FIDELITY D & D BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Nature of operations and critical accounting policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fidelity D&D Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank (the Bank), (collectively, the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods have been included. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior period amounts are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current periods presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For additional information and disclosures required under GAAP, please refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The Bank is a commercial bank chartered in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Having commenced operations in 1903, the Bank provides a full range of traditional banking services, trust services and alternative financial products from its main office located in Dunmore and other branches throughout Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.
Management is responsible for the fairness, integrity and objectivity of the unaudited financial statements included in this report. Management prepared the unaudited financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In meeting its responsibility for the financial statements, management depends on the Companys accounting systems and related internal controls. These systems and controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial records accurately reflect the transactions of the Company, the Companys assets are safeguarded and that financial statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. All material adjustments required for a fair presentation have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. There have been no material changes in accounting principles, practices or in the method of application and there have been no retroactive adjustments during these periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the notes included therein, included within the Companys Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect many of the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
7
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses, as of June 30, 2004, is adequate and reasonable. Given the subjective nature of identifying and valuing loan losses, it is likely that well-informed individuals could make materially different assumptions, and could, therefore calculate a materially different allowance value. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revisions in the future. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Another material estimate is the calculation of fair values of the Companys investment securities. The Company receives estimated fair values of investment securities from an independent valuation service. In developing these fair values, the valuation service uses estimates of cash flows based on historical performance of similar instruments in similar interest rate environments. Based on experience, management is aware that estimated fair values of investment securities tend to vary among valuation services. Accordingly, when selling investment securities, management typically obtains price quotes from more than one source. The majority of the Companys investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair market value on the consolidated balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The fair market value of residential mortgage loans, classified as available-for-sale (AFS), is obtained from the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). The fair value of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, classified as AFS, is obtained from an outside pricing source. To determine the fair market value of student loans, classified as AFS, the Bank uses the pricing obtained from the most recent student loans sold from its AFS portfolio. The market to which the Bank sells mortgage and other loans is restricted and price quotes from other sources are not typically obtained.
2. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of incremental shares that would be outstanding after giving effect to the assumed exercise of stock options.
The following data illustrates the amounts used in computing EPS and the effects on income and the weighted-average number of shares of potentially dilutive common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

3. Stock plans
As permitted by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, the Company uses the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock compensation plans. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation cost is measured by the excess of the quoted market price of the stock, as of the grant date (or other measurement date) over the stocks exercise price. Since all options issued under the plans had an exercise price equal to the quoted market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, the stock is deemed to have no intrinsic value, and accordingly, no compensation cost is recorded.
The alternative fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provided under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires the use of option valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was not developed for use in valuing stock options granted under employer stock option plans. Rather, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair market value of short-term options traded in organized exchanges. Options traded in organized exchanges have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected or implied volatility of the options underlying stock. Since the options granted under the Companys stock option plans have characteristics significantly different from those of marketable options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially impact the estimated fair market value, in Managements opinion, the existing valuation models do no necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair market value of its employee stock options at the time of grant. In 2003 and for the first six months of 2004, the Company did not grant stock options under any of its stock plans.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following is Managements discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. Current performance may not be indicative of future results. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys 2003 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
Forward looking statements
This Interim Report on Form 10-Q contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

General
The Companys results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, which principally consists of loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consists of deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is determined by the Companys interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on its interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread is influenced by the overall interest rate environment, the composition and characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and by the competition in our marketplace. The interest rate spread and the changes in the interest rate spread, from period-to-period, is also influenced by differences in the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of assets compared to the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of liabilities that fund them.
The Companys profitability is also affected by the level of its non-interest income and expenses, provision for loan losses and provision for income taxes. Non-interest income consists mostly of service charges on the Banks various deposit products and income from loan and other banking fees. Non-interest expense consists of compensation and related employee benefit expenses, occupancy, equipment, data processing, advertising, marketing, professional fees, insurance and other operating overhead.
The Companys profitability is significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. The Companys loan portfolio is concentrated in commercial and commercial real estate. The properties underlying the Companys mortgages are concentrated in northeastern Pennsylvania. Credit risk, which represents the possibility of the Company not recovering amounts due from its borrowers, is significantly related to local economic conditions in the areas the properties are located as well as the Companys underwriting standards. Economic conditions affect the market value of the underlying collateral as well as the levels of occupancy of multi-family dwellings and levels of other income-producing properties and establishments.

COMPARISON
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2004 AND JUNE 30, 2003
Overview
Net income for the second quarter of 2004 of $921,000 was comparable to $923,000 for the same quarter in 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $0.50.
The quarter-to-quarter comparison included an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loans losses. These items were offset by a decrease in non-interest income, an increase in non-interest expense and an increase in the provision for income taxes.
Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.67% and 8.39%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 0.65% and 8.06%, respectively, for the same period in 2003.
Net interest income
Net interest income is the Companys primary source of earnings and is influenced primarily by the amount, distribution and re-pricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the relative levels and movements of interest rates.
Net interest income increased $662,000, or 19%, to $4,091,000 in the second quarter of 2004, from $3,429,000 in the same period of 2003. The increase was attributable to a 72 basis point decrease in rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities in conjunction with a $24,651,000 decrease in the average balances on which they are paid. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was predominantly in the Banks certificate of deposits, which experienced a decline of $57,336,000 on average, from high cost thirty-month product maturities and public fund certificate runoff, when compared to the average balances for second quarter of 2003. As a result, interest expense declined $996,000, or 27%, in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same 2003 quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2003, average interest-earning assets were $10,280,000 lower than the same quarter of 2004 due to called, matured and pay-downs of investment securities. In this low interest rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 5.23% in the 2004 quarter, primarily due to lower rates on new loans originated. The yield on investment securities increased 19 basis points due to a decrease in amortization of bond premium on the Banks portfolio of mortgage backed securities which represents the highest concentration of investments within the portfolio.
The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 12 basis points to 5.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004 the Banks tax equivalent margin and spread increased 58 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively. The increase in margin and spread is the result of the rates on the Banks interest-bearing liabilities declining at a faster pace than the yields earned on interest-earning assets.

In the table above, interest income was adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis to recognize the income from the various tax-exempt assets as if the interest was fully taxable. This treatment allows a uniform comparison among the yields on interest-earning assets. The calculations were computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis using the corporate federal tax rate of 34%. Net interest spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents the ratio of net interest income to total average interest-earning assets.

Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses represents the necessary amount charged to operations with the purpose to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level that represents Managements best estimate of known and inherent losses in the Banks loan portfolio. Loans and leases determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.
The required amount of the provision for loan losses, based upon the adequate level of the allowance for loan losses, is subject to ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio. The Bank maintains a Special Asset Committee which meets periodically to review problem loans and leases. The committee is comprised of Bank management, including the credit administration officer, loan workout officer and collection personnel. The committee reports quarterly to the Credit Administration Committee of the Board of Directors.
Management continuously reviews the risks inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. Specific factors used to evaluate the adequacy of the loan loss provision during the formal process include:
Specific loans that could have loss potential
Levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans
Levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries
Trends in volume and terms of loans
Changes in risk selection and underwriting standards
Changes in lending policies, procedures and practices
Experience, ability and depth of lending personnel
National and local economic trends and conditions
Changes in credit concentrations
The provision for loan losses decreased to $400,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $460,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Though non-performing loans increased $2,544,000, from December 31, 2003, management believes the current balance in the allowance for loan losses, due mostly to the provision recorded during the latter part of 2003 and the first quarter of 2004, is adequate. For more detailed information, refer to the sections titled Allowance for Loan Loss and Non-performing Assets under the Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
Other income
Non-interest income consists of service charges or fees collected on the Banks various deposit and loan products, net mortgage servicing revenue, fees from trust, asset management and other financial services, the increase in cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance and the realized gains and losses from the sales of investment securities, loans, leased assets and foreclosed assets held for sale.
Other income was $190,000, or 15%, lower for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. During 2004, the Banks sale of residential mortgages, into the secondary market, declined significantly compared to 2003. The surge in sales in 2003 was the result of the mortgage refinance activity that was spurred by the relatively low interest rate environment. As a result of lower sales activity, income from the sales of loans declined from $356,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $71,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. In addition, the Bank recorded gains of investment securities of $132,000 in 2003 which did not recur in 2004. Partially offsetting the decline in income recognized from the sales of loans and securities, the Bank experienced growth in service charges on deposit accounts and other fees and charges, including an increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance.
Other expenses
Other expenses were $525,000 or 17% more for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The increase was largely due to a $136,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense, a $36,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses, a $16,000 increase in advertising and approximately $336,000 more in other operating expenses. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to the hiring of additional experienced staff in key positions in 2004, increased incentive compensation and the related payroll taxes and the increased cost of various
13
employee benefits. The increase in premises and equipment was due to increased expenses related to equipment repairs and rentals. The increase in the other operating expenses was primarily the result of an initial recognition of an estimated $278,000 obligation related to the retirement benefit in negotiations with the Companys former chairman and president. The retirement benefit represents a present value obligation for certain benefits, to be paid periodically in the future, that include payments, reduced by appropriate taxes, and estimated medical insurance premiums as well as the transfer of a company owned vehicle. Based upon the subjective nature of the medical insurance premium portion of the accrual, as it relates to future premium costs, and the uncertainty of the future benefit period to be covered, the Company may find it necessary to increase or decrease the accrual.
Income tax provision
The difference between the expected provision and actual provision for income taxes is primarily due to tax-free income and use of low-income housing tax credits.
For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded a tax provision of $302,000 compared to $293,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the respective period, the effective tax rates were 24.7% and 24.1%. The effective tax rate for the periods differ due to the percentage of pre-tax earnings represented by tax-free income from the Banks portfolio of municipal securities, a portion of dividends received from its investment in equity securities, tax-free commercial mortgages and leases and the increase in the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance.
COMPARISON
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2004 AND JUNE 30, 2003
Overview
Net income for the first six months of 2004 declined 15% to $1,546,000 from $1,810,000 for the first six months of 2003. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.84 in the first half of 2004 from $0.99 in the first half of 2003.
The decrease in net earnings recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was the result of an increase in the provision for loan losses, an increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in non-interest income. These items were partially offset by an increase in net interest income.
Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.55% and 7.01%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 0.64% and 7.99%, respectively, for the same period in 2003.
Net interest income
Net interest income increased $763,000, or 11%, to $8,024,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $7,261,000 for the same period in 2003. The increase was primarily due to a combined 66 basis point decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a $20,589,000 decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances in the Banks certificates of deposit declined $47,100,000 from the average for the six months of 2003, primarily from high cost thirty-month product maturities and public fund certificate runoff. As a result, interest expense declined $1,771,000, or 24%, in the first half of 2004 compared to the same 2003 period. Average interest-earning assets decreased $7,723,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The low interest rate environment that had been prevalent for the first half of 2004 caused yields on interest-earning assets to decline to 5.21%, from 5.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Lower rates on loan originations resulted in a 53 basis point decline in the yield on the loan portfolio.
The tax-equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 30 basis points to 5.30% for the first half of 2004, compared to 5.60% for the same period in 2003. During the first half of 2004 the Banks tax equivalent margin and spread increased 34 basis points and 36 basis points, respectively. The increase in margin and spread is the result of the Banks rates on interest-bearing liabilities declining at a faster pace than the yields earned on interest-earning assets.
The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 115.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to 118.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
14
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2004 was $1,250,000 or $490,000 more than the provision recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was due to an increase in non-performing loans of approximately $2,544,000 since December 31, 2003. Most of the provision for loan losses was recorded during the first quarter of 2004, when non-performing loans increased $4,398,000. The increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to a single commercial relationship consisting of two loans of $4,825,000 in the aggregate. These two loans migrated to non-performing status during the first quarter of 2004. For more detailed information, refer to the sections titled Allowance for Loan Loss and Non-performing Assets under the Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
Other income
For the first six months of 2004, other income was $200,000, or 9%, lower compared to the same period in 2003. Other income was lower, in 2004, due primarily to increased losses recorded from the sales of leased assets and less net gains recorded from the sales of investment securities. Sales of mortgage loans into the secondary market declined $330,000 due to the aforementioned decline in loan refinance activity. Partially offsetting these items was growth in service charges on deposit accounts and other fees and charges, including an increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance.
Other expenses
For the first six months of 2004, other expenses increased $505,000, or 8%, to $6,814,000 from the $6,309,000 recorded during the first six months of 2003. The primary cause of the increase was a $220,000 increase in salary and benefits expense, a $58,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses and an increase of $224,000 other operating expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits was due to added staff in key positions in 2004, increased incentive compensation and the related payroll taxes and the escalating costs of the Banks various benefit programs. The increase in premises and equipment was largely due to increased equipment repairs and rentals, partially offset by decreases in the expenses to maintain the buildings and grounds. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily the result of recognition of the estimated $278,000 obligation related to the retirement benefit afforded to the Companys former chairman and president as described under the caption Other expenses in the Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, above.
Income tax provision
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded tax provisions of $432,000 and $599,000, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 21.8% and 24.9%, for each of the periods. The effective tax rate for the periods differ due to the percentage of pre-tax earnings represented by tax-free income from the Banks portfolio of municipal securities, a portion of dividends received from its investment in equity securities, tax-free commercial mortgages and leases and the increase in the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2004 AND DECEMBER 31, 2003
Overview
Consolidated assets decreased $34,595,000, or 6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $540,621,000. The asset decline resulted from a decrease in deposits of $24,139,000 and a decline in total borrowings of $9,942,000. Cash and cash equivalents, investments and loans decreased $7,271,000, $17,991,000 and $9,954,000, respectively, since December 31, 2003. Shareholders equity decreased $492,000 from $43,932,000, at December 31, 2003, to $43,440,000, at June 30, 2004. The decrease in shareholders equity was attributable to a $1,543,000 net unrealized holding loss on available-for-sale securities, recorded within other comprehensive loss, partially offset by earnings net of dividends paid and an increase in common stock. Common stock, net of treasury shares, grew from shares issued under the employee stock purchase and dividend re-investment plans.
A comparison of selected balance sheet information as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 follows:

Investment securities
The Banks investment policy is designed to complement its lending activities, generate a favorable return without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, manage interest rate sensitivity, provide monthly cash flow and manage liquidity at acceptable levels. In establishing investment strategies, the Bank considers its business and growth or restructuring plans, the economic environment, the interest rate sensitivity position, the types of securities held, permissible purchases, credit quality, maturity, call or average-life intervals and investment concentrations.
At the time of purchase, the Bank classifies investment securities into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale (AFS) or held to maturity (HTM). To date, the Bank has not purchased any securities for trading purposes. Management classifies most securities as AFS even though it has no immediate intent to sell them. The AFS designation affords Management the flexibility to sell securities and adjust the balance sheet in response to capital levels, liquidity needs and/or changes in market conditions. Securities AFS are carried at fair market value in the consolidated balance sheet with an adjustment to stockholders equity, net of tax, which is presented under the caption Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Securities designated as HTM are carried at amortized cost.
At June 30, 2004, the carrying value of investment securities totaled $126,416,000 or 23% of total assets. The portfolio is comprised of HTM and AFS securities with carrying values of $3,461,000 and $122,955,000, respectively. Approximately 56% of the investment portfolio was comprised of mortgage-backed securities that amortize and provide monthly cash flow. Agency bonds and municipal bonds comprised 28% and 9% of the investment portfolio, respectively.
At June 30, 2004, the AFS portfolio had an estimated pre-tax market decline of $2,661,000 and an after-tax equity adjustment of $1,756,000. This represents an after-tax depreciation of $1,543,000 in the estimated fair value from December 31, 2003. The decline occurred due to the composition of the Banks investment portfolio which includes securities with yields less than what can be readily obtained from similar securities in the investment markets.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalty. Federal agency and municipal securities are included based upon their original stated maturity. Mortgage-backed securities, which are based on weighted-average lives and subject to monthly principal pay-downs, are listed in total. Equity securities, which have no stated maturity and are listed in total, include stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank which is carried at cost.
Loans available - for- sale (AFS)
Upon origination, certain residential mortgages, the guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration loans and student loans are classified as AFS. Should market rates increase, fixed-rate loans and loans not immediately scheduled to re-price would no longer produce yields consistent with the current market. In a declining interest rate environment, the Bank would be exposed to prepayment risk and, as rates on adjustable rate loans decrease interest income would be negatively affected. To better manage interest rate risk, loans that meet these conditions may be classified as AFS. Consideration is also given to the current liquidity position and expected future liquidity needs. Loans AFS are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Unrealized gains are recognized to the extent of previous write-downs.
At June 30, 2004, loans AFS totaled $1,262,000, compared to $19,864,000, at December 31, 2003 or a decrease of $18,602,000. During the second quarter, the Bank transferred higher yielding mortgage loans with relatively shorter lives with aggregate principal balances of $11,246,000 and aggregate market values of $11,446,000 from the AFS to its loan portfolio. The loans were transferred at the lower of cost or market and therefore, no gain or loss was recognized. The Bank has both the ability and intent to hold these loans until maturity and they will continue to provide the Bank with yields in excess of current market rates. In addition, by transferring the loans from the AFS to the loan portfolio, the Bank will no longer be required to apply lower-of-cost-or market treatment to the principal balance. In an increasing interest rate environment, the loans AFS could attain market values significantly below their principal balances and, as a result, could create a significant drag on current earnings. During 2004, loans totaling $11,701,000 have been sold into the secondary market and gains of approximately $94,000 have been recognized.
Loans
The Bank originates commercial and commercial real estate loans, residential, consumer, home equity and construction loans. The relative volume of originations is dependent upon customer demand, current interest rates and the perception and duration of future interest levels. The Bank continues to focus its efforts on the expansion of variable-rate portfolios of commercial lending as well as originations of fixed-rate residential, including multi-family and consumer loans. The broad spectrum of products provides diversification which helps manage, to an extent, interest rate risk and credit concentration risk. Credit risk is further managed through underwriting policies and procedures and loan monitoring practices. Interest rate risk is managed using various asset/liability modeling techniques and analyses. The
17
interest rates on most commercial loans are adjustable with reset intervals of five years or less. Whenever practical, the Bank originates variable rate loans.
The majority of our loan portfolio is collateralized, at least in part, by real estate in the greater Lackawanna and Luzerne counties of Pennsylvania. Commercial lending activities generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than residential lending because they typically have larger balances and are more affected by adverse conditions in the economy. Because payments on loans secured by commercial and commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operation and management of the properties and the businesses which operate from within them, repayment of such loans may be affected by factors outside the borrowers control. Such factors may include adverse conditions in the real estate market, the economy, the industry or changes in government regulations. As such, commercial loans require more ongoing evaluation and monitoring that is occurring with the Banks credit administration and outsourced loan review functions.
Loans, net of unearned income increased from $371,979,000 at December 31, 2003, to $381,506,000 at June 30, 2004. During the second quarter, the Bank transferred residential mortgage loans with aggregate principal balances of $11,246,000 from the AFS to the loan portfolio. See Loans-available-for sale, above for further discussion on these loans.

Allowance for loan losses
Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the Banks loan portfolio and performs a formal review of the allowance for loan loss adequacy, on a quarterly basis. The allowance for loan loss reflects managements best estimate of losses, both known and inherent, in the existing loan portfolio. Managements judgment is based on the evaluation of individual loans, past experience, the assessment of current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. The provision for loan losses represents the amount necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance. Loan losses are charged directly against the allowance for loan losses when loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries on previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance when received.
Management applies two primary components during the loan review process to determine proper allowance levels. The two levels are specific loan loss allocation for loans that are deemed impaired and a general loan loss allocation for those loans not specifically allocated. The methodology to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:
Identification of specific problem loans by loan category by credit administration;
Calculation of specific allowances required based on collateral and other persuasive evidence;
Identification of loans collateralized by cash and marketable securities;
Determination of remaining homogenous pools by loan category and eliminating loans collateralized by cash, marketable securities and loans with specific allocations;
Application of historical loss percentages (three year average) to pools to determine the allowance allocation; and
18
Application of a qualitative factor adjustment percentage to historical losses for trends or changes in the loan portfolio.
Allocation of the allowance for loan losses for different categories of loans is based on the methodology used by the Bank, as explained above. The changes in the allocations from period to period are based upon reviews of the loan and lease portfolios.
Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $371,000, compared to $878,000, for the same period in 2003. Commercial and real estate mortgage net charge-offs decreased $99,000 and $63,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Consumer loans experienced an $83,000 net charge-off during the first half of 2004 compared to a net charge-off of $401,000 in the first half of 2003. Supplementing our existing loan work-out officer with a seasoned credit administration officer and collections manager has enabled us to aggressively manage and timely pursue the recovery of previously written-off loans. Recovery of previous loan write-offs increased $200,000 during the first half of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003.
Management believes that the current balance in the allowance for loans losses of $5,876,000 is sufficient to withstand the identified potential credit quality issues that may arise that are inherent to the loan portfolio. Currently, Management is unaware of any potential problem loans that have not been reviewed. Potential problem loans are those where there is known information that leads Management to believe repayment of principal and/or interest is in jeopardy and the loans are neither non-accrual status nor past due 90 days or more. However, there could be instances which become identified over the year that may require additional charge-offs and/or increases to the allowance. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.54% at June 30, 2004 compared to 1.28% at December 31, 2003.
The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses and certain key ratios for the period indicated:

Non-performing assets
The Bank defines non-performing assets as accruing loans past due 90 days or more, non-accrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate owned and repossessed assets. The Bank did not have restructured loans at June 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, non-performing assets represented 2.04% of total assets compared to 1.52% at December 31, 2003.
The non-accrual loan balance increased $2,999,000, to $10,322,000 during the first six months of 2004. Loans classified as non-accrual of $6,100,000 were added during the first six months of 2004 of which $233,000 was subsequently collected. The increase was primarily in commercial loans caused mostly by a single relationship with two loans totaling $4,825,000. These two loans have been subsequently assumed by a new operating entity but will remain on non-accrual status until a repayment history is developed. This increase was partially offset by total payoffs or pay downs of $1,446,000, charge offs of $456,000 and $1,140,000 of loans that have migrated to performing status.
Foreclosed assets held for sale includes other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets. The $216,000 OREO balance is represented by three properties that were foreclosed upon and transferred from loans. All of the properties are currently listed for sale with a realtor. Repossessed assets represent indirect auto loans, the payments of which have become delinquent and the vehicles repossessed.
Non-performing loans increased $2,544,000 since December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily in commercial loans as described above. The ratio of non-performing loans to end of period total loans increased 73 basis points, during the six month period. For the same period in 2003, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 2.08%, compared to 2.87% in 2004, or an increase of 79 basis points.

Other assets
The $1,106,000 increase in other assets from $3,072,000, at December 31, 2003, to $4,178,000, at June 30, 2004, was primarily due to an increase in the deferred tax asset of $923,000, $737,000 of which resulted from the change in the estimated fair value of investment securities AFS. The balance of the increase in other assets is from normal recurring operations.
Deposits
The Bank is a community-based commercial financial institution and offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Deposit products include passbook and statement savings accounts, NOW, money market, demand deposit and certificates of deposit accounts. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates, pricing and competition. Most of the Banks deposits are obtained from the communities surrounding the 12 branch offices. We attempt to attract and retain deposit customers via sales and marketing efforts with new products, quality service, competitive rates and long-standing customer relationships.
To determine the levels of deposit rates, consideration is given to local competition, market yields and the rates charged for alternative sources of funding such as borrowings. Although we have experienced a continued intense competition for deposits, we have not increased rates significantly as we only consider cost effective strategies in a relatively low interest rate environment.

Total deposits decreased $24,139,000 or 6% during the first six months of 2004 to $377,304,000. Total average deposits decreased $18,720,000 or 5% from $412,068,000, at December 31, 2003 to $393,348,000 at June 30, 2004.

Non-interest bearing demand deposits (DDAs) are an important source of funds for the Bank as they lower the overall deposit costs. The average balance of these accounts increased $4,941,000 or approximately 8%. To remain competitive in the markets in which we operate, rates on most interest-bearing deposit products were increased modestly in 2004. However, management expects approximately 34% of the certificate of deposit portfolio to re-price to lower market rates over the next year. Specifically, over $20,000,000 that remains in the thirty-month time deposit product, if retained, will re-price in the next 12 months.
During the first six months of 2004, the Banks deposit mix, though concentrated in time deposits, experienced a decline in most deposit categories. Core deposits, which excludes time deposits of $100,000 or greater, decreased $13,729,000 or 5% during the first six months of 2004, to $274,856,000. The Bank experienced a reduction in its transactional deposit products which includes both DDAs and NOW accounts. Checking accounts which includes transactional accounts, less bank checks, decreased $5,794,000 or 6%, while savings and club accounts increased $761,000 or 2%. Money market accounts decreased minimally throughout 2004.
Time deposits of $100,000 or greater decreased $10,410,000, or 9%, from $112,857,000 million at December 31, 2003 to $102,448,000 at June 30, 2004. This high-costing time deposit reduction occurred mostly from the run-off of thirty-month personal certificate of deposit accounts. The time deposit run-off is suspected to have gone to other institutions offering promotional short-term, above market rate products, in which management believes a portion may be recaptured later in 2004. Total time deposits, at June 30, 2004, were $201,779,000 or 53% of total deposits compared to $221,595,000 million or 55% at December 31, 2003. Approximately $67,816,000, or 34%, of total time deposits or 18% of total deposits are scheduled to mature in 2004. These maturing time deposits provide an opportunity for the Bank to service these customers and retain these deposits at potentially lower rates. The tiered money market deposit account along with the twenty-four and thirty-six month Smart certificate of deposit accounts, which provides the customer the ability to step up to a potentially higher rate at the one year anniversary, were successful products that have captured part of these maturing deposits and
Public funds have been a somewhat stable source of deposits and now represent $30,463,000 or 8% of total deposits at June 30, 2004 compared to $37,804,000 or 9% at December 31, 2003. The Bank is able to maintain public funds due to long established relationships and competitive product pricing. However, Management recognizes that public fund deposits are sensitive to the operating demands and business cycles of the various public entities as well as the forever-changing political landscape. As such, the Bank could continue to experience shifts and outflows of these balances throughout the year.
The Bank has begun implementation strategies with increased emphasis on expansion of commercial and consumer relationships, with a goal to increase lower costing core deposits, curtail deposit outflows, retain maturing time deposits and grow the deposit base to a higher level. To maintain and grow the Banks asset size will be largely dependent upon deposit retention and new customer relationships.
Borrowings
Borrowings totaled $116,691,000 at June 30, 2004 compared to $126,633,000 at December 31, 2003.
Borrowings are used as a complement to deposit generation as an alternative funding source. The Bank will Borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank for asset growth and liquidity needs. Included in borrowings is short-term customer repurchase (repos) agreements of $38,360,000 and $39,363,000, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Repos are non-insured interest-bearing liabilities that have a security interest in qualified investment securities of the Bank. Repos offered are either fixed-term or a daily-sweep product of the Bank. The balance in customer repurchase agreements fluctuates daily because the daily-sweep product is dependent on the level of available funds in depositor accounts. Borrowings also included $71,500,000 and $71,876,000 in long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
The combined short- and long-term weighted-average interest rate on borrowings was 3.77% and 3.39% at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Accrued interest payable and other liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $21,000 during the first six months of 2004 and represents fluctuations that would be considered normal recurring operating transactions. Accrued interest payable decreased $167,000 while other liabilities and accrued expenses increased $146,000.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Management of interest rate risk and market risk analysis
The Company is subject to the interest rate risks inherent in our lending, investing and financing activities. Fluctuations of interest rates will impact interest income and interest expense along with affecting market values of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, except for those assets or liabilities with a short term remaining to maturity. Interest rate risk management is an integral part of the asset/liability management process. The Company has instituted certain procedures and policy guidelines to manage the interest rate risk position. Those internal policies enable the Company to react to changes in market rates to protect net interest income from significant fluctuations. The primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income along with creating an asset/liability structure that maximizes earnings.
Asset/Liability Management: One major objective of the Company when managing the rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities is to stabilize net interest income. The management of and authority to assume interest rate risk is the responsibility of the Companys Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which is comprised of senior management and Board members. ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities. The process to review interest rate risk management is a regular part of management of the Company. Consistent policies and practices of measuring and reporting interest rate risk exposure, particularly regarding the treatment of non-contractual assets and liabilities, are in effect. In addition, there is an annual process to review the interest rate risk policy with the Board of Directors which includes limits on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk Measurement: Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary measures: static gap analysis, earnings at risk simulation and economic value at risk simulation. While each of the interest rate risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company and the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.
Static Gap: The ratio between assets and liabilities repricing in specific time intervals is referred to as an interest rate sensitivity gap. Interest rate sensitivity gaps can be managed to take advantage of the slope of the yield curve as well as forecasted changes in the level of interest rate changes.
To manage this interest rate sensitivity position, an asset/liability model called cumulative gap analysis is used to monitor the difference in the volume of the Companys interest sensitive assets and liabilities that mature or reprice within given periods. A positive gap (asset sensitive) indicates that more assets reprice during a given period compared to liabilities, while a negative gap (liability sensitive) has the opposite effect. The Company employs computerized net interest income simulation modeling to assist in quantifying interest rate risk exposure. This process measures and quantifies the impact on net interest income through varying interest rate changes and balance sheet compositions. The use of this model assists the ALCO to gauge the effects of the interest rate changes on interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to determine what impact these rate changes will have upon the net interest spread.
At June 30, 2004, the Company maintained a one-year cumulative positive gap of $38,054 or 7.04% of total assets. The effect of this gap position provided a positive mismatch of assets and liabilities, which may expose the Bank to an increased interest rate risk position during a period of declining interest rates. Conversely, in an increasing interest rate environment, net income could be positively affected because more assets will reprice during a one-year period.

Investments and loans are included in the earlier of the period in which interest rates were next scheduled to adjust or the period in which they are due. In addition, loans were included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled amortization. For amortizing loans and mortgage-backed securities, annual prepayment rates are assumed reflecting historical experience as well as managements knowledge of and experience with loan products.
The Banks demand and savings accounts were generally subject to immediate withdrawal. However, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be core accounts having significantly longer effective maturities based on the retention experiences of such deposits in changing interest rate environments. The effective maturities presented are the recommended maturity distribution limits for non-maturing deposits based on historical deposit studies.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above table. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. The ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
Earnings at Risk and Economic Value at Risk Simulations: The Company recognizes that more sophisticated tools exist for measuring the interest rate risk in the balance sheet beyond static gap analysis. Although it will continue to measure its static gap position, the Company utilizes additional modeling for identifying and measuring the interest rate risk in the overall balance sheet. The ALCO is responsible for focusing on earnings at risk and economic value at risk, and how both relate to the risk-based capital position when analyzing the interest rate risk.
Earnings at Risk: Earnings at risk simulation measure the change in net interest income and net income should interest rates rise and fall. The simulation recognizes that not all assets and liabilities reprice on a one-for-one basis with market rates (e.g., savings rate). The ALCO looks at earnings at risk to determine income changes from a base case scenario under an increase and decrease of 200 basis points in interest rates simulation model.
Economic Value at Risk: Earnings at risk simulation measure the short-term risk in the balance sheet. Economic value (or portfolio equity) at risk measures the long-term risk by finding the net present value of the future cash flows from the Companys existing assets and liabilities. The ALCO examines this ratio quarterly utilizing an increase and decrease of 200 basis points in interest rates simulation model. The ALCO recognizes that, in some instances, this ratio may contradict the earnings at risk ratio.
25
The following table illustrates the simulated impact of 200 basis points upward or downward movement in interest rates on net interest income, net income, and the change in economic value (portfolio equity). This analysis assumed that interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2004 remained constant. The impact of the rate movements was developed by simulating the effect of rates changing over a twelve-month period from the June 30, 2004 levels:

Economic value has the most meaning when viewed within the context of risk-based capital. Therefore, the economic value may change beyond the Companys policy guideline for a short period of time as long as the risk-based capital ratio, after adjusting for the excess equity exposure, is greater than 10%.

Simulation models require assumptions about certain categories of assets and liabilities. The models schedule existing assets and liabilities by their contractual maturity, estimated likely call date, or earliest repricing opportunity. Mortgage-backed securities and amortizing loans are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow including estimated prepayments. For investment securities, we use a third party service to provide cash flow estimates in the various rate environments. Savings accounts, including passbook, statement savings, money market, and interest checking accounts, do not have a stated maturity or repricing term and can be withdrawn or reprice at any time. This may impact the margin if more expensive alternative sources of deposits are required to fund loans or deposit runoff. Management projects the repricing characteristics of these accounts based on historical performance and assumptions that it believes reflect their rate sensitivity. The consulting model reinvests all maturities, repayments and prepayments for each type of asset or liability into the same product for a new like term then applies growth or run-off estimates provided by management. As a result, the mix of interest-earning assets and interest bearing-liabilities is not held constant.
Liquidity
Liquidity management ensures that adequate funds will be available to meet customers needs for borrowings, deposit withdrawals and maturities and normal operating expenses of the Bank. Current sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, asset maturities and pay downs within one year, loans and investments available-for-sale, growth of core deposits, growth of repurchase agreements, increase of other borrowed funds from correspondent banks and issuance of capital stock. In addition, the Banks other sources of liquidity are borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Although regularly scheduled investment and loan payments are dependable sources of daily funds, the sale of loans and investment securities
26
available-for-sale, deposit activity, and investment and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general economic conditions and the level of interest rates.
At June 30, 2004, the Company maintained $12.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Company had $1.3 million of loans available-for-sale and $123.0 million in investments available-for-sale. This combined total of $136.3 million represented 25% of total assets at June 30, 2004. Management believes that the present level of liquidity adequate for current operations.
Capital
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Companys capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Capital is fundamental to support our continued growth. In addition, the Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Regulatory capital is defined in terms of Tier 1 capital (shareholders equity plus the allowable portion of the minority interest in equity of subsidiaries, minus unrealized gains or plus unrealized losses on available for sale securities, and minus certain intangible assets), Tier 2 capital (which includes the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses, minority interest in equity of subsidiaries and subordinated debt), and total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2). Risk-based capital ratios are expressed as percentages of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning various weights to all assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as letters of credit and loan commitments, based on associated risk. Regulators have also adopted minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio standards, which measure the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average quarterly assets.
Quantitative measures, established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets. Capital is evaluated in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. As of June 30, 2004, the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Both the Companys and the Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are presented.
