NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of First National Community Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Community Bank (the “Bank”), as well as the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 have been included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior period amounts have been reclassified when necessary to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications did not have an impact on the operating results or financial position of the Company. The operating results and financial position of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 may not be indicative of future results of operations and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), investment security valuations, the evaluation of investment securities and other real estate owned (“OREO”) for impairment, and the evaluation of deferred income taxes.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements, included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q.

Note 2.New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requires enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-11 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. ASU No. 2012-02 allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” clarifies the scope of transactions that are subject to the disclosures about offsetting, specifically that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11. This update applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company adopted ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

8

ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. The new amendments require an organization to: present either on the face of the statement where income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income; or cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to income in their entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report other comprehensive income. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company; however, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures related to the adoption of ASU No. 2013-02.

Note 3.Regulatory Matters

The Bank is under a Consent Order (the “Order”) from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) dated September 1, 2010. The Company is also subject to a Written Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (the “Reserve Bank”) dated November 24, 2010.

OCC Consent Order. The Bank, pursuant to a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order dated September 1, 2010, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, consented and agreed to the issuance of the Order by the OCC, the Bank’s primary regulator. The Order requires the Bank to undertake certain actions within designated timeframes, and to operate in compliance with the provisions thereof during its term. The Order is based on the results of an examination of the Bank as of March 31, 2009. Since the examination, management has engaged in ongoing discussions with the OCC and has taken steps to improve the condition, policies and procedures of the Bank. Compliance with the Order is monitored by a committee (the “Committee”) of at least three directors, none of whom is an employee or controlling shareholder of the Bank or its affiliates or a family member of any such person. The Committee is required to submit written progress reports on a monthly basis to the OCC. The Committee has submitted each of the required monthly progress reports with the OCC. The members of the Committee are John P. Moses, Joseph Coccia, Joseph J. Gentile and Thomas J. Melone. The material provisions of the Order are set forth below with a description of the status of the Bank’s effort to comply with such provisions:

(i) By October 31, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”) was required to adopt and implement a three-year strategic plan which must be submitted to the OCC for review and prior determination of no supervisory objection; the strategic plan must establish objectives for the Bank’s overall risk profile, earnings performance, growth, balance sheet mix, off-balance sheet activities, liability structure, capital adequacy, reduction in the volume of nonperforming assets, product line development, and market segments that the Bank intends to promote or develop, and is to include strategies to achieve those objectives; if the strategic plan involves the sale or merger of the Bank, it must address the timeline and steps to be followed to provide for a definitive agreement within 90 days after the receipt of a determination of no supervisory objection;

Thereafter, the Company must notify the Reserve Bank within 45 days of the end of any quarter in which the Company’s capital ratios fall below the approved capital plan’s minimum ratios, and submit an acceptable written plan to increase the Company’s capital ratios above the capital plan’s minimums;

12

The Company has developed a Capital Plan that it believes is acceptable and maintains sufficient capital at the Company on a consolidated basis. The Capital Plan was submitted to the Reserve Bank on January 11, 2011. The Capital Plan has since been updated at least annually and forwarded to the Reserve Bank.

Given the inability to achieve the minimum capital requirements of the Order at the Bank level, the Company continues to update the Reserve Bank on a quarterly basis of its plans to increase its capital ratios above the Capital Plan minimums.

(ix) the Company was required to immediately take all actions necessary to ensure that: (1) each regulatory report accurately reflects the Company’s condition on the date for which it is filed and all material transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries; (2) each such report is prepared in accordance with its instructions; and (3) all records indicating how the report was prepared are maintained for supervisory review;

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred approximately $292 thousand and $585 thousand, respectively, of expenses related to complying with these regulatory agreements, consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees. In addition, the Order and the Agreement place restrictions on the Company’s ability to borrow funds and to pay interest and dividends to its security holders. In the future, the Company may continue to experience increased costs related to compliance with these regulatory agreements and also expects to face certain restrictions on its operations for as long as it continues to operate under the Order and the Agreement. The Company expects, however, that future compliance expenses will continue to decrease from the 2012 level.

13

The Order and Agreement have not and are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s ability to attract and maintain deposits or the Company’s cost of funds. In order to meet the increased capital requirements imposed under the Order and the Agreement, however, unless the Company is able to raise additional capital, the Company could be limited in the aggregate amount of loans it can have outstanding, which may constrain loan growth. While it is not anticipated that the Order and the Agreement will have an impact on the Company’s net interest margin, the overall cost of compliance with the Order and the Agreement is expected to impact profitability at least through the end of 2013.

Banking regulations also limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of the Bank’s regulatory agency. As of November 12, 2013, the Company and the Bank are restricted from paying any dividends without regulatory approval.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices must be met. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC approved the final Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (the “Regulatory Capital Rules”) implementing regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

The Regulatory Capital Rules are effective on January 1, 2014; however, the mandatory compliance date for the Company and the Bank as “standardized approach” banking organizations begins on January 1, 2015 and is subject to transitional provisions extending to January 1, 2019. The Regulatory Capital Rules include new risk-based capital and leverage ratios and refine the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios. The new minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank under the Regulatory Capital Rules will be:

·     a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%;

·     a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%);

·     a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and

·     a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for all institutions.

The Regulatory Capital Rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and result in the following minimum ratios:

·     a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%;

·     a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%; and

·     a total capital ratio of 10.5%.

The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

The Regulatory Capital Rules also implement revisions and clarifications consistent with Basel III regarding the various components of Tier 1 capital, including common equity, unrealized gains and losses, as well as certain instruments that will no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, some of which will be phased out over time.

The Regulatory Capital Rules also revise the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to place restrictions on insured depository institutions, including the Bank, if their capital levels begin to show signs of weakness. These revisions will take effect January 1, 2015. Under the prompt corrective action requirements, which are designed to complement the capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions will be required to meet the following increased capital level requirements in order to qualify as “well capitalized:”

·     a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5%;

·     a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% (increased from 6%);

·     a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% (unchanged from current rules); and

·     a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% (increased from 4%).

14

The Regulatory Capital Rules set forth certain changes for the calculation of risk-weighted assets, which we will be required to utilize beginning January 1, 2015. The provisions applicable to banking organizations under the “standardized approach” include changes with respect to risk weights for commercial real estate loans, past due exposures and conversion factors for commitments with an original maturity of one year or less.

Current quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

In accordance with the Order, the Bank is required to achieve and thereafter maintain total risk-based capital equal to at least 13% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital equal to at least 9% of adjusted total assets. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank was not in compliance with these requirements. The minimum capital requirements under the Order take precedence over the standard regulatory capital adequacy definitions described in the tables below. The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital positions and ratios at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are presented in the following table:

The Company has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to certain executive officers and directors of the Company as well as to certain related parties of executive officers and directors. See Note 10 to these consolidated financial statements for more information about related party transactions.

The Company originates one-to-four family mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary market. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold $2.5 and $9.0 million, respectively, of one-to-four family mortgages. The Company retains servicing rights on these mortgages.

The Company had $884 thousand and $1.6 million in loans held-for-sale at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. All loans held for sale are one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.

The Company does not have any lending programs commonly referred to as subprime lending. Subprime lending generally targets borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, and bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios.

See Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2012 Form 10-K for the risk characteristics related to the Company’s loan segments.

16

The Company provides for loan losses based on the consistent application of its documented ALLL methodology. Loan losses are charged to the ALLL and recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the ALLL are provided by charges against income based on various factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition of estimated probable losses. Loan losses are charged-off in the period the loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. Generally, the Company will record a loan charge-off (including a partial charge-off) to reduce a loan to the estimated recoverable amount based on its methodology detailed below. The Company regularly reviews the loan portfolio and makes adjustments for loan losses in order to maintain the ALLL in accordance with GAAP. The ALLL consists primarily of the following two components:

(1)Specific allowances are established for impaired loans, which are defined by the Company as all loan relationships with an aggregate outstanding balance greater than $100 thousand that are rated substandard and on non-accrual status, rated doubtful or loss, and all troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”). The amount of impairment provided for as an allowance is represented by the deficiency, if any, between the carrying value of the loan and either (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, (b) the loan’s observable market price, or (c) the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans. Impaired loans that have no impairment losses are not considered for general valuation allowances described below. If the Company determines that collection of the impairment amount is remote, the Company will record a charge-off. 

(2)General allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired. The Company divides its portfolio into loan segments, with loans exhibiting similar characteristics. Loans rated special mention or substandard and accruing which are embedded in these loan segments are then separated from these loan segments. These loans are then subject to an analysis placing increased emphasis on the credit risk associated with these types of loans. The Company applies an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based on the Company’s own historical loss experience based on the loss rate for each segment of loans with similar risk characteristics in its portfolio. In addition, management evaluates and applies certain qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Company’s existing portfolio to differ from historical experience, which are discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the ALLL that is established, which could have a material negative effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

Management makes adjustments for loan losses based on its evaluation of several qualitative and environmental factors, including but not limited to:

·     Changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;

·     Changes in the nature and volume of the Company’s loan portfolio;

·     Changes in the Company’s lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery practices and results;

·     Changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s lending management and staff;

·     Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors;

·     Changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;

·     The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations;

·     The effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Company's current loan portfolio; and

·     Analysis of customers’ credit quality, including knowledge of their operating environment and financial condition.

Management evaluates the ALLL based on the combined total of the impaired and general components. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the ALLL methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses. Conversely, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the ALLL methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses.

Each quarter, management evaluates the ALLL and adjusts the ALLL as appropriate through a provision for loan losses. While the Company uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the ALLL may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of its examination process, the OCC periodically reviews the Company’s ALLL. The OCC may require the Company to adjust the ALLL based on its analysis of information available to it at the time of its examination.

Credit Quality Indicators – Commercial Loans

The Company continuously monitors the credit quality of its commercial loans. Credit quality is monitored by reviewing certain credit quality indicators. Management has determined that its credit risk ratings are the key credit quality indicator that best help management monitor the credit quality of the Company’s loan receivables.

The Bank’s commercial loan classification and credit grading processes are part of the lending, underwriting, and credit administration functions to ensure an ongoing assessment of credit quality. Accurate and timely loan classification and credit grading is a critical component of loan portfolio management. Loan officers are required to review their loan portfolio risk ratings regularly for accuracy. The loan review function uses the same risk rating system in the loan review process. This allows an independent third party to assess the quality of the portfolio and compare the accuracy of ratings with the loan officer’s and management’s assessment.

A formal loan classification and credit grading system reflects the risk of default and credit losses. A written description of the risk ratings is maintained that includes a discussion of the factors used to assign appropriate classifications of credit grades to loans. The process identifies groups of loans that warrant the special attention of management. The risk grade groupings provide a mechanism to identify risk within the loan portfolio and provide management and the Board with periodic reports by risk category. The credit risk ratings play an important role in the establishment and evaluation of the provision for loan and lease losses and the ALLL. After determining the historical loss factor which is adjusted for qualitative and environmental factors for each portfolio segment, the portfolio segment balances that have been collectively evaluated for impairment are multiplied by the general reserve loss factor for the respective portfolio segments to determine the general reserve. Loans that have an internal credit rating of special mention or substandard follow the same process; however, the qualitative and environmental factors are further adjusted for the increased risk.

18

The Company utilizes a loan rating system that assigns a degree of risk to commercial loans based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. Management analyzes these non-homogeneous loans individually by grading the loans as to credit risk and probability of collection for each type of loan. Commercial loans include commercial indirect auto loans which are not individually risk rated, and Construction, Land Acquisition and Development Loans include residential construction loans which are also not individually risk rated. These loans are monitored on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature as described in “Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans” below. The Company risk rates certain residential real estate loans and consumer loans that are part of a larger commercial relationship using its credit grading system. The grading system contains the following basic risk categories:

1. Minimal Risk

2. Above Average Credit Quality

3. Average Risk

4. Acceptable Risk

5. Pass - Watch

6. Special Mention

7. Substandard - Accruing

8. Substandard - Non-Accrual

9. Doubtful

10. Loss

This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis using the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Assets rated 1 through 5 are considered pass ratings. These assets show no current or potential problems and are considered fully collectible. All such loans are considered collectively for ALLL calculation purposes. However, accruing TDRs that have been performing for an extended period of time, do not represent a higher risk of loss, and have been upgraded to a pass rating are evaluated individually for impairment.

Special Mention – Assets classified as special mention assets do not currently expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant an adverse classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving close attention. Special Mention assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk which, if not corrected, could weaken the asset and increase risk in the future.

Substandard – Assets classified as substandard have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on current circumstances.

Loss – Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted.

Credit Quality Indicators – Other Loans

Certain residential real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial indirect auto loans are monitored on a pool basis due to their homogeneous nature. Loans that are delinquent 90 days or more are considered non-accrual. The Company utilizes accruing versus non-accruing status as the credit quality indicator for these loan pools. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential real estate loans, consumer loans and commercial indirect auto loans based on payment activity as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Total	$	214,105	$	2,143	$	216,248	$	182,093	$	1,815	$	183,908

Included in loans receivable are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers. The recorded investment in these non-accrual loans was $7.2 million and $9.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Generally, loans are placed on non-accruing status when they become 90 days or more delinquent, and remain on non-accrual status until they are brought current, have six months of performance under the loan terms and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be fewer than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accruing status. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $7 thousand and $57 thousand at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and consisted of loans that are well secured and are in the process of renewal.

The following tables present a distribution of the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance and the related allowance for the Company’s impaired loans, which have been analyzed for impairment under ASC 310, at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Non-accrual loans, other than TDRs, with individual balances less than $100 thousand are not evaluated individually for impairment and are accordingly not included in the following tables. However, these loans are evaluated collectively for impairment as homogenous pools in the general allowance under ASC 450. Total non-accrual loans, other than TDRs, with individual balances less than $100 thousand that were evaluated under ASC 450 amounted to $1.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2012.

(1) Interest income represents income recognized on performing TDRs.

The additional interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual and restructured loans in accordance with their original terms approximated $68 thousand and $457 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $376 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans (“TDRs”) at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $10.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Accruing and non-accruing TDRs were $6.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively at September 30, 2013 and $7.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively at December 31, 2012. Approximately $321 thousand and $257 thousand in specific reserves have been established for these loans as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. There were no loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended September 30, 2013. 

The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following tables show the pre- and post- modification recorded investment in loans modified as TDRs by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

One of the loans modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is supported by a 90.0% guarantee by the Small Business Administration. The unguaranteed portion of this loan was $402 thousand and the restructuring had no effect on the ALLL at September 30, 2013. The other loan modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulted in an increase to the ALLL of $1 thousand at September 30, 2013.

The following table shows the types of modifications made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

The following table presents the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s debt securities at September 30, 2013 using contractual maturities.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturity because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Because collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities are not due at a single maturity date, they are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary.

The majority of the Company’s securities portfolio is comprised of obligations of states and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed securities, including home equity conversion mortgages, and collateralized mortgage obligations. The Company held a total of 78 securities that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2013, with 11 of those securities in unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Substantially all of the unrealized losses relate to debt securities.

In determining whether unrealized losses are other-than-temporary, management considers the following factors:

⋅	The causes of the decline in fair value, such as credit deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, or market volatility;
⋅	The severity and duration of the decline;
⋅	The Company’s ability and intent to hold the security to allow for recovery in fair value, as well as the likelihood of such a recovery in the near term;
⋅	The Company’s intent to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss.

Management performed a review of the fair values of all securities as of September 30, 2013 and determined that movements in the fair values of the securities were consistent with the change in market interest rates. As a result of its review and considering the attributes of these debt securities, the Company concluded that other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) did not exist at September 30, 2013. To date, the Company has received all scheduled principal and interest payments and expects to fully collect all future contractual principal and interest payments. The Company does not intend to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities.

Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss at September 30, 2013 represents OTTI. The unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations relate entirely to securities issued by GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA that are currently rated AAA by Moody’s Investor Services or Aaa by Standard & Poor’s and are guaranteed by the U.S. government. The obligations of state and political subdivisions are comprised entirely of general-purpose debt obligations. The majority of these obligations have a credit quality rating of A or better and are secured by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer. In addition, the Company utilized a third party to perform an independent credit analysis of its state and political subdivision bonds that were either non-rated or had a rating below A. There were two obligations of state and political subdivisions that were either non-rated or had a rating below A. However, according to the independent credit analysis these two bonds were considered investment grade.

OTTI of Pooled Trust Preferred Collateralized Debt Obligations (“PreTSLs”):

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s PreTSLs were comprised of four securities that were collateralized by debt issued by bank holding companies and insurance companies with an aggregate amortized cost of $10.3 million and an estimated fair value of $6.1 million. The Company divested its entire holdings of PreTSLs during 2012 and held no such securities at September 30, 2013.

The following table provides a cumulative rollforward of credit losses recognized:

Investments in FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB stock, which have limited marketability, are carried at cost and totaled $3.9 million and $7.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. FRB stock of $1.3 million is included in Other Assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Management noted no indicators of impairment for the FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB of Philadelphia at September 30, 2013.

Note 7.Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. Accounting standards establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflects the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions the market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

30

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

⋅     Level 1 valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

⋅     Level 2 valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data.

⋅     Level 3 valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.

An 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.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value, and for estimating fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value, is set forth below.

Cash, Short-term Investments, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

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

Securities

The estimated fair values of available-for-sale equity securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges (Level 1 inputs). The estimated fair values for the Company’s investments in obligations of U.S. government agencies, obligations of state and political subdivisions, government sponsored agency collateralized mortgage obligations, government sponsored agency residential mortgage backed securities, and corporate debt securities are obtained by the Company from a nationally-recognized pricing service. This pricing service develops estimated fair values by analyzing like securities and applying available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing (Level 2 inputs), to prepare valuations. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things and are based on market data obtained from sources independent from the Company. The Level 2 investments in the Company’s portfolio are priced using those inputs that, based on the analysis prepared by the pricing service, reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the assets. The Company has determined that the Level 2 designation is appropriate for these securities because, as with most fixed-income securities, those in the Company’s portfolio are not exchange-traded, and such non-exchange-traded fixed income securities are typically priced by correlation to observed market data. The Company has reviewed the pricing service’s methodology to confirm its understanding that such methodology results in a valuation based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted markets for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which the significant assumptions can be corroborated by market data as appropriate to a Level 2 designation.

For those securities for which the inputs used by an independent pricing service were derived from unobservable market information, the Company evaluated the appropriateness and quality of each price. The Company reviewed the volume and level of activity for all classes of securities and attempted 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 (fair values based on Level 3 inputs). If applicable, the adjustment to fair value was derived based on present value cash flow model projections prepared by the Company or obtained from third party providers utilizing assumptions similar to those incorporated by market participants. The estimated fair value of the PreTSLs and the private label collateralized mortgage obligations that were previously held in the Company’s securities portfolio during 2012 were obtained from third-party service providers that prepared the valuation using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).

31

At September 30, 2013, the Company owned one security issued by a state and political subdivision with an amortized cost of $740 thousand and fair value of $710 thousand that is valued using Level 3 inputs. The market for this security has not been active since the credit rating of the issuer was downgraded by several nationally recognized credit rating agencies in 2010. The Company obtained a bid indication from a third-party municipal trading desk to determine the fair value of this security at September 30, 2013.

Loans

Except for collateral dependent impaired loans, fair values are estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using market discount rates that reflect the credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. The estimated fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised loan value or other reasonable offers less estimated costs to sell. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for credit losses is established. The specific reserves for collateral dependent impaired loans are based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of the collateral is based on appraisals. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparable collateral included in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments are based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

Loans Held For Sale

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model that applies current estimated prepayments derived from the mortgage-backed securities market and utilizes a current market discount rate for observable credit spreads. The Bank does not record mortgage servicing rights at fair value on a recurring basis.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Stock

Ownership in equity securities of FHLB of Pittsburgh and the FRB is restricted and there is no established market for their resale. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on discounted cash flows using FHLB advance rates for currently-offered, similar-remaining maturities.

Borrowed funds

The Bank uses discounted cash flows based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities, as well as the Company’s credit worthiness, to estimate fair value.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of off-balance- sheet commitments is insignificant and therefore not included in the table for non-recurring assets and liabilities.

32

Other real estate owned		2,455		-		-		2,455

(1)Represents carrying value and related write-downs for which adjustments are based on appraised value. Management makes adjustments to the appraised values as necessary to consider declines in real estate values since the time of the appraisal. Such adjustments are based on management’s knowledge of the local real estate markets.

Collateral dependent impaired loans are classified as Level 3 assets and the estimated fair value of the collateral is based on the appraised loan value or other reasonable offers less estimated costs to sell. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through a valuation allowance or is charged-off. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of any charge-offs and the related allowance for loan losses.

Other real estate owned properties are recorded at the fair value less the estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, the balance might be subject to additional write-downs. It is the Company’s policy to obtain certified external appraisals of real estate collateral underlying impaired loans, including OREO, and it estimates fair value using those appraisals. Other valuation sources may be used, including broker price opinions, letters of intent and executed sale agreements. The amounts in the table above represent the value of OREO properties that were subject to additional write-downs subsequent to foreclosure.

The Company discloses fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Statement of Financial Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, management judgment is required to interpret data and develop fair value estimates. Accordingly, the estimates below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Note 8.  Earnings per Share

For the Company, the numerator of both the basic and diluted earnings per common share is net income available to common shareholders (which is equal to net income less dividends on preferred stock and related discount accretion). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in the denominator for basic earnings per common share is increased to determine the denominator used for diluted earnings per common share by the effect of potentially dilutive common share equivalents utilizing the treasury stock method. For the Company, common share equivalents are outstanding stock options to purchase the Company’s common shares.

The following table shows the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per common share and the number of stock options excluded from common share equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
(in thousands, except share data)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Net income (loss)	$	1,887	$	(6,521)	$	4,338	$	(8,653)
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding		16,457,169		16,442,119		16,457,169		16,442,119
Plus: common share equivalents		-		-		-		-
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding		16,457,169		16,442,119		16,457,169		16,442,119
Earnings per common share:
Basic	$	0.11	$	(0.40)	$	0.26	$	(0.53)
Diluted	$	0.11	$	(0.40)	$	0.26	$	(0.53)
Number of stock options excluded from common share equivalents		114,348		114,348		144,470		144,470

Common share equivalents, in the table above, exclude stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. Inclusion of these stock options would be anti-dilutive to the diluted earnings per common share calculation.

Note 10. Related Party Transactions

The Company and the Bank have engaged in and intend to continue to engage in banking and financial transactions in the conduct of its business with directors and the executive officers of the Company and the Bank and their related parties.

The Bank has granted loans, letters of credit and lines of credit to directors, executive officers and their related parties. The following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of such outstanding loans, advances under lines of credit as well as repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2013		2012
Outstanding at beginning of the year	$	33,296	$	87,442
New loans and advances		38,669		52,242
Repayments / reductions		(38,750)		(89,369)
Other (1)		(256)		-
Outstanding at end of period	$	32,959	$	50,315
(1) Represents loans to related parties that ceased being related parties during the period.

At September 30, 2013, loans to directors, executive officers and their related parties which were not performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements totaled $184 thousand.

Included in related party loans is $8.3 million outstanding under a commercial line of credit (“line”) to a company owned by a director. The Company also sold a participation interest in this line to the same director in the amount of $5.2 million, of which $3.3 million is outstanding. The Bank receives a 25 basis point annual servicing fee from this director on the participation balance.

Deposits from directors, executive officers and their related parties held by the Bank at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $69.0 million and $66.7 million, respectively. Interest paid on the deposits amounted to $55 thousand and $111 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In the course of its operations, the Company acquires goods and services from and transacts business with various companies affiliated with related parties. The Company believes these transactions were made on the same terms as those for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. The Company recorded payments for these services of $2.4 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Subordinated notes held by officers and directors and/or their related parties totaled $10.0 million at both September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. There was no interest paid to directors on these notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Interest accrued and unpaid on loans to directors totaled $2.8 million at September 30, 2013.

Note 11. Stock Compensation Plans

On August 30, 2000, the Company’s Board adopted an Employee Stock Incentive Plan (“Stock Incentive Plan”) in which options may be granted to key officers and other employees of the Company.  The aggregate number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of the options under the plan cannot exceed 1,100,000 shares.  Options and rights granted under the plan become exercisable six months after the date the options are awarded and expire ten years after the award date. Upon exercise, the shares are issued from the Company’s authorized but unissued stock. The Stock Incentive Plan expired on August 30, 2010, therefore no further grants will be made under the plan.

The Board also adopted on August 30, 2000, the Independent Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”) for directors who are not officers or employees of the Company.  The aggregate number of shares issuable under the Directors’ Stock Plan cannot exceed 550,000 shares and are exercisable six months from the date the awards are granted and expire three years after the award date. Upon exercise, the shares are issued from the Company’s authorized but unissued shares. The Directors’ Stock Plan expired on August 30, 2010, therefore no further grants will be made under the plan.

37

On November 28, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the 2012 Employee Stock Grant Plan (the “Employee Stock Plan”) under which 16,000 shares of common stock were authorized to be granted to employees. In December, 2012, the Company granted 15,050 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees under this plan.

There was no compensation expense related to options or stock under the Employee Stock Incentive Plan, the Directors’ Stock Plan, and the Employee Stock Plan for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

In accordance with current accounting guidance, all options are charged against income at their fair value.  Awards granted under the plans vest immediately and the entire expense of the award is recognized in the year of grant.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans is presented below:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

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

This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and our Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. In addition, please read this section in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

We are in the business of providing customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals and businesses. Our core market is Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Forward Looking Statements

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (including this report and exhibits hereto), in its reports to shareholders, and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

39

 

These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in the Company’s markets; the effects of, and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services; the ability of the Company to compete with other institutions for business; the composition and concentrations of the Company’s lending risk and the adequacy of the Company’s reserves to manage those risks; the valuation of the Company’s investment securities; the ability of the Company to pay dividends or repurchase common shares; the ability of the Company to retain key personnel; the impact of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company; the marketability of shares of the Company and fluctuations in the value of the Company’s share price; the impact of the Company’s ability to comply with its regulatory agreements and orders; the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls; the ability of the Company to attract additional capital investment; the timing of the Company’s annual shareholder meeting; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, capital adequacy, securities and insurance); the impact of technological changes and security risks upon the Company’s information technology systems; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the nature, extent, and timing of governmental actions and reforms, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not all inclusive. Readers are also cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of this report, even if subsequently made available by the Company on its website or otherwise. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in the Annual Report and other documents that the Company periodically files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. Management has identified the policies on the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”), securities valuation, valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and income taxes to be critical, as management is required to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The judgments used by management in applying the critical accounting policies discussed below may be affected by a further and prolonged deterioration in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results. Specifically, subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the ALLL in future periods, and the inability to collect on outstanding loans could result in increased loan losses. In addition, the valuation of certain securities in the Company’s investment portfolio could be negatively impacted by illiquidity or dislocation in marketplaces resulting in significantly depressed market prices thus leading to further impairment losses.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, and performs a formal review of the adequacy of the ALLL on a quarterly basis. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings and is maintained at a level management considers adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date. Loans, or portions of loans, determined by management to be uncollectible are charged off against the ALLL, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the ALLL.

40

Determining the amount of the ALLL is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Various banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination of the Company, also review the ALLL. Such regulators may require, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, that certain loan balances be charged off or require that adjustments be made to the ALLL. Additionally, the ALLL is determined, in part, by the composition and size of the loan portfolio.

The ALLL consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted by qualitative factors. The general reserve component of the ALLL is based on pools of unimpaired loans segregated generally by loan segment and risk rating categories of “Pass,” “Special Mention” or “Substandard and Accruing,” and historical loss factors and varied qualitative factor basis point allocations are applied based on the risk profile in each risk rating category to determine the appropriate reserve related to those loans. Substandard loans include non-accrual status are included in impaired loans if they are above the $100 thousand loan relationship threshold and all loans considered TDRs.

See Note 4 -“Loans” of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional information about the ALLL.

Securities Valuation

Management utilizes various inputs to determine the fair value of its investment portfolio. To the extent they exist, unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1) or quoted prices on similar assets or models using inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly (Level 2) are utilized to determine the fair value of each investment in the portfolio. In the absence of observable inputs or if markets are illiquid, valuation techniques are used to determine fair value of any investments that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3). For Level 3 inputs, valuation techniques are based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to, cash flows, discount rates, adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity, and liquidation values. A significant degree of judgment is involved in valuing investments using Level 3 inputs. The use of different assumptions could have a positive or negative effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See Note 7 -“Fair Value Measurements” of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for more information about the Company’s securities valuation techniques.

On a quarterly basis, management evaluates individual investment securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale having unrealized losses to determine whether or not the security is other-than-temporarily-impaired (“OTTI”). The analysis of OTTI requires the use of various assumptions, including but not limited to, the length of time an investment’s fair value is less than book value, the severity of the investment’s decline, any credit deterioration of the issuer, whether management intends to sell the security, and whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. Debt investment securities deemed to be OTTI are written down by the impairment related to the estimated credit loss and the non-credit related impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company did not recognize OTTI charges on investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized OTTI charges on securities of $96 thousand within the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which related mainly to estimated credit losses on pooled trust preferred securities.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of property acquired by foreclosure, abandonment or conveyance of deed in-lieu of foreclosure and bank premises that are no longer used in operation or for future bank expansion. OREO is held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of acquisition or transfer, which establishes a new cost basis. Upon acquisition of a property through foreclosure or deed in-lieu, any write-down to fair value less estimated selling costs is charged to the ALLL. This determination is made on an individual asset basis. Bank premises no longer used for operation or for future expansion are transferred to OREO at their fair value less estimated selling costs with any related write-down included in non-interest expense. Subsequent to acquisition, valuations of the properties are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined through external appraisals, current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the OREO properties may be capitalized; holding period costs and subsequent changes to the valuation allowance are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

41

The Company records an income tax provision or benefit based on the amount of tax currently payable or receivable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Management conducts quarterly assessments of all available evidence to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that will more-likely-than-not be realized. The available evidence used in connection with these assessments includes taxable income in current and prior periods, cumulative losses in prior periods, projected future taxable income, potential tax-planning strategies, and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. Management’s assumptions and estimates take into consideration its interpretation of tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by tax authorities. These assessments involve a certain degree of subjectivity which may change significantly depending on the related circumstances.

In connection with determining the income tax provision or benefit, the Company considers maintaining liabilities for uncertain tax positions and tax strategies that management believes contain an element of uncertainty. Periodically, the Company evaluates each of its tax positions and strategies to determine whether a liability for uncertain tax benefits is required. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions or tax strategies and no liability was required to be recorded.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” requires enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-11 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” simplifies the guidance for testing the decline in realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. ASU No. 2012-02 allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The Company adopted ASU 2012-02 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” clarifies the scope of transactions that are subject to the disclosures about offsetting, specifically that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11. This update applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company adopted ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company.

ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. The new amendments require an organization to: present either on the face of the statement where income is presented or in the notes to the financial statements the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income; or cross reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to income in their entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report other comprehensive income. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an effect on the operating results or financial position of the Company, however see Note 9 “Other Comprehensive Income” of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for additional disclosures related to the adoption of ASU No. 2013-02.

Executive Summary

The following overview should be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in its entirety.

The Company’s performance for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was positively impacted by lower non-interest expense due to cost containment initiatives, less reliance on outside consultants, and asset quality improvement.

The Company recorded net income of $1.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $(0.40) per diluted common share, for the comparable three months of 2012. The $8.4 million earnings improvement was due primarily to a credit for loan and leases losses, coupled with a reduction in non-interest expense and an increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, an increase of $13.0 million, compared to a net loss of $8.7 million, or $(0.53) per diluted common share, for the same period in the prior year.The annualized return on average equity was 23.47% and 16.76% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to (64.68)% and (28.11)% for the comparable periods in 2012.The annualized return on average assets was 0.79% and 0.61% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to (2.64)% and (1.13)% for the comparable periods in 2012.Average equity to average assets was 3.37% and 3.67% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 4.08% and 4.01% for the comparable periods in 2012. The Company did not pay any dividends during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

The $8.4 million earnings improvement for the third quarter was largely due to a $1.2 million credit for loan and lease losses recorded in 2013 as compared to a $3.8 million provision for loan and lease losses recorded for the same three months of 2012. Also positively affecting third quarter earnings was a $3.1 million, or 27.8%, decrease in non-interest expense and a $756 thousand, or 45.6%, increase in non-interest income compared to the same period of 2012. The reduction in non-interest expense was driven by decreases in professional and legal fees, expenses related to other real estate owned, salaries and employee benefits expense, and the provision for off-balance sheet commitments. The increase in non-interest income resulted primarily from net gains on the sale of investment securities and an increase in other income, partially offset by a decrease in net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale. The increase in other income resulted primarily from interest received from the IRS on federal income tax refunds. These positive factors were partially offset by a $402 thousand decrease in net interest income.

The $13.0 million increase in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $6.7 million decrease in non-interest expense coupled with a $2.5 million increase in non-interest income. In addition, the Company recorded a $2.4 million credit for loan and lease losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to a provision of $3.4 million for the same nine months of 2012.

Total assets increased $10.2 million, or 1.1%, to $978.5 million at September 30, 2013 as compared to $968.3 million at December 31, 2012. The balance sheet increase reflected improved loan demand, which resulted in a $59.5 million, or 10.3%, increase in loans, net of deferred loan origination fees and costs, unearned income and the allowance for loan and lease losses. Total deposits were $853.8 million at September 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million from $854.6 million at December 31, 2012. As a result of the increased loan demand, cash and cash equivalents decreased $28.9 million to $86.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $115.3 million at December 31, 2012. Borrowed funds, specifically advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh increased $18.6 million to $37.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2013 compared to December 31, 2012.These advances were used for liquidity purposes in funding the increased loan demand.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $4.1 million, or 11.1%, to $32.8 million at September 30, 2013 from $36.9 million at December 31, 2012.Year-to-date net income of $4.3 million was more than entirely offset by other comprehensive loss of $8.5 million due to the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities. The change in fair value of available-for-sale securities was related entirely to changes in market interest rates. Despite the reduction in shareholders’ equity, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios improved at September 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012. The ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets improved to 11.09% at the end of the third quarter of 2013 from 10.20% at year-end 2012. The leverage ratio, Tier 1 capital as a percentage of average assets, rose to 4.61% at September 30, 2013, as compared to 4.07% at December 31, 2012.

Summary of Performance

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between (i) interest revenue, interest and fees on interest-earning assets, and (ii) interest expense, interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds.Net interest income represents the largest component of the Company’s operating income and as such is the primary determinant of profitability.Net interest income is impacted by variations in the volume, rate and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in general market rates and the level of non-performing assets. The net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by average interest earning assets and is a key measurement used in the banking industry to measure income from earning assets. However, due to the Company’s net operating losses in prior years, the Company has not paid federal income taxes in 2012 and 2013. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a reduction of 12 basis points compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2012.Rate spread, the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities shown on a fully tax equivalent basis, was 3.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of 9 basis points compared to 3.14% for the same period of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the tax-equivalent net interest margin and the rate spread was 3.23% and 3.11%, respectively, compared to 3.27% and 3.14% for the respective nine-month periods of 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased $2.2 million to $20.9 million from $23.1 million for the comparable period in 2012.Tax-equivalent interest income decreased $3.8 million, or 12.7%, to $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was partially mitigated by a $1.6 million, or 23.0%, reduction in interest expense. The reduction in interest income resulted primarily from a 20 basis point decline in the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets, coupled with a $79.1 million, or 8.4%, decrease in average earning assets which caused decreases to interest income of $2.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The reduction in interest expense resulted primarily from a $77.5 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities, and to a lesser extent, a 17 basis point decline in the cost of funds, which reduced interest expense by $1.2 million and $430 thousand, respectively.

For the third quarter, tax-equivalent net interest income decreased $0.5 million to $6.9 million in 2013 from $7.5 million in 2012. The decrease in tax-equivalent interest income was caused primarily by a 27 basis point decrease in the yield on average earning assets to 3.99% in 2013 from 4.26% in 2012. Loan yield fell 36 basis points, while yields on investment securities decreased 122 basis points, which resulted in decreases to tax-equivalent interest income of $589 thousand and $352 thousand, respectively. Interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 was impacted by an 18 basis point decrease in the cost of funds and a $17.5 million reduction in average interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest income on loans on a tax-equivalent basis decreased $0.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.The decrease in interest income on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was as a result of the 36 basis point decrease in yield, partially mitigated by a $23.3 million increase in average loan balances to $650.2 million, as the Company experienced strong loan demand in the third quarter.The decrease in interest income on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was as a result of a decrease in average loan balances of $32.8 million to $628.5 million, coupled with a 25 basis point decline in the tax-equivalent yield.The reductions in the yield on loans for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was due to payoffs of higher yielding loans which cannot be replaced in this low interest rate environment caused by the continuing weak economic conditions.

Interest and dividend income on investment securities on a tax-equivalent basis decreased by $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.The reductions in interest and dividend income on investment securities are primarily attributable to decreases in the tax-equivalent yield of investment securities of 122 basis points and 101 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013. Although average investment securities increased $1.3 million and $2.3 million, for the respective three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, high-yielding tax-free state and municipal obligations that were sold during the second and third quarters of 2013 were reinvested into lower-yielding instruments contributing to the lower yield and lower interest and dividend income.

Average interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold were $31.2 million and $36.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $87.0 million and $85.0 million for the comparable periods in 2012, as management deployed available liquidity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to purchase investment securities and fund loan demand. As a result, interest earned from interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased $26 thousand and $73 thousand for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012.

Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $769.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $17.5 million, or 2.2%, compared to the same period in 2012 due primarily to decreases in average deposits. Average interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, and other time deposits decreased $5.6 million, $3.3 million, and $29.9 million, respectively, from the same three-month period in 2012. These reductions were partially offset by increases in average time deposits over $100 thousand of $20.5 million. The cost of interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, time deposits over $100 thousand and other time deposits decreased 7, 8, 12 and 11, basis points respectively, from the same period in 2012. In total, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 12 basis points to 0.59% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 0.71% for the same period in 2012.

44

Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $758.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $77.5 million, or 9.3%, compared to the same period in 2012. Reductions in the average balances of savings deposits, time deposits over $100 thousand and other time deposits were partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits. On a year-to-date basis, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 12 basis points to 0.61% in 2013 from 0.73% for the same period in 2012. The decreases in the rates for interest-bearing deposits were driven primarily by the pricing decreases that resulted from the Company’s pricing strategy and an overall decrease in market rates.

Average borrowings increased $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same three months of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, average borrowings decreased $17.0 million, or 22.6%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.The cost of borrowed funds decreased by 98 basis points and 4 basis points to 4.38% and 5.17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 5.36% and 5.21% for the same periods in 2012. The decrease in average borrowing costs was due to advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh accounting for a larger percentage of the overall balance of borrowed funds. In addition, advances taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were at significantly lower rates than prior advances. The weighted average cost of FHLB of Pittsburgh advances for the nine month ended September 30, 2013 was 2.34%, a decrease of 119 basis points from 3.53% for the same period of 2012.

Net interest income depends upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following tables set forth certain information relating to our consolidated statements of financial condition and operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and reflect the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Management closely monitors the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the ALLL, considering underlying borrower financial performance and collateral values and associated credit risks. Future material adjustments may be necessary to the provision for loan and lease losses and the ALLL if economic conditions or loan performance differ substantially from the assumptions management used in making its evaluation of the ALLL. The provision for loan and lease losses is an expense charged against net interest income to provide for estimated losses attributable to uncollectible loans and is based on management’s analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL. A credit for loan and lease losses reflects the reversal of amounts previously charged to the ALLL.

Credits for loan and lease losses of $1.2 million and $2.4 million were recorded for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, compared to provisions of $3.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.The release of reserves in 2013 reflected improved asset quality metrics, reductions in historical loss factors and net recoveries of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 though total loans increased as a result of demand for new loans.

Non-performing loans decreased $2.5 million, or 25.6%, to $7.2 million at September 30, 2013 from $9.7 million at December 31, 2012. The Company recorded net recoveries of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net charge-offs of $3.7 million for the same nine months of 2012. Non-performing loans primarily consist of loans secured by real estate. Management closely monitors the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the ALLL considering underlying borrower financial performance and collateral values and increasing credit risks.

Non-interest Income

The Company recorded total non-interest income of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $0.7 million from the $1.7 million earned during the comparable period in 2012.  The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in net gains on sale of securities, partially offset by a $168 thousand decrease in net gains on the sale of loans held for sale, specifically residential mortgage loans. Since the third quarter of 2012, the Company has been holding 15- and 20-year mortgages in its loan portfolio rather than selling these loans as part of its asset/liability strategy. This strategy, which was extended to 30-year mortgages in the third quarter of 2013, directly contributed to the decrease in net gains on the sale of loans held for sale. Also affecting non-interest income for the third quarter was an increase of $301 thousand in other income, which resulted primarily from interest received from the IRS on federal income tax refunds.

Non-interest income amounted to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $2.5 million from $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Similar to the reasons given for the quarterly increase, the year-to-date increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million increase in net gains on the sale of investment securities, partially offset by a decrease of $498 thousand in net gains on the sale of loans held for sale. Also affecting non-interest income was an increase of $754 thousand in other income from $534 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $1.3 million for the same nine months of 2013, which resulted primarily from the settlement of an insurance claim and interest on federal income tax refunds. Deposit service charges, net gains on the sale of other real estate owned and loan-related fees decreased of $74 thousand, $166 thousand and $80 thousand, respectively.

Non-interest Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, non-interest expense decreased $3.1 million, or 27.8%, to $8.1 million, from $11.2 million for the same three months of 2012 for reasons similar to the nine-month changes described below.On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expense decreased $6.7 million to $24.3 million in 2013 from $31.0 million in 2012. Professional fees declined $2.5 million, or 67.3%, as the Company continued to reduce its reliance on outside consultants. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.2 million, or 11.0%, as a result of a reduction in forces and voluntary separation program implemented in the fourth quarter of 2012.Also favorably impacting non-interest expense was an increase in the credit for off-balance sheet commitments of $566 thousand and reductions in legal fees, other operating expenses and FDIC assessments of $954 thousand, $336 thousand and $287 thousand, respectively.

Professional and legal fees are expected to continue to decline to more normalized levels for the remainder of 2013, reflecting reduced activity related to, and the potential resolution of, certain outstanding litigation, as well as less reliance on outside advisors and consultants.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company did not record a provision or benefit for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. In future periods, the Company anticipates that it will have a minimal tax provision or benefit until such time as it is able to reverse the deferred tax asset valuation allowance that it recorded in prior periods.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets were $978.5 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $10.2 million, or 1.1%, from $968.3 million at December 31, 2012.Earning assets totaled $911.3 million and represented 93.1% of total assets at the end of the third quarter of 2013, compared to $886.6 million, or 91.6%, of total assets at the end of 2012. The improvement in earning assets reflected decreases in nonperforming asset levels coupled with an increase in loan demand. At September 30, 2013, loans, net of unearned income, totaled $656.5 million and represented 72.0% of earning assets, compared to $597.9 million, or 67.4%, of earning assets at December 31, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $28.9 million, or 25.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $86.4 million. The decrease resulted primarily from a $58.6 million increase in total loans. Partially offsetting the increase in loan demand was the receipt of federal income tax refund in the amount of $11.6 million and an increase of $18.6 million in advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The Company did not pay any dividends during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as it suspended paying dividends to conserve capital and comply with regulatory requirements.

Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio provides a source of liquidity needed to meet expected loan demand and provides a source of interest income to increase our profitability. Additionally, the Company utilizes the investment securities portfolio to meet pledging requirements to secure public deposits and for other purposes. Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. The decision to purchase or sell securities is based upon the current assessment of long- and short-term economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment and asset/liability management strategies. Securities with limited marketability and/or restrictions, such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and Federal Reserve Bank stocks, are carried at cost. Federal Reserve Bank stock is included in other assets.

At September 30, 2013, the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised principally of obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, including residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) andtax-exempt and taxable obligations of states and political subdivisions. At September 30, 2013, there were two security issuers, St. Clair County, IL School District and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, whose securities had aggregate carrying values that exceeded 10.0% of shareholders’ equity. The aggregate carrying values of the securities of these issuers were $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2013.

The following table presents the carrying value of available-for-sale securities, which are carried at fair value, and held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, at the dates indicated:

	September 30,		December 31,

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company sold 16 securities, including one obligation of a U.S. government agency, four U.S. Government-sponsored agency residential mortgage-backed securities, one U.S. government-sponsored agency CMO, and 10 obligations of state and political subdivisions, with an aggregate carrying value of $10.1 million. Net gains of $817 thousand were realized upon the sale and are included in non-interest income. The Company sold these securities as part of its strategy to reduce concentration risk within the municipal portfolio, in addition to anticipating liquidity needs in response to increased loan growth and cyclical deposit trends of public funds expected during the remainder of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 security sales totaled $51.1 million. Net gains on the sales of these securities amounted $2.6 million.

The Company did not purchase any securities during the third quarter of 2013. Year-to-date security purchases totaled $74.0 million. All securities purchased were issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies and included $56.2 million of residential mortgage-backed securities and $17.8 million of CMOs.

(1) Yields on obligations of state and political subdisvisions have been adjusted to a tax equivalent yield using a 34% federal income tax rate.

(2) Yield represents actual return for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(3) Collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities are not due at a singe maturity date. See Note 6 - "Securities"

The majority of the Company’s securities portfolio is comprised of obligations of state and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed securities, including home equity conversion mortgages, and collateralized mortgage obligations. The Company held 78 securities that were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2013. Substantially all of the unrealized losses relate to debt securities.

To determine whether a security’s impairment is other-than-temporary, management considers factors that include:

· the causes of the decline in fair value, such as credit deterioration, interest rate fluctuations, or market volatility;

· the severity and duration of the decline;

· the Company’s ability and intent to hold investments until they recover in value, as well as the likelihood of such a recovery in the near term;

· the Company’s intent to sell security investments, or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their individual amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss.

For debt securities which the Company does not intend to sell or does not expect it will be required to sell, the primary consideration in determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary is whether or not the Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows.

Based on its evaluation at September 30, 2013, management has determined that the decreases in estimated fair value of the securities it holds in its portfolio are temporary. See Note 6 – “Securities” of the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 hereof for more information about this evaluation.

Investments in FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB stock, which have limited marketability, are carried at cost and totaled $3.9 million and $7.3 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. FRB stock of $1.3 million is included in Other Assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Management noted no indicators of impairment for the FHLB of Pittsburgh and FRB of Philadelphia at September 30, 2013.

Loans

The Company experienced an increase in loan demand during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net loans increased $59.5 million, or 10.3%, to $638.9 million at September 30, 2013 from $579.4 million as of December 31, 2012. Net loans represented 65.3% of total assets at September 30, 2013, compared to 59.8% at December 31, 2012. Historically, commercial lending activities, which include commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and construction, land acquisition and development loans, have represented a significant portion of the Company’s loan activities. Furthermore, from a collateral standpoint, a majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by real estate. Real estate secured loans, which include commercial real estate, construction, land acquisition and development, residential real estate and home equity loans, increased by $35.3 million, or 9.3% to $413.2 million at September 30, 2013, from $377.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was concentrated in residential and commercial mortgages, partially offset by a decrease in construction, land acquisition and development loans. Real estate secured loans as a percentage of total gross loans were 63.0% and 63.2% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Loans secured by commercial real estate increased $16.9 million, or 7.6%, from $221.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $238.5 million at September 30, 2013. Commercial real estate loans include long-term commercial mortgage financing and are primarily secured by first or second lien mortgages.  The increase in commercial real estate loans was attributable to new loan originations and commercial construction, land acquisition and development loans converting to commercial mortgages upon completion of construction. Accordingly, construction, land acquisition and development loans decreased $3.2 million, or 9.9%, from $32.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $29.3 million at September 30, 2013.

Residential real estate loans totaled $115.6 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $25.4 million, or 28.2%, from $90.2 million at December 31, 2012.  The components of residential real estate loans include fixed- and variable-rate mortgage loans.Home equity lines of credit are not included in this category but are included in consumer loans. The Company primarily underwrites fixed-rate purchase and refinance of residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and provide funding for additional loans. However, in the third quarter of 2012, the Company began holding 15- and 20-year mortgages in the loan portfolio rather than selling these loans in order to provide additional interest income based on underlying yields. Management extended this strategy to 30-year mortgages in the third quarter of 2013. This strategy has contributed to a decrease in the balance of loans held for sale, the increase in residential real estate loans and the overall increase in net loans.

Commercial and industrial loans increased $4.4 million, or 4.0%, from $109.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $114.1 at September 30, 2013. Commercial and industrial loans consist primarily of equipment loans, working capital financing, revolving lines of credit and loans secured by cash and marketable securities.

Consumer loans increased $7.8 million, or 7.1%, from $109.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $117.6 million at September 30, 2013. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company offered promotions and incentives to automobile dealer customers within its indirect lending division. As a result, the increase in consumer loans was concentrated within this division.

Loans to state and political subdivisions totaled $41.0 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $7.0 million, or 20.7%, from $34.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was attributable to new loan originations.

Asset Quality

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and reduced by the ALLL. The ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.

The Company manages credit risk through the efforts of loan officers, the loan review function, and the Loan Quality and the ALLL management committees, as well as oversight from the Board of Directors, along with the application of policies and procedures designed to foster sound underwriting and credit monitoring practices.  The Company continually evaluates this process to ensure it is reacting to problems in the loan portfolio in a timely manner, although, as is the case with any financial institution, a certain degree of credit risk is dependent in part on local and general economic conditions that are beyond the Company’s control.

Under the Company’s risk rating system, loans rated pass/watch, special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are reviewed regularly as part of the Company’s risk management practices. The Company’s Loan Quality Committee, which consists of key members of senior management and credit administration, meets monthly or more often as necessary to review individual problem credits and workout strategies and reports to the Board of Directors.

52

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (including principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the note and loan agreement. For purposes of the Company’s analysis, loans that are identified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), loans rated substandard and non-accrual, and loans that are identified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired. Impaired loans are analyzed individually to quantify the impairment. The Company utilizes the fair value of collateral method for collateral dependent loans. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when repayment of the loan is expected to be provided through the liquidation of the collateral held. For impaired loans that are secured by real estate, external appraisals are obtained annually, or more frequently as warranted, to ascertain a fair value so that the impairment analysis can be updated. Should a current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other sources of valuation such as current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale may be used. For non-collateral dependent loans, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, net of disposal costs, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate.

Loans to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty that are modified and result in the Company granting concessions to the borrower are classified as TDRs and are considered to be impaired. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date, a reduction of the stated interest rate, payment modifications, or a combination of these modifications. Non-accrual TDRs are returned to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are brought current, are performing under the modified terms for six consecutive months, and management believes that collection of the remaining interest and principal is probable.

Non-performing loans are monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Company’s loan review process. Additionally, work-out efforts continue and are actively monitored for non-performing loans and OREO through the Loan Quality Committee. Potential loss on non-performing assets is generally evaluated by comparing the outstanding loan balance to the fair market value of the pledged collateral.

Loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is doubtful. This generally occurs when a default of interest or principal has existed for 90 days or more, unless such loan is well secured and in the process of collection, or when management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that the loan would default before 90 days. The Company determines delinquency status based on the number of days since the date of the borrower’s last required contractual loan payment. When the interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid interest income is reversed and charged back against current earnings. Any cash payments received are applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of lost interest. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status when the loan is current as to principal and interest payments, is performing according to contractual terms for six consecutive months and future payments are reasonably assured.

Management actively manages impaired loans in an effort to reduce loan balances by working with customers to develop strategies to resolve borrower difficulties, through sale or liquidation of collateral, foreclosure, and other appropriate means. Real estate values appear to have stabilized. However, further real estate devaluations or weakening in economic conditions in our market area could negatively impact asset quality, causing an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.

Under the fair value of collateral method, the impaired amount of the loan is deemed to be the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell. For the Company’s calculations on real estate secured loans, a factor of 10% is generally utilized to estimate costs to sell, which is based on typical cost factors, such as a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. If the valuation indicates that the fair value has deteriorated below the carrying value of the loan, either the entire loan is written off or the difference between the fair value and the principal balance is charged off. For impaired loans for which the value of the collateral less costs to sell exceeds the loan value, the impairment is considered to be zero.

The following table presents non-performing loans (including non-performing TDRs), OREO and performing TDRs at the dates noted:

	September 30,			December 31,
(in thousands)	2013			2012
Non-accrual loans	$	7,216		$	9,652
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing		7			57
Total Non-Performing Loans		7,223			9,709
Other Real Estate Owned		4,405			3,983
Total Non-Performing Loans and OREO	$	11,628		$	13,692
Performing TDRs	$	5,981		$	7,517
Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans		1.10	%		1.62	%

Management continued to manage problem credits through heightened work-out efforts on non-performing loans and disposing of the Company’s holdings of foreclosed properties. As a result, the Company’s asset quality continued to improve during the first nine months of 2013. Total non-performing loans and OREO decreased $2.1 million, or 15.1%, to $11.6 million at September 30, 2013 from $13.7 million at December 31, 2012. During the third quarter of 2013, management transferred three vacant lots that were held in bank premises and equipment for future expansion into other real estate owned. The aggregate carrying value of these lots was $1.7 million at September 30, 2013. Adjusting for the transfer of these lots, total non-performing loans and OREO decreased $3.8 million, or 27.8%, to $9.9 million at September 30, 2013 from $13.7 million at December 31, 2012.Management’s decision to transfer these lots was part of a strategic initiative. This transfer was non-recurring in nature and was not made in response to any asset quality concerns. The Company’s ratio of non-performing loans to total gross loans improved to 1.10% at September 30, 2013 from 1.62% at December 31, 2012.Although asset quality has improved significantly, management continues to carefully monitor these credits. A deterioration of economic conditions within the Company’s market area could adversely impact asset quality and lead to increases in impaired loans.

TDRs at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $10.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.Accruing and non-accruing TDRs were $6.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively at September 30, 2013 and $7.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively at December 31, 2012. Approximately $321 thousand and $257 thousand in specific reserves have been established for these loans as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. One loan modified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, with a recorded investment of $4.0 million included in non-accrual loans, is supported by a 90.0% guarantee by the Small Business Administration.

The average balance of impaired loans was $13.6 million and $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.The Company recorded $88 thousand and $282 thousand of interest income on impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $92 thousand and $257 thousand for interest income on impaired loans for the respective periods of 2012.

Changes in non-performing loans for the periods indicated are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Balance, beginning of period	$	8,329	$	19,239	$	9,709	$	19,918
Newly placed on non-accrual		344		531		1,659		3,884
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing		(116)		(10)		(50)		13
Transferred to OREO		(96)		(879)		(255)		(1,283)
Additional charge-offs		(344)		(3,541)		(1,316)		(4,739)

Balance, end of period	$	7,223	$	13,355	$	7,223	$	13,355

The additional interest income that would have been earned on non-accrual and restructured loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 had the loans been performing in accordance with their original terms approximated $68 thousand and $457 thousand, respectively, and $376 thousand and $1.2 million for the respective three and nine month periods of the prior year.

The following table outlines delinquency within the Company’s loan portfolio:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Accruing: 30-59 days	0.28	%	0.44	%
60-89 days	0.16	%	0.06	%
90+ days	0.00	%	0.01	%
Non-accrual	1.10	%	1.62	%
Total delinquencies	1.54	%	2.13	%

The decrease in total delinquencies as a percentage of gross loans at September 30, 2013 was primarily due to the more rigorous collections of non-performing loans. In its evaluation of the ALLL, management considers a variety of qualitative factors, including changes in the volume and severity of delinquencies.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL represents management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The ALLL is analyzed in accordance with GAAP and is maintained at a level that is based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL in relation to the risks inherent in the loan portfolio.

In its evaluation, management considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to:

· Changes in national, local, and business economic conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;

· Changes in the nature and volume of the Company’s loan portfolio;

· Changes in the Company’s lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off and recovery practices and results;

· Changes in the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s management and staff;

· Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors;

· Changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, including trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;

· The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations;

· The effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Company's current loan portfolio; and

· Analysis of its customers’ credit quality, including knowledge of their operating environment and financial condition.

Evaluations are intrinsically subjective, as the results are estimated based on management’s knowledge and experience and are subject to interpretation and modification as information becomes available or as future events occur. Management monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis with emphasis on weakness in both the real estate market and the economy in general and its effect on repayment. Adjustments to the ALLL are made based on management’s assessment of the factors noted above.

For purposes of its analysis, all loan relationships with an aggregate balance greater than $100 thousand that are rated substandard and non-accrual, identified as doubtful or loss, and all TDRs are considered impaired and are analyzed individually to determine the amount of impairment. Circumstances such as construction delays, declining real estate values, and the inability of the borrowers to make scheduled payments have resulted in these loan relationships being classified as impaired. The Company utilizes the fair value of collateral method for collateral-dependent loans and TDRs for which repayment depends on the sale of collateral. For non-collateral dependent loans and TDRs, the Company measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. With regard to collateral-dependent loans, appraisals are received at least annually to ensure that impairment measurements reflect current market conditions. Should a current appraisal not be available at the time of impairment analysis, other valuation sources including current letters of intent, broker price opinions or executed agreements of sale may be used. Only downward adjustments are made based on these supporting values. Included in all impairment calculations is a cost to sell adjustment of approximately 10%, which is based on typical cost factors, including a 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. Sales costs are periodically revised based on actual experience. The ALLL analysis is adjusted for subsequent events that may arise after the end of the reporting period but before the financial reports are filed.

The Company’s ALLL consists of both specific and general components.At September 30, 2013, the ALLL that related to impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment, the guidance for which is provided by ASC 310 “Impairment of a Loan” (“ASC 310”), was $347 thousand, or 2.0%, of the total ALLL.A general allocation of $17.3 million was calculated for loans analyzed collectively under ASC 450 “Contingencies” (“ASC 450”), which represented 98.0% of the total ALLL of $17.6 million.The ratio of the ALLL to total loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 2.69% and 3.10%, respectively, based on total loans of $656.1 million and $597.8 million, respectively.The decrease in the ratio of the ALLL to total loans primarily reflects asset quality improvements and lower levels of historical net charge-offs, coupled with increased loan demand.See “Asset Quality” for further information.

The following table presents an allocation of the ALLL and percent of loans in each category at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Other Real Estate Owned

At September 30, 2013, OREO consisted of 19 properties with an aggregate carrying value of $4.4 million, an increase of $0.4 million from $4.0 million at December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, three properties with an aggregate carrying value of $255 thousand were foreclosed upon. In addition, three vacant lots, previously held in bank premises and equipment for future expansion, were transferred to OREO. These three lots were written down to their appraised value less cost to sell of $1.7 million. The Company recognized a valuation adjustment of $69 thousand at the time of transfer, which is included in non-interest expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, twelve properties with an aggregate carrying value of $1.4 million were sold. The Company realized net gains on the sale of these properties of $94 thousand, which is included in non-interest income. Valuation adjustments to the carrying value of OREO, amounted to $257 thousand, including $69 thousand related to the transfer of bank premises, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and were included in non-interest expense.

The Company continues to actively market the remaining properties for sale through a variety of channels including internal marketing and the use of outside brokers/realtors.  The carrying value of OREO is generally calculated at an amount not greater than 90% of the most recent fair market appraised value.  A 10% factor is generally used to estimate costs to sell, which is based on typical cost factors, such as 6% broker commission, 1% transfer taxes, and 3% various other miscellaneous costs associated with the sales process. This market value is updated on an annual basis or more frequently if new valuation information is available.  Further deterioration in the real estate market could result in additional losses on these properties.

Liabilities

Total liabilities were $945.7 million at September 30, 2013, an increase of $14.4 million, or 1.5%, from $931.3 million at December 31, 2012.Total deposits were $853.8 million at September 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million, compared to $854.6 at December 31, 2012.Specifically, non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $9.8 million, or 7.5%, while interest-bearing deposits declined $10.6 million, or 1.5%.With regard to interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing transaction accounts, including NOW, MMDA and avings accounts decreased $11.4 million or 2.8%. Specifically, NOW accounts decreased $24.7 million, which was partially offset by increases in MMDAs of $9.4 million and savings accounts of $3.9 million. Total certificates of deposit increased $0.8 million. Retail certificates of deposit decreased $15.9 million, or 12.4%.These certificates were replaced with lower-costing certificates generated through the QwickRate marketplace.

Borrowed funds increased by $18.6 million, or 34.5%, to $72.5 million at September 30, 2013 as compared to $53.9 million at December 31, 2012. Specifically, advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh amounted to $32.2 million, which were partially offset by repayments totaling $13.6 million.Advances were primarily used to meet short-term liquidity needs.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $4.1 million, or 11.1%, to $32.8 million at September 30, 2013 from $36.9 million at December 31, 2012. Year-to-date net income of $4.3 million was more than entirely offset by other comprehensive loss of $8.5 million due primarily to the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities. The decline in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities was due entirely to an increase in market interest rates. Book value per common share was $1.99 at September 30, 2013 compared to $2.24 at December 31, 2012.

Liquidity

The term liquidity refers to the ability of the Company to generate sufficient amounts of cash to meet its cash flow needs.  Liquidity is required to fulfill the borrowing needs of the Company’s credit customers and the withdrawal and maturity requirements of its deposit customers, as well as to meet other financial commitments. The Company’s liquidity position is impacted by several factors, which include, among others, loan origination volumes, loan and investment maturity structure and cash flows, deposit demand and certificate of deposit maturity structure and retention. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position and fluctuations daily so that the Company can adapt accordingly to market influences and balance sheet trends. Management also forecasts liquidity needs and develops strategies to ensure adequate liquidity at all times.

58

The Company’s statements of cash flows present the change in cash and cash equivalents from operating, investing and financing activities.Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks are the Company’s most liquid assets.  At September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $86.4 million, a decrease of $28.9 million from $115.3 million at December 31, 2012.The Company used $63.5 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was partially offset by net cash provided by operating and financing activities of $16.8 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

With regard to investing activities during 2013, the Company deployed available cash to purchase investment securities and to fund loan demand as part of its strategy to improve the return generated by its earning assets. The $16.8 million in net cash provided by operating activities was impacted by the receipt of $11.6 million in federal income tax refunds due from the IRS in the third quarter of 2013. The $17.8 million in cash provided by financing activities reflected $32.2 million in advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, net of repayments $13.6 million.

Interest Rate Risk

Our consolidated statements of financial position have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of certain investments due to changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of our interest-earning assets and could adversely affect our results of operation if such assets were sold, or, in the case of securities classified as available-for-sale, could lead to decreases in our shareholders’ equity, if such securities were retained.

We manage the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust our exposure to interest rate risk. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down (shocked) 200 basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to each other. All changes in income and value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest rate scenario assumes interest rates at September 30, 2013. Various estimates regarding prepayment assumptions are made at each level of rate shock. However, prepayment penalty income is excluded from this analysis. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Earnings at Risk

Earnings-at-risk simulation measures the change in net interest income and net income should interest rates rise and fall.  The simulation recognizes that not all assets and liabilities re-price equally and simultaneously with market rates (i.e., savings rate).  ALCO generally looks at “earnings at risk” to determine income changes from a base case scenario under an increase and decrease of 200 basis points in the interest rate simulation model. However, given the current interest rate environment, characterized by short-term rates already at or near zero, a decrease of 100 basis points was used.

Economic Value at Risk

Earnings-at-risk simulation measures the short-term risk in the balance sheet. Economic value (or portfolio equity) at risk measures the long-term risk by measuring the net present value of the future cash flows from the Company’s existing assets and liabilities. The Company’s Asset and Liability Management Committee examines this ratio regularly utilizing a rate shock of +/- 200 basis points in the interest rate simulation model. Similar to the earnings at risk calculation, a decrease of 100 basis points was used in this calculation. Management recognizes that, in some instances, this ratio may contradict the “earnings at risk” ratio.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of a 200 basis point upward or 100 basis point downward movements in interest rates on net interest income and the change in economic value.  This analysis assumed that interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at September 30, 2013 remained constant.  The impact of the rate movements were developed by simulating the effect of an immediate rate shock from the September 30, 2013 levels.

59

 

	Rates + 200			Rates -100
Earnings at risk:
Percent change in net interest income		3.9	%		-0.4	%
Economic value at risk:
Percent change in economic value of equity		-8.1	%		-0.8	%

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements, or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used for general corporate purposes or for customer needs. Corporate purpose transactions are used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers’ requests for funding.

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the company’s exposure to market risk during the first nine months of 2013.  For discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.

There were no changes made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II Other Information

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.

On August 8, 2011, the Company announced that it had received document subpoenas from the SEC. The information requested generally relates to disclosure and financial reporting by the Company and the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010. The Company is presently cooperating with the SEC in this matter.

On May 24, 2012, a putative shareholder by the name of Lori Gray filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas in Lackawanna County against certain present and former directors of the Company (including all of the current directors except Louis A. DeNaples, Jr., Steven R. Tokach and Thomas J. Melone) and Demetrius & Company, LLC (“Demetrius”) alleging, inter alia, breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, corporate waste, unjust enrichment and, in the case of Demetrius, professional negligence, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and aiding and abetting the breach of fiduciary duty.The Company has been named as a nominal defendant.On April 4, 2013, the plaintiff filed a motion to amend the complaint to add claims of professional negligence and aiding and abetting the breach of fiduciary duty against a new defendant, as well as new allegations relating to all claims. The defendants responded in opposition to the motion on May 1, 2013. The Board had appointed a special committee in January 2012 to investigate the matters raised in the Gray complaint.The special committee has retained independent counsel to assist with its investigation.Oral arguments on the plaintiff’s motion to amend the Complaint and on other pending motions, which had been rescheduled for November 13, 2013, have been postponed by the Court and will be rescheduled, as necessary.The parties have had preliminary discussions, but no assurance can be given that the parties will reach a settlement. A conference with the Court has been scheduled for February 4, 2014. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome or potential range of loss.

60

On September 5, 2012, Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland (“F&D”) filed an action against the Company and its subsidiary, First National Community Bank(“Bank”), as well as several current and former officers and directors of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. F&D has asserted a claim for the rescission of a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy and a bond that it had issued to the Company. On November 9, 2012, the Company and the Bank answered the claim and asserted counterclaims. The Company and the other defendants are defending the claims, specifically all parties have filed pre-discovery motions. The motions have been fully briefed and oral argument on the motions was held on October 17, 2013. The parties are awaiting the Judge’s rulings on the motions. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome or potential range of loss.

On August 13, 2013, Steven Antonik, individually, as Administrator of the Estate of Linda Kluska, William R. Howells, and Louise A. Howells, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a consumer protection class action against the Company and Bank in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas, seeking equitable, injunction and monetary relief to address an alleged pattern and practice of wrong doing by the Bank relating to the repossession and sale of the Plaintiffs’ and class members’ financed motor vehicles. This matter is in its early discovery stage. At this time the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome or potential range of loss.

On September 17, 2013, Charles Saxe, III individually and on behalf of all others similarity situated filed a consumer class action against the Bank in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas alleging violations of the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code in connection with the repossession and resale of financed vehicles. This matter is in its early discovery stage. At this time the Company cannot reasonably determine the outcome or potential range of loss.

The Company has been subject to tax audits and is also a party to routine litigation involving various aspects of its business, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Company holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to its business, none of which is expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
