(Unaudited)
A. Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jeffersonville Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Jeffersonville (collectively, Jeffersonville Bancorp and its subsidiary are referred to herein as the “Company”), with all significant intercompany transactions having been eliminated. In the opinion of Management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 as well as the results of operations and the cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Certain reclassifications have been made in order to conform to the current year’s presentation. All adjustments are normal and recurring. First quarter results are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated year-end financial statements, including notes thereto, which are included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 23, 2010.

D. New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing Topic 860 - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166 Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FAS Statement No. 140. The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. This Update was effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. This ASU was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, and it had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or operations of the Company.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) – Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in the Update replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users of financial statements. This Update was effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. This ASU was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, and it had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or operations of the Company.
In November 2008, the SEC released a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Under the proposed roadmap, the Company may be required to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2014. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on its consolidated financial statements and it will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820-10): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This update provides amendments that clarify existing disclosures on levels of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques to improve transparency in financial reporting. ASU 2010-06 also requires new disclosures on transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements and conforming all the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This amendment was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009 except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the roll-forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, and the applicable disclosures are contained herein. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or operations of the Company.
The FASB has issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.
In addition, the amendments in the ASU require an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date.
All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. As the Company is not a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market, this section of the ASU is not applicable and it’s subsequent adoption on April 1, 2010 had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or operations of the Company. This balance of this ASU was adopted by the Company on February 24, 2010, and the applicable disclosures are contained herein. The adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial position, cash flows or operations of the Company
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Securities included in government sponsored enterprises are securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or “Ginnie Mae”), and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or “Fannie Mae”). These securities are not backed by the full faith of the U.S. government. Substantially all mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations consist of residential mortgage securities and are securities guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which are U.S. government-sponsored entities. Obligations of state and political subdivisions are general obligation and revenue bonds of New York State municipalities, agencies and authorities. General obligation bonds must have a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) investment grade rating in the top four categories (S&P “BBB-” or higher). Revenue bonds must have an NRSRO rating in the top three categories (S&P “A” or higher). Corporate debt securities are comprised of bonds with an NRSRO rating in the top three investment grades (S&P “A” or better).
The contractual terms of the government sponsored enterprise securities and the obligations of state and political subdivisions require the issuer to settle the securities at par upon maturity of the investment. The contractual cash flows of the mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are guaranteed by various government agencies or government sponsored enterprises such as FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA.
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. All of the Company’s investment securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity are evaluated for OTTI. Securities identified as OTTI are written down to their current fair value. For debt and equity securities that are intended to be sold, or that management believes will more-likely-than-not be required to be sold prior to recovery, the full impairment is recognized immediately in earnings. An impairment will also be recorded if there is a credit related impairment. There are numerous factors to be considered when estimating whether a credit loss exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover. Indicators of a possible credit impairment include the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, additional declines in fair value after the balance sheet date. In determining whether a credit loss exists, an entity shall use its best estimate of the present value of expected cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security by discounting the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition.
There was no credit-related impairment charges recorded for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 or March 31, 2009 as management believes the impairment on securities in a continual loss position for 12 months or more, for both periods, did not represent an underlying credit quality impairment but instead are due to market fluctuation.
As of March 31, 2010, a total of $29,327,000 in available for sale securities had a $294,000 total unrealized loss which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet, net of tax. Two of these available for sale securities, totaling $470,000 with $4,000 of unrealized loss, were in a continual loss position for 12 months or more. These two were obligations of a state or political subdivision. Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on these non-equity securities at March 31, 2010 are due to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities, but instead are primarily related to market interest rates, and the full value of the securities will be realized upon maturity. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is, more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As such, only the credit loss component of the unrealized loss would be recognized in earnings, while the balance of the fair value loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. As there was no credit loss, no impairment charge was recorded on these securities for the period ended March 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, 52 available for sale securities totaling $28,857,000 had $290,000 in unrealized losses and were in a loss position for less than 12 consecutive months. Fifteen of these available for sale securities, totaling $15,007,000 with $99,000 of unrealized losses, were government sponsored enterprises securities, 6 totaling $5,211,000 with $83,000 in unrealized losses were mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgages, 30 totaling $7,575,000 with $93,000 in unrealized losses were obligations of state and political subdivisions and one was a corporate debt instrument for $1,064,000 with a $15,000 unrealized loss. There were no held to maturity securities in a loss position. Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on these securities at March 31, 2010 are due to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities, but instead are primarily related to market interest rates, and the full value of the securities will be realized upon maturity. No impairment charge was recorded on these securities for the period ended March 31, 2010.
As of December 31, 2009, a total of $17,154,000 in available for sale securities had a $224,000 total unrealized loss which is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet, net of tax. Two of these available for sale securities, totaling $234,000 with $8,000 of unrealized loss, were in a continual loss position for 12 months or more. One security was an obligation of a state or political subdivision and one was an equity security. Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on non-equity securities at December 31, 2009 are due to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities, but instead are primarily related to market interest rates, and the full value of the securities will be realized upon maturity. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is, more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost. As such, only the credit loss component of the unrealized loss would be recognized in earnings, while the balance of the fair value loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. No impairment charge was recorded on these securities for the period ended December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, 34 available for sale securities totaling $16,920,000 had $216,000 in unrealized losses and were in a loss position for less than 12 consecutive months. Seven of these available for sale securities, totaling $7,405,000 with $71,000 of unrealized losses, were government sponsored enterprises securities, three totaling $3,177,000 with $83,000 in unrealized losses were mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgages, and 23 totaling $6,338,000 with $62,000 in unrealized losses were obligations of state and political subdivisions. Held to maturity securities in a continual loss position for less than 12 months totaled $56,000 with an unrealized loss less than $1,000 and consisted of one obligation of a state or political subdivision. Management believes that none of the unrealized losses on these securities at December 31, 2009 are due to the underlying credit quality of the issuers of the securities, but instead are primarily related to market interest rates, and the full value of the securities will be realized upon maturity. No impairment charge was recorded on these securities for the period ended December 31, 2009.
F. Restricted Investments
As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB), the Company is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements. This stock is restricted in that it can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par value. As a result of these restrictions, FHLB stock is unlike the Company’s other investment securities insofar as there is no trading market for FHLB stock and the transfer price is determined by FHLB membership rules, not by market participants. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our FHLB stock totaled $1,149,000 for both periods, and is included as a part of restricted investments on the consolidated balance sheets.
FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment, and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company evaluates impairment quarterly. The decision of whether impairment exists is a matter of judgment that reflects our view of the FHLB’s long-term performance, which includes factors such as:
| · | its operating performance; |
| · | the severity and duration of declines in the fair value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount; |
| · | its commitment to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to its operating performance; |
| · | the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB, and accordingly, on the members of FHLB; and |
| · | its liquidity and funding position. |
After evaluating all of these considerations, the Company concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded on these securities in 2010 or 2009. Our evaluation of the factors described above in future periods could result in the recognition of impairment charges on FHLB stock.
G. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The Company also sponsors a postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefit plan for qualifying pension plan retirees as disclosed in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The components of the net periodic benefit cost for these plans follows:
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, for these plans were as follows (in thousands):
Net Periodic Benefit Cost | | Pension benefit | | | Postretirement benefit | |

Net amount recognized | | $ | 176 | | | $ | 235 | | | $ | 78 | | | $ | 85 | |
The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, that it expected to contribute $750,000 to its pension plan and $126,000 to its other postretirement benefits plan in 2010. As of March 31, 2010, a contribution of $750,000 was made to the pension plan and $24,000 of contributions had been made to the other postretirement benefits plan. The Company continues to expect that the contributions noted above for the postretirement plan for 2010 will be made and that there will be no additional contributions to the pension plan in 2010.
H. Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would possibly require liability recognition or disclosure other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally arise in connection with lending relationships. The credit risk involved in issuing these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Contingent obligations under standby letters of credit totaled approximately $629,000 at March 31, 2010 and $858,000 at December 31, 2009 and represent the maximum potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Typically, these instruments have terms of twelve months or less and expire unused; therefore, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer is evaluated individually for creditworthiness under the same underwriting standards used for commitments to extend credit for on-balance sheet instruments. Company policies governing loan collateral apply to standby letters of credit at the time of credit extension. Loan-to-value ratios are generally consistent with loan-to-value requirements for other commercial loans secured by similar types of collateral. The fair value of the Company's standby letters of credit at March 31, 2010 was insignificant.
I. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company follows ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), which provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3: | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). |
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, an asset’s or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. A full discussion of Topic 820 may be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 23, 2010.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | (Level 1) | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Quoted | | | | | | | |

(1) Based on its analysis of the nature and risks of these investments, the Company has determined that presenting them as a single class is appropriate.
There were no transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 for recurring assets.
Foreclosed real estate consists primarily of commercial real estate and is not revalued on a recurring basis. At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loans, establishing a new cost basis. At that time, they are reported in the Company’s fair value disclosures in the non-recurring table above. Occasionally, additional valuation adjustments are made based on updated appraisals and other factors and are recorded as recognized.
ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments (ASC 825) requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and the relevant market information. Where available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and the judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, prepayments, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may or may not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument.
Under ASC 825, fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of the assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts of existing financing instruments do not represent the underlying value of those instruments on the books of the Company.
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 financial assets and liabilities (none of which were held for trading purposes) at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, in thousands:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities
For a description of securities held in each class, see footnote E. The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted 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. The carrying values for securities maturing within 90 days approximate fair values because there is little interest rate or credit risk associated with these instruments.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, consumer, real estate and other loans. Each loan category is further segregated into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories. The fair values of performing loans are calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risks inherent in the loans. Estimated maturities are based on contractual terms and repricing opportunities.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans, which are predominately commercial real estate loans, are those in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, liquidation value 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. Impaired loans are transferred out of the Level 3 fair value hierarchy when payments reduce the outstanding loan balance below the fair value of the loan’s collateral or the loan is foreclosed upon. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans were $3,365,000 and $3,590,000, net of a valuation allowance of $884,000 and $862,000, respectively. Impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Restricted Investments
The carrying amount of restricted investments approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., 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 on time deposits.
Short-Term Debt
The carrying amounts of short-term debt approximate their fair values.
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings
Fair values of FHLB borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB borrowings with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
Fair values for the Bank’s off-balance-sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value estimates also consider the difference between current market interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated the related carrying values which were not significant for both reporting dates.

Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this report includes certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company based on current management’s expectations. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and the Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan and securities portfolios, changes in accounting principles, and other economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. Some of these and other factors are discussed in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such developments could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
A. Overview – Financial Condition
During the period from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010, total assets increased $27.6 million or 6.5%. The increase was primarily due to a net $19.5 million or 19.6% increase in total available for sale and held to maturity investment securities and a $7.8 million or 58.6% increase in cash and cash equivalents. The net increase in total assets was funded by deposit growth.
Total deposits increased $27.6 million or 7.8% from $352.2 million at December 31, 2009 to $379.8 million at March 31, 2010. Savings and insured money market deposits increased $13.0 million or 16.2%, NOW and super NOW accounts increased $10.0 million or 29.9%, and time deposits increased $6.9 million or 3.9%, all due to seasonal influences, such as tax revenues received by government entities which hold deposits at the Bank, and the Bank’s enhanced sales initiative. In addition, depositors have increasingly brought deposits to the Bank, possibly due to lack of other investment opportunities and uncertainty in the stock market. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased during the same period by $2.3 million or 3.5%.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $322,000 or 0.7% from $44.7 million at December 31, 2009 to $45.0 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was the result of net income of $791,000 plus a decrease of $79,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the transfer of $2,000 in treasury stock to common stock, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $550,000.

B. Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses reflects management’s assessment of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Provisions for loan losses are recorded to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed adequate by management based on an evaluation of such factors as economic conditions in the Company’s market area, past loan loss experience, the financial condition of individual borrowers, and underlying collateral values based on independent appraisals. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in Sullivan County. In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance that management has determined to be necessary to absorb probable incurred credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is established through provisions for losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management evaluates the allowance quarterly using past loan loss experience to establish base allowance pool rates for commercial mortgages, commercial loans, residential loans, consumer and other loans. These allowance pool rates are then adjusted based on management’s current assessment of eight risk factors. These risk factors are:
1. | Changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices. |
2. | Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans. |
3. | Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans. |
4. | Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff. |
5. | Changes in volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as and other loan modifications. |
6. | Changes in the quality of the Bank’s loan review system, and the degree of oversight by the Bank’s Board of Directors. |
7. | The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations. |
8. | The effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. |
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation. Several specific factors are believed to have more impact on a loan’s risk rating, such as those related to national and local economic trends, lending management and staff, volume of past dues and nonaccruals, and concentrations of credit. Therefore, due to the increased risk inherent in criticized and classified loans, the values of these specific factors are increased proportionally. Management believes these increased factors provide adequate coverage for the additional perceived risk. Doubtful loans by definition have inherent losses in which the precise amounts are dependent on likely future events. These particular loans are reserved at higher pool rates unless specifically reviewed and deemed impaired as described below.
Prior to applying the allowance pool rate, commercial mortgages and commercial loans in nonaccrual status or those with loan relationships of $500,000 or more are individually considered for impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that are considered individually for impairment and not determined to be impaired are returned to their original pools for allowance purposes. If a loan is determined to be impaired, it is evaluated under guidelines, which dictate that a creditor shall measure impairment based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan, such as the collateral value, is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a specific reserve is established in the allowance for loan losses.
Residential, consumer and other loans are considered homogenous pools and are not individually considered for impairment. Commercial mortgages and commercial loans with an original principal balance under $10,000 for unsecured loans or under $25,000 for secured loans are also not individually considered. Instead, the appropriate allowance pool rate is applied to the aggregate balance of these pools.
The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available, or as later events occur or circumstances change. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Modifications to the methodology used in the allowance for loan losses evaluation may be necessary in the future based on economic and real estate market conditions, new information obtained regarding known problem loans, regulatory guidelines and examinations, the identification of additional problem loans, changes in general accepted accounting principals or other factors.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and December 31, 2009 as follows, dollars in thousands:
| | Three months | | | Three months | | | | |
| | ended | | | ended | | | Year ended | |
| | March 31, | | | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
Allowance for Loan Losses | | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | 2009 | |
Balance at beginning of period | | $ | 3,988 | | | $ | 3,170 | | | $ | 3,170 | |
Provision for loan losses | | | 200 | | | | 150 | | | | 1,300 | |
Loans charged-off | | | (111 | ) | | | (108 | ) | | | (648 | ) |
Recoveries | | | 48 | | | | 56 | | | | 166 | |
Balance at end of period | | $ | 4,125 | | | $ | 3,268 | | | $ | 3,988 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average outstanding loans | | | 0.09 | % | | | 0.08 | % | | | 0.18 | % |
Allowance for loan losses to: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total loans | | | 1.48 | % | | | 1.23 | % | | | 1.43 | % |
Total non-performing loans | | | 31.6 | % | | | 38.5 | % | | | 30.0 | % |
The allowance for loan losses was $4.1 million at March 31, 2010, $3.3 million at March 31, 2009 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2009. Total nonperforming loans were $13.0 million at March 31, 2010 and $13.3 million at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $260,000. Net loan charge-offs increased to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $52,000 in the same period of 2009 and gross charge-offs increased to $111,000 in 2010 from $108,000 in 2009. The provision for loan losses was $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $150,000 for the same period in 2009. The allowance’s coverage on nonperforming loans was 31.6% at March 31, 2010, 30.0% at December 31, 2009 and 38.5% at March 31, 2009. An increase in the allowance for loan losses reflects the risks in the loan portfolio. The Bank’s loans remain well collateralized, and based on management’s analysis of the loan portfolio, the Bank’s minimal loss history and low charge-offs, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.
C. Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
The Company places a loan on nonaccrual status when collectability of principal or interest in accordance with the provisions of the loan documents is doubtful, or when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. The majority of the Company’s total nonaccrual and past due loans are secured loans and, as such, management anticipates there will be limited risk of loss upon their ultimate resolution. However, as inherent in estimates, the actual loss may vary. Interest income on nonaccrual loans that are well secured is recorded on a cash basis.
Nonperforming loans as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are summarized as follows, dollars in thousands:
| | March 31, 2010 | | | December 31, 2009 | |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 11,538 | | | $ | 12,037 | |
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest | | | 1,509 | | | | 1,270 | |
Total nonperforming loans | | $ | 13,047 | | | $ | 13,307 | |
Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans | | | 4.7 | % | | | 4.8 | % |
Commercial nonperforming loans are evaluated individually for impairment. As of March 31, 2010, there were $11,829,000 in loans, compared to $11,824,000 at December 31, 2009, which were considered to be impaired. As of each reporting date, a specific reserve of $884,000 and $862,000, respectively, was established to offset potential losses on these nonperforming loans.
D. Capital
Under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC) risk-based capital rules, a Bank is adequately capitalized if its leverage ratio (Tier I capital to average assets) and Tier I risk-based capital ratio are 4%, and its total risk-based capital is 8%. To be considered well capitalized, these ratios are 5%, 6% and 10% respectively. At March 31, 2010, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 10.3%, Tier I risk-based capital was 15.4% and total risk-based capital was 16.7%. These risk-based capital ratios are well above the minimum regulatory requirements for the Bank to be considered well capitalized.
The following table shows the Bank’s actual capital measurements compared to the minimum regulatory requirements as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, dollars in thousands.

Leverage (minimum 4.0%) | | | 10.3 | % | | | 10.5 | % |
1 For OCC risk-based capital rule purposes, the allowance for loan losses includes allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet letters of credit and is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets
2 Risk-weighted assets have been reduced for the portion allowance of loan losses excluded from total risk-based capital.

The Company’s operating results are affected by inflation to the extent that interest rates, loan demand and deposit levels adjust to inflation and impact net interest income. Management can best counter the effect of inflation over the long term by managing net interest income and controlling expenses.
LIQUIDITY
The objective of maintaining adequate liquidity is to assure the ability of the Company and its subsidiary to meet their financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of interest on deposits, borrowings, withdrawal of deposits on demand or at their contractual maturity, and the repayment of borrowings as they mature, the ability to fund new and existing loan commitments and the ability to take advantage of new business opportunities. The Company and its subsidiary achieve liquidity by maintaining a strong base of core customer funds, maturing short-term assets, the ability to sell securities, the availability of lines of credit and access to capital markets.
Liquidity at the subsidiary Bank level is managed through the monitoring of anticipated changes in loans, the investment portfolio, core deposits and wholesale funds. The strength of the subsidiary Bank’s liquidity position is a result of its base of core customer deposits. These core deposits are supplemented by wholesale funding sources, including credit lines with the other banking institutions, and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
The primary source of liquidity for the parent Company is dividends from the Bank. OCC regulations prohibit the Bank to pay a dividend without prior OCC approval if the total amount of all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of its retained net income to date during the calendar year and its retained net income over the preceding two years. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank is permitted to pay a dividend without prior OCC approval.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, cash generated from operating activities amounted to $357,000, and cash generated from financing activities was $27.1 million. These amounts were partially offset by cash used for investing activities in the amount of $19.7 million, resulting in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $7.8 million. See the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information.

E. Results of Operations
Net income for the first three months of 2010 increased $37,000 or 4.9% to $791,000 from $754,000 for the same period in 2009. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $419,000 to $4,049,000. This increase is primarily due to a $449,000 decrease in interest expense to $1,144,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 partially offset by a $50,000 increase in the provision for loan losses to $200,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Non-interest income decreased $105,000 and non-interest expenses increased $306,000, to partially offset the increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses. The provision for income taxes decreased $29,000 to $83,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company’s annualized return on average assets was 0.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, down from 0.8% for the same period last year. The annualized return on average stockholders’ equity was 7.0% for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Total net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $469,000 or 12.4% to $4,249,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 up from $3,780,000 from the same period in 2009, of which, $449,000 or 28.2% was the result of a decrease in interest expense from $1,593,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $1,144,000 for the same period in 2010. This decrease of $449,000 was attributable to a $230,000 or 18.8% decrease in interest expense on deposits and a $217,000 or 59.3% decrease in interest on fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower interest rates paid on time deposits and the maturity of $20.0 million in fixed rate FHLB borrowings. Interest income on investment securities increased $20,000 or 0.4% to $1,027,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase in interest on investment securities reflects an increase in security holdings partially offset by called securities being replaced by lower yielding investments.
The provision for loan losses was $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase from $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in 2010 was primarily due to the increased risks in the loan portfolio.
Non-interest income decreased to $786,000 for the first three months of 2010 compared to $891,000 for the same period in 2009, a change of $105,000 or 11.8%. This decrease was primarily the result of a $126,000 decrease in net security gains to $40,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, down from $166,000 from the first quarter of 2009. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase of $28,000 or 16.1% in fee income due to the higher volume of transactions. Non-interest expense increased $306,000 or 8.4% primarily due to a $329,000 increase in other non-interest expenses. The increase of $329,000 was primarily due to $218,000 in pre-foreclosure expense required to secure the Banks interest in a mortgaged property, $69,000 in higher FDIC insurance expense from $81,000 for the first quarter 2009 to $150,000 for the same period in 2010, and a $55,000 increase in consulting fees for business continuity planning.
Income tax expense was $83,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $112,000 for the corresponding period in 2009, a decrease of $29,000 or 25.9%. The Company’s effective tax rates were 9.5% and 12.9% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The reduction in effective tax rates was due to tax exempt interest being a higher percentage of income before income tax expense in 2010 as compared to 2009.
Throughout the following discussion, net interest income and its components are expressed on a tax equivalent basis which means that, where appropriate, tax exempt income is shown as if it were earned on a fully taxable basis. The discussion is based on the comparison of the three month average balance and yields, and year to date interest income and expense for the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Tax equivalent net interest spread increased 41 basis points to 4.39% at March 31, 2010 from 3.98% at March 31, 2009. Net interest margin increased 23 basis points, to 4.66% in the first quarter of 2010 from 4.43% in the same quarter of 2009. Tax equivalent net interest income increased $531,000 or 13.3% to $4.5 million for the first three months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The total average balance for interest earning assets was $388.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $361.1 million for the same three month period in 2009, an increase of $27.4 million or 7.6%. Although the overall yield on average interest earning assets decreased 35 basis points from 6.19% in 2009 to 5.84% in 2010, income on average interest earning assets increased $82,000 to $5.7 million or 5.84% at March 31, 2010, primarily due to a net $82,000 increase and a 62 basis point decrease in tax equivalent interest income on investment securities. Average investment securities increased $18.6 million or 20.6% to $109.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. As tax equivalent non-taxable securities were yielding higher returns than taxable securities, purchases of obligations of state and political subdivisions increased $16.4 million or 38.7% to $58.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and taxable securities increased $2.3 million or 4.7% to $50.7 million for the same period. Total average loans increased $11.5 million or 4.3% to $279.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 with a $1,000 increase in interest income compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the same periods, the yield on average total loans decreased by 26 basis points. Loan yields decreased in all categories; real estate mortgages decreased 22 basis points, home equity loans 31 basis points, time and demand loans 44 basis points and installment loans 29 basis points. Average loan balances increased in all categories; real estate mortgages increased $7.2 million or 3.7%, home equity loans increased $1.5 million or 4.9%, time and demand loans $2.2 million or 8.8% and installment loans $0.6 million. Market pressures have kept rates for new loans lower across all loan products, so despite the $11.5 million increase in loans, interest income increased only $1,000. In addition, the higher level of commercial mortgages on non-accrual status from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010 of $3.9 million had an effect on the 22 basis point decrease in that category.
The total average balance for interest bearing liabilities was $315.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $288.0 million for the same three month period in 2009, an increase of $27.9 million or 9.7%. The overall yield on average interest bearing liabilities decreased 76 basis points from 2.21% in 2009 to 1.45% in 2010. Interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities decreased $449,000 from $1.6 million to $1.1 million. The interest expense on average interest bearing deposits decreased $230,000, $257,000 of which was due to a 117 basis point decrease on average rate paid on time deposits. Despite an increase of $33.2 million in time deposits, the lower rates offset any additional interest expense due to the higher volume. Interest expense on average long-term debt decreased $217,000 or 21 basis points as $20 million in higher cost fixed rate debt matured in the later part of 2009.
F. Critical Accounting Policies
Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed adequate by management based on an evaluation of such factors as economic conditions in the Company’s market area, past loan loss experience, the financial condition of individual borrowers, and underlying collateral values based on independent appraisals and certain other factors. See Item 2.B. Management’s Discussion and Analysis/ Allowance for Loan Losses. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and values of real estate particularly in Sullivan County. Collateral underlying certain real estate loans could lose value which could lead to future additions to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.
Foreclosed real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These assets are recorded at the lower of fair value of the asset acquired less estimated costs to sell or “cost” (defined as the fair value at initial foreclosure). At the time of foreclosure, or when foreclosure occurs in-substance, the excess, if any, of the loan over the fair market value of the assets received, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses and any subsequent valuation adjustments are charged or credited to other non-interest income. Operating costs associated with the properties are charged to expense as incurred. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are included in income when title has passed and the sale has met the minimum down payment requirements prescribed by GAAP.
Impaired securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when market conditions warrant such an evaluation, to determine whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, management utilizes criteria such as the reasons underlying the impairment, the magnitude and duration of the impairment and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in the fair value. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the security. In addition, the total impairment is separated into the amount of the impairment related to (a) credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment related to all other factors, such as interest rate changes. The difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of a security is considered to be the credit loss. Once an impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, the impairment related to credit loss, if any, is charged to income and the amount of the impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, as the majority of the assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. There have been no material changes in the Company’s interest rate risk position since December 31, 2009. Other types of market risk, such as foreign exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.
