PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS.

General

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and section 225.15 of Regulation Y. The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which reorganization was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

The Bank was originally incorporated as a Pennsylvania bank on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. It was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s primary market area.

The Company is currently in the process of forming a subsidiary named Embassy Holding LLC, for the purpose of holding “Other Real Estate Owned,” which may be acquired in the normal course of business related to the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Mission

The Company provides a traditional range of financial products and services to meet the depository and credit needs of individual consumers, small and medium sized businesses and professionals in its market area. As a locally owned and operated community bank, there is a strong focus on service that is highly personalized, efficient and responsive to local needs. It is the intention of the Company to deliver its products and services with the care and professionalism expected of a community bank and with a special dedication to personalized service. To create this environment, the Company employs a well-trained, highly motivated staff, all with previous banking experience, and interested in building quality client relationships using state-of-the-art delivery systems and client service facilities. The Company’s senior management has extensive banking experience. The Company’s goal is to serve the financial needs of its clients and provide a profitable return to its investors, consistent with safe and sound banking practices.

The Company focuses on establishing and retaining customer relationships by offering a broad range of financial services, competitively-priced and delivered in a responsive manner. Correspondent relationships are utilized where it is cost beneficial. The specific objectives of the Company are: 1) to provide individuals, professionals and local businesses with the highest standard of relationship banking in the local market; 2) to attract deposits and loans by offering state of the art products and services with competitive pricing; 3) to provide a reasonable return to shareholders on capital invested; and 4) to attract, train and retain a happy, motivated and team oriented group of banking professionals dedicated to meeting the Company’s objectives.

Market “Niche”

The Company provides the traditional array of commercial banking products and services emphasizing one-on-one delivery to consumers and businesses located in Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania. In the Company’s primary market area, which is dominated by offices of large statewide, regional and interstate banking institutions, banking services that are furnished in a friendly and courteous manner with a timely response to customer needs fill a “niche” that arises due to the loss of local institutions through merger and acquisitions.

Table of Contents

Deposits

The Company offers the latest in small business cash management services to help local companies better manage their cash flow, in order for the Company to attract and retain stable deposit relationships. The expertise and experience of the Company’s management coupled with the latest technology accessed through third party providers enables the Company to maximize the growth of business-related deposits.

As for consumers, deposit growth is driven by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, population growth, bank and non-bank competition, increase in household income, interest rates, accessibility of location and the sales efforts of Company personnel. Time deposits can be attracted and/or increased by paying an interest rate higher than that offered by competitors, but they are the most costly type of deposit. The most profitable type of deposits are non-interest bearing demand (checking) accounts which can be attracted by offering free checking. However, both high interest rates and free checking accounts generate certain expenses for a bank and the desire to increase deposits must be balanced with the need to be profitable. The deposit services of the Company are generally comprised of demand deposits, savings deposits, money market deposits, time deposits and Individual Retirement Accounts.

Loans

The loan portfolio of the Company consists primarily of fixed-rate and variable-rate loans, with a significant concentration in commercial-purpose transactions and consumer home equity loans. While most credit facilities are appropriately collateralized, major emphasis is placed upon the financial condition of the borrower and evaluating the borrower’s cash flow versus debt service requirements. The Company has an experienced lending team. The familiarity of the Company’s experienced management team and members of the Company’s Loan Committee with prospective local borrowers enables the Company to better evaluate the character, integrity and creditworthiness of the prospective borrowers.

Loan growth is driven by customer demand, which in turn is influenced by individual and business indebtedness and consumer demand for goods. The Company’s loan officers call upon accountants, financial planners, attorneys and others to generate loan applications. A performing loan is a loan which is being repaid according to its original terms and is the most desirable type of loan that a bank seeks to make. Again, a balancing act is required for the Company inasmuch as loaning money will always entail some risk. Without loaning money, however, a bank cannot generate enough earnings to be profitable. The risk involved in each loan must, therefore, be carefully evaluated before the loan is made. The interest rate at which the loan is made should always reflect the risk factors involved, including the term of the loan, the value of collateral, if any, the reliability of the projected source of repayment and the amount of the loan requested. Credit quality will always be the Company’s most important factor.

The Company has not been involved in any “sub-prime” mortgage lending and has not purchased or invested in any securities backed by or which include sub-prime loans.

Small Business Loans

The Company is generally targeting businesses with annual revenues of less than $20 million. These customers tend to be ignored by the larger institutions and have felt the most negative effects of the recent bank consolidations. The Company offers responsiveness, flexibility and local decision making for loan applications of small business owners thereby eliminating delays caused by non-local management. The Company participates in programs offered through Local, State and Federal programs and may participate in Small Business Administration (SBA) programs.

Consumer Lending

The Company offers its retail customer base a product line of consumer loan services including secured and unsecured personal loans, home equity loans, lines of credit and auto loans.

Table of Contents

Residential Mortgage Loans

The Company offers a range of specialty home equity mortgage products at competitive rates. The Company seeks to capitalize on its policy of closing loans in a time frame that will meet the needs of its borrowers.

Commercial Mortgage/Construction Loans

The Company originates various types of loans secured by real estate, including, to a limited extent, construction loans. The Company’s loan officers call upon accountants, financial planners, attorneys and others to generate loan applications. The loan officers endeavor to work closely with real estate developers, individual builders and attorneys to offer construction loan services to the residential real estate market as well as to owners of owner-occupied commercial and investment properties. Construction loans are priced at floating rates geared to current market rates. Upon completion of construction, these loans may be converted into permanent commercial and residential loans. Construction lending is expected to constitute a minor portion of the Company’s loan portfolio.

In some cases, the Company originates loans larger than its lending limit and enters into participation arrangements for those loans with other banks.

As an independent community bank, the Company serves the special needs of legal, medical, accounting, financial service providers and other professionals. Lines of credit, term loans and demand loans are tailored to meet the needs of the Company’s customers in the professional community. In addition to the usual criteria for pricing credit-related products, the Company takes into consideration the overall customer relationship to establish credit pricing. Deposit relationships in demand, savings, money market, and certificate accounts are considered in loan pricing along with the credit worthiness of the borrower.

Other Services

To further attract and retain customer relationships, the Company provides or will provide the standard array of financial services expected of a community bank, which include the following:

Treasurer Checks	Payroll Tax Deposits
Certified Checks	Safe Deposit Boxes
Gift Checks	Night Depository
Wire Transfers	Bond Coupon Redemptions
Savings Bonds Sales & Redemptions	Bank by Mail
Credit/Debit Card, Merchant Processing	Automated Teller Machine
Direct Deposit/ACH	On-Line Banking and Bill Pay
Cash Management Services	Commercial Credit Cards
Escrow Management Services

Fee Income

Fee income is non-interest related. The Company earns fee income by charging customers for banking services, credit card and merchant processing, treasurer’s checks, overdrafts, wire transfers, bond coupon redemptions, check orders as well as other deposit and loan related fees.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) is designed to create a system for bank regulatory agencies to evaluate a depository institution’s record in meeting the credit needs of its community. The Company had its last CRA compliance examination in 2009 and received a “satisfactory” rating.

Table of Contents

The Company’s Directors and Officers are committed to reaching out to the community in which they live and work. The personal, business and community rewards for helping local residents and businesses are numerous. The Board is dedicated to recognizing an ongoing commitment and understanding of the Company’s responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act. The Company is committed to providing access to credit and deposit products for all members of the communities that it serves.

Service Area

The Company draws its primary deposits and business from areas immediately surrounding its principal office in Hanover Township, Pennsylvania and its branch offices in South Whitehall Township, Lower Macungie Township and the City of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as well as the remainder of Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.

Bank Premises

The Company leases 7,747 square feet of space on the ground floor of a commercial office building located at 100 Gateway Drive, Hanover Township, Pennsylvania. This location is on Route 512, approximately one block North of Route 22, adjacent to the existing Best Western/Hampton Inn Complex. The Company has improved the interior of the leased premises for its use including the construction of a vault, teller cabinets, drive-in window unit, an automated teller machine, night depository, executive offices, lobby, exterior signing and the like. The initial term of the lease is for ten (10) years at a monthly base rent of $13,045.00 for the initial three (3) years and increasing by 3% each year thereafter. The Company has an option to renew this lease for five additional five-year (5) periods.

In November 2002, an investment group comprised of certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its executive officers agreed to purchase the office building in which the Company’s offices are located. The former owner of the building is unrelated to the Company or any of the members of the investment group. The building was purchased subject to all outstanding leases, including the Company’s lease described above. The lease terms for the Company’s lease were negotiated at arm’s length with the former owner in 2001.

In April, 2004, the Company occupied a new branch office on Tilghman Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania, which constituted its second location. This office occupies approximately 3,584 square feet of space at a beginning base monthly rent of $6,421.33 per month or $21.50 per square foot per year. This branch office includes a vault, teller cabinets, drive-in window, loan offices and all other fixtures and improvements necessary for branch operations.

In July 2005, the Company entered into a ground lease agreement for a branch location on S. Cedar Crest Boulevard in Allentown. The ground lease commenced in 2007. In March 2009, the Company committed to a lease agreement which terminates the ground lease agreement. This office occupies approximately 2,400 square feet of space at a beginning base rent of $15,334.00 per month or $76.67 per square foot. The branch opened in July 2009.

In October 2005, the Company entered into a lease for a branch office on Hamilton Boulevard in Trexlertown. This office occupies approximately 4,000 square feet of space at a beginning base rent of $8,333.33 per month or $25.00 per square foot per year. The lease commenced in January 2007 and the branch opened in April 2007.

In March 2006, the Company entered into a lease for a branch office on West Broad St. in Bethlehem, a property owned and to be leased from a director of the Company. The Company leases approximately 2,918 square feet of space at a beginning base rent of $3,750.00 per month or $15.42 per square foot per year. The Company believes the lease terms are comparable to those which would be entered into with an unrelated party. The lease commenced and the branch opened in September 2006.

In June 2008, the Company entered into a lease for a branch location on Route 378 in Lower Saucon Township. This office occupies approximately 2,500 square feet of space at a beginning base rent of $13,575.00 per month or $65.16 per square foot. The lease commenced August 2009 and the branch opened in September 2009.

Table of Contents

In December 2008, the Company entered into a ground lease agreement for a branch location on Corriere Road and Route 248 in Lower Nazareth Township. In October 2009, the Company committed to a lease agreement which terminates the ground lease agreement. The office occupies approximately 2,500 square feet of space at a beginning base rent of $13,785.00 or $66.17 per square foot. The lease commenced March 2010 and the branch is expected to open in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company pays certain additional expenses of occupying these spaces including, but not necessarily limited to, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and repairs. The Company is obligated under the leases to maintain the premises in good order, condition and repair.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a total of 59 employees of which 53 were full-time employees.

Competition

The banking business is highly competitive. The Company competes with local banks as well as numerous regionally based commercial banks, most of which have assets, capital and lending limits larger than those of the Company. The Company competes with savings banks, savings and loan associations, money market funds, insurance companies, stock brokerage firms, regulated small loan companies, credit unions and with the issuers of commercial paper and other securities. The industry competes primarily in the area of interest rates, products offered, customer service and convenience.

Among the advantages many of the Company’s competitors have over the Company are larger asset and capital bases, the ability to finance wide-ranging advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment assets to regions of highest yield and demand. Larger companies have market presence in the form of more branch offices. The Company’s growth in number of offices has improved its ability to compete in the market. The Company believes it is able to compete with the market in terms of interest rate and level of customer service, as reflected in growth in market share. Many competitors offer certain services such as trust services and international banking that will not be offered directly by the Company and, by virtue of their greater capital, most competitors will have substantially higher lending limits than those of the Company.

Segments

The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider; and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers. The Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and home equity loans; and the providing of other financial services.

Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between commercial and retail operations of the Company. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.

Seasonality

Management does not feel that the deposits, loans, or the business of the Company are seasonal in nature. Deposit and loan generation may, however, vary with local and national economic and market conditions but should not have a material effect on planning and policy making.

Supervision and Regulation

We are subject to extensive regulation under federal and Pennsylvania banking laws, regulations and policies, including prescribed standards relating to capital, earnings, dividends, the repurchase or redemption of shares, loans or extensions of credit to affiliates and insiders, internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, asset growth, impaired assets and loan-to-value ratios. The bank regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking systems as a whole, and not for the protection of security holders.

The following summary sets forth certain of the material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies their subsidiaries and provides certain specific information about us and our subsidiaries. It does not describe all of the provisions of the statutes, regulations and policies that are identified. To the extent that the following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by express reference to each of the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on the business of the Company.

Bank Holding Company Regulation

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation and examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Board. We are required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The BHC Act requires each bank holding company to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank, or before it may acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting shares of such bank. Such a transaction may also require approval of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. Pennsylvania law permits Pennsylvania bank holding companies to control an unlimited number of banks.

Pursuant to provisions of the BHC Act and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board thereunder, the Company may only engage in or own companies that engage in activities deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto, and the holding company must obtain permission from the Federal Reserve Board prior to engaging in most new business activities.

A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the BHC Act on any extensions of credit to the bank or any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prevented from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve Board’s policy that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board regulations or both. This doctrine is commonly known as the “source of strength” doctrine.

Table of Contents

The Federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Currently, the required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common shareholders’ equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. The remainder (Tier 2 capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the federal banking regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%.

The Company currently meets the eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement. Accordingly, the Company is currently exempt from regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

Regulation of Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley

Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley is a Pennsylvania-chartered banking institution and is subject to regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, among other things, the scope of a bank’s business, the investments a bank may make, the reserves against deposits a bank must maintain, the loans a bank makes and collateral it takes, the maximum interest rates a bank may pay on deposits, the activities of a bank with respect to mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches, and management practices and other aspects of banking operations.

Dividend Restrictions

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Declaration and payment of cash dividends depends upon cash dividend payments to the Company by the Bank, which is our primary source of revenue and cash flow. Accordingly, the right of the Company, and consequently the right of our creditors and shareholders, to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of any subsidiary is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of the Company in its capacity as a creditor may be recognized.

Table of Contents

As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the payment and amounts of dividends under the Pennsylvania Banking Code. Further, the ability of banking subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to their profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements included at Item 8 of this Report.

The payment of dividends by the Bank and the Company may also be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Federal banking regulators have the authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying a dividend if the regulators deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Capital Adequacy and Operations

In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) was enacted. FDICIA contains provisions limiting activities and business methods of depository institutions. FDICIA requires the primary federal banking regulators to promulgate regulations setting forth standards relating to, among other things, internal controls and audit systems; credit underwriting and loan documentation; interest rate exposure and other off-balance sheet assets and liabilities; and compensation of directors and officers. FDICIA also provides for expanded regulation of depository institutions and their affiliates, including parent holding companies, by such institutions’ primary federal banking regulator. Each primary federal banking regulator is required to specify, by regulation, capital standards for measuring the capital adequacy of the depository institutions it supervises and, depending upon the extent to which a depository institution does not meet such capital adequacy measures, the primary federal banking regulator may prohibit such institution from paying dividends or may require such institution to take other steps to become adequately capitalized.

FDICIA establishes five capital tiers, ranging from “well capitalized”, to “critically undercapitalized”. A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure. Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market; in addition, “pass through” insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts. FDICIA also requires an undercapitalized depository institution to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency. One requisite element of such a plan is that the institution’s parent holding company must guarantee compliance by the institution with the plan, subject to certain limitations. In the event of the parent holding company’s bankruptcy, the guarantee, and any other commitments that the parent holding company has made to federal bank regulators to maintain the capital of its depository institution subsidiaries, would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority in payment.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2009, the Bank qualified as “well capitalized” under these regulatory capital standards. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included at Item 8 of this Report.

Community Reinvestment Act

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”), the FDIC is required to assess the record of all financial institutions regulated by it to determine if these institutions are meeting the credit needs of the community (including low and moderate income neighborhoods) which they serve. CRA performance evaluations are based on a four-tiered rating system: Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve and Substantial Noncompliance. CRA performance evaluations are considered in evaluating applications for such things as mergers, acquisitions and applications to open branches. The Bank has a CRA rating of “Satisfactory.”

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders

The Bank also is subject to the restrictions of Sections 23A, 23B, 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O adopted by the Federal Reserve Board. Section 23A requires that loans or extensions of credit to an affiliate, purchases of securities issued by an affiliate, purchases of assets from an affiliate (except as may be exempted by order or regulation), the acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral and the issuance of a guarantee, acceptance of letters of credit on behalf of an affiliate (collectively, “Covered Transactions”) be on terms and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices. Section 23A also imposes quantitative restrictions on the amount of and collateralization requirements on such transactions. Section 23B requires that all Covered Transactions and certain other transactions, including the sale of securities or other assets to an affiliate and the payment of money or the furnishing of services to an affiliate, be on terms comparable to those prevailing for similar transactions with non-affiliates.

Section 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act impose similar limitations on loans and extensions of credit from the bank to its executive officers, directors and principal shareholders and any of their related interests. The limitations restrict the terms and aggregate amount of such transactions. Regulation O implements the provisions of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) and requires maintenance of records of such transactions by the bank and regular reporting of such transactions by insiders. The FDIC also requires the bank, upon request, to disclose publicly loans and extensions of credit to insiders in excess of certain amounts.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Treasury has the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions. On October 14, 2008, Secretary Paulson, after consulting with the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, announced that the Department of the Treasury would purchase equity stakes in a wide variety of banks and thrifts. Under this program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA, the Treasury made up to $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock. In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the Treasury would receive warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Company determined not to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

Deposit Insurance and Premiums

The deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits per insured depositor by the FDIC. In October 2008, the FDIC increased FDIC deposit insurance coverage per separately insured depositor for all account types to $250,000. While initially stipulated to be in effect through December 31, 2009, this increase has been subsequently extended through December 31, 2013 (at which point it will revert to $100,000 thereafter for most accounts other than IRAs and certain other types of retirement accounts up to a maximum of $250,000, if not extended by Congress). Additionally, through the Bank’s participation in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program, all non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts are fully guaranteed through June 2010, regardless of the amount on deposit.

As an FDIC-insured bank, the Bank is also subject to FDIC insurance assessments, which are imposed based upon the risk the institution poses to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). Under this assessment system, risk is defined and measured using an institution’s supervisory ratings with certain other risk measures, including certain financial ratios. The annual rates for institutions in 2009 range from 12 basis points for “well managed,” “well capitalized” banks with the highest ratings, to 45 basis points for institutions posing the most risk to the DIF. The FDIC may raise or lower these assessment rates on a quarterly basis based on various factors to achieve a reserve ratio, which the FDIC currently has set at 1.25 percent of insured deposits. Due to recent bank failures and contingent loss reserves established by the FDIC against potential future bank failures, the reserve ratio is currently significantly below its target balance. Thus, in February 2009, the FDIC adopted a Final Rule on Assessments under which the quarterly initial base assessment rates increased substantially beginning in the second quarter of 2009. The FDIC then adopted a Final Rule on Special Assessment in May 2009, which imposed a 5 basis point special assessment on each institution’s assets minus Tier 1 capital as reported on the report of condition as of June 30, 2009, but capped the special assessment at 10 basis points times the institution’s assessment base for the second quarter 2009 risk-based assessment. On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that required insured depository institutions to prepay, on December 30, 2009, their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012, along with their quarterly risk-based assessment for the third quarter of 2009. The continued decline in the DIF balance may convince the FDIC to impose additional special emergency assessments in the future that could have a significant impact on the Bank’s capital levels and earnings. During 2009, the increase in FDIC annual rates, insured deposit growth and the special assessment, at 10 basis points, impacted our pretax earnings. The special assessment totaled $209 thousand. The prepayment for the Bank’s quarterly assessments amounted to $1.9 million and will be recognized as expense over a 3 year period.

Table of Contents

In addition to DIF assessments, the FDIC assesses all insured deposits a special assessment to fund the repayment of debt obligations of the Financing Corporation (“FICO”). FICO is a government-sponsored entity that was formed to borrow the money necessary to carry out the closing and ultimate disposition of failed thrift institutions by the Resolution Trust Corporation in the 1990s. As of January 1, 2010, the annualized rate established by the FDIC for the FICO assessment was 1.06 basis points per $100 of insured deposits.

FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

In October 2008, the FDIC introduced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”), which is designed to improve the functions of the credit markets and to strengthen confidence in the financial system. The TLGP has two components (both of which involve participation fees to be paid by the participating institution): (i) a transaction account guarantee program, providing a full guaranty through June 2010 of noninterest-bearing deposit transaction accounts, such as business payroll accounts, regardless of the amount on deposit (the “Transaction Account Guarantee Program”) and (ii) a debt guarantee program, providing a guarantee of certain newly issued senior unsecured debt of FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies (the “Debt Guarantee Program”). The Bank elected to not participate in the Debt Guarantee Program. However, we elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program.

Other Federal Laws and Regulations

State usury and credit laws limit the amount of interest and various other charges collected or contracted by a bank on loans. The Bank’s loans are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the following:

•

Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, which governs disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

•

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligations to meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

•

Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibitive factors in extending credit;

•

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, which requires lenders to disclose certain information regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements, and prohibits certain lending practices, as well as limits escrow account amounts in real estate transactions;

•

Fair Credit Reporting Act governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and

•

Various rules and regulations of various federal agencies charged with the implementation of such federal laws.

Table of Contents

Additionally, our operations are subject to additional federal laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions, including, without limitation:

•

Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related regulations, which require us to maintain privacy policies intended to safeguard customer financial information, to disclose the policies to our customers and to allow customers to “opt out” of having their financial service providers disclose their confidential financial information to non-affiliated third parties, subject to certain exceptions;

•

Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

•

Consumer protection rules for the sale of insurance products by depository institutions, adopted pursuant to the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; and

•

USA Patriot Act, which requires financial institutions to take certain actions to help prevent, detect and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

Effective July 1, 2010, a new federal banking rule under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act will prohibit financial institutions from charging consumers fees for paying overdrafts on automated teller machines (“ATM”) and one-time debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents, or opts in, to the overdraft service for those type of transactions. If a consumer does not opt in, any ATM transaction or debit that overdraws the consumer’s account will be denied. Overdrafts on the payment of checks and regular electronic bill payments are not covered by this new rule. Before opting in, the consumer must be provided a notice that explains the financial institution’s overdraft services, including the fees associated with the service, and the consumer’s choices. Financial institutions must provide consumers who do not opt in with the same account terms, conditions and features (including pricing) that they provide to consumers who do opt in.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity securities registered or that file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including publicly held bank holding companies such as the Company. In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishes: (i) requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws. Many of the provisions were effective immediately while other provisions become effective over a period of time and are subject to rulemaking by the SEC.

Governmental Policies

Our earnings are significantly affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement these objectives are open-market operations in U.S. Government securities and federal funds, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments of monetary policy are used in varying combinations to influence the overall level of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits. The Federal Reserve Board frequently uses these instruments of monetary policy, especially its open-market operations and the discount rate, to influence the level of interest rates and to affect the strength of the economy, the level of inflation or the price of the dollar in foreign exchange markets. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of banking institutions in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. It is not possible to predict the nature of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies, or the effect which they may have on our business and earnings.

Other Legislative Initiatives

Proposals may be introduced in the United States Congress and in the Pennsylvania Legislature and before various bank regulatory authorities which would alter the powers of, and restrictions on, different types of banking organizations and which would restructure part or all of the existing regulatory framework for banks, bank holding companies and other providers of financial services. Moreover, other bills may be introduced in Congress which would further regulate, deregulate or restructure the financial services industry, including proposals to substantially reform the regulatory framework. It is not possible to predict whether these or any other proposals will be enacted into law or, even if enacted, the effect which they may have on our business and earnings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF EMBASSY BANCORP, INC.

This discussion and analysis provides an overview of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report.

Forward-looking Statements

This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements of goals, intentions, and expectations as to future trends, plans, events or results of Bank operations and policies and regarding general economic conditions. These statements are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally and in the Company’s market, interest rates and interest rate policy, competitive factors and other conditions that, by their nature, are not susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant uncertainty.

Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “intends”, “will”, “should”, “anticipates”, or the negative of any of the foregoing or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy.

No assurance can be given that the future results covered by forward-looking statements will be achieved. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could impact the Company’s operating results include, but are not limited to, (i) the effects of changing economic conditions in the Company’s market areas and nationally, (ii) credit risks of commercial, real estate, consumer and other lending activities, (iii) significant changes in interest rates, (iv) changes in federal and state banking laws and regulations which could impact the Company’s operations, and (iv) other external developments which could materially affect the Company’s business and operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions. The Company believes that its determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than the Company’s other significant accounting policies. Further, these estimates can be materially impacted by changes in market conditions or the actual or perceived financial condition of the Company’s borrowers, subjecting the Company to significant volatility of earnings.

The allowance for loan losses is established through the provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings. Provision for loan losses is made to reserve for estimated probable losses on loans. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and is regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in actual and forecasted credit quality, including delinquency, charge-off and bankruptcy rates, and current economic conditions that may affect a borrower’s ability to pay. The use of different estimates of assumptions could produce different provision for loan losses. For additional discussion concerning the Company’s allowance for loan losses and related matters, see “Provision for Loan Losses” and “Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Table of Contents

Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuations allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

GENERAL

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and section 225.15 of Regulation Y. The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which reorganization was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s assets grew $74.1 million from $391.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $465.2 million at December 31, 2009. The Company’s deposits grew $73.7 million from $307.6 million at December 31, 2008 to $381.3 million at December 31, 2009. During the same period, loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased $29.7 million to $346.3 million at December 31, 2009 from $316.6 million at December 31, 2008. The market is very competitive and the Company is committed to maintaining a high quality portfolio that returns a reasonable market rate. The Company expects increased lending activity, as the Company expands its presence in the market and becomes more widely known. The lending staff has been active in contacting new prospects and promoting the Company’s name in the community. Management believes that this will translate into continued growth of a portfolio of quality loans, although there can be no assurance of this.

The Company reported net income of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net income of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between income on assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Earning assets are composed primarily of loans and investments; interest-bearing deposits and borrowings make up the cost of funds. Non-interest bearing deposits and capital are other components representing funding sources. Changes in the volume and mix of assets and funding sources, along with the changes in yields earned and rates paid, determine changes in net interest income.

Table of Contents

2009 Compared to 2008

Total interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $22.8 million compared to $20.7 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $9.2 million compared to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in interest income is due to growth in loan balances as well as investment securities. The decrease in interest expense is due to the lower interest rate environment as well as a shift in deposits from certificates of deposit to savings accounts. Net interest income increased to $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Generally, changes in net interest income are measured by net interest rate spread and net interest margin. Interest spread is the mathematical difference between the average interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Interest margin represents the net interest yield on earning assets and is derived by dividing net interest income by average earning assets. In a mature financial institution the interest margin gives a reader better indicators of asset earning results when compared to peer groups or industry standards.

The Company’s net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 3.11% compared to 2.73% for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in the margin is due primarily to the increase in loan balances as well as current market conditions which have significantly reduced deposit account rates and had a lesser impact on loan rates. During this difficult market environment, the Company continued to grow and attract deposits and loans at competitive rates.

The following table includes the average balances, interest income and expense and the average rates earned and paid for assets and liabilities for the periods presented. All average balances are daily average balances.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents the expense recognized to fund the allowance for loan losses. This amount is based on many factors that reflect management’s assessment of the risk in its loan portfolio. Those factors include economic conditions and trends, the value and adequacy of collateral, volume and mix of the portfolio, performance of the portfolio, and internal loan processes of the Company.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the provision for loan losses was $702 thousand compared to $429 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2009 was $3.6 million, which represents 1.03% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2009, which is comparable to the prior year-end of $2.9 million representing 0.92% of outstanding loans. Based principally on current economic conditions, perceived asset quality, loan-loss experience of comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, the allowance is believed to be adequate. The increase in the percentage of allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans between December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 was due to an increase in loan volume and impairment of certain loans.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income is derived from the Company’s operations and represents primarily service charge income and fees on deposit relationships. Non-interest income also may include net gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities. Total non-interest income was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $661 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase in non-interest income is due to increased service fees from the increase in the number of deposit accounts as well as an increase in merchant credit card processing services. Sales of securities in 2009 totaled $3.1 million with net gains of $174 thousand; the proceeds were used, in part, to pay down FHLB debt. There were no sales of securities in 2008. As the account base grows and the Company matures and develops additional sources of fee income, non-interest income will be a contributor to the overall profitability of the Company.

Table of Contents

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses represent the normal operating expenses of the Company. These expenses include salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, data processing, advertising and other expenses related to the overall operation of the Company.

Non-interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $9.9 million, compared to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The largest component increase was in FDIC insurance, which increased $531 thousand or 334% due to increased deposit volume, higher premium rates, and a special assessment to replenish the FDI fund. At December 31, 2009, the Company had fifty-seven full-time equivalent employees compared to fifty-one full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2008. Salaries and benefits increased $503 thousand or 13% due primarily to staff additions, increases in annual salaries and employee insurance benefits. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $339 thousand or 27% due to the additional expense for two new branches, additions, maintenance and repairs of computer equipment, and software expenses. Data processing costs increased $69 thousand or 11% due to increased volume of accounts and enhanced network support services. Advertising and marketing expense increased $11 thousand or 2% due to product promotions and our image campaign within the community. Professional fees increased $57 thousand or 18% due to increased costs and expansion of primarily third party auditing, regulatory and consulting services. Credit card expense increased $154 thousand or 42% due to increased volume. Loan expense increased $52 thousand or 65%, due to increased collection activities. Other expenses increased $207 thousand or 37% due to the Company’s growth.

A breakdown of other non-interest expenses is included in the consolidated statements of income in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $1.2 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $658 thousand at December 31, 2008.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The Company’s securities portfolio is classified, in its entirety, as “available for sale.” Management believes that a portfolio classification of available for sale allows complete flexibility in the investment portfolio. Using this classification, the Company intends to hold these securities for an indefinite amount of time but not necessarily to maturity. Such securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The portfolio is structured to provide maximum return on investments while providing a consistent source of liquidity and meeting strict risk standards. The Company holds no high-risk securities or derivatives as of December 31, 2009.

The Company’s securities portfolio was $72.8 million at December 31, 2009, an $18.5 million increase from securities of $54.3 million at December 31, 2008. The Company’s securities have increased due to purchases in the amount of $32.6 million offset by investment principal pay-downs, maturities and sales. The carrying value of the securities portfolio as of December 31, 2009 includes a net unrealized gain of $2.1 million as compared to a net unrealized gain of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2008, which is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. This increase in the unrealized gain is due to the changes in market interest rates from 2008 to 2009, and therefore no securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

In its lending activities, the Company seeks to develop sound credit relationships with customers who will grow with the Company. There has not been an effort to rapidly build the portfolio and earnings at the sacrifice of asset quality. The philosophy of seeking quality credits and building relationships while possibly forgoing income opportunities will continue.

The Company’s loan policy establishes tiered lending authorities to individual officers of the Company, the Loan Committee and the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2009, the Company had one loan delinquent beyond ninety days and still accruing interest for $584 thousand, as compared to two loans (to a single borrower) delinquent beyond ninety days and still accruing interest for $818 thousand at December 31, 2008, no loans delinquent beyond ninety days and still accruing interest at December 31, 2007, three loans delinquent (two to a single borrower) for $206 thousand at December 31, 2006, and one loan delinquent for $102 thousand at December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2009, the Company had five loans in non-accrual status totaling $4.2 million, as compared to no loans on non-accrual status at December 31, 2008 and 2007, two loans on non-accrual status for $205 thousand at December 31, 2006 and no loans on non-accrual status at year ending 2005. At December 31, 2009 the Company had two loans charged off for the year totaling $21 thousand, and interest charged off in the amount of $15 thousand, as compared to no loans charged off for the year ended 2008, two loans totaling $313 thousand charged off for the year ending 2007, and no loans charged off at years ending 2006, and 2005. It is the Company’s policy to discontinue the accrual of interest when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. The Company has had no other real estate owned as acquired through foreclosure.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio and loan loss experience of comparable institutions in the Company’s market areas, an allowance for loan losses has been provided at 1.03% of outstanding loans. Based on its knowledge of the portfolio and current economic conditions, management believes that as of December 31, 2009, the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had impaired loans of $595 thousand requiring a specific reserve of $267 thousand. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had impaired loans of $4.2 million not requiring any specific reserve.

Deposits

The Company, as growth continues, expects that the principal sources of its funds will be deposits, consisting of demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit from the local market areas surrounding the Company’s office. These accounts provide the Company with a source of fee income and a relatively stable source of funds.

Total deposits at December 31, 2009 were $381.3 million, an increase of $73.7 million, or 23.96%, over total deposits of $307.6 million as of December 31, 2008.

As a FDIC member institution, the Company's deposits are insured to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor through the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") that is administered by the FDIC and each institution is required to pay semi-annual deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to meet the demands required for the funding of loans and to meet depositors’ requirements for use of their funds. The Company’s sources of liquidity are cash balances, due from banks, Federal funds sold and short-term securities. There are other sources of liquidity that are available to the Company.

Table of Contents

The Bank has borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Pittsburgh of approximately $183.4 million, of which $11.4 million was outstanding at December 31, 2009, all of which is long term. The Bank also has a line of credit with the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank of approximately $25.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of which none was outstanding at December 31, 2009. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank line are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank and advances from the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank line are unsecured. The Company has two lines of credit with Univest National Bank and Trust Company, totaling $10.0 million, of which $5.6 million was outstanding at December 31, 2009. These lines of credit are secured by 833,333 shares of Bank stock.

Because of the composition of the Company’s balance sheet, its strong capital base, deposit growth, and borrowing capacity, the Company remains well positioned with respect to liquidity. While it is desirable to be liquid, it has the effect of a lower interest margin. The majority of funds are invested in loans; however, a sizeable portion is invested in investment securities that generally carry a lower yield.

Contractual Obligations

The following table represents the Company’s contractual obligations to make future payments as of December 31, 2009:

Total	$	92,570	$	31,235	$	12,698	$	9,525	$	146,028

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist of unfunded loans and lines of credit and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2009 totaled $65.4 million. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company.

Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.

The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and section 225.15 of Regulation Y. The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which reorganization was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.

Table of Contents

The Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule in February 2006 that expands the definition of a small bank holding company (“BHC”) under the Board’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and the Board’s risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies. In its revisions to the Policy Statement, the Federal Reserve Board has raised the small BHC asset size threshold from $150 million to $500 million and amended the related qualitative criteria for determining eligibility as a small BHC for the purposes of the policy statement and the capital guidelines. The policy statement facilitates the transfer of ownership of small community banks by permitting debt levels at small BHCs that are higher than what would typically be permitted for larger BHCs. Because small BHCs may, consistent with the policy statement, operate at a level of leverage that generally is inconsistent with the capital guidelines, the capital guidelines provide an exemption for small BHCs. Based on the ruling, Embassy Bancorp, Inc. meets the eligibility criteria of a small BHC and is exempt from regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

The following table provides a comparison of the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios:

	December 31, 2009			December 31, 2008
	(Dollars In Thousands)
Tier I, common stockholders' equity	$	37,464		$	30,705
Tier II, allowable portion of allowance for loan losses		3,598			2,932

Total capital	$	41,062		$	33,637

Tier I risk based capital ratio		11.7	%		10.7	%

Total risk based capital ratio		12.8	%		11.7	%

Tier I leverage ratio		8.1	%		8.1	%

Note:

Unrealized gains on securities available for sale are excluded from regulatory capital components of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements necessary to be considered a “well capitalized” financial institution under applicable federal regulations.

Interest Rate Risk Management

A principal objective of the Company’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and repricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO Committee), which meets as part of the Board of Directors meeting, oversees this review, which establishes policies to control interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the volatility of a company’s earnings resulting from a movement in market interest rates. The Company monitors rate sensitivity in order to reduce vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate capital levels and acceptable levels of liquidity. The Company’s asset/liability management policy, along with monthly financial reports, supplies management with guidelines to evaluate and manage rate sensitivity.

GAP, a measure of the difference in volume between interest bearing assets and interest bearing liabilities, is a means of monitoring the sensitivity of a financial institution to changes in interest rates. The chart below provides an indicator of the rate sensitivity of the Company. NOW and Savings accounts are slotted by their respective estimated decay rates. The Company is liability sensitive, which means that if interest rates fall, interest income will fall slower than interest expense and net interest income will likely increase. If interest rates rise, interest income will rise slower than interest expense and net interest income will likely decrease.

Based on a twelve-month forecast of the balance sheet, the following table sets forth our interest rate risk profile at December 31, 2009. For income simulation purposes, NOW and savings accounts are repriced quarterly. The impact on net interest income, illustrated in the following table would vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from that indicated by the assumptions.

The return on average assets for 2008 was 0.33%; the return on average equity for the same period was 4.17%; and the ratio of average shareholders’ equity to average total assets was 7.95%.

Effects of Inflation

The majority of assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature, and therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. The precise impact of inflation upon the Company is difficult to measure. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs of consumers, thereby impacting the growth rate of the Company’s assets. Inflation may also affect the general level of interest rates, which can have a direct bearing on the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Embassy Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Embassy Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiary, Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley, (collectively the “Company’) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Embassy Bank For the Lehigh Valley (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized on November 11, 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and section 225.15 of Regulation Y. It owns all of the capital stock of Embassy Bank For the Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”), giving the Bank more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Bank continues to grow. Stockholders of the Bank exchanged each share of common stock of the Bank for one share of common stock of the Holding Company. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial information relating to periods prior to November 11, 2008 are reported under the name of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. The Company, as a holding company, is subject to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.

The Bank was incorporated as a bank in Pennsylvania on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. The Bank was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s market area. As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. Note 2 discusses the types of securities in which the Company invests. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 3. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one specific industry or customer, with the exception of lending activity to a broad range of lessors of residential and non-residential real estate within the Lehigh Valley. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

Presentation of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with bank, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased or sold for less than one week periods.

Securities

Securities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the

Table of Contents

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairment. This recent accounting guidance amends the recognition guidance for other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosures for other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt and equity securities. The recent guidance replaced the “intent and ability” indication in current guidance by specifying that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not, the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. The Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stock

Restricted investments in bank stock consists of Federal Home Loan Bank stock (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The restricted stocks are carried at cost.

In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock. The Company had $2.1 million of FHLB stock as of December 31, 2009.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB as of December 31, 2009.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.

The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the

Table of Contents

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and home equity loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets; furniture, fixtures and equipment for five to ten years, leasehold improvements for ten to fifteen years, computer equipment and data processing software for three to five years, and automobiles for five years.

Table of Contents

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets, including sales of loan participations, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Advertising Costs

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carry forwards and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for stock splits. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares (stock options) had been issued. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	2009		2008
	(Dollars In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)

Net income	$	2,733	$	1,186

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) for employees. All employees are eligible to participate after they have attained the age of 21 and have also completed 12 consecutive months of service during which at least 1,000 hours of service are completed. The employees may contribute up to the maximum percentage allowable by law of their compensation to the Plan, and the Company provides a match of fifty percent of the first 8% percent to eligible participating employees. Full vesting in the Plan is prorated equally over a four-year period. The Company’s contributions to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $77 thousand and $74 thousand, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of the change in other comprehensive income are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

	2009			2008
	(In Thousands)

Unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities	$	447		$	1,362
Less: reclassification adjustment for realized gains		174			-
		621			1,362
Tax effect		(211	)		(464	)
Net unrealized gains	$	410		$	898

Segment Reporting

The Company acts as an independent, community, financial services provider, and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers. The Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and home equity loans; and the provision of other financial services.

Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial and retail operations of the Company. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.

Table of Contents

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no stock options granted.

Subsequent Events

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 855 Subsequent Events. This topic establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This topic sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date.

New Accounting Standards

ASC Topic 105

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 105, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. This topic replaces SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This topic is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Where applicable, all guidance in these financial statements refers to the codification references.

ASU 2009-05

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. The amendments within ASU 2009-05 clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

A valuation technique that uses:

The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset.

Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.

Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820.

Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability.

When estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.

Table of Contents

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

New Accounting Standards (Continued)

Both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2009-16

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.

The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to

because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting.

This Update is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2010-01

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505) - Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in earnings per share prospectively and is not a stock dividend. This Update codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-E, “Accounting for Stock Dividends, Including Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash.”

This Update is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this pronouncement had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2010-06

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification. Subtopic 820-10 to now require:

A reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures

For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 - Stockholders’ Equity

On November 11, 2008, the Company consummated its acquisition of Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley pursuant to a Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated April 18, 2008, pursuant to which the Bank was reorganized into a bank holding company structure. At the effective time of the reorganization, each share of common stock of Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley issued and outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Company common stock. The issuance of Company common stock in connection with the reorganization was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(12) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 12 - Stock Option Plan

In connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, the Company assumed the Bank's 2001 Stock Option Plan which was renamed the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant options to officers, other employees and directors of the Company. As of March 31, 2010, the aggregate number of shares available for issurance under the Plan, as adjusted to reflect stock splits declared by the Bank's Board of Directors and an increase in the number of shares subject to the Plan approved by the Bank's shareholders prior to reorganization, is 1,263,645. The shares granted under the Plan to directors are non-qualified options. The shares granted under the Plan to officers and other employees are generally intended to be “incentive stock options,” and are subject to the limitations under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Shares subject to options under the Plan may be either from authorized but unissued shares of the Company or shares purchased in the open market.

All options granted under the Plan are subject to vesting requirements of not less than three years and the term shall not exceed ten years. The exercise price of the options granted shall be the fair market value of a share of common stock at the time of the grant.

	$	1,203		$	658

The Company adopted guidance in ASC Topic 740 regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. The Company has evaluated its tax positions. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a likelihood of being realized on examination of more than 50 percent. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Under the “more likely than not” threshold guidelines, the Company believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit. As of January 1, 2008, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to account for interest as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of other expense. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax. Neither the Company nor the Bank, is subject to examination by U.S. Federal taxing authorities for years before 2006.

The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with its executive officers, directors, principal stockholders, their immediate families and affiliated companies (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.

Related parties were indebted to the Company for loans totaling $3.2 million and $3.7 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2009, loans totaling $1.7 million were disbursed and loan repayments totaled $2.2 million.

Fees paid to related parties for legal services for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, were approximately $42 thousand and $24 thousand, respectively. The Company leases its main banking office from an investment group comprised of related parties and its West Broad Street office also from a related party as described in Note 9.

Note 15 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

	2009		2008
	(In Thousands)

Commitments to grant loans, fixed	$	7,537	$	311
Commitments to grant loans, variable		2,125		300
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, fixed		3,519		886
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit, variable		48,602		43,000
Standby letters of credit		3,599		2,743

	$	65,382	$	47,240

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Company requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. The maximum undiscounted exposure related to these commitments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $3.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and the approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 16 - Regulatory Matters

The Company is required to maintain cash reserve balances in vault cash and with the Federal Reserve Bank. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a $726 thousand minimum reserve balance, which was covered by vault cash.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below:

guidelines. The policy statement facilitates the transfer of ownership of small community banks by permitting debt levels at small BHCs that are higher than what would typically be permitted for larger BHCs. Because small BHCs may, consistent with the policy statement, operate at a level of leverage that generally is inconsistent with the capital guidelines, the policy statement provides an exemption from such guidelines for small BHCs. Based on the policy statement, Embassy Bancorp, Inc. meets the eligibility criteria of a small BHC and is exempt from regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of FASB ASC, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

ASC Topic 860 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 860 are as follows:

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Description	(Level 1) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		(Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs		(Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total
	(In Thousands)

December 31, 2009 Securities available for sale	$	-	$	72,795	$	-	$	72,795
December 31, 2008 Securities available for sale	$	-	$	54,251	$	-	$	54,251

For financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Description	(Level 1) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		(Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs		(Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total
	(In Thousands)

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Interest Bearing Time Deposits (Carried at Cost)

Fair values for fixed-rate time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The Company generally purchases amounts below the insured limit, limiting the amount of credit risk on these time deposits.

Table of Contents

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under existing FASB guidance, in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Restricted Investment in Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased (Carried at Cost)

These borrowings are short term and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Table of Contents

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Short-Term Borrowings (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Long-Term Borrowings (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of FHLB and Univest advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB and Univest advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Disclosed at Cost)

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
