EXPLANATORY NOTE
 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q is being filed to reflect the results of restatement due to a misapplication of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles relating to loans acquired as a result of a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transaction. Loans acquired with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality were accounted for under ASC 310-30 Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. For all other loans the entire discount was being accreted into earnings. As accretion of the discount on these loans was being recognized, the Company also recognized a provision for loan losses that corresponded to the credit component of the discount being accreted. Subsequently, the Company determined that this approach was not consistent with GAAP. The Company concluded that such loans are more indicative of those accounted for by analogy to ASC 310-30 due to the fact that the discount recognized for these loans was attributable at least in part to credit quality as well as the Company being unable to identify specific loans within this portfolio for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. As a result, certain reclassifications occurred primarily between the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable, interest income on loans, provision for loan losses and deferred income taxes and tax expense. This also resulted in updating corresponding disclosures under the headings Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

 
Except as set forth above, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in this Form 10-Q to reflect events or developments that have occurred after the date of its original filing. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-Q upon its initial filing have not been revised to reflect events, results, or developments that have occurred or facts that have become known to us after that date (other than as discussed above), and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the initial filing of the Form 10-Q.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
 
             The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  The December 31, 2010 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  For additional information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Polonia Bancorp’s (the “Company”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain recorded amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.  The most significant estimate pertains to the allowance for loan losses.
 
Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements
 
In October, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts .  This ASU addresses the diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral, The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310):  Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 .  The amendments in this Update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the FASB 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 FASB 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.  The adoption of this guidance in not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310):  A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring .  The amendments in this Update provide additional guidance or clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning annual period of adoption.  As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired.  For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
 
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s reporting format.  Such reclassifications did not affect consolidated net income or consolidated stockholders’ equity.
 
Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements

On December 10, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Earthstar Bank (“Earthstar”) in loss-share transactions facilitated by the FDIC. Initially, the Company identified certain loans to be accounted for under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. ASC 310-30 applies to loans acquired with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. ASC 310-30 prohibits carrying over or creating an allowance for loan losses upon initial recognition for loans which fall under the scope of this statement. Loans with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality were accounted for under ASC 310-30. For all other loans the entire discount was being accreted into earnings. As accretion of the discount on these loans was being recognized, the Company also recognized a provision for loan losses that corresponded to the credit component of the discount being accreted. Subsequently, the Company determined that this approach was not consistent with GAAP. The Company concluded that such loans are more indicative of those accounted for by analogy to ASC 310-30 due to the inherent risk in the portfolio, the discount recognized for these loans was attributable at least in part to credit quality, the Company being unable to identify specific loans within this portfolio for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, as well as local economic and real estate conditions that continue to exhibit a long and slow recovery which would add pressure to the ability of creditors to continue to make contractual payments or to realize proceeds from the sale of collateral sufficient to cover debt obligations. As a result, certain reclassifications occurred primarily between the allowance for loan losses and loans receivable, interest income on loans, provision for loan losses and deferred income taxes and tax expense.

The effects of the restatement on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, statement of income, and statement of cash flows as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:

FDIC-Assisted Acquisition
 
During 2010, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Earthstar Bank (“Earthstar”) in loss-share transactions facilitated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Under the loss-share agreements, the Company will share in the losses on assets (loans and other real estate owned) covered under the agreement (referred to as “covered loans” and “non-covered loans purchased”).  

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles prohibits carrying over an allowance for loan losses for impaired loans purchased in the Earthstar FDIC-assisted acquisition. Purchased credit-impaired loans are accounted for in accordance with guidance for certain loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. For evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the Company considered loans on a loan-by-loan basis by primarily focusing on past due status, frequency of late payments, internal loan classification, as well as interviews with current loan officers and collection employees for other evidence that may be indicative of deterioration of credit quality. Once these loans were segregated, the Company evaluated each of these loans on a loan-by-loan basis to determine the probability of collecting all contractually required payments. On the acquisition date, the preliminary estimate of the unpaid principal balance for all loans with specific evidence of credit impairment acquired in the Earthstar acquisition was $3.3 million and the estimated fair value of the loans was $1.6 million. Total contractually required payments on these loans, including interest, at the acquisition date was $4.4 million. However, the Company’s preliminary estimate of expected cash flows was $1.8 million. At such date, the Company established a credit risk related non-accretable discount (a discount representing amounts which are not expected to be collected from the customer or liquidation of collateral) of $2.7 million relating to these impaired loans, reflected in the recorded net fair value. The Bank further estimated the timing and amount of expected cash flows in excess of the estimated fair value and established an accretable discount of $114,448 on the acquisition date relating to these impaired loans.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values become available. The Company deemed it appropriate to analogize the accounting guidance under ASC 310-30 to all other loans since (i) the discount recognized for these loans was attributable at least in part to credit quality, and (ii) the Company was unable to identify specific loans within this portfolio for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. The Company has aggregated all other loans into four loan pools by common risk characteristics, which generally conform to the loan type. The first pool of loans consists primarily of 15 and 20 year loans and lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties within our current market area. Such loans represented approximately 53% of the total loans pooled at March 31, 2011, and have been aggregated into this pool because of the similarities of the underlying products which have combined loan to value ratios of up to 80%. This pool relates primarily to loans originated for the withdrawal of additional equity from an existing home, and to a much lesser extent the purchase or refinance of a home. The second pool of loans consisted primarily of fixed rate, multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans originated within the Company’s market area. These loans are generally secured by apartment buildings, small office buildings and owner-occupied properties and make up approximately 38 percent of the total loans pooled at March 31, 2011. The third pool of loans primarily consisted of secured commercial and industrial loans originated to small business within the Company’s market area. Commercial loans account for approximately 5 percent of the total loans pooled at March 31, 2011. The last pool of loans consisted of consumer loans, which are almost entirely made up of mobile home loans. These loans were generally originated with 20 to 30 year maturities. Such loans total approximately 4 percent of the total loans pooled at March 31, 2011. For each loan pool, the Company has developed individual cash flow expectations and calculates a non-accretable difference and an accretable difference. The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is the nonaccretable difference. The accretable difference on purchased loans is the difference between the expected cash flows and the net present value of expected cash flows (fair value of the loan pool). The accretable difference is accreted into earnings using the level yield method over the term of the loan pool. Over the life of the acquired loan pool, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected on acquired loans with specific evidence of credit deterioration as well as on pools of loans sharing common risk characteristics. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether the present value of its loans has significantly decreased and if so, recognizes a provision for loan loss in its consolidated statement of income. For any significant increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan’s or pool’s remaining life.

The carrying value of loans acquired and accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 was determined by projecting discounted contractual cash flows. The table below presents the components of the acquisition accounting adjustments related to the loans acquired in the Earthstar acquisition accounted for under ASC 310-30 and ASC 310-30 by analogy as of the beginning of the period ended March 31, 2011:

The outstanding balance, including interest, and carrying values of loans acquired were as follows:

Carrying amount, net of allowance  $1,628,157   $30,892,667   $1,647,103   $32,431,100 

 

There has been no allowance for loan losses recorded for acquired loans with or without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. In addition, there has been no allowance for loan losses reversed.

Changes in the accretable yield for acquired loans were as follows for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 (unaudited):

Accretion   (16,240)   (475,799)
Balance at end of period  $98,208   $9,847,038 

The $476,000 recognized as accretion for acquired loans without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality represents the interest income earned on these loans for the three-months ended March 31, 2011. Included in reclassification and other for loans acquired without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality was $39,000 of reclassifications from non-accretable discounts to accretable discounts. The remaining $(383,000) change in the accretable yield represents reductions in contractual interest due to contractual principal prepayments during the period. There was no additional accretion recognized since there was no change in the expected cash flows related to these loans during the period.

S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has developed the following table, which includes the tax effects of the components of other comprehensive income.  Other comprehensive income  consists of net unrealized gains on securities available for sale.

            The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that at March 31, 2011, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe they will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity. There were 23 positions that were temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011 and eight positions that were temporarily impaired at December 31, 2010. The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes or company specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

The Company’s loan portfolio consists predominantly of one-to-four family unit first mortgage loans in the northwest suburban area of metropolitan Philadelphia, primarily in Montgomery and Bucks Counties.  These loans are typically secured by first lien positions on the respective real estate properties and are subject to the Bank’s loan underwriting policies.  In general, the Company’s loan portfolio performance at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is dependent upon the local economic conditions.
 
7. 
Covered Loans

At March 31, 2011 (unaudited), and December 31, 2010, the Company had $31.4 million and $32.8 million (net of fair value adjustments) of covered loans (covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC). Covered loans were recorded at fair value pursuant to acquisition accounting guidelines. Purchased loans acquired in a business combination, including loans purchased in our FDIC-assisted transaction, are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.

Upon acquisition, the Company evaluated whether each acquired loan (regardless of size) was within the scope of ASC 310-30. Purchased credit-impaired loans are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. The carrying value of covered loans acquired with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality was $1.6 million at March 31, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010. There were no significant increases or decreases in the expected cash flows of covered loans between December 10, 2010 (the “acquisition date”) and December 31, 2010, or through March 31, 2011 (unaudited). The fair value of purchased credit-impaired loans, on the acquisition date, was determined primarily based on the fair value of loan collateral.

The carrying value of acquired, covered loans without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality at the time of the acquisition was $29.8 million and $31.2 million at March 31, 2011 (unaudited) and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of loans that were not credit-impaired was determined based on estimates of losses on defaults and other market factors. The Company deemed it appropriate to analogize the accounting guidance under ASC 310-30 to all other loans since (i) the discount recognized for these loans was attributable at least in part to credit quality, and (ii) the Company was unable to identify specific loans within this portfolio for which it was probable at acquisition that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable.

Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values become available.

The components of covered loans by portfolio class as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans, and consumer loans. Historical loss percentages for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. These historical loss percentages are calculated over a three year period for all portfolio segments. Certain qualitative factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage to get the adjusted factor to be applied to nonclassified loans. The following qualitative factors are analyzed for each portfolio segment:

 
·
Levels of and trends in delinquencies
 
·
Trends in volume and terms
 
·
Trends in credit quality ratings
 
·
Changes in management and lending staff
 
·
Economic trends
 
·
Concentrations of credit

These qualitative factors are reviewed each quarter and adjusted based upon relevant changes within the portfolio.  During 2011, the qualitative factors were reviewed and remained unchanged.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Net charge-offs
    2,889       1,350  
Allowance at end of period
  $ 862,639     $ 982,007  
 
The total allowance reflects management's estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $862,639 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at March 31, 2011.

Credit Quality Information

The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades for quarter ended March 31, 2011. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company's internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company's internally assigned grades are as follows:

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. There are three sub-grades within the pass category to further distinguish the loan.

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
 
The following table presents classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

For one-to-four family real estate, home equity, HELOCs, and education and other loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits.  Payment activity is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to determine how loans are performing.  Loans are considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due.  The following table presents recorded investment in the loan classes based on payment activity as of March 31, 2011and December 31, 2010:

Nonaccrual Loans

Multi-family and commercial loans are considered for nonaccrual status upon 90 days delinquency and, one-to-four family loans are considered for nonaccrual status after 120 days.  When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income.

On the following table are the loans on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The balances are presented by class of loans.

Life Insurance and Retirement Plans

The Bank has a Supplemental Life Insurance Plan (the “Plan”) for three officers of the Bank.  The Plan requires the Bank to make annual payments to the beneficiaries upon their death.  In connection with the Plan, the Bank funded life insurance policies with an original investment of $3,085,000 on the lives of those officers.  These life insurance policies currently have a death benefit of $11,975,329.  The cash surrender value of these policies totaled $4,157,636 and $4,140,267 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The Plan provides that death benefits totaling $6.0 million at March 31, 2011, will be paid to their beneficiaries in the event the officers should die.
 
Additionally, the Bank has a Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SRP”) for the Bank’s current and former presidents as well as two senior officers of the Bank.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $1,545,446 and $1,520,087 had been accrued under these SRPs, respectively, and this liability and the related deferred tax assets of $525,452 and $516,830 for the respective periods, are recognized in the financial statements.  The deferred compensation for the current and former president is to be paid for the remainder of their lives commencing with the first year following the termination of employment after completion of required service.  The current president’s payment is based on 60 percent of his final full year annual gross taxable compensation adjusted annually for the change in the consumer price index or 4 percent, whichever is higher.  The former president’s payment is based on 60 percent of his final full year annual gross taxable compensation adjusted annually for the change in the consumer price index.  The deferred compensation for the two senior officers is to be paid at the rate of $50,000 per year for twenty years commencing five years after retirement or age 65, whichever comes first, following the termination of employment.  The Company records periodic accruals for the   cost of providing such benefits by charges to income.  The amount accrued was approximately $54,790 and $38,064 for the three  months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,  respectively.  The accruals change each year based on a discount rate of 6.25 percent used in determining the estimated liability that will be accrued when the employees are eligible for benefits.

Fair Value Measurements
 
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.  The three broad levels defined by GAAP hierarchy are as follows:

Level I:     Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:    Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.  The nature of these assets and liabilities includes 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.
 
 
20

 
 
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.
 
The following table presents the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, by level within the fair value hierarchy.  As required by GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

All of the securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.  For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quoted market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.
 
The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. As of March 31, 2011, all of the financial assets measured at fair value utilized the market approach.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
 
Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.  If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.
 
If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas or stimulation modeling.  As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates that are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument.  In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.
 
As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company.
 
 
22

 
 
The Company employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, FHLB Advances – Short-term, Accrued Interest Payable, and Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.
 
Investment Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity

The fair value of investment securities available for sale and held to maturity is equal to the available quoted market price.  If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.

Net Loans Receivable

The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Where quoted market prices were available, primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

FDIC Indemnification Asset

The indemnification asset represents the present value of the estimated cash payments expected to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets based on the credit adjustment estimated for each covered asset and loss sharing percentages.  These cash flows are discounted at a market-based rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.

Deposits and FHLB Advances – Long-Term

The fair values of certificates of deposit and FHLB advances – long-term are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining maturities.  Demand, savings, and money market deposits are valued at the amount payable on demand as of year-end.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available.  The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure.  The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in the Liquidity and Capital Management section below.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of Polonia MHC, Polonia Bancorp and Polonia Bank.  These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions.  Polonia MHC’s, Polonia Bancorp’s and Polonia Bank’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiary include, but are not limited to the following: the ability to successfully integrate the operations of Earthstar Bank; changes in interest rates; national and regional economic conditions; legislative and regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government; including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in the Company’s market area; changes in real estate market values in the Company’s market area; and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines.  Additionally, other risks and uncertainties are described herein and in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under “Item 1A:  Risk Factors” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which is available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

General

Polonia Bancorp was organized as a federally chartered corporation at the direction of the Bank in January 2007 to become the mid-tier stock holding company for the Bank upon the completion of its reorganization into the mutual holding company form of organization. As a result of the reorganization, Polonia Bancorp’s business activities are the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Polonia Bank and management of the investment of offering proceeds retained from the reorganization. Currently, Polonia Bancorp neither owns or leases any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of Polonia Bank and pays appropriate rental fees, as by required applicable law and regulations. In the future, Polonia Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current plans, arrangements, or understandings, written or oral, to do so.

Polonia Bank operates as a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of deposit products as well as providing residential real estate loans, and to a lesser degree, multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans, home equity loans and consumer loans primarily to individuals, families and small businesses located in Bucks, Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties, Pennsylvania.  The Bank operates from nine full-service locations, including our main office in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania and our branch offices in the city of Philadelphia and Bucks County.

On December 10, 2010, Polonia Bank assumed certain of the deposits and acquired certain assets of Earthstar Bank, a state charted bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver for Earthstar Bank.  We acquired approximately $67 million in assets, including approximately $42 million in loans (comprised primarily of single-family residential and home equity loans (“Single-Family Loans”) and commercial business and commercial real estate loans (“Commercial Loans”)), and approximately $8 million in investments securities.  We also assumed approximately $90 million in deposits.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies.  We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Securities .   Securities are reported at fair value adjusted for premiums and discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their amortized cost, and that are deemed to be other than temporary, will be written down to current market value and included in earnings as realized losses.  Management systematically evaluates securities for other than temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for loan losses .   The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Company’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management through evaluation of the loss exposure on individual non-performing, delinquent and high-dollar loans; review of economic conditions and business trends; historical loss experience and growth and composition of the loan portfolio, as well as other relevant factors.

A quantitative analysis is utilized to support the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes review of historical charge-off rates for loan categories, fluctuations and trends in the amount of classified loans and economic factors. Significant to this analysis are any changes in observable trends that may be occurring relative to loans to assess potential weaknesses   within the credit. Current economic factors and trends in risk ratings are considered in the determination and allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

Income taxes.   The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rates. Deferred income taxes or benefits are based on changes in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which such items are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Total assets at March 31, 2011 were $279.1 million, a decrease of $19.7 million, or 6.6%, from total assets of $298.8 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease in assets resulted primarily from a $46.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a $27.4 million increase in investment securities held to maturity.  Total liabilities at March 31, 2011 were $251.8 million compared to $271.6 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $19.8 million, or 7.3%.  The decrease in liabilities was primarily due to a $22.4 million decrease in deposits, partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in FHLB advances-short-term.  Total stockholders’ equity remained stable at $27.3 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $8.0 million from $54.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $46.0 million, or 85.2%.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was attributable, in part, to the purchase of $29.0 million in investment securities held to maturity and the decrease of $22.4 million in deposits, partially offset by a $5 million increase in FHLB advances – short term.

Investment securities available for sale decreased to $25.7 million from $27.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 6.2%. The decrease in investment securities available for sale was attributable to payments received of $1.6 million.
 
 
25

 
   
Investment securities held to maturity increased to $53.5 million from $26.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $27.4 million, or 104.9%. The increase in investment securities held to maturity was attributable, in part, to the purchase of $29.0 million in mortgaged-backed securities, partially offset by $1.6 million in payments received.

Loans receivable, net, increased $1,985,000 or 0.6%, to $171.5 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $170.5 million at December 31, 2010.  The size of our 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to an increase in loan originations during the quarter. The Bank did not sell any loans during the quarter.

Total deposits decreased to $217.3 million from $239.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $22.4 million, or 9.3%.  The decrease in deposits was attributable, in part, to the outflow of $17.5 million in time deposits, as rates offered on the maturity of time deposits were below rates offered in the marketplace and a $3.3 million decrease in money market accounts.

We utilize borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh to supplement our supply of funds for loans and investments.  The $5.0 million increase in FHLB advances short-term was due to more attractive shorter term funding opportunities available through advances. The proceeds of these borrowings were used to fund the outflow of higher interest earning certificates of deposit which matured during the quarter.

Comparison of Operating Results For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 
General.   We recorded a net loss of $6,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to net income of $216,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The loss for the three months ended March 2011 period was primarily due to higher net interest income, offset by lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense.
 
Net Interest Income.   The following table summarizes changes in interest income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 3.07% for the same period in 2010. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $312,000 to $1.9 million, or 19.3% from $1.6 million during the same period last year.  The primary reasons for the increase in net interest income for the three month period reflects a higher average balance of loans and investment securities primarily related to the acquisition of assets from the former Earthstar Bank, a lower average interest rate paid on money market accounts, savings accounts, time deposits and FHLB advances, partially offset by a lower average yield earned on loans and investment securities.  The average balance of loans increased during the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the increased balance of loan acquired from the former Earthstar Bank, increased loan originations from the same period last year as well as lower loan sales during the current period as compared to last year. Lower interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due to a continuing decline in market interest rates. The increase in the average balance of investment securities during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was due to the purchase of investment securities held to maturity as well as the securities acquired from the former Earthstar Bank.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $26,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a credit provision for loan losses of $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The provisions reflect management’s assessment of lending activities, decreased non-performing loans, levels of current delinquencies and current economic conditions. Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management sufficient to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio which are both probable and reasonably estimable.  Management’s analysis includes consideration of the Company’s historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, the amount of the Company’s classified and criticized assets, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s primary market area, and other factors related to the collectability of the Company’s loan portfolio.

The $307,000 decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a $294,000 and $26,000 decrease in gains on the sale of loans and investments, respectively and a $7,000 decrease in earnings on Bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a $11,000 increase in service fees on deposit accounts.

Total noninterest expense increased $29,000, or 1.4%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the prior year period.  The increase in noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period was primarily the result of a $230,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits related to the acquisition of Earthstar Bank and an $89,000 increase in occupancy and equipment due to the upgrade and conversion of the systems, partially offset by, the decrease in expense related to our investment in a subsidiary set up to manage and dispose of foreclosed property for the prior year period and the decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums.

Income Taxes.     We recorded a tax benefit of $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a tax benefit of $44,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The reduction of tax benefit resulted from the increase in our taxable operating profits.
 
Liquidity and Capital Management

Liquidity Management.   Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.0 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $25.7 million at March 31, 2011. In addition, at March 31, 2011, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $89.2 million from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. On March 31, 2011, we had $31.5 million of borrowings outstanding. Any growth of our loan portfolio may require us to borrow additional funds.
 
At March 31, 2011, we had $2.7 million in mortgage loan commitments outstanding and $36,000 in a standby letter of credit.  Time deposits due within one year of March 31, 2011 totaled $74.6 million, or 66.4% of time deposits.  If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other time deposits and borrowings.  Depending on   market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the time deposits due on or before March 31, 2012.  We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our time deposits will remain with us.  We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
 
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities.  Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.  We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships.  Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.
 
The Company is a separate entity and apart from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $8.0 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $54.0 million as of December 31, 2010.  Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were obtained from proceeds it retained from the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion completed in January 2007.  In addition to its operating expenses, Company may utilize its cash position for the payment of dividends or to repurchase common stock, subject to applicable restrictions.
 
The Company can receive dividends from the Bank.  Payment of such dividends to the Company by the Bank is limited under federal law.  The amount that can be paid in any calendar year, without prior regulatory approval, cannot exceed the retained net earnings (as defined) for the year plus the preceding two calendar years.  The Company believes that such restriction will not have an impact on the Company’s ability to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

Capital Management.   We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure.  The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.  At March 31, 2011, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements.  We are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements .   In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”).  Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(e) that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
