Results of Operations

Year-to-Date Summary

At June 30, 2012, total assets were $1.057 billion, an increase of $67.3 million from December 31, 2011. Net loans increased to $758.7 million and total deposits increased to $856.6 million. The Corporation reported net income for the first six months of 2012 of $3.3 million. This is a 9.2% decrease versus net income of $3.6 million for the same period in 2011. Total revenue (interest income and noninterest income) decreased $733 thousand year-over-year. Interest income decreased $841 thousand, but was more than offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in interest expense, resulting in a $195 thousand increase in net interest income. Noninterest income improved 2.2% due to an increase in ATM fees and debit card income. Noninterest expense remained relatively flat year over year. The provision for loan losses was $2.8 million for the period, $108 thousand more than in 2011. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $.81 in 2012 from $.92 in 2011.

Key performance ratios as of, or for the six months ended June 30, 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:

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the three months ended June 30, 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 second quarter of 2012 decreased $753 thousand quarter-over-quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased $47.9 million from 2011, but the yield on these assets decreased by 54 basis points to 4.25%. The average balance of investment securities decreased $1.8 million while average loans decreased $25 thousand quarter-over-quarter. Average commercial loans increased $15.6 million, but the increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of mortgage and consumer loans. Average mortgage loans decreased $5.6 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 $10.0 million, as consumers continue to borrow less.

Interest expense was $1.8 million for the second quarter, a decrease of $597 thousand from the 2011 total of $2.4 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $43.6 million to $841.2 million for 2012 from an average balance of $797.6 million in 2011. The average cost of these liabilities decreased from 1.21% in 2011 to .86% in 2012. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $67.5 million, due to increases in interest checking and savings accounts ($12.6 million), and money management deposits ($63.5 million). The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased from 1.04% to .70%. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repos) decreased $11.9 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 $12.0 million due to scheduled amortization and maturities.

The changes in the balance sheet and interest rates resulted in a decrease in tax equivalent net interest income of $156 thousand to $8.6 million in 2012 from $8.7 million in 2011. The Bank's net interest margin decreased from 3.76% in 2011 to 3.51% in 2012. The decrease in the net interest margin is the result of a decrease in the rate on interest-earning assets of 54 basis points, while the yield on interest-bearing liabilities only decreased 35 basis points. Net interest income increased $106 thousand during the quarter, with $77 thousand of the increase from volume and $29 thousand from rates.

With interest rates forecast to remain at current levels through at least 2014, the Bank does not expect any increase in the yield for several years. As a result, it is likely that the cost of interest-bearing deposits will continue to be reduced in an effort to maintain the net interest margin.

The following table shows a comparative analysis of average balances, asset yields and funding costs for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These components drive changes in net interest income.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the second quarter of 2012, the provision expense was $825 thousand versus $1.8 million in 2011. For more information refer to the Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses discussion in the Financial Condition section.

Noninterest Income

For the second quarter of 2012, noninterest income increased $67 thousand from the same period in 2011. Investment and trust service fees were unchanged, while loan service charges increased $38 thousand due to the volume of mortgage refinancing. Mortgage banking fees increased $18 thousand, as the 2012 impairment charge was $27 thousand less than the prior year's impairment charge. Deposit service charges decreased $118 thousand due to lower retail overdraft fees and less retail checking service charge fees. Other service charges and fees increased $89 thousand primarily due to an increase in ATM fees, while debit card income increased $35 thousand due to increased volume. Other income decreased due to several nonrecurring items. Securities gains of $21 thousand were recorded during 2012 from bonds called prior to maturity, compared to none during the three months ended June 30, 2011. There were no other than temporary impairment charges recorded in 2012, compared to $55 thousand on two bonds in 2011.

The following table presents a comparison of noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.6 million compared to $7.4 million in 2011. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to annual salary adjustments ($230 thousand) and pension expense ($101 thousand), but these increases were partially offset by a $28 thousand decrease in health insurance expense, due to lower claims expense during the quarter from the Bank's participation in a self-insured health insurance plan. Occupancy expense remained flat quarter-over-quarter, while advertising expense increased $45 thousand, due to a marketing campaign to take advantage of the disruptions in our local market from mergers and institutions with regulatory issues. Legal and professional expenses increased $16 thousand due to expenses from matters arising in the ordinary course of business, while data processing fees decreased $47 thousand from cost savings due to the core system conversion. Other expenses decreased $148 thousand due to a prepayment penalty of $172 thousand on an FHLB term loan in the second quarter of 2011.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter of 2012 the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax expense of $356 thousand compared to a tax benefit of $447 thousand for the same quarter in 2011. For the second quarter of 2011, the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax benefit of $447 thousand. During the second quarter of 2011, an internal review discovered that tax-exempt commercial loans booked in the fourth quarter of 2008, during 2009 and 2010 and in the first quarter of 2011 were not properly coded as tax-exempt in the Bank's core processing system. This resulted in the income from these loans being recorded as taxable income and the benefit of the tax-exempt status was not reflected in the Corporation's income tax calculation. After a thorough review of the affected loans to determine the unrecorded tax benefit, and consultation with the Corporation's internal and external audit firms, the Corporation deemed the adjustment to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the current and prior year and therefore, no prior period adjustment was required. The Corporation recorded the past income tax benefits during the second quarter of 2011. The adjustment to income tax expense for the second quarter was a credit of approximately $660 thousand attributable to the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 and approximately $95 thousand attributable to the first quarter of 2011. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 15.7% compared to a tax-credit in the second quarter of 2011. Without the adjustments for past periods, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 would have been 16.2%. All taxable income for the Corporation is taxed at a rate of 34%.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2012 to the six months ended June 30, 2011:

Net Interest Income

Tax equivalent interest income for the first half of 2012 decreased by $936 thousand compared to 2011. Average interest-earning assets increased $47.3 million from 2011, but the yield on these assets decreased by 46 basis points. The average balance of investment securities was flat year over year. Total average loans increased $2.3 million year over year. Average commercial loans increased $20.2 million, but the increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of mortgage and consumer loans. Average mortgage loans decreased $7.4 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 $10.5 million, as consumers continue to borrow less.

Interest expense was $3.8 million for the first half of 2012, a decrease of $1.0 million from $4.8 million in 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $41.7 million to $824.0 million for 2012 from an average balance of $782.4 million in 2011. The average cost of these liabilities decreased from 1.24% in 2011 to 0.92% in 2012. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $64.9 million, due to increases in interest checking and savings accounts ($12.8 million) and money management deposits ($56.0 million), but these increases were partially offset by decreases in certificates of deposit ($3.9 million). The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased from 1.05% to .76%. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase have decreased $6.8 million on average over the prior year and the average rate has decreased to .15% from .25% a year earlier. The average balance of long-term debt decreased by $16.1 million due to scheduled amortization and maturities.

The changes in the balance sheet and interest rates resulted in an increase in tax equivalent net interest income of $99 thousand to $16.9 million in 2012 compared to $16.8 million in 2011. The Bank's net interest margin decreased to 3.54% in 2012 from 3.72% in 2011. The decrease in the net interest margin is the result of a decrease in the rate on interest-earning assets of 46 basis points, while the yield on interest-bearing liabilities only decreased 32 basis points. Net interest income increased $195 thousand during the year, with a $296 thousand increase from volume, which was offset by $101 thousand decrease from rates.

With interest rates forecast to remain at current levels through at least 2014, the Bank does not expect any increase in the yield for several years. As a result, it is likely that the cost of interest-bearing deposits will continue to be reduced in an effort to maintain the net interest margin.

The following table shows a comparative analysis of average balances, asset yields and funding costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These components drive changes in net interest income.
