REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
First
National Community Bancorp, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First National Community
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of First National Community
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three-years in the
period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also
have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), First National Community Bancorp, Inc.’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 10, 2010 expressed an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements:
1. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The
accounting and reporting policies that affect the more significant elements of
First National Community Bancorp, Inc.’s (the “company”) financial statements
are summarized below. They have been followed on a consistent basis
and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and conform
to general practice within the banking industry.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has codified previous issued
standards into Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).
NATURE
OF OPERATIONS
The
company is a registered financial holding company, incorporated under the laws
of the state of Pennsylvania. It is the parent company of First
National Community Bank (the “bank”) and it’s wholly owned subsidiaries FNCB
Realty, Inc. and FNCB Realty LLC II.
The bank
provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers
through its twenty-one banking locations located in northeastern Pennsylvania.
It provides a full range of commercial banking services which includes
commercial, residential and consumer lending. Additionally, the bank
provides to it's customers a variety of deposit products, including demand
checking and interest-bearing deposit accounts.
FNCB
Realty, Inc. and FNCB Realty LLC II’s operating activities include the
acquisition, holding, and disposition of certain real estate acquired in
satisfaction of loan commitments owed by third party debtors to the
bank.
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First National
Community Bancorp, Inc., the bank and it’s wholly owned subsidiary FNCB Realty,
Inc.
All
significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
During
December 2006 the bank created First National Community Statutory Trust I
(“Issuing Trust”) which is wholly owned by the company. The trust
purpose is to provide an additional funding source for the company through the
issuance of pooled trust preferred securities.
The
company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation
(“FIN”) No. 46 and FIN 46(R), for the issuing trust. Accordingly,
this trust has not been consolidated with the accounts of the
company.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
SECURITIES
Debt
securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discounts using methods approximating the interest
method. Other marketable securities are classified as
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains
and losses on securities available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases
or decreases in stockholders' equity. Cost of securities sold is
recognized using the specific identification method.
Investments
in the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock are carried at cost due to
restrictions on their sale due to regulatory requirements.
OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY
IMPAIRMENT OF SECURITIES
Securities are evaluated on a monthly
basis to determine whether a decline in their value is other than
temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and
duration of the decline and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its
investment in the issues for a period of time sufficient to allow for an
anticipated recovery in fair value, in addition to the reasons underlying the
decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than
temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to
indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a
near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a
lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than carrying
value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be
other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding
charge to earnings is recognized.
LOANS
Loans are
stated at face value, net of unamortized loan fees and costs and the allowance
for credit losses. Interest on all loans is recognized using the
effective interest method in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Loans are
placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or
when management believes that the collection of interest or principal is
doubtful. This is generally when a default of interest or principal has existed
for 90 days or more, unless such loan is fully secured and in the process of
collection. When the interest accrual is discontinued, interest
credited to income in the current year and the accrual of income from prior
years is reversed. Any payments received are applied, first to the
outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan
amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of lost
interest.
MORTGAGE
BANKING ACTIVITIES
When liquidity needs arise, management
may from time to time determine that the mortgage loan portfolio provides a
ready source of liquidity and elect to sell a portion of the loans which are
currently held.
At December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
loans serviced for others totaled approximately $147,563,000, $120,618,000 and
$99,461,000, respectively. Servicing loans for others consists of
collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments
to investors, and processing foreclosures. Loan servicing income is
recorded when earned and includes servicing fees from investors in the amounts
of $331,000, $262,000 and $236,000 at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment
fees. The Company has fiduciary responsibility for related escrow and
custodial funds aggregating approximately $1,998,000 and $1,519,000 at December
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company assesses the retained
interest in the servicing asset or liability associated with the sold loans
based on the relative fair values. The servicing asset or liability
is amortized in proportion to and over the period during which estimated net
servicing income or net servicing loss, as appropriate, will be
received. Assessment of the fair value of the retained interest is
performed on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2009 and 2008
mortgage servicing rights totaling $666,000 and $355,000, respectively, were
included in other assets.
TRANSFERS
OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Transfers of financial assets are
accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been
surrendered. Control is surrendered when (1) the assets have been
isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or
exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective
control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them
before their maturity.
LOANS
HELD FOR SALE
Loans held for sale consist of
residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market and are carried at their estimated fair market value on an instrument by
instrument basis and changes in fair market value are recognized currently in
earnings. Origination fees and costs related to loans held for sale
are recognized as earned or incurred. Loans held for sale are
generally sold with loan servicing rights retained by the
company. Gains recognized on loan sales include the value assigned to
the rights to service the loan.
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, loans
held for sale in the amounts of $442,000 and $834,000, respectively have been
included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
SERVICING
Servicing assets are recognized as
separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of
financial assets. Generally, purchased servicing rights are
capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights. For sales of mortgage
loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the
servicing right based on relative fair value. Fair value is based on
market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or
alternately, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of
estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model
incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future
net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the
custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds
and default rates and losses. Capitalized servicing rights are
reported in other assets and are amortized into non-interest income in
proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income
of the underlying financial assets.
Servicing assets are evaluated for
impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized
cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches
based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and
investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance
for an individual tranche, to the extent that fair value is less than the
capitalized amount for the tranche. If the bank later determines that
all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a
reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to
income.
Servicing fee income is recorded for
fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual
percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are
recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage
servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.
LOAN
IMPAIRMENT
Current
accounting guidance requires that certain impaired loans be measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows, net of disposal costs,
discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. As a
practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on the loan’s observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral, net of disposal costs, if the
loan is collateral dependent. When the measure of the impaired loan
is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded
through a valuation allowance.
ALLOWANCE
FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The
allowance for credit losses is established through provisions for loan losses
charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged
against the allowance for credit losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance.
The
allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value
of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current
economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible
to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans.
The
allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard
or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as
impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or
collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than
the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers
nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for
qualitative factors.
A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting
scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that
experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not
classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of
payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s
prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan
basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the
loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent.
Large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify
individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless
such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
LOAN
FEES
Loan
origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct loan origination
costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the
related loan's yield. The bank is generally amortizing these amounts
over the life of the related loans except for residential mortgage loans, where
the timing and amount of prepayments can be reasonably estimated. For
these mortgage loans, the net deferred fees are amortized over an estimated
average life of 7.5 years. Amortization of deferred loan fees is
discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status.
OTHER
REAL ESTATE (ORE)
Real
estate acquired in satisfaction of a loan and in-substance foreclosures are
reported in other assets. In-substance foreclosures are properties in
which the borrower has little or no equity in collateral, where repayment of the
loan is expected only from the operation or sale of the collateral, and the
borrower either effectively abandons control of the property or the borrower has
retained control of the property but his ability to rebuild equity based on
current financial conditions is considered doubtful. Properties
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and properties classified
as in-substance foreclosures are transferred to ORE and recorded at current
market value, as determined by an independent appraisal or reasonable offer to
purchase, less estimated selling cost for disposal of real
estate. Costs associated with the repair or improvement of the real
estate are capitalized when such costs significantly increase the value of the
asset, otherwise, such costs are expensed. An allowance for losses on
ORE is maintained for subsequent valuation adjustments on a specific property
basis.
BANK
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank
premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Routine maintenance and repair expenditures are
expensed as incurred while significant expenditures are
capitalized. Depreciation expense is determined on the straight-line
method over the following ranges of useful lives:
Buildings
and
improvements 10
to 40 years
Furniture,
fixtures and
equipment 3
to 15 years
Leasehold
improvements
5 to 30 years
GOODWILL
AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets which are subject to
amortization include core deposit premium paid in connection with the bank’s
Honesdale branch acquisition during November 2006; and on mortgage servicing
rights recorded on the bank’s sale of loans in the secondary market where
servicing rights have been retained. Amortization expense associated
with these intangible assets is being provided for using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives of 10 years and 6.3 years,
respectively. Intangible assets subject to amortization are
periodically reviewed by management for potential impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be
recoverable.
Intangible assets which are not subject
to amortization include goodwill. The cost of goodwill arose from the
bank’s Honesdale branch acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed by
management for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the
occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that its carrying amount
exceeds fair value. Management has determined that the carrying value
of goodwill has not been impaired at December 31, 2009.
ADVERTISING
COSTS
Advertising
costs are charged to operations in the year incurred and totaled $713,000,
$988,000 and $890,000 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
INCOME
TAXES
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates
applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes.
The
company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax
return. Under tax sharing agreements, each subsidiary provides for
and settles income taxes with the company as if they would have filed on a
separate return basis.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB ASC 740. ASC 740 specifies
how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and
derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain
tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be
classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period
guidance, among other provisions.
CASH
EQUIVALENTS
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts
due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are
purchased and sold for one-day periods.
NET
INCOME PER SHARE
Basic
earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for
the period. Such shares amounted to 16,169,777 in 2009, 15,862,335 in
2008 and 15,601,377 in 2007.
Diluted
earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by
the weighted-average number of common shares and options outstanding (the
denominator) for the period. Such shares amounted to 16,558,207 in
2009, 16,200,098 in 2008 and 15,931,260 in 2007.
All share and per share information has
been adjusted to reflect the retroactive effect of the 25% stock dividend paid
December 27, 2007 and the 10% stock dividend paid March 31, 2006.
STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
All options granted are accounted for
in the financial statements based on their fair values.
BANK
OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
Bank owned life insurance policies
(BOLI) are carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying
policies. Income on the investments in the policies, net of insurance
costs, is recorded as non-interest income.
The company also has Split Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements with certain executive officers. In 2008,
management decided to change its policy to give post-retirement benefits to
holders of split dollar life insurance arrangements. The company
charged a $56,000 cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings as of January 1, 2008 in accordance with EITF
06-04.
SEGMENT
REPORTING
FASB ASC 28 requires that public
companies report certain information about operating segments in complete sets
of financial statements of the company and in condensed financial statements of
interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires that public
companies report certain information about their products and services, the
geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers.
First National Community Bancorp, Inc.
is a one bank financial holding company operating primarily in northeastern
Pennsylvania. The primary purpose of the company is the delivery of
financial services within its market by means of a branch network located in
Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne and Monroe counties. Each of the company’s
entities is part of the same reporting segment, whose operating results are
regularly reviewed by management. Therefore, consolidated financial
statements, as presented, fairly reflect the operating results of the financial
services segment of our business.
FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENT
FASB ASC
820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements.
ASC 820
established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:
Basis of
Fair Value Measurement
Level
1
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement
date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|
Level
2
|
Quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the
asset or liability;
|
Level
3
|
Prices
or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to
the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or
no market activity).
|
NEW
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-12, Investments in Certain Entities that
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share - In September 2009, this ASU was
issued and permits, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the
fair value of an investment
that is within the scope of the amendments in this ASU on the basis of the net
asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent)
if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a
manner consistent with the measurement principles of
Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date. The ASU also requires
disclosures by major category of investment
about the attributes of investments within the scope of the Update. ASU 2009-12
is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 2009. ASU 2009-12 did not have a material
effect on our financial condition, results of operations,
and disclosures.
ASU No.
2009-05, Measuring Liabilities
at Fair Value codified in “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)
—Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” - In
August 2009, this ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of
liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, a reporting entity is required to
measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that
when estimating a fair value of a liability, a
reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to
other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction
that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the
first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning
after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. ASU 2009-05 did not have a material
effect on our financial condition, results of
operations, and disclosures.
ASU
2009-01 (formerly SFAS No. 168), Topic 105 — Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles - FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - ASU 2009-01 establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of
authoritative U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied
by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources
of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.
ASU 2009-01 was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
Company has made the appropriate changes to GAAP references in our financial
statements.
FASB ASC
810-10 (formerly SFAS No. 167), Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R) - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167 which
amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The
amendments to the consolidation guidance affect all
entities currently within the scope of FIN 46(R), as well as qualifying
special-purpose entities (QSPEs) that are currently excluded from
the scope of FIN 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our
financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
FASB ASC
topic 860 (formerly SFAS No. 166), Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 -
SFAS 166 amends the derecognition accounting and disclosure guidance
relating to SFAS 140. SFAS 166 eliminates the exemption from
consolidation for QSPEs, it also requires a transferor to evaluate all existing
QSPEs to determine whether it must be consolidated in accordance
with SFAS 167. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual
reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on our
financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) 855 (formerly Statement No. 165), Subsequent Events - In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 which establishes general standards of accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC 855 was effective
for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted
the provisions of ASC 855 and this change is reflected in Note 20.
Subsequent Events. ASC 825
(formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments - In
April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825 which requires a public entity to provide
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
in interim financial information. ASC 825 is effective for interim and annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption
of ASC 825 did not have a significant impact on the company's financial
statements.
ASC 320
(formerly FSP FAS 115-2, FAS124-2 and EITF 99-20-2), Recognition and Presentation
of Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment -
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 320 which (i) changes existing
guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to
debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s
management assert it has both the intent and ability to
hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management
assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and
(b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before
recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC 320, declines in
the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their
cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are
reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related
to credit losses. The amount of impairment related to
other factors is recognized in other comprehensive
income. ASC 320 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June
15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of
ASC 320 on April 1, 2009.
Earnings
Per Share (EPS): (formerly FSP EITF 03-6-1), Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Shared-Based Payment Transaction are Participating
Securities - In June 2008, the FASB issued ASC 260 which clarifies that
unvested share-based payment awards with a right to receive nonforfeitable
dividends are participating securities. ASC 260 also provides guidance on how to
allocate earnings to participating securities
and compute EPS using the two-class method. ASC 260 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of ASC
260 did not have a material impact on our EPS
calculation.
ASC 815
(formerly Statement No. 161), Disclosures About Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC
815 which requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for
using derivatives, quantitative
disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related
contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. The
provisions of ASC 815 did not have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
RECLASSIFICATION
OF PRIOR YEAR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements
that conform with the current year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no
impact on net income.
2. RESTRICTED
CASH BALANCES:
The bank
is required to maintain certain average reserve balances as established by the
Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of those reserve balances for the
reserve computation period which included December 31, 2009 was $75,000, which
amount was satisfied through the restriction of vault cash.
In
addition, the bank maintains compensating balances at correspondent banks, most
of which are not required, but are used to offset specific charges for
services. At December 31, 2009, the amount of these balances was
$750,000.
3. SECURITIES:
Securities have been classified in the
consolidated financial statements according to management’s
intent. The carrying amount of securities and their approximate fair
values (in thousands) at December 31 follow:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a monthly basis. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
At
December 31, 2009, the one hundred eighty two debt securities with unrealized
losses have depreciated 19.41% from their amortized cost basis. The
maturities of these securities are guaranteed by either the U.S. Government,
government sponsored agencies, other governments or
corporations. Obligations of state and political subdivisions are
also guaranteed by underlying insurance which further secures the safety of
principal. These unrealized losses relate principally to current
interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an
issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are
issued by the federal government, its agencies, other governments or
corporations; whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred; and the
results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.
The
company does not have the intent to sell these securities and does not
anticipate that it will be necessary to sell these securities before the full
recovery of principal and interest due, which may be at
maturity. Therefore, the company did not consider the carrying value
of these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31,
2009.
The
following table shows the amortized cost and approximate fair value of the
company's debt securities (in thousands) at December 31, 2009 using contracted
maturities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturity
because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without
call or prepayment penalties.

On
December 14, 2006, First National Community Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a
trust formed under Delaware law, that is a subsidiary of the Company, issued
$10,000,000 of trust preferred securities (the “Trust Securities”) at a variable
interest rate of 7.02%, with a scheduled maturity of December 15,
2036. The Company owns all of the common stock of the
Trust. The proceeds from the issue were invested in $10,310,000,
7.02% Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debenture”) issued by the
Company. The interest rate on the Trust Securities and the Debentures
will reset quarterly at a spread of 1.67% above the current 3-month Libor
rate. The average interest rate paid on the debenture was 2.69% in
2009 and 4.97% in 2008. The Debentures, which mature December 15,
2036, are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right to all
indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. Debentures
represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Trust
Securities is deferrable until a period of twenty consecutive quarters has
elapsed. The Company has the option, subject to required regulatory approval of
the Federal Reserve, to prepay the trust securities beginning December 15,
2011. The Company has, under the terms of the Debenture and the
related Indenture, as well as, the other operative corporate documents, agreed
to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Trust’s obligations under the
Debenture.
At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, accrued and unpaid interest associated with these
Debentures amounting to $9,365 and $17,850 has been provided for in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has applied FIN 46 and FIN 46(R) to its investment in the Issuer Trust,
and as such, it has reflected this investment on a deconsolidated
basis. As a result, the junior subordinated debentures issued by the
Issuer Trust, totaling $10,310,000 has been reflected in Borrowed Funds in the
consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 under the caption
“Junior Subordinated Debentures”. The Company records interest
expense on the corresponding debentures in its consolidated statement of
income. The Company also records its common stock investment issued
by First National Community Statutory Trust I in “Other Assets” in its
consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
On
September 1, 2009, the company offered only to Accredited Investors up to
$25,000,000 principal amount of unsecured Subordinated Notes Due 2019 at a fixed
interest rate of 9% per annum (the “Notes”) in denominations of $100,000 and
integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. The Notes mature on
September 1, 2019. For the first five years from issuance, the
company will pay interest only on the Notes. Commencing September 1,
2015, the company will pay interest and a portion of the principal calculated to
return the entire principal amount of the Notes at maturity. Payments
of interest will be payable to registered holders of the Notes (the
“Noteholders”) quarterly on the first of every third month beginning on December
1, 2009. Payments of principal will be payable to the Noteholders
annually beginning on September 1, 2015. At December 31, 2009, the
principal balance outstanding for these notes was $23,100,000.

At
December 31, 2009, the company has recognized $2,122,000 of refundable federal
income taxes associated with its net operating loss incurred in
2009.
First
National Community Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries have adopted FASB ASC 740
effective January 1, 2007. The Company has identified its federal consolidated
tax return as a “major” taxing jurisdiction as defined under ASC
740. At December 31, 2009, the company has evaluated its tax filings
with this major tax jurisdiction for the calendar years 2006 through 2009. These
years remain open and can be subjected to an examination. Based on its
evaluation, the Company believes that its income tax filing positions and
deductions would be sustained under examination; and does not anticipate any
adjustments would result in a material change in its financial position.
Therefore, no allowances for uncertain income tax positions, including interest
and penalties, were required to be recorded at December 31, 2009 pursuant to ASC
740.
12. RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, certain officers and directors and/or their

December 31, 2009 and 2008. The bank was also committed under standby
letters of credit as described in Note 13.
Certain
officers and directors and/or their affiliates purchased subordinated notes
(“Notes”) from the company in a private placement offering. The total
purchased amounted to $11 million. During 2009, the Company has paid

(b) Financial
Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk:
The bank is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. Such financial instruments
include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit which involve
varying degrees of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the balance sheet. The bank's exposure to credit
loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments.
Financial instruments whose contract
amounts represent credit risk at December 31 are as follows (in
thousands):

Commitments to extend credit are
agreements to lend to customers in accordance with contractual
provisions. These commitments usually are for specific periods or
contain termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The
total amounts of unused commitments do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements, in that commitments often expire without being drawn
upon.
Letters of credit and financial
guarantees are agreements whereby the company guarantees the performance of a
customer to a third party. Collateral may be required to support
letters of credit in accordance with management’s evaluation of the
creditworthiness of each customer. The credit exposure assumed in
issuing letters of credit is essentially equal to that in other lending
activities.
Outstanding commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit issued to or on behalf of related parties
amounted to $24,213,000 and $1,923,000 and $29,067,000 and $2,002,000 at
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(c) Concentration
of Credit Risk:
Cash Concentrations: The bank
maintains cash balances at several correspondent banks. The aggregate
cash balances represent federal funds sold of $62,175 and $0; and due from bank
accounts in excess of the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation amounting to $0 and $7,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Loan Concentrations: At
December 31, 2009, 17.2% of the bank’s commercial loan portfolio was

all of these loans are secured by first mortgages on commercial properties
and/or collateral held.

liquidity of the company.
14. STOCK
OPTION PLANS:
On August
30, 2000, the Corporation’s board of directors adopted an Employee Stock
Incentive Plan in which options may be granted to key officers and other
employees of the Corporation. The aggregate number of shares which
may be issued upon exercise of the options under the plan cannot exceed
1,100,000 shares. Options and rights granted under the plan become
exercisable six months after the date the options are awarded and expire ten
years after the award date.
The board
of directors also adopted on August 30, 2000, the Independent Directors Stock
Option Plan for members of the corporation’s board of directors who are not
officers or employees of the corporation or its subsidiaries. The
aggregate number of shares issuable under the plan cannot exceed 550,000 shares
and are exercisable six months from the date the awards are granted and expire
three years after the award date.
In
accordance with current accounting guidance, all options are charged against
income at their fair value. Awards granted under the plans vest
immediately and the entire expense of the award is recognized in the year of
grant. Upon expiration, the cost of the option is reversed and
credited to income.
The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model average assumptions:

15. REGULATORY
MATTERS:
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 possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the company’s financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices must be met. Capital amounts and classification
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the
company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of
total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets
(as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, that the
company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.
As of
December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized the bank as “Well Capitalized” under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized
as “Well Capitalized” the bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution’s category.

16. DISCLOSURES
ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS:
|
Current
accounting pronouncements require annual disclosure of estimated fair value of
on-and off-balance sheet financial instruments.
The
following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each
class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:
Cash
and short-term investments:
Cash and short-term investments include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. For
these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of
fair value.
Securities:
For securities held for investment
purposes, the fair values have been individually determined based on currently
quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
securities.
Loans:
The fair value of loans has been
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the
same remaining maturities.
Deposits:
The fair value of demand deposits,
savings deposits, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity
certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowed
funds:
Rates currently available to the bank
for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair
value of existing debt.
Commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit:
The fair value of commitments is
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan
commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of
interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of
credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the
estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the
counterparties at the reporting date.
The estimated fair values of the
company's financial instruments (in thousands) are as follows:

As of
December 31, 2009, the company owned $30,173,000 collateralized debt obligation
securities that are backed by trust preferred securities issued by banks,
thrifts, and insurance companies (TRUP CDOs). The market for these
securities at December 31, 2009 is not active and markets for similar securities
are also not active. The inactivity was evidenced first by a
significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets in which TRUP
CDOs trade and then by a significant decrease in the volume of trades relative
to historical levels. The new issue market is also inactive as no new
TRUP CDOs have been issued since 2007. There are currently very few
market participants who are willing and or able to transact for these
securities.
The market values for these securities
(and any securities other than those issued or guaranteed by the US Treasury)
are very depressed relative to historical levels. For example, the
yield spreads for the broad market of investment grade and high yield corporate
bonds reached all time wide levels versus Treasuries at the end of November 2008
and remain near those levels today. Thus in today's market, a low
market price for a particular bond may only provide evidence of stress in the
credit markets in general versus being an indicator of credit problems with a
particular issuer.
Given conditions in the debt markets
today and the absence of observable transactions in the secondary and new issue
markets, we determined:
·
|
The
few observable transactions and market quotations that are available are
not reliable for purposes of determining fair value at December 31,
2009
|
·
|
An
income valuation approach technique (present value technique) that
maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of
unobservable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair value
than the market approach valuation technique used at prior measurement
dates and
|
·
|
Our
TRUP CDOs are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
because we determined that significant adjustments are required to
determine fair value at the measurement
date.
|
Our TRUP
CDO valuations were prepared by Moody's Analytics, an independent third
party. Their approach to determining fair value involved these
steps:
1.
|
The
credit quality of the collateral is estimated using average probability of
default values for each issuer (adjusted for rating
levels)
|
2.
|
The
default probabilities also considered the potential for correlation among
issuers within the same industry (e.g. banks with other
banks)
|
3.
|
The
loss given default was assumed to be 95% (i.e. a 5%
recovery)
|
4.
|
The
cash flows were forecast for the underlying collateral and applied to each
CDO tranche to determine the resulting distribution among the
securities
|
5.
|
The
expected cash flows were discounted to calculate the present value of the
security
|
6.
|
The
calculations were modeled in several thousand scenarios using a Monte
Carlo engine and the average price was used for valuation
purposes
|
7.
|
Moody's
Analytics used 3-month LIBOR (USD) plus 200 basis points as a discount
rate for this analysis. The discount rate used is highly
dependent upon the credit quality of the collateral, the relative position
of the tranche in the capital structure of the CDO and the prepayment
assumptions.
|
As of
December 31, 2009, an unrealized loss of $19,354,000 was recognized in
accordance with FASB ASC 320 on TRUP CDOs utilizing the above mentioned
methodology.
