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 May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):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. Early application by public entities is not permitted.The Company has provided the necessary disclosure in Note 7.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):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. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted.The Company has provided the necessary disclosure in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10,Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect entities that cease to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. Under the amendments in this Update, when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance inSubtopic 360-20 to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. That is, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest underSubtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary's operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. In order to defer only those changes in Update 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments, the paragraphs in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Update 2011-05. Entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before Update 2011-05. All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities should begin applying these requirements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The Company has provided the necessary disclosure in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

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 March 31, | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
Weighted average common stock outstanding | | | 1,653,746 | | | | 1,652,318 | |
Average treasury stock | | | (54,100 | ) | | | (54,100 | ) |
Weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate basic earnings per share | | | 1,599,646 | | | | 1,598,218 | |
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share | | | 328 | | | | 2,034 | |
Weighted average common stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share | | | 1,599,974 | | | | 1,600,252 | |
Options to purchase 93,130 shares of common stock at a price greater than the current market value were outstanding at March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2011 which would have an antidilutive effect on the earnings per share calculation.

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has asserted that at March 31, 2012, the declines outlined in the above tables represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe they will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. There were 19 and 29 positions that were temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 $826 and recorded a gain of $69 in 2012 from calls or sales of securities. The Company received proceeds of $22 and booked a gain of $1 and a loss of $3 in conjunction with sale and merger activity in the first quarter of 2011.
The amortized cost and estimated market value of debt securities at March 31, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

Credit Quality Information
The following tables represent credit exposures by assigned grades as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are considered nonaccrual upon reaching 90 days delinquency, although he Company may be receiving partial payments if 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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. For 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. 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.
Net Loans and Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
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.
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.
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.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statement
The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words, "believes," "anticipates," "contemplated," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Financial Condition
Total assets of $582,946,000 at March 31, 2012 were $1,052,000 or .2% greater than balances at December 31, 2011.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $1,153,000 or 11.6%, primarily due to an increase of $1,333,000 or 29.1% in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. We maintain cash in this liquid asset class in order to fund loans and settle investment security purchases in the upcoming quarter.
Mortgage loans held for sale were $1,714,000 at March 31, 2012 with no corresponding balance at the end of 2011. We are seeing an increase in the number of residential mortgage loans granted to refinance existing mortgages. Residential mortgage interest rates are now at or near the lowest historical levels resulting in the number of applications increasing significantly during the first quarter of 2012.
Investment securities available for sale declined $8,122,000 or 8.5% from balances at December 31, 2011. Management did not reinvest $6,500,000 in commercial paper maturities during the quarter in order to fund loans. We have invested in commercial paper as they are liquid assets available to use in funding loans and earn interest at a slightly better rate than by keeping those funds in interest-bearing deposit accounts. Calls and maturities of other securities, mainly U.S. government agency bonds, combined with principal payments of mortgage-backed securities were the other events that added to the decline in the investment portfolio.
Total loans increased $7,098,000 or 1.6% during the first quarter of 2012. Commercial real estate loans increased $4,863,000 or 1.8% over balances at the end of 2011 with loans granted to a variety of commercial borrowers. We continued to accommodate the needs of customers in the children’s summer camp industry while granting loans to borrowers in a variety of other industries. The largest dollars of these loans were granted to customers in the hospitality, retail sales and multi-unit housing industries along with numerous smaller dollar credits to borrowers in other businesses. Commercial loans increased $2,893,000 or 6.4%. Loans were primarily granted to customers in the industrial construction industry who are well established within this sector and who have a long term relationship with the bank.
Other real estate owned declined by $720,000 or 20.8% with the sale of a restaurant property in the amount of $674,000 along with an adjustment of $46,000 in the market value of another restaurant property. We did not add any additional properties in the first quarter and continue to aggressively market the remaining commercial properties.
Other assets increased $545,000 or 5.0% due to a number of changes in various accounts, the largest resulting from prepayment of Pennsylvania shares tax, which had a balance of $286,000 at March 31, 2012. Deferred tax assets increased $318,000 during the quarter and we invested $178,000 in a limited partnership that will generate federal low-income housing credits. Offsetting those increases were smaller changes in several other categories of other assets.
Total deposits declined $8,519,000 or 1.8% during the first quarter of 2012. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $1,193,000 or 2.3%. Several customers who had large balances in their checking accounts at the end of 2011 drew down their balances during the first quarter of 2012. Some of those funds were transferred to repurchase accounts during the quarter. At the same time, interest-bearing deposits declined $7,326,000 or 1.7%. Certificates of deposit decreased $10,151,000 or 3.8% from year end balances due primarily to maturity of approximately $14,500,000 in municipal tax deposits, which is typical for this time of year. These customers collect tax deposits during the spring or fall of the year, typically purchasing certificates of deposit that mature in line with their cash requirements over the course of their next fiscal year. As an additional source of liquidity, the Bank participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service and utilized this relationship to generate an increase of $2,702,000 of certificates of deposit at a favorable interest rate. Other customers make use of relationship pricing, receiving preferred pricing on certificates of deposit because they maintain a checking account meeting specified requirements. Balances of savings accounts increased $1,988,000 or 4.6% and money market accounts increased $1,187,000 or 1.8% with customers utilizing these liquid types of deposit accounts.
Short term borrowings increased $7,519,000 or 36.3% during the first three months of 2012. This increase is related to larger balances of existing repurchase accounts combined with adding three new customer accounts. Customers in the children’s summer camping industry receive the majority of tuition payments in the first quarter of the year, with those balances used throughout the upcoming summer camping season.
Stockholders’ equity increased $1,028,000 or 1.9% during the first quarter of 2012. Net income of $1,569,000 was offset by dividends declared of $585,000. Recognizing the costs associated with stock grants in the fall of 2011 added $77,000 to capital surplus while a slight decline in the market value of available for sale investments resulted in a decline of $33,000 or 1.9% in that account. Regulatory capital ratios remain strong with 12.6% total risk-based capital, 11.3% Tier I capital and a Tier I leverage ratio of 9.5%. 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 March 31, 2011 and 2010
The Company reported net income of $1,569,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, representing an increase of $299,000 or 23.5% over the first quarter of 2011. Net interest income, the largest portion of income, was $5,200,000 for the first quarter of 2012, an increase of $552,000 or 11.9% greater than recorded for the same period in 2011.
Total interest income increased $309,000 or 5.1% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. Interest and fees earned on loans increased $252,000 or 4.6% in this quarter compared to a year earlier. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased by $27,803,000 or 6.8% while the average interest rate earned showed a slight decline of .16%, earning 5.08% for the first quarter of 2012. Interest rate declines on variable interest rate loans have slowed significantly as compared to previous periods. We have implemented interest rate floors on new financing and on renewal of most lines of credit. Interest earned would have been $185,000 greater in 2012 and $76,000 in 2011 if loans in nonaccrual status were performing.
Interest earned on taxable investments increased $34,000 or 11.7% in 2012 as compared to a year earlier. The average balance of these investments increased $4,402,000 or 8.5% during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period last year while the average tax equivalent interest rate earned on the portfolio in 2012 increased 5 basis points over interest earned for the first quarter of 2011. In the current low interest rate environment, we have looked to invest in multiple types of bonds in order to diversify the portfolio and attain the best return on each investment. We have added bonds that have a stated interest rate above current market rates, paying premiums on the bonds, believing that these purchases will maintain a greater market value as interest rates increase in future periods.
Interest expense declined $243,000 or 17.6% for the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. The greatest decline was for interest paid on deposits, declining $206,000 or 18.1%. Interest paid on certificates of deposit declined $187,000 even though the average balance increased $10,345,000 or 4.1%. The average rate paid for certificates of deposit declined 36 basis points in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a year earlier as higher rate certificates were replaced with current lower priced products. The average balance in all categories of deposits increased in the current period over a year earlier while the average interest rate paid on deposits declined slightly for each product. Total average interest-bearing deposits increased $21,157,000 or 5.2% in 2012 over balances for the first quarter of 2011 while the average interest rate paid was .87%, a decline of .26% from balances paid in the same period of 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 was $225,000 or 52.9% greater in the first quarter of 2012 than in the same quarter of 2011. Growth in the loan portfolio, negative changes in loan quality based on our loan rating system and stagnating economic indicators resulted in our analysis indicating higher provision expense in 2012 as compared to 2011. We continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses based on our analysis and believe that the allowance for loan losses balance is adequate.
Total noninterest income increased $63,000 or 6.6% in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same quarter of 2011. The primary drivers of this increase were in gains on sales and calls of investment securities which was $69,000 in 2012 compared to a loss of $2,000 in 2011 along with an increase of $57,000 in gains on loans held for sale. As residential mortgage interest rates decline, we are receiving a greater number of applications, mainly to refinance existing mortgages. We generally sell residential mortgages in order to manage interest rate risk, and have been successful in selling those loans at gains. Service charge on deposit accounts declined $36,000 or 13.3% from income a year earlier. We believe that our customers have increased their diligence in monitoring their checking account balances in order to avoid service charges on their accounts. Income generated from the wealth management department declined $34,000 or 18.8% with the timing of income recognition a little slower in 2012 than the previous year.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $150,000 or 8.4% in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to 2011. Wages increased $64,000 or 5.2% in 2012 compared to 2011 due to annual salary increases, bonuses awarded for promotions, and a transition in the composition of our staff that increased the number of officers who are paid at a higher level. Health insurance costs increased $23,000 or 10.5% due to an increase in the premiums and greater health reimbursement costs. Employees are given specific areas for profit improvement each year upon which incentives are based, with closer attainment of those goals for the first quarter of 2012, that accrual was $13,000 or 37.7% greater in 2012 than in the same quarter of the previous year. Costs associated with grants in September 2011 of restricted stock and stock options to officers were $38,000 in 2012. There were no similar costs in the first quarter of 2011. Small variances in other employment costs accounted for the remaining change in expense.
Professional fees decreased $145,000 or 46.8% during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. In the first quarter of 2011 we incurred greater fees related to nonperforming loans than in the current year.
Federal income taxes increased $136,000 or 43.9% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a year earlier due to both an increase of 27.5% in net income before income taxes and changes in the composition between tax exempt and taxable income.
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, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, mortgage loans held for sale and investment securities maturing in one year or less. The following table shows these liquidity sources, minus short-term borrowings, as of March 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011:

To enhance liquidity, the Bank has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with the maximum borrowing capacity at March 31, 2012 of $188 million with an available balance of $157 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. We are not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that will have or is reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations; nor are we aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which if implemented, would have such an effect.
Risk Elements
The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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.

Interest income of $185,000 in the first quarter of 2012 and $76,000 in the same period of 2011 would have been recognized on nonaccrual loans if they had been performing in accordance with their original terms. The Company did not recognize any interest income on loans in nonaccrual status during 2012 but did recognize $78,000 of interest income in the first quarter of 2011.
Management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2012 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 on-going 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 March 31, 2012with many of the higher costing liabilities maturing or repricing before assets in this timeframe. Those liabilities should continue to reprice at lower rates. Customers are using our one year certificate of deposit account more often than any other type deposit account, be believe that they want flexibility when interest rates increase and will extend the time when that happens. When interest rates increase in the future, our variable interest rate loans will reprice upward.
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 effect on income of various shifts in the interest rate environment. We have presented this analysis for six different scenarios, a change in rates of plus and minus 100, 200 or 300 basis points in order to offer a more in-depth analysis. This report indicates that our greatest risk would if interest rates increase immediately by 300 basis points. Given that scenario, net interest income would decline $1,138,000 or 5.07% while net income would decline $722,000 or 10.85%. The largest change would be in the economic value of equity, or the present value of equity, which shows a decline of $13,162,000 or 18.82%. All of the results of changes in market interest rates are within our 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.
