Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. 
Nature Of Operations And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

North Penn Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is the holding company for North Penn Bank (Bank).  The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “NPBP.OB.”  The Bank operates from five offices under a state savings bank charter and provides financial services to individuals and corporate customers primarily in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  The Bank’s primary deposit products are savings and demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit.  Its primary lending products are real estate, commercial and consumer loans.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of North Penn Bancorp, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, North Penn Bank and North Penn Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Norpenco, Inc. and North Penn Settlement Services, LLC.  These entities are collectively referred to herein as the Company.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Norpenco, Inc.’s sole activities are purchasing bank stocks and receiving dividends on such stocks. North Penn Settlement Services, LLC receives non-interest income from providing title search work.

The accounting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial information.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  They are not, however, necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations for a full year.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)-Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets has been issued.  ASU 2009-16 will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.  This standard was effective for the Company on October 1, 2010 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ASC 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements has been issued. In January 2010, the FASB amended previous guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and requires a reconciliation to be provided for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and provide an explanation for the transfers. This guidance is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3) a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis rather than a net basis. Disclosures relating to purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will become effective beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 
6

 
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (“Topic 855”): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC registrant to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as this requirement would have potentially conflicted with SEC reporting requirements. Removal of the disclosure requirement is not expected to affect the nature or timing of subsequent events evaluations performed by the Company. This ASU became effective upon issuance.

FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” New authoritative accounting guidance under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables,” clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. This guidance becomes effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period on or after July 15, 2010 with early application permitted. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 310 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

Additional new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20) under ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and non-accrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010.

Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In January 2011, FASB updated ASC Topic 310. “Receivables,” Under the existing effective date in Update 2010-20, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20.
 
In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted.
 
In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (Update)  2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The Update will improve financial reporting by creating greater consistency in the way GAAP is applied for various types of debt restructurings.

 
7

 

The Update clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings.

For public companies, the new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For nonpublic entities, the amendments in the Update are effective for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012, including interim periods within that annual period. Early application is permitted.

Use Of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in the satisfaction of loans.  In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management periodically obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for 2010 have been reclassified to conform to presentations used in the 2011 consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or net income.

2. 
Investment Securities

The Bank’s investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows:

Securities Held-to-Maturity.  Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Securities Available-for-Sale.  Securities available-for-sale consist of bonds, notes, debentures and equity securities not classified to be held-to-maturity and are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income on the straight-line basis over the terms of the securities, which approximates the interest method.  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.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as other income in the statement of income.

The Company invests in various forms of agency debt including mortgage backed securities and callable debt. The mortgage backed securities are issued by FHLMC (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company) of FNMA (Federal National Mortgage Association). The municipal securities consist of general obligations and revenue bonds. The equity securities consist of stocks in other bank holding companies.  The fair market value of the above securities is influenced by market interest rates, prepayment speeds on mortgage securities, bid to offer spreads in the market place and credit premiums for various types of agency debt. These factors change continuously and therefore the market value of these securities may be higher or lower that the Company’s carrying value at any measurement date. Management does not believe any of their 44 securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2011 represent an other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) impairment. The Company has the ability to hold the remaining securities contained in the above table for a time necessary to recover the cost.

An impairment that is an “other-than-temporary-impairment” is a decline in the fair value of an investment below its amortized cost attributable to factors that indicate the decline will not be recovered over the anticipated holding period of the investment. Other-than-temporary-impairments result in reducing the security’s carrying value by the amount of credit loss. The credit component of the OTTI loss is realized through the statement of income and the remainder of the loss remains in other comprehensive income.  

Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320 (SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities). In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions; and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether OTTI exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgement and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to the other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
 
The Company’s investment in equity securities consists entirely of bank stocks.  The unrealized losses are from 40 bank stocks due to market fluctuation.  The Company also reviews investment debt securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of OTTI.

Restricted Securities

Restricted equity securities consist of stock in Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB-Pittsburgh”) and, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) and do not have a readily determinable fair value because their ownership is restricted, and they can be sold back only to the FHLB-Pittsburgh, ACBB, or to another member institution. Therefore, these securities are classified as restricted equity investment securities, carried at cost, and evaluated for impairment. At both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held $998,000 and $1,050,000, respectively in stock of FHLB-Pittsburgh, and $37,000 in stock of ACBB.

At December 31, 2010, the Company evaluated its holding of restricted stock for impairment and deemed the stock to not be impaired due to the expected recoverability of cost, which equals the value reflected within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The decision was based on several items ranging from the estimated true economic losses embedded within FHLB’s mortgage portfolio to the FHLB’s liquidity position and credit rating. The Company utilizes the impairment framework outlined in GAAP to evaluate stock for impairment.

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of any unearned income, deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses.  Interest on mortgage and commercial loans is calculated at the time of payment based on the current outstanding balance of the loan.  Interest on consumer loans is recognized on the simple interest method.

The Bank lends primarily to customers in its local market area.  Most loans are mortgage loans, which include loans secured by commercial and residential real estate and construction loans.  Accordingly, lending activities could be affected by changes in the general economy, the regional economy, or real estate values.

From time to time, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower’s loan. In cases where such modifications represent a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are placed on non-accrual status until the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms of six months. At both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans classified as troubled debt restructurings

4.           Reserve for Loan Losses

The Bank determines the provision for loan losses through a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collection of principal is unlikely.  Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are credited to the allowance when realized.  The allowance for loan losses is the amount that management has determined to be necessary to absorb probable incurred loan losses inherent in the existing portfolio.  Management’s evaluations, which are subject to periodic review by the Bank’s regulators, are made using a consistently applied methodology that takes into consideration such factors as the Company’s past loan loss experience, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and collateral values, and current economic conditions.  Part of management’s review includes risk ratings of commercial loans, and the engagement of an external loan review of all loans over $400,000, insider loans and delinquent loans.  Modifications to the methodology used in the allowance for loan losses evaluation may be necessary in the future based on further deterioration in economic and real estate market conditions, new information obtained regarding known problem loans, regulatory guidelines and examinations, the identification of additional problem loans, and other factors.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover the estimated losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio as of March 31, 2011. Management believes it has established the allowance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and will consider future additions to the allowance that may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowances based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations.
 
Management realizes that general economic trends greatly affect loan losses. The recent downturn in the real estate market has resulted in increased loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and we believe that these trends are likely to continue.  Assurances cannot be made either (1) that further charges to the allowance account will not be significant in relation to the normal activity or (2) that further evaluation of the loan portfolio based on prevailing conditions may not require sizable additions to the allowance and charges to provision expense.

The following table sets forth the period-end balances of and changes in the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The Bank manages asset quality and controls credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to foster sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices.  The Bank’s senior officers are responsible for monitoring asset quality, establishing credit policies and procedures subject to approval by the Board of Directors, ensuring the policies and procedures are followed and adjusting policies as appropriate.

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate held for sale.  Non-performing loans consist of loans where the principal, interest, or both, is 90 or more days past due and loans that have been placed on non-accrual.  Income recognition of interest is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the payment of such interest becomes doubtful.  A loan is generally classified as non-accrual when principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more or because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower such that payment in full of principal or interest is not expected.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are loans that are generally well secured and in the process of collection.  When loans are placed on non-accrual, accruing interest is no longer posted to earnings.  At March 31, 2011, the Bank had $1.9 million in non-accrual loans as compared with $1.3 million at December 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2011, for purposes of accounting and reporting in accordance with FASB ASC 310-40 Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (SFAS 15), the Bank had no significant troubled debt restructurings.  

The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable.  Also, presented are the average recorded investments in the impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time within the periods the loans were impaired

Other Borrowings

The Bank has a line of credit agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for short term borrowings varying from one day to three years.  Advances on this line must be secured by “qualifying collateral” as defined in the agreement and bear interest at fixed or variable rates as determined at the date advances are made.  The line expires in June, 2011.  At March 31, 2011, this line of credit had a zero balance.

The Bank has a $7,000,000 borrowing with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh at a fixed rate of 4.34%, which was issued in July of 2005, and matures in July of 2015.  This loan requires quarterly interest payments, with the principal due at maturity.

6. 
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year, adjusted for unearned shares of the ESOP, as prescribed in FASB – ASC 260-10 Earnings per share SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share.   Diluted earnings per share include common shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock Awards. In May of 2006, the Company's stockholders approved the 2006 Omnibus Stock Option Plan, under which the Company reserved 101,685 shares of common stock for future issuance. The Plan provides for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards. Only present and future employees and directors are eligible to receive incentive awards under the 2006 Omnibus Plan.  The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with its stockholders.

 
18

 

On May 26, 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. The Board of Directors has reserved a total of 119,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards made pursuant to the 2009 Plan.   The Plan provides for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards. All of the Company’s employees, officers, and directors are eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan.

The exercise price and vesting of both plans are determined by the Board of Directors at the date of grant. Options generally vest over five years, and expire ten years after the date of grant. Certain option and stock awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

 Stock Grants. Restricted stock awards are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value is known at the date of grant and fair value over the requisite service period, generally five years. There were no restricted stock awards made for three months ended March 31, 2011.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, restricted stock grants totaling 750 shares were awarded having a fair value of $7,125. The grants vest over five years.

At March 31, 2011, all stock grants and options authorized by the 2006 Omnibus Stock Option Plan and the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan have been awarded.

The following table reflects the activities related to restricted stock awards outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Options. The option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the average price on the last trade date.  The stock options vest and therefore become exercisable on a pro rata basis annually over five years from the date awarded. The options are available to be exercised for a period of ten years after the date awarded.

There were no stock options awarded for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

On March 4, 2010, the Company issued stock options covering 1,500 shares. The option awards were granted with an exercise price equal to the average price on the last trade date.  The stock options vest and therefore become exercisable on a pro rata basis annually over five years from the date awarded, commencing March 4, 2011. The options are available to be exercised for a period of ten years after the date awarded.
The fair value of each option grant was estimated to be $2.74 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants during the applicable period:

The compensation expense recognized for option and restricted stock awards for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $51,000 and $36,000, respectively.

As of March 31, 2011 there was approximately $627,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to options and unvested stock awards. The cost of the options and stock awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of five years.

Guarantees
 
FASB ASC 460-10 Guarantees FIN No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value as a liability at inception and when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable, as those terms are defined in FASB ASC 450 Contingencies SFAS Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (FAS 5) and also requires a guarantor to make significant new disclosures even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote.
 
In September 2006, the Bank executed a Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) Master Commitment (the Commitment) with the FHLBank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) to deliver $10.0 million of mortgage loans and to guarantee the payment of any realized losses that exceed the FHLB’s first loss account for mortgages delivered under the Commitment.  The Bank receives credit enhancement fees from the FHLB for providing this guarantee and continuing to manage the credit risk of the MPF Program mortgage loans.  The term of the Commitment and guarantee per the Master Commitment is through September 25, 2009. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Bank is required to make under the guarantee is $450,000. Under the Commitment, the Bank agrees to service the loans and therefore, is responsible for any necessary foreclosure proceedings.  Any future recoveries on any losses would not be paid by the FHLB under the Commitment.  The Bank has not experienced any losses under these guarantees.

Related-Party Transactions

The Company routinely enters into banking transactions with its directors and officers.  Such transactions are made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and do not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features.  A summary of loans to directors and officers and related parties is as follows for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company participates in the Financial Institution Retirement Fund (the Fund) administered by the Pentegra Group. The Fund operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes under FASB ASC 715 Compensation Retirement Benefits (SFAS) No. 87 Employers’ Accounting for Pensions. As such, the annual pension expense to be recorded is defined as the amount of the required annual contribution.

The Fund covers all employees who have met the stated age and service requirements. A benefit formula provides for retirement benefits that are calculated as a percentage of salary during their working career, as defined. More details can be found in the plan document. In February, 2009, the Bank’s Board of Directors authorized the freezing of benefits within the defined benefit plan as of April 1, 2009.

 For the plan years ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, the required contributions due were $41,000 and $21,000 respectively.

401(k) Plan

The Bank also sponsors a 401(k) Plan (the Plan). The Plan covers all employees who meet age and service requirements. Participants in the Plan are permitted to make contributions up to 20% of their compensation. The Bank matches 100% of contributions up to 6% of the employee’s compensation.

10. 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which, among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

 
21

 

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (FSP) No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4).  The standard, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  Additional guidance is provided on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased.  The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.
 
A list of factors is provided that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.  When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
 
This FSP clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly.  In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly.  The FSP provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly.  A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.  This FSP is effective for the Corporation for interim and annual reporting periods ending June 30, 2009 and after.

 FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observables utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by SFAS No. 157 hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level I:          Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the record date.
 
Level II:        Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.
 
Level III:       Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation
 
Investments available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Other real estate owned is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs, based on the lower of cost or market.
 
The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect in the estimated fair value amounts.

 
22

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instrument is as follows:
 
Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
 
Available-for-sale and held-for-maturity securities:  Fair values for securities are based on bid prices received from securities dealers.  Restricted equity securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Loans:  The fair values of all loans are estimated by the net present value of the future expected cash flows.
 
Deposit liabilities:  The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market deposits is estimated by the net present value of the future expected cash flows.  For certificates of deposit, the discount rates used to reflect the Bank’s current market pricing.  The discount rates for non-maturity deposits are the current book rate of the deposit.
 
Other borrowing:  The fair value of the other borrowing is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar borrowing.
 
Accrued interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
 
Off-balance-sheet instruments:  The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.
 
The following table presents the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of March 31, 2011 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by FASB ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  There were no changes during 2011 in Level III assets.

Pending Acquisition

On December 14, 2010, the Company and Norwood Financial Corp. (“Norwood Financial”), the parent company of Wayne Bank, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Norwood Financial. Concurrent with the merger, it is expected that the Bank will merge with and into Wayne Bank.
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of North Penn common stock will be converted into either the right to receive $19.12 in cash or 0.6829 shares of Norwood Financial common stock. In addition, the elections of the Company’s stockholders will be subject to the requirement that $12,194,000 of the merger consideration (which includes amounts paid in cancellation of existing stock options) be paid in cash and that the remainder be paid in Norwood Financial common stock. All of the Company’s stock options, whether or not vested, will be canceled at the effective time of the merger in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between $19.12 and the exercise price of the stock option.
 
The transaction has received all required regulatory and shareholder approvals.  The merger is currently expected to be completed on May 31, 2011.

Legal and regulatory developments could have an impact on our ability to operate our businesses or our financial condition or results of operations or our competitive position or reputation.  Reputational impacts, in turn, could affect matters such as business generation and retention, our ability to attract and retain management, liquidity and funding. These legal and regulatory developments could include: (a) the unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory and other governmental inquiries; (b) increased litigation risk from recent regulatory and other governmental developments; (c) the results of the regulatory examination process, our failure to satisfy the requirements of agreements with governmental agencies, and regulators’ future use of supervisory and enforcement tools; (d) legislative and regulatory reforms, including changes to laws and regulations involving  financial institutions, tax, pension, and the protection of confidential customer information; and (e) changes in accounting policies and principles.
 
 
·
Our business and operating results are affected by our ability to identify and effectively manage risks inherent in our businesses, including, where appropriate, through the effective use of third-party insurance and capital management and asset/liability techniques.

·
Our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes can have an impact on our ability to respond to customer needs and to meet competitive demands.
 
 
·
Our business and operating results can be affected by widespread natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities, either as a result of the impact on the economy and financial and capital markets generally or on us or on our customers, suppliers or other counterparties specifically.
 
 
·
Recent and future legislation and regulatory actions responding to instability and volatility in the credit market may significantly affect our operations, financial condition and earnings.  Future legislative or regulatory actions could impair our rights against borrowers, result in increased credit losses, and significantly increase our operating expenses.
 
 
·
While the degree of volatility in the financial markets has abated from the levels experienced in 2008 – 2009 uncertainty persists that may adversely affect us and the financial services industry as a whole.   A sluggish economy and high unemployment continue to impact commercial and consumer delinquencies dampening consumer confidence while the high level of mortgage foreclosures continue to press on the real estate markets.  The continued economic pressure on businesses and consumers has affected and will likely further affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are included in the discussion entitled “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, and all amendments thereto, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Statement of Changes in Financial Condition

General. Our total assets increased $1.7 million, or 1.1%, from $163.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $165.7 million at March 31, 2011.  Significant changes in asset totals from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 included an increase of $2.1 million in Federal funds sold, while net loans increased $298,000.  Total liabilities increased $1.4 million or 1.0% to $145.8 million at March 31, 2011 as compared to $144.4 million at December 31, 2010 due to a $1.4 million increase in total deposits.   Stockholders’ equity increased $304,000 or 1.6% to $19.9 million at March 31, 2011 as compared with $19.6 million at December 31, 2010.  The primary reason for the increase in stockholders’ equity was earnings for the period and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due to an increase in the market value of available for sale investment securities.
 
Assets. Our loan portfolio increased a net of $298,000 or 0.2%, since December 31, 2010.  Commercial real estate loans have increased $1.3 million, from $72.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $73.4 million at March 31, 2011. Substantially all of the Company’s commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located in the Bank’s primary market area. Consumer loans decreased $200,000 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $2.0 million at March 31, 2011, as the Bank has chosen not to aggressively pursue that segment of loans. Residential mortgages decreased $626,000 million from December 31, 2010, as demand has slowed.

 
26

 

Investment securities decreased $642,000, or 4.4%, to $13.9 million at March 31, 2011 from $14.6 million at December 31, 2010. We intend to maintain a level of investment securities that is sufficient to maintain pledging and collateralized borrowing requirements while also temporarily deploying excess liquidity.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan loss increased $43,000 during the first quarter of 2011.  For the three month period ending March 31, 2011, charge-offs totaled $2,000. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio and upon management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. The ratio of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.29% at March 31, 2011 and 1.26% at December 31, 2010. We are carefully monitoring credit quality so that we can respond quickly to any deterioration with action to include strong collection efforts and increased allowance for loan loss protection.

While management believes that, based on information currently available, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover losses inherent in its loan portfolio at this time, no assurance can be given that the level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover future possible loan losses incurred by the Bank or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.  Management may in the future increase the level of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans and non-performing loans in the event it increases the level of commercial or consumer lending as a percentage of its total loan portfolio.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Bank to provide additions to the allowance based upon judgments different from management.

Non-Performing Assets.   On loans where the collection of principal or interest payments is doubtful, the accrual of interest income ceases (“non-accrual” loans).  On loans 90 days or more past due as to principal and interest payments, the Company’s policy, with certain limited exceptions, is to discontinue accruing interest.  On occasion, this action may be taken earlier if the financial condition of the borrower raises significant concern with regard to the borrower’s ability to service the debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.  Interest income is not accrued on these loans until the borrowers’ financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt.  Real estate that is acquired as a result of foreclosure is classified as other real estate owned.  Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Costs associated with acquiring and improving a foreclosed property may be capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed fair value less estimated selling costs.  Holding costs are charged to expense.  Gains and losses on the sale of other real estate owned are credited or charged to operations, as incurred.

Non-performing loans totaled $1.9 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2010. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.53% and 1.04% at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Liabilities. Total deposits increased $1.4 million, or 1.1%, to $137.8 million at March 31, 2011 from $136.3 million at December 31, 2010.  The primary reason for the increase in deposits was that NOW accounts and savings accounts increased $1.9 million or 15.9% and $1.2 million or 2.5% respectively, since December 31, 2010. The increase in NOW accounts and savings accounts were partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in time deposits.  The Bank has tried to lessen its dependency on more volatile and rate sensitive certificates of deposit and has focused more on growing core deposits, particularly non-interest-bearing deposits

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $304,000 or 1.6% to $19.9 million at March 31, 2011 as compared with $19.6 million at December 31, 2010.  Net income for the period and improvement in accumulated other comprehensive loss were the primary reasons for the increase.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010

General. The Company’s net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $127,000, a decrease of $95,000 from net income of $222,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary reason for the increase was increased professional fees due to the pending acquisition of North Penn Bancorp by Norwood Financial.  The Company was able to offset increases in non-interest expenses, with an increase in net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on securities and loans, less the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds.

Net Interest Income.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company increased net interest income by $113,000 or 9.1% to $1.4 million as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2010. Interest income on loans decreased $10,000 or 0.6% to $1.7 million over the three months ended March 31, 2011 versus the same period in 2010.  Interest and dividend income on investment securities decreased $75,000 or 36.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 versus the same period in 2010.  The decrease was due to managed run-off in the investment portfolio.

Interest expense decreased $193,000, or 27.0%, from $715,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $522,000 for the same period in 2011.  Interest on deposits decreased $116,000 or 20.8%, from $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $441,000 in 2011 due to substantially lower rates on deposits. Interest on borrowed funds decreased $77,000 or 48.7% from $158,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $81,000 in 2011 due to Company’s redemption of $5,000,000 FHLB debt in July 2010.
 
Provision for Loan Loss. For the three months ending March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for loan loss in the amount of $45,000, compared to $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company had charge-offs of $2,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2011 as opposed to no charge-offs for the same period in 2010. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.29% at March 31, 2011 compared to 1.26% at December 31, 2010.     

Non-Interest Income.   Non-interest income increased $5,000 or 6.9% to $77,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $72,000 for the same period in 2010. The increase in non-interest income for the three months ending March 31, 2011 over the comparable 2010 period was primarily caused by an other-than-temporary impairment charge on two equity securities of $24,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2010.  Service charges and fees decreased $3,000 over the same periods. The primary reason for the decrease was a decline in returned check fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a loss on sale of equity securities of $8,000 and did not record any gains or losses on sale of other real estate or loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the company did report any gains or losses on equity securities, other real estate or loans.

 
28

 

Non-Interest Expense.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, non-interest expense increased $161,000 or 16.1% to $1.2 million as compared with $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The primary reasons for the increase were an $85,000 increase in professional fees due to the pending acquisition of North Penn Bancorp by Norwood Financial.  Salary and employee benefits increased $20,000 due to normal merit increases and higher ESOP compensation due to increased level of the Company’s stock price.

Income taxes. The Bank recorded income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $102,000 as opposed to $56,000 for the same period in 2010.  The primary reason for the increase was the application of Alternative Minimum Tax credits for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, FHLB advances and proceeds from mortgage loan sales.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  The Bank’s regulators require the Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation.

North Penn Bank's capital ratios at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 as well as the required minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes and to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions as defined by the FDIC are summarized as follows:
