Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). 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 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. Embassy Holdings, LLC (the “LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank organized to engage in the holding of property acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Bank, which is the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, 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 accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2012.

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2012 through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2012 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on 2011 net income.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company as applied in the interim financial statements presented are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 3 – 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 4 – Stock Incentive Plan

Stock Incentive Plan:

At the Company’s annual meeting on June 16, 2010, the shareholders approved the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “SIP”). The SIP authorizes the Board of Directors, or a committee authorized by the Board of Directors, to award a stock based incentive to (i) designated officers (including officers who are directors) and other designated employees at the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) non-employee members of the Board of Directors and advisors and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors believes that the SIP will encourage the designated participants to contribute materially to the growth of the Company. The SIP provides for stock based incentives in the form of incentive stock options as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock awards. The term of the option, the amount of time for the option to vest after grant, if any, and other terms and limitations will be determined at the time of grant. Options granted under the SIP may not have an exercise period that is more than ten years from the time the option is granted.

The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the SIP is 500,000. The SIP provides for appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares available for grant or subject to outstanding awards under the SIP to avoid dilution in the event of merger, stock splits, stock dividends or other changes in the capitalization of the Company. The SIP expires on June 15, 2020. There were no awards granted under the SIP for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. In February 2012, the Company granted 7,992 shares of restricted stock to certain members of its Board of Directors as compensation for their service in 2011 in accordance with the Company’s Non-employee Directors Compensation program adopted in October of 2010. Such compensation was accrued for as of December 31, 2011. In February 2012, the Company also granted stock options to purchase 52,611 shares of stock to certain executive officers in accordance with their respective employment agreements. Stock compensation expense related to these options was $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, approximately $130 thousand unrecognized cost related to these stock options will be recognized over the next 2.9 years.

Note 5 – Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for stock dividends and splits. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
	(Dollars In Thousands, except per share data)

Net income	$	1,170	$	1,114

Weighted average shares outstanding		7,176		7,157

Basic earnings per share	$	0.16	$	0.16
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.16	$	0.15

Stock options of 122,200 and 132,906 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because they are not dilutive to earnings.

Note 6 – Guarantees

The Company, through the Bank, does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $4.4 million of standby letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2012. The approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $4.3 million. Management does not consider the current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2012 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued to be material.

Note 7 – Short-term and Long-term Borrowings

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) short term advances generally represent overnight or less than twelve month borrowings. Long term advances from the FHLB are for proceeds of twelve months or more and are generally less than sixty months. The Bank has an agreement with the FHLB which allows for borrowings up to a percentage of qualifying assets. At March 31, 2012, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity for short-term and long-term advances of approximately $201.5 million, of which $7.9 million were outstanding in long-term loans. This borrowing capacity with the FHLB includes a line of credit of $25.0 million. Long-term loans with FHLB of $7.9 million were outstanding at December 31, 2011. There were no short-term advances outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

The Bank has a federal funds line of credit with the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) of approximately $6.0 million, of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Advances from this line are unsecured.

The Company has two lines of credit with Univest Bank and Trust Co. (“Univest”) totaling $10 million. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance was $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Advances from these lines of credit are secured by 833,333 shares of Bank common stock. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Bank is required to remain well capitalized. The proceeds of the loan were primarily used for the holding company’s investment in the Bank, thus providing additional capital to support the Bank’s growth.

Note 8 – Securities Available For Sale

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the amortized cost and fair values of securities available-for-sale were as follows:

Securities with a carrying value of $41.5 and $47.7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were subject to agreements to repurchase, pledged to secure public deposits, or pledged for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The following table shows the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

Total Temporarily Impaired Securities	$	3,929	$	(80	)	$	-	$	-	$	3,929	$	(80	)

The Company had ten (10) securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2012. The unrealized losses are due only to interest rate fluctuations. As of March 31, 2012, the Company either has the intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity or market price recovery, or believes that it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell such securities. Management believes that the unrealized loss only represents temporary impairment of the securities. None of the individual losses are significant.

Note 9 – Restricted Investment In Bank Stock

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

In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock, and any future capital stock repurchases will be made on a quarterly basis if conditions warrant such repurchases. During 2011 and 2010, the FHLB conducted a limited excess capital stock repurchase based upon positive quarterly net income. Any future capital stock repurchases will be made on a quarterly basis if conditions warrant such repurchases. In February 2012, the FHLB announced that dividend payments would resume in 2012.

Management evaluates the FHLB and ACBB 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 issuer as compared to the capital stock amount for the issuer and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the issuer to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the issuer, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the issuer.

Based upon its evaluation of the foregoing criteria, management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB stock as of March 31, 2012.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition than it would not otherwise consider, resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions to maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better coincide the timing of payments due under the modified terms with the expected timing of cash flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and the evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

The following table presents TDRs outstanding as of March 31, 2012:

	March 31, 2012
	Accrual Loans		Non-Accrual Loans		Total Modifications
	(In Thousands)
Commercial real estate	$	4,680	$	-	$	4,680

As of March 31, 2012, no available commitments were outstanding on TDRs.

The following tables present newly restructured loans that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively:

	Number of Loans		Pre-Modification Outstanding Balance		Post-Modification Outstanding Balance

Of the TDRs described above, two loans required an impairment reserve of $149 thousand recorded in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

There were no loans that were classified as a TDR within the prior twelve months that experienced a payment default (loans ninety or more days past due) during the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. 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.

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.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, 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

December 31, 2011 Other real estate owned	$	-	$	-	$	3,388	$	3,388

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.

At March 31, 2012, of the impaired loans having an aggregate balance of $13.5 million, $10.7 million did not require a valuation allowance because the value of the collateral securing the loan was determined to meet or exceed the balance owed on the loan. Of the remaining $2.8 million in impaired loans, an aggregate valuation allowance of $359 thousand was required to reflect what was determined to be a shortfall in the value of the collateral as compared to the balance on such loans.

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised value of the property. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
Description	Fair Value Estimate	Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Input	Range (Weighted Average)
	(Dollars In Thousands)

March 31, 2012 Impaired loans	2,460	Appraisal of collateral (1)	Appraisal adjustments (2)	0% to -25% (-21.5%)
			Liquidation expenses (3)	-10% (-10%)
March 31, 2012 Other real estate owned
	2,969	Pending agreement of sale (4)	Liquidation expenses (3)	-5% (-5%)

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs

which are not identifiable.

(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors including economic conditions and the age of the appraisal. The range and weighted

average of appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

(3) Appraisals and pending agreements of sale are adjusted by management for liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of

liquidation expense adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal or pending agreement of sale.

(4) Fair value is determined by a pending agreements of sale.

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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

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.

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by 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 these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

The fair values of loans, excluding impaired loans carried at fair value of collateral, 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, and 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.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

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.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 12 – New Accounting Standards

ASU 2011-04 (Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs)

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, to bring U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements in line with International Accounting Standards. The Update clarifies existing guidance for items such as: the application of the highest and best use concept to non-financial assets and liabilities; the application of fair value measurement to financial instruments classified in a reporting entity’s stockholder’s equity; and disclosure requirements regarding quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of level 3 assets. The Update also creates an exception to Topic 820 for entities which carry financial instruments within a portfolio or group, under which the entity is now permitted to base the price used for fair valuation upon a price that would be received to sell the net asset position or transfer a net liability position in an orderly transaction. The Update also allows for the application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement if the financial instrument is categorized in level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Lastly, the ASU contains new disclosure requirements regarding fair value amounts categorized as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy such as: disclosure of the valuation process used; effects of and relationships between unobservable inputs; usage of nonfinancial assets for purposes other than their highest and best use when that is the basis of the disclosed fair value; and categorization by level of items disclosed at fair value, but not measured at fair value for financial statement purposes. For public entities, this Update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption was not permitted. The company adopted this update on January 1, 2012 and the new disclosures are included in Note 11.

ASU 2011-05 (Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The provisions of this update amend FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, to facilitate the continued alignment of U.S. GAAP with International Accounting Standards. The Update prohibits the presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the statement of stockholder’s equity. Reporting entities are allowed to present either: a statement of comprehensive income, which reports both net income and other comprehensive income; or separate statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under previous GAAP, all 3 presentations were acceptable. Regardless of the presentation selected, the Reporting Entity is required to present all reclassifications between other comprehensive and net income on the face of the new statement or statements. The provisions of this Update were effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2011 for public entities. The Company adopted this update on January 1, 2012, and the new Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income is included in these financial statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act). 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 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. Embassy Holdings, LLC (the “LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank organized to engage in the holding of property acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC.

The Bank, which is the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, 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’s assets grew $41.4 million from $575.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $616.8 million at March 31, 2012 due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents, loans, and the securities portfolio which were offset slightly by a decrease in foreclosed real estate.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.2 million compared to a net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $1.1 million. Loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased $12.8 million to $431.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $419.1 million at December 31, 2011. 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 to increase lending activity, as the Company expands its presence in its market and becomes more widely known. The past and current economic conditions have created lower demand for loans by credit-worthy customers. 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $184 thousand to $6.0 million, as compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to the increase in average earning assets offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets. Average earning assets were $584.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $498.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets was 4.26% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 4.84% for the first quarter of 2011.

Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $49 thousand to $1.2 million as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to decreases in deposit rates and the mix of deposits, as the Bank has become less reliant on higher cost certificate of deposits. Average interest bearing liabilities were $515.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $447.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 0.94% for the first quarter of 2012 compared to 1.14% for the first quarter of 2011. This decrease was the result of market conditions, deposit mix, competition, and management’s resulting adjustments to the interest rates provided to depositors.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $4.8 million compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The improvement in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is a result of decreases in the interest expense associated with deposits and other borrowed funds, and an increase in interest income associated with the increased volume of earning assets, offset by a reduction in rates received on interest earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased thirty-nine (39) basis points to 3.43% as compared to 3.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, due to the current interest rate environment, including the decreased cost of deposits and borrowed funds offset by the competitive interest rate pressure of lending.

Provision 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 by management to be 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 general, specific, qualitative and unallocated components. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as watch, other assets especially mentioned, substandard, doubtful or loss. For such loans they may also be classified as impaired or restructured. For loans that are further 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. 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 and/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 or there is a possible loss expected.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, management has provisioned for loan losses of $130 thousand, as compared to $165 thousand, for the same period ended March 31, 2011. In the first three months of 2012, prior year interest in the amount of $3 thousand was charged off on three loans when the loans were placed on non-accrual. There were no principal charge-offs on loans, however principal in the amount of $4 thousand was recovered on one loan. The allowance for loan losses is $4.3 million as of March 31, 2012, which is 1.00% of outstanding loans, compared to $3.8 million or 1.00% of outstanding loans as of March 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses of $4.2 million represented 1.00% of total outstanding loans. Based principally on economic conditions, asset quality, and loan-loss experience, including that of comparable institutions in the Bank’s market area, the allowance is believed to be adequate to absorb any losses inherent in the portfolio. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate, or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. The Bank has not participated in any sub-prime lending activity.

Table of Contents

The activity in the allowance for loan losses is shown in the following table, as well as period end loans receivable and the allowance for loan losses as a percent of the total loan portfolio:

Allowance for loan losses to loans receivable at end of period		1.00	%		1.00	%

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income was $283 thousand for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 compared to $322 thousand for the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to the loss incurred on the sale of other real estate owned and the impairment on other real estate owned, offset by the growth in the Bank’s credit card and merchant processing customer base.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses increased $182 thousand or 6% from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $3.4 million for the same period ended March 31, 2012. The increase is due to: an increase of $98 thousand in salary and employee benefits, the majority of which are in conjunction with increased branch staffing and salary adjustments; an increase of $32 thousand in credit card expense due to an increase in volume; an increase of $48 thousand in occupancy and equipment; an increase of $52 thousand in data processing; an increase of $23 thousand in charitable contributions; an increase of $27 thousand in professional services, an increase of $4 thousand in loan and real estate expenses and an increase in other operating expenses of $4 thousand; offset by a decrease of $4 thousand advertising expense, a decrease of $86 thousand in insurance expense and a decrease of $16 thousand in other real estate owned expenses.

A breakdown of other expenses can be found in the statements of income.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $427 thousand, or 26.7% of income before taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $436 thousand, or 28.1%. The decrease in the tax rate is a result of an increase in tax-free investments and loans, offset to a lesser extent by an increase in taxable loans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The Bank’s securities portfolio continues to be 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 Bank 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. Investment securities consist primarily of U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC or FNMA, corporate bonds, and taxable and non taxable municipal bonds. The Bank holds no high-risk securities or derivatives as of March 31, 2012. The Bank has not made any investments in non-U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities or sub-prime loans.

Table of Contents

Total securities at March 31, 2012 were $99.5 million compared to $92.1 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in the investment portfolio is the result of purchases of Municipal and U.S. GSEs, offset by principal payments on U.S. GSEs. The carrying value of the securities portfolio as of March 31, 2012 includes a net unrealized gain of $3.7 million, which is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity net of income tax effect. This compares to a net unrealized gain of $3.6 million at December 31, 2011. The current unrealized gain position of the securities portfolio is due to the changes in market rates since December 31, 2011. No securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Restricted investments in bank stock consists of FHLB stock and ACBB 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. The Company had $1.5 million of FHLB stock and $40 thousand of ACBB stock as of March 31, 2012.

In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock, and any future capital stock repurchases will be made on a quarterly basis if conditions warrant such purchases. During 2012 and 2011, FHLB of Pittsburgh conducted a limited excess capital stock repurchase based upon positive net income results. In connection with this program, the Bank had stock at a carrying value of $80 thousand repurchased during the three month period ended March 31, 2012, and $98 thousand repurchased during the same period in 2011. Any future capital stock repurchases are expected to be made on a quarterly basis if conditions warrant such repurchases.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 942, “Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others.” 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.

Based upon its evaluation of the foregoing criteria, management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB or ACBB restricted stock as of March 31, 2012.

Loans

The loan portfolio comprises a major component of the Bank’s earning assets. All of the Bank’s loans are to domestic borrowers. Total net loans at March 31, 2012 increased $12.8 million to $431.9 million from $419.1 million at December 31, 2011. The loan to deposit ratio decreased slightly from 87.0% at December 31, 2011 to 82.1% at March 31, 2012. The Bank’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2012 was comprised of residential real estate and consumer loans of $219.1 million, an increase of $7.6 million from December 31, 2011, and commercial loans of $217.4 million, an increase of $5.3 million from December 31, 2011. The Bank has not originated, nor does it intend to originate, sub-prime mortgage loans.

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

The allowance for loan losses increased $130 thousand to $4.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $4.2 million at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.00% of total loans. Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, the perceived credit risk in the portfolio and loan-loss experience of comparable institutions in the Bank’s market area, management feels the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2012, aggregate balances on non-performing loans equaled $11.0 million compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2011 and $6.4 million at March 31, 2011, representing 2.52%, 2.22% and 1.68% of total loans at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings, included in the following table, represent loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. There were no loans classified as a TDR within the prior twelve months that experienced a payment default (loans ninety or more days past due) during the three months ending March 31, 2012. The Company has one foreclosed asset in the amount of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2012, as compared to two foreclosed assets at December 31, 2011 in the amount of $3.4 million. The net change is a result of the sale of one asset with a write-down of $9 thousand and net proceeds of $310 thousand, along with a $100 thousand write-down on the remaining foreclosed asset. The details for non-performing loans are included in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Premises and Equipment

Company premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased $157 thousand from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. This increase is due primarily to the leasehold improvements placed in service in January 2012 due to the lease expansion addendum detailed below, offset by depreciation on existing premises and equipment.

On May 4, 2012, the Bank entered into a lease renewal and modification agreement (the “Agreement”) with Red Bird Associates, LLC (“Red Bird”) providing for an extension of the term of the lease of the Bank’s principal office located at 100 Gateway Drive in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (the “Lease”). The agreement provides for an additional five year term. The new term continues through February 28, 2017 and is subject to a 2.0% increase on March 1 of each year. The agreement further provides coterminous terms and options to the original lease agreement for Suite 100, the first lease expansion agreement for Suite 200, and the second lease expansion addendum for Suite 210 of the Gateway office building. As disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 27, 2012, Red Bird is a real estate holding company owned by six Directors of the Company, as well as Judith A. Hunsicker, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer. Prior to its execution, the terms of the Agreement, including the rental amount, were determined by a majority of the disinterested Directors to be no less favorable to the Bank than the terms then prevailing in the relevant market.

Deposits

Total deposits at March 31, 2012 increased $44.1 million to $525.9 million from $481.8 million at December 31, 2011. Savings deposits increased by $34.7 million and demand deposits increased by $19.8 million, while time deposits decreased $9.9 million. The significant growth in savings and demand deposits is attributed to successful promotions, as well as migration from time deposits.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents 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, and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents were $66.9 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $46.1 million at December 31, 2011.

Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from the investment security and loan portfolios. Long-term liquidity needs may be met by selling unpledged securities available for sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $99.5 million of available for sale securities. Securities with carrying values of approximately $41.5 million and $47.7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, public deposits, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Bank also has borrowing capacity with the FHLB of approximately $201.5 million, of which $7.9 million was outstanding in long-term loans at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. This borrowing capacity with the FHLB includes a line of credit for $25 million, of which there is no balance outstanding as of March 31, 2012. All of the long-term loans mature in 2013. There were no short-term advances outstanding at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

The Bank also has a line of credit with ACBB of approximately $6.0 million, of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2012. Advances from this line are unsecured.

The Company has two lines of credit totaling an aggregate of $10 million with Univest, of which an aggregate of $5.1 million was outstanding at March 31, 2012. These lines of credit are secured by 833,333 shares of Bank common stock.

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 capital resources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s consolidated 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 off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and commitments, as well as lines of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These unused commitments totaled $79.3 million at March 31, 2012. The Company also has letters of credit outstanding of $4.4 million at March 31, 2012. 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 is of the opinion that the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its anticipated needs.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

Total stockholders’ equity was $45.6 million as of March 31, 2012, representing a net increase of $1.3 million from December 31, 2011. The increase in capital was a result of the net income of $1.2 million and the increase in unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities of $62 thousand, the exercise of stock options totaling $3 thousand, compensation expense recognized on stock options in the amount of $5 thousand and $56 thousand attributable to issuance of stock grants.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The regulations require that banks maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). As of March 31, 2012, the Bank met the minimum requirements. In addition, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in the regulations.

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

	March 31,			December 31,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars In Thousands)

Tier I, common stockholders' equity	$	47,785		$	46,648
Tier II, allowable portion of allowance for loan losses		4,346			4,215

Total capital	$	52,131		$	50,863

Tier I risk based capital ratio		12.9	%		12.7	%

Total risk based capital ratio		14.1	%		13.8	%

Tier I leverage ratio		7.9	%		8.3	%

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

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 I 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 II 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 I 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 following table provides the Company’s risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars In Thousands)

Tier I, common stockholders' equity	$	43,179		$	41,945
