NOTE
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peoples Financial
Services Corp. (the “Corporation” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Peoples National Bank (the “Bank”), Peoples Advisors, LLC
(“Advisors”), and Peoples Financial Capital Corporation. The Bank has two wholly
owned subsidiaries, Peoples Financial Leasing, LLC and Peoples Investment
Holdings, LLC. Peoples Financial Capital Corporation, Peoples
Investment Holdings, LLC, and Peoples Financial Leasing, LLC were all
incorporated in April of 2007. All material inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information as well as with instructions for Form 10Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. 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 a fair presentation have been included
and
are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE
4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock option plan was accounted for under the
recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25),
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations,
as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation (as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure) (collectively SFAS 123). No
stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Company’s
consolidated statements of income through December 31, 2005, as all options
granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of
the
underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006,
the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No.
123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective
transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized
in
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
prior
to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair
value
calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December
31, 2005, based on a grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). As of December 31, 2006, only 4,100 stock options
were not fully vested and no stock options were granted during the six months
ended June 30, 2007.
As
a
result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s earnings before
income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are not materially
different than if it had continued to be accounted for as share-based
compensation under Opinion 25. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had 3,850
stock
options not fully vested and there was approximately $2,000 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to these non-vested options. The cost
is
expected to be recognized monthly on a straight-line basis through December
31,
2008.
NOTE
5. GAIN ON SALE OF INTEREST IN INSURANCE AGENCY
In
May of
2007, the Company sold its 20% interest in Community Banker’s Insurance Agency
LLC, for proceeds of $551,000. The total gain recognized through this
transaction totaled $220,000.
NOTE
6. GUARANTEES
The
Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition
or disclosure, other than standby letters of credit. Outstanding
letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The
Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented
by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company had
$3,073,000 of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2007 The Bank
uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does
for
on-balance sheet instruments.
The
majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve
months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan
commitments. The Company requires collateral supporting these letters
of credit as deemed necessary. The maximum undiscounted exposure
related to these commitments at June 30, 2007 was $3,073,000, and the
approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation, that would be
expected to cover this maximum potential exposure, was
$1,834,000. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2007,
for guarantees under standby letters of credit is not material.

NOTE
7. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
EITF
06-11
In
March 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for
Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards.” EITF 06-11
requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends
or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to
employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards
as
an increase to additional paid-in capital. EITF 06-11 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after September 15, 2007. The Company does not expect EITF
06-11 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
EITF
06-10
In
March
2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting
for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements” (“EITF
06-10”). EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the
postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement
of the
associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment
agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 06-10 on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
EITF
06-5
On
September 7, 2006, the EITF reached a conclusion on Issue No. 06-5,
“Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount That Could
Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting
for Purchases of Life Insurance” (“EITF 06-5”). The scope of EITF 06-5 consists
of six separate issues relating to accounting for life insurance policies
purchased by entities protecting against the loss of “key persons.” The six
issues are clarifications of previously issued guidance on FASB Technical
Bulletin No. 85-4. EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. Adoption of EITF 06-5 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
SFAS
No. 157
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal
years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of
the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
9
SFAS
No. 159
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159
provides companies with an option to report many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured
at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both
complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently. The FASB believes that SFAS No. 159 helps to mitigate
accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report related assets
and
liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need for companies
to
comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting. SFAS No. 159 also
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes
for
similar types of assets and liabilities, and would require entities to display
the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has
chosen
to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The new statement
does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting
standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements
included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This
statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have
on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
FSP
FIN 48-1
In
May
2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of
Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN
48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively
settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax
benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1,
2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material
impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements
of
the Corporation is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of
financial results. The Corporation’s subsidiaries, Peoples National
Bank and Peoples Advisors, LLC, provide financial services to individuals
and
businesses within the Bank’s primary market area made up of Susquehanna, Wyoming
and Northern Lackawanna Counties in Pennsylvania, and Broome County in New
York. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject
to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Office of the Comptroller
of
the Currency. Advisors is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (NASD), which also acts as the primary regulator for
Advisors. Peoples Financial Leasing, LLC is a subsidiary of the Bank and
provides employee leasing services to the Bank. Peoples Investment Holdings,
LLC
is also a subsidiary of the Bank and its main activities are the maintenance
and
management of its intangible investments and the collection and distribution
of
the income from such investments or from tangible investments located outside
of
Delaware. Likewise, Peoples Financial Capital Corporation is a subsidiary
of the
Company and its main activities are the maintenance and management of its
intangible investments and the collection and distribution of the income
from
such investments or from tangible investments located outside of
Delaware.

affect business and operations.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Disclosure
of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006. Some of these policies are
particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions to be made by Management. Additional information is
contained on page 20 of this report for the provision and allowance for loan
losses.
OVERVIEW
Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 18.41% to $2.412
million
as compared to $2.037 million for the same period in 2006. Diluted
earnings per share increased 20.31% to $.77 per share for the first half
of 2007
from $.64 per share in the same six-month period in 2006. At June 30,
2007, the Company had total assets of $414.781 million, total net loans of
$274.308 million, and total deposits of $325.562 million.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
At
June
30, 2007, cash, federal funds sold, and deposits with other banks totaled
$6.687
million as compared to $12.380 million on December 31, 2006. The decrease
from
December 31, 2006 has been due to the maturity of a $2.500 million certificate
of deposit in February of 2007 as well as the reduction in the federal funds
sold balance from the year end amount of $2.227 million to the current position
of no federal funds sold.
11
Management
believes the liquidity needs of the Corporation are satisfied by the current
balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional
funding sources, and the portion of the securities and loan portfolios that
mature within one year. The current sources of funds will enable the
Corporation to meet all its cash obligations as they come due.
Securities:
Securities
totaled $109.071 million on June 30, 2007, decreasing by $1.231 million from
the
December 31, 2006 total of $110.302 million.
The
total
securities portfolio is held as available for sale. This strategy was
implemented in 1995 to provide more flexibility in using the investment
portfolio for liquidity purposes as well as providing more flexibility in
selling when market opportunities occur.
Securities
available for sale are accounted for at fair value, with unrealized gains
or
losses net of deferred income taxes reported in the accumulated other
comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity. The carrying
value of securities, as of June 30, 2007, included an unrealized loss of
$2.982
million reflected as accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.968 million
in
stockholders’ equity, net of deferred income taxes of $1.014
million. This compares to an unrealized loss of $598 thousand, at
December 31, 2006, reflected as accumulated other comprehensive loss of $395
thousand, net of deferred income taxes of $203 thousand. The current unrealized
loss position of the securities portfolio is the product of an increase in
long
term treasury rates in the second quarter of 2007. As long term rates increase,
the underlying value of securities owned by the Company decrease, creating
an
unrealized loss. The Company has the intent and ability to hold such
securities until maturity or market price recovery. Management
believes that the unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the
securities.
Management
monitors the earnings performance and effectiveness of liquidity of the
securities portfolio on a monthly basis through the Asset/Liability Committee
(“ALCO”). The ALCO also reviews and manages interest rate risk for
the Corporation. Through active balance sheet management and analysis
of the securities portfolio, the Corporation maintains sufficient liquidity
to
satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of its
customers.
Loans:
Net
loans
increased $4.925 million, or 1.83%, to $274.308 million as of June 30, 2007
from
$269.383 million as of December 31, 2006. Of the loan growth
experienced in the first six months of 2007, the largest growth was in
commercial loans. Commercial loans, which include traditional commercial
loans
as well as commercial real estate mortgages, increased $2.827 million, or
2.01%,
to $143.758 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to $140.931 million at year-end
December 31, 2006. Residential real estate mortgages increased $1.376 million,
or 1.22%, to $114.259 million as of June 30, 2007 compared to $112.883 million
as of December 31, 2006.
Increasing
the loan to deposit ratio is a goal of the Bank, but loan quality is always
considered in this effort. Management has continued its efforts to
create good underwriting standards for both commercial and consumer
credit. Most commercial lending is done primarily with locally owned
small businesses.
The
collective increase in loans corresponds with the increase in deposits discussed
further in the deposits section of this document.
12
Other
Assets:
Other
assets increased $390 thousand, or 15.89%, to $2.845 million as of June 30,
2007
from $2.455 million as of December 31, 2006. The most significant
increase in other assets was the $811,000 increase in deferred taxes on
unrealized losses on securities available for sale from December 31, 2006
to
June 30, 2007. Other increases in other assets were due, in part, to
the pre-payment of Pennsylvania shares tax for 2007. The balance in
this account was $184 thousand as of June 30, 2007 compared to a $3 thousand
balance as of December 31, 2006. Increases in the amount of $96 thousand
in
prepaid expenses also contributed to the increase in other assets. As of
June
30, 2007, prepaid expenses totaled $474 thousand as compared to $378 thousand
at
year-end December 31, 2006. Those increases were
offset primarily from the sale of the Company’s interest in an insurance
agency in May of 2007. This interest had a carrying value of $397
thousand as of December 31, 2006.
Deposits:
Deposits
are attracted from within the Bank’s primary market area through the offering of
various deposit instruments including NOW accounts, money market accounts,
savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and IRA’s. During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, total deposits increased by $1.949
million, or .60%, to $325.562 million compared to $323.613 million as of
December 31, 2006.
Borrowings:
The
Bank
utilizes borrowings as a source of funds for its asset/liability
management. Advances are available from the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) provided certain standards related to credit worthiness have been
met. Repurchase and term agreements are also available from the
FHLB.
Total
short-term borrowings at June 30, 2007 were $14.665 million as compared to
$12.574 million as of December 31, 2006, an increase of $2.091 million, or
16.63%. Long-term borrowings were $31.447 million as of June 30, 2007 compared
to $36.525 million as of December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5.078 million,
or
13.90%. The decrease in long-term borrowings included the maturity of $7.500
million in term borrowings which was offset by proceeds of new term borrowings
in the amount of $3.275 million at the FHLB.
Capital:
The
adequacy of the Corporation’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with
reference to the size, composition and quality of the Corporation’s resources
and regulatory guidelines. Management seeks to maintain a level of
capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth,
maintain favorable access to capital markets, and preserve high quality credit
ratings. As of June 30, 2007, regulatory capital to total average
assets was 9.26% as compared to 8.92% on December 31, 2006. The
Company repurchases its stock in the open market, or from individuals as
warranted, to leverage the capital account and to provide stock for its stock
option plan and dividend reinvestment plan. In the six months ended
June 30, 2007, the Company purchased 3,500 shares for the treasury at a total
cost of $94,500.
13
The
Corporation has complied with the standards of capital adequacy mandated
by the
banking regulators. The bank regulators have established “risk-based”
capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based
capital ratios reflect the relative risks of various assets the banks hold
in
their portfolios. A weight category of either 0% (lowest risk
asset), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset
on the
balance sheet. Capital is being maintained in compliance with
risk-based capital guidelines. The Company’s Tier 1 capital to risk
weighted asset ratio was 13.11% and the total capital ratio to risk weighted
asset ratio was 13.83% at June 30, 2007. The Corporation is deemed to
be well-capitalized under regulatory standards.
Liquidity:
Liquidity
measures an organization’s ability to meet cash obligations as they come
due. The consolidated statements of cash flows presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this
Form
10-Q provide analysis of the Corporation’s cash and cash
equivalents. Additionally, management considers that portion of the
loan and investment portfolio that matures within one year as part of the
Corporation’s liquid assets.
The
ALCO
addresses the liquidity needs of the Bank to see that sufficient funds are
available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals, as well as to the
placement of available funds in the investment portfolio. In
assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current
position as well as the future outlook.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements:
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments
that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity
risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new
loans, unfunded commitments of existing loans and letters of credit made
under
the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused
commitments on June 30, 2007 totaled $44.185 million, which consisted of
$26.761
million in unfunded commitments of existing loans, $14.351 million to grant
new
loans and $3.073 million in letters of credit. Due to fixed maturity
dates and specified conditions within these instruments, many will expire
without being drawn upon. Management believes that amounts actually
drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations and therefore,
do
not represent a significant liquidity risk to the Company.
Interest
Rate Sensitivity:
The
management of interest rate sensitivity seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest
margins and to provide consistent net interest income through periods of
changing interest rates.
The
Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of
financial instruments, or market risk, is composed primarily of interest
rate
risk. The primary objective of the Company’s asset/liability
management activities is to maximize net interest income while maintaining
acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The Company’s ALCO is
responsible for establishing policies to limit exposure to interest rate
risk,
and to ensure procedures are established to monitor compliance with those
policies. The guidelines established by ALCO are reviewed by the
Company’s Board of Directors.
14
The
tools
used to monitor sensitivity are the Statement of Interest Sensitivity Gap
and
the interest rate shock analysis. The Bank uses a software model to
measure and to keep track. In addition, an outside source does a
quarterly analysis to make sure our internal analysis is current and
correct. The Statement of Interest Sensitivity Gap is a good
assessment of current position and is a very useful tool for the ALCO in
performing its job. This report is monitored in an effort to “match”
maturities or re-pricing opportunities of assets and liabilities, in order
to
attain the maximum interest within risk tolerance policy
guidelines. The Statement does, although, have inherent limitations
in that certain assets and liabilities may react to changes in interest rates
in
different ways, with some categories reacting in advance of changes and some
lagging behind the changes. In addition, there are estimates used in
determining the actual propensity to change of certain items, such as deposits
without maturities.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Net
Interest Income:
For
the
three months ended June 30, 2007, total interest income increased by $444
thousand, or 7.94%, to $6.036 million as compared to $5.592 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due to the
increase in average loans as well as an increase in yields on loans, on a
fully
tax equivalent basis, from 6.66% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to 7.17%
for the same quarter in 2007. Average loans increased $5.743 million,
or 2.13%, to $274.995 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared
to
$269.252 million for the same three-month period in 2006. Overall
average earning assets increased to $384.360 million for the three months
ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to $373.782 million for the three months ended
June
30, 2006. The resulting interest earned on loans was $4.805 million
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.471 million
for
the same period in 2006, an increase of $334 thousand, or 7.47%. The overall
yield on earning assets, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 to 6.66% as compared to 6.00% for the three
months ended June 30, 2006.
For
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, total interest income increased by $1.116
million, or 10.21%, to $12.042 million as compared to $10.926 million for
the
six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was also primarily due
to the increase in average total loans. Average total loans increased
to $272.910 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
$265.899 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The
resulting interest earned on loans was $9.482 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $8.741 million for the same period in 2006,
an
increase of $741 thousand, or 8.48%. The overall yield on earning assets,
on a
tax equivalent basis, increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007 at
6.66%
as compared to 6.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as average earning
assets increased to $383.185 million for the period ended June 30, 2007 as
compared to $369.673 million for the same period in 2006.
Total
interest expense increased by $213 thousand, or 8.21%, to $2.807 million
for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.594 million for the three months
ended
June 30, 2006. This increase was attributable to the increase in the
cost of funds, as well as the increase in average interest bearing liabilities.
The cost of funds increased to 3.55% for the three months ended June 30,
2007 as
compared to 3.39% for the second quarter of 2006. Average interest
bearing liabilities also increased to $316.848 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $306.678 million for the three months
ended
June 30, 2006. This increase was due to the increase in average
savings. Average savings increased to $109.936 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $92.208 million for
the
same period in 2006.
Total
interest expense increased by $687 thousand, or 13.80%, to $5.664 million
for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.977 million for the six months
ended
June 30, 2006. As with the quarterly interest expense, this increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in the cost of funds, which increased
to 3.60% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 3.30%
for
the same period in 2006 as well as the increase in average interest bearing
liabilities. Average interest bearing liabilities increased to
$316.865 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $303.738
million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The year-to-date
increase in average interest bearing liabilities was also due to the increase
in
average savings. Average savings increased to $109.235 million for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 when compared to $87.477 million
for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Net
interest income increased by $231 thousand, or 7.71%, to $3.229 million for
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.998 million for the three months
ended
June 30, 2006. The Bank’s net interest spread increased to 3.11% for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 2.61% for the three months ended
June
30, 2006 on a fully tax equivalent basis. The net interest margin
increased to 3.73% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 from 3.22%
for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 on a fully tax equivalent basis.
Some
of the margin compression experienced since the Federal Reserve Open Market
Committee (FOMC) last increased the overnight borrowing rate in June of 2006
has
eased when compared to 2006. The yield curve has shown signs in the second
quarter of 2007 of returning to a more normal shape. That is, while short
term
treasury rates have remained somewhat static, the long end of the curve has
come
down in price and the resulting yields have drifted upward. While still
relatively flat by historical standards, loans and deposits have begun to
reprice at slightly higher rates and some restructuring within the securities
portfolio has allowed the Company to take advantage of the higher yields.
Deposit liability rates are affected by the short end of the yield curve
while
loan and securities rates tend to follow the long end of the yield curve,
the
result of which has been the increase in net interest margin.
Net
interest income increased by $429 thousand, or 7.21%, to $6.378 million for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.949 million for the six months ended
June
30, 2006. The Bank’s net interest spread increased to 3.06% for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 from 2.99% for the six months ended June 30,
2006
on a fully tax equivalent basis. The net interest margin increased to
3.68% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 from 3.58% for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2006 on a fully tax equivalent basis. The increase
in net
interest spread and net interest income for the six months ended June 30,
2007
when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 is also due to the
repositioning of the yield curve which was discussed with the quarterly
results.

Provision
for Loan Losses:
The
provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $120
thousand, an increase of $60 thousand over the same period in 2006.
The
provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $240
thousand, an increase of $120 thousand over the same period in 2006. Changing
economic conditions, as well as internal analysis performed on the loan
portfolio, have made necessary the increases in the loan loss provision for
both
the quarter ended and six-month period ended June 30, 2007. One of the Bank’s
main goals is to increase the loan to deposit ratio without jeopardizing
loan
quality. To reach its goal, management has continued its efforts to
create strong underwriting standards for both commercial and consumer
credit. The Bank’s lending consists primarily of retail lending which
includes single family residential mortgages and other consumer lending and
commercial lending primarily to locally owned small businesses.
In
the
three-month period ended June 30, 2007, charge-offs totaled $17 thousand
while
net charge-offs totaled $9 thousand as compared to $37 thousand and $30
thousand, respectively, for the same three-month period in 2006.
In
the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, charge-offs totaled $36 thousand while
net
charge-offs totaled $17 thousand as compared to $58 thousand and $43 thousand,
respectively, for the same six-month period in 2006.
Monthly,
senior management uses a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio to determine
loan loss reserve adequacy. The process considers all “problem loans”
including classified, criticized, and monitored loans. Prior loan
loss history and current market trends, both nationally and locally, are
taken
into consideration. A watch list of potential problem loans is
maintained and monitored on a monthly basis by the Board of
Directors. The Bank has not had, nor presently has, any foreign
loans. Based upon this analysis, senior management has concluded that
the allowance of loan losses is adequate.

Other
Income:
Service
charges and fees increased 16.36%, or $71 thousand, to $505 thousand in the
three months ended June 30, 2007, from $434 thousand in the three months
ended
June 30, 2006.
Service
charges and fees increased 6.24%, or $56 thousand, to $953 thousand in the
six
months ended June 30, 2007, from $897 thousand in the six months ended June
30,
2006. The increase in service charges and fees is due, in part, to
net overdraft fees which were $649 thousand for the six-month period ended
June
30, 2007 compared to $598 thousand for the comparable period in 2006, an
increase of $51 thousand, or 8.53%. Increases in overdraft fees were
budgeted to be $630 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a positive
variance of $19 thousand, or 3.02%.
Investment
division income was $106 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30,
2007, an increase of $48 thousand, or 82.76%, from the same period in
2006. Previous discussions within the Company’s quarterly filings
discussed that the investment division had pursued a different business model
in
2006 in comparison to prior periods. The change was implemented in
the fee structure which went from a one-time, up-front commission to a smaller
commission received on a recurring basis over the life of an
account. This meant that the Company had to forego short-term profits
in lieu of a long-term fee structure. This model has taken full effect in
2007
as has been reflected in commissions realized through the first two quarters
of
2007.
Investment
division income was $185 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30,
2007,
an increase of $85 thousand, or 85.00%, from the same period in
2006. Again, the change in the business model implemented in 2006 has
been the main contributing factor.
Earnings
on investment in life insurance was $76 thousand for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $68 thousand for the three-month period
ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $8 thousand, or 11.76%. The rates earned on
life
insurance products are variable and have benefited from increases in longer
term
rates.
Earnings
on investment in life insurance were $151 thousand for the six- month period
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $133 thousand for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2006. Increases in earnings for the year-to-date period ended June
30,
2007 are also the product of increases in long term market rates.
Other
income was $106 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of $21 thousand from $85 thousand for the comparable period in 2006. This
change
is not considered material.
Other
income was $276 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of
$89 thousand, or 47.59%, from $187 thousand for the comparable period in
2006.
Contributing to the increase for the period ended June 30, 2007 is commission
income realized
from
Community Bankers Insurance Agency (CBIA). This item accounted for $65 thousand
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $13 thousand
for the
same period in 2006, an increase of $52 thousand.
Gain
on
sale of interest in insurance agency was $220,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $0 for the comparable period in 2006. Gain
on sale of interest in insurance agency was $220,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $0 for the comparable period in 2006. The
Company realized this gain through the sale of its 20% interest in Community
Bankers Insurance Agency (CBIA) in May of 2007. The Company does not
expect the sale of the insurance agency to have a significant impact on future
earnings.
21
Losses
on
security sales were $165 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to gains of $8 thousand for the comparable period in 2006, a decrease
of $173 thousand. The decrease is due to a restructuring which
occurred in the securities portfolio in the second quarter of 2007. As
previously discussed within the results of operations, increases to the long
end
of the treasury curve has allowed the Company to take advantage of higher
rates
within the securities market. The decision was made by management in the
second
quarter of 2007 to sell lower yielding securities at a loss to take advantage
of
higher rates going forward. The lower yielding securities were replaced with
higher yielding variable rate mortgage backed securities that will benefit
the
Company in future periods.
Losses
on
security sales were $136 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to losses of $9 thousand for the comparable period in 2006, a decrease
of $127 thousand. The decrease is again due to the restructuring
within the securities portfolio which occurred in the second quarter of
2007.
Other
Operating Expenses:
Total
other expenses increased 1.94%, or $47 thousand, to $2.471 million during
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.424 million for the comparable
period in 2006.
Total
other expenses increased 4.56%, or $214 thousand, to $4.911 million during
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.697 million for the comparable
period in 2006.
Notable
components of other expenses are as follows:
Salaries
and benefits increased .34%, or $4 thousand, to $1.177 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.173 million for the same period
in
2006. Normal pay increases in 2007 have been offset by the decrease in benefit
expenses associated with a supplemental executive retirement plan which is
no
longer funded after December 31, 2006 due to the retirement of the Chief
Executive Officer.
Salaries
and benefits increased 1.81%, or $42 thousand, to $2.358 million for the
six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.316 million for the same period
in
2006, also as a result of normal pay increases which have been offset by
the
reduction in executive benefits in 2007. The full-time equivalent number
of
employees was 114 as of June 30, 2007 compared to 117 as of June 30,
2006.
Occupancy
expenses increased $4 thousand, or 2.29%, for the three-month period ended
June
30, 2007, to $179 thousand, compared to $175 thousand for the same period
in
2006. The increase is not considered to be material.
Occupancy
expense increased $16 thousand, or 4.43%, for the six-month period ended
June
30, 2007, to $377 thousand, compared to $361 thousand for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2006. As energy costs associated with heating and air
conditioning systems have continued to rise, so have the expectations for
occupancy expenses. In light of the continued increases to such costs, the
increase to this category is deemed to be insignificant.
Equipment
expense increased $16 thousand, or 13.56%, for the three-month period ended
June
30, 2007, to $134 thousand, compared to $118 thousand for the same period
in
2006. These costs increased due to increased depreciation expense
associated with new equipment purchased late in 2006 to replace equipment
which
was damaged or destroyed in the flooding which occurred in June of
2006.
Equipment
expense increased $40 thousand, or 17.94%, for the six-month period ended
June
30, 2007, to $263 thousand, compared to $223 thousand for the six month period
ended June 30, 2006. Again, these costs increased due to increased
depreciation expense associated with new equipment purchased late in 2006
to
replace equipment which was damaged or destroyed in the flooding which occurred
in June of 2006.
22
Professional
fees and outside services decreased $4 thousand, or 4.60%, in the three months
ended June 30, 2007 to $83 thousand, compared to $87 thousand for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2006. The decrease is not considered to
be
material.
Professional
fees and outside services increased $9 thousand, or 5.29%, in the six months
ended June 30, 2007 to $179 thousand, compared to $170 thousand for the same
six-month period ended June 30, 2006. Overall, the variance in professional
fees
is not deemed to be significant.
Computer
services and supplies increased $6 thousand, or 3.51%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2007, to $177 thousand, compared to $171 thousand for the
comparable period in 2006. This slight increase is deemed to be in
line with budget expectations.
Computer
services and supplies decreased $13 thousand, or 3.30%, for the six months
ended
June 30, 2007, to $381 thousand, compared to $394 thousand for the comparable
period in 2006. The decrease in computer services and supplies is primarily
due
to decreases in ATM expenses. As of February of 2006, the Company no
longer utilizes the services of Midwest Payment Systems in the processing
of ATM
and debit card transactions. The Company now internally processes
those transactions at a reduced cost. The year to date decrease in ATM expenses
were $14 thousand.
All
other
operating expenses increased $21 thousand, or 3.00%, to $721 thousand in
the
three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $700 thousand for the same
three-month period in 2006. The increase in all other operating
expense categories, which include non-income/non-payroll associated taxes,
and
other standard operating expenses, is due to various items in the second
quarter
of 2007. Those instances include losses incurred through the charge-off of
a
customer deposit account in the amount of $40 thousand in the second quarter
of
2007.
All
other
operating expenses increased $120 thousand, or 9.73%, to $1.353 million for
the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.233 million for the
same
six-month period in 2006. As with the quarterly results, the increase
in all other operating expense categories, which include non-income/non-payroll
associated taxes, and other standard operating expenses, is due to the
additional 2007 expenses discussed with the quarterly results as well as
an
additional $23 thousand in costs associated with bad loans.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) created
a new
risk framework of four risk categories and established assessment rates to
coincide with each category. Assessment rates for Risk Category I
institutions, which includes the Bank, range from 5 to 7 basis
points. The FDIC also approved a one-time assessment credit for banks
in existence on December 31, 1996, that paid a deposit insurance assessment
prior to that date. Management believes that the one-time credit will
more than offset the new FDIC assessment cost for 2007. It
anticipates that the credit will be depleted in the second quarter of
2008. Accordingly, the Bank will begin to recognize the FDIC
assessment cost at that time.
23
Income
Tax Provision:
The
Corporation recorded an income tax provision of $197 thousand, or 13.26%
of
income, and $175 thousand, or 15.00% of income, for the quarters ended June
30,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
The
Corporation recorded an income tax provision of $464 thousand, or 16.13%
of
income, and $403 thousand, or 16.52% of income, for the six months ended
June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Decreases in the effective tax rate
for the quarter ended, and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 is due
to
increased tax-exempt loan interest income.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
The
Federal Reserve has now held at an overnight borrowing rate of 5.25% since
the
last increase in June of 2006. As such, the Company continues to operate
with a
compressed net interest margin. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank is currently
showing slight sensitivity to an upward rate shift scenario with more
significant sensitivity to a downward shift in rates. The results of
the latest financial simulation follow. The simulation shows a possible decrease
in net interest income of .11%, or $15 thousand, in a +200 basis point rate
shock scenario over a one-year period. A decrease of 2.41% or $341
thousand is shown in the model at a -200 basis point rate shock
scenario. The net interest income risk position of the Bank remains
within the guidelines established by the Bank’s asset/liability
policy. The Bank continuously monitors its rate
sensitivity.
Equity
value at risk is monitored regularly and is also within established policy
limits. Please refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for December 31, 2006, for further discussion
of this matter.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures.
The
Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended) as of June 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the
Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective
in timely alerting them to any material information relating to the Company
and
its subsidiaries required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC
filings.
(b) Changes
in internal controls.
There
were no changes made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
24
Although
as stated above, we have not made any significant changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting in the most recent fiscal quarter, based
on
our documentation and testing to date, we have made improvements in the
documentation, design and effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting, including the purchase of internal control software that allows upper
management to view reports and to understand the risks and controls within
the
entire organization or specific areas of the organization. These
reports provide up to date information at all times.
