FOX CHASE BANCORP, INC
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION
Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) was organized on September 29, 2006 under the laws of the United States for the purpose of being a holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), a stock savings bank also organized under the laws of the United States. On September 29, 2006, the Bancorp completed its initial public offering in which it sold 6,395,835 shares, or 43.57%, of its outstanding common stock to the public, including 575,446 shares purchased by the Fox Chase Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”). An additional 8,148,915 shares, or 55.51% of the Bancorp’s outstanding stock, were issued to Fox Chase MHC, the Bancorp’s federally chartered mutual holding company. Net proceeds of the offering totaled $56.6 million. Additionally, the Bancorp contributed $150,000 in cash and issued 135,000 shares, or 0.92% of its outstanding common stock, to the Fox Chase Bank Charitable Foundation.
The Bancorp’s primary business has been that of holding the common stock of the Bank and making a loan to the ESOP. Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. is authorized to pursue other business activities permissible by laws and regulations for other savings and loan holding companies.
The Bancorp and the Bank (collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide a wide variety of financial products and services to individuals and businesses through the Bank’s eleven branches in Philadelphia, Richboro, Willow Grove, Warminster, Lahaska, Hatboro, Media and West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Ocean City, Marmora and Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The operations of the Company are managed as a single business segment. The Company competes with other financial institutions and other companies that provide financial services.
The Company is subject to regulations of certain federal banking agencies. These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period. The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory agencies which may subject them to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions resulting from the regulators’ judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examinations.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank’s operations include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Fox Chase Financial, Inc. Fox Chase Financial, Inc. is a Delaware chartered investment holding company and its sole purpose is to manage and hold investment securities. The financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Fox Chase MHC. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior period amounts are reclassified, when necessary, to conform with the current year’s presentation.
The Company follows accounting principles and reporting practices which are in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation and realizability of deferred tax assets and the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of investments. These financial statements do not contain all necessary disclosures required by GAAP and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008. These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments which management believes were necessary in order to conform to GAAP. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
7
Per Share Information
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Unallocated shares in the ESOP and shares purchased to fund the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan are not included in either basic or diluted earnings per share.
The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations.

As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank had one interest rate swap in the notional amount of $1.2 million to hedge a 15-year fixed rate loan, which was earning interest at 7.43%. The Company is receiving a variable rate payment of three-month LIBOR plus 2.24% and is paying a fixed rate payment of 7.43%. The swap matures in April 2022 and had a market value loss position of $116,000 and $60,000 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159) which is further discussed in Note 9. In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, the Company identified two financial instruments to be designated for fair value reporting. The identified instruments are the $1.2 million loan and the related swap discussed in the preceding paragraph.
As the loan is contractually current, the Company has determined the market value of the gain position of the loan is equal to the market value loss position of the swap as of both December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. Accordingly, adopting SFAS No. 159 for these two financial instruments has no impact on the Company’s beginning of period retained earnings or the income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 had the balance sheet effect of increasing loans receivable and reducing other assets by $116,000 as of March 31, 2008.
The Company elected to adopt SFAS No. 159 for these two financial instruments as they represent the financial instruments associated with the Company’s only swap agreement. The critical terms of the loan and the swap are a mirror image, except the loan includes a default interest rate clause.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE SERVICING ACTIVITY
Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were $114.3 million and $127.3 million at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $118.1 million at December 31, 2007.
The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

At March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) was $1.2 million (unaudited), $1.5 million (unaudited) and $1.3 million, respectively. The fair value at these dates was determined using a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates. Mortgage loan prepayment speed is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal and is based on historical experience. The discount rate used to determine the present value of future net servicing income - another key assumption - is the required rate of return the market would expect for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally will, change quarterly valuations as market conditions and interest rates change.

For the borrowings that contractually mature in August 2011, if three-month LIBOR is greater than or equal to the Strike Rate, the FHLB can notify the Bank of its intention to convert the borrowing to an adjustable-rate advance equal to three-month LIBOR (2.69% at March 31, 2008) plus .2175% on a quarterly basis. The Bank has the option to repay these advances at each of the option dates without penalty. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.
The borrowing that contractually matures in January 2015 represents a seven-year amortizing borrowing and has equal monthly payments of $403,000.
The borrowings that contractually mature in November 2017 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to pay off the borrowing without penalty. If the Bank fails to do so, the borrowing’s fixed rate will reset to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus .10%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowings are callable by the FHLB quarterly. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.
The borrowing that contractually matures in December 2017 may be called by the FHLB on the call date disclosed in the above table. If the borrowing is called, the Bank has the option to pay off the borrowing without penalty. If the Bank fails to do so, the borrowing’s fixed rate will reset to a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus .11%. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowing is callable by the FHLB quarterly. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities.
The Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of approximately $462.2 million at December 31, 2007, the latest date for which information is available.
Other Borrowed Funds
Other borrowed funds of $20.0 million carry an interest rate of 3.60%, contractually mature in November 2014 and may be called by the lender in November 2009. Subsequent to the call date, the borrowing is callable by the lender quarterly. Accordingly, the contractual maturities above may differ from actual maturities. Mortgage backed securities with a carrying value of $27.6 million at March 31, 2008 were pledged as collateral for these other borrowed funds.

NOTE 7 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded $208,000 of stock based compensation expense, comprised of stock option expense of $86,000 and restricted stock expense of $122,000. The Company anticipates that the 287,500 shares purchased by a trust during 2007 will fund amounts earned under the restricted stock awards.

NOTE 9 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ADOPTED IN THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159).” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and amends SFAS No. 115 to, among other things, require certain disclosures for amounts for which the fair value option is applied. This Statement is effective as of the entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 for two financial instruments, which are identified and discussed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS No. 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008, including interim periods.
The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations are observed from unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company classified two financial instruments as Level 3 as of March 31, 2008. The first instrument is a private label collateralized mortgage obligation (“CMO”) which, unlike U.S. agency mortgage related securities, the fair value of private label securities is more difficult to determine because they are not actively traded in securities markets. The second instrument is a loan, which was recorded at fair value when the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, since lending credit risk is not an observable input for this individual commercial loan. The unrealized loss in the private label CMO was $59,000 at March 31, 2008 compared to an unrealized loss of $27,000 at January 1, 2008. The unrealized gain on the loan was $116,000 at March 31, 2008 compared to an unrealized gain of $60,000 at January 1, 2008.

The following table of the Company’s fair value measurements at March 31, 2008 includes (1) investment securities and mortgage related securities available-for-sale; and (2) the two financial instruments recorded at fair value in conjunction with the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of 2008:

(1) Such assets recorded at fair value in conjunction with adoption of SFAS No. 159.
The Company utilizes an external third-party pricing service to perform evaluations on its investment portfolio on at least a quarterly basis. The Company will be evaluating the appropriateness of the identified Level 1, 2 or 3 classifications on a recurring basis. The Company has also adopted FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, which allowed it to defer the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009.
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-4
In Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-4 “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”, the EITF concluded that an endorsement split dollar life insurance policy does not effectively settle an employer’s obligation to provide the post retirement benefit that the policy was designed to provide. Therefore, some current expense recognition may need to be made for any endorsement split dollar plans with post retirement benefits.
This guidance applies to all post retirement endorsement split dollar arrangements. This will not impact split dollar plans that only provide pre-retirement death benefits.
The accrual for the liability would be calculated in one of two ways:
· the actuarial present value of the future death benefit or
· the cost of insurance of the policy during the postretirement period.
Compliance with this EITF must be applied to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 (January 1, 2008 for calendar year entities). It can be made through a cumulative–effect adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption or as a change in accounting principles through retrospective application to all prior periods. As required, the Company adopted this EITF in the first quarter of 2008. This did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position, accordingly no adjustment was made to prior year retained earnings.
NOTE 10 – OTHER ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is evaluating this statement and has not yet determined the impact on its required disclosures. The Company does not intend to early adopt this statement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Company’s market area, changes in real estate market values in the Company’s market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and the inability of third party service providers to perform their functions. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008, and its other Securities and Exchange Commission reports.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes, and other-than-temporary impairment of securities.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level representing management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on management’s evaluation of the portfolio’s collectibility. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the size and composition of the portfolio, loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, trends and absolute levels of classified and criticized loans, trends and absolute levels in delinquent loans, trends in risk ratings, trends in industry charge-offs by particular segments and changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our lending areas and the national economy. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.
Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Specifically, the Company had a charitable contribution carryover of $1.4 million as of March 31, 2008, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $467,000. Utilization of this carryover is limited to 10% of taxable income on an annual basis. Such carryover will expire on December 31, 2011, if not utilized. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize this carryover it may require us to record a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset. Any valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period, which would negatively affect earnings.
17
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” and FASB Staff Position FAS 115-1and 124-1 “The Meaning of Other Than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” require companies to perform periodic reviews of individual securities in their investment portfolios to determine whether a decline in the value of a security is other than temporary. A review of other-than-temporary impairment requires companies to make certain judgments regarding the nature of the decline, its effect on the financial statements and the probability, extent and timing of a valuation recovery and the company’s intent and ability to hold the security. Pursuant to these requirements, we assess valuation declines to determine the extent to which such changes are attributable to (1) fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such as financial condition, business prospects or other factors, or (2) market-related factors, such as interest rates or equity market declines. If the decline in the market value of a security is determined to be other than temporary, we reduce the book value of such security to its current market value, recognizing the decline as a realized loss on the income statement.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007
Total assets increased $52.5 million, or 6.5%, to $865.4 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $812.9 million at December 31, 2007. Loans increased $11.4 million from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 as we continued to implement our strategic initiative to increase commercial loans. Mortgage related securities increased $59.0 million, due to a leverage strategy implemented during the first quarter of 2008. Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $70.2 million primarily due to the Bank liquidating $60.0 million in short-term auction rate bonds and municipal securities during the first quarter of 2008 and reinvesting such funds in short-term money market accounts, which increased by $50.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decision to liquidate the short-term auction bonds was based on the deteriorating market conditions for such securities that occurred during the first quarter of 2008.
Deposits increased $12.4 million, or 2.1%, from $585.6 at December 31, 2007 to $598.0 million at March 31, 2008 as the Bank continued its marketing initiatives to increase core deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $39.4 million, or 49.2%, to help fund the leverage strategy mentioned above.
Stockholders’ equity increased $1.0 million to $123.4 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $122.4 million at December 31, 2007 primarily due to net income and unrealized gain on investment portfolio, offset by the repurchase of 31,200 shares of common stock at a cost of $352,000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
General. Net income increased $52,000, or 17.7%, to $345,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to a $584,000 increase in net interest income offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $43,000, an increase in noninterest expense of $265,000, a provision for loan losses of $175,000 and an increase in tax expense of $49,000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $584,000, or 13.4%, to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared the same period in 2007 primarily due to an increase in the average balances on earning assets of $107.7 million and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 5.39% to 5.48%. These changes were offset by an increase in the average balances on interest-bearing liabilities of $104.8 million as well as an increase in the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities from 3.70% to 3.73%. The increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans of approximately $85.1 million year over year primarily related to the implementation of the Company’s focus on increasing its levels of commercial lending. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of FHLB advances of $77.9 million to fund a leverage strategy.

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

The increase in nonaccrual loans to $774,000 at March 31, 2008 from $260,000 at December 31, 2007 was a result of a $505,000 residential mortgage and a $54,000 home equity loan to one borrower, both of which were placed on non accrual during the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The loans were previously included in the 90 days past due and still accruing category as of December 31, 2007. The loans are secured by a residential property in southern New Jersey.

Service charges and other fee income decreased by $25,000 due to reduced loan-servicing income in connection with the Bank servicing a reduced level of mortgages for others and reduced deposit service charge income as the Bank modified certain fee policies related to deposit accounts. Gain on sale of loans decreased $54,000 as the Company discontinued selling residential mortgage loans during the second quarter 2007. Gain on sale of investment securities increased $70,000 during the first quarter of 2008 as the Company took advantage of the steepening yield curve to liquidate certain securities at a gain and reinvest the proceeds in higher-yielding securities. Other income decreased $38,000 as a result of the Bank receiving a reduced rate on the funds held at a third party check processor.

Salaries and benefits costs rose $381,000 between three month periods primarily due to $208,000 of expense associated with the equity awards granted under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, costs associated with the opening of the Bank’s West Chester, Pennsylvania branch in October 2007 and annual merit increases. Professional fees decreased $161,000 primarily due to legal fees paid in the first quarter of 2007 in relation to the litigation with the Bank’s former Chief Executive Officer, which was settled in the fourth quarter of 2007, and a decrease in consulting fees in connection with the Company’s first year of becoming Sarbanes Oxley compliant in 2007. Occupancy expense increased $87,000 primarily due to higher costs associated with the Company’s move to a leased operations center during the second quarter 2007 and the new West Chester branch.
Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $86,000 compared to $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.0% and 11.2% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These rates reflect the Company’s levels of tax-exempt income for both periods relative to the overall level of taxable income.

Liquidity and Capital Management
Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, securities repayments, maturities and sales. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loans and securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The following table presents certain of our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

(1) Represents lease obligations for operations center, one commercial loan production office and equipment.
(2) Includes principal and projected interest payments.
(3) Represents obligations to the Company’s third party data processing provider and other vendors.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy. We use a variety of measures to assess our liquidity needs, which are provided to our Asset/Liability Management Committee on a regular basis.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $82.4 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $285.1 million at March 31, 2008. In addition, at December 31, 2007, the latest date available, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $462.2 million from the FHLB. On March 31, 2008, we had $119.4 million of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB as well as $20.0 million of borrowings outstanding with another financial institution.
At March 31, 2008, we had $103.0 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of $4.4 million of mortgage loan commitments, $21.4 million in unused home equity lines of credit, $1.1 million in consumer loans, $74.4 million in commercial loan commitments and $1.7 million standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2008 totaled $250.2 million, or 62.4%, of total certificates of deposit at March 31, 2008. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for long periods in the current interest rate environment. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2009. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of these certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination and sale of loans and the purchase and sale of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

Capital Management. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2008, the Bank exceeded all of regulatory capital requirements and was considered a “well capitalized” institution under regulatory guidelines.
The following table presents the Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum capital requirements to be considered ‘‘well capitalized” by the OTS as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets) |
| 22.54 | % | > | 10.0 | % |
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) |

Tier 1 capital (to adjusted assets) |
| 12.03 | % | > | 5.0 | % |
The capital from the offering significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, this initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. The Company’s financial condition and results of operations have been enhanced by the capital from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets. However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the offering has had an adverse impact on our return on equity. The Company may use capital management tools such as cash dividends and share repurchases as well as improve operating income to increase its return on equity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit.
For the period ended March 31, 2008, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There has not been any material change to the market risk disclosure from that contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
While no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, effective April 1, 2008, Roger S. Deacon, former Chief Accounting Officer was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Jerry D. Holbrook, former Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Chief Operating Officer.
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
As of March 31, 2008, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
