impaired loans was $951 thousand, a decrease of $186 thousand from $1.1 million at December 31, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. These estimated fair values as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.  The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Held to Maturity

The fair value of held to maturity ("HTM") securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.  Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value).  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

18

Standby Letters of Credit

At September 30, 2014, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.4 million, consistent with December 31, 2013.  The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

The table below presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not previously presented as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Unrealized Losses

The unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above are discussed in the paragraphs that follow:

U.S. government sponsored entities and state and political subdivision securities: The unrealized losses on investments in these types of securities were caused by the increase in interest rate spreads or the increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve.  The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014.  There was no impairment on these securities at December 31, 2013.

21

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities:  The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads orthe increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Corporate and other securities: Included in this category are corporate debt securities, Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investments, asset-backed securities, and one trust preferred security.  The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities were due to widening credit spreads or the increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve and the unrealized losses on CRA investments were caused by decreases in the market prices of the shares.  The Company evaluated the prospects of the issuers and forecasted a recovery period; and as a result determined it did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.  The unrealized loss on the trust preferred security was caused by an inactive trading market and changes in market credit spreads.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this category consisted of one single-issuer trust preferred security. The contractual terms do not allow the security to be settled at a price less than the par value.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The net realized gains are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net security gains.  There were no realized gains or losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and there were gross realized gains of $385 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  There were no gross realized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and there were gross realized losses of $7 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The net realized gains during 2014 were a result of the following:

· For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately $17.5 million in book value of available for sale municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds, resulting in pre-tax gains of approximately $385 thousand.

For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013, there were gross realized gains of $34thousand and $371 thousand, respectively.  There were no realized losses during the third quarter of 2013 and gross realized losses of $4 thousand for the year-to-date period.  The net realized gains during 2013 were a result of the following:

· For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold approximately $11.8 million in book value of available for sale asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds, resulting in pre-tax gains of approximately $371 thousand.

Pledged Securities

Securities with a carrying value of $53.1 million and $74.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.  Included in these figures was $33.6 million and $19.9 million pledged  against municipal deposits at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Total loans	$	744,366	$	678,701

Loans are made to individuals as well as commercial entities. Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower. Credit risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Bank. As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area. However, during late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type. A description of the Company's different loan segments follows:

SBA Loans: SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment. SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans are guaranteed by the businesses' major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

SBA 504 Loans: The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property. SBA 504 loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Generally, the Company has a 50 percent loan to value ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination.

Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers. Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' major owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

ResidentialMortgage and Consumer Loans: The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans. Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company’s relationship with the borrower.

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan. A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans. The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to credit administration policies and procedures. Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The Company's extension of credit is governed by the Credit Risk Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company's loans. These policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

23

Credit Ratings

For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality. A loan’s internal risk rating is updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating. The Company uses a 1 through 10 loan grading system that follows regulatorily accepted definitions.

Pass: Risk ratings of 1 through 6 are used for loans that are performing, as they meet, and are expected to continue to meet, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation, and are generally current on principal and interest payments. These performing loans are termed “Pass”.

Special Mention: Criticized loans are assigned a risk rating of 7 and termed “Special Mention”, as the borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Bank’s collateral and position. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable and no loss of interest or principal is anticipated. As a result, special mention assets do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Included in “Special Mention” could be turnaround situations, such as borrowers with deteriorating trends beyond one year, borrowers in startup or deteriorating industries, or borrowers with a poor market share in an average industry. "Special Mention" loans may include an element of asset quality, financial flexibility, or below average management. Management and ownership may have limited depth or experience. Regulatory agencies have agreed on a consistent definition of “Special Mention” as an asset with potential weaknesses which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. This definition is intended to ensure that the “Special Mention” category is not used to identify assets that have as their sole weakness credit data exceptions or collateral documentation exceptions that are not material to the repayment of the asset.

Substandard: Classified loans are assigned a risk rating of an 8 or 9, depending upon the prospect for collection, and deemed “Substandard”. A risk rating of 8 is used for borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan is inadequately protected by the current paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified “Substandard”.

A risk rating of 9 is used for borrowers that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan with a risk rating of 8, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures; capital injection; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing plans. Partial charge-offs are likely.

Loss: Once a borrower is deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt, the risk rating becomes a 10, the loan is termed a “Loss”, and charged-off immediately. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless assets even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality. Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis, as a loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan.

Nonperforming and Past Due Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans and generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status. The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors. The improved state of the economy has resulted in a substantial reduction in nonperforming loans and loan delinquencies. The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market. In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrowers’ financial statements and tax returns.

The following tables set forth an aging analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Impaired Loans

The Company has defined impaired loans to be all nonperforming loans individually evaluated for impairment and troubled debt restructurings.  Management considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.  Impairment is evaluated on an individual basis for SBA, SBA 504, and commercial loans.

The following table provides detail on the Company’s impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of September 30, 2014:

The following tables present the average recorded investments in impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time period in which the loans were impaired for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of impaired loans.  When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method, and therefore no interest income is recognized.  The interestincome recognized on impaired loans noted below represents primarily accruing troubled debt restructurings and nominalamounts of income recognized on a cash basis for well-collateralized impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company's loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, unless it results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance. This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

TDRs of $7.7 million and $7.9 million are included in the impaired loan numbers as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Specific reserves for these TDRs were $288 thousand and $363 thousand as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At September 30, 2014, $3.5 million of TDRs were in nonaccrual status, compared to $467 thousand at December 31, 2013.  The increase during the nine month period was due to the transfer of 3 loans, one of which was $2.7 million, into nonaccrual status. The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they continue to perform in accordance with their restructured terms.

There were no loans modified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014that were deemed to be TDRs.  There were no loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that were deemed to be TDRs.  There was one such loan modified in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The following table details loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, including the number of modifications and the recorded investment at the time of the modification.

There were no loans modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted at some point during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  There was one loan modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  In this case, the subsequent default is defined as 90 days past due or transferred to nonaccrual status.  These defaults are detailed in the following table:

Note 9. Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  At a minimum, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.  For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented the loans in its portfolio by loan type.  Loans are segmented into the following pools: SBA 7(a), SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgages, and consumer loans.  Certain portfolio segments are further broken down into classes based on the associated risks within those segments and the type of collateral underlying each loan.  Commercial loans are divided into the following three classes: commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and commercial other.  Consumer loans are divided into two classes as follows:  Home equity and other.

The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves.  The same standard methodology is used, regardless of loan type.  Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (see Note 1 for additional information on this term).  The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for the following environmental factors: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, changes in the volume of restructured loans, volume and loan term trends, changes in risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.  Within the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily as it believes it is more indicative of future charge-offs.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate and high risk.  Each environmental factor is evaluated separately for each class of loans and risk weighted based on its individual characteristics. 

· For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, the estimate of loss based on pools of loans with similar characteristics is made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis.  The loan grading system incorporates reviews of the financial performance of the borrower, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, earnings power, debt level and equity position, in conjunction with an assessment of the borrower's industry and future prospects.  It also incorporates analysis of the type of collateral and the relative loan to value ratio.

· For residential mortgage and consumer loans, the estimate of loss is based on pools of loans with similar characteristics.  Factors such as credit score, delinquency status and type of collateral are evaluated.  Factors are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in loss mitigation or credit origination strategies, and adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed.

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable.  All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company’s ability to collect on the credit.  Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.  This charge-off policy is followed for all loan types.

The allocated allowance is the total of identified specific and general reserves by loan category.  The allocation is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.The unallocated portion of the allowance increased for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 due to changes in environmental factors such as charge-off and recovery trends and improvements in industry conditions partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio and credits transferred into nonaccrual status needing a specific reserve.

Changes in Methodology:

The Company did not make any changes to its allowance for loan losses methodology in the current period.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the reserve which is classified as other liabilities.  At September 30, 2014, a $151 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $103 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2013.

Net Interest Income

The primary source of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividends earned on earning assets and fees earned on loans, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Earning assets include loans to individuals and businesses, investment securities, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold.  Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing demand, savings and time deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings.  Net interest income is determined by the difference between the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“net interest spread”) and the relative amounts of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company’s net interest spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, deposit flows and general levels of nonperforming assets.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $7.7 million, an increase of $746 thousand or 10.8 percent when compared to the same period in 2013.  The net interest margin increased 3 basis points to 3.56 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to 3.53 percent for the same period in 2013.  The net interest spread was 3.38 percent for the third quarter of 2014, a 1 basis point increase compared to the same period in 2013.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, tax-equivalent interest income was $9.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 11.8 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year.  This increase was driven by the increase in average loans, and a higher average yield on the loan portfolio:

× Of the $1.0 million net increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $879 thousand of the increase was due to increased average earning assets, primarily loans, and $123 thousand of the increase wasdue to increased yields on average earning assets.  

× The average volume of interest-earning assets increased $76.5 million to $855.2 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $778.7 million for the same period in 2013.  This was due primarily to an $80.8 million increase in average loans, primarily commercial and residential mortgage loans, and a $12.9 million increase in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $17.1 million decrease in average investment securities.

× The yield on interest-earning assets increased 7 basis points to 4.43 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013.  The yield on the loan portfolio increased11 basis points to 4.89 percent.

Total interest expense was $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $256 thousand or 16.0 percent compared to the same period in 2013.  This increase was driven by the increase in average time deposits and increased rates on savings deposits compared to a year ago:

× Of the $256 thousand increase in interest expense, $225 thousand of the increase was due to an increase in the volume of average interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits.

× Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $701.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $66.0 million or 10.4 percent, compared to the prior year’s quarter.  The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was a result of an increase in average time deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease in average savings deposits.

× The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 6 basis points to 1.05 percent. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 11 basis points to 0.68 percent for the third quarter of 2014 and the cost of borrowed funds and subordinated debentures increased 1 basis point to 3.50 percent.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $22.4 million, an increase of $1.8 million or 8.9 percent when compared to the same period in 2013.  The net interest margin decreased 3 basis points to 3.54 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, compared to 3.57 percent for the same period in 2013.  The net interest spread was 3.37 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

36

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, tax-equivalent interest income was $27.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 9.4 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year.  This increase was driven by the increase in average loans, partially offset by a lower average yield on the loan portfolio and a smaller investment portfolio:

× Of the $2.4 million net increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $2.7 million of the increase was due to increased average earning assets, primarily loans, partially offset by  $336 thousand in reduced interest income due to reduced yields on these assets.  

× The average volume of interest-earning assets increased $74.5 million to $844.2 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 compared to $769.7 million for the same period in 2013.  This was due primarily to an $83.4 million increase in average loans, primarily commercial and residential mortgage loans, and a $5.1 million increase in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $14.0 million decrease in average investment securities.

× The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 1 basis point to 4.39 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013.  The yield on our loan portfolio declined 9 basis points to 4.87 percent.

Total interest expense was $5.4 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, an increase of $566 thousand or 11.7 percent compared to the same period in 2013.  This increase was driven by the increase in average time deposits, partially offset by lower rates on these deposits compared to a year ago:

× Of the $566 thousand increase in interest expense, $824 thousand of the increase was due to an increase in the volume of average interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits, partially offset by a $258 thousand decrease due to the decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

× Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $696.4 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, an increase of $74.7 million or 12.0 percent, compared to the same period in the prior year.  The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was a result of an increase in average time deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease in average savings deposits.

× The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 1 basis point to 1.02 percent. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 4 basis points to 0.65 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and the cost of borrowed funds and subordinated debentures was 3.50 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Our net interest income continues to be impacted by the sustained low interest rate environment. The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve Board forecasts the overnight federal funds rate will continue to remain at 25 basis points through late 2015. This rate environment has resulted in a tighter net interest margin as our earning assets continue to re-price at lower rates. Partially offsetting these declines are lower funding costs; however, the reduction in yield on earning assets is anticipated to exceed the benefits of further declines in the cost of funds from already low levels.

The following table reflects the components of net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented herein: (1) average assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) net interest spread, and (5) net interest income/margin on average earning assets.  Rates/Yields are computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 34 percent.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses totaled $550 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $600thousand for the three months ended September 30,  2013.  For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses totaled $1.7 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2013.Each period’s loan loss provision is the result of management’s analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies, current economic conditions and other internal and external factors impacting the risk within the loan portfolio.  Additional information may be found under the captions “Financial Condition - Asset Quality” and “Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments.”  The current provision is considered appropriate under management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Noninterest Income

The following table shows the components of noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Branch fee income	$	388	$	398	$	1,106	$	1,093
Service and loan fee income		292		351		872		975

Other income		215		173		621		505
Total noninterest income	$	1,853	$	1,650	$	5,019	$	5,132

Our noninterest income consists primarily of branch and loan fee income, gains on the sale of SBA and residential mortgage loans, gains on the sale of securities, and BOLI income.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, noninterest income amounted to $1.9 million, an increase of $203 thousand from the prior year period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, noninterest income decreased $113 thousand to $5.0 million when compared to the same period in 2013.

40

Changes in our noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 versus 2013 reflect:

· For the three months ended September 30 2014, branch fee income, which consists of deposit service charges and overdraft fees, decreased $10 thousand when compared to the same period in 2013, due to lower overdraft volume.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, branch fee income increased $13 thousand when compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased overdraft volume.

· For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, service and loan fee income decreased $59 thousand and $103 thousand, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. These decreases were due to lower SBA loan servicing income as the volume of serviced loans declined, reduced late charges, payoff and prepayment penalties partially offset by increased processing fees.

· SBA loan sales totaled $3.2 million with net gains on sale of $295 thousand for the quarter, compared to $3.1 million sold and a gain of $280 thousand in the prior year’s quarter.  On a year-to-date basis, SBA loan sales totaled $6.4 million and $6.3 million with net gains on sales of $633 thousand and $607 thousand in 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

· For the three months ended September 30, 2014, $16.5 million in residential mortgage loans were sold at a gain of $263 thousand, compared to $14.1 million sold at a gain of $314 thousand during the prior year’s quarter.  Approximately, $3.7 million of the sold loans were previously originated loans from our portfolio that were sold at par to reduce interest rate risk.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $45.1 million in residential mortgage loans were sold at a gain of $816 thousand, compared to $62.6 million sold at a gain of $1.3 million during the prior year’s period.  All residential mortgage loans that were put into our portfolio for long term investment are adjustable rate mortgages or 15 year fully amortizing mortgages.

· BOLI income increased $300 thousand and $347 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to a $305 thousand, or $0.04 per diluted share, death benefit received. 

· There were no net realized gains on the sale of securities for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net gains of $34 thousand for the same period in the prior year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net realized security gains amounted to $378 thousand and $367 thousand, respectively.  For additional information, see Note 7 - Securities.

· For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, other income, which includes check card related income and miscellaneous service charges, increased $42 thousand and $116 thousand, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to increases in VISA check card interchange fees and OREO rental income.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents a breakdown of noninterest expense for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2014		2013		2014		2013
Compensation and benefits	$	3,214	$	2,984	$	9,553	$	9,325

Processing and communications		667		598		1,847		1,720
Furniture and equipment		377		374		1,112		1,110
Professional services		159		210		617		634
Loan costs		225		188		569		594

Deposit insurance		166		165		515		493
Advertising		291		218		729		519
Other expenses		467		426		1,406		1,457
Total noninterest expense	$	6,241	$	5,935	$	18,644	$	18,134

Noninterest expense increased $306 thousand to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and increased $510 thousand to $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The primary drivers of the increases during both periods were compensation, processing and communications and advertising expenses.

Changes in noninterest expense for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 versus 2013 reflect:

· Compensation and benefits expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $230 thousand and $228 thousand for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014, respectively, due to higher salary expense as we expand our commercial lending staff and increased benefits costs such as medical insurance.  For the nine month period, bonus and equity related compensation expense increased while the mortgage commissions decreased as the volume of sold loans decreased.

41

· Occupancy expense increased $6 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and decreased $36 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The quarter over quarter increase was due to higher landscaping expense partially offset by lower leasehold improvement depreciation expense.  The year-to-date decrease was to due lower rental expense and lower leasehold improvement depreciation expense as the result of the purchase of three of our branches in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by increased seasonal landscaping and snow removal expenses.

· Processing and communications expenses increased $69 thousand and $127 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as we add products and services to remain competitive. This category includes the rising costs of providing our customers with products and services such as electronic banking, online bill payment, ATM/debit cards, international wires and foreign currency.  In addition, it includes the associated rise in data processing costs of our core banking system and electronic access expenses such as communication line costs.

· Furniture and equipment expense remained relatively flat for the three and nine month periods.

· Professional service fees decreased $51 thousand and $17 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, primarily due to decreased legal and supervisory exams expense.

· Loan costs increased $37 thousand for the three months ending September 30, 2014 due to higher loan legal and property tax expense.  For the year-to-date period, loan costs decreased $25 thousand due to lower appraisals expense, broker and correspondent fees, and forced place insurance expense.

· OREO expenses decreased $103 thousand for the quarter, but increased $50 thousand for the year-to-date period as we work through the collection process and incur expenses such as property maintenance, insurance and legal costs, as well as delinquent taxes and losses on sale.

· Deposit insurance expense remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, deposit insurance expenses increased $22 thousand when compared to the same period in 2013 due to growth in the company’s assets.

· Advertising expense increased $73 thousand and $210 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  Expenses increased in both periods due to the use of television and radio media, core deposit promotional expenses as well as seasonal involvement in various community events.

· For the three months ended September 30, 2014, other expenses increased $41 thousand due to a higher provision for commitments.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other expenses decreased $51 thousand due to lower recruiting fees and director fees, partially offset by increased debit card losses and cost of business losses.

Income Tax Expense

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $808 thousand for an effective tax rate of 30.0 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $684 thousand and effective tax rate of 34.4 percent for the prior year’s quarter.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $2.2 million for an effective tax rate of 31.8 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million and effective tax rate of 33.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $305 thousand in tax-exempt income from a death benefit on BOLI.  Excluding this death benefit income the effective tax rate would have been 33.8 percent and 33.3 percent for the three and nine month periods, respectively.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2014

Total assets increased $48.5 million or 5.3 percent, to $969.6 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $921.1 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $65.7 million in loans, partially offset by a decrease of $20.6 million in securities.  Total deposits increased $43.2 million, due to increases of $25.6  million, $17.9 million, and $13.2 million insavings deposits,  time deposits, andnoninterest-bearing demand deposits, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $13.5 million in interest-bearing demand deposits.  Borrowed funds decreased $7.0 million over year-end 2013 due to a $25.0 million overnight advance at September 30, 2014 versus a $32.0 million overnight advance at December 31, 2013.  There were no changes to subordinated debentures.  Total shareholders’ equity increased $11.2 million over year-end 2013, primarily due to common stock proceeds from the rights offering and retained earnings.  These fluctuations are discussed in further detail in the paragraphs that follow. 

Securities Portfolio

The Company’s securities portfolio consists of available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) investments. Management determines the appropriate security classification of available for sale or held to maturity at the time of purchase. The investment securities portfolio is maintained for asset-liability management purposes, as well as for liquidity and earnings purposes.

AFS securities are investments carried at fair value that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or for other business purposes. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk, to take advantage of market

42

conditions that create economically attractive returns and as an additional source of earnings. AFS securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate and other securities.

AFS securities totaled $66.1 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $15.1 million or 18.6 percent, compared to $81.1 million at December 31, 2013.  This net decrease was the result of:

- $9.9 million in purchases, consisting primarily of mortgage-backed securities, one corporate bond and one agency security, and

- $774 thousand of appreciation in the market value of the portfolio.  At September 30, 2014, the portfolio had net unrealized losses of $5 thousand compared to net unrealized losses of $778 thousand at December 31, 2013.  These net unrealized losses are reflected net of tax in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by

- $17.5 million in sales net of realized gains, which consisted of municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, one asset-backed security, and one corporate bond,

- $7.9 million in principal payments, maturities and called bonds, and

- $350 thousand in net amortization of premiums

The weighted average life of AFS securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 4.5 years at September 30, 2014 and 5.4 years at December 31, 2013.

HTM securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments for which there is the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate and other securities.

HTM securities were $20.8 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $5.6 million or 21.1 percent, from year-end 2013.  This decrease was the result of:

- $5.8 million in principal payments and maturities, and

- $70 thousand in net amortization of premiums, partially offset by

- $309 thousand in the purchase of one bond anticipation note.

The weighted average life of HTM securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 6.5 years and 8.5 years at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of HTM securities was $20.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively.

The average balance of taxable securities amounted to $84.6 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, compared to $94.4 million for the same period in 2013. The average yield earned on taxable securities increased 12 basis points, to 2.74 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, from 2.62 percent for the same period in the prior year.  The average balance of tax-exempt securities amounted to $14.9 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2013. The average yield earned on tax-exempt securities decreased 2 basis points, to 3.64 percent for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014, from 3.66 percent for the same period in 2013.

Securities with a carrying value of $53.1 million and $74.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Approximately 86 percent of the total investment portfolio had a fixed rate of interest at September 30, 2014.

See Note 7 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Securities.

Loan Portfolio

The loan portfolio, which represents the Company’s largest asset group, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The portfolio consists of SBA, SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgage and consumer loans.  Each of these segments is subject to differing levels of credit and interest rate risk.

Total loans increased $65.7 million or 9.7 percent to $744.4 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $678.7 million at year-end 2013.  Residential mortgages, commercial loans, consumer loans, and SBA 504 loans increased $29.4 million, $28.0 million, $9.0 million, and $2.6 million respectively, partially offset by a decline of $3.3 million in SBA loans.

The following table sets forth the classification of loans by major category, including unearned fees and deferred costs and excluding the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	September 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
(In thousands, except percentages)	Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total
SBA loans held for investment	$	44,502		6.0	%	$	48,918		7.2	%
SBA 504 loans		34,152		4.6			31,564		4.7
Commercial loans		391,338		52.5			363,340		53.5
Residential mortgage loans		211,450		28.4			182,067		26.8
Consumer loans		55,089		7.4			46,139		6.8
Total loans held for investment		736,531		98.9			672,028		99.0
SBA loans held for sale		7,835		1.1			6,673		1.0
Total loans	$	744,366		100.0	%	$	678,701		100.0	%

Average loans increased $83.4 million or 13.6 percent from $614.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $697.8 million for the same period in 2014.  The increase in average loans was due to increases in commercial loans, residential mortgages, and consumer loans, partially offset by a decline in SBA 7(a)and SBA 504 loans.  The yield on the overall loan portfolio fell 9 basis points to 4.87 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 4.96 percent for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was the result of new loan volume at lower rates and existing variable rate loan products repricing lower as rates remain low.

SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA historically has provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. These loans are made for the purposes of providing working capital or financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate. Generally, an SBA 7(a) loan has a deficiency in its credit profile that would not allow the borrower to qualify for a traditional commercial loan, which is why the SBA provides the guarantee. The deficiency may be a higher loan to value (“LTV”) ratio, lower debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratio or weak personal financial guarantees. In addition, many SBA 7(a) loans are for start up businesses where there is no history or financial information. Finally, many SBA borrowers do not have an ongoing and continuous banking relationship with the Bank, but merely work with the Bank on a single transaction. The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans are generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment.

SBA 7(a) loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or market, amounted to $7.8 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $1.2 million from $6.7 million at December 31, 2013. SBA 7(a) loans held to maturity amounted to $44.5 million at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $4.4 million from $48.9 million at December 31, 2013. The yield on SBA loans, which are generally floating and adjust quarterly to the Prime rate, was 4.60 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 4.55 percent in the prior year.

The guarantee rates on SBA 7(a) loans range from 50 percent to 90 percent, with the majority of the portfolio having a guarantee rate of 75 percent at origination. The guarantee rates are determined by the SBA and can vary from year to year depending on government funding and the goals of the SBA program. The carrying value of SBA loans held for sale represents the guaranteed portion to be sold into the secondary market. The carrying value of SBA loans held to maturity represents the unguaranteed portion, which is the Company's portion of SBA loans originated, reduced by the guaranteed portion that is sold into the secondary market. Approximately $94.8 million and $96.4 million in SBA loans were sold but serviced by the Company at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are not included on the Company’s balance sheet. There is no relationship or correlation between the guarantee percentages and the level of charge-offs and recoveries on the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans. Charge-offs taken on SBA 7(a) loans effect the unguaranteed portion of the loan. SBA loans are underwritten to the same credit standards irrespective of the guarantee percentage.

The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property. Generally, the Company has a 50 percent LTV ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination. At September 30, 2014, SBA 504 loans totaled $34.2 million, an increase of $2.6 million from $31.6 million at December 31, 2013. The yield on SBA 504 loans decreased 10 basis points to 4.99 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 5.09 percent for the same period in 2013.

44

Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s marketplace for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. These loans amounted to $391.3 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $28.0 million from year-end 2013. The yield on commercial loans was 5.13 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 5.30 percent for the same period in 2013.

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans secured by 1 to 4 family residential properties. These loans amounted to $211.5 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $29.4 million from year-end 2013. Sales of mortgage loans totaled $45.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Approximately, $13.7 million of the sold loans were sold at par from our portfolio to reduce interest risk, with the remainder consisting of new production.  The yield on residential mortgages was 4.53 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 4.56 percent for the same period in 2013.

Consumer loans consist of home equity loans, construction loans and loans for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being purchased. These loans amounted to $55.1 million, an increase of $9.0 million from year-end 2013. The yield on consumer loans was 4.45 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 4.34 percent for the same period in 2013.

There are no concentrations of loans to any borrowers or group of borrowers exceeding 10 percent of the total loan portfolio and no foreign loans in the portfolio. As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area. During late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area.

In the normal course of business, the Company may originate loan products whose terms could give rise to additional credit risk. Interest-only loans, loans with high LTV ratios, construction loans with payments made from interest reserves and multiple loans supported by the same collateral (e.g. home equity loans) are examples of such products. However, these products are not material to the Company’s financial position and are closely managed via credit controls that mitigate their additional inherent risk. Management does not believe that these products create a concentration of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company does not have any option adjustable rate mortgage loans.

The majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate.  Declines in the market values of real estate in the Company’s trade area impact the value of the collateral securing its loans.  This could lead to greater losses in the event of defaults on loans secured by real estate.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013,  approximately 95 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was secured by real estate.  

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance. This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

At September 30, 2014, there were ten loans totaling $7.7 million that were classified as TDRs by the Company and deemed impaired, compared to ten such loans totaling $7.9 million at December 31, 2013.  Nonperforming loans included $3.5 million of TDRs as of September 30, 2014, compared to $467thousand at December 31, 2013.  Restructured loans that are placed in nonaccrual status may be removed after 6 months of contractual payments and the business showing the ability to service the debt going forward.  The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms.  There are no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.

The following table presents a breakdown of performing and nonperforming TDRs by class as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	September 30, 2014						December 31, 2013

Asset Quality

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan. A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans. The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to strict credit administration policies and procedures. Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors. In some cases, these factors have also resulted in significant impairment to the value of loan collateral. The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market.

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned ("OREO"). Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period income. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal, until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process that are expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status.

46

Nonperforming loans were $11.2 million at September 30, 2014, a $4.1 million decrease from $15.3 million at year-end 2013 and a $5.5 million decrease from $16.7 million at September 30, 2013.  Since year-end 2013, nonperforming loans in all segments, except SBA 504 loans,decreased.  Included in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2014 are approximately $200 thousand of loans guaranteed by the SBA, compared to $540 thousand at December 31, 2013 and $592 thousand at September 30, 2013.  In addition, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at September 30, 2014, compared to $19 thousandand $861 thousand at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties totaled $1.7million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $1.0million from $633 thousand at year-end 2013 and a $409 thousand increase from $1.2 million at September 30, 2013.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company took title to twelve new properties totaling $4.3 million with a valuation write down on one loan totaling $170 thousand.  Nine OREO properties were sold, resulting in a net loss of $310 thousand on the sales.

The Company also monitors potential problem loans.  Potential problem loans are those loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.  These loans are not included in nonperforming loans as they continue to perform.  Potential problem loans totaled $5.9 million at September 30, 2014, anincrease of $181 thousand from $5.7 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase is due to the addition of seven loans totaling $4.7 million during the year, partially offset by the removal of seven loans totaling $1.9 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans, which have been defined to include all nonperforming loans and TDRs. The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for certain environmental factors such as: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, volume and loan term trends, risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.

When calculating the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily.  The Company believes using this approach is more indicative of future charge-offs.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate, and high risk. The factors are evaluated separately for each type of loan. For example, commercial loans are broken down further into commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, etc. Each type of loan is risk weighted for each environmental factor based on its individual characteristics.

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable. All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company's ability to collect on the credit. Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.

Beginning in2013 and continuing in 2014, the Company has decreased its loan loss provision in response to improvements in the inherent credit risk within its loan portfolio.  The improved inherent credit risk was evidenced by a decrease in delinquent and nonperforming loans, as the economy continued to improve.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $12.9 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $13.1 million and $13.6 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30,  2013, respectively, with resulting allowance to total loan ratios of 1.74 percent, 1.94 percent, and 2.05percent, respectively.  Net charge-offs amounted to $490thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1.4million for the same period in 2013.  Net charge-offs amounted to $1.9 millionfor the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2013.  Net charge-offs to average loan ratios are shown in the table below for each major loan category.

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the reserve which is maintained in other liabilities.  At September 30, 2014, a $151thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $103 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2013.

See Note 9 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments.

Deposits

Deposits, which include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits, are the primary source of the Company’s funds.  The Company offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with primary focus on building and expanding relationships.  The Company continues to focus on establishing a comprehensive relationship with business borrowers, seeking deposits as well as lending relationships.

Total deposits increased $43.2 million to $781.9 million at September 30, 2014, from $738.7 million at December 31, 2013.  This increase in deposits was due to increases of $25.6 million in savings deposits, $17.9 million in time deposits and $13.2 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $13.5 million in interest-bearing demand deposits.  Savings deposits increased due to our “Harvest of Savings” promotion during the quarter while time deposits have increased in response to our 15 month and 5 year term promotions.  The noninterest-bearing demand deposits increase consists of commercial deposit customer relationships.  Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in municipal interest-bearing demand deposits.

The Company’s deposit composition at September 30, 2014, consisted of 37.4 percent savings deposits, 28.5 percent time deposits, 19.1 percent noninterest-bearing demand deposits and 15.0 percent interest-bearing demand deposits. 

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

Borrowed funds consist primarily of fixed rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York and repurchase agreements.  These borrowings are used as a source of liquidity or to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation.  Residential mortgages and investment securities collateralize the borrowings from the FHLB, while investment securities are pledged against the repurchase agreements.

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures totaled $115.5 million and $122.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and are broken down in the following table:

(In thousands)	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
FHLB borrowings:
Fixed rate advances	$	60,000	$	30,000
Overnight advances		25,000		32,000
Repurchase agreements		-		30,000
Other repurchase agreements		15,000		15,000
Subordinated debentures		15,465		15,465

At September 30, 2014, the Company had $47.0 million of additional credit available at the FHLB.  Pledging additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities can increase the line with the FHLB.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The principal objectives of the asset and liability management function are to establish prudent risk management guidelines, evaluate and control the level of interest-rate risk in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of appropriate risk given the business focus, operating environment, capital, and liquidity requirements, and actively manage risk within the Board approved guidelines.  The Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of the operations to changes in interest rates, and actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors.  The ALCO reviews the maturities and re-pricing of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, cash flow needs, current market conditions, and interest rate levels. 

49

The Company utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Portfolio Equity (“EVPE”) models to measure the impact of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two years.  The modified duration of equity measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest rates.  A longer modified duration of equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates.  Because of balance sheet optionality, an EVPE analysis is also used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash flows with rate shocks of 200 basis points.  The economic value of equity is likely to be different as interest rates change.  Results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by the ALCO.  The Company’s variance in the economic value of equity, as a percentage of assets with rate shocks of 200 basis points at September 30, 2014, is a decline of 1.06 percent in a rising-rate environment and a decrease of 0.89 percent in a falling-rate environment.  The variances in the EVPE at September 30, 2014 are within the Board-approved guidelines of +/- 3.00 percent.  At December 31, 2013, the economic value of equity as a percentage of assets with rate shocks of 200 basis points was a decline of 1.09 percent in a rising-rate environment and an increase of 0.45 percent in a falling-rate environment. 

Liquidity

Bank Liquidity

Liquidity measures the ability to satisfy current and future cash flow needs as they become due.  A bank’s liquidity reflects its ability to meet loan demand, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate opportunities in the marketplace.  Our liquidity is monitored by management and the Board of Directors through a Risk Management Committee, which reviews historical funding requirements, our current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.  Our goal is to maintain sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements in order to minimize our dependence on volatile and potentially unstable funding markets.

The principal sources of funds at the Bank are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of investment and loan principal, sales and maturities of investment securities and funds provided by operations.  While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides detail on the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the Company’s ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity.  At September 30, 2014, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $101.6 million, an increase of $2.2 million from December 31, 2013.  A discussion of the cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities follows.

Operating activities provided $5.2 million and $9.7 million in net cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The primary sources of funds were net income from operations and adjustments to net income, such as the provision for loan losses, depreciation and amortization, and proceeds from the sale of mortgage and SBA loans held for sale, partially offset by originations of mortgage and SBA loans held for sale.

Investing activities used $44.9 million and $83.5 million in net cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Cash was primarily used to purchase securities, and fund new loans, partially offset by cash inflows from maturities and paydowns on securities and proceeds from the sale of securities and OREO. 

× Securities.  The Bank’s available for sale investment portfolio amounted to $65.9 million and $81.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  This excludes the Parent Company’s securities discussed under the heading “Parent Company Liquidity” below.  Projected cash flows from securities over the next twelve months are $12.7 million.

× Loans.  The SBA loans held for sale portfolio amounted to $7.8 million and $6.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Sales of these loans provide an additional source of liquidity for the Company. 

× Outstanding Commitments.  The Company was committed to advance approximately $150.9 million to its borrowers as of September 30, 2014, compared to $103.2 million at December 31, 2013.  At September 30, 2014, $58.6 million of these commitments expire within one year, compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company had $1.5 million and $1.4 million in standby letters of credit at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are included in the commitments amount noted above.  The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.  The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments.  Many of these commitments will expire and never be funded.

50

Financing activities provided $41.9 million in net cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $54.3 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s deposits, proceeds from the rights offering, and proceeds from new borrowings partially offset by repayments of borrowings.

× Deposits.  As of September 30, 2014, deposits included $77.0 million of Government deposits, as compared to $82.5 million at year-end 2013. These deposits are generally short in duration and are very sensitive to price competition.  The Company believes that the current level of these types of deposits is appropriate.  Included in the portfolio were $71.5 million of deposits from ten municipalities.  The withdrawal of these deposits, in whole or in part, would not create a liquidity shortfall for the Company.

× Borrowed Funds.  Total FHLB borrowings amounted to $85.0 million and $92.0 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Third party repurchase agreements totaled $15.0 million as of both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”), the Company can borrow additional funds based on the market value of collateral pledged.  At September 30, 2014, pledging provided an additional $47.0 million in borrowing potential from the FHLB.  In addition, the Company can pledge additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities to increase this line with the FHLB.  

Parent Company Liquidity

The Parent Company’s cash needs are funded by dividends paid by the Bank.  Other than its investment in the Bank and Unity Statutory Trusts II and III, the Parent Company does not actively engage in other transactions or business.  Only expenses specifically for the benefit of the Parent Company are paid using its cash, which typically includes the payment of operating expenses and cash dividends on common stock and, prior to the redemption of the preferred stock issued as part of the CPP, cash dividends on the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury.

At September 30, 2014, the Parent Company had $132 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and $171 thousand in investment securities valued at fair market value, compared to $724 thousand in cash and cash equivalents and $167 thousand in investment securities at December 31, 2013.

Regulatory Capital

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base.  Federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and certain qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, subject to limitations, certain qualifying long-term debt, preferred stock and hybrid instruments, which do not qualify for tier 1 capital.  The parent company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators.  Quantitative measures of capital adequacy include the leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible assets), tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (tier 1 capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets) and total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital as a percent of total risk-weighted assets).

Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require the Company and the Bank to maintain certain capital as a percentage of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-weighted assets).  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action applicable to banks, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. At a minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 8 percent must be maintained.  

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require that a bank or holding company, which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards, maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3 percent.  For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased.  Minimum leverage ratios for each institution are evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.

On August 22, 2014 the Company completed the sale of 760,713 common shares in its rights offering. The common shares in the offering were sold at a price of $8.30 per share, representing gross proceeds to the Company of $6.3 million. The offering was significantly oversubscribed as $16.0 million was collected. The excess was returned to shareholders as directed by the Board of Directors.  The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, funding our expansion plans, working capital and pursuing strategic opportunities which may be presented to us from time to time.

The Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, adopted Basel III in September 2010, which constitutes a set of capital reform measures designed to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management of banking organizations worldwide. In order to implement Basel III and certain additional capital changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on July 9, 2013, the FDIC approved, as an interim final rule, the regulatory capital requirements for U.S. state nonmember banks, such as us, substantially similar to final rules issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 

The interim final rule includes new risk-based capital and leverage ratios that will be phased-in from 2015 to 2019 for most state nonmember banks, including us. The rule includes a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, which is in addition to the Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital requirements. The interim final rule also raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% and requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets will remain 8.0%. The new risk-based capital requirements (except for the capital conservation buffer) will become effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in over four years beginning on January 1, 2016, with a maximum buffer of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets for 2016, 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5% for 2019 and thereafter. Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will result in limitations on capital distributions and on discretionary bonuses to executive officers.

52

The following chart compares the risk-based capital required under existing rules to those prescribed under the interim final rule under the phase-in period described above:

	Current Treatment		Treatment in Final Rule
Leverage ratio	4.00	%	4.00	%
Common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) ratio	N/A		4.50	%
Additional tier 1	N/A		1.50	%
Tier 1 capital ratio	4.00	%	6.00	%
Tier 2	4.00	%	2.00	%
Total capital ratio	8.00	%	8.00	%
Capital conservation buffer	N/A		2.50	%

The interim final rule also implements revisions and clarifications consistent with Basel III regarding the various components of Tier 1 capital, including common equity, unrealized gains and losses and instruments that will no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital. The interim final rule also sets forth certain changes for the calculation of risk-weighted assets that the Bank will be required to implement beginning January 1, 2015. Management is currently evaluating the provisions of the interim final rule and its expected impact. Based on our current capital composition and levels, management does not presently anticipate that the interim final rule presents a material risk to our financial condition or results of operations.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased  $11.2 million to $68.4 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $57.2 million at December 31, 2013.Items impacting shareholders’ equity included $6.2 million in proceeds from the rights offering, net income of $4.7 million, $471 thousand increase in other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains on available for sale securities, and $389 thousand from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans, partially offset by a decrease of $517 thousand due to common stock dividends paid. The issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans includes nonqualified stock options and restricted stock expense related entries, employee option exercises and the tax benefit of options exercised.

Repurchase Plan

On October 21, 2002, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10 percent of its outstanding common stock.  The amount and timing of purchases is dependent upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s shares, general market conditions and competing alternate uses of funds. There were no shares repurchased during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.  The Company currently has no plans on repurchasing its common stock.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary.  As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

ITEM 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes in the Company's assessment of market risk as reported in Item 6 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  (See Interest Rate Sensitivity in Management's Discussion and Analysis Herein.)

ITEM 4Controls and Procedures

a) The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014.  Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective for recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

b) No significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s controls over financial reporting.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1.  Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the "Bank" or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the "Company"), and reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature, and in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.  The Bank has multiple subsidiaries used to hold part of its investment and loan portfolios and other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on current earnings or shareholders’ equity.  The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were available to be issued.

The interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of interim results.  The results of operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.  As used in this Form 10-Q, “we” and “us” and “our” refer to Unity Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Unity Bank, depending on the context.  Certain information and financial disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules.  Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors.  Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life in years		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		448,975	$	6.70		5.6	$	739,951
Options granted		41,000		7.90
Options exercised		(19,950)		4.62
Options cancelled		(13,697)		11.12
Outstanding at September 30, 2014		456,328	$	6.77		5.4	$	1,436,588
Exercisable at September 30, 2014		354,497	$	6.69		4.5	$	1,172,932

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.  The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant.  As of September 30, 2014, 1,720,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 456,328 option grants are outstanding, and 1,211,509 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 52,692 shares available for grant.

The fair values of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period).  Compensation expense related to stock options and the related income tax benefit for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013 are detailed in the following table:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Compensation expense	$	36,564	$	30,431	$	120,961	$	105,076
Income tax benefit		14,604		12,154		48,312		41,967

As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans totaled approximately $197 thousand.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0years. 

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock is issued under the stock bonus program to reward employees and directors and to retain them by distributing stock over a period of time.  The following table summarizes nonvested restricted stock activity for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014:

	Shares		Average grant date fair value
Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2013		95,625	$	6.67

Vested		(11,125)		6.15
Forfeited		-		-
Nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2014		95,500	$	6.87

Restricted stock awards granted to date vest over a period of 4 years and are recognized as compensation to the recipient over the vesting period.  The awards are recorded at fair market value at the time of grant and amortized into salary expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.  As of September 30, 2014,  471,551 shares of restricted stock were reserved for issuance, of which 221,838 shares are available for grant.

Restricted stock awards granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $483 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5years.

Perpetual Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provided the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets.  One of the programs resulting from the EESA was the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) which provided direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions.  The Company received an investment in perpetual preferred stock of $20.6 million on December 5, 2008.

On May 9, 2013, the Company announced that it received approval of its application from the U.S. Department of Treasury to redeem half of the 20,649 shares of preferred stock issued in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s CPP.  On May 15, 2013, the Company paid $10.3 million to the Treasury to repurchase 10,324 shares of the preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends for the shares.  On July 1, 2013, the Company announced that it received approval to redeem the remaining 10,325 shares of preferred stock.  On July 3, 2013, the Company paid $10.4 million to the Treasury to repurchase the remaining shares of the preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends for the shares.  On August 28, 2013, the Company completed the $2.7 million repurchase of the warrant to purchase  764,788 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s CPP. 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a forecasted period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

Management assesses its intent to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired with no intent to sell and no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income. For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan. The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio. The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale. When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs. In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield. Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans). When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet. Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient. These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors. All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status. Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off. All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above.

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans individually evaluated for impairment. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans. Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the section titled "Loan Portfolio" under Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors and reserves based on general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends. This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expenses and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections titled "Asset Quality" and "Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments" under Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to the asset and liability method. 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments [Abstract]

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Note 9. Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  At a minimum, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.  For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented the loans in its portfolio by loan type.  Loans are segmented into the following pools: SBA 7(a), SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgages, and consumer loans.  Certain portfolio segments are further broken down into classes based on the associated risks within those segments and the type of collateral underlying each loan.  Commercial loans are divided into the following three classes: commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and commercial other.  Consumer loans are divided into two classes as follows:  Home equity and other.

The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves.  The same standard methodology is used, regardless of loan type.  Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (see Note 1 for additional information on this term).  The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for the following environmental factors: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, changes in the volume of restructured loans, volume and loan term trends, changes in risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.  Within the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily as it believes it is more indicative of future charge-offs.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate and high risk.  Each environmental factor is evaluated separately for each class of loans and risk weighted based on its individual characteristics. 

· For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, the estimate of loss based on pools of loans with similar characteristics is made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis.  The loan grading system incorporates reviews of the financial performance of the borrower, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, earnings power, debt level and equity position, in conjunction with an assessment of the borrower's industry and future prospects.  It also incorporates analysis of the type of collateral and the relative loan to value ratio.

· For residential mortgage and consumer loans, the estimate of loss is based on pools of loans with similar characteristics.  Factors such as credit score, delinquency status and type of collateral are evaluated.  Factors are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in loss mitigation or credit origination strategies, and adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed.

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable.  All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company’s ability to collect on the credit.  Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.  This charge-off policy is followed for all loan types.

The allocated allowance is the total of identified specific and general reserves by loan category.  The allocation is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.The unallocated portion of the allowance increased for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 due to changes in environmental factors such as charge-off and recovery trends and improvements in industry conditions partially offset by growth in the loan portfolio and credits transferred into nonaccrual status needing a specific reserve.

Changes in Methodology:

The Company did not make any changes to its allowance for loan losses methodology in the current period.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the reserve which is classified as other liabilities.  At September 30, 2014, a $151 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $103 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2013.

ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40):  Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.”  ASU 2014-04 clarifies that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.  Additionally, ASU 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (a) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (b) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction.  The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014.  An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective transition method or prospective transition method.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments.

ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860):  Repurchase to Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.”  ASU 2014-11,  require two accounting changes:  1) repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and 2) repurchase financing arrangements, amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement.   ASU 2014-11 also requires additional disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings.  The accounting changes in this update are effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014.  Early application is prohibited.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard.

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  This ASU has three sections:

Section A – Summary and amendments that creates revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40);

Section B – Conforming amendments to other topics and subtopics in the codification and status tables;

Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

NOTE 4.  Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $808 thousand for an effective tax rate of 30.0 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $684 thousand and effective tax rate of 34.4 percent for the prior year’s quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported income tax expense of $2.2 million for an effective tax rate of 31.8 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million and effective tax rate of 33.8 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 included $305 thousand in tax-exempt income from a death benefit on BOLI.  Excluding this death benefit income the effective tax rate would have been 33.8 percent and 33.3 percent for the three and nine month periods, respectively.

The Company did not recognize or accrue any interest or penalties related to income taxes during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.  The Company did not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2010 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.

Net Income per Share [Abstract]

Net Income per Share

NOTE 3.  Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Net income available to common shareholders is calculated as net income less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock. 

Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options and warrants, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted income per share.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Overview

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the "Bank" or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the "Company"), and reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature, and in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.  The Bank has multiple subsidiaries used to hold part of its investment and loan portfolios and other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on current earnings or shareholders’ equity.  The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were available to be issued.

The interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of interim results.  The results of operations for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.  As used in this Form 10-Q, “we” and “us” and “our” refer to Unity Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Unity Bank, depending on the context.  Certain information and financial disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules.  Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Stock Transactions

Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors.  Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life in years		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		448,975	$	6.70		5.6	$	739,951
Options granted		41,000		7.90
Options exercised		(19,950)		4.62
Options cancelled		(13,697)		11.12
Outstanding at September 30, 2014		456,328	$	6.77		5.4	$	1,436,588
Exercisable at September 30, 2014		354,497	$	6.69		4.5	$	1,172,932

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.  The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant.  As of September 30, 2014, 1,720,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 456,328 option grants are outstanding, and 1,211,509 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 52,692 shares available for grant.

The fair values of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the three months ended September 30,						For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Number of options granted		-			-			41,000			25,000
Weighted average exercise price	$	-		$	-		$	7.90		$	6.02
Weighted average fair value of options	$	-		$	-		$	3.03		$	2.91
Expected life in years (1)		-			-			5.40			5.11
Expected volatility (2)		-	%		-	%		45.05	%		52.81	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		-	%		-	%		1.52	%		0.77	%
Dividend yield (4)		-	%		-	%		1.02	%		-	%

(1) The expected life of the options was estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(2) The expected volatility of the Company’s stock price was based on the historical volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. 

(3) The risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury rate commensurate with the expected life of the options on the date of grant.

(4) The expected dividend yield is the projected annual yield based on the grant date stock price.

Upon exercise, the Company issues shares from its authorized but unissued common stock to satisfy the options.  The following table presents information about options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period).  Compensation expense related to stock options and the related income tax benefit for the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013 are detailed in the following table:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Compensation expense	$	36,564	$	30,431	$	120,961	$	105,076
Income tax benefit		14,604		12,154		48,312		41,967

As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans totaled approximately $197 thousand.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0years. 

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock is issued under the stock bonus program to reward employees and directors and to retain them by distributing stock over a period of time.  The following table summarizes nonvested restricted stock activity for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2014:

	Shares		Average grant date fair value
Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2013		95,625	$	6.67

Vested		(11,125)		6.15
Forfeited		-		-
Nonvested restricted stock at September 30, 2014		95,500	$	6.87

Restricted stock awards granted to date vest over a period of 4 years and are recognized as compensation to the recipient over the vesting period.  The awards are recorded at fair market value at the time of grant and amortized into salary expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.  As of September 30, 2014,  471,551 shares of restricted stock were reserved for issuance, of which 221,838 shares are available for grant.

Restricted stock awards granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Income tax benefit		25,258		20,221		73,845		57,919

As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $483 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5years.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a forecasted period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

Management assesses its intent to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired with no intent to sell and no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income. For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loans

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan. The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio. The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale. When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs. In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield. Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans). When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet. Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient. These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors. All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status. Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off. All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above.

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans individually evaluated for impairment. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans. Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the section titled "Loan Portfolio" under Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors and reserves based on general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends. This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expenses and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the sections titled "Asset Quality" and "Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments" under Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to the asset and liability method. 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

Unrealized Losses

The unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above are discussed in the paragraphs that follow:

U.S. government sponsored entities and state and political subdivision securities: The unrealized losses on investments in these types of securities were caused by the increase in interest rate spreads or the increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve.  The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014.  There was no impairment on these securities at December 31, 2013.

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities:  The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads orthe increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Corporate and other securities: Included in this category are corporate debt securities, Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investments, asset-backed securities, and one trust preferred security.  The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities were due to widening credit spreads or the increase in interest rates at the long end of the Treasury curve and the unrealized losses on CRA investments were caused by decreases in the market prices of the shares.  The Company evaluated the prospects of the issuers and forecasted a recovery period; and as a result determined it did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.  The unrealized loss on the trust preferred security was caused by an inactive trading market and changes in market credit spreads.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, this category consisted of one single-issuer trust preferred security. The contractual terms do not allow the security to be settled at a price less than the par value.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

· For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company sold approximately $17.5 million in book value of available for sale municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate bonds, resulting in pre-tax gains of approximately $385 thousand.

For the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013, there were gross realized gains of $34thousand and $371 thousand, respectively.  There were no realized losses during the third quarter of 2013 and gross realized losses of $4 thousand for the year-to-date period.  The net realized gains during 2013 were a result of the following:

· For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold approximately $11.8 million in book value of available for sale asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds, resulting in pre-tax gains of approximately $371 thousand.

Pledged Securities

Securities with a carrying value of $53.1 million and $74.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.  Included in these figures was $33.6 million and $19.9 million pledged  against municipal deposits at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Fair Value

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

NOTE 6.  Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

· These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of available for sale ("AFS") securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1).  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of the Company's AFS securities portfolio was $66.1 million.  Approximately 55 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $36.1 million at September 30, 2014.  Approximately $35.0 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. 

All of the Company’s AFS securities were classified as Level 2 assets at September 30, 2014.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information.  It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities. 

At December 31, 2013, the Company’s AFS securities included commercial mortgage-backed securities which were classified as Level 3 assets.  For commercial mortgage-backed securities, the inputs used by either dealer market participants or an independent pricing service, may be derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).  In these instances, management evaluates the appropriateness and quality of the assumptions and the resulting prices.  In addition, management reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value and this results in fair values based on Level 3 inputs.  In determining fair value, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs which reflect its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing each security.  In developing its assertion of market participant assumptions, the Company utilizes the best information that is both reasonable and available without undue cost and effort.

In calculating the fair value for AFS securities under Level 3, management prepared present value cash flow models for certain private label commercial mortgage-backed securities.  Private label commercial mortgage-backed securities owned by the Bank are A1 and A2 tranche sequential structures and are currently paying principal.  The cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities incorporated the expected cash flow of each security adjusted for default rates, loss severities and prepayments of the individual loans collateralizing the security.  The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 inputs used to measure the fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2013:

Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted Cash Flow	Prepayment rate	8 through 15	%	10.0	%
	Default rate	10 through 15	%	12.5	%
	Loss severity	10 through 25	%	18.0	%

Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in the table above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the securities.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

For the Level 3 available for sale private label commercial mortgage-backed securities, cash flow assumptions incorporate independent third party market participant data based on vintage year for each security.  The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities was arrived at by combining the yield on orderly transactions for similar maturity government sponsored mortgage-backed securities with (i) the historical average risk premium of similar structured private label securities, (ii) a risk premium reflecting current market conditions, including liquidity risk and (iii) if applicable, a forecasted loss premium derived from the expected cash flows of each security.  The estimated cash flows for each private label commercial mortgage-backed security are then discounted at the aforementioned effective rate to determine the fair value.  The quoted prices received from either market participants or independent pricing services are weighted with the internal price estimate to determine the fair value of each instrument.

There were no changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the periods ended December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Appraisal Policy

All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP").  Appraisals are certified to the Company and performed by appraisers on the Company’s approved list of appraisers.  Evaluations are completed by a person independent of Company management.  The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property.  Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”.

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount ranges from 10 to 25 percent and is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business. Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 8 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")

The fair value of OREO is determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).  

Impaired Collateral-Dependent Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”  Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  Partially charged-off loans are measured for impairment based upon an appraisal for collateral-dependent loans.  When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal is discounted in the manner discussed above. If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status.  The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status. The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status generally when the borrower makes nine months of contractual payments and demonstrates the ability to service the debt going forward.  Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.  At September 30, 2014, the valuation allowance for impaired loans was $951 thousand, a decrease of $186 thousand from $1.1 million at December 31, 2013.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the hierarchy (as described above) as of September 30, 2014 and the fair value gains (losses) recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. These estimated fair values as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.  The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Held to Maturity

The fair value of held to maturity ("HTM") securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.  Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value).  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Standby Letters of Credit

At September 30, 2014, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.4 million, consistent with December 31, 2013.  The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

The table below presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not previously presented as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Loans are made to individuals as well as commercial entities. Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower. Credit risk tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Bank. As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area. However, during late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area. Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type. A description of the Company's different loan segments follows:

SBA Loans: SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment. SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans are guaranteed by the businesses' major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

SBA 504 Loans: The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property. SBA 504 loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided. Generally, the Company has a 50 percent loan to value ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination.

Commercial Loans: Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers. Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' major owners. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

ResidentialMortgage and Consumer Loans: The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans. Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company’s relationship with the borrower.

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan. A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans. The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to credit administration policies and procedures. Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The Company's extension of credit is governed by the Credit Risk Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company's loans. These policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

Credit Ratings

For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality. A loan’s internal risk rating is updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating. The Company uses a 1 through 10 loan grading system that follows regulatorily accepted definitions.

Pass: Risk ratings of 1 through 6 are used for loans that are performing, as they meet, and are expected to continue to meet, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation, and are generally current on principal and interest payments. These performing loans are termed “Pass”.

Special Mention: Criticized loans are assigned a risk rating of 7 and termed “Special Mention”, as the borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Bank’s collateral and position. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable and no loss of interest or principal is anticipated. As a result, special mention assets do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Included in “Special Mention” could be turnaround situations, such as borrowers with deteriorating trends beyond one year, borrowers in startup or deteriorating industries, or borrowers with a poor market share in an average industry. "Special Mention" loans may include an element of asset quality, financial flexibility, or below average management. Management and ownership may have limited depth or experience. Regulatory agencies have agreed on a consistent definition of “Special Mention” as an asset with potential weaknesses which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. This definition is intended to ensure that the “Special Mention” category is not used to identify assets that have as their sole weakness credit data exceptions or collateral documentation exceptions that are not material to the repayment of the asset.

Substandard: Classified loans are assigned a risk rating of an 8 or 9, depending upon the prospect for collection, and deemed “Substandard”. A risk rating of 8 is used for borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan is inadequately protected by the current paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified “Substandard”.

A risk rating of 9 is used for borrowers that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan with a risk rating of 8, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures; capital injection; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing plans. Partial charge-offs are likely.

Loss: Once a borrower is deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt, the risk rating becomes a 10, the loan is termed a “Loss”, and charged-off immediately. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless assets even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality. Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis, as a loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan.

Nonperforming and Past Due Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans and generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status. The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors. The improved state of the economy has resulted in a substantial reduction in nonperforming loans and loan delinquencies. The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market. In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrowers’ financial statements and tax returns.

Impaired Loans

The Company has defined impaired loans to be all nonperforming loans individually evaluated for impairment and troubled debt restructurings.  Management considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.  Impairment is evaluated on an individual basis for SBA, SBA 504, and commercial loans.

The following table provides detail on the Company’s impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of September 30, 2014:

The following tables present the average recorded investments in impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time period in which the loans were impaired for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of impaired loans.  When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method, and therefore no interest income is recognized.  The interestincome recognized on impaired loans noted below represents primarily accruing troubled debt restructurings and nominalamounts of income recognized on a cash basis for well-collateralized impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company's loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, unless it results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance. This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

TDRs of $7.7million and $7.9 million are included in the impaired loan numbers as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Specific reserves for these TDRs were $288 thousand and $363 thousand as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At September 30, 2014, $3.5 million of TDRs were in nonaccrual status, compared to $467 thousand at December 31, 2013.  The increase during the nine month period was due to the transfer of 3 loans, one of which was $2.7 million, into nonaccrual status. The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they continue to perform in accordance with their restructured terms.

There were no loans modified during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014that were deemed to be TDRs.  There were no loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2013 that were deemed to be TDRs.  There was one such loan modified in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The following table details loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, including the number of modifications and the recorded investment at the time of the modification.

	2014						2013

Total	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	1	$	2,684	$	33

There were no loans modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted at some point during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  There was one loan modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  In this case, the subsequent default is defined as 90 days past due or transferred to nonaccrual status.  These defaults are detailed in the following table:
