Forward-Looking
Statements
The U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor in regard
to the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this document and documents
incorporated by reference. Forward-looking statements pertain to
possible or assumed future results that are made using current
information. These forward-looking statements are generally
identified when terms such as; “believe,” “estimate,”
“anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “forecast,” and other
similar wordings are used. The readers of this report should take
into consideration that these forward-looking statements represent management’s
expectations as to future forecasts of financial performance, or the likelihood
that certain events will or will not occur. Due to the very nature of
estimates or predictions these forward-looking statements should not be
construed to be indicative of actual future
results. Additionally, management may change estimates of
future performance, or the likelihood of future events as additional information
is obtained. This document may also address targets, guidelines, or
strategic goals that management is striving to reach but may not be indicative
of actual results.
Readers
should note that many factors affect this forward-looking information, some of
which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that we
incorporate by reference into this document. These factors include,
but are not limited to the following:
·
|
Monetary
and interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board
(“FRB”)
|
·
|
Economic
conditions
|
·
|
Political
changes and their impact on new laws and
regulations
|
·
|
Competitive
forces
|
·
|
Management’s
ability to manage credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and
fair value risk
|
·
|
Operation,
legal, and reputation risk
|
·
|
The
risk that our analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or
that the strategies developed to address them could be
unsuccessful
|
Readers
should be aware if any of the above factors change significantly, the statements
regarding future performance could also change materially. The safe
harbor provision provides that ENB Financial Corp is not required to publicly
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
that arise after the date of this report. Readers should review any
changes in risk factors in documents filed by ENB Financial Corp periodically
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Item 1A. of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form
8-K.
Item 1. Business
General
ENB
Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) is a bank holding company formed on July 1,
2008. The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ephrata National
Bank (the “Bank”), is a full service commercial bank organized under the laws of
the United States. Presently, no other subsidiaries exist under the
bank holding company. The Corporation and the Bank are both
headquartered in Ephrata, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Bank
was incorporated in 1881 pursuant to the United States National Bank Act under a
charter granted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(“OCC”). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures
deposit accounts to the maximum extent provided by law. The Corporation’s
retail, operational, and administrative offices are all located in northern
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the Corporation’s primary market
area.
The basic
business of the Corporation is to provide a broad range of financial services to
individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in Northern Lancaster County
and surrounding market areas. The Corporation utilizes funds gathered through
deposits from the general public to originate loans. The Corporation offers
time, demand, and savings deposits and secured and unsecured commercial, real
estate, and consumer loans. Ancillary services that provide added convenience
for our customers include direct deposit and direct payments of funds through
Electronic Funds Transfer, ATMs linked to the Star ™ network, telephone and
internet banking, MasterCard™ debit cards, Visa™ or MasterCard credit cards, and
safe deposit box facilities. The Corporation also offers a full
complement of trust and investment advisory services through the Bank’s Money
Management Group.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
As of
December 31, 2008, the Corporation employed 225 persons, consisting of 180
full-time and 45 part-time employees. The Bank’s number of full-time
employees increased by six and the number of part-time employees decreased by
twenty-seven from the previous year-end. The decline in total employees and the
shift from less part-time positions and several more full time positions was
attributable to an organizational realignment of resources that occurred during
2008, including a voluntary separation package that was offered to qualifying
employees. The organizational realignment was part of a business
process improvement initiative to improve overall organizational
efficiency. The Corporation added new positions during
2008. However, due to a significant amount of employees electing to
take the separation package, a net decrease in thirty-seven employees
occurred. A collective bargaining agent does not represent the
employees.
Operating
Segments
The
Corporation’s business is providing financial products and
services. These products and services are provided through the
Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank is
presently the only subsidiary of the Corporation, and the Bank only has one
reportable operating segment, community banking, as described in Note A of the
Notes to Financial Statements included in this Report. The segment
reporting information in Note A is incorporated by reference into this Item
1.
Business
Operations
Products and Services with
Reputation Risk
The
Corporation offers a diverse range of financial and banking products and
services. In the event one or more customers and/or governmental
agencies become dissatisfied with or object to any product or service offered by
the Bank, negative publicity with respect to any such product or service,
whether legally justified or not, could have a negative impact on the
Corporation’s reputation. The discontinuance of any product or
service, whether or not any customer or governmental agency has challenged any
such product or service, could have a negative impact on the Corporation’s
reputation.
Market Area and
Competition
The
Corporation’s primary market area is northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania;
however, the Corporation’s market area also extends into contiguous Berks,
Lebanon and Chester Counties. The area served by the Corporation is a
mix of rural communities and small-to mid-sized towns. The
Corporation’s service area is located just south of the Pennsylvania turnpike
between the greater metropolitan areas of Philadelphia and Harrisburg and the
smaller cities of Reading and Lancaster. Lancaster County ranks high nationally
as a favored place to reside due to its scenic farmland, low-cost of living,
diversity of the local economy, and proximity to large cities. As a result, the
area is experiencing strong population growth and development.
In the
course of attracting and retaining deposits, and originating loans, the
Corporation faces considerable competition. The Corporation competes
with other commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, and credit unions
for traditional banking products, such as deposits and
loans. Additionally, the Corporation competes with consumer finance
companies for loans, mutual funds, and other investment alternatives for
deposits. The Corporation competes for deposits based on the ability
to provide a range of products, low fees, quality service, competitive rates,
convenient locations and hours. The competition for loan origination
generally relates to interest rates offered, products available, quality of
service, and loan origination fees charged. Several competitors within the
Corporation’s primary market have substantially higher legal lending limits that
enable them to service larger loans.
The
Corporation continues to assess the competition and market area to determine the
best way to meet the financial needs of the communities it
serves. Management strategically addresses these competitive issues
by determining the new products and services to be offered as well as investing
in the expertise of staffing for expansion of the Corporation’s
services.
Concentrations and
Seasonality
The
Corporation does not have any portion of its businesses dependent on a single or
limited number of customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse
effect on its businesses. No substantial portion of loans or
investments is concentrated within a single industry or group of related
industries, although a significant amount of
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
loans are
secured by real estate located in northern Lancaster County of
Pennsylvania. The business activities of the Corporation are not
seasonal in nature. Financial instruments with concentrations of
credit risk are described in Note P of the Notes to Financial Statements
included in this Report. The concentration of credit risk information
in Note P is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.
Supervision
and Regulation
General
Overview
Bank
holding companies operate in a highly regulated environment and are regularly
examined by federal and state regulatory authorities. The following discussion
concerns various federal and state laws and regulations and the potential impact
of such laws and regulations on the Corporation and the Bank.
To the
extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory
provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular
statutory or regulatory provisions themselves. Proposals to change
laws and regulations are frequently introduced in Congress, the state
legislatures, and before the various bank regulatory agencies. The
Corporation cannot determine the likelihood or timing of any such proposals or
legislation, or the impact they may have on the Corporation and the
Bank. A change in law, regulations, or regulatory policy may have a
material effect on the Corporation and the Bank’s business.
The
operations of the Bank are subject to federal and state statutes applicable to
banks chartered under the banking laws of the United States, to members of the
Federal Reserve System, and to banks whose deposits are insured by the
FDIC. Bank operations are subject to regulations of the OCC, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC.
Supervision
and Regulation of the Corporation
The Holding Company Act of
1956.
On the
day of the reorganization, the Corporation became subject to the provisions of
the Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to supervision by the Federal
Reserve Board. The following restrictions apply:
|
·
|
General Supervision by the
Federal Reserve Board. As a bank holding company, our
activities are limited to the business of banking and activities closely
related or incidental to banking. Bank holding companies are
required to file periodic reports with and are subject to examination by
the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has
adopted a risk-focused supervision program for small shell bank holding
companies that is tied to the examination results of the subsidiary
bank. The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations under
the Bank Holding Company Act that require a bank holding company to serve
as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary
banks. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board may require that
the Corporation stand ready to provide adequate capital funds to Ephrata
National Bank during periods of financial stress or
adversity.
|
|
·
|
Restrictions on Acquiring
Control of Other Banks and Companies. A bank holding
company may not:
|
|
o
|
acquire
direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of
any class of voting stock, or substantially all of the assets of, any
bank, or
|
|
o
|
merge
or consolidate with another bank holding company, without prior approval
of the Federal Reserve Board.
|
In
addition, a bank holding company may not:
|
o
|
engage
in a non-banking business, or
|
|
o
|
acquire
ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any
class of voting stock of any company engaged in a non-banking
business,
|
unless
the Federal Reserve Board determines the business to be so closely related to
banking as to be a proper incident to banking. In making this
determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
these
activities offer benefits to the public that outweigh any possible adverse
effects.
|
·
|
Anti-Tie-In
Provisions. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries
may not engage in tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit or provision of any property or services. These
anti-tie-in provisions state generally that a bank may
not:
|
|
o
|
extend
credit,
|
|
o
|
lease
or sell property, or
|
|
o
|
furnish
any service to a customer
|
on the
condition that the customer provides additional credit or service to a bank or
its affiliates, or on the condition that the customer not obtain other credit or
service from a competitor of the bank.
|
·
|
Restrictions on Extensions of
Credit by Banks to their Holding Companies. Subsidiary
banks of a holding company are also subject to restrictions imposed by the
Federal Reserve Act on:
|
|
o
|
any
extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries,
|
|
o
|
investments
in the stock or other securities of the Corporation,
and
|
|
o
|
taking
these stock or securities as collateral for loans to any
borrower.
|
|
·
|
Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines. Bank holding companies must comply with the
Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines. The
required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, including
some 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, less certain
intangible assets. The remainder, Tier II Capital, may
consist of:
|
|
o
|
some
types of preferred stock,
|
|
o
|
a
limited amount of subordinated
debt,
|
|
o
|
some
hybrid capital instruments,
|
|
o
|
other
debt securities, and
|
|
o
|
a
limited amount of the general loan loss
allowance.
|
The
risk-based capital guidelines are required to take adequate account of interest
rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and risks of nontraditional
activities.
|
·
|
Capital Leverage Ratio
Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board requires a bank
holding company to maintain a leverage ratio of a minimum level of Tier I capital, as
determined under the risk-based capital guidelines, equal to 3% of average
total consolidated assets for those bank holding companies that have the
highest regulatory examination rating and are not contemplating or
experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank
holding companies are required to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2%
above the stated minimum. The Ephrata National Bank is subject
to similar capital requirements pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act.
|
|
·
|
Restrictions on Control
Changes. The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 requires
persons seeking control of a bank or bank holding company to obtain
approval from the appropriate federal banking agency before completing the
transaction. The law contains a presumption that the power to
vote 10% or more of voting stock confers control of a bank or bank holding
company. The Federal Reserve Board is responsible for reviewing
changes in control of bank holding companies. In doing so, the
Federal Reserve Board reviews the financial position, experience and
integrity of the acquiring person and the effect the change of control
will have on the financial condition of the Corporation, relevant markets
and federal deposit insurance
funds.
|
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 or debt securities registered or that file reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer of the reporting company; (iii) standards for auditors and regulation of
audits; (iv)
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
increased
disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors
and executive officers; and (v) 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.
Permitted
Activities for Bank Holding Companies
The
Federal Reserve Board permits bank holding companies to engage in activities so
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident of banking. In 1997, the Federal Reserve Board significantly
expanded its list of permissible non-banking activities to improve the
competitiveness of bank holding companies. The following list includes
activities that a holding company may engage in, subject to change by the
Federal Reserve Board:

account or for the account of
others.

holding company - the financial holding company. To be designated as
a financial holding company, a bank holding company must file an application
with the Federal Reserve Board. The Corporation must be and remain
well capitalized and well managed, as determined by Federal Reserve Board
regulations and maintain at least a “Satisfactory” examination
rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. Once a bank holding
company becomes a financial holding company, the holding company or its
affiliates may engage in any financial activities that are financial in nature
or incidental to financial activities. Furthermore, the Federal
Reserve may approve a proposed activity if it is complementary to financial
activities and does not threaten the safety and soundness of
banking. The Act provides an initial list of activities that
constitute activities that are financial in nature, including:
|
·
|
lending
and deposit activities,
|
|
·
|
insurance
activities, including underwriting, agency and
brokerage,
|
|

Supervision
and Regulation of the Bank
Safety and
Soundness
The
primary regulator for the Bank is the OCC. The OCC has the authority
under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act to prevent a national bank from engaging in any unsafe or unsound
practice in conducting business or from otherwise conducting activities in
violation of the law.
Federal
and state banking laws and regulations govern, but are not limited to, the
following:
·
|
Scope
of a bank’s business
|
·
|
Investments
a bank may make
|
·
|
Reserves
that must be maintained against certain
deposits
|
·
|
Loans
a bank makes and collateral it
takes
|
·
|
Merger
and consolidation activities
|
·
|
Establishment
of branches
|
The Bank
is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Therefore, the policies
and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have a significant impact on many
elements of the Corporation’s operations including:
·
|
Loan
and deposit growth
|
·
|
Rate
of interest earned and paid
|
·
|
Levels
of liquidity
|
·
|
Levels
of required capital
|
Management
cannot predict the effect of changes to such policies and regulations upon the
Corporation’s business model and the corresponding impact they may have on
future earnings.
FDIC Insurance
Assessments
The FDIC
imposes a risk-related premium schedule for all insured depository institutions
that results in the assessment of premiums based on the Bank’s capital and
supervisory measures. Under the risk-related premium schedule, the
FDIC assigns, on a semiannual basis, each depository institution to one of three
capital groups, the best of these being “Well Capitalized.” For purposes of
calculating the insurance assessment, the Bank was considered “Well Capitalized”
as of December 31, 2008. This designation has benefited the Bank in
the past and continues to benefit it in terms of a lower quarterly FDIC
rate. The Bank was utilizing a one-time credit against calculated
quarterly FDIC assessments. This credit was full utilized in the
second quarter of 2008, upon which the Bank began to pay FDIC insurance
again. The FDIC adjusts the insurance rates when
necessary. For 2009 the FDIC rate increased by 140%. This
increase is designed to replenish the FDIC fund due to 2008 bank failures and to
provide for additional FDIC insurance coverage on deposit
accounts. These increases include an overall insurance increase from
$100,000 to $250,000, and unlimited insurance coverage on non-interest bearing
deposits and interest-bearing deposit balances with rates less than or equal to
0.50%. The total FDIC assessments paid by the Bank in 2008 were
$174,000.
In
addition to FDIC insurance costs, the Bank is subject to assessments to pay the
interest on Financing Corporation bonds. Congress created the
Financing Corporation to issue bonds to finance the resolution of failed thrift
institutions. These assessment rates are set
quarterly. The total Financing Corporation assessments paid by the
Bank in 2008 were $56,000.
FDIC Insurance Premium
Increase
On
February 27, 2009, the FDIC announced that it was increasing federal deposit
insurance premiums, beginning the second quarter of 2009, for well managed, well
capitalized banks to a range between 12 and 16 cents per $100 of
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
insured
deposits on an annual basis. Management anticipates the Bank’s
insurance premiums for 2009, which will be paid from earnings, to increase by
approximately $490,000, or over 215%.
The FDIC
also voted to impose a special assessment of 20 basis points on all FDIC-insured
banks to be collected on September 30, 2009. Management currently
anticipates that this special assessment will adversely affect earnings by
approximately $1,100,000 based on our current federally-insured deposit
amounts. Furthermore, the FDIC has the authority, after June 30,
2009, to impose an additional 10 basis point emergency special assessment on all
FDIC-insured banks if it estimates the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance
Fund will fall to a level that it believes would adversely affect public
confidence or to a level which would be close to zero or negative at the end of
a calendar quarter. At this time management cannot estimate the
probability of this event; however, any additional FDIC assessment and/or
premium would be adverse to our 2009 earnings.
Community Reinvestment
Act
Under the
Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), as amended, the OCC is required to assess
all financial institutions that it regulates to determine whether these
institutions are meeting the credit needs of the community that they
serve. The Act focuses specifically on low-and moderate-income
neighborhoods. The OCC takes an institution’s CRA record into account in its
evaluation of any application made by any of such institutions for, among other
things:
·
|
Approval
of a new branch or other deposit
facility
|
·
|
Closing
of a branch or other deposit
facility
|
·
|
An
office relocation or a merger
|
·
|
Any
acquisition of bank shares
|
The CRA,
as amended, also requires that the OCC make publicly available the evaluation of
a bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including
low-and moderate-income neighborhoods. This evaluation includes a descriptive
rating of either Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve, or Substantial
Noncompliance, along with a statement describing the basis for the
rating. These ratings are publicly disclosed. The Bank’s
most recent CRA rating was Outstanding.

Leverage Capital. The Capital Ratio table and financial statement
Note M – Regulatory Matters and Restrictions, are incorporated by reference
herein, from Item 8, and made a part hereof. Note M discloses capital
ratios for both the Bank and the Corporation, shown as
Consolidated.
Prompt Corrective
Action
In the
event an institution’s capital deteriorates to the Undercapitalized category or
below, FDICIA prescribes an increasing amount of regulatory intervention,
including:
·
|
Implementation
of a capital restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent
institution
|
·
|
Placement
of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches, or lines of
business
|
ENB FINANCIAL CORP
If
capital reaches the Significantly or Critically Undercapitalized level, further
material restrictions can be imposed, including restrictions on interest payable
on accounts, dismissal of management and (in critically undercapitalized
situations) appointment of a receiver. For well-capitalized
institutions, FDICIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where they
deem the institution to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, or if the
institution receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for
asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, or sensitivity to market
risk.
Regulation
O
Regulation
O, also known as Loans to Insiders, governs the permissible lending
relationships between a bank and its Executive Officers, Directors, and
Principal Shareholders and their related interests. The primary
restriction of Regulation O is that loan terms and conditions, including
interest rates and collateral coverage, can be no more favorable to the insider
than loans made in comparable transactions to non-covered
parties. Additionally, the loan may not involve more than normal
risk. The regulation requires quarterly reporting to regulators of
the total amount of credit extended to insiders.
Under
Regulation O, a bank is not required to obtain approval from the bank’s Board of
Directors prior to making a loan to an executive officer, as long as a first
lien on the executive officer’s residence secures the loan. Further
amendments allow bank insiders to take advantage of preferential loan terms that
are available to substantially all employees. Regulation O does
permit an insider to participate in a plan that provides more favorable credit
terms than the bank provides to non-employee customers provided that the
plan:
·
|
Is
widely available to employees
|
·
|
Does
not give preference to any insider over other
employees
|
The Bank
has a policy in place that offers general employees more favorable loan terms
than those offered to non-employee customers. The Bank’s policy on
loans to insiders allows insiders to participate in the same favorable rate and
terms offered to all other employees, however any loan to an insider must
receive the approval of the Bank’s Board of Directors.
Legislation and Regulatory
Changes
From time
to time, legislation is enacted that has the effect of increasing the cost of
doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities, or affecting the
competitive balance between banks and other financial
institutions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing
the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial
institutions are frequently made in Congress, and before various regulatory
agencies. No prediction can be made as to the likelihood of any major
changes or the impact such changes might have on the Corporation’s
operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for more
information.
In the
following section, certain significant enacted or proposed legislation is
discussed that either has, or will likely, impact the
Corporation. Certain legislation was enacted several years ago which
had phase in periods or requirements that only began impacting the Corporation
in 2008. Others significant legislation, like the USA Patriot Act,
was enacted several years ago and continues to be a focus of regulatory
agencies. The sub-prime crisis which became apparent in 2007, and the
broader credit crisis that followed in 2008, resulted in a number of very
historical legislative changes that occurred in late 2008, and continue to the
time of this report. This legislation, along with other legislation
currently under consideration by Congress or various regulatory or professional
agencies, is also discussed below.
New Legislation and
Regulations
The
Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (“FACT”) Act
The FACT
Act was passed by Congress in November 2003, and signed into law by the
President on December 4, 2003. The FACT Act amended the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (“FCRA”), which was originally passed in 1978. The FCRA
has been revised and amended several times since it first became law, the FACT
Act being the most recent. The purpose of the FACT Act is to require
consumer agencies, creditors, and others to implement procedures
that:
·
|
Assist
in remedying identity theft
|
·
|
Improve
consumer credit report dispute
resolution
|
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
·
|
Improve
the accuracy of consumer credit
records
|
·
|
Improve
the access to, and use of credit
reports
|
Final
rule for Section 214 of the FACT Act was published in the Federal Register on
October 30, 2007, and became effective on January 1, 2008. This section,
entitled the “Affiliate Marketing Rule,” mandates that consumers be given an
opportunity to “opt out” before a company uses information provided by an
affiliate company to market its products and services to the consumer. The final
rule prohibits the use of information obtained from the consumer’s transactions
or account relationship with an affiliate, the consumer’s application, credit
reports, or other third party sources if the consumer is not given notice,
reasonable opportunity, and a simple method to opt out of any prospective
solicitations.
Section
114, “Identity Theft Red Flags,” and Section 315, “Address Discrepancy,” final
rules were published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2007, and became
effective on January 1, 2008.
The
“Identity Theft Red Flags” rules require financial institutions to develop and
implement an Identity Theft Prevention Program to protect new and existing
accounts from risk of identity theft. Policies and procedures must be enacted to
detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft and enable financial institutions
to:
|
·
|
Identify
relevant patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that are “red
flags” signaling possible identity theft and incorporate those red flags
into their program;
|
|
·
|
Detect
red flags that have been incorporated into their
program;
|
|
·
|
Respond
appropriately to any red flags that are detected to prevent and mitigate
identity theft; and
|
|
·
|
Ensure
their program is updated periodically to reflect changes in risks from
identity theft.
|
The
“Address Discrepancy” final rules, Section 315, require financial institutions
to develop policies and procedures to assess the validity of a request for a
change of address by a credit or debit card holder that is followed closely by a
request for an additional or replacement card. These rules also require users of
consumer reports to develop policies and procedures to be used when a notice of
address discrepancy is received from a consumer reporting agency.
USA Patriot Act
President
Bush signed the USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 into law
on March 9, 2006. This enactment extended the requirements of the
original act signed into law in October of 2001.
The
rules, developed by the Secretary of the Treasury, require that the Bank have
procedures in place to:
·
|
Verify
the identity of persons applying to open an
account
|
·
|
Ensure
adequate maintenance of the records used to verify a person’s identity,
and
|
·
|
Determine
whether a person is on any U.S. governmental agency list of known or
suspected terrorists, or a terrorist
organization
|
The
regulators continue to stress the importance of the Bank Secrecy
Act. The OCC is enhancing the risk assessment requirements for
banks. These include requiring banks to report risk assessments on
bank products, customers, and geographies.
The
Corporation has implemented the required internal controls and continues to
enhance the policies, procedures, and monitoring programs to ensure proper
compliance. Many of the new provisions added by the USA Patriot Act
apply to accounts at or held by foreign banks, or accounts of or transactions
with foreign entities.
Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002
On July
30, 2002, the President signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) into
law. SOX applies to all publicly held companies, but has different
requirements and phase-in periods depending upon the market capitalization of
public companies.
Congress
determined that the primary responsibility for enacting, implementing, and
enforcement of new rules brought about by SOX would be that of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). While some provisions of
SOX became effective upon enactment on July 30, 2002, the other provisions
became effective as the
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
SEC
adopted various rules. The SOX requirements have been deferred a
number of times for the Corporation as a smaller public company and a
non-accelerated filer.
In order
to ensure greater investor confidence in corporate disclosures from public
companies, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act restricts the services that public accounting
firms can provide publicly traded companies. The Corporation does not engage the
same professional accounting firm to do both external and internal
auditing. Neither does the Corporation engage any professional
accounting firm for consulting services.
Section
404 of SOX requires publicly held companies to document and test their internal
controls that impact financial reporting and report on the
findings. External auditors also must test and report on the
effectiveness of a company’s internal controls to ensure accurate financial
reporting. Companies must report any deficiencies or material
weaknesses in their internal controls, as well as their remediation
efforts.
Accelerated
and large accelerated filers and their auditors have been required to report on
the effectiveness of internal controls in their annual reports since 2004, or
the first year of eligibility. An accelerated filer is defined as
having between $75 million and $700 million of publicly traded market
capitalization; large accelerated filers are companies with over $700 million of
publicly traded market capitalization as of the end of their second quarter. The
Corporation does not meet the definition of an accelerated filer due to having a
public equity float of approximately $61 million as of June 30,
2008.
During
2005, as the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) jointly
reviewed the 2004 annual reporting and evaluated the impact of SOX on these
accelerated filers, it was apparent that the experience was difficult and
costly, requiring more resources, people, and time than expected. The
SEC was particularly concerned about the cost and other difficulties that
smaller companies would face in preparing to implement Section
404. As a result, the requirement for non-accelerated filers to
comply with Section 404 has been delayed several times.
During
2007, the SEC issued rulings on several parts of Section 404. The
2007 SEC ruling refined the definitions of material weakness and significant
deficiencies that management would be required to disclose if determined that
such weaknesses or deficiencies existed in the internal controls over financial
reporting. Under this ruling, management must assess the effectiveness of the
Corporation’s internal control structure over financial reporting and must test
the internal control process to ensure controls are functioning as
stated. The rule also required that the independent registered public
accounting firm must attest to the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal
control structure over financial reporting. The rule was expected to
be required for financial years ending on or after December 15, 2008. It also
allowed the independent registered public accounting company to place more
reliance on the testing of internal controls over financial reporting done by
the management or the Corporation’s internal audit function. In
February 2008, the SEC proposed a rule that would extend the date for
independent auditor attestation to first be included for years ended on or after
December 15, 2009. This proposal was adopted and 2009 will be the
first year that the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm
will attest to the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control
structure.
Government
Sponsored Entities Takeover – September 7, 2008
On
September 7, 2008, the US Treasury Department took the unprecedented action of
placing the government sponsored entities (“GSE”) of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
under conservatorship. The US government effectively became the owner
of these entities by taking a priority position in the preferred stock of these
entities. The financial condition of the two GSE had declined to the point that
their survival and the backing of their mortgage backed debt was called into
question. Due to the huge amount of GSE debt held by institutions and
governments all over the world, the US Treasury Department believed taking over
the entities was the most appropriate course of action to ensure the backing of
this debt and provide support for the credit markets in general. As a
result of the government’s action, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage backed
instruments were able to hold on to an AAA rating by the major rating
services. Due to the declining financial condition of the GSE and the
September 7, 2008, action by the US Treasury Department, the Corporation sold
and took impairment on preferred Fannie Mae stock that it held. All
of the Corporation’s Fannie Mae preferred stock was sold by the end of
2008.
It is
likely the US Treasury Department will continue to hold both Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac under conservatorship until the health of these entities can be
restored and the regulatory environment that govern these entities is
strengthened to ensure their long term success.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
FDIC
Insurance Reform
President
Bush signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 on October 3,
2008. This legislation temporarily raised the federal deposit
insurance coverage limit per depositor from $100,000 to $250,000 through
2009. Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
announced the details of its Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) on
October 14, 2008. The purpose of this program is to strengthen
confidence and encourage liquidity in the nation’s banking
system. This program is composed of two components:
|
·
|
The
FDIC will guarantee certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued on
or after October 14, 2008, and before June 30, 2009, by participating
financial institutions. Financial institutions not desiring to
participate in this program had to elect to opt out of this
component. The Corporation does not issue senior unsecured debt
and therefore opted out of this feature of the
TLGP.
|
|
·
|
The
FDIC will provide full deposit insurance coverage for all of a bank’s
non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts regardless of the dollar
amount. Negotiable Order of Withdraw (NOW) accounts with
interest rates less than or equal to 0.5% and Interest on Lawyer Trust
Accounts (IOLTA) are also covered by this extended
coverage. This guarantee is temporary, expiring on December 31,
2009. This component of the TLGP requires a bank to disclose to
its customers if it is or is not participating in the
program. A participating bank is required to give a second
disclosure to customers who have an agreement that sweeps money form a
non-interest bearing transaction account to an interest bearing account or
non-transaction account. This disclosure must inform the
customer that a transfer to an interest bearing account could decrease the
customer’s FDIC deposit insurance
coverage.

Capital
Purchase Program of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008
When the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 was passed on October 3,
2008, with $700 billion of funding, the initial focus of the act was to provide
rapid relief to the banking and finance industry by purchasing troubled assets,
primarily mortgage related debt. The Troubled Asset Relief Program
(“TARP”) was developed to purchase sub-prime debt and other impaired mortgage
backed instruments. Due to the rapidly declining health of large
banks, brokerage houses, and insurance companies, the initial focus of the
government purchasing troubled mortgage backed instruments was quickly changed
to direct capital injections into the largest banks, and later regional and
larger community banks. While TARP was the standard phrase for banks
receiving US Treasury funding, the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) was actually
the program established for the US Treasury to invest in the nations banks by
taking a senior cumulative preferred stock position. Under the CPP
the US Treasury would hold the preferred stock for five years, receiving a 5%
dividend during this period. The U.S. Treasury has the option to
redeem the preferred stock after three years, in which case the government
ownership would be transferred to other preferred equity holders or the
preferred shares would be eliminated. After five years the dividend
rate on the preferred stock increases to 9%. In an effort to provide
confidence to the banking system the government required the nation’s largest
banks to participate in the CCP. Beyond the largest banks, other
regional and community bank could apply to receive capital under the
CPP. Financial institutions had to evaluate their need for additional
capital, and the attractiveness of the initial dividend rate, with the many
strings attached to the program. Many institutions did not have
provisions for preferred stock in their equity structure and applied on a
deferred basis until preferred shares could be authorized. Besides
adding additional preferred stock to the equity structure, the cost of the
capital, and the element of government ownership, there are other restrictions
in the plan involving increases to dividends and restrictions on stock
repurchases that management did not believe were aligned with the Corporation’s
strategic plan. The Corporation is considered “Well Capitalized”
under regulatory standards and compares vary favorably to the peer group in
total and regulatory capital and as such management elected not to participate
in the CPP.
American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
On
February 18, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The historical $789 billion economic
recovery package is intended to stem the decline in the US
economy. About 35% of the plan is dedicated to tax cuts for
businesses and individuals, including payroll tax credits, first time home buyer
credits, and tax breaks on new car loan interest and sales tax. The
remainder of the package is spending related, including construction of highways
and bridges, water and waste water treatment facilities, and high speed internet
services. Spending plans also include health and human services
initiatives such as expanded unemployment benefits, food stamps, and subsidies
for health insurance. Due to the magnitude of this wide sweeping
legislation, the package will undoubtedly impact nearly all segments of the
economy and will in turn
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
impact
the financial industry. At the time of this report, Management is
unable to determine whether this legislation will have a material impact on the
Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
Ongoing
Legislation
As a
consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the
United States, the Corporation’s business is particularly susceptible to changes
in the federal and state legislation and regulations. Over the course
of time, various federal and state proposals for legislation could result in
additional regulatory and legal requirements for the
Corporation. Management cannot predict if any such legislation will
be adopted, or if adopted, how it would affect the business of the
Corporation. Past history has demonstrated that new legislation or
changes to existing legislation usually results in a heavier compliance burden
and generally increases the cost of doing business.

Item 1A.
Risk
Factors
An
investment in the Corporation’s common stock is subject to risks inherent to the
banking industry and the equity markets. The material risks and uncertainties
that management believes affect the Corporation are described below. Before
making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and
uncertainties described below together with all of the other information
included or incorporated by reference in this report. The risks and
uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the
Corporation. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is
not aware of or is not focused on, or currently deems immaterial may also impair
the Corporation’s business operations. This report is qualified in
its entirety by these risk factors.
If any of
the following risks actually occur, the Corporation’s financial condition and
results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were
to happen, the value of the Corporation’s common stock could decline
significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks
Related To The Corporation’s Business:
The
Corporation Is Subject To Interest Rate Risk
The
Corporation’s earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net
interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income
earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and interest
expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed
funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
many
factors that are beyond the Corporation’s control, including general economic
conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies,
particularly, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Changes in
monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only
the interest the Corporation receives on loans and securities but also the
amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings. Changes in
interest rates could also affect:
·
|
The
Corporation’s ability to originate loans and obtain
deposits
|
·
|
The
fair value of the Corporation’s financial assets and
liabilities
|
·
|
The
average duration of the Corporation’s assets and
liabilities
|
·
|
The
future liquidity of the Corporation
|
If the
interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate
than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, the
Corporation’s net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely
affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates
received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest
rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Although
management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management
strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the
Corporation’s results of operations, any substantial, unexpected, prolonged
change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
The
Corporation Is Subject To Lending Risk
There are
inherent risks associated with the Corporation’s lending activities. These risks
include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes
in the economic conditions in the markets where the Corporation operates as well
as those across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States.
Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely
impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the
collateral securing these loans. The Corporation is also subject to various laws
and regulations that affect its lending activities. Failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations could subject the Corporation to regulatory
enforcement action that could result in the assessment of significant civil
money penalties against the Corporation.
As of
December 31, 2008, 40.4% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio consisted of
commercial, industrial, and construction loans secured by real
estate. Another 17.4% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio consisted
of commercial loans not secured by real estate. These types of loans
are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate
loans or consumer loans. These types of loans are also typically larger than
residential real estate loans and consumer loans. Because the Corporation’s loan
portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and industrial,
construction and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances,
the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant
increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could
result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision
for possible loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and
results of operations.
The
Corporation’s Allowance For Possible Loan Losses May Be
Insufficient
The
Corporation maintains an allowance for possible loan losses, which is a reserve
established through a provision for possible loan losses, charged to expense,
which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been
incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment
of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks
inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance reflects management’s
continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan
loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and
regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan
portfolio. Determining the appropriate level of the allowance for possible loan
losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the
Corporation to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future
trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic
conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans,
identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and
outside of the Corporation’s control, may require an increase in the allowance
for possible loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically
review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require an increase
in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan
charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition,
if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
for
possible loan losses; the Corporation will need additional provisions to
increase the allowance for possible loan losses. Any increases in the allowance
for possible loan losses will result in a decrease in net income, and may have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of
operations.
The
Corporation Is Subject To Environmental Liability Risk Associated With Lending
Activities
A
significant portion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is secured by real
property. During the ordinary course of business, the Corporation may foreclose
on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a
risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If
hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Corporation may be liable for
remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage.
Environmental laws may require the Corporation to incur substantial expenses and
may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Corporation’s
ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more
stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws
may increase the Corporation’s exposure to environmental liability. Although the
Corporation has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review
before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not
be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation
costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental
hazard could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial
condition and results of operations.
The
Corporation’s Profitability Depends Significantly On Economic Conditions In The
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
The
Corporation’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and more specifically, the local markets in
which the Corporation operates. Unlike larger national or other regional banks
that are more geographically diversified, the Corporation provides banking and
financial services to customers primarily located in Lancaster County, as well
as Berks, Chester and Lebanon Counties. The local economic conditions
in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for the Corporation’s
products and services as well as the ability of the Corporation’s customers to
repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the
Corporation’s deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic
conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of
hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment,
changes in securities markets or other factors could impact these local economic
conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s
financial condition and results of operations.
The
Corporation Operates In a Highly Competitive Industry and Market
Area
The
Corporation faces substantial competition in all areas of its operations from a
variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more
financial resources. Such competitors primarily include national, regional, and
community banks within the various markets the Corporation operates.
Additionally, various out-of-state banks have begun to enter or have announced
plans to enter the market areas in which the Corporation currently operates. The
Corporation also faces competition from many other types of financial
institutions, including, without limitation, online banks, savings and loans,
credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, and
other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become
even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological
changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and
insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company,
which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking,
securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant
banking. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for
non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such
as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of the Corporation’s
competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost
structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to
achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of
products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services
than the Corporation can.
The
Corporation’s ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors,
including, among other things:
·
|
The
ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer
relationships based on quality service, high ethical standards, and safe,
sound management practices.
|
·
|
The
ability to expand the Corporation’s market
position.
|
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
·
|
The
scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet
customer needs and demands.
|
·
|
The
rate at which the Corporation introduces new products and services
relative to its competitors.
|
·
|
Customer
satisfaction with the Corporation’s level of
service.
|
·
|
Industry
and general economic trends.
|
Failure
to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken the Corporation’s
competitive position, which could adversely affect the Corporation’s growth and
profitability and have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial
condition and results of operations.
The
Corporation Is Subject To Extensive Government Regulation and
Supervision
The
Corporation is
subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking
regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit
insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These
regulations affect the Corporation’s lending practices, capital structure,
investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other
things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review
banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes
to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in
interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could
affect the Corporation in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could
subject the Corporation to additional costs, limit the types of financial
services and products the Corporation may offer and/or increase the ability of
non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other
things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in
sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation
damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s
business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Corporation
has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can
be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
The
Corporation’s Controls and Procedures May Fail or Be Circumvented
Management
regularly reviews and updates the Corporation’s internal controls, disclosure
controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any
system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on
certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances
that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of the
Corporation’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations
related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the
Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial
condition.
New
Lines of Business or New Products and Services May Subject the Corporation to
Additional Risks
From time
to time, the Corporation may implement new lines of business or offer new
products and services within existing lines of business. There are substantial
risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances
where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines
of business and/or new products and services the Corporation may invest
significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and
development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be
achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External
factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, and
shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a
new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of
business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the
effectiveness of the Corporation’s system of internal controls. Failure to
successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new
lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse
effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The
Corporation’s Ability to Pay Dividends Depends on Earnings and is Subject to
Regulatory Limits.
The
Corporation’s ability to pay dividends is also subject to its profitability,
financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow
requirements. Dividend payments are subject to legal and regulatory
limitations, generally based on net profits and retained earnings, imposed by
the various banking regulatory agencies. There is no assurance that
the Corporation will have sufficient earnings to be able to pay dividends or
generate adequate cash flow to pay dividends in the future. The Corporation’s
failure to pay dividends on its common stock could have a material adverse
effect on the market price of its common stock.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
Future
Acquisitions May Disrupt the Corporation’s Business and Dilute Stockholder
Value
The
Corporation may use its common stock to acquire other companies or make
investments in Corporations and other complementary businesses. The Corporation
may issue additional shares of common stock to pay for future acquisitions,
which would dilute the ownership interest of current shareholders of the
Corporation. Future business acquisitions could be material to the Corporation,
and the degree of success achieved in acquiring and integrating these businesses
into the Corporation could have a material effect on the value of the
Corporation’s common stock. In addition, any acquisition could require the
Corporation to use substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt. In
those events, the Corporation could become more susceptible to economic
downturns and competitive pressures.
The
Corporation May Not Be Able To Attract and Retain Skilled People
The
Corporation’s success highly depends on its ability to attract and retain key
people. Competition for the best people in most activities engaged in by the
Corporation can be intense and the Corporation may not be able to hire people or
to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of the
Corporation’s key personnel could have a material adverse impact on the
Corporation’s business because of their skills, knowledge of the Corporation’s
market, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding
qualified replacement personnel. The Corporation does not currently have
employment agreements or non-competition agreements with any of its senior
officers.
The
Corporation’s Information Systems May Experience an Interruption or Breach in
Security
The
Corporation relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct
its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems
could result in failures or disruptions in the Corporation’s customer
relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While
the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the
effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information
systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or
security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be
adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security
breaches of the Corporation’s information systems could damage the Corporation’s
reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Corporation to
additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose the Corporation to civil litigation
and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of
operations.
The
Corporation Continually Encounters Technological Change
The
financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change
with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The
effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial
institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. The Corporation’s
future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its
customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy
customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in the
Corporation’s operations. Many of the Corporation’s competitors have
substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. The
Corporation may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven
products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services
to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change
affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact
on the Corporation’s business, the Corporation’s financial condition, and
results of operations.
The
Corporation Is Subject To Claims and Litigation Pertaining To Fiduciary
Responsibility
From time
to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to the
Corporation’s performance of its fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer
claims and legal action related to the Corporation’s performance of its
fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal
actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Corporation they may
result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market
perception of the Corporation and its products and services as well as impact
customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or
reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s
business, financial condition, and results of operations.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
Other
Events:
Natural
Disasters, Acts Of War Or Terrorism and Other External Events Could
Significantly Impact The Corporation’s Business
Severe
weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external
events could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s ability to conduct
business. Such events could affect the stability of the Corporation’s deposit
base; impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the
value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in
loss of revenue and/or cause the Corporation to incur additional expenses.
Severe weather or natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, or other adverse
external event, may occur in the future. Although management has established
disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event
could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Risks
Associated With The Corporation’s Common Stock:
The
Corporation’s Stock Price Can Be Volatile
Stock
price volatility may make it more difficult for shareholders to resell their
shares of common stock when they desire and at prices they find attractive. The
Corporation’s stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety
of factors including, among other things:
•
|
Actual
or anticipated variations in quarterly results of
operations.
|
•
|
Recommendations
by securities analysts.
|
•
|
Operating
and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem
comparable to the
Corporation.
|
•
|
News
reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial
services industry.
|
•
|
Perceptions
in the marketplace regarding the Corporation and/or its
competitors.
|
•
|
New
technology used, or services offered, by
competitors.
|
•
|
Significant
acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint
ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Corporation or its
competitors.
|
•
|
Changes
in government regulations.
|
•
|
Geopolitical
conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military
conflicts.
|
General
market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political
conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate
changes or credit loss trends, could also cause the Corporation’s stock price to
decrease regardless of operating results.
The
Trading Volume In The Corporation’s Common Stock Is Less Than That Of Other
Larger Financial Services Companies
The
Corporation’s common stock is listed for trading on the Over the Counter
Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange. The trading volume in its common
stock is a fraction of that of other larger financial services companies. A
public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and
orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and
sellers of the Corporation’s common stock at any given time. This presence
depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market
conditions over which the Corporation has no control. Given the lower trading
volume of the Corporation’s common stock, significant sales of the Corporation’s
common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the Corporation’s
stock price to fall.
An
Investment In The Corporation’s Common Stock Is Not An Insured
Deposit
The
Corporation’s common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured
against loss by the Federal Deposit Insurance Bank (FDIC), any other deposit
insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in the
Corporation’s common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this
“Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same
market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result,
an investor of the Corporation’s common stock may lose some or all of their
investment.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
The
Corporation’s Articles Of Association, Bylaws and Shareholders Rights Plan
As Well As Certain Banking Laws May Have An Anti-Takeover Effect
Provisions
of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, federal banking laws,
including regulatory approval requirements, and the Corporation’s stock purchase
rights plan, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the
Corporation, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to the
Corporation’s shareholders. The combination of these provisions effectively
inhibits a non-negotiated merger or other business combination that could
adversely affect the market price of the Corporation’s common
stock.
Risks
Associated With The Corporation’s Industry:
The
Corporation operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely
affected by changes in federal, state and local laws and
regulations.
The
Corporation is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by
federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or
federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on the
Corporation and its operations. Additional legislation and regulations that
could significantly affect the Corporation’s powers, authority and operations
may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators
have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound
practices or violations of laws by banks and bank holding companies in the
performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of
regulatory authority may have a negative impact on the Corporation’s results of
operations and financial condition.
Like
other bank holding companies and financial institutions, the Corporation must
comply with significant anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws. Under
these laws, the Corporation is required, among other things, to enforce a
customer identification program and file currency transaction and suspicious
activity reports with the federal government. Government agencies have
substantial discretion to impose significant monetary penalties on institutions,
which fail to comply with these laws or make required reports.
The
Earnings of Financial Services Companies Are Significantly Affected By General
Business And Economic Conditions
The
Corporation’s operations and profitability are impacted by general business and
economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include
short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political
issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity
capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, and the strength of the
U.S. economy and the local economies in which the Corporation operates, all
of which are beyond the Corporation’s control. Deterioration in economic
conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing
assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for the
Corporation’s products and services, among other things, any of which could have
a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results
of operations.
Financial
Services Companies Depend On the Accuracy and Completeness of Information about
Customers and Counterparties
In
deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, the
Corporation may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and
counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other
financial information. The Corporation may also rely on representations of those
customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors,
as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate
or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial
information could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business
and, in turn, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of
operations.
ENB FINANCIAL
CORP
Consumers
May Decide Not To Use Banks to Complete Their Financial
Transactions
Technology
and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that
historically have involved banks through alternative methods. For example,
consumers can now maintain funds that would have historically been held as bank
deposits in brokerage accounts or mutual funds. Consumers can also complete
transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the
assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries, known
as “disintermediation,” could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the
loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits.
The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of
funds could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial
condition and results of operations.

Dividends
Since
1973, the Corporation has paid quarterly cash dividends on approximately March
15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of each year. Prior to
1973, dividends were paid semi-annually. The Corporation expects to
continue the practice of paying quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders;
however, future dividends are dependent upon future earnings. Certain
laws restrict the amount of dividends that may be paid to shareholders in any
given year. See Note M to the financial statements, found on page 80
of this Form 10-K filing, for information that discusses and quantifies this
regulatory restriction.
ENB
Financial Corp offers its shareholders the convenience of a Dividend
Reinvestment Plan and the direct-deposit of cash dividends. The
Dividend Reinvestment Plan gives shareholders registered with the Corporation
the opportunity to have their quarterly dividends invested automatically in
additional shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock. Shareholders who
prefer a cash dividend may have their quarterly dividends deposited directly
into a checking or savings account at their financial
institution. For additional information for either program, contact
the Stock Registrar and Dividend Paying Agent.
Purchases
The

transactions, up to 140,000 shares of outstanding common
stock. Shares repurchased are being held as treasury shares to be
utilized in connection with the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)
and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The first purchase of common
stock under this plan occurred on August 27, 2008. By December 31,
2008, a total of 32,400 shares were repurchased at a total cost of $833,000 for
an average cost per share of $25.71. It is anticipated that
management will continue to repurchase additional shares throughout
2009.

Shareholder Performance
Graph
Set forth
below is a line graph comparing the yearly change in the cumulative total
shareholder return on ENB Financial Corp’s common stock against the cumulative
total return of the Russell 2000 Index and the Mid-Atlantic Custom Peer Group
Index for the period of five fiscal years commencing January 1, 2004, and ending
December 31, 2008. The group shows that the cumulative investment
return to shareholders, based on the assumption that a $100 investment was made
on December 31, 2003, in each of the following: the Corporation’s common stock,
the Russell 2000 Index and the Mid-Atlantic Custom Peer Group Index, and that
all dividends were reinvested in those securities over the past five years, the
cumulative total return on such investment would be $91.04, $95.44, and $83.30,
respectively. The shareholder return shown on the graph below is not
necessarily indicative of future performance.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
The
following discussion and analysis represents management’s view of the financial
condition and results of the Corporation. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
financial schedules included in this annual report. The financial
condition and results presented are not indicative of future
performance.
Results
of Operations
Overview
The
Corporation recorded net income of $4,014,000 for the year ended December 31,
2008, a 20.7% decrease from the $5,063,000 earned during the same period in
2007. The 2007 net income was 6.1% higher than the 2006 net income of
$4,771,000. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $1.40 for
2008, compared to $1.77 in 2007 and $1.67 in 2006.
Two large
items negatively affected the Corporation’s 2008 net income:
|
·
|
The
Corporation recorded a total of $1,278,000 of losses related to FNMA
preferred stock during 2008. The impairment and realized loss on Federal
National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) preferred stock resulting from the
deterioration of the financial condition of FNMA, leading to a government
takeover on September 7, 2008. Losses on sale of the stock
occurred in both the third and fourth quarter of 2008 with impairment
recorded as of September 30, 2008. The Corporation sold all the
preferred stock held the investment portfolio prior to December 31, 2008,
therefore no future losses will occur related to this
investment.
|
|
·
|
The
Corporation recorded $1,222,000 of additional salary and benefit expense
related to a separation package offered to qualifying
employees. Management chose to offer the package as part of an
organizational restructuring. The organizational restructuring was one of
many recommendations that resulted from a business process improvement
engagement, based on industry standards. Management anticipates
that the Corporation will recoup the majority of this charge during 2009
in the form of a lower level of salary and benefit costs than previously
would have been experienced. The organizational restructuring
engagement was dilutive to income in 2008, because of the separation
package and costs of the engagement, but is expected to be accretive to
income in 2009 as operational efficiencies and income generation is gained
from new processes.
|
Despite
economic disruption and a rapidly changing rate environment, the Corporation’s
net interest income increased at a healthy rate of 5.4%, or $1,035,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2008, compared to the prior year. Other
income excluding the gain or loss on securities increased 16.6% or $769,000 for
2008, compared to 2007. Meanwhile, operational costs for 2008
compared to 2007 increased at a pace of 21.6%, or $3,637,000, including the
charge for the separation package. Excluding the one-time charge,
total operating expenses would have increased 14.3%. The
Corporation’s provision for loan losses expense in 2008 decreased by $777,000 or
53.7% compared to 2007.
The
financial services industry uses two primary performance measurements to gauge
performance: return on average assets (“ROA”) and return on average equity
(“ROE”). ROA measures how efficiently a bank generates income based
on the amount of assets or size of a company. ROE measures the
efficiency of a company in generating income based on the amount of equity or
capital utilized. The latter measurement typically receives more
attention from shareholders. The 2008 ROA and ROE decreased from 2007
due to the lower level of income earned in 2008 compared to 2007.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
The
results of the Corporation’s operations is best explained by addressing in
further detail the five major sections of the income statement, which are as
follows:
|
·
|
Net
interest income
|
|
·
|
Provision
for loan losses
|
|
·
|
Non-interest
income
|
|
·
|
Non-interest
expenses
|
|
·
|
Provision
for income taxes
|
The
following discussion analyzes each of these five components.
Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s operating
income. In 2008, net interest income generated nearly 80.4% of the
Corporation’s gross revenue stream, compared to 79.9% in 2007 and 84.6% in 2006.
Since net
interest income comprises a significant portion of the operating income, the
direction and rate of increase or decrease will often indicate the overall
performance of the Corporation.
The
following table shows a summary analysis of net interest income on a fully
taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis. For analytical purposes and
throughout this discussion, yields, rates, and measurements such as NII, net
interest spread, and net yield on interest earning assets are presented on a FTE
basis. The FTE net interest income shown in both tables below will
exceed the NII reported on the statements of income. The amount of
FTE adjustment totaled $1,649,000 for 2008 and $1,776,000 for both 2007 and
2006.
The
amount of the tax adjustment varies depending on the amount of income earned on
tax-free assets. Currently, the Corporation is in an alternative minimum tax
position where tax–advantaged loans and securities do not offer the benefit that
they did previously. As a result, the Corporation has discontinued
purchasing tax-free municipal securities until the Corporation resumes a normal
tax position. Therefore, the tax equivalent adjustment declined in 2008, and
will continue to decline in the next year. In addition, management
has diversified the tax-free assets and income by purchasing bank owned life
insurance (BOLI), which is included in other income rather than in net interest
income.

NII is
the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense
incurred on liabilities. Accordingly, two factors affect net interest
income:
|
·
|
The
rates charged on interest-earning assets and paid on interest-bearing
liabilities
|
|
·
|
The
average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities
|
The
Federal Funds rate, the Prime rate, and the shape of the US Treasury curve, all
affect the net interest income.
The
Federal Funds rate, which is the overnight rate that financial institutions
charge other financial institutions to buy or sell overnight funds, has declined
from 5.25% in August 2007 to 0.25% by December 31, 2008. The Federal
Funds
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
rate
declined 100 basis points in the second half of 2007, with another 400 basis
points of reductions in 2008. The rate reductions have generally had
offsetting positive and negative impacts to the Corporation’s NII.
The Prime
rate typically moves in tandem with the Federal Funds rate. The decrease in the
Federal Funds rate has reduced the cost of funds on overnight borrowings and
allowed lower interest rates paid on deposits, reducing the Corporation’s
interest expense. The decrease of the Prime rate reduced the yield on
the Corporation’s prime-based loans. Therefore, these same rate
movements had a direct negative impact on the interest income for the
Corporation. The Corporation’s fixed rate loans do not reprice
as rates change; however, with the steep decline in interest rates, more
customers have refinanced into lower fixed rate loans or moved into Prime based
loans. Management has instituted floors on certain loan instruments
and revised pricing standards to counter balance the reduction of loan yield
during this historically low rate period.
Through
most of 2007, the US Treasury curve was primarily flat. By the first
quarter of 2008, overnight and short-term funds were at significantly lower
rates than in 2007, while mid-term and long-term rates did not decline,
resulting in a positively sloped yield curve. The change in slope of
the US Treasury curve made it possible for management to grow interest-earning
assets at favorable yields. Since deposits and borrowings are
generally priced on the short-term rates while loans and securities are priced
on rates out beyond one year, the significant rate drops on the short end of the
rate curve permitted management to reduce the overall cost of funds during 2008
by repricing time deposits and borrowings to lower levels. Rates on
interest bearing core deposit accounts were also reduced during 2008, primarily
in the later half of the year. Meanwhile, management continued to
invest in securities and originate loans at longer terms, where the US Treasury
curve and market rates remained higher.
Management
anticipates that interest rates will remain at these historically low rates for
most of 2009 and possibly into 2010 because of the current economic and credit
situation. This will likely result in the US Treasury curve retaining
a significant positive slope for 2009, based on currently available economic
data. This will allow management to continue to price the vast
majority of liabilities based at lower short-term rates, while pricing loans and
investments off of the 5-year and 10-year Treasury rates that are significantly
above short-term rates. Management currently anticipates that the
Corporation’s margin will stabilize and could improve slightly in 2009 as
additional time deposits and borrowed funds reprice to lower interest
rates.
The
following table provides an analysis of year-to-year changes in net interest
income by isolating the changes in terms of changes in average balances and
changes in interest rates.

In 2008,
the Corporation’s net interest income NII on a FTE basis increased by $908,000
compared to 2007, a 4.4% increase. Total interest income for 2008
increased $814,000, or 2.3%, over 2007, while interest expense decreased by
$94,000, or 0.6%, from 2007 to 2008. The FTE interest income from the
securities portfolio increased $2,014,000, or 20.2%, while loan interest income
declined $917,000 or 3.6%. The remaining smaller other earning asset
categories also reflected declines in interest income. During most of
2008, loan demand was low and the Corporation used available liquidity generated
by deposits and additional borrowings to invest in securities; therefore, the
growth in the securities portfolio added $1,465,000 to the net interest income,
while higher available yields contributed $549,000 of the increase to net
interest income.
Loan
demand did increase marginally in the last quarter of the year, contributing
growth in loan balances, which added $948,000 to net interest
income. Decreases in loan yield offset the additional income from
loan growth, reducing net interest income by $1,865,000. In the 2008 rate
environment, management determined that the low yield on Federal Funds sold made
it less advantageous to carry extra cash; therefore, the Corporation managed
liquidity to maintain minimal Federal Funds Sold, decreasing the interest income
on Federal Funds sold by $202,000.
Interest-bearing
liabilities grew steadily throughout 2008; however, with significantly lower
interest rates, total interest expense declined slightly despite the increase in
balances. Lower rates on all deposit groups caused $1,315,000 of
savings while higher balances increased interest expense by $705,000, resulting
in net savings of $610,000. Demand deposits reprice the most rapidly
and therefore the Corporation reduced interest expense by $565,000 due to lower
rates. Time deposits balances increased especially in the second half of 2008,
when the stock market began to decline, adding $626,000 to expense, but time
deposits repricing to lower interest rates reduced interest expense by $658,000,
causing a net reduction of $32,000 in time deposit interest
expense. Historically, the Corporation has seen increases
in
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
time
deposits when the equity markets decline, as investors attempt to protect
principal. This occurred in 2008 and even with the historically low
rate environment; the Corporation was successful in increasing all deposits by
remaining competitive. As 2008 progressed, and interest rates declined, the
Corporation was able to reduce the cost of funds significantly. These rate
reductions more than compensated for the increase in deposit
balances.
The
Corporation used borrowings to supplement liquidity generated by deposits during
the year. The increase in Federal Funds purchased had almost a neutral effect,
increasing interest expense $70,000 related to increased balances, while
reducing expense $58,000 due to lower rates, for a net increase to expense of
$12,000. Long-term borrowing balances increased interest expense
$647,000, only slightly higher than the increase generated by time deposit
growth.
The
following table shows a more detailed analysis of net interest income on a FTE
basis shown with all the major elements of the Bank’s balance sheet, which
consists of interest earning and non-interest earning assets and interest
bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, the analysis
provides the net interest spread and the net yield on interest-earning
assets. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield
on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. The net interest spread has the deficiency of not giving
credit for the non-interest-bearing funds and capital used to fund a portion of
the total interest-earning assets. For this reason, management
emphasizes the net yield on interest-earning assets, also referred to as the net
interest margin (“NIM”). The NIM is calculated by dividing net
interest income on an FTE basis into total average interest-earning
assets. NIM is generally the benchmark used by analysts to measure
how efficiently a bank generates net interest income. For example, a
financial institution with a NIM of 3.75% would be able to use fewer assets and
still achieve the same level of net interest income as financial institution
with a NIM of 3.50%.

ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
The
Corporation’s interest expense increased at a slightly faster pace than the
interest income, resulting in a lower net interest margin (“NIM”) at 3.51% for
2008 compared to 3.62% for 2007. The lower NIM resulted from the rate
earned on asset decreasing at a faster pace than rates paid on
liabilities. The yield earned on assets dropped 30 basis points while
the rate paid on liabilities dropped 28 basis points. While the difference in
yield earned and rate paid is not significant alone, it becomes more of a factor
given the amount assets that repriced compared to the amount of liabilities that
repriced. Management anticipates NIM improvement in 2009 as the rate
curve remains in a steep positive slope allowing further cost savings to occur
on liabilities, while loans have essentially reached the bottom of the pricing
cycle. Prime rate decreases that have a negative impact to loan yield should be
over now that the target Federal funds rate is between 0.00% and
0.25%. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the
NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s
largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and
strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates,
please see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk.
Securities
achieved higher yields for the year 2008, compared to 2007. Some of
the securities purchased four and five years ago, when interest rates were at
40-year historically lows, have matured. The Corporation reinvested those funds
at higher rates during 2008, prior to the significant fourth quarter 2008-rate
decreases. Additionally, new purchases were made into instruments
that carried larger than traditional spreads due to the turmoil in the credit
markets. Management anticipates that further improvement on asset
yield will be difficult to achieve with a low Prime rate on variable loans and
lower US Treasury rates, combined with customer refinancing fixed rate loans to
gain favorable terms.
The rate
paid on deposits and borrowings decreased for the year ended December 31, 2008,
over the same period for 2007. Management follows a disciplined
pricing strategy on core deposit products that are not rate sensitive, meaning
that the balances do not fluctuate significantly when interest rates
change. The pricing strategy helped to manage the cost of funds by
reducing interest rate expense on savings deposits by 13 basis points and on
time deposits by 31 basis points in 2008. Management captured rate
savings on time deposits as large portions of the time deposit portfolio
repriced downward as interest rates declined. This opportunity
resulted from several converging market conditions, including uncertainty in the
stock market, local bank consolidation, and economic
turmoil. Typically, the Corporation sees increases in time deposits
during periods when consumers are not confident in the stock market and economic
conditions deteriorate. During these periods, there is a “flight to
quality” and federally insured deposits. Management believes the
Corporation benefited beyond these normal behavior patterns due to two recent
mergers in the Corporation’s immediate market area. One merger was
finalized in the fourth quarter of 2007, and the other was finalized in the
first quarter of 2008. In this environment, the Corporation is not
under normal pricing pressures. Management believes the competitive
advantage related to merger activity has subsided. The newest trend
is customers being less rate sensitive due to greater concern about the health
of the financial institution. In this regard, the Corporation has
benefited due to stronger capital and better earnings performance than several
local competitors.
The
average rate of borrowed funds decreased a moderate 29 basis points from 2007 to
2008. Several long-term borrowings matured and were refinanced at
lower interest rates. Throughout most of 2008, the fixed borrowing
rates were lower than the average rate paid on the Corporation’s existing
borrowings. The Corporation may have opportunities to decrease
borrowing costs in 2009 as additional fixed rate borrowings mature or
reprice. Additionally, the average rate on borrowings will decline
should borrowings increase and additional loans are obtained at lower
rates.
Provision
for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses provides for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as
determined by a quarterly analysis and calculation of various factors related to
the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision reflects the adjustment
management determines necessary to ensure the allowance for loan losses is
adequate to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
Corporation added $669,000 to the allowance for 2008 compared to $1,446,000 for
2007. The Corporation gives special attention to the level of delinquent
loans. The analysis of the loan loss allowance takes into
consideration, among other things, the following factors:

FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Despite
the current state of the economy, specifically the weaker housing market and
ongoing credit concerns, the Corporation has not experienced significant
increases in loan delinquencies or foreclosures. The provision for the year
ended December 31, 2008, has normalized to the usual range of $150,000 to
$200,000 per quarter. Management deems this range sufficient to
provide for the growth in the loan portfolio, as well as minor changes in credit
risk. During
2007, management charged off several large commercial loans that were determined
to be uncollectible. This action required a significant provision to
bring the allowance for loan losses back to the desired level. The Corporation
has experienced a lower amount of charged-off loans in
2008. Management continues to take a prudent stance in determining
the allowance for loan losses and has continued to increase the allowance as a
percentage of total loans, ending December 31, 2008, at 1.02%, compared to 0.95%
as of December 31, 2007.
Management
continues to evaluate the allowance for loan loss in relation to the growth of
the loan portfolio and its associated credit risk, and believes the provision
and the allowance for loan losses are adequate to provide for future loan
losses. For further discussion of the calculation, see the “Allowance for Loan
Loss” section below.
Other
Income
Other
income for 2008 was $4,907,000, an increase of $106,000 or 2.2%, compared to the

that comprise other operating income.

The most
significant variance for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same
period of 2007, was in the gain or loss on security
transactions. During 2008, the Corporation recorded losses of
$1,278,000 on the sale and impairment of Fannie Mae preferred
stock. The declining financial condition of the Government Sponsored
Entities, and the unprecedented actions taken by the United States Treasury
Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), directly resulted in a
sharp decline in the value of these preferred stocks, leading to sales and
impairment in the third quarter of 2008. Management sold all
remaining preferred stock in the fourth quarter of 2008. Other
securities sold at gains and losses partially offset the $1,278,000 loss
recorded during 2008. In 2007, the gains and losses resulted in a net
gain of $157,000. The difference of recording net realized losses of
$506,000 in 2008 compared to net realized gains of $157,000 in 2007 represents a
year over year decrease of $663,000.
Trust and
investment services revenue consists of income from traditional trust services
and income from alternative investment services provided through a third
party. In 2008, traditional trust service income remained stable
increasing $2,000. Alternative investment services income increased
$17,000, or 6.7%, over 2007 income. The amount of customer investment
activity drives the investment services income; therefore, the economic slowdown
throughout the year has diminished customer interest in investing in the equity
market. The trust and investment services area continues to be an
area of strategic focus for the Corporation. Management believes
there is a great need for retirement, estate, and small business planning in the
Corporation’s service area. Management also sees these services as
being a necessary part of a comprehensive line of financial solutions across the
organization.
Service
charges on deposit accounts for the year ending December 31, 2008, increased by
$223,000, or 18.1%, compared to 2007. Overdraft service charges for
2008, which comprise almost 90% of the total deposit service
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
charges
increased substantially to $1,300,000 in 2008 from $1,100,000 in 2007, an 18.2%
increase. The Corporation instituted new operational procedures for
posting transactions and assessing overdraft charges in the fourth quarter of
2008, which caused this increase. Management expects that overdraft
income for 2009 will also show a significant increase over 2008.
Other
fees increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, by $146,000, or 31.7%,
compared to the previous year. Loan related fees increased $144,000,
while the remaining fee income categories remained flat. The
Corporation assesses fees to customers when they amend the original terms of
their mortgage agreement, to change the length of the term, change the rate, or
both. These amendments allow customers to obtain favorable terms
without rewriting the loan however. These loan amendments do not
involve delinquent loans, or loans with collateral quality deterioration, which
are restructured loans. This type of activity was prevalent
throughout 2008 as rates decreased, causing the Corporation’s loan related fees
to increase.
The
largest component of commission income is from the Corporation’s Debit
MasterCard®. The amount of customer usage of the card at point of
sale transactions determines the level of commission income
received. The earned debit card income of $1,087,000 in 2008 is an
increase of $156,000, or 16.8%, over 2007. Customers have become more
comfortable with the use of debit cards, and they are now widely accepted by
merchants, thereby increasing the number of transactions
processed. Another large component of commission income is from
MasterCard and Visa® commission, which provided income of $165,000 for 2008, an
increase of $33,000, or 25.3%, over 2007. MasterCard and Visa
commission is the amount the Corporation earns on transactions processed through
the MasterCard and Visa systems for business customers. Management
expects both of these categories to increase as the reliance on electronic
payment systems expands.
Although
economic conditions have slowed the sale of homes and new construction
throughout 2008, the amount of mortgages originated for sale to the secondary
market was similar to 2007. Secondary mortgage financing activity
drives the gains on the sale of mortgages, which showed an increase of $5,000 or
4.2% for 2008 compared to 2007. Given the current housing market conditions,
management anticipates that gain or loss on sale of mortgages may
decline.
The
earnings on BOLI increased $163,000, or 35%, for 2008 compared to
2007. The increases in BOLI income resulted from additional BOLI
purchases that occurred in 2007. The BOLI income for 2008 reflects
the first full year of income recorded on those purchases, compared to the
partial year of income recorded last year. Management does not
foresee any further BOLI purchases in 2009; therefore, increases in BOLI income
generally result from increases in the cash surrender value. Death benefits paid
upon death that exceed the policies cash surrender value are recorded in
miscellaneous income.
The
miscellaneous income category increased $9,000, or 3.1%, for 2008 over
2007. This category had a number of offsetting increases and
decreases. Increases occurred related to a sales tax refund of
$23,000 and a death benefit over existing cash surrender value of
$12,000. Offsetting these increases was a $25,000 reduction of net
servicing fees on mortgage servicing rights due to the loss of value of the
mortgage-servicing asset.

Salaries
and employee benefits are the largest category of other expenses. In
general, they comprise more that 55% of the Corporation’s total operating
expense. For the year 2008, salaries and benefits increased
$2,199,000 or 22.7%, however $1,222,000 of the increase related to a separation
package offered to a specific group of employees as part of workforce
realignment. The $1,222,000 charge consists of $866,000 for severance
pay and $356,000 for medical insurance coverage continuation. Excluding the
one-time separation package, the salaries and benefits for 2008 increased
$977,000, or 10.1%, over 2007. Salaries grew primarily due to
additional staff, including the staff for a new branch, new operational and
administrative positions, and typical merit increases. Insurance
costs continue to increase at a rate of over 10% per year. Pension
expense was $527,000 in 2008 compared to $476,000 in 2007, a $51,000, or 10.7%,
increase. Eligible employees receive pension contributions based upon
compensation subject to certain caps; therefore, this increase is generally
consistent with the increase in salary expense.
Occupancy
expenses consist of the following:
·
|
Depreciation
of bank buildings
|
·
|
Real
estate taxes and property insurance
|
·
|
Utilities
|
·
|
Building
repair and maintenance
|
Occupancy
expenses have increased by $96,000, or 8.4%, for 2008 compared to
2007. The increases were spread across all occupancy
categories. Depreciation increased $31,000, or 6.4%, and real estate
taxes increased $13,000, or 6.2%. The addition of a new branch was
primarily responsible for these increases. Utility expenses were
higher due to higher energy costs affecting electric and oil
prices. Building repair and maintenance costs continue to rise in
tandem with higher cost related to materials and supplies, along with the aging
of facilities.
The
computer software and data processing expenses are comprised of STAR® network
processing fees, software amortization, software purchases, and software
maintenance agreements. The STAR network fees are the fees paid to
process all ATM and debit card transactions. STAR network fees were
$794,000 in 2008 and $723,000 in 2007, a $71,000, or 9.8%,
increase. This increase parallels the increased number of electronic
transactions executed by customers. Management expects that this cost will rise
as ATM and debit card point of sale transactions increase. Software related
expenses increased $45,000, or 7.1%, for the year ending December 31, 2008,
compared to the same period in 2007. The majority of the software
cost increase comes from software investments to update the Corporation’s
technology, including an upgrade in the core processing software system in
2008. Management expects software expenses to rise in 2009 due to
several software-based initiatives.
Outside
services expenses rose $675,000, or 69.7%, over the 2007
expenses. Outside services include accounting and auditing fees,
legal fees, loan review fees and other third-party services. In 2008,
management engaged the consulting arm of the Corporation’s core-processing
vendor to conduct an organizational efficiency and income generation
initiative. The fees associated with that contract amounted to
$481,000 in 2008 of outside services expenses with an additional $275,000 due in
2009. In addition, legal and shareholder related expenses increased
substantially in 2008 due to the formation of the bank holding
company. Combined, these two categories increased
$99,000. Accounting and auditing fees increased $21,000, or 9.3%,
which is typical across the industry to provide the necessary level of audit
service for the Corporation’s size and complexity. Additionally, the
majority of the increase in accounting and
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
auditing
costs is the result of the Corporation being subject to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act, which in 2009 includes the attestation of internal
controls. Student loan servicing expense increased $19,000, or 32.7%,
due to higher costs to service the loans, while trust department processing fees
increased $25,000, or 78.1%, due to upgrades and an agreement for a higher level
of service. Additionally, two new servicing arrangements related to
the bank holding company increased other outside services by
$15,000. Offsetting these increases, courier services declined
$14,000, or 34.1%, for the year 2008 compared to 2007 due to efficiencies gained
through Check 21 imaging initiatives. The remainder of the increase
in outside services occurred among a variety of different service
providers.
Shares
tax expense rose $272,000, or 60.6%, for 2008 over 2007. In 2007 and
prior years, the Bank was able to reduce shares tax expenses by reducing the
number of shares on which the tax was assessed due to charitable trusts with
Ephrata National Bank stock holdings. In 2008, the shares that were
previously exempt from taxation as part of charitable trusts were no longer
eligible for exemption. Therefore, all outstanding ENB Financial Corp shares are
now subject to tax. Management does not anticipate a substantial
increase in this expense in 2009.

The
largest increases for 2008 over 2007 occurred in FDIC assessments up, $175,000;
travel expense, up $104,000, and adjustments to the allowance for off balance
sheet commitments, up $89,000. The FDIC expenses for 2008 include the
significantly higher charges for the FDIC insurance fund. In 2007,
the FDIC insurance charges were offset by a one-time credit determined in 2006
that was applied to the insurance charges when the FDIC began assessing them in
2007. Additionally, the FDIC has announced significant increases in
the insurance assessments in 2009 to reimburse the fund after payouts related to
bank failures and to pay for increase in the insurance level from $100,000 to
$250,000. Management estimates that FDIC costs could increase by more
than $500,000 in 2009. Information subsequent to the reporting date indicates
there may be additional FDIC assessments. Based on information
currently available, management estimates an additional $1.1 million in FDIC
insurance expense resulting from a one-time assessment, which is in addition to
the increase in the regular quarterly assessments. Travel expenses
were higher in 2008 mostly due to the out of pocket and travel expenses
associated with the Corporation’s business consulting
engagement. Management anticipates that travel expenses will revert
to a normal level in 2009. Offsetting these increases, the expense on
other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased $88,000 because a loss of $116,000 on
OREO was recorded in 2007, with no comparable activity in
2008. Additionally, director expense decreased $33,000 due to the
completion of deferred compensation payments for past
directors. Delinquent loan expense declined $32,000 because of higher
expense related to charged off properties in 2007.
Management
uses the efficiency ratio as one metric to evaluate operating
expenses. The efficiency ratio measures the efficiency of the
Corporation in producing one dollar of revenue. For example, an
efficiency ratio of 60% means it costs sixty cents to generate one dollar of
revenue. A lower ratio represents better operational
efficiency. The formula for calculating the efficiency ratio is total
operating expenses, excluding foreclosed property and OREO expenses, divided by
FTE net interest income, prior to the provision for loan losses plus other
income, excluding gain or loss on securities. For 2008, the
Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 75.1%, an increase from 65.4% for
2007. This significant increase is largely due to the one time cost
of $1,222,000 for the separation package related to the Corporations realignment
of resources. Management has a long-term goal of reducing the
efficiency ratio to less than 65% and believes in 2009 the efficiency ratio will
improve to a ratio similar the 2007 ratio.
Income
Taxes
The
majority of the Corporation’s income is taxed at a corporate rate of 34% for
Federal income tax purposes. The Corporation is also subject to
Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax; however, no taxable activity is conducted
at the corporate level. The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary,
Ephrata National Bank, is not subject to state income tax, but does pay
Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. The Bank Shares Tax expense appears on
the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income under operating
expenses.
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Certain
items of income are not subject to Federal income tax, such as tax-exempt
interest income on loans and securities; therefore, the effective income tax
rate for the Corporation is lower than the stated tax rate. The
effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s provision for
income tax by the pretax income for the applicable period. Note L to
the financial statements provides details on the Corporation’s Federal income
tax.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, a tax benefit of $117,000, rather than a tax
provision, was recorded. The Corporation’s taxable income for book
purposes was negative due to the lower earnings performance, combined with the
benefit of a high level of tax-free assets, and the reduction of a tax valuation
allowance. The amount of the Corporation’s tax-exempt income nearly
equaled the amount of net income before tax. In addition, the
Corporation was able to reduce a tax valuation allowance that exceeded remaining
taxable income, resulting in a net tax benefit. The tax valuation
allowance related to prior losses on US Agency preferred stock that previously
could not be utilized until the stock was actually sold. All
remaining preferred stock was sold in 2008
Due to
lower earnings and tax-free income making up a much larger percentage of total
income, the Corporation became subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) in
2006, 2007 and 2008. The AMT affects the amount of Federal income tax
due and paid, but it does not affect the book tax provision. However,
because of being subject to AMT tax, management allowed tax-free securities to
decline and became less aggressive in pursuing tax-free loans. This
practice will continue until the Corporation is no longer subject to
AMT. Reducing tax-free assets will have an impact on the
Corporation’s future book tax as tax-exempt income declines as a percentage of
total income. Due to further planned reductions in tax-free assets, management
anticipates that the Corporation’s provision for Federal income tax will
increase as a percentage of pretax income in 2009.

Financial
Condition
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents consist of the cash on hand in the Corporation’s vaults,
operational transaction accounts with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), and
deposits in other banks. The FRB requires a specified amount of cash
available either in vault cash or in an FRB account. Known as cash
reserves, these funds provide for the daily clearing house activity of the
Corporation and fluctuate based on the volume of each day’s
transactions. As of December 31, 2008, the Corporation had $19.4
million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $17.3 million as of December
31, 2007. The cash and cash equivalents represent only one element
liquidity. For further discussion on liquidity management refer to

Securities
Available for Sale
The
Corporation classifies all of its securities as available for sale and reports
the portfolio at fair market value. As of December 31, 2008, the
Corporation had $214.4 million of securities available for sale, which accounted
for 31.1% of assets, compared to 30.4% as of December 31, 2007. This
indicates that the securities portfolio on an ending basis grew at a faster pace
that total assets. Based on ending balances, the securities portfolio
increased 11.1% from December 31, 2007, to December 31,
2008. Comparatively, the securities portfolio remained flat during
the period between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007.

The
Corporation typically invests excess liquidity into securities, primarily fixed
income bonds. The securities portfolio provides interest and dividend
income to supplement the interest income on loans. Additionally, the securities
portfolio assists in the management of both liquidity risk and interest rate
risk. Refer to Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk” for further discussion of risk strategies. In order to provide
flexibility for management of liquidity and interest rate risks, the securities
portfolio is classified as available for sale and reported at fair
value. Management adjusts the value the portfolio on a monthly basis
to fair market value as determined in accordance with FAS 115 Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt & Equity Securities and FAS 157 Fair Value Measurements.
Management has the ability and intent to hold all debt securities until
maturity and does not generally record impairment on the bonds that are
currently valued below par. Equity securities generally pose a
greater risk to loss of principal since there is no specified maturity date on
which the Corporation will recover the entire principal. Recovery of the
principal investment is dependent on the fair value of the security at the time
of sale.
Based on
fair market value, on December 31, 2008, approximately 98.7% of the
Corporation’s securities were invested in debt securities with final maturities
while 1.3% of the portfolio was invested in equity securities. The
equity percentage declined from 1.8% as of December 31, 2007, due to the
impairment and eventual sale of all remaining Fannie Mae preferred stock by
December 31, 2008. On September 7, 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department
and the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under
conservatorship, essentially taking over these entities due to significantly
declining financial condition. The action was primarily designed to ensure the
governments backing of all the mortgage back debt issued by these
agencies. In this action the government took a higher preferred stock
position than the existing preferred shareholders, and preferred stock dividend
payments were halted, causing an immediate and severe loss in value of the
Fannie Mae preferred stock held by the Corporation. While the equity
holdings make up a very small percentage of the securities portfolio, they were
responsible for all of the $760,000 of impairment and $518,000 of losses
recorded by the Corporation during 2008. The remaining equity
security is a CRA fund investment. The CRA fund is structured as a mutual fund
where dollars are invested in CRA qualifying mortgage pools. The
current guideline used by management for the amount to be invested in CRA
approved investments is approximately 0.5% of assets. The CRA fund is
rated AAA by both Moodys and S&P.
At the
beginning of the year, the Corporation was able to utilize the positively sloped
treasury curve to add higher yielding securities to the portfolio, increasing
portfolio income from both a volume and rate standpoint. This action
was taken in part to offset the slower loan growth being experienced by the
Corporation. The majority of growth occurred in
ENB

government
agency sponsored mortgage backed securities (MBS), and private label
collateralized mortgage obligations (PCMO). The PCMO’s are mortgage
backed instruments like U.S. government backed collateralized mortgage
obligations (CMO) however they do not have the backing of one of the U.S.
government. Instead of being issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac,
they are issued by brokerage firms or financial institutions that pool and sell
these assets. Although the specific structure and backing of MBS,
CMO’s, and PCMO’s are different, they all consist of pools of mortgages and have
some common characteristics that make them appropriate for the Corporation’s
investment strategy. They match the overall objectives of the
securities strategy of providing:

a
stable and reliable cash flow for
liquidity
|
|
·
|
generally
carry AAA credit ratings
|
|
·
|

|
Investment
in a substantial amount of the mortgage backed security types referred to above
assists management in maintaining a stable five year ladder of cash flows which
in turn assists with more stable liquidity and interest rate risk
positions. While cash flows coming off of mortgage back maturities do
slow down and speed up as interest rates increase or decrease, the overall
effect on the portfolio is minimal. These cash flows act to soften
the impact of other debt securities being called or maturing in their
entirety.
Obligations
of states and political subdivisions, often referred to as municipal bonds, are
tax-free securities that generally provide the highest yield in the securities
portfolio. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, the Corporation was in an
alternative minimum tax (AMT) position when income levels fell and tax exempt
income remained high. The AMT requires the payment of a minimum level
of tax should an entity have excessive amounts of tax preference items relative
to a Corporation’s income. The Corporations primary tax preference
item is the large amount of tax free income generated by tax-free loans and tax
exempt securities. As a result of the Corporation’s AMT tax position,
management has determined that the size of the municipal bond holdings in
relation to the rest of the securities portfolio should be
decreased. Sizable reductions in the Corporation’s tax -free assets
would assist the Corporation in emerging from an AMT position. For that reason
management has slowed investment in municipal bonds and has reduced the
percentage of municipal bonds as a percentage of the portfolio from 31.3% on
December 31, 2007, to 24.5% as of December 31, 2008. When the Corporation is no
longer subject to AMT, management will resume investing in municipal bonds to
take advantage of the higher tax-equivalent yields.
During
the last quarter of 2008 market volatility, economic slowdown, and the collapse
of several large financial institutions caused the downgrading of many
securities. This phenomenon has affected all segments of the
Corporation’s portfolio not secured or backed by the U. S. Government,
specifically, PCMO’s, corporate bonds and municipal bonds. As of December 31,
2008, all but one of the PCMO securities were rated at AAA, which is above the
credit standards established by the regulators and the more stringent standards
set by corporate policy. The one of the seven PCMO securities held with a book
value of $3,810,000 was downgraded to B+ by S&P, which is below the
Corporation’s initial credit standards and below what is considered investment
grade. Additionally, one CitiGroup corporate bond with a book value of
$1,000,000 has been downgraded to below the level set by policy, but remains
above investment grade. As of December 31, 2008, $15.8 million, or
30.0%, of the municipal bonds have been downgraded to below the levels set by
internal policies, but still substantially exceed investment grade standards.
Management will continue to closely monitor the securities that have been
downgraded. The municipal bond ratings have been affected primarily by concern
over the insurance backing the bond issues. Presently, management has
the intent and the ability to hold the securities to maturity and believes that
full recovery of principal is probable.
The
entire securities portfolio is reviewed monthly for credit risk and evaluated
quarterly for possible impairment. In terms of credit risk and
impairment, management most closely watches the Corporation’s CRA fund and since
it does not have a stated maturity date. Corporate bonds and private mortgage
backed securities have the most potential credit risk out of the Corporation’s
debt instruments. As of December 31, 2008, none of the Corporation’s
unrealized security losses were considered other than temporary. For further
information on impairment see Note B. For further details regarding
credit risk see Note P.
The
following table shows the weighted average life and yield on the Corporation’s
securities by maturity intervals as of December 31, 2008, based on amortized
cost. All of the Corporation’s securities are classified as available

they are shown at amortized cost.

The yield
on the securities portfolio was 5.33% as of the year ended December 31, 2008,
compared to 5.26% as of December 31, 2007. The weighted average
life of the Corporation’s securities portfolio was 5.90 years as of December 31,
2008, compared to 4.72 years as of December 31, 2007. Weighted
average life is one measurement of the length of the securities
portfolio. A shorter portfolio will adjust more quickly in a rising
interest rate environment, whereas a longer portfolio will tend to generate more
return over the long-term and will outperform a shorter portfolio when interest
rates decline. Because the Corporation’s securities portfolio is
longer than the average peer bank, it will generally outperform the average peer
bank given a decline in interest rates and will generally underperform given
higher interest rates.

Discussion and Analysis
The
composition of the loan portfolio has had minor changes in recent
years. Real estate loans comprised more than 75% of loans for each of
the last five years. Residential real estate is the largest
category of the loan portfolio and includes first mortgages, second mortgages,
and home equity loans. The residential real estate loans as a
percentage of the total portfolio had been slowly trending downward, from over
41% in 2005 to a low of 39.2% as of December 31, 2007. In late 2008,
the pace of residential real estate loan growth increased as mortgage rates
declined, which grew residential purpose real estate loans as a percentage of
the loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans have picked up in
growth as well, offsetting a reduction in commercial lending not secured by real
estate and construction loans secured by real estate. The commercial
real estate loan growth was aided by new business gained from
competition. The majority of banks in the Corporation’s market area
have gone to a Prime plus floor, while the Corporation continues offer prime
rate loans to the majority of corporate customers.
Residential
real estate loans, consisting of first and second mortgages and home equity
loans, comprise the largest portion of the Corporation’s total
loans. The residential real estate category is consistently
near 40% of the total loans. The balances in the real estate
residential category grew $12.1 million or 8.0% from December 31,
2007. The growth during 2008 is indicative of the Corporation
originating mortgages to be held at Ephrata National as opposed to being sold to
other parties. Given recent negative national events with regard to
the mortgage industry and large commercial banks, more consumers prefer that
their mortgage be held by a local financial institution. Even though
the mortgage business has generally slowed, the Corporation has seen new
business from other financial institutions where borrowers are refinancing
adjustable rate instruments into traditional fixed rate
mortgages. Management believes that there may be a slowdown in
mortgage originations as the housing market continues to weaken and the amount
of mortgages likely to be refinanced declines.
Home
equity loans have averaged from 25% to 30% of the Corporation’s residential real
estate loan portfolio. The use of home equity loans is motivated by the
favorable tax treatment of real estate secured loans compared to unsecured
loans. During the past several years, the higher percentage of home
ownership along with sizeable gains in real estate valuations made the home
equity loan available to more borrowers. In the local area, home values have not
decreased as significantly as in other markets; however, home equity has
declined. This means that borrowers, who have used equity in their
home already, do not have more equity to borrow against as had been the case in
prior years. This slowed the growth of new fixed home equity
loans. There has been a surge of borrowing against home equity lines
of credit as consumers tap into equity to maintain cash flow at rates lower than
available on fixed rate loans. The growth in home equity lines of credit more
than offset the reduction in fixed rate borrowing. Management believes that the
potential for new home equity loans and extensions on lines of credit will be
relatively stagnate for the next year as most available equity has been utilized
and consumers are pulling back on discretionary spending due to the state of the
economy.
Commercial
real estate loans grew $28.5 million, or 22.9%, while commercial loans not
secured by real estate declined $3.6 million or 5.0%, during the year from
December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2008. In the current credit
environment, with economic uncertainty, any new loans and extensions of credit
to commercial borrowers is generally done with the backing of real estate as
collateral. Loans secured with real estate provide better protection in cases
where a business defaults. The Corporation provides credit to many
small and medium sized businesses. The Corporation’s market area is
very diverse and generally has a healthy economic climate; however, when a
national economic decline is substantial and ongoing, the local economy is
impacted. Management anticipates that the commercial real estate loan
growth will slow in 2009 due to the state of the broader and local
economy.
A large
portion of the Corporation’s recent commercial real estate growth has been
generated in agricultural lending. Another segment experiencing
growth is Prime-based variable loans. The Prime rate stood at 5.00%
at the end of September of 2008, and was further reduced to 4.00% by the end of
October 2008 and declined to 3.25% by mid- December 2008. As a
result, the Prime rate has been well below commercial fixed
rates. Businesses see the advantage of converting their fixed rate
loans to variable rate loans at these historically low interest rates to reduce
their costs, therefore, the Corporation is seeing some shifting of fixed to
variable products within the business and commercial segment of the loan
portfolio. When the Prime rate moves substantially off of the current
lows, it is likely that businesses will refinance from variable rate loans to
fixed rate loans to avoid even higher rates.
The
consumer loan portfolio has declined in recent years as home owners have turned
to equity in their homes to finance cars and education, rather than traditional
loans for those expenditures. Additionally, specialized lenders have
emerged for consumer needs. From December 31, 2007, through December
31, 2008, consumer loans remained flat decreasing by only
$9,000. Due to current liquidity conditions, specialized
lenders began pulling back on the availability of credit and more favorable
credit terms. Underwriting standards of major financing and credit card
companies began to strengthen after years of lower credit
standards. This led consumers to seek unsecured credit away from home
equity loans and national finance companies and back to their bank of
choice. Management has seen the need for additional unsecured credit
accelerate in the third and fourth quarter of 2008. Management
anticipates that the need for unsecured
ENB

credit
will grow during this current credit crisis and economic downturn as many
consumers need to access all available credit and their other sources of real
estate secured credit are not available due to declines in collateral
value.
Management
does not anticipate that the loan portfolio composition will change materially
in 2009.

The
majority of the Corporation’s loans have a maturity date longer than five
years. The primary reason for the longevity of the portfolio is the
high percentage of real estate loans, which typically have maturities of 10, 15
or 20 years. Commercial mortgages have maturities that range
from 3 years to 25 years. The most popular commercial mortgage term
is a 20-year amortization with a 5-year reset period. In this case,
the loan matures in twenty years but after five years either the loan rate
resets to the Prime rate or a fixed rate for another reset
period. The original maturity date does not
change. Customers will generally opt for another fixed reset period
and can refinance at this point.
Out of
all the loans due after one year, 57.6% are fixed rate loans. These
loans will not reprice to a higher or lower interest rate unless they mature or
are refinanced by the borrower. Floating or adjustable rate loans
reflect different types of repricing. Approximately 47% of the $150
million of floating or adjustable loans due after one year are true floating
loans. These loans are tied to the Prime rate and will reprice when the Prime
rate changes, with no floors in place as of December 31,
2008. The other 53% of the floating or adjustable loans due
after one year are adjustable in nature and will reprice at a predetermined time
in the amortization of the loan. These loans are mostly real estate commercial
loans and typically will only reprice once over the life of the
loan.

details regarding how the length of the loan portfolio and its repricing affects
interest rate risk, please see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure

Non-performing
assets increased $2.3 million from December 31, 2007 to December 31,
2008. This increase primarily resulted from the addition of two loans
totaling $1,641,000 to a borrower and a related interest, shown as troubled debt
restructurings above. In addition, an $883,000 line of credit to a
related interest was placed on non-accrued status. All three loans
are secured by real estate assets. These loans are for real estate
development. The loans were restructured by allowing the borrower to
pay interest only for a period of four months beginning in 2009. The
interest rate was changed from fixed to a floating rate. The final
maturity of the loan was not extended. After four months the borrower
is to again make principal and interest payments and the interest rate will
increase back to the original contract rate. The developer had home
lots under contract with a builder; however approval from the municipality had
not been obtained and the builder pulled out of the contract prior to December
31, 2008. In regard to these facts, the Corporation made concessions
on the original terms of the loans by allowing restructuring of the
loans.
The
non-accrual loans increased by $823,000, primarily due to the addition of the
$883,000 mentioned above. Meanwhile, loans past 90 days or more and
still accruing have increased marginally. The Corporation has seen an uptick in
delinquencies in the shorter time frames; however they have not migrated into
longer delinquencies. This means that customers are still making the
payments, but on a late basis. Management is monitoring delinquency trends
closely. At this time, management believes that the potential for
significant losses related to non-performing loans is minimal but
increasing.
As of
December 31, 2008, other real estate owned (“OREO”) is shown at a recorded fair
market value, net of anticipated selling costs, of $520,000. The
balance consists of one manufacturing property that has been in OREO since
December of 2006. This property is under an agreement of sale, the
second agreement of sale negotiated on this property since late
2007. A new agreement of sale was obtained in the second quarter of
2008 with a new party for the recorded value of the property, after the first
agreement of sale expired. Settlement on the sale has been deferred,
pending the completion of a due-diligence period whereby the property meets all
contingencies of the agreement.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses is established to cover any losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance each
quarter based upon a detailed analysis and calculation of the allowance for loan
losses. This calculation is based upon a systematic methodology for
determining the allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The calculation includes estimates and is
based upon losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The calculation,
and detailed analysis supporting it, emphasizes delinquent and non-performing
loans. The allowance calculation includes specific provisions for
non-performing loans and general allocations to cover anticipated losses on all
loan types based on historical losses. Based on the quarterly loan
loss calculation, management
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
will
adjust the allowance for loan losses through the provision as
necessary. Changes to the allowance for loan losses during the year
are primarily affected by three events:
·
|
Charge
off of loans considered not
recoverable
|
·
|
Recovery
of loans previously charged off
|
·
|
Provision
for loan loss
|
Strong
credit and collateral policies have been instrumental in producing a favorable
history of loan losses. The Allowance for Loan Losses table below shows the
activity in the allowance for loan losses for each of the past five
years. At the bottom of the table two benchmark percentages are
shown. The first is net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
outstanding for the year. The second is the total allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of total loans.

Charge-offs
for the year ended December 31, 2008, were $241,000 compared to $1,078,000 for
the same period in 2007. The charge-offs in 2008 represent a more
typical level of consumer loan and small business loan charge-offs that would
result from management charging off unsecured debt over 90 days delinquent with
little likelihood of recovery. The significantly higher charge-offs
in 2007 resulted from two commercial loans totaling $844,000 being charged off
in the first quarter 2007 when the business ceased operations. In
2008, a $50,000 recovery was made on the $844,000 written off during
2007.
Through
December 31, 2008, the Corporation provided $669,000 to the allowance for loan
losses, compared to $1,446,000 in the same period of 2007. The
provision is used to increase the allowance for loan losses at a pace similar to
the growth of the loan portfolio. The additional provision in 2007 was to
partially offset the reduction to the allowance for loan losses caused by the
charge offs.
The
allowance as a percentage of total loans represents the portion of the total
loan portfolio for which an allowance has been provided. For the five
year period from 2003 through 2007, the Corporation maintained an allowance as a
percentage of loans in a narrow range between 0.84% and 0.96%. In
2008, the percentage has increased from 0.96% at the beginning of the year, to
1.02% as of December 31, 2008. The composition of the Corporation’s
loan portfolio has
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
not
changed materially from 2007 to 2008; however, management views the overall risk
profile of the portfolio to be higher in 2008, as a result of more loans
classified as substandard and special mention. These classifications
require larger provision amounts due to a higher potential risk of
loss. Management anticipates maintaining the allowance as a
percentage of total loans above 1.00% for the foreseeable future.
The net
charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans outstanding indicates the
percentage of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio that has been charged off
during the period. The Corporation has historically experienced very
low net charge-off percentages due to management’s strong credit practices. The
0.04% shown for the year 2008 is similar to charge off rates experienced in 2004
and 2005.
The
following table provides the allocation of the Corporation’s allowance for loan
losses amount by major loan classifications. The percentage of loans
indicates what percentage that loan type makes up of the entire loan portfolio.
The reserve associated with real estate loans increased substantially from
December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2008, coinciding with the increase in real
estate loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio. Real estate loans
include residential and commercial real estate. The vast majority of
the Corporation’s non-performing loans are secured by real estate; therefore, a
higher percentage of the allowance is dedicated toward these
loans. On December 31, 2007, 42.3% of the allowance was allocated to
real estate loans. On December 31, 2008, 54.6% of the allowance was
allocated to real estate loans. The increase in the allowance to real
estate loans occurred primarily in the commercial and industrial loans secured
by real estate. In the Corporation’s market area the current economic
conditions have impacted certain segments of the commercial customers where as
the Corporation has experienced very little delinquencies on personal
residential real estate. Since commercial loans are usually larger in
dollar amount, the potential for loss from commercial real estate is
greater. Commercial and industrial loans not secured by real estate
declined as a percentage of total loans as did the allocation of the allowance
associated with these loans.
This
allocation may change as the mix of delinquent and substandard classified loans
within the portfolio changes. In total, 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.

Bank
Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)
The
Corporation owned life insurance with a total recorded cash surrender value
(“CSV”) of $14,512,000 as of December 31, 2008, compared to $13,871,000 on
December 31, 2007. The Corporation holds two distinct BOLI
programs. The first with a CSV of $3,573,000 was the result of
insurance policies taken out on directors of Ephrata National Bank electing to
participate in a directors deferred compensation plan. The program
was designed to use the insurance policies to fund future annuity payments as
part of a directors deferred compensation plan that permitted deferral of board
pay from 1979 through 1999. The plan was closed to entry in 1999 when
directors were no longer provided with the option of deferring their board
pay. The Corporation pays the required premiums for the policies
and
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
is the
owner and beneficiary of the policies. The life insurance policies in the plan
generally have annual premiums; however, the premium payments are not required
after the first five years. The Corporation continues to make the
premium payments, which cover the cost of the insurance and generally adds to
the cash surrender value of the policy.
The
second BOLI plan was taken out on a select group of the Corporation’s officers,
with the additional income generated used to offset rising personnel costs. The
CSV for this plan increased to $10,939,000 as of December 31, 2008 from
$10,467,000 as of December 31, 2007. The increase resulted solely from the
returns on the insurance policy investment. The Corporation purchased whole life
policies for this BOLI plan and is the owner and beneficiary of the
policies. Management does not anticipate purchasing any additional
BOLI in 2009.
Deposits
The
Corporation’s total ending deposits increased $32.4 million, or 6.8%, from
$478.7 million on December 31, 2007, to $511.1 million on December 31,
2008. Customer deposits are the Corporation’s primary source of
funding for loans and investments. This year the economic concerns
and poor performance of other types of investments led customers back to banks
for safe places to invest money, in spite of low interest rates. The mix of
deposit categories has remained relatively stable.
The
Deposits by Major Classification table, shown below, provides the average
balances and rates paid on each deposit category for each of the past three
years. The average 2008 balance carried on all deposits was $497.5
million compared to $468.1 million for 2007. This represents an
increase of 6.3% on average deposit balances. The increase of average
deposit balances from 2006 to 2007 was 3.0%. Average balances provide
a more accurate picture of growth in deposits because deposit balances can vary
throughout the year. In addition, the interest paid is based on
average deposit balances carried during the year calculated on a daily
basis.

manner that makes them affordable for all customers. This in turn
creates a high degree of customer loyalty, which has provided stability to the
deposit base. Additionally, there were two bank mergers completed
recently. The Corporation’s deposit base increase as a result of on
the merger activity in the local area, there are some disenfranchised customers
who seek the services of a community bank, and consequently, the deposit base
increased for the Corporation. Additionally, a new branch location opened in
September 2008, which assisted in deposit growth.
The
Corporation’s core deposits, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, NOW
accounts, MMDA accounts and Savings accounts based on average balances grew
$14.6 million, or 5.5%, since December 31, 2007. Out of these
core deposit categories, all experienced growth except the
MMDAs. Several converging factors are assisting in the
increase
ENB

Discussion and Analysis
of core
deposits. Interest rates are at historic lows across all terms but
customers are trying to build more liquid funds to meet cash flow needs in a
slowing economy. The safety of FDIC insured funds and immediate, or
nearly immediate, funds in the current environment appear to be more of a
concern to customers than interest rates. Additionally, the concern
over the stability of some larger financial institutions and banks has led
customers seeking security to community banks with high levels of capital and
long-standing reputations.
Time
deposits are typically a more rate sensitive product making it a less reliable
source of funding. Time deposits fluctuate as consumers search for
the best rates in the market, with less allegiance to any particular financial
institution. Due to current adequate funding levels from all sources, the
Corporation’s recent time deposit strategy has been to offer rates that meet or
slightly exceed the average rates offered by the local competing
banks. The Corporation did benefit earlier in 2008 when consumers
were concerned with a declining stock market, and the time deposit rates of the
Corporation compared very favorably to local competition. Time
deposit growth continued to be aided in the remainder of 2008 by the very
volatile and weak stock market in recent months. This condition
continues to prevail at the time of the writing of this filing. Time
deposits are a safe investment with FDIC coverage insuring no loss of principal
below certain levels. Up until October 3, 2008 FDIC coverage was
$100,000 non IRA time deposits and $250,000 on IRA time
deposits. Effective October 3, 2008, the FDIC insurance increased to
$250,000 for all deposit accounts with the signing of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008. The higher FDIC insurance limits benefited
the Corporation due to its strong level of capital and consistent
earnings. In this environment, the Corporation experienced time
deposit growth due to weak earnings and/or capital levels of competing national,
regional, and local community banks. Often as customers placed more
and more time deposits in financial institutions, due to the declining stock
market, they did not want to exceed the FDIC insurance limits and therefore the
Corporation gained many new time deposit customers. The culmination
of all of these conditions contributed to the $14.8 million or 7.2% increase in
time deposits between December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2008.
The
majority of the time deposit growth achieved in 2008 was in terms less than 18
months, which have lower rates than longer term time deposits, indicating that
customers are not looking for long-term investments with the best return, but
shorter safe investments. Management expects that when equity
investments begin to rebound in performance there will be a reduction in the
Corporation’s time deposits.
As of
December 31, 2008, time deposits over $100,000 made up 24.3% of the total time
deposits. This compares to 19.3% on December 31,
2007. Since time deposits over $100,000 are made up of relatively few
customers with large dollar accounts, management monitors these accounts closely
due to the potential for these deposits to rapidly increase or decrease.
Management believes the growth in time deposits over $100,000 was due primarily
to an increase in the FDIC insurance levels and to a lesser degree the weak
equity markets. The following table provides the total amount of time
deposits of $100,000 or more for the past three years by maturity
distribution.

In order
to meet future funding obligations it is necessary to review the timing of
maturity for large depositors like the time deposits of $100,000 or
more. The Corporation monitors all large depositors to ensure that
there is a steady flow of maturities. As of December 31, 2008, the
Corporation had a typical laddering of large time deposits, with the exception
of slightly more being due in three months or less. The reason for more than
usual maturing in the three month time frame is that many customers are waiting
and hoping that rates will rise in the short term, prior to locking in rates for
a longer period of time. For more information on liquidity management please see
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk. Additionally, for more information on the maturity of the time
deposits, see Note E to the Financial Statements.

Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Borrowings
Total
borrowings were $103.8 million and $82.1 million as of December 31, 2008, and
2007 respectively. The Corporation was purchasing short-term funds of
$11.8 million at the end of 2008 compared to $100,000 million as of December 31,
2007. Short-term funds are used for immediate liquidity needs and are not
typically part of an ongoing liquidity or interest rate risk strategy;
therefore, they fluctuate more rapidly. At the end of 2008, the short
term borrowings were split between the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and
overnight funds through correspondent banking relationships.
Long-term
borrowings increased $10.0 million from December 31, 2007, to December 31,
2008. The Corporation uses two main sources for long-term
borrowings: FHLB and repurchase agreements through brokers or
correspondent banks. Both of these types of borrowings are used as a
secondary source of funding and to mitigate interest rate
risk. Management will continue to analyze and compare the costs and
benefits of borrowing versus obtaining funding from deposits.
Total
FHLB borrowings were $67.0 million as of December 31, 2008, compared to $62.0
million as of December 31, 2007. The FHLB borrowings increase related
to one additional $5.0 million loan taken out during 2008. In addition, several
loans that matured were replaced with new loans, reducing the rates paid on the
borrowings. The borrowings with FHLB are primarily fixed-rate loans. The
Corporation occasionally uses convertible select loans that give advantageous
pricing compared to fixed-rate loans; however, they generally have additional
risk due to a call feature being included on the loan. Management
compares the length of the first call of these borrowings to the normal length
of time deposits. Often, a convertible select borrowing from FHLB can
provide a longer period of rate protection than the term of some of the
Corporation’s typical time deposit promotions. The call feature may be based on
a time requirement or a specific rate requirement. As of December 31,
2008, the Corporation held $25.0 million of convertible select loans, the same
level as December 31, 2007.
As of
December 31, 2008, the Corporation held $30.0 million of repurchase agreements
compared to $20.0 million as of December 31, 2007. Two additional
repurchase agreements for $5.0 million each were added in 2008. One
repurchase agreement totaling $5.0 million was a two year advance with no call
provision. The other $5.0 million was a convertible callable
structure with one year of call protection. The remaining $20 million of
repurchase agreements that existed on December 31, 2008 and were in existence on
December 31, 2007, all have some call feature, much like FHLB convertible select
loans. All of the callable repurchase agreements had an initial
period where no call could occur. However, all of the $20 million of
callable repurchase agreements are now into their call period where calls could
occur on a quarterly basis. It is unlikely any of the callable
repurchase agreements will be called in the near future as their rates are well
above market rates for the same term. Two of the repurchase
agreements existing prior to 2008, totaling $10 million are in a back-end fixed
rate with a quarterly call, whereas the two other repurchase agreements are at a
floating rate that resets quarterly with a call provision. The interest rates on
callable repurchase agreements are more favorable than non-callable long-term
fixed rates; therefore these instruments assist the Corporation in increasing
net interest margin. In all cases, the rate advantage of callable
borrowing structures is weighed against any additional interest rate risk
exposure taken compared to non-callable borrowing
structures. Management views repurchase agreement transactions as a
diversification of funding outside of the FHLB, because principally the same
funding structures can be obtained from FHLB. Management monitors the
amount of convertible select loans that could be called in any one year to
ensure that the Corporation does not have a concentrated amount of call risk in
any one year
In order
to limit the Corporation’s exposure and reliance to a single funding source, the
Corporation’s Asset Liability Policy sets a goal of maintaining the amount of
borrowings from the FHLB to 15% of asset size. As of December 31,
2008, the Corporation was within this policy guideline at 10.5% of asset size
with $72.0 million of total FHLB borrowings. The Corporation
also has a policy that limits total borrowing from all sources to 150% of the
Corporation’s capital. As of December 31, 2008, total borrowings from
all sources amounted to 152.5% of the Corporation’s capital, slightly exceeding
the guideline. The Corporation has maintained FHLB borrowings and
total borrowings within these throughout most of the year. There was
an increase in short term borrowings at the end of the year to fund a large
loan. Subsequent to year end and prior to this filing both ratios are
within guidelines, and management expects borrowings to be maintained within
policy guidelines.
The
Corporation continues to be well under the FHLB maximum borrowing capacity
(MBC), which is currently $324.3 million. The Corporation’s two
internal policy limits are far more restrictive than the FHLB MBC, which is
calculated and set quarterly by FHLB. Due to recent circumstances in
the financial and mortgage sectors, FHLB has been under regulatory and operating
performance pressures and has taken steps to preserve capital. As a
result, FHLB has suspended the dividend paid on stock owned by banks that have
FHLB borrowings. Additionally, FHLB will no longer

excess stock if a bank reduces its borrowings. For this reason,
management is committed to maintaining current borrowing levels, but not placing
more reliance on FHLB for additional borrowings.
Stockholders’
Equity
Federal
regulatory authorities require banks to meet minimum capital
levels. The Corporation maintains capital ratios well above those
minimum levels and higher than the peer group average. The
risk-weighted capital ratios are calculated by dividing capital by the
risk-weighted assets. Regulatory guidelines determine the
risk-weighted assets by assigning assets to one of four risk-weighted
categories. The calculation of Tier I Capital to Risk Weighted Assets
includes a reduction to capital for the Allowance for Loan Losses, thereby,
making this ratio lower than the Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
ratio. See Notes H and M to the Financial Statements for additional
information on capital transactions.

The high
level of capital maintained by the Corporation provides a greater degree of
financial security and acts as a non-interest bearing source of
funds. Conversely, a high level of capital, also referred to as
equity, makes it more difficult for the Corporation to improve return on average
equity, which is a benchmark of shareholder return. The Corporation’s
capital is affected by earnings, the payment of dividends, changes in
accumulated comprehensive income or loss, and equity transactions.
Total
dividends paid to shareholders for the 2008, were $3,549,000 or $1.24 per share,
compared to $3,453,000 or $1.21 per share paid to shareholders during the same
period in 2007. The Corporation uses current earnings and available
retained earnings to pay dividends. The Corporation’s current capital
plan calls for management to maintain Tier I Capital to average assets between
9.0% and 12.0%. Management also desires a dividend payout ratio
between 40% and 50%. This ratio will vary according to income, but
over the long term management’s goal is to average a payout ratio in this
range. For 2008, the dividend payout ratio was
88.40%. Management anticipates that the payout ratio for the year
2009 will be lower, but still above the target of between 40% and
50%.
The
amount of unrealized gain or loss on the Corporation’s securities portfolio is
reflected, net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. This is recorded as
accumulated other comprehensive income in the capital section of the
Corporation’s balance sheet. An unrealized gain increases the
Corporation’s capital while an unrealized loss reduces the Corporation’s
capital. This requirement takes the position that if the Corporation
liquidated at the end of each period, the current unrealized gain or loss of the
securities portfolio would directly impact the Corporation’s
capital. As of December 31, 2008, the Corporation showed unrealized
loss, net of tax, of $963,000, compared to unrealized losses of $181,000 on
December 31, 2007. The changes in unrealized losses are due to normal
changes in market valuations of the Corporation’s Securities as a result of
interest rate movements.
At the
close of the period ended June 30, 2008, 130,443 shares of treasury stock held
as a result of previous stock purchase plans, less shares utilized for the
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Dividend Reinvestment Plan, were
retired. The retirement of treasury shares was required as part of
the formation of ENB Financial Corp. Treasury shares act as a
reduction to capital; therefore, the retirement of treasury shares into common
stock and capital surplus had no impact to the Corporation’s
capital. Since the formation of the Corporation on July 1, 2008,
32,400 shares of treasury stock have been repurchased and 7,038 reissued with
25,362 treasury shares on December 31, 2008.

renovations at the Denver Office in the amount of $128,000, of which $39,000 has
been paid subsequent to the reporting date, but prior to filing. At
this time there is not a construction contract; however, management intends to
renovate the branch in 2009. Additionally, the Main Office is under
renovation. There is not a contract for these renovations, but the
estimated costs are $150,000 and renovations are anticipated to be completed in
the first quarter of 2009.
Management
signed a contract in March of 2008 with the Corporation’s core processing vendor
to conduct a comprehensive business processing improvement (“BPI”)
engagement. The majority of the engagement occurred over the six
month period beginning in July of 2008. Benefits are to be realized
beginning in the final quarter of 2008 with an acceleration of benefits to occur
in 2009 and subsequent years. The financial goal of the BPI is
to obtain $1.4 million to $2.2 million of annual pretax benefit through
operational cost savings and revenue enhancements. The strategic goal
of the BPI engagement is to be a more efficient organization, with better
customer service, at increased levels of profitability. The fees for the entire
BPI engagement are expected to be $756,000 plus travel related expenses; billed
through April 2009 at a rate of $68,700 per month. The majority of
the travel related expenses have been paid.

Discussion and Analysis
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
Refer to
Note A to Financial Statements for discussion on recently issued accounting
standards.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
presentation 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 many of the reported amounts and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
A
material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change is the
determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and reasonable. The
Corporation’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is
described in an earlier section of this Management’s Discussion and
Analysis. Given the very subjective nature of identifying and valuing
loan losses, it is likely that well-informed individuals could make materially
different assumptions and therefore, calculate a materially different allowance
amount. Management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans; however, changes in economic conditions may necessitate
revisions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s
allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation
to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of
information available to them at the time of their examination.
Other
than Temporary Impairment of Investments
Investments
are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is
other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and
duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to
determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term
“other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is
permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery
of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to
support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the
investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than
temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to
earnings is recognized.
Deferred
Tax Assets
The
Corporation uses an estimate of future earnings to support our position that the
benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income
should prove non-existent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets
within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized
and our net income will be reduced. Our deferred tax assets are
described further in Note L of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.”

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk
As a
financial institution, the Corporation is subject to four primary market
risks:
·
|
Credit
risk
|
·
|
Liquidity
risk
|
·
|
Interest
rate risk
|
·
|
Fair
value risk
|
The Board
of Directors has established an Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) to
measure, monitor, and manage these four primary market risks. The
Asset Liability Policy has instituted guidelines for all of these primary risks,
as well as other financial performance measurements with target
ranges. The Asset Liability goals and guidelines are consistent with
the Strategic Plan goals.
For
discussion on credit risk, refer to the sections on non-performing assets,
allowance for loan losses, Note C and Note O to the Financial
Statements.
Liquidity
Liquidity
refers to having an adequate supply of cash available to meet business
needs. Financial institutions must ensure that there is adequate
liquidity to meet a variety of funding needs, at a minimal
cost. Minimal cost is an important component of
liquidity. If a financial institution is required to take significant
action to obtain funding, and is forced to utilize an expensive source, it has
not properly planned for its liquidity needs. Funding new loans and
covering deposit withdrawals are the primary liquidity needs of the
Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of funding sources to
meet liquidity needs, such as:
·
|
Deposits
|
·
|
Loan
repayments
|
·
|
Maturities
and sales of securities
|
·
|
Borrowings
from correspondent and member banks
|
·
|
Repurchase
agreements
|
·
|
Brokered
Deposits
|
·
|
Current
earnings
|
One of
the measurements used in liquidity planning is the Maturity Gap Analysis. The
Maturity Gap Analysis below measures the amount of assets maturing within
various time frames versus liabilities maturing in those same
periods. These time frames are referred to as gaps and are reported
on a cumulative basis. For instance, the one-year gap shows all
assets maturing one year or less from a specific date versus the total
liabilities maturing in the same time period. The gap is then
expressed as a percentage of assets over liabilities. Mismatches between assets
and liabilities maturities are identified and assist Management in determining
potential liquidity issues. A cumulative maturity gap of 100% indicates that the
same amount of assets and liabilities are maturing within the specified
period. While this would be ideal, loans usually have longer lives
than deposits.
The table
below shows the six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps
as of December 31, 2008, along with the cumulative maturity gap guidelines
monitored by Management. For the purposes of this analysis, core
deposits without a specific maturity date are spread across all time periods
based on historical behavior.

As of
December 31, 2008, all except the six month to one year maturity gaps are within
Corporate Policy guidelines. The six month to one year maturity gap
is slightly lower than guidelines indicating that the ratio of assets to
liabilities maturing in that time frame is under normal operating
levels. Management does not desire to have large amounts of
assets repricing when interest rates are at historic lows and believes operating
with a lower one year gap is in the best interest of the
Corporation. The risk in this situation is that should interest rates
rise rapidly than maturing liabilities will either reprice at higher rates or
leave the Bank; thereby reducing funding. At this point in time the
risk of liabilities repricing at higher interest rates is low. Given
the alternative investment options available, management also does not perceive
significant risk that deposits maturing in that time frame will leave the
Corporation.
The
Maturity Gap Analysis in only one of a variety of metrics used to monitor
liquidity risk. The Corporation also monitors the availability of
alternative funding sources such as overnight borrowings, long-term borrowings
and the liquidity of the investment portfolio should the need for funding
arise. Management believes that as of December 31, 2008, there are
sufficient sources of funding to meet liquidity needs, both current and
future.
Interest
Rate Risk and Fair Value Risk
Identifying
the interest rate risk of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets and the
interest-bearing liabilities is essential to managing net interest margin and
net interest income. In addition to the impact on earnings,
management is also concerned about how much the value of the Corporation’s
assets might rise or fall, given an increasing or decreasing interest rate
environment. Net portfolio value (“NPV”) analysis measures the change
in the Corporation’s capital fair value, given interest rate fluctuations, while
interest rate sensitivity analysis (“IRSA”) measures the impact of a change in
interest rates on the net interest income and net interest
margin. Therefore, the two primary approaches to measuring the impact
of interest rate changes on the Corporation’s earnings and fair value are
referred to as:
·
|
Changes
in net portfolio value
|
·
|
Changes
in net interest income
|
The
Corporation’s asset liability model is able to perform dynamic forecasting based
on a wide range of assumptions provided. The model is flexible and
can be used for many types of financial projections. The Corporation
uses financial modeling to forecast balance sheet growth and
earnings. The results obtained through the use of forecasting models
are based on a variety of factors. Both earnings and balance sheet
forecasts make use of maturity and repricing schedules to determine the changes

negative
effect of changes in interest rates. These tools are used to assist
management in identifying possible areas of risk in order to address them before
a greater risk is posed.
The
change in net portfolio value gives a long-term view of the exposure to changes
in interest rates. The NPV is calculated by discounting the future
cash flows to the present value based on current market rates. The
NPV is the mathematical equivalent of present value of assets minus the present
value of liabilities.
The table
below indicates the changes in the Corporation’s NPV as of December 31,
2008. As part of the Asset Liability Policy, the Board of
Directors has established risk measurement guidelines to protect the Corporation
against decreases in the net portfolio value and net interest income in the
event of interest rate changes described above. All scenarios for both 2008 and
2007 show the Corporation within ALCO guidelines.

This
table shows the effect of an immediate interest rate shock on the net value of
the Corporaton's assets and liabilities. Base rate is the Prime
rate.
The
results for as of December 31, 2008, indicate low risk to NPV for changes in
rates. The percentage change for all scenarios is well within
policy guidelines. Current interest rates are so low that any change
in the values of assets and liabilities on declining rate scenarios has little
or no room to decline further; therefore, they are maintaining almost a neutral
NPV. The minimum exposure given rates down 200 and 300 is very
unlikely to occur given that interest rates are already at historical lows and
the Federal Reserves target overnight interest rate is already down to 0.00% to
0.25%. For lower interest rates to occur the Prime rate would have to
move independent of the overnight Federal funds rate, which has not occurred in
recent history. Although there is some volatility as rates rise, it
indicates that the Corporation gains NPV, with the value of assets declining at
a slower rate than the decrease in the value of deposits.
The
changes in net interest income reflect how much the Corporation’s net interest
income would be expected to increase or decrease given a change in market
interest rates. The changes in net interest income shown are measured
over a one-year time horizon and assume an immediate rate change on the rate
sensitive assets and liabilities. This is considered the more important measure
of interest rate sensitivity due to the immediate effect that rate changes may
have on the overall performance of the Corporation. The following table takes
into consideration when financial instruments would most likely reprice and the
duration of the pricing change. It is important to emphasize that the
information shown in the table is an estimate based on hypothetical changes in
market interest rates.

This
table shows the effect of an immediate interest rate shock, over a
one-year period on the Corporaton's net interest income. Base
rate is the Prime rate.
|
The above
analysis shows a slightly negative impact to the Corporation’s net interest
income when rates rise 100 and 200 basis points, as well as in all rate down
scenarios. In the unique current rate environment, the amount of Corporation’s
assets repricing higher will be fairly slow due to the low six month to one year
gap ratio with lower levels of assets repricing than liabilities. On
the liability side if rates increase it is typical for management to react
slowly in increasing deposit rates. Even when deposit rates are
increased they are typically increased at a fraction of the increase in the
Prime rate. In the current environment, if interest rates rise it is
expected that deposit rates will move upward, but more slowly than in past rates
up cycles. It is unlikely that rates will go down, but in the event
that they would go lower the Corporation would have exposure in the Prime based
lending segment, with those assets earning less return. The scenarios
above show rates down 100 basis points through up 200 basis points at relatively
neutral positions. This is indicative that even if rates move up or
down 100 basis points there would be relatively little change in net interest
income. While rates down 200 and 300 show more net interest
income exposure, management does not see these scenarios as realistic given the
Prime rate is already at 3.25%. This analysis focuses on immediate
rate movements, referred to as rate shocks, and measured over the course of one
year. The Corporation’s model also has the ability to measure changes
to net interest income given interest rate changes that occur more slowly over
time. This type of modeling is referred to as interest rate ramps,
where a set change in rates occurs over a period of
time. If rates were to move upward slowly over the
course of the next year, the results are very close to the results using a rate
shock. Using rate ramps the scenarios from rates up 300 basis points
to down 100 basis points are less than 1.0% different than the rate shock
scenarios. For the rates down 200 and 300 scenarios, which are highly
unlikely, the rate ramps show about 5.0% less exposure than rate shocks
primarily because management has more time to compensate for the modeled sharp
decline in Prime.
The above
analysis also shows the Corporation’s net interest income would decrease if
rates decline. This results from several types of deposit products‘s
current offering rates being at or near the floor for pricing. For
instance, savings accounts were being paid .30% as of December 31,
2008. Management is only able to reduce the rate to zero; therefore,
any reduction in the savings rate only benefits earnings in the case of a 30
basis point rate decline. Since most loan rates would be able to
reprice lower under all three declining rate scenarios and the deposit rate
decreases are limited, the Corporation would have less earnings under a
declining rate scenario. It is likely that management would control
the reduction in loan rates to prevent an actual reduction in net interest
income in a downward rate environment.
The
assumptions and analysis of the interest rate risk is based on historical
experience during varied economic cycles. Management believes these
assumptions to be appropriate; however, actual results could vary significantly.
Management uses this analysis to identify trends in interest rate sensitivity
and determine if action is necessary to mitigate asset liability
risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
ENB
Financial Corp
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ENB Financial Corp (the
“Corporation) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of ENB Financial Corp as of December
31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As
discussed in Note Q to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements.
We were
not engaged to examine management’s assertions about the effectiveness of ENB
Financial Corp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2008, included in the accompanying “Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting” and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion
thereon.

NOTE
A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature
of Operations:
ENB
Financial Corp, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ephrata National Bank,
provides financial services to Northern Lancaster County and
surrounding communities. ENB Financial Corp, a bank holding company,
was formed on July 1, 2008, and is the successor to Ephrata National Bank, which
existed as a stand alone national bank since formation in 1881. The
Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Ephrata National Bank offers a full array
banking services including loan and deposit products for both personal and
commercial customers, as well as trust and investment services, through nine
office locations.
Basis
of Presentation:
The
consolidated financial statements of ENB Financial Corp and its subsidiary,
Ephrata National Bank, (collectively the “Corporation”) conform to U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these
statements requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount 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. Material estimates of the Corporation, including the
allowance for loan losses, the fair market value of securities available for
sale, the valuation of foreclosed real estate, other than temporary investment
impairments, intangible assets, and deferred tax assets or liabilities, are
evaluated regularly by management. Actual results could differ from
the reported estimates given different conditions or assumptions.
The
accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform with U.S.
GAAP and to general practices within the banking industry. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The following is a summary
of the more significant policies.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are identified as
cash and due from banks, and includes cash on hand, collection items, amounts
due from banks, and interest bearing deposits with other banks with maturities
of less than 90 days.
Securities
Available for Sale:
The
Corporation classifies its entire portfolio of debt and equity securities as
available for sale securities, which the Corporation reports at fair
value. Any appreciation or depreciation in the portfolio is reported
as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity, net of deferred income
taxes. The constant yield method is used for the amortization of
premiums and the accretion of discounts for all of the Corporation’s securities
with the exception of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and index
amortizing notes (“IANs”). The constant yield method maintains a
stable yield on the instrument through its maturity. For CMOs and
IANs, a two-step/pro-ration method is used for amortization and
accretion. The first step is a pro-ration based on the current pay
down. This component ensures that the book price stays level with
par. The second step amortizes or accretes the remaining premium or
discount to the calculated final amortization or accretion date based on the
current 3-month constant prepayment rates. Net gains or losses
realized on sales or calls of securities are reported as gains or losses on
security transactions during the year of sale, using the specific identification
method.
Other
Than Temporary Impairment (OTTI)
Management
monitors all of the Corporation’s securities for OTTI on a monthly basis and
will determine whether any impairment should be recorded on a quarterly
basis. A number of factors are considered in determining whether a
security is impaired, including, but not limited to the following:
|
·
|
period
of time the security has had unrealized
losses,
|
|
·
|
percentage
of unrealized loss,
|
|
·
|
the
ability and intent of management to hold the security until
maturity,
|
|
·
|
type
of security, and
|
|
·
|
market
dynamics impacting the market and liquidity of the
security.
|
Management
will more closely evaluate those securities that have unrealized losses of 10%
or more and have had unrealized losses for more than twelve
months. If management determines that the declines in value of the
security are not temporary, or if management does not have the ability to hold
the security until maturity, which is the case with equity securities, than
management will record impairment on the security. The amount of
impairment is the
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
difference
between the securities book value and current fair market value determined
by obtaining independent market pricing. Impairment is recording as
loss on securities.
Loans
and Allowance for Loan Losses:
The
Corporation reports loans receivable at their outstanding principal balances,
reduced by any charge-offs and net of any deferred loan origination fees or
costs. Net loan origination fees and costs are deferred and recognized as an
adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the loan.
In
general, fixed rate residential mortgage loans originated by the Corporation,
and held for sale, are carried in the aggregate at the lower of cost or
market. Such mortgage loans are sold to Fannie Mae and serviced by
the Corporation. The Corporation also originates loans for immediate
sale to Wells Fargo. The Corporation does not service any mortgages
sold to Wells Fargo.
Interest
accrues daily on outstanding loan balances. Generally, the accrual of
interest discontinues when the ability to collect the loan becomes doubtful or
when a loan becomes more than 90 days past due as to principal and interest.
Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest based on the
expectation of future payments and/or the sufficiency of the underlying
collateral.
The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by management to
be adequate to provide for probable losses that can be reasonably
anticipated. The monthly provision for loan losses is an expense
which increases the allowance, while charge-offs net of recoveries decrease the
allowance. The Corporation makes periodic credit reviews of the loan
portfolio and considers current economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience, and other factors in determining the adequacy of the reserve
balance. Loans determined to be uncollectible are charged to the
allowance during the period in which such determination is made.
In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan," and as amended by Statement No.118, a loan is impaired when it is
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all principal and interest
payments due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.
The
Corporation individually evaluates commercial and commercial real estate loans
for impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk
classifications. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same
as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two categories
overlap. The Corporation may choose to place a loan on non-accrual
status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability while not
classifying the loan as impaired, provided the loan is not a commercial or
commercial real estate classification. Factors considered by
management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral
value. The amount of impairment for these types of loans is
determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash
flows related to the loan using the original interest rate and its recorded
value or, as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the
difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of
the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based
on the fair value of the collateral.
Mortgage
loans secured by one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are
considered to be large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans and are
measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience
insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally
are not classified as impaired. Management determines the
significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration all circumstances concerning the loan, the creditworthiness and
payment history of the borrower, the length of the payment delay, and the amount
of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Other
Real Estate Owned:
Other
real estate owned (“OREO”) represents properties acquired through customer loan
defaults. Properties acquired through the default of loans, are recorded at the
lower of fair value less disposal costs at acquisition date, or the loan
balance. Fair value is determined by current appraisals. Costs associated with
holding other real estate are charged to operational expense. OREO is recorded
as other assets on the Balance Sheets.
Mortgage
Servicing Rights (“MSRs”):
The
Corporation has agreements for the express purpose of selling loans in the
secondary market. The Corporation maintains all servicing rights for
the loans sold through Fannie Mae. Originated MSRs are recorded by
allocating total costs incurred between the loans and servicing rights based on
their relative fair values. MSRs are amortized in proportion to the
estimated servicing income over the estimated life of the servicing
portfolio. Impairment is
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
evaluated
based on the fair value of the right, based on portfolio interest rates and
prepayment characteristics. MSRs are a component of other assets on
the Balance Sheets.
Premises
and Equipment:
Premises
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of generally fifteen to thirty-nine years for buildings and
improvements and five to ten years for furniture and
equipment. Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are
charged to operational expense as incurred, while major improvements are
capitalized. Net gains or losses upon disposition are included in other income
or operational expense, as applicable.
Bank-Owned
Life Insurance:
Bank-owned
life insurance (“BOLI”) is carried by the Corporation at the cash surrender
value of the underlying policies. Income earned on the policies is based on any
increase in cash surrender value in the policies less the cost of the insurance,
which varies according to age and health of the insured. The life insurance policies
owned by the Corporation had a cash surrender value of $14,512,000 and
$13,871,000 as of December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
Long-Lived
Assets:
Long-lived
assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be
recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are
recognized based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair
market value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair market value, less cost to sell
or cost to dispose.
Advertising
Costs:
The
Corporation expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $411,000, $415,000, and
$423,000, respectively.
Income
Taxes:
In
accordance with FASB Statement No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” an asset
and liability approach is followed for financial accounting and reporting for
income taxes. Accordingly, a net deferred tax asset or liability is recorded in
the financial statements for the tax effects of temporary differences, which are
items of income and expense reported in different periods for income tax and
financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax expense is determined by the change
in the assets or liabilities for deferred taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes.
Earnings
per Share:
The
Corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure with no stock option
plans that would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the periods.
Comprehensive
Income:
The
Corporation is required to present comprehensive income in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements for all periods presented. Other
comprehensive income comprises of unrealized holding gains and losses on the
available for sale securities portfolio. The Corporation has elected
to report the effects of other comprehensive income as part of the Statement of
Stockholders’ Equity.
Segment
Disclosure:
FASB
issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" in June 1997. This statement establishes standards for the
manner in which public business enterprises report information about segments in
the annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures
regarding financial products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers. The Corporation has only one operating segment consisting
primarily of its banking and fiduciary activity.
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
Pension
Plans:
The
Corporation has a noncontributory defined contribution pension plan covering
substantially all employees. The Corporation contributes 7.5% of qualifying
employees’ covered compensation, plus 5.7% of covered compensation in excess of
the Social Security wage base, which is charged to operating expense and funded
on a current basis.
Trust
Assets and Income:
Assets
held by the Money Management Group in a fiduciary or agency capacity for
customers are not included in the Corporation’s balance sheets since these items
are not assets of the Corporation. In accordance with banking industry practice,
trust income is recognized on a cash basis, and such income does not differ
significantly from amounts that would be recognized on an accrual
basis. Trust income is reported in the Corporation’s income
statements under other income.
Reclassification
of Comparative Amounts:
Certain
comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to
current-year classifications. Such reclassifications had no effect on
net income or stockholders’ equity.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards:
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS
141(R)), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in an
acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a
business combination. FAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial
position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or
permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The
Standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued
Staff Position No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No.
157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address
Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement
under Statement 13, which removed leasing transactions accounted for
under FAS No. 13 and related guidance from the scope of FAS No.
157. Also in February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No.157-2,
Partial Deferral of the
Effective Date of Statement 157, which deferred the effective date of FAS
No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did
not have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or
financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB
No. 51. FAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that
a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as
minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that
should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.
Among other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and
the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of
the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. FAS
No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results
of operations or financial position.
In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, to require enhanced disclosures about
derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new standard has revised
financial reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring more transparency about how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted
for under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities; and how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also requires entities to provide more information about their
liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
are
credit risk-related. Further, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to
enable financial statement users to locate important information about
derivative instruments. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, with early application encourage. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results
of operations or financial position.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-4, Accounting for Convertible Securities with
Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjusted Conversion
Ratios. This Issue provides transition guidance for conforming
changes made to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with
Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjusted Conversion
Ratios, that resulted from EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, and FAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liability and Equity. The
conforming changes are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application
permitted. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a
material effect on the Corporation’s 2009 results of operations or financial
position.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-3, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
and Repurchase Financing Transactions. This FSP concludes that
a transferor and transferee should not separately account for a transfer of a
financial asset and a related repurchase financing unless (a) the two
transactions have a valid and distinct business or economic purpose for being
entered into separately and (b) the repurchase financing does not result in the
initial transferor regaining control over the financial asset. The
FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on
or after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material
effect on the Corporation’s 2009 results of operations or financial
position.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should
be considered in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used in
estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS
No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. This standard is intended to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS
No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair
value of the asset under FAS No. 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The measurement provisions of this standard will apply
only to intangible assets of the Corporation acquired after the effective
date. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material
effect on the Corporation’s 2009 results of operations or financial
position.

Notes to
Financial Statements
There are
67 positions that are considered temporarily impaired at December 31,
2008. The Corporation evaluates both equity and fixed maturity
positions for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and
more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant such
evaluation.
Recent
market conditions throughout the financial sector have made the evaluation
regarding the possible impairment of mortgaged backed and CMO securities
difficult to fully determine given the volatility of their pricing, based not
only on rate changes, but collateral uncertainty as well. The majority of the
MBS and CMO’s owned by the Corporation are backed by the US
government. Approximately 20% of the Corporations MBS and CMO’s
are private label CMO’s, not backed by the U.S. government. As of
December 31, 2008, seven private label securities were held with six of the
seven rated AAA by both Moodys and S&P. The remaining security
was rated below investment grade. Management evaluates all of the
private label securities on a monthly basis and intends to continue to hold
these securities. Management has concluded that as of December 31, 2008, the
declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines, and the
Corporation does have the intent and ability to hold those securities until
maturity or to allow a market recovery.

As a
member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Corporation has access to significant
credit facilities. Borrowings from FHLB are secured with a blanket
security agreement and required investment of FHLB member bank
stock. As part of the security agreement the Corporation
maintains unencumbered qualifying assets (principally 1-4 family residential
mortgage loans and U.S. agency notes, bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and
collateralized mortgage obligations) in an amount at least as much as the
advances from the FHLB. Additionally, the Corporation’s FHLB stock of
$4,728,400 and $3,924,400 at December 31, 2008, and 2007 respectively, is also
pledged to secure these advances.
The
Corporation had a FHLB maximum borrowing capacity of $319.5 million as of
December 31, 2008, with remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $252.5
million. The borrowing arrangement with FHLB is subject to annual
renewal. The maximum borrowing capacity is recalculated
quarterly.
The terms
of FHLB convertible borrowings allow the FHLB to convert the interest rate to an
adjustable rate based on the three-month London Interbank Offering Rate
(“LIBOR”). The rates on these instruments can change quarterly, once certain
conditions or rate lockout periods are met. At conversion date, the
Corporation has the option of paying the borrowing off or continuing to borrow
under the new terms of the convertible borrowing.
As of
December 31, 2008, the Corporation had six repurchase agreements; securities
sold under an agreement to repurchase, for $30 million. The
Corporation pledged securities with a fair market value of $40.7 million as of
December 31, 2008 as collateral for these borrowings. One $5.0
million repurchase instrument is at a fixed rate with no call
features. The remaining $25.0 million of instruments have call
features with different variable to fixed and fixed to variable rate
provisions.

H – CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
On July
1, 2008, ENB Financial Corp, a bank holding company, was formed. At
that time all shares of Ephrata National Bank stock were converted to ENB
Financial Corp shares on a one for one basis. The 130,443 treasury shares owned
by the Bank as of June 30, 2008, were retired and the Corporation began
existence with 2,869,557 outstanding shares of common stock.
As a bank
holding company, the Board of Directors now has authority to purchase the
Corporation’s common stock without prior shareholder or regulator
consent. On August 14, 2008, the Board authorized a stock buyback to
last one year for the purchase of up to 140,000 shares. Through December 31,
2008, 32,400 shares were purchased at an average weighted cost of $25.71.
Currently two stock plans are in place, a nondiscriminatory employee stock
purchase plan, which allows employees to purchase shares at a 10% discount from
the stocks fair market value at the end of each quarter, and a dividend
reinvestment plan. Both plans issue shares from treasury shares
acquired. As of December 31, 2008, the Corporation held 25,362
treasury shares, at a weighted average cost of $25.71 per share, with a basis of
$652,000.
NOTE
I – RETIREMENT PLAN
The
Corporation has a defined contribution pension plan (the “plan”) covering all
employees aged 21 or older who work 1,000 or greater hours in a calendar
year and have completed at least one full year of employment. The
Corporation contributes 7.5% of the covered compensation of all plan
participants, plus 5.7% of covered compensation in excess of the Social Security
wage base, which was $102,000 for 2008, $97,500 for 2007, and $94,200 for
2006. For purposes of the plan, covered compensation was limited to
$230,000 in 2008, $225,000 in 2007, and $220,000 in 2006. Total
expense of the plan was $527,000, $476,000 and $412,000, for 2008, 2007, and
2006 respectively. The Corporation’s pension plan is fully
funded.
The
Corporation also provides an optional 401(K) plan, in which employees may elect
to defer pre-tax salary dollars, subject to the maximum annual Internal Revenue
Service contribution amounts. The contribution maximum for 2008 was $15,500 for
persons under age 50, and $20,500 for persons over 50 years in age. The 401(K)
plan was amended at the end of 2002 to allow for employer
contributions. No employer contributions were made into the plan for
2008, 2007 or 2006.

NOTE
J - DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Prior to
1999 directors of the Corporation had the ability to defer their directors' fees
into a directors deferred compensation plan For the directors who
elected to have their compensation deferred, a contract was signed for each
period of deferred pay. At the time of deferment, the Corporation
used the amount of the annual director's fee to pay the premiums on the life
insurance policies, insuring the individual lives of the participating
directors. The Corporation could continue to pay premiums after the
deferment period, or could allow the policies to fund annual premiums through
loans against the policies cash surrender value. The Corporation has
continued to pay the premiums on the life insurance policies and no loans exist
on the policies.
The
Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of all life insurance policies on the
directors. The life insurance proceeds that the Corporation will
ultimately receive are designed to fund its present and future obligations to
the directors under these deferred compensation agreements; accordingly, the
amount of deferred compensation to be paid to each director was actuarially
determined based on the amount of life insurance the annual director's fees were
able to purchase. This amount varies for each director depending on age, general
health, and the number of years until the director is entitled to begin
receiving payments.
The life
insurance policies had an aggregate face amount of $3,911,000.00 for December
31, 2008 and $3,953,000 for December 31, 2007. The death benefits
totaled $6,363,000 and $6,320,000 as of December 31, 2008, and 2007
respectively. The cash surrender value of the above policies totaled
$3,573,000 and $3,404,000 as of December 31, 2008, and 2007
respectively. The net present value of the vested portion of deferred
payments totaled $1,883,000 at December 31, 2008, and $2,027,000 at
December 31, 2007. The interest rate used to discount these obligations was
5.50% for 2008, 6.00% for 2007 and 6.50% for 2006. These net present value
amounts are included in "Other liabilities" on the Balance Sheets. Total charges
to expense for deferred compensation amounted to $145,000 for 2008,
$171,000 for 2007, and $109,000 for 2006, and are included in "Other operating
expenses" in the Statements of Income.
NOTE
K – COMPENSATORY OBLIGATIONS
In
October 2008, the Corporation recognized a $1,222,000 liability and
corresponding expense in connection with a voluntary separation
package. The separation package was offered to qualifying individuals
as part of a corporate wide realignment of resources to improve
efficiency. The liability includes provisions for severance
compensation and medical insurance coverage. It will be paid out
bi-weekly, following the designated payroll schedule, until all obligations are
fully satisfied in 2010. The balance of the separation liability
account was $1,188,000 as of December 31, 2008. No further liability
or expense is anticipated in connection with the separation package in 2009 or
beyond.

Financial Statements
The ability to realize the benefit of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon a number of factors, including the
generation of future taxable income, the ability to carry back taxes paid in
previous years, the ability to offset capital losses with capital gains, the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities and certain tax planning
strategies. A valuation allowance of $262,000 was established
during the year ending December 31, 2006, to offset in its entirety the tax
benefits associated with certain impaired securities that management believes
may not be realizable. Due to sales in 2007 and 2008 of previously
impaired securities at a book gain, this valuation allowance was reduced to
$125,000 as of December 31, 2008.
The
Corporation had a deferred tax asset of $820,000 and $381,000 for credits
related to Alternative Minimum Taxes (AMT) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007
respectively, and a deferred tax asset of $80,000 and $54,000 as of December 31,
2008 and 2007 respectively, for credits related to low income housing
credits. In addition, as of the end of 2008, the Bank had a deferred
tax asset of $89,000 related to a charitable contribution
carryover. No valuation has been established for these deferred
tax assets in view of the Bank’s ability to carry forward taxes paid in previous
years, and credits to future years, coupled with the anticipated future taxable
income as evidenced by the Corporation’s earnings potential.
NOTE
M – REGULATORY MATTERS AND RESTRICTIONS
(DOLLARS
IN THOUSANDS)
The
Corporation and the Bank are 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 Corporation’s financial statements.
Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors. The quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy, require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth below) of Tier 1 capital to average assets and
Tier 1 and total capital to risk weighted assets.
As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Corporation and Bank were categorized as “well
capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. There are no conditions or events since that notification
that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
In
addition, to the capital guidelines, certain laws restrict the amount of
dividends paid to stockholders in any given year. The approval of the
OCC shall be required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any
year shall exceed the total of its net profits of that year combined with
retained net profits of the preceding two years. Under this
restriction, the Corporation could declare dividends in 2009, without the
approval of the OCC, or approximately $2.1 million, plus an additional amount
equal to the Corporation’s net profits for 2009, up to the date of any such
dividend declaration.

NOTE
O - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the
normal course of business the Corporation makes various commitments that are not
reflected in the accompanying financial statements. These are commonly referred
to as off-balance sheet commitments and include firm commitments to extend
credit, unused lines of credit, and open letters of credit. On
December 31, 2008, firm loan commitments totaled $15 million; unused lines of
credit totaled $69 million; and open letters of credit totaled
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
approximately
$14 million. The sum of these commitments, $98 million, represents total
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by customers with respect
to these financial instruments; however the vast majority of these commitments
are typically not drawn upon. The same credit policies for on-balance-sheet
instruments apply for making commitments and conditional obligations and the
actual credit losses could arise from the exercise of these commitments is
expected to compare favorably with the loan loss experience on the loan
portfolio taken as a whole. Commitments to extend credit on December 31, 2007,
totaled $100 million, representing firm loan commitments of $13 million, unused
lines of credit of $75 million, and open letters of credit totaling $12
million.
Firm
commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit are agreements to lend
to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s credit worthiness is
evaluated on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation
of the customer. The required collateral may vary but could include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing
commercial properties.
Open
letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily
issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Most guarantees
expire within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Various
assets support the collateral of commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary.
NOTE
P - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The
Corporation determines concentrations of credit risk by reviewing loans by
borrowers, geographical area, and loan purpose. The amount of credit the
extended to a single borrower or group of borrowers is capped by the legal
lending limit, which is defined as 15% of the Risk Based Capital, less the
allowance for loan losses. The Corporation’s lending policy further
restricts the amount to 75% of the legal lending limit. As of
December 31, 2008, the Corporation’s legal lending limit was $10,928,000, and
the Corporation’s policy limit was $8,196,000. As of December 31,
2008, one lending relationship to a local municipality
totaled $8,858,000 or 12.1% of risk based capital, which exceeded the
Corporation’s internal lending policy limit, but not the legal lending
limit.
Geographically,
the primary lending area for the Corporation encompasses Lancaster, Lebanon and
Berks counties of Pennsylvania, with the majority of the loans made in
Lancaster County. The ability of debtors’ to honor their loan
agreements is impacted by the health of the local economy. The
Corporation’s immediate market area benefits from a diverse economy, which has
resulted in a diverse loan portfolio. As a community bank, the
largest amount of loans outstanding consists of personal mortgages, residential
rental loans, and personal loans secured by real estate. Beyond
personal lending, the Corporation’s business and commercial lending includes
loans for agricultural, construction, specialized manufacturing, service
industries, many types of small businesses, and loans to non-profit entities and
governmental units.
Management
evaluates concentrations of credit based on loan purpose on a quarterly
basis. The Corporation’s greatest concentration of loans by purpose
is residential real estate, which comprises $163.1 million, or 40.0%, of the
$407.8 million total loans outstanding. Residential real estate
consists of first mortgages and home equity loans. A concentration in
commercial real estate of 37.5%, or $152.9 million, also exists; however, within
that category there is not a concentration by industry. More
specifically within these larger purpose categories, management monitors on a
quarterly basis the largest concentrations of non-consumer credit based on the
North American Industrial Classification System (“NAICS”). As of
December 31, 2008, the largest specific industry type categories were
residential real estate investment loans with a balance of $37.1, million or
9.1%, of net loans, and non-residential investment real estate of $26.0 million
or 6.4% of net loans, and public finance activities of
$20.9 million, or 5.1%, of net loans.
To
evaluate risk for the securities portfolio the Corporation reviews both
geographical concentration and credit ratings. As of December 31,
2008, the Corporation held obligations of state and political subdivisions
issued by municipalities located within the state of Pennsylvania totaling $13.3
million, which is 25.3% of the municipal
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
portfolio
and 6.3% of the total portfolio. Internal policy requires municipal bonds
purchased to be rated at least A1 by Moody and/or A+ by Standard & Poor’s
(‘S&P”) at the time of purchase, which is the highest single A insurance
rating by both services. Presently, $15.8 million or 30.0% of the municipal
bonds are below the A+/A- credit ratings the Corporation requires at the time of
purchase. Corporate bonds must carry an initial credit rating of A3
by Moody and A- for S&P and at all times corporate bonds are to be
investment grade, which is defined as Baa3 for Moody and BBB- for S&P, or
above. Approximately 92.2% of the Corporation’s corporate bonds carry
at least a credit rating of A3 by Moody and A- for S&P as of December 31,
2008.
As of
December 31, 2008, the Corporation held $20.5 million of book value in private
label collateralized mortgage obligations (PLCMO’s). The PLCMO’s are
not backed by the U.S. government. A total of seven PLCMO instruments
were held as of December 31, 2008, with six of the seven instruments rated AAA
by Moody and S&P. The remaining security, with a book value of
$3.8 million, was rated below investment grade.
NOTE
Q - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted the provisions of
FAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial
liabilities. FAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using
fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies
whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured
at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in
any new circumstances. The FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-1,
Application of FASB Statement
No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That
Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under Statement 13, which removed leasing transactions
accounted for under FAS No. 13 and related guidance from the scope of FAS No.
157. The FASB also issued Staff Position No.157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective
Date of Statement 157, which deferred the effective date of FAS No. 157
for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008.
FAS
No. 157 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the
level of observable pricing utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair
value. The three broad levels defined by FAS No. 157 hierarchy are as
follows:
Level
I:
|
Quoted
prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
as of the reported date.
|
Level
II:
|
Pricing
inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are
either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported
date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items
for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items
that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of
which can be directly observed.
|
Level
III:
|
Assets
and liabilities that have little to no observable pricing as of the
reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are
measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs
into the determination of fair value require significant management
judgment or estimation.
|
The
following table presents the assets reported on the balance sheet at their fair
value as of December 31, 2008, by level within the fair value
hierarchy. As required by FAS No. 157, financial assets and
liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement.

On
December 31, 2008, the Corporation held one private label bond that was valued
using level III inputs due to the limited reliable observable inputs that were
available for below investment grade private label mortgage backed securities
and volatility of the market for this type of security. The security
had a book value of $3,810,000 with a fair market value of $3,109,000 using
level three inputs.
ENB
Financial Corp
Notes to
Financial Statements
Prices on
this private label security were calculated by a third party. Due to
broad dislocations in the credit markets, and the lack of trading and new
issuance in private label CMO securities, market price indications generally
reflect the lack of liquidity in the market in addition to credit
concerns. The third party obtained data about the deal structure and
the underlying collateral. The collateral was analyzed in terms of
its “quality” – or its ability to generate cash – based on its potential for
eventually defaulting. The cash generated by the collateral was
allocated across the deal’s capital structure on a priority-of-claims basis to
see which investors get paid – and which suffer losses. The cash
flows of the security were discounted to December 31, 2008, to determine an
intrinsic value. Based on the third-party analysis and the current
investment ratings of the securities, and because the Corporation has the
ability and intent to hold the investments until a recovery of fair value, which
may be maturity, the Corporation does not consider these assets to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2008. However, continued price
declines or actual credit losses could result in a write-down of this
security.
Financial
instruments are considered Level III when their values are determined using
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at
least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In
addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level III
financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily
observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial
instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value
requires significant management judgment or estimation. The following
table presents the changes in the Level III fair-value category for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
The

inputs (Level III):

The
Corporation had a total of $2,889,000 of impaired loans as of December 31, 2008,
with $455,000 of specifically allocated allowance against these
loans. Impaired Loans are valued based on a discounted present value
of expected future cash flow.
Other
real estate owned (“OREO”) is measured at fair value, less cost to sell at the
date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to
foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets
are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to
sell. Management has an agreement of sale for an amount less expected
settlement costs of $520,000. Income and expenses from operations and
changes in valuation allowance are included in the net expenses from
OREO. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $155,000 of
additional write-downs were recorded that impacted OREO.

NOTE
R - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(DOLLARS IN
THOUSANDS)
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments:
Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest
Payable
For these
short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair
value.
Securities
Available for Sale
Management
utilizes quoted market pricing for the fair value of the Corporation's
securities that are available for sale, if available. If a quoted
market rate is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices
for similar securities.
Loans
Held for Sale
Loans
held for sale are individual loans for which the Corporation has a firm sales
commitment; therefore, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair
value.
Loans
The fair
value of fixed and variable rate loans is estimated by discounting back the
scheduled future cash flows of the particular loan product, using the market
interest rates of comparable loan products in the Corporation’s greater market
area, with the same general structure, comparable credit ratings, and for the
same remaining maturities.
Bank
Owned Life Insurance
Fair
value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance
policies.
Mortgage
Servicing Asset
The fair
value of mortgage servicing assets is based on the present value of future cash
flows for pools of mortgages, stratified by rate and maturity date.
Deposits
The fair
value of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and interest bearing
demand deposit and savings accounts was based on the amount payable on demand at
the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is
estimated by discounting back the expected cash flows of the time deposit using
market interest rates from the Corporation’s greater market area currently
offered for similar time deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings
The fair
value for overnight borrowings is equal to the carrying value. The
fair value of a term borrowing is estimated by comparing the rate currently
offered for the same type of borrowing instrument with a matching remaining
term.
Firm
Commitments to Extend Credit, Lines of Credit and Open Letters of
Credit
These
financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair
values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by
the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of
credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual
fee over the term of the commitment, using fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for
disclosure purposes. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments
are presented in Note O.
The
carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial
instruments at December 31 are as follows:

Controls
and Procedures
|
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Management
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
the Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the
effectiveness of the design and the operation of the Corporation’s disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2008, pursuant to Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer along with the Treasurer (Principal Accounting Officer) concluded that
the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008,
are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the
Corporation required to be in the Corporation’s periodic filings under the
Exchange Act.
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls.
There
have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
(c)
Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
The
Corporation is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation
of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial
statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and
necessarily include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates
and judgments.
Management
of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable
financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting
as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by
management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits.
Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any
system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or
overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness
may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control
will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation.
Management
assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2008, in relation to criteria for effective internal control
over financial reporting as described in "Internal Control - Integrated
Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December
31, 2008, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective
and meets the criteria of the "Internal Control – Integrated
Framework".
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation to
provide only management’s report in this annual report.
