Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., Norwood Settlement Services, LLC, and WTRO Properties. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any other future interim period.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2012.

2. Earnings Per Share

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

The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect the retroactive effect of the 10% stock dividend declared during the period ending March 31, 2013.

(in thousands)


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,626		3,606		3,624		3,607
Dilutive effect of stock options		12		9		13		5
Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,638		3,615		3,637		3,612

Stock options which had no intrinsic value, because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore would not be included in the diluted EPS calculation were 0 and 66,000 as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based upon the closing prices of Norwood common stock of $28.95 and $27.45 per share on September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s shareholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2006 Stock Option Plan at the annual meeting on April 25, 2006. The Company awarded 1,100 options in 2013 which have a twelve-month vesting period. As of September 30, 2013, there was $40,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted in 2012 and 2013 under the plan, which will be fully amortized by December 31, 2013. All share and per share data has been adjusted to reflect the retroactive effect of the 10% stock dividend declared during the period ended March 31, 2013.

A summary of stock options from all plans, adjusted for stock dividends declared, is shown below.

		Weighted
		Average Exercise		Weighted Average	Aggregate
		Price		Remaining	Intrinsic Value
	Options	Per Share		Contractual Term	($000)

Outstanding at January 1, 2013	225,670	$	26.39	6.1 Yrs.	$	256
Granted	1,100		27.55	9.2 Yrs.		-
Exercised	(12,933)		24.77	4.2 Yrs.		-
Forfeited	(7,825)		29.33	4.7 Yrs.		-
Outstanding at September 30, 2013	206,012	$	26.39	5.5 Yrs.	$	527

Exercisable at September 30, 2013	176,862	$	26.28	4.8 Yrs.	$	472

Intrinsic value represents the amount by which the market price of the stock on the measurement date exceeded the exercise price of the option. The stock price was $28.95 as of September 30, 2013 and $27.05 as of December 31, 2012.

5. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees

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

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

A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)	September 30,
	2013			2012

Unfunded availability under loan commitments		$	23,223		38,297
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit			46,597		37,081
Standby letters of credit			6,991		11,277
		$	76,811		86,655

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

The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2013 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

At September 30, 2013, the Company has 107 debt securities in an unrealized loss position in the less than twelve months category and two debt securities in the twelve months or more category. In Management’s opinion the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. No other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded in 2013. Management believes that all unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities as the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of September 30, 2013 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were no material increases or decreases in the expected cash flows of these loans between May 31, 2011 (the “acquisition date”) and September 30, 2013. There has been no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality as of May 31, 2011. In addition, there has been no allowance for loan losses on these loans reversed. For loans that were acquired without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation.

The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information

and events, it is probably that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

A loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan when the Company grants a concession to the borrower because of the borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider. Such concessions include the reduction of interest rates, forgiveness of principal or interest, or other modifications of interest rates that are less than the current market rate for new obligations with similar risk.

The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of September 30, 2013, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $7.7 million and had no specific reserves. During 2013, four loans with a balance of $3.4 million were classified as a troubled debt restructuring. One credit in the amount of $1.2 million resulted in a decrease in the borrower’s debt but the remaining balance was classified as troubled debt since it would be unlikely that the borrower could obtain comparable financing elsewhere. Three credits in the amount of $2.2 million were classified as troubled debt restructurings based on extended periods of principal deferrals on the loans. As of December 31, 2012, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $5.6 million and resulted in specific reserves of $9,000. For the period ended September 30, 2013, there were no loans identified as troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the period. For the period ended September 30, 2012, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings, nor were there any loan modifications classified as troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during the period.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as non performance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $500,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

The Company’s primary business activity is with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in the hospitality lodging industry and property owners associations with loans outstanding of $37.4 million, or 39.5% of capital, to the hospitality lodging industry and $12.6 million, or 13.3% of capital, to property owners associations. There were no losses recognized on loans within these concentrations during the current period.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $32,000 and $7,000, respectively, in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $163,000 and $0, respectively, in the same period in 2012. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $1.6 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $0 and $0 respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $88,000 and $0, respectively, in the same period in 2012. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $0 and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available, quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and valuation techniques applied:

Securities:

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

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

The Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

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

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Foreclosed real estate owned	$	852	Appraisal of collateral(1)	Liquidation Expenses(2)	20%

(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.

(2)	Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):

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

Loans receivable (carried at cost):

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

Mortgage servicing rights (generally carried at cost)

The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.

Regulatory stock (carried at cost):

The Bank as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (carried at cost):

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the Bank-owned life insurance.

Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):

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

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):

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

Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):

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

Other borrowings (carried at cost):

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

Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):

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

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments were as follows at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. (In thousands)

9. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new requirements will take effect for public companies in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2013. The effect of adopting this standard increased our disclosure surrounding reclassification items out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU requires the measurement of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement with its co-obligors as well as any additional amount that the entity

expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The new standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this Update affect the scope, measurement, and disclosure requirements for investment companies under U.S. GAAP. The amendments do all of the following: 1. Change the approach to the investment company assessment in Topic 946, clarify the characteristics of an investment company, and provide comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment Company. 2. Require an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting. 3. Require the following additional disclosures: (a) the fact that the entity is an investment company and is applying the guidance in Topic 946, (b) information about changes, if any, in an entity’s status as an investment company, and (c) information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to any of its investees. The amendments in this Update are effective for an entity’s interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2013. Earlier application is prohibited. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this Update permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to UST and LIBOR. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. This ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, potential impairment of restricted stock, accounting for stock options, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments, valuation of impaired loans, and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-performing Assets” in the “Changes in Financial Condition” section.

The Company uses the modified prospective transition method to account for stock based compensation. Under this method companies are required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of options over the vesting period.

Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security.

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, the Company considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Company believes that the unrealized loss on all other securities at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represent temporary impairment of the securities, related to changes in interest rates.

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

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

Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein. More consideration was given to the long-term prospects for the FHLB as opposed to the recent stress caused by the extreme economic conditions the world is facing. Management also considered that the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios have increased from the prior year, liquidity appears adequate, and the new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to FHLB stock as of September 30, 2013.

In connection with the acquisition of North Penn, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $9.7 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institutions acquired in purchase transactions, at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss.

Changes in Financial Condition

General

Total assets as of September 30, 2013 were $703.8 million compared to $672.3 million as of December 31, 2012, an increase of $31.5 million. The increase includes $10.3 million of loan growth and a $10.8 million increase in overnight liquidity which was funded with a $24.3 million increase in deposits and a $9.8 million increase in short-term borrowings.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale as of September 30, 2013 was $150.9 million compared to $145.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The Company purchased $59.3 million of securities principally using the proceeds from $47.0 million of sales, calls, maturities and principal reductions of securities. Growth in deposits also funded a portion of security purchases.

The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio (Available-for Sale and Held-to Maturity) consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2013					December 31, 2012
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		% of portfolio			Amount		% of portfolio

U.S. Government agencies	$	27,519		18.2	%	$	13,092		9.0	%
States and political subdivisions		63,968		42.3			58,959		40.5
Corporate obligations		4,754		3.2			8,868		6.1
Mortgage-backed securities-
government sponsored entities		54,494		36.1			64,325		44.2

Total	$	151,078		100.0	%	$	145,563		100.0	%

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. The Company holds a small amount of equity securities in other financial institutions, the value of which has been impacted by the weakening conditions of the financial markets. Management believes that the unrealized losses on all other equity holdings represent temporary impairment of the securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans

Loans receivable totaled $487.0 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $476.7 million as of December 31, 2012. The $10.3 million of growth recorded in 2013 was attributed to a $10.0 million increase in residential mortgage loans and a $6.7 million increase in construction lending. Commercial real estate loans decreased $7.1 million during the period while other loans increased $700,000.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5,559,000 as of September 30, 2013 and represented 1.14% of total loans, compared to $5,502,000, or 1.15% of total loans, at December 31, 2012, and $5,341,000, or 1.11% of total loans, as of September 30, 2012. The Company had net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $1,943,000 compared to $1,767,000 in the comparable period in 2012. The Company’s loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries, economic and industry conditions, trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, large dollar exposures and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at September 30, 2013 based on the Company’s criteria. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

As of September 30, 2013, non-performing loans totaled $10.3 million, or 2.11% of total loans compared to $13.2 million, or 2.77% of total loans at December 31, 2012.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated:

Deposits

During the period, total deposits increased $24.3 million which includes growth of $19.6 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, a $13.3 million increase in money market and NOW accounts, and a $500,000 increase in savings deposits. Certificates of deposit decreased $9.1 million due primarily to the runoff of deposits acquired through promotions.

Total	$	548,698	$	524,425

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings as of September 30, 2013 totaled $38.5 million compared to $28.7 million as of December 31, 2012. Short-term borrowings, which consisted of securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $9.8 million principally due to the seasonality of municipal cash management accounts.

Other borrowings consisted of the following:

(dollars in thousands)

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Notes with the FHLB:
Convertible note due May 2013 at 3.015%	$	-	$	5,000
Fixed rate note due July 2015 at 4.34%		7,348		7,487

Amortizing advance due January, 2018 at 0.91%		2,608		-
	$	19,956	$	22,487

The convertible notes contain an option which allows the FHLB, at quarterly intervals to change the note to an adjustable-rate advance at three month LIBOR plus 17 to 22 basis points. If the notes are converted, the option allows the Bank to put the funds back to the FHLB at no charge. The fixed rate borrowing due July 2015 includes a $348,000 fair value adjustment recorded at the time of the North Penn acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

A summary of the contractual amount of the Company’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(in thousands)
Unfunded availability under loan commitments	$	23,223	$	17,582
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		46,597		42,735
Standby letters of credit		6,991		6,128

	$	76,811	$	66,445

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

As of September 30, 2013, stockholders’ equity totaled $91.3 million, compared to $92.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The net change in stockholders’ equity included a $6.3 million of net income, that was partially offset by $3.1 million of dividends declared, a $319,000 reduction due to an increase in Treasury Stock, and a $462,000 increase due to the exercise and vesting of stock options. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased $4.4 million due to a decrease in fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of tax. This decrease in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates and spreads, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.

A comparison of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on pages 38 and 42. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2012

General

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, net income totaled $2,136,000 compared to $2,200,000 earned in the similar period in 2012. The decreased net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was due primarily to a $528,000 decrease in gains recognized on the sale of loans and securities compared to the same period of last year. An increase of $240,000 in foreclosed real estate expenses also contributed to the reduced earnings. A $500,000 reduction in the provision for loan losses partially offset the negative variances noted above. Earnings per share for the current period were $.59 for basic and fully diluted compared to $.61 per share basis and fully diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were 1.22% and 9.33%, respectively, compared to 1.27% and 9.54%, respectively, for the similar period in 2012.

The following table sets forth changes in net income:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $6,578,000, an increase of $18,000 from the similar period in 2012. The increase in net interest income largely reflects the improved mix and growth of the balance sheet which offset the reduced earnings on loans and investments due to repricing in the current low interest rate environment. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.89% and 4.05%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 3.87% and 4.07%, respectively, for the similar period in 2012.

Interest income (fte) totaled $7,454,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.59% compared to $7,717,000 and 4.78% for the 2012 period. Average loans increased $1.5 million over the comparable period of last year but resulted in a 22 basis point reduction in the yield earned, resulting in a $247,000 reduction in loan income. Reduced yields on securities offset additional earnings due to growth. Average earning assets totaled $649.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $4.4 million over the average for the similar period in 2012. This increase in average earning assets helped offset the decline in asset yields.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $876,000 at an average cost of 0.70% compared to $1,157,000 and 0.91% for the similar period in 2012. As a result of the continued low interest rate environment, the Company further reduced rates paid on its money market and savings accounts. The cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, declined to 1.17% from 1.42% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current lower rates resulting in the decrease.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $400,000 compared to $900,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $590,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,334,000 for the similar period in 2012.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1,216,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1,591,000 for the similar period in 2012. Service charges and fees improved $53,000 compared to the prior year period which partially offset a $528,000 decrease in net gains from the sale of loans and securities. The current period includes a $198,000 gain on the sale of investment securities compared to a $631,000 gain in the third quarter of 2012. Net gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans decreased $95,000 compared to the same quarter of last year due to decreased sales during the current period. All other items of other income increased $100,000, net, compared to the third quarter of last year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $4,173,000 or an increase of $216,000 from $3,957,000 for the similar period in 2012. Costs associated with foreclosed real estate properties increased $240,000 due to write downs and on-going maintenance on the properties. All other operating expenses decreased $24,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $777,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the period ending September 30, 2013 compared to $786,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the similar period in 2012.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2012

General

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net income totaled $6,284,000 compared to $6,644,000 earned in the similar period in 2012. The decrease in net income for the nine month period ending September 30, 2013 was due primarily to a $350,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $310,000 increase in foreclosed real estate costs. Earnings per share for the current period were $1.73 for basic and fully diluted compared to $1.84 per share basic and fully diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were 1.22% and 9.07%, respectively, compared to 1.30% and 9.80%, respectively, for the similar period in 2012.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $19,396,000 a decrease of $235,000 or 1.2% from the similar period in 2012. The decrease in net interest income largely reflects the reduced yields earned on loans and securities due to growth and reinvestment at today’s lower rates. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.88% and 4.04%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 3.91% and 4.10%, respectively, for the similar period in 2012.

Interest income (fte) totaled $22,139,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.61% compared to $23,201,000 and 4.85% for the 2012 period. Residential mortgage rates remain historically low causing a portion of the portfolio to refinance at lower rates. As a result, the fte yield on average loans in the current period was 5.18%, a decrease from 5.42% in the 2012 period. The yield on investment securities also declined 30 basis points reflecting the reinvestment of cash flow, maturities and calls at the current lower rate. Average earning assets totaled $640.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 an increase of $2.8 million over the similar period in 2012. The growth in average earning assets helped to partially offset the decline in loan and securities yields.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $2,743,000 at an average cost of 0.73% compared to $3,571,000 and 0.94% for the 2012 period. The Company reduced rates paid on its deposits by 18 basis points and on other borrowings by 44 basis points. The cost of time deposits, which is the largest component of interest expense, was 1.17% for the 2013 period decreasing from 1.41% in 2012. This reflects time deposits maturing and repricing at the current lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,000,000 compared to $1,650,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. The increase in the provision was necessary to maintain the reserve at an adequate level after accounting for loan growth and charge-offs for the period ended September 30, 2013. Net charge-offs were $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.8 million for the similar period in 2012.

Other Income

Other income totaled $4,305,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4,088,000 for the similar period in 2012. The 2013 period includes $770,000 of proceeds from a bank-owned life insurance policy and a $160,000 improvement in all other service charges and fees compared to the same period of last year. The current period includes a $9,000 loss, net of mortgage servicing rights, on the sale of $1.6 million of residential mortgage loans compared to $143,000 in similar gains on the sales of $4.3 million of mortgage loans in the 2012 period. Gains on the sales of investment securities totaled $590,000 on sales of $30.0 million for the 2013 period compared to $1,318,000 of gains on sales of $23.3 million in the similar 2012 period. The proceeds from investment securities sales were reinvested in the Company’s bond portfolio as well as to fund new loan growth.

Other Expense

Other expenses totaled $12,607,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 an increase of $546,000 compared to $12,061,000 for the similar period in 2012. Salary and benefit costs increased $138,000, or 2.2%, due to the staff additions and merit increases while occupancy and equipment expenses rose $97,000. Foreclosed real estate costs increased $310,000 over the comparable period in 2012 due to write downs and maintenance costs on foreclosed properties. All other operating expenses increased $1,000, net. The efficiency ratio for the 2013 period was 55.2% compared to 50.8% in the 2012 period.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $1,930,000 for an effective tax rate of 23.5% in the 2013 period compared to $2,419,000 and 26.7% in 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a higher level of tax-exempt income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.

Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of September 30, 2013, the level of net interest income at risk in a 200 basis point increase in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits, while a 200 basis point decrease in rates would result in a net interest fluctuation that exceeds the policy limit. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 8% of net interest income for a ± 200 basis point shift in interest rates. Based on the current level of interest rates, the risk in the declining 200 basis point scenario is considered acceptable.

Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a positive 90 day interest sensitivity gap of $70.7 million or 10.1% of total assets, compared to the $54.3 million or 8.1% of total assets as of December 31, 2012. Rate sensitive assets repricing within 90 days increased $16.8 million due to a $10.8 million increase in interest-bearing deposits and a $6.8 million increase in loans repricing within the period. Time deposits repricing within 90 days decreased $4.6 million, while non-maturity interest bearing balances and other borrowings increased $5.0 million. A positive gap means that rate-sensitive assets are greater than rate-sensitive liabilities at the time interval. This would indicate that in a rising rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets could increase faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90 day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.
