Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
Certain statements in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of us may include "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Such forward looking statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to:
• Our business and financial results are affected by business and economic conditions, both generally and specifically in the Northcentral Pennsylvania market in which we operate. In particular, our business and financial results may be impacted by:

• Changes in interest rates and valuations in the debt, equity and other financial markets.

• Disruptions in the liquidity and other functioning of financial markets, including such disruptions in the market for real estate and other assets commonly securing financial products.

• Actions by the Federal Reserve Board and other government agencies, including those that impact money supply and market interest rates.

• Changes in our customers' and suppliers' performance in general and their creditworthiness in particular.

• Changes in customer preferences and behavior, whether as a result of changing business and economic conditions or other factors.

• Changes resulting from the newly enacted Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

• A continuation of recent turbulence in significant segments of the United States and global financial markets, particularly if it worsens, could impact our performance, both directly by affecting our revenues and the value of our assets and liabilities and indirectly by affecting our customers and suppliers and the economy generally.

• Our business and financial performance could be impacted as the financial industry restructures in the current environment by changes in the competitive landscape.

• Given current economic and financial market conditions, our forward-looking financial statements are subject to the risk that these conditions will be substantially different than we are currently expecting. These statements are based on our current expectations that interest rates will remain low through 2009 with continued wide market credit spreads and our view that national economic trends currently point to a continuation of severe recessionary conditions through 2009 followed by a subdued recovery.

• Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to operate our business or our financial condition or results of operations or our competitive position or reputation. Reputational impacts, in turn, could affect matters such as business generation and retention, our ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and funding. These legal and regulatory developments could include: (a) the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory and other governmental inquiries; (b) increased litigation risk from recent regulatory and other governmental developments; (c) the results of the regulatory examination process, and regulators' future use of supervisory and enforcement tools;
(d) legislative and regulatory reforms, including changes to laws and regulations involving tax, pension, education and mortgage lending, the protection of confidential customer information, and other aspects of the financial institution industry; and (e) changes in accounting policies and principles.


• Our business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through the effective use of third-party insurance and capital management techniques.

• Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can have an impact on our ability to respond to customer needs and to meet competitive demands.

• Our ability to implement our business initiatives and strategies could affect our financial performance over the next several years.

• Competition can have an impact on customer acquisition, growth and retention, as well as on our credit spreads and product pricing, which can affect market share, deposits and revenues.

• Our business and operating results can also be affected by widespread natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities, either as a result of the impact on the economy and capital and other financial markets generally or on us or on our customers and suppliers.

The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "project" and similar expressions signify forward looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of us. Any such statement speaks only as of the date the statement was made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the detailed information and consolidated financial statements, including notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are essentially those of our subsidiary, the Bank. Therefore, the analysis that follows is directed to the performance of the Bank.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
2009 vs. 2008
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased $5.7 million to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Reported tax-equivalent interest income increased $7.5 million to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase primarily resulted from the acquisition of Columbia Financial Corporation ("CFC") as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The acquisition of CFC contributed to an increase in net loans in the amount of $160.7 million, an increase in investment securities in the amount of $138.3 million, an increase in federal funds sold in the amount of $517,000, and an increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $129,000. Reported interest expense increased $1.8 million or 66.5 percent to $4.5 million. The acquisition of CFC contributed an increase in deposits in the amount of $264.7 million, an increase in other borrowings of $31.9 million, and an increase of $4.6 million in junior subordinate debentures.
Net interest margin increased to 3.84 percent at June 30, 2009 from 3.79 percent at June 30, 2008. The increase in margin resulted primarily from the yield on interest-bearing deposits decreasing 65 basis points to 2.01 percent at June 30, 2009 while the yield on total borrowings decreased 159 basis points to 1.81 percent at June 30, 2009. A decrease of 180 basis points on the short-term borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was the primary reason for the yield decrease in the total borrowings as the long-term borrowing yield decreased 11 basis point over the same period. The short-term borrowing had an average balance of $43.7 million and $28.6 million as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The yield decreases were driven by the rate decreases enacted throughout 2008 by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) as well as local market competition. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 59 basis points to 5.55 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The yield on total loans decreased 71 basis points to 6.18 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The following Average Balance Sheet and Rate Analysis table presents the average assets, actual income or expense and the average yield on assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
2009 vs. 2008
The provision for loan losses is based upon management's quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess the general conditions in the markets served. Management remains committed to an aggressive and thorough program of problem loan identification and resolution. Periodically, an independent loan review is performed for the Bank. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly and is calculated by applying historic loss factors to the various outstanding loans types while excluding loans for which a specific allowance has already been determined. Loss factors are based on management's consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, historical loan loss experience, industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans, and its core knowledge and experience with specific loan segments.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2009, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local economy or employment and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in interest income. Also, as part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank's loan loss allowance. The bank regulators could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
The provision for loan losses amounted to $220,000 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Management concluded the increase of the provision was appropriate considering the gross loan growth experience of $8,101,000, increases in nonperforming assets, and the general downturn in the national economy. Utilizing the resources noted above, management concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

2009 vs. 2008
Total non-interest expense increased $4.7 million or 138.5% from $3.4 million in 2008 to $8.1 million in 2009.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Our consolidated assets at June 30, 2009 were $570.3 million which represented an increase of $2.0 million from $568.3 million at December 31, 2008.
Loans increased 2.5 percent from $320.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $328.2 million at June 30, 2009.
The loan-to-deposit ratio is a key measurement of liquidity. Our loan-to-deposit ratio increased during 2009 to 74.3 percent compared to 73.7 percent at December 31, 2008.
INVESTMENTS
All of our securities are available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value. Available-for-sale securities are reported on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with an offsetting adjustment to deferred taxes. The possibility of material price volatility in a changing interest rate environment is offset by the availability to the bank of restructuring the portfolio for gap positioning at any time through the securities classified as available-for-sale. The impact of the fair value accounting was an unrealized gain, net of tax, on June 30, 2009 of $1,715,000 compared to an unrealized gain, net of tax, on December 31, 2008 of $1,622,000, which represents an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $93,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The following table shows the amortized cost and estimated fair value of the investment securities as of the dates shown:
