Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and to general practices within the banking
industry. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for fair presentation have been
included. Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to
conform to the current period’s reporting format. Such
reclassifications did not affect net income or stockholders equity.
ENB
Financial Corp (the “Corporation”) is the successor issuer of the Ephrata
National Bank (the “Bank”). On July 1, 2008, ENB Financial Corp
became the bank holding company for Ephrata National Bank, which is now a wholly
owned subsidiary of ENB Financial Corp. This Form 10-Q, for the first
quarter of 2009, is reporting on the results of operations and financial
condition of ENB Financial Corp.
Operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
2009. For further information refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in ENB Financial Corp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Fair
Value Presentation
|
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 tables present the assets reported on the balance sheet at their fair
value as of March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and March 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 March
31, 2009, 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 $3,634,000 with a fair market value of $2,136,000 using
level three inputs.

Prices on
the private label security shown under Level III inputs above 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 March 31,
2009, 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 March 31, 2009. 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 March 31, 2009.
The
following represent fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs (Level III):

The
Corporation had a total of $2,794,000 of impaired loans as of March 31, 2009,
with $381,000 of specifically allocated allowance against these
loans. 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. The Corporation had a total of $690,000 of impaired loans as of
March 31, 2008, with $192,000 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 had a previous agreement of sale which did not occur
in April of 2008. Subsequently management wrote down the OREO
property based on a new 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.

Commitments
and Contingent Liabilities
|
In order
to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business,
the Corporation makes various commitments that are not reflected in the
accompanying financial statements. These commitments include firm
commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and open letters of
credit. As of March 31, 2009, firm loan commitments were $4.7
million, unused lines of credit were $78.8 million, and open letters of credit
were $14.5 million. The total of these commitments was $98.0 million,
which represents the Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by its customers with respect to these financial
instruments. The actual credit losses that may arise from these
commitments are expected to compare favorably with the Corporation’s loan loss
experience on its loan portfolio taken as a whole. The Corporation
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for balance sheet financial instruments.

A
construction contract was signed subsequent to the reporting date but prior to
the filing of this quarterly report for $1.5 million to renovate the Denver
branch in 2009. Construction is expected to begin in May 2009 with completion
scheduled for December 2009. No payments were made against this
construction contract at the time of this filing.
On
November 5, 2008, the Corporation filed a Form 8-K announcing a one-time charge
of $1,222,000 in connection with workforce realignment. The workforce
realignment is one element of a larger business process improvement engagement
that the Corporation entered into with the consulting division of the Bank’s
core processor in early 2008. The $1,222,000 charge is for salary and
employee benefit costs for 35 employees that accepted a voluntary early
separation package. As of March 31, 2009, $845,000 of contractual
obligations remains to be paid to these employees.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
|
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 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 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 Company’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 Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement.) This FSP provides guidance on the accounting for
certain types of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
conversion. Additionally, this FSP specifies that issuers of such
instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in
a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when
interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The FSP is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
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
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
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 Company’s
results of operations or financial position.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. This FSP amends FASB
Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to improve an employer’s
disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other
postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets required by
the FSP are to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2009. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material
effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial
position.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly. This FSP relates to determining fair values when
there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent
distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain
if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values
when markets have become inactive. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt this
FSP for the interim and annual periods ending after March 15,
2009. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of the FSP will have on the Corporation’s results of operations.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, which relates to fair value disclosures for any
financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of
companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for
these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP now
requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and
quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial
instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value. FSP No.
FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009, but entities may early adopt this FSP for the interim and annual
periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Corporation is currently
evaluating the impact the adoption of the FSP will have on the Corporation’s
results of operations.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which provides additional guidance
designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and
presenting impairment losses on securities. FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
but entities may early adopt this FSP for the interim and annual periods ending
after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to
have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial
position.
The FASB
and SEC have issued a number of other accounting rules during late 2008 and
throughout the beginning of 2009. These additional promulgations have
no relevance to the business operations of the Corporation, and therefore, will
not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial reporting.

Results
of Operations
Overview
The
Corporation recorded net income of $1,081,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2009, a 22.5% decrease from the $1,395,000 earned during the same period in
2008. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.38 for the first
three months of 2009, compared to $0.49 for the same period in
2008.
The
largest impact to the Corporation’s earnings resulted from the increase in the
FDIC insurance expense. The FDIC has increased the assessment rates
for all banks and instituted a one-time special assessment. These
combined actions increased FDIC insurance to $417,000 for the first three months
of 2009 compared to $14,000 for the same period in 2008.
Despite
economic disruption and a rapidly changing rate environment, the Corporation’s
net interest income remained steady with a net interest margin of 3.48% for the
first quarter of 2009 compared to 3.46% in the fourth quarter of 2008, and 3.53%
in the first quarter of 2008. Other income, excluding the gain or
loss on securities, increased 13.1% or $174,000 for the first three months of
2009, compared to 2008. Meanwhile, operational costs for the three
months
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
ended
March 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, increased at a pace of
23.4%, or $1,031,000, including the increase in FDIC insurance
expenses. Excluding the additional FDIC insurance expense, total
operating expenses would have increased 14.3%. The first quarter 2009
operational expenses were also elevated compared to 2008 due to $204,000 of
consulting expenses for which there was no comparative activity in
2008.
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 ROA and ROE for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009, decreased from the same quarter of 2008 due to the decline in
the Corporation’s income.

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

The
following discussion analyzes each of these five components:
Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income (NII) represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s
operating income. Net interest income typically generates more than
75% of the Corporation’s gross revenue stream. The overall
performance of the Corporation is highly dependent on the changes in net
interest income since it comprises such a significant portion of the operating
income.
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 $432,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009,
compared to $445,000 for the same period in 2008.
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, management has allowed
the tax-free municipal securities portfolio to decline as a percentage of the
securities portfolio until the Corporation resumes a normal tax
position. This strategy has caused the tax equivalent adjustment to
decline compared to the first quarter of 2008.

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 U.S. 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 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, which is the
overnight rate that financial institutions charge other financial institutions
to buy or sell overnight funds. The Federal Funds rate has declined
from 5.25% in August 2007 to 1.00% by October 2008. On December 16,
2008, the Federal Reserve Bank cut the Federal Funds rate from 1.00% to a target
rate of 0.00% to 0.25%. The Federal Funds rate has effectively
remained at 0.25% for the entire first quarter of 2009, and is the rate at the
time of this filing. 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 has also 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.
During
2008, short-term interest rates decreased dramatically, and the U.S. Treasury
curve resumed a more normal, positively sloped yield curve. Initially
in early 2008, mid-term and long-term rates did not decline, making for a more
advantageous environment for obtaining margin on loans and securities above cost
of funds. In the fourth quarter of 2008, short-term rates again
decreased. This time mid-term and long-term U.S. Treasury rates
declined, but the positive slope of the yield curve remained. Since
deposits and borrowings generally price off short-term rates, the significant
rate drops on the short end of the rate curve permitted management to reduce the
overall cost of funds during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. Over
this period, management continued to reprice time deposits and borrowings to
lower levels. Rates on interest bearing core deposit accounts were
also reduced during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, with a majority of the
rate reductions occurring from October 2008 through March
2009. Meanwhile, management continued to invest in securities and
originate loans at longer terms, where the U.S.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 U.S.Treasury curve
retaining a significant positive slope for 2009, based on the economic data
currently available. This allows management to continue to price the
vast majority of liabilities at lower short-term rates, while pricing loans and
investments off the 5-year and 10-year Treasury rates that currently are
significantly above short-term rates. .
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Management
currently anticipates that the Corporation’s margin will stabilize in 2009, as
savings on interest-bearing liabilities are generally offset by declines in
asset yields
For the
first quarter of 2009, the Corporation’s NII on a FTE basis increased by
$286,000 compared to the same period in 2008, a 5.4%
increase. Interest income and interest expense for the quarter ending
March 31, 2009, decreased $179,000, or 2.1%, and $478,000 or 12.7% compared to
the same period in 2008.
The
earnings and yields on loans were lower for the first three months of 2009
compared to the same period in the prior year. The earnings and
yields were both negatively impacted due to the sharp drop in the Prime rate,
which affected the Prime-based portion of the Corporation’s loan
portfolio. There are times when sufficient growth in the loan
portfolio can make up for decreases in yield and still allow for higher overall
interest income on loans. However, because the Prime rate started
2008 at 7.25% and declined to 3.25% by the end of 2008, the loss on yield was
too significant to be covered by additional loan growth. Loan growth
was slow through most of 2008, with an acceleration of growth in the final
quarter. By the time that the loan demand accelerated, loan rates had
fallen substantially, meaning that the majority of loan growth in the past year
was at rates lower than the loans already on the balance
sheet. Additionally, many consumers and businesses are taking the
opportunity presented by a historically low Prime rate to borrow on lines of
credit that have rates that float on the Prime rate. This type of
growth reduces the amount of income generated on loans
substantially.
Interest-bearing
liabilities grew steadily through 2008, and growth quickened in the first
quarter of 2009. With significantly lower interest rates, total
interest expense declined despite the increase in balances. Lower
rates on all deposit types helped to reduce interest expense by $459,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 2008. Demand and
savings deposits reprice in entirety whenever the offering rates are
changed. This allows management to reduce interest cost rapidly;
however, it becomes difficult to continue to gain cost savings once offering
rates are as low as they can go. Therefore, the annualized rate on
demand and savings accounts has been nearly cut in half for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to last year that type of savings is not likely
to continue throughout the remainder of the year.
Time
deposits reprice over time according to their maturity schedule. This
enables management to both reduce and increase rates slowly over
time. Historically, the Corporation has seen increases in time
deposit balances when the equity markets decline, as investors attempt to
protect principal. This occurred to even a larger degree in 2008 and
into the first quarter of 2009 as the equity markets faced unprecedented
declines. The significant growth of the time deposit portfolio at low
rates means that the Corporation has additional funds to put to work on the
asset side while keeping interest expense costs low. Additionally,
time deposits that matured in the last year have mostly repriced to a lower rate
saving significant funding costs. The Corporation was able to reduce
interest expense on time deposits by $225,000 while increasing average balances
by $28.5 million. This effectively reduced the annualized rate paid
on time deposits by 86 basis points.
The
Corporation used both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement
liquidity generated by deposits during the first quarter of
2009. Most of the average balance increase occurred with long-term
deposits. Several of the existing long-term borrowings were
refinanced at significantly lower rates. Likewise, overnight Federal
funds rates declined throughout 2008, ending at historically low
rates. Because of a lower interest rate environment, the Corporation
was able to obtain additional funding at a lower total cost. The
Corporation increased average borrowings by $7.2 million in the first quarter of
2009, compared to the same quarter in 2008, reducing interest expense on
borrowings by $19,000. The low rates enabled the Corporation to
reduce the average annualized rate paid on borrowings by 37 basis
points.
The
following table shows a more detailed analysis of net interest income on a FTE
basis shown with all the major elements of the Corporation’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 a financial institution
with a NIM of 3.50%.

FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
The net
interest margin (“NIM”) was at 3.48% for the first three months of 2009 compared
to 3.53% for the same period in 2008. The net interest spread
increased nine basis points to 2.94% for the first quarter of 2009 from 2.85%
for the same period in 2008; however, the effect of non-interest bearing funds
dropped 14 basis points offsetting the increase in net interest
spread. The effect of non-interest bearing funds refers to the
benefit gained from deposits on which the Bank does not pay
interest. As rates go lower, the benefit of non-interest bearing
deposits is reduced because there is less difference between no-cost funds and
interest bearing liabilities. For example, if a savings account with
$10,000 earns 1%, the benefit for $10,000 non-interest bearing deposits is
equivalent to $100; but if the rate is reduced to 0.20%, then the benefit is
only $20. This assumes dollar for dollar replacement, which is not
realistic, but demonstrates the way the lower cost of funds affects the benefit
to non-interest bearing deposits.
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.
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 $150,000 to the allowance for the
three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $199,000 for the same period in
2008. 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:
|
·
|

loan loss experience by loan type

|
·
|

|
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 expense of
$150,000 for the first quarter was necessary to maintain the allowance for loan
losses at calculated levels. Management deems the current provision
as sufficient to provide for the growth in the loan portfolio, as well as minor
changes in credit risk. 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 March
31, 2009, at 1.04%, compared to 1.01% as of March 31, 2008.
Management
continues to evaluate the allowance for loan loss in relation to the growth of
the loan portfolio and its associated credit risk. Management
believes the provision and the allowance for loan losses are adequate to provide
for future loan losses based on the current portfolio and the current economic
environment. For further discussion of the calculation, see the
“Allowance for Loan Loss” section under Financial Condition.

Trust and
investment services revenue consists of income from traditional trust services
and income from alternative investment services provided through a third
party. For the first quarter of 2009, traditional trust service
income decreased $70,000, or 31.8% over the same period in 2008. The
traditional trust service income is comprised of fees that are fixed as a
percentage of the market value of the assets in each trust. The
decline in the market value of approximately 20% was primarily responsible for
the drop in fees. Alternative investment services income increased
$13,000, or 24.1% over the same period in 2008. The trust and
investment services area continues to be an area of strategic
focus. 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 increased by $169,000, or 55.0%, for the first
quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Overdraft
service charges are the largest component of this category as well as the
primary reason for the increase in this category. These fees comprise
92% of the total deposit service charges, which increased substantially to
$438,000 in 2009 from $267,000 for the same period in 2008, a 64%
increase. New operational procedures for posting transactions and
assessing overdraft charges that began in the fourth quarter of 2008 caused this
increase. Management expects that overdraft income for 2009 will show
a significant increase over 2008.
Other
fees increased for the first three months of 2009 by $25,000, or 20.2%, compared
to the same period in 2008. This is primarily due to loan related
fees, which represent $21,000, or 84% of the total increase in this
category. When customers choose to amend the original terms of their
mortgage agreement, to change the length of the term, or to change the rate,
they are assessed fees based on the remaining loan balance. These
amendments allow customers to obtain favorable terms without completely
rewriting the loan. These loan amendments do not involve delinquent
loans, or loans with collateral quality deterioration, which are restructured
loans. Mortgage amendment activity was popular throughout the first
three months of 2009 due to lower rates.
The
largest component of commission income is from debit MasterCard
commissions. The amount of customer usage of the card at point of
sale transactions determines the level of commission income
received. The debit card income of $266,000 for the first quarter of
2009 is an increase of $11,000, or 4.3%, over the same period in
2008. 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 commissions, which provided income
of $38,000 for the first three months of 2009, an increase of $3,000, or 8.9%,
over the same period in 2008. 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.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, $68,000 of gains on the sale of securities
were recorded, compared to $26,000 of gains for the same period in
2008. Gains or losses on sale of securities fluctuate based on
opportunities to reposition the securities portfolio to improve long-term
earnings, or as part of management’s asset liability goals to improve liquidity
or reduce interest rate or fair value risk. The gains or losses on
this type of activity fluctuate based on current market prices and the volume of
security sales.
Gains on
the sale of mortgages are higher through the first quarter of 2009 than in 2008
primarily because of an increase in mortgage activity. In the first
quarter of 2009, there were 34 mortgages sold compared to 20 in the
first
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
quarter
of 2008. Secondary mortgage financing activity drives the gains on
the sale of mortgages, which showed an increase of $29,000, or 76.3%, for the
first three months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Given
the current housing market conditions, management anticipates that gain or loss
on sale of mortgages may decline.
The
earnings on BOLI increased $10,000, or 6.8%, for the first quarter of 2009
compared to the same period in 2008. 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 as
miscellaneous income.
The
miscellaneous income category decreased $17,000, or 12.7%, for the first three
months of 2009 over the same period in 2008. This category had a
number of offsetting increases and decreases. The primary reason for
the decrease is an $11,000 decline in sales tax refunds received.

Salaries
and employee benefits are the largest category of operating
expenses. In general, they comprise more than 50% of the
Corporation’s total operating expense. For the first quarter 2009,
salaries and benefits increased $226,000, or 8.6%, over the first quarter of
2008. Salaries alone increased $110,000 through March 2009, compared
to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to
additional staff, including the staff for a new branch and typical merit
increases. Increased salaries impacts associated expenses such as
payroll taxes, pension expense, as well as higher medical and benefit
insurance. Medical insurance costs for the first three months of 2009
increased $76,000, or 25.7%, over the same period in 2008. The cause
of the increase in medical insurance costs was twofold: higher premiums and
additional employees electing coverage under the Corporation’s
plan.

Occupancy
expenses have increased by $48,000, or 15.9%, for the first three months of 2009
compared to the same period in 2008. The increases were spread across
all occupancy categories. Depreciation increased $12,000, or 9.8%,
mostly due to the addition of a new branch. Snow removal,
landscaping, and other occupancy expenses increased $15,000 over the same period
last year. Utility expenses were higher by $20,000, or 20.0%, due to
higher energy costs affecting electric and oil prices. This includes
electricity, which is $11,000 higher in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
the same period in 2008. Electricity through the Corporation’s main
provider increased rates by
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP

Discussion and Analysis
approximately
40% in 2009. Building repair and maintenance costs continue to rise
in tandem with more facilities, higher cost related to materials and supplies,
along with the aging of facilities.
Equipment
expenses decreased $25,000, or 10.8% for the first three months of 2009,
compared to the same period in 2008. This is primarily because
equipment service contracts decreased $15,000, or 23.4% for the first quarter of
2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Some of the Corporation’s
larger investment technology contracts have decreased as a result of purchases
of new equipment with lower levels of maintenance
contracts. Additionally, depreciation on furniture and equipment
decreased $8,000, or 5.9%. Equipment assets have short lives,
generally five to seven years. The Corporation placed a significant
amount of furniture and equipment assets into service between five and ten years
ago that are now fully depreciated. Specifically, all the furniture
and equipment placed into service at the Lititz Branch Office became fully
depreciated in January of 2009.
Advertising
and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, were $22,000
or 27.2% higher than the same period in 2008. The expenses of this
category support the overall business strategies of the Corporation; therefore,
the timing of these expenses is dependent upon those strategies. The
Corporation had a new advertising campaign, including radio and television,
produced in 2009 to highlight the strength of our community focus.
The
computer software and data processing expenses are comprised of STAR network
processing fees, software amortization, software purchases, and software
maintenance agreements. This expense category decreased $18,000, or
4.6%. The STAR network fees are the fees paid to process all ATM and
debit card transactions. The total STAR network service fees were
down $8,000, or 3.9%. In 2009, the Corporation began passing through
to customers the fees associated with international
transactions. Previously those charges were expensed through this
category. This operational change is responsible for the
decrease. Software related expenses decreased $10,000, or 5.5%, for
the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The
majority of this decrease is due to lower software maintenance agreement costs
for the first three months of 2009. Management expects software
expenses to rise in 2009 due to several software-based initiatives.
Bank
shares tax expense rose $42,000, or 30.2%, for the first three months of 2009
over the same period in 2008. In the first quarter of 2008, the
Corporation began to increase the bank shares tax expense due to a State of
Pennsylvania policy change that no longer exempted shares of common stock held
in charitable trusts as part of the bank shares tax
calculation. Because of the policy change, all of the Corporation’s
common shares stock are subject to the tax. Management does not
anticipate a substantial increase in this expense through 2009 compared to
2008.
Professional
services expense increased $237,000, or 93.3%, for the first quarter of 2009
compared to the same period in 2008. Outside services include
accounting and auditing fees, legal fees, loan review fees and other third-party
services. In 2008, management engaged the consulting unit 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 expense with an additional
$275,000 due in 2009. The first three months of 2009 reflect $206,000
of these anticipated costs for 2009. Legal costs decreased $15,000
for the first three months of 2009 compared to the same period in
2008. Legal fees in 2008 were higher due to the legal work related to
the formation of a bank holding company. Student loan servicing
expense increased $28,000. Previously, servicing costs on student
loans were offset by a credit from the Department of Education. Those
credits are no longer available and therefore the expenses are higher than in
the past. Management expects this expense to continue to be
substantially higher than in prior years. The trust department
processing fees increased $8,000, or 74.8%, due to upgrades and an agreement for
a higher level of service. The remainder of the increase in outside
services occurred among a variety of different service providers.

insurance
fund, which included a 140% rate increase that became effective in the fourth
quarter of 2008, and expenses for a projected one-time assessment of 10 basis
points, which is due as of June 30, 2009.
The
one-time time assessment, which was initially proposed at 20 basis points, is
expected to be finalized at 10 basis points, based on proposed legislation that
had gained much support prior to the filing of this report. The
initial 20 basis point one-time assessment, on top of a 140% rate increase
created such a large negative response by the banking community, economists, and
legislators. This response resulted in new proposals to allow the
FDIC fund to be replenished over a longer period of time, so as to not cause
undue harm on financial institutions in the midst of the current credit
crisis. The new proposals were heavily reliance on providing the FDIC
with additional borrowing capacity at the U.S. Treasury. Based on the
likelihood of the revised legislation being adopted, the consensus of the
banking community was to accrue for a one-time assessment of 10 basis
points. A 10 basis point one-time assessment still represents about
$550,000 of additional FDIC insurance expense for the Corporation, which is
expensed during 2009.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2009, but prior to the submission of this filing, the Senate voted
in favor the Deposit Insurance Bill S. 896 which extends the FDIC’s borrowing
authority with the U.S. Treasury from $30 billion to $100 billion, with
emergency funding up to $500 billion. The expanded borrowing
authority was needed to cut the planned 20 basis point assessment to 10 basis
points. The legislation also extends the temporary deposit insurance
coverage increase to $250,000 through the end of 2013. The bill must
now be reconciled with H.R. 1106, which was passed by the House in March
2009.
Deposit
accounts charge off-fee personal increased $24,000 and fraud & related
charge off and recoveries increased $25,000 due largely to the current weaker
economic environment. Miscellaneous expense increased $34,000,
primarily due to a planned early termination fee of $29,000 with a service
provider.
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, the Corporation has no taxable
corporate net income activities. 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.
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.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2009, the Corporation recorded a tax expense of
$38,000, compared to $191,000 for the same period in 2008. The
benefit of a high level of tax-free assets, combined with lower pre-tax income
was responsible for the reduction of the tax expense. The effective
tax rate for the Corporation was 3.4% for the first quarter of 2009 compared to
12.0% for the same quarter of 2008.
Due to
lower earnings and a large percentage of tax-free income compared to total
income, the Corporation became subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) in
2006. The Corporation has remained in an AMT position
since. 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, management allowed tax-free securities to decline and is
taking additional action to reduce the percentage of tax-free income compared to
taxable income. These practices 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 as a percentage of the Corporation’s total assets, management
anticipates that the Corporation’s provision for Federal income tax will
increase as a percentage of pretax income in 2009.

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 March 31, 2009, the
Corporation had $230.7 million of securities available for sale, which accounted
for 32.9% of assets, compared to 31.1% as of December 31, 2008, and 32.0% as of
March 31, 2008. This indicates that the securities portfolio grew at
a faster pace than total assets. Based on ending balances, the
securities portfolio increased 9.2% from March 31, 2008 to March 31,
2009.
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 the management of both liquidity risk and interest rate
risk. 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 of all
the Corporation’s securities on a monthly basis to fair market value as
determined in accordance with FAS 115 Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt & Equity Securities. Management has the ability
and intent to hold all debt securities until maturity; and therefore, generally
does not record impairment on the bonds that are currently valued below
par. Equity securities generally pose a greater risk to loss of
principal, as management no longer has the ability to hold these securities to a
maturity date to receive all principal. All securities are evaluated
for impairment on a quarterly basis. Should any impairment occur,
management would write down the security to a fair market value in accordance
with both FAS 115 and FAS 157, with the amount recorded as a loss on
securities.
Each
quarter management sets portfolio allocation guidelines and adjusts security
portfolio strategy generally based upon the following factors:
|
·

|
·

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. The majority of
growth occurred in governmental agencies and collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMOs). Governmental agencies, mortgage backed instruments, and CMOs
all have the backing of the U.S. Government. All of these types of
instruments provide solid credit risk protection, with all rated
AAA. Depending on the structure of instrument purchased, all three of
these security types provide steady cash flow streams to assist with liquidity
management.
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
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 Corporation’s 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 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 26.6% on March 31, 2008, to 23.3% as
of March 31, 2009. When the Corporation is no longer subject to AMT, management
will resume investing in municipal bonds to take full advantage of the higher
tax-equivalent yields.
During
the fourth quarter of 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009, 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 backed
by the U.S. Government, specifically, Private Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations (PCMOs), corporate bonds and municipal bonds. Management
has decided to indefinitely hold the PCMOs and corporate bonds that have been
downgraded and fall below initial investment grade set by internal policy.
Currently, there are no indications that any of these bonds would discontinue
contractual payments. Additionally, the municipal bond ratings have
been affected primarily by concern over the insurance companies 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 views the Corporation’s CRA fund investment differently
because it has no maturity date. Bond investments could have larger
unrealized losses but significantly less probability of impairment due to having
a fixed maturity date. As of March 31, 2009, the CRA fund was showing
unrealized losses of $191,000 or a 6% price decline. The prices on this fund
tend to lag behind decreases in U.S. Treasury rates. Management
believes that the price declines are primarily rate driven, and temporary as
apposed to permanent. Corporate bonds and private mortgage backed
securities have the most potential credit risk out of the Corporation’s debt
instruments. Due to the rapidly changing credit environment and weak
economic conditions, management is closely monitoring all corporate bonds and
all private label securities. As of March 31, 2009, none of the
Corporation’s unrealized security losses were considered other than
temporary.

Residential
real estate loans do not include mortgage loans sold to and serviced for
Fannie Mae. These loans totaled $11,304,000 as March 31,
2009, $11,058,000 as of December 31, 2008, and $10,257,000 as of
March 31, 2008.
|
The
composition of the loan portfolio has had minor changes in recent
years. The total of all categories of real estate loans comprises
more than 75% of total loans. Residential real estate is the
largest category of the loan portfolio, consisting of approximately 39% of total
loans. This category includes first mortgages, second mortgages, and
home equity loans. The residential real estate loans continue to grow
throughout 2008; however, in the first quarter of 2009 the category showed
declines as principal payments exceeded new loan growth. Current
economic and market conditions have reduced the demand for residential real
estate loans. Most loan requests are for 30 year mortgages, which are
all sold to the secondary market. Additionally, requests for fixed
rate home equity loans have slowed, while home equity lines of credit, which
float on the Prime rate, have increased. This trend is occurring because
consumers are seeking the lowest interest rate to borrow money against their
home value. It is likely to reverse once the Prime rate is increased
and floating rate loans become less attractive to
borrowers. Management anticipates slow growth in the residential real
estate through the remainder of 2009.
Commercial
real estate loans have also grown since March 2008, but demand has dropped off
significantly in first quarter of 2009. Commercial real estate
includes both owner and non-owner occupied properties. The majority
of growth has occurred in owner occupied, which does not rely substantially on
lease agreements. However, even the demand for owner occupied loans
has slowed since most businesses are not expanding during uncertain economic
conditions. It is anticipated that growth in commercial real estate
will lag a recovery by the economy.
Commercial
loans not secured by real estate are approximately half as large as the
Corporations real estate secured commercial loans. Unlike real estate
secured commercial loans the non-real estate secured commercial loans declined
by $4.6 million or 6.0% from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008, and then began
to grow again in the first quarter of 2009. Several large lines of
credit were added to the portfolio which primarily contributed to the $2.9
million or 4.0% increase from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. In
the current interest rate environment, with fixed commercial loan rates
significantly higher than Prime based variable rate lines of credit, the
Corporation is experiencing a shift in less fixed rate commercial loans and more
prime based variable rate loans. The majority of commercial customers
believe the Prime rate will remain low for a period of time and therefore desire
to lower their borrowing costs and are drawing on their lines of credit to pay
down their fixed rate loans. In other cases where the borrower is in
search of new financing they are currently looking at variable rate as opposed
to fixed rate financing, whether it is real estate secured or not.
The
construction loans secured by real estate grew in the first quarter of 2009 by
$6 million or 44.8%, on a relatively small component of the Corporation’s loan
portfolio. After slowing throughout most of 2008, several of the
Bank’s commercial customers went ahead with construction projects in the last
quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009. Some projects were started
in the fourth quarter of 2008, but significant draws on their lines of credit
only began in the first quarter of 2009. These projects were not
necessarily residential real estate construction, but construction undertaken by
commercial customers to update or expand facilities.
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
The
consumer loan portfolio remains stable but has decreased as a percentage of the
Corporation’s loan portfolio. In recent years as home owners
have turned to equity in their homes to finance cars and education, rather than
traditional consumer loans for those expenditures. Additionally,
specialized lenders have emerged for consumer needs. 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 national finance companies and back to their bank of
choice. Management has seen the need for additional unsecured credit
increase; however this increased need for credit has not resulted in higher
levels of consumer loans for the Corporation. The Corporation’s
consumer loan portfolio grew slightly from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008
but then declined by March 31, 2009 to nearly the same level as twelve months
previously. The average length of the consumer loan portfolio is relatively
short and presently any growth in new loans is being offset by principal
payments on existing loans. In the present weak economy, customers
will delay purchases of new and used cars which has the impact of reducing the
consumer loan portfolio, as lower amounts of new loans are going on the
books. Management anticipates that the need for unsecured credit may
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.

Non-performing
assets increased $1.9 million from March 31, 2008 to March 31,
2009. This increase primarily resulted from the addition of two loans
totaling $1,595,000 to a single borrower, shown as troubled debt restructurings
above. In addition, an $869,000 line of credit to a related interest
was placed on non-accrued status in the fourth quarter of 2008. 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 $538,000 from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009,
primarily due to the addition of the $869,000 line of credit mentioned
above. Offsetting the increases were decreases due to loans that paid
off, became current, or were charged-off, thereby removing them from non-accrual
status. Meanwhile, loans past 90 days or more and still accruing
decreased slightly; however some of those loans migrated to non-accrual or were
charged off. The Corporation has seen a moderate increase in 30 to 89
day delinquencies during the first quarter of 2009; however they have not
migrated into longer delinquencies. This means that a majority of
these delinquent customers are making

payments,
but on a late basis. Management is monitoring delinquency trends
closely in light of the current weak economic conditions. At this
time, management believes that the potential for significant losses related to
non-performing loans is minimal but increasing.
As of
March 31, 2009, 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. 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 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 the first quarter of the
past two 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009, were $106,000 compared to $28,000 for the
same period in 2008. Management typically charges off unsecured debt
over 90 days delinquent with little likelihood of recovery. The
consumer charge-offs were higher in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2008
due to a single home equity loan that was charged off for
$57,000. Aside from the home equity charge-off, consumer loan
charge-offs remained relatively stable.
The
allowance as a percentage of total loans represents the portion of the total
loan portfolio for which an allowance has been provided. The
composition of the Corporation’s loan portfolio has not changed materially from
March 31, 2008, however management regularly reviews the overall risk profile
and current economic trends. Continued downgrades in the business
loan and business mortgage portfolios have resulted in 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, after reducing charge-offs by recoveries. The
Corporation has historically experienced very low net charge-off percentages due
to management’s strong credit practices. The 0.02% shown for the
first quarter of 2009 is similar to charge off rates experienced in 2004 and
2005. The -0.01% for the first quarter of 2008 indicates that
recoveries for that period exceeded charge-offs, resulting from a one-time large
recovery. Management is monitoring charge off activity closely and is
anticipating that there may be some increases throughout 2009; however prudent
lending management practices are in place to reduce the number and severity of
losses.

2008. During 2008, a new branch facility located in Penn Township was
constructed with building, equipment, and furnishings totaling $2.8
million. The new branch, plus $94,000 of additional furniture and
equipment added during the first quarter of 2009, less normal depreciation, is
responsible for the increase.

Deposits

Corporation’s total ending deposits increased $40.9 million, or 8.3%, and $23.9
million, or 4.7% from March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008

of funding for loans and investments. During 2008 and continuing into
the first quarter of 2009, 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

The
Corporation has been a stable presence in the local area and offers convenient
locations, low service fees and competitive interest rates because of a strong
commitment to the customers and the communities that it
serves. Management has always priced products and services in a
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, as financial institutions have come under
increased scrutiny from both regulators and customers, the Bank has maintained
an outstanding reputation. The Corporation’s deposit base increased
as a result of customers seeking a longstanding reliable institution as a
partner to meet their financial needs. Additionally, a new branch
location opened in September 2008 assisted in deposit growth.
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. As of March 31, 2009, time deposit balances, excluding brokered
deposits, had increased $17.9 million or 8.0%, and $35.0 million or 17.2%
respectively from December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008. Due to an
asset liability strategy of lengthening liabilities while interest rates are at
historically low interest rates, the Corporation’s recent time deposit strategy
has been to offer long-term time deposit rates that exceed the average rates
offered by the local competing banks. This strategy was successful in
both increasing and lengthening the Corporation’s liabilities. The
Corporation’s time deposits also increased due to consumers who were concerned
with a declining stock market and declining financial conditions of local,
regional, and national banks that compete with the
Corporation. Customers have been seeking a safe consistent investment
to an even greater extent than during previous declines in the equity
markets. 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 up to certain levels. Up until
October 3, 2008, FDIC coverage was $100,000 on 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. As the equity market continued to decline in 2008 and 2009,
customers placing more and more time deposits in financial institutions,
however, they did not want to exceed the FDIC insurance limits. The
increase in FDIC coverage enabled time deposit customers to increase their
deposit balances held with the Corporation. Management anticipates
that the growth of time deposits will slow as the stock market and other
financial institutions begin to strengthen.
Borrowings
Total
borrowings were $93.0 million, $103.8 million and $92.0 million as of March 31,
2009, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2008, respectively. The
Corporation was purchasing short-term funds of $965,000 as of March 31, 2009,
compared to $11.8 million at the end of 2008, with no short-term funds purchased
as of March 31, 2008. 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. The short-term
funds are purchased through correspondent and member bank relationships as
overnight borrowings.
The total
amount of long-term borrowings remained the same from December 31, 2008 and
March 31, 2008 compared to March 31, 2009. The Corporation uses two
main sources for long-term borrowings: Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and
repurchase agreements obtained through brokers. Both of these types
of borrowings are used as a secondary source of funding and to mitigate interest
rate risk. These long-term funding instruments are typically a more
manageable funding source in regard to amount, timing, and rate, for interest
rate risk and liquidity purposes compared to deposits. Over the
course of the past year, the Corporation has minimally changed the FHLB and
brokered repurchase borrowing agreements. Management will continue to
analyze and compare the costs and benefits of borrowing versus obtaining funding
from deposits.
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 March 31, 2009,
the Corporation was within this policy guideline at 8.9% of asset size with
$62.0 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 March 31, 2009, the Corporation was
within this policy guideline at 139.6% of capital with $93.0 million total
borrowings from all sources. The Corporation has maintained FHLB
borrowings and total borrowings within these policy guidelines throughout the
first quarter of 2009.
The
Corporation continues to be well under the FHLB maximum borrowing capacity
(MBC), which is currently $320.8 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 repurchase 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 Corporation’s 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
Average Assets does not include an add back to capital for the amount of the
Allowance for Loan Losses, thereby making this ratio lower than the Total
Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets ratio.
The
following table reflects the capital ratios for the Corporation and Bank
compared to the regulatory capital requirements.

The
dividends per share for the first quarter of 2009 were the same as the first
quarter of 2008 at $0.31 per share. Dividends are paid from current
earnings and available retained earnings. Management’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. Since the dividends paid and the payout ratio is heavily
dependent on the income earned, management is closely monitoring the ability to
maintain current dividend levels, compared to the anticipated earnings for the
year 2009.
The
amount of unrealized gain or loss on the 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 balance
sheet. An unrealized gain increases capital, while an unrealized loss
reduces capital. This requirement takes the position that if the
Corporation liquidated the securities portfolio 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 March 31, 2009, the
Corporation showed unrealized losses, net of tax, of $2,268,000, compared to
unrealized losses of $963,000 as of December 31, 2008, and unrealized gains of
$285,000 on March 31, 2008. 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.
On 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, 45,400 shares of treasury stock have been
repurchased and 10,883 reissued with 34,517 treasury shares existing on March
31, 2009, with a cost basis of $886,000.
Contractual
Cash Obligations
The
Corporation has a number of contractual obligations that arise from the normal
course of business. A construction contract was signed subsequent to
the reporting date but prior to the filing of this quarterly report for $1.5
million to renovate the Denver branch in 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 fourth 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
ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
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.
Work
force realignment was a significant component of the Corporation’s BPI
engagement. In conjunction with the workforce realignment, a
voluntary separation package was offered in September 2008 to all employees with
twenty or more years of service. On October 31, 2008, management
established a $1,222,000 liability in connection with the voluntary separation
package. The liability covered all future separation obligations that
were scheduled to be paid over 2009 and 2010 to 35 employees who accepted the
package. As of March 31, 2009, $845,000 remained to be paid of the
initial $1,222,000 liability established.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the
normal course of business, the Corporation typically has off balance sheet
arrangements related to loan funding commitments. These arrangements
may impact the Corporation’s financial condition and liquidity if they were to
be exercised within a short period of time. As discussed in the
following liquidity section, the Corporation has in place sufficient liquidity
alternatives to meet these obligations. The following table presents information
on the commitments by the Corporation as of March 31, 2009.

3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
As a
financial institution, the Corporation is subject to three primary
risks:
|
·
|
Credit
risk
|
|
·
|
Liquidity
risk
|
|
·
|
Interest
rate risk
|
The Board
of Directors has established an Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) to
measure, monitor, and manage these 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.
Credit
Risk
For
discussion on credit risk refer to the sections in Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis, on securities, non-performing assets and allowance for
loan losses.
Liquidity
Risk
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
|

|
As noted
in the discussion on deposits, customers have historically provided a reliable
and steadily increasing source of funds liquidity. The Corporation
also has in place relationships with other banking institutions for the purpose
of buying and selling Federal funds. The lines of credit with these
institutions provide immediate sources of additional liquidity. The
Corporation currently has unsecured lines of credit totaling $23
million. An additional $2.0 million would be available upon pledging
of sufficient collateral. This does not include amounts available
from member banks such as the Federal Reserve Discount Window and the FHLB and
Atlantic Central Bankers Bank.
The table
below shows the six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps
as of March 31, 2009, along with the cumulative maturity gap guidelines
monitored by management. The Corporation uses cumulative maturity gap
analysis to measure the amount of assets maturing within various periods versus
liabilities maturing in those same periods. The Corporation monitors
six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps as a portion of
liquidity risk assessment. 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
March 31, 2009, all the Corporation’s cumulative gap ratios were within
Corporate Policy guidelines. As of December 31, 2008, the six-month
to one-year cumulative gap ratio was slightly under guidelines at 57.4% compared
to the 60% to 140% guideline. During the first quarter of 2009, three
main factors allowed management to improve the six-month to one-year gap ratio
materially so it was back within guidelines by March 31, 2009. First,
the prepayment speeds on both loans and securities increased as consumers
reacted to historically low interest rates by either paying back additional
principal on loans carrying higher interest rates, or refinancing these
loans. This impacted both the Corporation’s loans and securities by
reducing the average lives. Secondly, management reduced the
borrowings maturing by paying off $10 million of short-term borrowings, as well
as refinancing $7.5 million of FHLB advances that were maturing in the first
quarter of 2009 into new four year advances to lengthen the Corporation’s
borrowings. Lastly, during the first quarter of 2009, management had
in place more attractive interest rates on longer-term time deposits to
encourage customers with shorter time deposits to direct these funds into longer
maturities.
Management
believes the current historically low rate environment is the time to lengthen
the Bank’s liabilities to build in additional rates up interest rate risk
protection. Management was successful in growing longer-term time
deposits due to an IRA time deposit special on terms 18 months and longer that
ran from February 15, 2009 through April 15, 2009. The Corporation’s
time deposits with terms of 18 months and longer grew by over $21 million
dollars from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Management expects all GAP
ratios to remain within policy limits for the remainder of the
year.
Interest
Rate Risk
Interest
rate risk is measured using two analytical tools:
|
·
|
Changes

|
|
·
|
Changes

|
Financial
modeling is used to forecast earnings and fair value under different interest
rate projections. The results obtained through the use of forecasting
models are based on a variety of factors. Both the income and fair
value forecasts make use of the maturity and repricing schedules to determine
the changes to the balance sheet over the course of
time. Additionally, there are many assumptions that factor into the
results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the
following:

ENB
FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis
Each
month, new financial information is supplied to the model and new forecasts are
generated. The model has the ability to automatically revise growth
rates for assets and liabilities, and reinvestment rates for interest earning
and bearing funds based on a databank of historical financial information and
key interest rates that the model retains. Personnel perform an in
depth annual validation and quarterly review of the settings and assumptions
used in the model to ensure reliability of the forecast results. Back
testing of the model to actual results is performed to ensure the validity of
the assumptions in the model. Both the validation and back testing
indicate that the model assumptions are reliable.
Changes
in Net Interest Income
The
change in net interest income measures the amount of net interest income
fluctuation that would be experienced over one year, assuming interest rates
change immediately and remain the same for one year. This is considered to be a
short-term view of interest rate risk. The Corporation has
historically been liability sensitive; meaning that as interest rates go up, the
Corporation would likely achieve lower levels of net interest income due to
sharper increases in the cost of funds than increases in asset
yield. Likewise, if rates go down, there would be sharper reductions
in the cost of funds than decreases to asset yield, causing an increase to net
interest income.
The
analysis projects the net interest income expected in seven different rate
scenarios on a one-year time horizon. The scenarios consist of a
projection of net interest income if rates remain flat, increase 100, 200, or
300 basis points, or decrease 100, 200, or 300 basis points. As of
March 31, 2009, the Corporation was within guidelines for the maximum amount of
net interest income declines given all seven rate scenarios. The
Corporation’s projected net interest income fluctuations given the seven
different rate scenarios did not change materially from December 31,
2008.
As of
March 31, 2009, the Federal funds target rate was between 0.0% and 0.25%, so it
is likely the Federal Reserve will not lower rates any further. This
means the exposure in this current rate environment is to the rates up
scenarios; therefore, they are reviewed with more scrutiny. For the
rates up scenarios of 100, 200 and 300 basis points, the net interest income
decreases slightly compared to the rates unchanged scenario. Unlike
the rates down scenarios, the amount of negative impact of rising rates is very
minimal and the larger rate movements do not get progressively
worse. The rates up 200 and 300 show slight improvements over the
rates up 100 basis points. The limited negative impact of higher
rates is because the impact of assets repricing to higher rates nearly offsets
the normal liability sensitivity of the Corporation, where a larger amount of
liabilities reprice than assets. In the rates up scenarios, most of
the variable rate loans reprice higher by the full amount of the Federal
Reserve’s action; whereby, management is generally able to limit the amount of
liability repricing to a fraction of the rate increase. Management
does not expect the exposure to interest rate changes to increase or change
significantly over the next twelve months.
Changes
in Net Portfolio Value
The
change in net portfolio value is considered a tool to measure long-term interest
rate risk. The analysis measures the exposure of the balance sheet to
valuation changes due to changes in interest rates. The calculation
of net portfolio value discounts future cash flows to the present value based on
current market rates. The changes in net portfolio value estimates
the gain or loss that would occur on market sensitive instruments given a
sustained interest rate increase or decrease in the same seven scenarios
mentioned under interest rate sensitivity. As of March 31, 2009, the
Corporation was within guidelines for all scenarios. The
Corporation’s projected changes in net portfolio value given the seven different
rate scenarios did not change materially from December 31, 2008.
The
weakness with the net portfolio analysis is that it assumes liquidation of the
Corporation rather than as a going concern. For that reason, it is
considered a secondary measurement of interest rate risk to interest rate
sensitivity discussed above.

Item 4. 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 March 31, 2009, 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 March 31, 2009, 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.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Management
is not aware of any litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the
financial position of the Corporation. There are no proceedings
pending other than ordinary routine litigation incident to the business of the
Corporation. In addition, no material proceedings are pending, are
known to be threatened, or contemplated against the Corporation by governmental
authorities.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The
Corporation continually monitors the risks related to the Corporation’s
business, other events, the Corporation’s Common Stock and the Corporation’s
industry. There have not been any material changes in the primary
risks since the December 31, 2008, Form 10-K. However, one new risk
has been identified as is discussed below.
We review
our investment securities portfolio at each quarter-end reporting period to
determine whether the fair value is below the current carrying
value. When the fair value of any of our investment securities has
declined below its carrying value, we are required to assess whether the decline
is other than temporary. If we conclude that the decline is other
than temporary, we are required to write down the value of that security through
a charge to earnings. As of March 31, 2009, our investment portfolio
included private label mortgage backed securities with a book value of $19.7
million and an estimated fair value of $14.8 million. Changes in the
expected cash flows of these securities and/or prolonged price declines may
result in our concluding in future periods that the impairment of these
securities is other than temporary, which would require a charge to earnings to
write down these securities to their fair value.
