Results of Operations

Year-to-Date Summary

At March 31, 2012, total assets were $1.036 billion, an increase of $45.7 million from December 31, 2011. Net loans decreased to $754.1 million and total deposits increased to $835.5 million. The Corporation reported net income for the first three months of 2012 of $1.4 million. This is a 26.0% decrease versus net income of $1.8 million for the same period in 2011. Total revenue (interest income and noninterest income) decreased $308 thousand year-over-year. Interest income decreased $349 thousand, but was more than offset by a decrease of $438 thousand in interest expense, resulting in a 1.1% increase in net interest income. Noninterest income improved 1.6% due to an increase in ATM fees and other nonrecurring income. Noninterest expense remained relatively flat year over year. The provision for loan losses was $1.9 million for the period, $1.0 million more than in 2011. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $.34 in 2012 from $.47 in 2011.

Key performance ratios as of, or for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are listed below:

GAAP versus Non-GAAP Presentations. The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with Non-GAAP measurements. The Non-GAAP measurements include Return on Average Tangible Assets and Return on Average Tangible Equity. As a result of merger transactions, intangible assets (primarily goodwill and core deposit intangibles) were created. The Non-GAAP disclosures are intended to eliminate the effects of the intangible assets and allow for better comparisons to periods when such assets did not exist. The following table shows the adjustments made between the GAAP and NON-GAAP measurements:

A more detailed discussion of the operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 follows:

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2011:

Net Interest Income

The most important source of the Corporation's earnings is net interest income, which is defined as the difference between income on interest-earning assets and the expense of interest-bearing liabilities supporting those assets. Principal categories of interest-earning assets are loans and securities, while deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repos), short-term borrowings and long-term debt are the principal categories of interest-bearing liabilities. Demand deposits enhance net interest income because they are noninterest-bearing deposits. For the purpose of this discussion, balance sheet items refer to the average balance for the period and net interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis. This tax-equivalent adjustment facilitates performance comparisons between taxable and tax-free assets by increasing the tax-free income by an amount equivalent to the Federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the Corporation's 34% Federal statutory rate.

Tax equivalent interest income for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $222 thousand quarter over quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased $46.9 million from 2011, but the yield on these assets decreased by 39 basis points. The average balance of investment securities increased $1.5 million while average loans increased $4.6 million (.6%) quarter over quarter. Average commercial loans increased $24.9 million, but the increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of mortgage and consumer loans. Average mortgage loans decreased $9.2 million, as the majority of new mortgage originations are sold in the secondary market and the portfolio continues to runoff. Average consumer loans, including home equity loans, decreased $11.1 million, as consumers continue to borrow less.

Interest expense was $2.0 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $438 thousand from the 2011 total of $2.4 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $39.9 million to $806.8 million for 2012 from an average balance of $766.9 million in 2011. The average cost of these liabilities decreased from 1.27% in 2011 to .98% in 2012. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $62.5 million, due to increases in interest checking and savings accounts ($13.0 million), and money management deposits ($48.6 million). The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased from 1.05% to .83%. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repos) decreased $1.6 million on average over the prior year quarter while the average rate decreased from .25% in 2011 to .15% in 2012. The average balance of long-term debt decreased by $20.2 million due to scheduled amortization and maturities, as well as prepayments of $15.6 million on three Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) advances in 2011.

The changes in the balance sheet and interest rates resulted in an increase in tax equivalent net interest income of $216 thousand to $8.4 million in 2012 compared to $8.1 million in 2011. The Bank's net interest margin decreased from 3.71% in 2011 to 3.57% in 2012. The decrease in the net interest margin is the result of a decrease in the rate on interest-earning assets of 39 basis points, while the yield on interest-bearing liabilities only decreased 29 basis points. Net interest income increased $89 thousand during the quarter, with a $218 thousand increase from volume, which was offset by $129 thousand decrease from rates.

The following table shows a comparative analysis of average balances, asset yields and funding costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These components drive changes in net interest income.

All nontaxable interest income has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis, using a tax rate of 34%.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the first quarter of 2012, the provision expense was $1.9 million versus $900 thousand in 2011. The provision expense includes approximately $1.1 million needed to restore the ALL after charging off $1.6 million on one nonperforming commercial real estate loan. For more information refer to the Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses discussion in the Financial Condition section.

Noninterest Income

For the first quarter of 2012, noninterest income increased $41 thousand from the same period in 2011. Investment and trust service fees increased $35 thousand due to higher recurring asset management fees. Loan service charges decreased $209 thousand as 2011 contained a $243 thousand prepayment penalty. Mortgage banking fees increased $37 thousand, as the 2012 reversal of previously recorded impairment charges was $48 thousand more than the prior year. Deposit service charges decreased $62 thousand due to lower retail overdraft fees and less retail checking service charge fees. Other service charges and fees increased $108 thousand primarily due to an increase in ATM fees, while debit card income increased $40 thousand. Other income increased $101 thousand primarily due to a gain on the sale of a property held in other real estate owned and an insurance recovery on a prior period loss. No securities gains were recorded during 2012, compared to $11 thousand during 2011 on the sale of equity securities. There were no other than temporary impairment charges recorded during either period.

The following table presents a comparison of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 totaled $7.0 million. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to annual salary adjustments ($270 thousand) and pension expense ($82 thousand), but these increases were partially offset by a $249 thousand decrease in health insurance expense, due lower claims expense during the quarter from the Bank's participation in a self-insured health insurance plan. Occupancy, advertising, legal and professional, data processing fees and shares tax expense remained relatively flat year over year. FDIC insurance decreased $50 thousand, as the FDIC assessment decreased due to a new calculation method implemented by the FDIC in 2011, while other expenses decreased $102 thousand due to a prepayment penalty of $172 thousand on an FHLB term loan in the first quarter of 2011.

The following table presents a comparison of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Income taxes

For the first quarter of 2012 the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax expense of $218 thousand compared to $646 thousand for the same quarter in 2011. Pre-tax income declined due primarily to a higher provision for loan loss expense and consequently, a higher ratio of tax free income resulted in less tax expense. The effective tax rate decreased year over year to 13.7% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 25.9% for 2011. All taxable income for the Corporation is taxed at a rate of 34%.

Financial Condition

Summary:

At March 31, 2012, assets totaled $1.036 million, an increase of $45.7 million from the 2011 year-end balance of $990.2 million. Investment securities decreased $3.6 million, while net loans decreased $2.6 million. Deposits were up $47.5 million in 2012 due primarily to increases in noninterest-bearing and money management deposits. Shareholders' equity increased $1.1 million during the first three months as retained earnings increased approximately $279 thousand, other comprehensive loss improved $312 thousand and the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) added an additional $489 thousand in new capital.

Investment Securities:

The investment portfolio totaled $121.7 million at March 31, down 2.9% from the prior year-end balance of $125.3 million. The composition of the portfolio has not changed significantly during the year with a significant portion of the portfolio (42%) being held in U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. Only $6.5 million was reinvested in the portfolio during the quarter with the purchases consisting primarily of U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities (both tax-free and taxable). The investment portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $1.7 million at the end of the quarter, an improvement of $262 thousand over year-end 2011. The municipal bond sector shows the largest unrealized gain, while the trust-preferred sector has the largest unrealized loss. The portfolio averaged $126.9 million for the quarter with a yield of 3.12% compared to an average of $125.7 million and a yield of 3.64% for the first quarter of 2011. The Bank expects the yield on the portfolio to continue to decline as higher yielding bonds pay-down or mature and reinvestment yields remain low.

The equity portfolio is comprised of bank stocks and the Bank and the Corporation each maintain separate equity investment portfolios. The municipal bond portfolio is well diversified geographically (issuers from within 25 states) and is comprised primarily of general obligation bonds (72%). Most municipal bonds have credit enhancements in the form of private bond insurance or other credit support. The largest municipal bond exposure is to nineteen issuers in the state of Texas with a fair value of $8.3 million and ten issuers in the state of Pennsylvania with a fair value of $6.5 million. The municipal bond portfolio contains a fair value of $43.0 million of bonds rated A or higher and a fair value of $2.1 million of bonds that are not rated by a nationally recognized rating agency. No municipal bonds are rated below investment grade. Included in the municipal portfolio are four taxable municipal bonds with a value of $5.4 million.

The Bank has corporate bonds with a fair value $2.5 million spread between three issuers representing financial services companies. These bonds are fixed and floating rate bonds with ratings ranging from A1 to B1. The trust preferred investments are comprised of seven single issuer trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $5.9 million and a fair value of $4.6 million. The majority of the mortgage-backed security portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government Agency products. However, the Bank has seven private-label mortgage backed securities (PLMBS) with an amortized cost of $3.1 million and a fair value of $2.8 million.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities available for sale as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are:
