Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.
In determining OTTI management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4)

Table of Contents
whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary-impairment decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
When OTTI for debt securities occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI would be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors would be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable tax benefit. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings would become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
At September 30, 2011, the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio consisted of 23 securities, of which 2 were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and none were in a loss position for more than twelve months. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held no securities held to maturity that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.
Securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at September 30, 2011. Securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $2.0 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds on deposit at December 31, 2010.

The Bank grants commercial, mortgage and installment loans to those New Jersey residents and businesses within its local trading area. Its borrowers’ abilities to repay their obligations are dependent upon various factors, including the borrowers’ income and net worth, cash flows generated by the underlying collateral, value of the underlying collateral and priority of the Bank’s lien on the property. Such factors are dependent upon various economic conditions and individual circumstances beyond the Bank’s control; the Bank is therefore subject to risk of loss. The Bank believes its lending policies and procedures adequately manage the potential exposure to such risks and an allowance for loan losses is provided for management’s best estimate of probable loan losses.

As of September 30, 2011 the Bank had ten non-accrual loans totaling approximately $6.1 million, of which two loans totaling approximately $737 thousand had specific reserves of $97 thousand and eight loans totaling approximately $5.4 million had no specific reserve. If interest had been accrued on these non-accrual loans, the interest income would have been approximately $153 thousand and $239 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. Within its non-accrual loans at September 30, 2011, the Bank had two residential mortgage loans that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan. TDRs are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal or other actions to maximize collection. At September 30, 2011, one of these TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $533 thousand, had a specific reserve connected with it for $17 thousand and was not performing in accordance with its modified terms. The second loan classified as a TDR had an outstanding balance of $310 thousand, had no specific reserve connected to it and is performing in accordance with its modified terms.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (FASB ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include non-accruing loans but also include accruing loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loans, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had eleven impaired loans. Of these impaired loans, two loans totaling $737 thousand had specific reserves of $97 thousand and nine loans totaling approximately $5.6 million had no specific reserve.

The Bank adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 during the current period ended September 30, 2011. As required, the Bank reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year for identification as TDRs and found that there was one restructuring during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that met the requirements of a TDR. This restructuring had been reported as a TDR in a prior quarter. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had a total of three loans, one accruing and two non-accruing which meet the definition of a TDR and as such were also classified as impaired. The amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 for those loans identified as impaired. At the end of the first interim period of adoption for the Bank, the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance for loan losses was previously measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology and are now impaired under ASC Section 310-10-35 was $1.1 million, and the allowance for loan losses associated with those loans, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $17 thousand.

As indicated in the table above, the Bank modified one residential mortgage during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As a result of the modified terms of the new loan, the effective interest rate of the new terms of the modified loan was reduced when compared to the interest rate of the original terms of the modified loan. The Bank did not record an impairment due to the fair value of the underlying collateral of the loan being greater than the amount of the modified loan. The borrower has remained current since the modification.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Bank had one residential mortgage meeting the definition of a TDR which had a payment default. This loan had an unpaid principal balance of $533 thousand at September 30, 2011, and had a specific reserve of $17 thousand.
At September 30, 2011, the Bank had two residential mortgages that meet the definition of a TDR and which were performing to their modified terms.

Note 8. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than the Bank’s standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank had $2.0 million of commercial and similar letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. Management believes that the current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2011 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
Under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures”, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
· Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
· Level 2 Inputs - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
· Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (that is, supported with little or no market activity).
The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement of that asset or liability.
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period end and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at the respective reporting dates.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s finanical instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at cost)
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquiditiy and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.
24
Table of Contents
Restricted Investment in Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)
The fair value of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and the interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Impaired loans
Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under ASC Sub-topic 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors”, in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally deteremined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair value.
Other real estate owned
Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Subsequently, other real estate owned assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values.
Deposits (Carried at Cost)
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.

Limitation
The preceding fair value estimates were made at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instrument. These estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from an offer to sell at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument or category thereof. Since no market exists for a substantial portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were necessarily based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk assessment of various financial instruments, and other factors. Given the innately subjective nature of these estimates, the uncertainties surrounding them and the matter of significant judgment that must be applied, these fair value estimates cannot be calculated with precision. Modifications in such assumptions could meaningfully alter these estimates.
Since these fair value approximations were made solely for on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no attempt was made to estimate the value of anticipated future business. Furthermore, certain tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses could have a substantial impact on these fair value estimates and have not been incorporated into the estimates.
Note 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-02 (A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring)
In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, to clarify the accounting principles applied to loan modifications. ASU No. 2011-02 was issued to address the recording of an impairment loss in FASB ASC 310, Receivables. ASU No. 2011-02 adds text to the scope guidance Section 310-40-15 that is meant to help determine when a lender has granted a concession on
26
Table of Contents
their terms of a loan. The added material also provides criteria that should be used to help determine when the loan restructuring delays a payment by a length of time that is considered insignificant and when the borrower is having financial problems. For public companies the effective date is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, or later with retrospective application to the beginning of the fiscal year for loans that are restructured during the year in which the changes are adopted. The Company adopted this update as of the quarter beginning July 1, 2011 with retrospective application to the beginning of the year.
ASU 2011-03 (Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements)
The FASB has issued this ASU to clarify the accounting principles applied to repurchase agreements, as set forth by FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. This ASU, entitled Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements, amends one of three criteria used to determine whether or not a transfer of assets may be treated as a sale by the transferor. Under Topic 860, the transferor may not maintain effective control over the transferred assets in order to qualify as a sale. This ASU eliminates the criteria under which the transferor must retain collateral sufficient to repurchase or redeem the collateral on substantially agreed upon terms as a method of maintaining effective control. This ASU is effective for both public and nonpublic entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and requires prospective application to transactions or modifications of transactions which occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2011-04 (Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs)
This ASU amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The ASU clarifies existing guidance for items such as: the application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity’s stockholder’s equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The ASU also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The ASU also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as: disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes. For public entities, this ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2011-05 (Presentation of Comprehensive Income)
The provisions of this ASU amend FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to facilitate the continued alignment of U.S. GAAP with International Accounting Standards. The ASU prohibits the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the statement of stockholder’s equity. Reporting entities are allowed to present either: a statement of comprehensive income, which reports both net income and other comprehensive income; or separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under previous GAAP, all 3 presentations were acceptable. Regardless of the presentation selected, the Reporting Entity is required to present all reclassifications between other comprehensive and net income on the face of the new statement or statements. The provisions of this ASU
27
Table of Contents
are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public entities. For nonpublic entities, the provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. As the two remaining options for presentation existed prior to the issuance of this ASU, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Management believes the following critical accounting policies
29
Table of Contents
encompass the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents our best estimate of losses known and inherent in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. In determining the amount of the ALLL, we consider the losses inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of our loan activities, along with general economic and real estate market conditions. We utilize a segmented approach which identifies: (1) impaired loans for which specific reserves are established; (2) classified loans for which a higher allowance is established; and (3) performing loans for which a general valuation allowance is established. We maintain a loan review system which provides for a systematic review of the loan portfolios and the early identification of impaired loans. The review of residential real estate and home equity consumer loans, as well as other more complex loans, is triggered by identified evaluation factors, including delinquency status, size of loan, type of collateral and the financial condition of the borrower. All commercial loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Specific loan loss allowances are established for impaired loans based on a review of such information and/or appraisals of the underlying collateral. General loan loss allowances are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and management’s judgment.
Although specific and general loan loss allowances are established in accordance with management’s best estimates, actual losses are dependent upon future events, and as such, further provisions for loan losses may be necessary in order to increase the level of the allowance for loan losses. For example, our evaluation of the allowance includes consideration of current economic conditions, and a change in economic conditions could reduce the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. This could result in increased delinquencies and increased non-performing loans, and thus a need to make increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Any such increase in provisions would result in a reduction to our earnings. A change in economic conditions could also adversely affect the value of properties collateralizing real estate loans, resulting in increased charges against the allowance and reduced recoveries, and require increased provisions to the allowance for loan losses. Furthermore, a change in the composition, or growth, of our loan portfolio could result in the need for additional provisions.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the deferred tax asset or liability is expected to be settled or realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax assets are reduced, through a valuation allowance, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on current available evidence.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities, while interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. Net income is also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of non-interest income as well as by non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other expenses.
Net Income
Net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $901 thousand compared to net income of $544 thousand for the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $357 thousand, or 66%. This increase was due in most part to an increase in net interest income of approximately $612 thousand, or 19%, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $130 thousand, offset somewhat by an increase in non-interest expenses of approximately $154 thousand. Income tax expense increased by $225 thousand, or 61%, from $368 thousand to $593 thousand, as a result of the increase in pre-tax income.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $2.4 million compared to net income of approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $769 thousand, or 49%. Similar to the quarterly growth, the increase was attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1.8 million, or 20%, from $9.3 million to $11.2 million. This increase was offset somewhat by increases in non-interest expenses and income tax expense of $590 thousand and $482 thousand, respectively, as well as a loss on the sale of other real estate owned, or OREO, of $203 thousand as compared to no loss in the same period of the prior year.
On a per share basis, basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.17 for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the third quarter of 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. For both the three month period and the nine month period, the growth in net interest income has been, primarily, driven by increased interest income from loans, including fees, combined with the Company’s ability to attract lower cost deposits during the current interest rate environment. During the third quarter of 2011, net interest income reached $3.8 million from $3.2 million during the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 19%, primarily as a result of loan growth during the period and the lower cost of deposits. During the third quarter of 2011, average loans grew to $346.2 million, an increase of $66.1 million over the average balance of loans for the third quarter one year ago of $280.1 million. The Company’s average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 1.51% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 1.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net interest income reached $11.2 million compared to $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million, or 20%. This
31
Table of Contents
increase is attributable to the increase in interest income from loans, including fees and is due in most part to the increase in loans. For the year to date period ended September 30, 2011, the average balance of loans was $330.7 million, an increase of $55.7 million over the average balance of loans for the year to date period ended September 30, 2010, of $275.0 million. Interest income from loans, including fees, securities and federal funds sold reached $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $2.0 million, or 16%. At the same time, interest expense increased from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of approximately $171 thousand, or 5%. The Company’s average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 1.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 1.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is a recorded expense determined by management that adjusts the allowance for loan losses to a level, which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio, The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision reflects both the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools. The provision for loan losses was $300 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $430 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $130 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses was $898 thousand as compared to $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $187 thousand. Despite this decrease, the allowance for loan losses was 1.22% of total loans at September 30, 2011, the same ratio as at September 30, 2010.
Non-interest Income (Loss)
Non-interest income (loss) consists primarily of fees and service charges and a loss on the sale of OREO. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, non-interest income totaled $48 thousand, a decrease of $6 thousand, as compared to $54 thousand for the same period in the previous year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the non-interest loss was $41 thousand, a decrease of $193 thousand from the nine months ended September 30, 2010 non-interest income total of $152 thousand. Both of the period decreases were due to the loss on the sale of one OREO property in the second quarter of 2011. The Company had no OREO at September 30, 2011.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $154 thousand, or 8% during the third quarter of 2011, to $2.1 million from $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase was due in most part to increases in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees of $152 thousand and $36 thousand, respectively, offset somewhat by a decrease in FDIC premiums of $72 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, non-interest expense reached approximately $6.3 million from approximately $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $590 thousand, or 10%. This increase reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits, professional fees and data processing expenses of $316 thousand, $118 thousand and $71 thousand, respectively. The increases related to salaries and employee benefits for both periods is due in most part to the Company’s overall growth and also to a lesser extent to annual increases to salaries. Professional fees increased from $111 thousand to $147 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively, a change of $36 thousand, or 32%, and from $357 thousand to $475 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The increase was principally due to an increase in legal fees in both the
32
Table of Contents
three month and nine month periods of 2011. The decrease in FDIC premiums for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 was due to a change in the required insurance premium calculation to an asset based one that occurred in 2011. The change in the calculation of the base of the FDIC premium benefitted the Bank.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision grew to $593 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $368 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, representing an increase of $225 thousand, or 61%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, income tax expense reached $1.6 million as compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $482 thousand, or 44%. The income tax provision is reflective of our pre-tax income and the effect of permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These permanent tax differences include the recognition of non-deductible stock option expense as required under FASB ASC 718. The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, were 39.7% and 40.1%, respectively, compared to 40.4% and 40.8%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total consolidated assets increased $66.1 million, or approximately 17.9%, from $370.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $436.4 million at September 30, 2011. Total deposits increased from $318.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $381.6 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $63.1 million, or approximately 19.8%. Loans receivable, or “total loans,” increased from $302.1 million at December 31, 2010 to $352.9 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $50.8 million, or approximately 16.8%.
Loans
Our loan portfolio is the primary component of our assets. Total loans, which exclude net deferred fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses, increased by 16.8% to reach $352.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $302.1 million at December 31 2010. This growth in the loan portfolio continues to be primarily attributable to recommendations and referrals from members of our board of directors, our shareholders, our executive officers, and selective marketing by our management and staff. We believe that we will continue to have opportunities for loan growth within the Bergen County market of northern New Jersey, due in part, to our customer service, and competitive rate structures. We believe that it is not cost-efficient for large institutions, many of which are headquartered out of state, to provide the level of personal service to small business borrowers that these customers seek and that we endeavor to provide.
Our loan portfolio consists of commercial loans, real estate loans, consumer loans and home equity loans. Commercial loans are made for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment or inventory, as well as for other business purposes. Real estate loans consist of loans secured by commercial or residential real property and loans for the construction of commercial or residential property. Consumer loans and home equity loans, are made for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being owned or being purchased.
Our loans are primarily to businesses and individuals located in Bergen County, New Jersey. We have not made loans to borrowers outside of the United States. We have not made any sub-prime loans. Commercial lending activities are focused primarily on lending to small business borrowers. We believe that our strategy of customer service, competitive rate structures, and selective marketing have enabled us to gain market entry to local loans. Furthermore, we believe that bank mergers and lending restrictions at larger financial institutions with which we compete have also contributed to the success of our efforts to

attract borrowers. Additionally, during this current economic climate, our capital position and safety has also become important to potential borrowers.

Loan Quality
As mentioned above, our principal assets are our loans. Inherent in the lending function is the risk of the borrower’s inability to repay a loan under its existing terms. Risk elements include non-accrual loans, past due and restructured loans, potential problem loans, loan concentrations, and other real estate owned.
Non-performing assets include loans that are not accruing interest (non-accrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more and accruing loans that are 90 days past due, troubled debt restructuring loans and foreclosed assets. When a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest, including interest applicable to prior years, is reversed and recorded in the allowance for loan losses. Until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of such payments of interest. In the case of modified loans that meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring loan (“TDR”), loan payments are applied as contractually agreed to in the TDR modification.
We attempt to manage overall credit risk through loan diversification and our loan underwriting and approval procedures. Due diligence begins at the time we begin to discuss the origination of a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source and timing of the repayment of the loan, and other factors are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. Loans made are also subject to periodic audit and review.
As of September 30, 2011 the Bank had ten non-accrual loans totaling approximately $6.1 million, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2010 and $6.6 million at June 30, 2011. Of the non-accrual loans outstanding on September 30, 2011, two loans totaling approximately $737 thousand had specific reserves of $97 thousand and eight loans totaling approximately $5.4 million had no specific reserve. If interest had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $153 thousand and $239 thousand, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011. Within its non-accrual loans at September 30, 2011, the Bank had two residential mortgage loans that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring loan. TDRs are loans where the contractual terms of the loan have been modified for a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications could include a reduction in the interest rate of the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal or other actions to maximize collection. At September 30, 2011, one of these TDR loans had an outstanding balance of $533 thousand, had a specific reserve connected with it for $17 thousand and was not performing in accordance with its modified terms. The second loan classified as a TDR had an outstanding balance of $310 thousand, had no specific reserve connected to it and is performing in accordance with its modified terms.
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (FASB ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include non-accruing loans but also include accruing loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loans, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had eleven impaired loans. Of these impaired loans, two loans totaling $737 thousand had specific reserves of $97 thousand and nine loans totaling approximately $5.6 million had no specific reserve.
As a community bank, our market area is concentrated in Bergen County, New Jersey, and as a result we have a concentration of loans collateralized by real estate, primarily in our market area at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Bank’s loan portfolio has no foreign loans and no sub-prime loans.

Investment Securities
Securities held as available for sale (“AFS”) were approximately $40.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $27.9 million at December 31, 2010. This increase in the AFS category represented the purchase of securities during the period with funds in excess of federal funds sold. Securities held to maturity increased $182 thousand to $3.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $3.7 million at December 31, 2010.
Deposits
Deposits remain our primary source of funds. Total deposits increased to $381.6 million at September 30, 2011 from $318.4 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $63.1 million, or 19.8%. Time deposits, noninterest-bearing checking accounts, and savings and interest bearing checking accounts grew $31.5 million, $16.6 million and $15.0 million, respectively. We believe this increase is due, in part, to the public perception of our safety and soundness. During this interest rate environment, our attractive time deposit products have allowed the Bank to increase its overall deposits while still being able to reduce its overall cost of deposits and thereby increasing its net interest income. The increase is also attributable to the continued referrals of our board of directors, stockholders, management, and staff. The Company has no foreign deposits, nor are there any material concentrations of deposits.
Liquidity
Our liquidity is a measure of our ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner. Our principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, if warranted, we would be able to borrow funds.
Our total deposits equaled $381.6 million and $318.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The growth in funds provided by deposit inflows during this period, coupled with our cash position during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, has been sufficient to provide for our loan demand.
Through the investment portfolio, we have generally sought to obtain a safe, yet slightly higher yield than would have been available to us as a net seller of overnight federal funds, while maintaining liquidity. Through our investment portfolio, we also attempt to manage our maturity gap, by seeking maturities of investments which coincide with maturities of deposits. The investment portfolio also includes securities available for sale to provide liquidity for anticipated loan demand and other liquidity needs.
As of September 30, 2011, we have a $12 million overnight line of credit with First Tennessee Bank and a $10 million overnight line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for the purchase of federal funds in the event that temporary liquidity needs arise. There were no amounts outstanding under either facility at June 30, 2011. We are an approved member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, or “FHLBNY.” The FHLBNY relationship could provide additional sources of liquidity, if required.

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.
Capital Resources
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Our federal regulators have classified and defined our capital into the following components: (1) Tier 1 Capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock and qualifying preferred stock, and (2) Tier 2 Capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt, and preferred stock which does not qualify for Tier 1 Capital. Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require certain capital as a percent of our assets and certain off-balance sheet items, adjusted for predefined credit risk factors, referred to as “risk-adjusted assets.”
Pursuant to federal regulation we are required to maintain, at a minimum, Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 4.0% and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital, or “Total Capital,” as a percentage of risk-adjusted assets of 8.0%.
In addition to the risk-based guidelines, our regulators require that an institution which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards maintain a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of tangible assets) of 3.0%. For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process. We are currently required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at September 30, 2011, as well as the applicable minimum ratios:
| | | | Minimum | |
| | | | Regulatory | |
| | September 30, 2011 | | Requirements | |
Risk-Based Capital: | | | | | |
Tier 1 Capital Ratio | | 14.35 | % | 4.00 | % |
Total Capital Ratio | | 15.57 | % | 8.00 | % |
Leverage Ratio | | 12.04 | % | 4.00 | % |
The capital levels detailed above reflect the success of our initial stock offering as well as our results of operations. As we continue to employ our capital and grow our operations, we expect that our capital levels will decrease, but that we will remain a “well-capitalized” institution.
The Company is subject to similar regulatory capital requirements, and its capital ratios are similar to the Bank’s capital ratios as presented in the table above.
