Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp. and WTRO Properties. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008 or any other future interim period.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2007.
2. | Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

3. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s shareholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2006 Stock Option Plan at the annual meeting on April 25, 2006 and the Company awarded 47,700 options in 2006 and 22,000 options in 2007, all of which have a twelve month vesting period. As of March 31, 2008, there was approximately $115,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options under the plan, which will be fully amortized by December 31, 2008.
No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008. A summary of stock options from all plans, adjusted for stock dividends declared, is shown below.

Intrinsic value represents the amount by which the market price of the stock on the measurement date exceeded the exercise price of the option. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $89,000, cash received from such exercises was $91,000 and the tax benefit recognized was $17,000.
4. | Cash Flow Information |
For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, all of which mature within 90 days and federal funds sold.
Cash payments for interest for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $3,401,000 and $2,480,000 respectively. Cash payments for income taxes for the periods ending March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $4,000. Non-cash investing activity for 2008 and 2007 included repossession of other assets of $11,000 and $24,000, respectively.
5. | Comprehensive Income |
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such
8
items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows.

6. | Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees |
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.
The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional
9
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2008 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.
7. | Fair Value Measurements |
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No.157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SFAS 157-2, “Effective date of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15,2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 and FSP No. FAS 157-2 had no impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
The primary effect of SFAS 157 on the Company was to expand the required disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values.
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for
identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value
measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).
As asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
10
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2008 are as follows:

The following valuation techniques were used to measure fair value of assets in the table above on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008:
Available for Sale Securities:
The Company holds equity securities which are traded with quoted prices, on an active market. Such securities are carried at a market price quote and considered Level 1 Fair Values.
The Company also holds debt offerings of U.S. Government Agencies, state and political subdivisions, high-grade corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. The Company utilizes a third party source to provide fair value of its fixed income securities. The methodology consists of pricing models based on asset class and include available trade, bid, other market information, broker quotes, proprietary models, various databases and trading desk quotes. This valuation is based on observable inputs and is considered Level 2.
Loans:
Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is first considered impaired. The realizable value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loan and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The value of real estate related collateral is established by a formal appraisal performed for the Company. The loan is carried at the lower of cost or market, net of any valuation allowance. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted as needed. Impaired loans totaled $3,230,000 as of March 31, 2008 compared to $3,208,000 as of December 31, 2007. There were no new impaired loans added during the three months ended March 31, 2008, no principal reductions and a $22,000 advance on one loan.
8. | New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (EITF 06-4). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit
11
during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policyholder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 on January 1, 2008 as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment of retained earnings of $520,000.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our Company January 1, 2008. The Company adopted the standards but did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.
FASB Statement No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations” was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement will impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.
FASB Statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that this new pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (SAB 109), “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” expresses the views of the staff regarding written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings under generally accepted accounting principles. To make the staff’s views consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance, the SAB revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.” Specifically, the SAB revises the SEC staff’s views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value
12
measurement of a written loan commitment. The SAB retains the staff’s views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to internally-developed intangible assets in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. The staff expects registrants to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. SAB 109 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 states that an entity should recognize a realized tax benefit associated with dividends on nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units and outstanding equity share options charged to retained earnings as an increase in additional paid in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 should be applied prospectively to income tax benefits of dividends on equity-classified share-based payment awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 06-11 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (Statement 161). Statement 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. Statement 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 has been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions.” This FSP addresses the issue of whether or not these transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one “linked” transaction. The FSP includes a “rebuttable presumption” that presumes linkage of the two transactions unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words believes, anticipates, contemplates, expects, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening a new branch, the ability to control costs and expenses, demand for real estate and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies
Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, accounting for stock options, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Non-performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses” in the “Financial Condition” section.
The deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.
In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities, the Company considers 1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost 2) the financial condition of the issuer and 3) the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security to allow for a recovery to fair value. The Company believes that the unrealized losses in certain specific securities at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 represent temporary impairment of the securities.
14
Changes in Financial Condition
General
Total assets as of March 31, 2008 were $484.0 million compared to $480.6 million as of December 31, 2007 an increase of $3.4 million. The increase reflects a $6.6 million, or 5.4%, increase in the securities available for sale portfolio, partially offset by a $2.0 million, or 0.6% decrease in loans receivable and a $748,000 or 8.3% decrease in cash and cash and cash equivalents.
Securities
The fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2008 was $130.6 million compared to $124 million as of December 31, 2007. The Company purchased $20.9 million of securities principally using the proceeds from $15.3 million of securities called, maturities and principal reductions.
The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio (Available-for Sale and Held-to Maturity) consisted of the following:

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In Management’s opinion, the unrealized losses principally reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. The Company’s available-for-sale portfolio has an average repricing term of 2.6 years. Interest rates in the 2-5 year section of the treasury yield curve decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2008 favorably impacting the fair value of many of the individual securities. Management believes that the unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities and are the result of changes in interest rates. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery. The Company monitors the credit ratings of its Corporate Securities, which may impact the valuation of the securities. The credit ratings as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were all within the Company’s policy Guidelines.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable totaled $329.4 million compared to $331.3 million as of December 31, 2007. Residential real estate loans decreased $10.2 million principally due to the sale of $13.9 million of 30 year fixed rate residential mortgages. The loans were sold for interest rate risk management to shorten the average life of the mortgage loan portfolio. Commercial real estate
15
loans increased $8.3 million during the period. Consumer loans declined $0.9 million due to continued run-off in the Company’s indirect automobile portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $4,137,000 as of March 31, 2008 and represented 1.26% of total loans, compared to $4,081,000 at year end, and $3,871,000 as of March 31, 2007. The Company had net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $19,000 compared to $7,000 in the comparable period in 2007. The Company’s loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries; economic and industry conditions; trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, large dollar exposures and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at March 31, 2008 based on the Company’s criteria. However,
16
there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.
As of March 31, 2008, non-performing loans totaled $302,000, which is .09% of total loans compared to $163,000, or 0.05% of total loans at December 31, 2007. The Company had $2,034,000 in restructured loans as of March 31, 2008 related to a land development loan to a borrower. The interest rate on the loan was reduced to improve the borrower’s cash flow.

The convertible notes contain an option which allows the FHLB, at quarterly intervals to change the note to an adjustable-rate advance at three month LIBOR plus 11 to 17 basis points. If the notes are converted, the option allows the Bank to put the funds back to the FHLB at no charge.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios
As of March 31, 2008, stockholders’ equity totaled $56.6 million, compared to $55.8 million as of December 31, 2007. The net change in stockholders’ equity included $1,779,000 in net income, that was partially offset by $686,000 of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $666,000 due to an increase in fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of tax. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.
A comparison of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

The minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC on the Bank for leverage, Tier 1 and Total Capital are 4%, 4% and 8%, respectively. The Company has similar capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Bank is also subject to more stringent Pennsylvania Department of Banking (PDB) guidelines. The Bank’s capital ratios do not differ significantly from the Company’s ratios. Although not adopted in regulation form, the PDB utilizes capital standards requiring a minimum of 6.5% leverage capital and 10% total capital. The Company and the Bank were in compliance with FRB, FDIC and PDB capital requirements as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.3 million in the form of cash, due from banks, and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $130.6 million which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $138.9 million and represents 28.7% of total assets compared to
19
$133.1 million and 27.7% of total assets as of December 31, 2007. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity is adequate.
Capital Resources
The Company has a line of credit commitment available from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh for borrowings of up to $20,000,000 which expires in December 2011. There were no borrowings under this line at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
The Company has a line of credit commitment from Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for $7,000,000 which expires in May 2008 and Wachovia Bank for $2,000,000 which has no stated expiration date. There were no borrowings under these lines as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from PNC for $12,000,000. Borrowings under this line were $6,660,000 as of March 31, 2008 and $800,000 as of December 31, 2007.
The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was approximately $222,250,000 of which $23,000,000 was outstanding at March 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on page 21. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended March 31, 2008, totaled $4,481,000, an increase of $261,000 or 6.2% over the similar period in 2007. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.25% and 3.90%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.15% and 3.85%, respectively for the similar period in 2007.
Interest income (fte) totaled $7,306,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 6.37% compared to $7,208,000 and 6.58% for the 2007 period. The decrease in yield was due to the lower prime interest rate which was 5.25% as of March 31, 2008 compared to 8.25% as of March 31, 2007. The Company has $67 million of floating rate loans tied to prime rate. As a result, the fte yield on loans declined to 6.93% in the current period from 7.35% for the same period in the prior year. The yield on the securities available for sale portfolio increased to 4.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 4.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in yield was the result of lower yielding securities originally purchased in the lower interest rate environment of 2003 and 2004, maturing with the proceeds invested in securities with higher yields. In addition, an increase of $21 million in average earning assets partially offset the lower loan yields.
23
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $2,825,000 at an average cost of 3.12% compared to $2,988,000 and 3.43% for the similar period in 2007. As a result of the decrease in short-term interest rates, the Company reduced rates paid on its money market and cash management accounts included in short-term borrowings. Also, the cost of time deposits declined to 4.31% in the current period from 4.57% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current lower rates resulting in the decrease.
Other Income
Other income totaled $1,262,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $894,000 for the similar period in 2007. The increase is due to the gain of $388,000 on the sale of $13.9 million in 30 year fixed rate residential mortgages to FNMA in the current period compared to $7,000 in similar gains for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Other Expense
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $2,961,000, an increase of $100,000 or 3.5% over $2,861,000 for the similar period in the prior year. Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased $49,000 or 3.3%. Data processing related expenses increased $14,000 or 8.1% principally due to costs associated with the Bank’s remote deposit capture product and branch image capture. The efficiency ratio, other expense as a percentage of net interest income (fte) plus other income, was 51.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, improving from 55.9% for the similar period in 2007.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $771,000 for an effective tax rate of 30.2% for the period ending March 31, 2008 compared to $611,000 for an effective tax rate of 29.5% for the similar period in 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk
Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.
Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of March 31, 2008, the level of net interest income at risk in a 200 basis points change in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 8% of net interest income.
24
Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.
As of March 31, 2008, the Bank had a positive 90 day interest sensitivity gap of $17.0 million or 3.5% of total assets, increasing from $6.0 million or 1.3% of total assets as of December 31, 2007. The change was principally due to a lower level of time deposits maturing in the 90 day time frame as of March 31, 2008. A positive gap means that rate-sensitive assets are greater than rate-sensitive liabilities at the time interval. This would indicate that in a declining rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets could decrease faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90 day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.
