FORM 10Q JUNE 30, 2001
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fidelity D&D Bancorp, Inc., and subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank, (Bank), (collectively the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10Q and Article 1001 of Regulation SX. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods have been included. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. Prior period amounts are reclassified when necessary to conform with the current year’s presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For additional information and disclosures required under GAAP, please refer to the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
The Bank is a commercial bank chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Having commenced operations in 1903, the Bank provides a full range of traditional banking services and alternative financial products from its main office located in Dunmore and other branches throughout Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.
Management is responsible for the fairness, integrity and objectivity of the unaudited financial statements included in this report. Management prepared the unaudited financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In meeting its responsibility for the financial statements, management depends on the Company’s accounting systems and related internal controls. These systems and controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial records accurately reflect the transactions of the Company, that Company assets are safeguarded and that financial statements present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of those dates and the related statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 present fairly the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended. All material adjustments required for fair presentation have been made. These adjustments are of a normal reoccurring nature. There have been no material changes in accounting principles, practices or in the method of application and there have been no retroactive adjustments during this period.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the notes included therein, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect many of the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and reasonable. The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is described in a separate section later in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Given the very subjective nature of identifying and valuing loan losses, it is likely that wellinformed individuals could make materially different assumptions, and could, therefore calculate a materially different allowance value. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revisions in future years. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. Further, a task force of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants is working on detailed implementation guidance for calculating the allowance for loan losses. Implementation of that detailed implementation guidance, which may be issued in 2002, could result in an adjustment to the allowance.
Another material estimate is the calculation of fair values of the Company’s investment securities. The Company receives estimated fair values of investment securities from an independent valuation service through a broker. In developing these fair values, the valuation service uses estimates of cash flows based on historical performance of similar instruments in similar interest rate environments. Based on experience, management is aware that estimated fair values of investment securities tend to vary among valuation services. Accordingly, when selling investment securities, management typically obtains price quotes from more than one source.
The majority of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, excluded from earnings and reported separately through accumulated other comprehensive income (included in shareholders’ equity).
The fair value of residential mortgage loans classified as available-for-sale is obtained from the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). The fair value of SBA loans classified as available-for-sale is obtained from an outside pricing source. The market to which the Bank sells mortgage and other loans is restricted and price quotes from other sources are not typically obtained.

As indicated in the table above, deposit growth was modest in the first six months of 2002.
Public fund deposits accounted for 92.81% of the total growth in deposits. The Bank was able to attract public funds due to long established relationships and competitive product pricing. However, it is recognized that public fund deposits are sensitive to the operating demands of the various public entities and the Bank could experience material shifts in these outstanding balances throughout the year.
Bank checks are used to pay operating expenses of the Bank, deposit paydowns and loan disbursements. While Bank checks are included in deposits, they are not deposits from customers. Bank checks accounted to 8.96% of the overall growth in total deposits.
Short-term borrowings, which are comprised of repurchase agreements (Repos), treasury tax and loan retained funds and federal funds purchased, decreased $11,527,000 or 21.16%. Some Repo customers transferred their funds into insured deposit products to lock in fixed rates and terms. Other non-personal and public fund customers reduced their balances to meet operating requirements or to reinvest outside of the Bank. Two taxing authorities increased their balances in excess of $1,200,000. At June 30, 2002 there were 179 Repos, approximating the number at December 31, 2001.
During the second quarter of 2002, 12,960 shares of common stock became available on the open market. The Bank purchased the stock for $479,640 with the intention to reissue the stock under the dividend reinvestment plan.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased due to Repo runoff, net loan disbursements, fixed asset acquisitions and the purchase of treasury stock. In addition the Bank sold Fed Funds at June 30, 2002. There were no sales of Fed Funds at December 31, 2001. The decrease was partially offset by a net decrease in the investment portfolio and an increase in deposits.
During 2002, net loans, including available-for-sale loans, grew $8,609,000 or 2.33%. Commercial loans increased $17,552,000 or 9.80%. Consumer loans and direct financing leases decreased due to reduced demand. The demand was affected by current economic conditions and Bank policies designed to improve the overall quality of the portfolio. Residential mortgages and student loans totaling $18,617,000 were sold during 2002 to provide liquidity and improve yield. The Company has classified certain residential mortgages, student loans and SBA guaranteed loans of $15,710,000 as available-for-sale (AFS) at June 30, 2002. The fair value of AFS loans at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was $15,921,00 and $16,418,000, respectively.

Paydowns and early calls of US agency and municipal bonds totaled $23,017,000. Available-for-sale US Government Agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities of $29,214,000 were sold to provide liquidity and to improve the yield on earning assets. Investments primarily in US Government Agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities of $47,888,000 were purchased during 2002. In light of fluctuations in the bond market, the investment strategy used during 2002 was able to produce a 5.80% tax equivalent yield on the entire portfolio at June 30, 2002. That yield is comparable to the 5.84% tax equivalent yield at December 31, 2001. The yield comparisons are as of the period ending dates and do not reflect the year-to-date yields. As would be expected, the decline in market rates caused a decrease in the year-to-date yield for 2002.
However, the decline in market rates also meant that bonds, which were not called, were worth more at June 30, 2002, than they were at December 31, 2001. Consequently the market value of the available-for-sale securities improved $2,080,000 and the total portfolio improved $2,438,000 during 2002.
Fluctuations in capital markets cause frequent changes in the market value of investments. Market conditions are monitored daily and the Company is prepared to take remedial actions if deemed appropriate.

At June 30, 2002 capital expenditures for the new core processing system, scheduled for operations during the fourth quarter of 2002, were $1,038,000. Capital expenditures for a new loan processing system were $54,000.
Unforeseen environmental issues increased the estimated costs of the new Eynon branch. At June 30, 2002 the Bank had capitalized expenditures of $764,000. The branch is scheduled to open during July 2002.
2. Changes in Results of Operations:
Net Income for the six months ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $2,186,882 and $2,223,451, respectively. The significant differences are as follows:

The year-to-date tax equivalent (“TE”) yield on Average Earning Assets decreased 125 basis points (bp) from 7.79% at June 30, 2001, to 6.54% at June 30, 2002. This reduction reflects the five reductions in the discount rate since June 30, 2001. The reductions totaled 200 bp.
It should be noted that discount rate was 9.50% at January 1, 2001 and only 4.75% at January 1, 2002, a difference of 475bp. In effect, that means that the yields on earnings assets were significantly higher in the beginning of 2001, than they were at the beginning of 2002.
The discount rate is the rate at which the Federal Reserve Bank lends overnight funds to banks. Changes in the discount rate have a direct effect on loans and investments subject to immediate repricing and call features.
The decline in market rates allowed the Bank to reduce rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of funds decreased 118 bp from 5.07% at June 30, 2001, to 3.89% at June 30, 2002.
The improvement in net interest income results from a volume increase in earning assets and a decrease in interest expense.
The increase in the provision for loan losses is a result of loan growth and Management’s analysis of potential loss within the portfolio.
Increases in trust income and annuity sales produced the increase in deposit service charges and other income.
Staff increases, merit pay increases and higher benefit costs increased personnel expense $223,000. The year to date average number of full time equivalent employees increased from 163 at June 30, 2001, to 171 at June 30, 2002.
The effective federal income tax rate was 26.33% and 23.11% for the six months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Income before provision for income taxes in 2002 increased $102,000 over 2001. Non-taxable income as a percentage of net income before taxes declined from 27.12% in 2001, to 17.91% in 2002.
Net Income for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $1,108,753 and $1,140,010, respectively. The significant differences are as follows
2002 2001 Difference

The tax equivalent yield on earning assets was 6.47% and 7.63% for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Cost of funds was 3.82% and 4.82% for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The improvement in net interest income results from a volume increase in earning assets and a decrease in interest expense.
The increase in the provision for loan losses is a result of loan growth and Management’s analysis of potential loss within the portfolio.
The average number of full time equivalent employees for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was 174 and 165, respectively.
The effective federal income tax rate was 26.97% and 23.46% for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively. Income before provision for income taxes in 2002, increased $29,000 over 2001. Non-taxable income as a percentage of net income before taxes declined from 25.86% in 2001, to 16.68% in 2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision is an expense charged against earnings for actual or potential losses from uncollectible loans and leases. Through the provision, the allowance for loan loss is increased. Loans determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance.
The Bank has established an Asset Quality Committee which meets monthly to review known and potential problem loans and leases. The committee is comprised of senior management, credit administration and collection personnel. The committee reports quarterly to the Credit Administration Committee of the Board of Directors.
Management continuously reviews the risks inherent in the loan and lease portfolios. Specific factors used to evaluate the adequacy of the loan loss provision during this formal process include:
- Specific loans that could have loss potential
- Levels of and trends in delinquencies and non accrual loans
- Levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries
- Trends in volume and terms of loans
- Changes in risk selection and underwriting standards
- Changes in lending policies, procedures and practices
- Experience, ability and depth of lending management
- National and local economic trends and conditions
- Changes in credit concentrations
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, there were no adjustments made to the historical loan loss experience, based on a review of the loan portfolio, for the factors specified above.
The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans in specific industries or outside the Northeastern Pennsylvania geographic area. There are no individual significant nonperforming loans.

Loans, net of unearned discount and fees, include loans available-for-sale.
The allowance for loan losses can generally absorb losses throughout the loan and lease portfolios. However, in some instances an allocation is made for specific loans or groups of loans.
The slowing economy has impacted the loan portfolio. That trend is reflected in the increase in charged-off loans, especially commercial and consumer. The increase in the number of delinquencies necessitated the hiring of additional collection personnel.
Over the last five years, management has analyzed and relied on similar factors in determining the amount of loan loss provision relative to the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss. The methodology used by the Bank to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is as follows (loans and leases are collectively referred to as loans):
- Identification of specific problem loans by loan category by the credit administration.
- Calculation of specific reserves required based on collateral and other persuasive evidence.
- Identification of loans collateralized by cash.
- Determination of remaining homogenous pools by loan category and eliminating loans collateralized by cash and loans with specific reserves.
- Application of historical loss percentages (5-year average) to pools to determine the reserve allocation.
Allocation of the allowance for loan losses for different categories of loans is based on the methodology used by the Bank, as explained above. The changes in the allocations from period to period are based upon reviews of the loan and lease portfolios.
In the internal review of loans for both delinquency and collateral sufficiency, management concluded that there were an above average number of loans that lacked the ability to repay in accordance with contractual terms.
The decision to place loans on a non-accrual basis is made on an individual basis after considering factors pertaining to the loan.
In addition, it was determined there were other loans that did not have the ability to make any repayment. Accordingly, management found it necessary to charge-off these loans and to increase the allowance for loan loss for certain other loans. The charge-offs were made after collateral was repossessed, foreclosed upon or notice was forwarded to governmental guarantors.
The Bank is unaware of any potential problem loans that have not been reviewed and addressed. Potential problem loans are those where there is known information that leads the Bank to believe repayment of principal and/or interest is in jeopardy and the loans are neither non-accrual nor past due 90 days or more.
Based upon the thorough analysis of both the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2002, the Bank is confident that the allowance provides adequate protection against portfolio loss. However, there could be instances of which the Bank is unaware that may require additional charge-offs and or increases to the provision.
Interest rate risk management is an integral part of the Asset Liability Management Process. Interest rate risk is defined as the degree to which interest rate movements may affect net interest income and the balance sheet. Fluctuations in rates can affect income through the balance of repricing assets and source funds. If more assets reprice than liabilities, the balance sheet is positively gapped. This position contributes favorably to net interest income in a rising interest rate environment. Conversely, if the balance sheet has more liabilities repricing than assets, the balance sheet is liability sensitive and negatively gapped. In a declining rate environment, net interest income would improve.
The Company uses a simulation model to better understand the risks to the Company that may be brought about by changes in market interest rates. At June 30, 2002, the Company simulated the effects on net interest income given an immediate parallel shift in the yield curve of 200 basis points in either direction. The results of the simulation did not fall within the Company’s established policy limits for changes in net interest income if rates decreased 200 basis points. Given the current market conditions it is highly unlikely that there would be an immediate 200 basis point decline in rates. However, the Company is exploring strategies to improve this situation.
Liquidity for a bank is the ability to fund customers' needs for borrowings and withdrawals. Sources of liquidity are:
- Cash and cash equivalents
- Asset maturities, paydowns and sales
- Growth of core deposits
- Growth of repurchase agreements
- Increase of other borrowed funds
- Issuance of capital stock
Management monitors asset and liability maturities to match anticipated cash flow requirements. These cash flow requirements are reviewed with the use of internally generated reports. The Company has instituted certain procedures and policy guidelines to manage the rate sensitive position. Those internal rules enable the Company to react to changes in market rates and protect net interest income from significant fluctuations.
Cumulative liquidity (in thousands of dollars):
June 30, 2002 Dec 31, 2001 June 30, 2001
Assets due within one year $216,454 $169,775 $157,118
Liabilities due within one year $275,592 $272,214 $253,726
Percent of assets due within one year
to liabilities due within one year 78.54% 62.37% 61.92%
Investments included with assets due within one year were scheduled by maturity dates and not by call dates.
Liabilities include deposits not having stated maturity dates (DDA’s, NOWs, Savings & MMDA’s) in the amounts reported. In addition, sweep accounts were classified as having immediate maturity dates.
The improvement in liquidity was caused by the reduction in market rates. As market rates began to decrease, investment securities, subject to call dates, were in fact called. Other investments and loans began to prepay. This provided the Bank with a significant source of funds to meet liquidity demands.
Management believes that the present level of liquidity is adequate for current operations.
This presentation does not take into consideration lines of credit that are available to the Company, or assets available-for-sale, both of which could be used to meet liquidity needs. The Company’s capital amounts and ratios at June 30, 2002 are as follows:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
On July 1, 2002 the Bank
was served with a civil complaint that was filed on June 28, 2002. The complaint
was referred to legal counsel and is under investigation at the time of this
writing. Due to the timing of the complaint and the filing deadline for this
report, legal counsel is unable to render an opinion as to the merits of the
complaint. An opinion will be forthcoming upon completion of the investigation.
