NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dimeco, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Dime Bank (the "Bank"). The financial statements of The Dime Bank include the consolidated financial statements of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TDB Insurance Services, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Certain comparative amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications did not affect net income or equity capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this Update provide additional guidance or clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company has provided the necessary disclosures in Note 5.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The main objective in developing this Update is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this Update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic. The amendments affect all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The guidance in this Update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update improve the comparability, clarity, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. All entities that report items of comprehensive income, in any period presented, will be affected by the changes in this Update. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other Topics (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The objective of this update is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic, that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80). The amendments in this Update will require additional disclosures about an employer’s participation in a multiemployer pension plan to enable users of financial statements to assess the potential cash flow implications relating to an employer’s participation in multiemployer pension plans. The disclosures also will indicate the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates and assist a financial statement user to access additional information that is available outside the financial statements. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively for all prior periods presented. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements
Stock Compensation Plans
The Company maintains two stock option plans for key officers and non-employee directors.
On April 22, 2010 the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in order to issue options in future periods. On September 21, 2011, the board of Directors granted options to officers and directors under this plan as follows:
| | # of Options granted | | | Exercise Price | |
Stock options: | | | | | | |
Incentive | | | 52,900 | | | $ | 35.00 | |
Non-qualified | | | 21,600 | | | $ | 35.00 | |
Restricted stock | | | 24,460 | | | $ | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
Remaining shares available in Plan | | | 26,040 | | | | | |
As of September 30, 2011 $26,000 was expensed as compensation cost relating to unvested share-based compensation while in 2010 there was no similar expense because no awards were granted at that time under this plan. At September 30, 2011, approximately $211,000 in additional compensation expense for awarded options was unrecognized and $836,000 in additional compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants was unrecognized. The weighted average period over which these expenses will be recognized is approximately four years.
Shares granted under the Plan vest at the rate of 50% per year for those given to directors and 20% per year for those given to employees. The vesting period is the same for both stock options and restricted stock options granted.
A summary of the Company’s stock award activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:
| | Nine Months Ended | |

The estimated fair value of options granted in 2011 using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $2.91 per share using the following weighted average assumptions:
Dividend yield | | | 4.110 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 17.436 | % |
Interest rate | | | 1.271 | % |
Expected life of options | | 6.6 years | |
NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income (unaudited) will be used as the numerator. The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation:
| | Three months ended September 30, | | | Nine months ended September 30, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Weighted average common stock outstanding | | | 1,653,358 | | | | 1,651,845 | | | | 1,652,668 | | | | 1,644,055 | |
Average treasury stock | | | (54,100 | ) | | | (54,100 | ) | | | (54,100 | ) | | | (54,100 | ) |
Average unearned nonvested shares | | | 24,460 | | | | - | | | | 8,243 | | | | - | |
Weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate basic earnings per share | | | 1,623,718 | | | | 1,597,745 | | | | 1,606,811 | | | | 1,589,955 | |
Additional common stock equivalents (nonvested stock) used to calculate diluted earnings per share | | | 1,194 | | | | - | | | | 402 | | | | - | |
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share | | | 271 | | | | 1,557 | | | | 899 | | | | 748 | |
Weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share | | | 1,625,183 | | | | 1,599,302 | | | | 1,608,112 | | | | 1,590,703 | |
Options to purchase 74,500 shares of common stock at a price greater than the current market value were outstanding at September 30, 2011 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive. There were no options outstanding at September 30, 2010 which would have an antidilutive effect on the earnings per share computation.

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has asserted that at September 30, 2011, the declines outlined in the above tables represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of its cost basis, which may be at maturity. There were 27 and 55 positions that were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary, but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes or company-specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period in consideration for debt securities. Determination of other than temporary losses in the financial services equity portfolio includes consideration of the length of time in a loss position, analysis of the capital structure of the entity and review of publicly available regulatory actions and published financial reports.
The Company received proceeds of $1,032,000 and recorded a gain of $14,000 from sales of securities in the third quarter of 2011.

Credit Quality Information
The following tables represent credit exposures by assigned grades as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company's internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.
The Company's internally assigned grades are as follows:
Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.
Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.
Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.
Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectable, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
Loans are graded by either independent loan review or internal review. Internally reviewed loans were assigned a risk weighting by the loan officer and approved by the loan committee, but have not undergone a formal loan review by an independent party. These loans are typically smaller dollar balances that have not experienced delinquency issues. Balances include gross loan value before unearned income and excluding overdrafts as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Impaired Loans
Management considers commercial loans and commercial real estate loans which are 90 days or more past due as impaired, and if warranted, includes the entire customer relationship in that status. These loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.
The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are considered nonaccrual upon reaching 90 days delinquency, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. Loans that are well secured and in the process of collection may not be placed on nonaccrual status based on management’s review of the specific loan. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income.
In the following table are loans, presented by class, on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Total | | | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | | 7 | | | $ | 4,623 | | | $ | 4,623 | |
The restructuring of the commercial real estate loans was the result of lowering the payment amount for a period of time and did not include any change in principal balance or interest rate. The residential real estate loans were modified by lowering the stated interest rate on the original loans. No principal reduction was made. Additional interest income of $4,000 would have been recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 at the original interest rate as compared to the adjusted interest rate on the residential real estate loans.
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are as follows:
Level I: | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. |
Level II: | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. |
Level III: | Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. |
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses for financial instruments recorded at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis:
Securities Available for Sale
Securities available for sale consists of both debt and equity securities. These securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all of these securities used valuation methodologies involving market based or market derived information, collectively Level I and Level II measurements, to measure fair value.
The Company closely monitors market conditions involving assets that have become less actively traded. If the fair value measurement is based upon recent observable market activity of such assets or comparable assets (other than forced or distressed transactions) that occur in sufficient volume, and do not require significant adjustment using unobservable inputs, those assets are classified as Level I or Level II; if not, they are classified as Level III. Making this assessment requires significant judgment.
The Company uses prices from independent pricing services and, to a lesser extent, indicative (non-binding) quotes from independent brokers to measure securities.
The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands).

The following table presents the assets measured on a nonrecurring basis on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loan include: quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level I inputs; observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs (in thousands).

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.
If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates that are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.
As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.
The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, Regulatory Stock, and Accrued Interest Payable
The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.
Investment Securities
The fair value of investment securities available for sale is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.
Fixed Annuity
The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.
Loans and Mortgage Servicing Rights
The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.
Deposits, Short Term Borrowings and Other Borrowed Funds
The fair values of certificates of deposit and other borrowed funds are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities. Demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand as of period-end.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure.

Financial Condition
Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $569,956,000, an increase of $27,742,000 or 5.1% greater than at December 31, 2010.
Investment securities available for sale increased $6,208,000 or 7.8 % from balances at December 31, 2010. This increase is the result of additional purchases of tax-exempt municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities, offset by calls of U.S. government agency bonds and maturities of corporate bonds during the period. Tax-exempt municipal bonds have continued to offer more attractive yields than other investment opportunities of similar duration. In addition, we have purchased collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed products for their ability to provide liquidity through scheduled principal payments. U.S. government agencies and corporate bonds did not offer better yields and liquidity than these bonds at the time of purchase.
Total loans increased $18,812,000 or 4.4% during the first nine months of 2011. This increase is after the transfer of $3,267,000 to other real estate owned and loan charge-offs of $1,346,000 during the first nine months of 2011. Taking those changes into consideration, loans secured by non-farm, non-residential properties increased by $12,516,000 or 4.9%. Children’s recreational camps represented approximately $4 million of this growth and the remaining portion was spread between varieties of commercial enterprises. Loans secured by one-to-four family residences increased $4,770,000 or 5.8%. Commercial loans secured by one-to-four family residences represent approximately $2,600,000 of the increase. The remaining growth is the result of originations of non-conforming residential mortgages. The credit quality of these non-conforming mortgages is within our policy guidelines for residential mortgages but the loans are non-conforming due to factors such as excess acreage, additional out-buildings or uniqueness of the structure, all of which are common to our rural market.
Other real estate owned increased by $3,232,000 or 336.7%, primarily due to the addition of the commercial real estate properties noted above. Management is negotiating with potential buyers to sell a $3,000,000 property and is actively working toward liquidating this asset. We have entered into an agreement for sale of a commercial restaurant property which is valued at $683,000. We expected that sale to be closed by the end of the second quarter 2011 but legal timing issues have continued to hold up the sale. We expect to have the closing in November 2011.
Total deposits increased $13,940,000 or 3.1% at September 30, 2011 as compared to balances at the end of 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $9,921,000 or 23.0%. This growth included balances obtained from new commercial and retail relationships along with temporary seasonal increases for several commercial customers. At the same time, interest-bearing deposits increased $4,019,000 or 1.0%. Certificates of deposit decreased $14,521,000 or 5.6% from year end balances primarily related to a decline of $21,075,000 for local school districts, which is a normal variance based on the timing of their tax collections. During 2009 and 2010, we originated certificates of deposit that offered a premium interest rate but discontinued the program later in the year. As those deposits reached maturity, we experienced a combination of customers investing in our certificates of deposit at the lower rates offered or transferring funds to more liquid deposit accounts here or at other banks. By eliminating the premium interest rate products, we expected the decline in balances at our institution. Our research showed that the majority of those who moved funds elsewhere did not have any other accounts with the Bank. The Bank participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) which offers our customers a product that grants FDIC insurance up to $50 million. This program has been successful as another product offering to our customers and, in addition, we are able to utilize this partnership as a source of additional liquidity by purchasing non-reciprocated brokered funds. During 2011, we increased our balances of these certificates of deposit by $14,542,000 or 62.0% primarily due to the Bank’s increase of $14,080,000 in these one-way deposits. As another source of liquidity, we have the ability to access other brokered deposits. In the third quarter of 2011, we purchased $3,000,000 of brokered deposits through a long-time investment partner. While balances of certificates of deposit declined, we experienced growth of $19,197,000 or 42.5% in interest-bearing checking products, $2,923,000 or 7.3% in savings account balances and a decline of $3,579,000 or 5.4% in money market accounts. We believe that, in this low point of the interest rate cycle, customers would rather maintain liquid deposits than invest in longer term products and are positioning their funds in various deposit products to accomplish that goal.
At September 30, 2011, short-term borrowings increased $11,727,000 or 90.2% from balances at year end 2010. At September 30, 2011 these borrowings included $10,000,000 of short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) for which we had no corresponding balance at the end of 2010. These borrowings were at an average rate of 25 basis points, significantly less than deposit interest rates for similar durations. In addition, securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $1,727,000 as a result of opening additional accounts and the normal variances in customers’ balances.
Stockholders’ equity increased $3,646,000 or 7.2% during the first three quarters of 2011. Net income of $4,118,000 was offset by dividends declared of $1,727,000. In addition, we recognized an increase in the market value of our investment portfolio of $1,180,000 net of income taxes in the first three quarters of 2011, serving to increase the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. Regulatory capital ratios remain strong with 12.3% total risk-based capital, 11.1% Tier I capital and a Tier I leverage ratio of 9.4%. The regulatory minimums to be well capitalized for these ratios are 10.0%, 6.0% and 5.0%, respectively.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
The Company reported net income of $1,182,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $93,000 or 7.3% as compared to the third quarter of 2010.
Net interest income, the largest portion of income, was $5,103,000 for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $618,000 or 13.8% greater than recorded for the third quarter of 2010.
Total interest income increased slightly during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter of 2010, showing an increase of $132,000 or 2.1%. Interest and fees earned on loans increased $128,000 or 2.3% in 2011 over 2010 while the average balance of the loan portfolio increased by $22,834,000 or 5.5%. At the same time, the average interest rate of the portfolio declined by .2%, resulting in the average rate earned of 5.2% during the third quarter of 2011. Interest rate declines on variable interest rate loans have slowed significantly as compared to previous periods although we will continue to see a small number of loans repricing to lower rates as long as market rates remain at current levels. Offsetting those declines are interest rate floors on new financings and on renewals of lines of credit. Compounding the decline in interest earned were $12,881,000 of loans in nonaccrual status at September 30, 2011. Interest income would have been $260,000 greater if these loans performed according to terms. This compares to the September 30, 2010 balance of nonaccrual loans at $9,871,000 which would have earned $124,000 of additional interest income if performing.
Interest earned on taxable investment securities decreased $43,000 or 11.6% for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The average balance of these investments declined $12,224,000 or19.1% in this period while the average yield increased .2% in 2011 as compared to 2010. With greater loan demand, we were able to transfer maturities of investments to higher yielding loans. In an effort to provide greater yield within the investment portfolio, we have repositioned some of the portfolio from short-term commercial paper and callable government agency bonds into mortgage pass through bonds to provide liquidity while increasing the yield.
In addition, we increased the average balance of tax exempt investments by $6,079,000 or 23.5% for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to a year earlier. The average tax equivalent interest rate earned on the portfolio declined slightly in 2011 at 5.7% compared to 5.9% in 2010. We continued to invest in tax exempt bonds during the past year because we believed they were the most appropriate investment for our portfolio. We understand that these investments have extended the duration of our investment portfolio but are comfortable with this choice as we have begun to utilize other liquidity sources.
Interest expense declined $486,000 or 28.0% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. Interest paid on deposits declined $447,000 or 30.6% as the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits declined $1,042,000 or .3%. The average balance of certificates of deposit declined $16,396,000 or 6.5% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter of 2010. Simultaneously, the average interest rate paid on those deposits decreased by .6% over the period. This decline in both the interest rate paid and balances invested in certificates of deposit came as the successful result of the strategy implemented in 2010 to decrease our cost of funds. The deposit mix shifted from these highest-costing accounts to money market, savings and interest-bearing checking accounts. Balances of these accounts increased an average of $15,354,000 or 10.3% for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Interest paid on these deposits declined $21,000 or 11.7% with the average cost of these funds declining 9 basis points for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to a year earlier.
The cost of other borrowed funds declined $31,000 or 13.3% due to the maturity of several higher-costing borrowings which served to decrease the average balance of these funds from $21,067,000 in 2010 to $18,261,000 in 2011.
The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management’s best estimates of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on:
· | type of lending conducted by the Bank; |
· | the level and status of past due and non-performing loans; |
· | the general economic conditions in the Bank’s lending area along with national trends; and |
· | other factors affecting the collectability of the loans in its portfolio. |
Provision for loan loss expense of $1,300,000 was $780,000 or 150.0% greater in the third quarter of 2011 than the same quarter of 2010. During the third quarter we identified several loans secured by real estate as impaired and based on new appraised values of the collateral, determined that we needed to increase the allowance by this amount. Each quarter we analyze the loan portfolio to determine the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, booking the necessary adjustment to provision expense. We continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and based on our analysis believe that the balance of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
Total noninterest income declined $97,000 or 9.4% for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter of 2010. Service charges on deposit accounts declined $43,000 or 14.2% from income a year earlier primarily due to a general increase in our customer’s diligence in monitoring their balances to avoid service charges on their accounts. Brokerage commissions declined $31,000 or 16.6% over the same period last year. In 2010 the market for fixed annuities offered higher returns than certificates of deposit and we sold quite a few of these products, but the rate of return dropped in 2011 and we have not had comparable sales volume this year. In addition, we have seen several customers utilize investment assets due to the current economy and their need for cash. Smaller changes in the other components of other noninterest income were responsible for the remaining difference in income.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $99,000 or 6.0% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010. Wages increased $69,000 or 5.7% in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to annual salary increases and the addition of an experienced lender in the first quarter of 2011. Employee benefits decreased $20,000 or 5.4% primarily because of cost fluctuations relating to our self-funded medical insurance as stop loss insurance claims were paid on claims incurred in previous periods. Employees are given specific areas for profit improvement each year upon which incentives are based. In 2011 these incentives were accrued at a greater percentage rate than in 2010 based on better performance compared to the goals, requiring $37,000 or 523.5% greater accrual than in 2010. With the granting of stock options in September 2011 to all officers of the Company, we have an accounting charge of $13,000 in 2011 that was not necessary in 2010. Other miscellaneous employment expenses account for the remaining changes.
Professional fees decreased $71,000 or 33.0% primarily as a result of a decline of $117,000 in legal fees because in the third quarter of 2010 we incurred significant expense related to the use of out of state counsel which was not matched in 2011. Offsetting that decline by $31,000, we have utilized the services of a third party compliance group in 2011 that was not included in 2010. Smaller variances on other related expenses were responsible for the additional increase in this expense category.
FDIC insurance expense declined $77,000 or 37.7% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same quarter in 2010. The FDIC has changed the methodology for calculating the assessment and the new method results in a lower expense than under the former method.
Other expense increased $92,000 or 14.8% with no significant change in most expense categories. The primary increase in other noninterest expense was related to costs associated with operation of our ATM network which increased $26,000 or 38.0% in the third quarter of 2011 than in 2010. As customers utilize electronic methods more frequently, our costs associated with this delivery method have increased. Smaller variances in other expense items were responsible for the remaining differences.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
Net income increased $556,000 or 15.6% for the first three quarters of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The primary source of additional income was an increase in net interest income.
Interest income of $18,524,000 was $161,000 or .9% greater than a year earlier. Interest and fees on loans was $157,000 or 1.0% greater for the first three quarters of 2011 than the same period in 2010. The average balance of loans for 2011 increased $17,494,000 or 4.3% while the average interest yield on those assets declined .2% over the same time frame. Over 75% of our loan portfolio has a variable rate of interest and it has always been our custom to fix the rate for up to three years before floating. Some of those loans reached their repricing date in the current year, repricing to lower rates because they are tied to the prime rate of interest. While the majority of our loan interest rates previously adjusted downward, there are still a small number of loans whose interest rate will adjust lower throughout 2011. Currently, most loan originations include an interest rate floor which guarantees a minimum interest rate before meeting the rate indicator, usually the prime rate of interest.
Income on taxable investments declined $105,000 or 10.1% with the average balance $12,430,000 or 19.3% lower in 2011 than for the first nine months of 2010. The average interest rate earned on those investments increased by 25 basis points in 2011 as compared to a year earlier. As noted above, we have repositioned the investment portfolio out of lower yielding commercial paper that we had maintained as a liquidity component into loan originations. Interest earned on tax-exempt investments increased $130,000 or 16.9% for the first three quarters of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The average balance of tax-exempt investments increased $4,785,000 or 18.1% while the average interest yield of 5.8% declined 5 basis points over rates earned a year earlier.
Interest expense declined $1,866,000 or 32.1% for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. Interest rates were lower in each interest-bearing expense category with the largest component related to deposits. The average balance of deposits declined $6,874,000 or 1.7% and the average interest rate paid for these funds decreased to 1.1%, a decline of .6% in the current period over a year earlier. We discontinued offering special high rate certificates of deposit in 2010, eliminating “rate shopping” customers who did not have a true relationship with the bank and we priced our relationship products more aggressively, but with lower rates than were paid on the specials. In doing so, we lowered the cost of those funds.
The provision for loan loss was $900,000 or 81.8% greater in the first three quarters of 2011 than a year earlier. As mentioned above, our calculation of the appropriate level for the allowance for loan loss indicated the need for $780,000 in the third quarter alone. The average balance of nonaccrual loans during 2011 remained greater than in 2010, which was the primary reason for the increase in the allowance, and ultimately provision expense.
Noninterest income declined $220,000 or 7.1% for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Service charges on deposit accounts were $207,000 or 20.8% lower in the current year due to regulatory changes in the process to assess these fees along with our customers increased diligence in monitoring their checking accounts thereby utilizing overdraft protection less frequently. We realized $52,000 or 30.4% greater gains on the sale of mortgage loans in 2011 than in 2010 as mortgage activity increased in the current historically low interest rate environment. Brokerage commissions declined $84,000 or 14.5% due to operating with one less investment officer in 2011 and the aforementioned decline in annuity sales due to lower rates of return. ATM and debit card fees increased $67,000 or 17.4% due to a combination of higher usage fees and a greater number of transactions processed.
Noninterest expense increased $549,000 or 5.7% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Salaries and employee benefits increased $325,000 or 6.4% primarily associated wages paid to staff increasing by $129,000 or 3.6% in 2011. This increase is the result of annual salary adjustments and the addition of two additional full time equivalent employees in 2011. In addition, the cost of employee health insurance increased $103,000 or 18.7% over the same time frame. Employees are given an incentive program each year and in 2011 they had attained a greater percentage of the goals, resulting in an additional $59,000 or 86.5% more in the accrual for that benefit. Smaller variances in other costs relating to employee benefits were responsible for the remaining increase.
Professional fees were $69,000 or 12.1% greater in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to a combination of two issues. To begin, costs associated with delinquent loans and foreclosure actions have increased due to the persistent economic issues that borrowers are experiencing. The second source of additional expense is related to costs associated with outside compliance advice which was unmatched in 2010.
FDIC insurance expense declined $127,000 or 22.5% for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The FDIC has changed the methodology for calculating the assessment and the new method results in a lower expense than under the former method.
The category of other noninterest expense includes many smaller dollar amount expenses including advertising, bank supplies, telephone, and travel among others. This expense increased $301,000 or 16.7% for the first three quarters of 2011 versus the same period in 2010. The largest increase in these expenses was in relation to other real estate owned, which accounted for $159,000 additional expense and was 187.7% greater than 2010. When we take possession of a property, it is not uncommon to have outstanding real estate taxes that must be paid and the majority of that increase was to pay past due taxes on one property. The cost of operating our ATM network was $57,000 or 27.5% greater for the first nine months of 2011 than the same period in 2010. In 2011, our customers initiated a greater number of transactions and we incurred an increase in the item prices of operating the network. Directors’ fees increased $36,000 due to the addition of an additional director in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $2,000 each in their annual compensation for the first nine months of 2011 and the expense of $14,000 relating to stock options granted in September 2011. Pennsylvania shares tax was $34,000 or 14.6% greater in 2011 than the previous year. This tax is assessed on bank capital and increased due to increases in our capital position over the assessment period. Smaller changes in other expense accounts were responsible for the remaining increase in total other noninterest expense.
While net income before income taxes increased $358,000 or 7.4%, federal income tax expense decreased $198,000 or 15.6% as a result of our ability to utilize low income tax credits upon the completion of a project in which we made an investment. Our portion of these tax credits was $270,000 for the first nine months of 2011; we had no similar credit in 2010.
Liquidity and Cash Flows
To ensure that the Company can satisfy customer credit needs for current and future commitments and deposit withdrawal requirements, we manage the liquidity position by ensuring that there are adequate short-term funding sources available for those needs. Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits with other banks and investment securities maturing in one year or less. The following table shows these liquidity sources, minus short-term borrowings, as of September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010:
| | September 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
(in thousands) | | | | | | |
Cash and due from banks | | $ | 7,762 | | | $ | 5,831 | |
Interest-bearing deposits with other banks | | | 2,583 | | | | 4,821 | |
Investment securities maturing in one year or less, including scheduled principal reductions | | | 22,236 | | | | 18,888 | |
| | | 32,581 | | | | 29,540 | |
Less short-term borrowings | | | 24,733 | | | | 15,506 | |
Net liquidity position | | $ | 7,848 | | | $ | 14,034 | |
| | | | | | | | |
As a percent of total assets | | | 1.4 | % | | | 2.6 | % |
With liquidity of 1.4% at the end of the quarter, management acknowledges that our assets are not as liquid as they have been in the past. The table does not include additional possible sources of liquidity such as the balance of our available for sale securities that is not maturing or prepaying in one year or less of $63,627,000 which could be sold to generate additional cash. We would expect to gather additional deposits if we set the interest rate higher than the local competition and would consider this as opportunities arose for greater loan originations. In addition, the Bank has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with the maximum borrowing capacity at September 30, 2011 of $182 million with an available balance of $148 million. Other sources of liquidity are cash flows from regularly scheduled payments and prepayments of loans, sales or maturities in the investment portfolio, sales of residential mortgages in the secondary market, operating income, deposit growth and access to lines of credit with correspondent banks. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows specifically details the contribution of each source.
Management monitors liquidity on a consistent basis and feels that liquidity levels are adequate.

The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are doubts about collectability of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received.

At September 30, 2011, we continued to accrue interest on $2,439,000 of loans past due 90 days or more because all these loans are in the process of collection and are well secured. We do expect to collect all interest accrued on these loans.
There have been several variances in nonaccrual loans over the past nine months. One loan relationship with a balance of $5,552,000 was past due and in nonaccrual status at December 31, 2010 and has returned to accruing status as of September 30, 2011. At the end of the third quarter we placed four loans with a total balance of $5,774,000 that has common ownership into nonaccrual status. The remaining balances are the result of the common transition of loan balances in and out of delinquent status due to improvement or deterioration of the creditors.
Interest income of $414,000 in the first nine months of 2011 and $314,000 in the same period of 2010 would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans if they had been performing in accordance with their original terms.
Management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 is adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The relationship between the allowance for loan losses and outstanding loans is a function of the credit quality and known risk attributed to the loan portfolio. The ongoing loan review program, along with management analysis, is used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A key function of management in its role as the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is to evaluate the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk. The primary business of the Company in the financial services industry is to act as a depository financial intermediary. In this role, an integral element of risk involves the chance that prevailing interest rates will adversely affect assets, liabilities, capital, income and/or expense at different times and in different amounts. The ALCO is comprised of all senior officers of the bank and other key officers. This committee reports directly to the Board of Directors on at least a quarterly basis.
Two separate reports are used to assist in measuring interest rate risk. The first is the Statement of Interest Sensitivity Gap report. This report matches all interest-earning assets and all interest-bearing liabilities by the time frame in which funds can be reinvested or repriced. The second report is the Interest Rate Shock Analysis discussed in more detail below. In both reports, there are inherent assumptions that must be used in the evaluation. These assumptions include the maturity or repricing times of deposits, even though all deposits, other than time deposits, have no stated maturity and the reference that interest rate shifts will be parallel, with the rates of assets and liabilities shifting in the same amount in the same time frame. In reality, various assets and various liabilities will react differently to changes in interest rates, with some lagging behind the change and some anticipating the upcoming change and reacting before any actual change occurs. Each tool also suggests that there is a propensity to replace assets and liabilities with similar assets and liabilities rather than taking into consideration management’s ability to reallocate the Balance Sheet. In addition, the models used do not include any elements to determine how an action by management to increase or decrease interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits or to increase borrowings at the FHLB will affect the results of the analysis. In spite of these limitations, these analyses are still very good tools to assist in management of the Company and similar versions of these same reports are used by all financial institutions.

As this report shows, the Company was liability sensitive in the one year period at September 30, 2011 with liabilities maturing or repricing before assets in this timeframe. We expect that interest rates will increase at some point; and as that occurs, the variable interest rate loans will reprice upward. We anticipate that higher interest rate certificate of deposits will reprice to new, lower rates because we do not expect to offer any certificate of deposit special products; therefore interest margins should continue to improve.
The second report used to monitor interest rate risk is the Analysis of Sensitivity to Changes in Market Interest Rates. This tool attempts to determine the affect on income of various shifts in the interest rate environment. We have presented this analysis for three different scenarios, a change in rates of 100, 200 or 300 basis points. A shift of 200 basis points, or 2% in interest rates, is the industry standard. Given an immediate parallel upward shift of 200 basis points, net interest income would decrease by $1,145,000 or 5.31% while net income would decrease $751,000 or 10.68%. Given that scenario, the economic value of equity (EVE) would decrease by $10,257,000 or 14.08%, which is within our policy guidelines. The EVE is sometimes referred to as the present value of equity and is presented as one more statistic to monitor in managing interest rate risk. This analysis makes the shift automatic and equal for both assets and liabilities and does not take into consideration management’s ability to change the rates for deposits in a different fashion. We would not expect to make this parallel shift in deposit interest rates. Even given that this analysis does not actually assimilate the reality of our actions when rates do increase, the results of a potential shift of 100,200, or 300 basis points in either direction are within internal policy guidelines. If the results were not tolerable, our policy would determine that management should reallocate the balance sheet in order to maintain compliance with the policy.
