COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2012

Note 1    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA (the Bank) and Ridge Properties, Inc. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  However, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2011, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2012 and the results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications
Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.  Such classifications had no effect on consolidated net income or changes in shareholders’ equity.

Note 2   Allowance for Loan Loss
 
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans.  The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable is charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely.  Non-residential consumer loans are generally charged off no later than 90 days past due on a contractual basis, earlier in the event of Bankruptcy, or if there is an amount deemed uncollectible.  Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.

The following discusses key risk within each portfolio segment:
 
Commercial, industrial and other financing – these loans are made to operating companies or manufacturers for the purpose of production, operating capacity, accounts receivable, inventory or equipment financing. Cash flow from the operations of the company is the primary source of repayment for these loans. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the industry of the company. Collateral for these types of loans often do not have sufficient value in a distressed or liquidation scenario to satisfy the outstanding debt.
 
Commercial real estate – These loans are secured by commercial purpose real estate, including both owner occupied properties and investment properties for various purposes such as strip malls and apartment buildings. Individual projects as well as global cash flows are the primary sources of repayment for these loans. The condition of the local economy is an important indicator of risk, but there are also more specific risks depending on the collateral type as well as the business prospects of the lessee, if the project is not owner occupied.
 
Residential mortgages – These are loans secured by 1-4 family residences, including purchase money mortgages. We currently originate fixed-rate, fully amortizing mortgage loans with maturities of 15 to 30 years.  The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the local economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The state of the local housing market can also have a significant impact on this portfolio, since low demand and/or declining home values can limit the ability of borrowers to sell a property and satisfy the debt.
 
 
 
8

 
 
Loans to individuals – Loans made to individuals may be secured by junior lien positions on a borrower’s primary residence or other assets of the borrower, as well as unsecured loans. This segment includes home equity loans, auto loans, and secured or unsecured lines.  The primary source of repayment for these loans is the income and assets of the borrower. The condition of the local economy, in particular the unemployment rate, is an important indicator of risk for this segment. The value of the collateral, if there is any, is less likely to be a source of repayment due to less certain collateral values.
 
An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Corporation’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral.
 
For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.
 
For commercial and industrial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets.
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual residential mortgage loans and loans to individuals for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a troubled debt restructuring agreement.
 
Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Corporation grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Non-accrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for twelve consecutive months after modification.   Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired.
 
The allowance for loan loss calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for commercial loans.  Such evaluations for commercial and consumer loans are also made when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments.  Credit quality risk ratings include categories of “pass,” “special mention,” “substandard” and “doubtful.” Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk, warrant classification as pass.  Assets that are not classified as pass and possess weaknesses are required to be designated “special mention.”  If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects.  An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.   “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.   Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”   In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Past due loans are reviewed on a monthly basis to identify loans for non-accrual status.  The Corporation places a loan on non-accrual status and discontinues interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest recognized in the current year is reversed and interest accrued in prior years is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest have been paid and the ultimate collectability of the remaining principal and interest is reasonably assured.

The Corporation has adopted ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether A Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The Corporation has determined that as of and for the periods ending March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no loans considered as a troubled debt restructures.

The Corporation reviews its position quarterly to determine if there is Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on any of its securities.   All of the Corporation’s securities are debt securities and we assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis.  The Corporation monitors the credit ratings of all securities for downgrades as well as any other indication of OTTI condition.  As of March 31, 2012, no securities were in an unrealized loss position.
  
The Corporation sold taxable municipals with a fair market value of $52.0 million and tax-free municipals with a fair market value of $8.1 million.  These municipal bonds sales resulted in a $3.2 million (pre-tax) gain. This action was based on several factors.  The main factor was a strategic decision to decrease the Corporation’s market risk by reducing the average maturity of the bond portfolio.  In addition, the Corporation determined the potential future credit risk associated with municipal bonds should be reduced. These municipal bond sales provide the Corporation with additional liquidity and flexibility going forward.

Note 4   Comprehensive Income

Note 5   Legal Proceedings

Other than proceedings which occur in the normal course of business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is a party, which, in the opinion of management, will have any material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Note 6   Guarantees

The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to secure the performance of a customer to a third party. Of these letters of credit, $329,000 automatically renews within the next twelve months. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2012 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 7   Earnings per share

The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share equals net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during each period presented. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 2,860,953.

Note 8   New Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. However, some could change how the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820 is applied. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operation.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the Statements of Changes to Stockholders’ Equity and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include components of net income, which is consistent with the income statement format used today, and the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Guidance must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operation.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends the guidance on testing goodwill impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e. step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operation.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05. In response to concerns regarding the operational ramifications of the presentation requirements for reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income for current and previous years, the FASB has deferred the implementation date of this provision in ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to allow time for further consideration. The requirement in ASU 2011-05 for the presentation of a combined statement of comprehensive income or separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income is still effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 for public companies. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operation.
 
Note 9   Restricted Investment in Bank Stock
     
Federal law requires the Bank, a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) according to a predetermined formula.  This restricted stock is carried at cost, and as of March 31, 2012, consists of the common stock of FHLB of Pittsburgh.
 
The Corporation evaluates impairment in FHLB stock when certain conditions warrant further consideration. After evaluating such factors as the capital adequacy of the FHLB, its overall operating performance and the FHLB's liquidity and funding position, the Corporation concluded that the par value was ultimately recoverable and no impairment charge was recognized at March 31, 2012.  Our evaluation of the factors described above in future periods could result in the recognition of impairment charges on FHLB stock.
 
Note 10   Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC-820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC-820 are as follows:

Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:  Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (ie., supported with little or no market activity).

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurement by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
 
(Level 1)
Quoted Prices In active Markets For Identical Assets
 
(Level 2)
 
Significant Other Observable Inputs

We may be required to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  The Level 3 disclosures shown below represent the carrying value of loans for which adjustments are primarily based on the appraised value of collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows, which often results in significant management assumptions and input with respect to the determination of fair value.  There were no realized or unrealized gains or losses relating to Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

ASC 825-10-65, Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are as discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

Securities Available for Sale

The Corporation utilizes a third party in determining the fair values for securities held as available for sale.  For the Corporation’s agency mortgage backed securities, the third party utilizes market data, pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information. Methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, descriptive terms and conditions.  The third party uses their own proprietary valuation matrices in determining fair values for municipal bonds.  These matrices utilize comprehensive municipal bond interest rate tables daily to determine market price, movement and yield relationships.
 
Restricted Investments in Bank Stock

The carrying amounts of restricted investments in bank stock approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.

Loans Receivable

Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values.  The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.

Deposits

For deposits which are payable on demand at the reporting date, representing all deposits other than time deposits, management estimated that the carrying value of such deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  Fair values of time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.


Long-Term Borrowings

Fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms and maturity.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Forward-looking statements (statements which are not historical facts) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “to,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to the Corporation, and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update these statements as circumstances change. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, unforeseen credit problems, and the Corporation’s ability to execute its business plans. The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the 2011 Annual Report). Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2011 Annual Report for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing these estimates, including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not the Corporation continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management and Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within.

OVERVIEW

The Corporation had net income of $3.8 million or $1.33 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1.4 million or $0.48 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Corporation’s return on average assets for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 was 3.83% and 1.52%, respectively.  Return on average equity for the same two periods was 27.97% and 11.74%, respectively.

In March 2012, the Corporation sold $49.8 million in book value taxable municipal bonds and $7.4 million in book value tax-free municipal bonds. These municipal bond sales resulted in a $3.2 million pre-tax gain which equated to a $2.1 million earnings benefit (or $0.74 per average share outstanding). This action was based on several factors. The main factor was a strategic decision to decrease the Corporation’s future market exposure by reducing the average maturity of the bond portfolio. In addition, the Corporation determined the potential future credit exposure associated with municipal bonds should be reduced. These municipal bond sales provide the Corporation with enhanced liquidity and flexibility going forward. The Corporation used the proceeds to eliminate all FHLB borrowings with the balance being available for future investment opportunities.

The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is interest earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing deposits. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net interest income was $4.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The Corporation anticipates the ongoing net interest income will be lower based on the March 2012 reduction in investments.

The Corporation’s gain on the sale of municipal bonds in 2012 had a significant positive effect on the Corporation’s March 31, 2012 earnings; the gain on the sale increased the Corporation’s tax rate for the quarter. The March 31, 2012 quarter ending tax rate was 26.87% compared with 15.58% for the first three months of 2011. The Corporation estimates the full year tax rate for 2012 will be in the range of 23-26%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets decreased by $28.0 million or 6.98% from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012.  Investments Available for Sale decreased by $61.6 million or 32.40%. The decrease in investments was mainly due to the sale of $57.2 million in municipal bonds, principal pay-downs on mortgage backed securities of $3.7 million and a $287,000 decrease in the fair value of the securities.  Net loans outstanding decreased by $6.6 million.  The decrease in loans was the result of the following; a decline of $621,000 in commercial, industrial and other loans, a decline of $6.0 million in residential mortgages, a decline of $442,000 in loans to individuals, offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans of $438,000.

The Corporation’s total deposits increased $9.7 million from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012. The non-interest bearing deposits increased by $7.0 million and interest bearing deposits increased $2.7 million. The increases in non-interest bearing deposits continue a trend of customers maintaining higher average balances in their accounts. The increase in the interest bearing deposits was due to increases in money market accounts and savings accounts offset by decreases in certificates of deposit and checking with interest accounts. The decrease in the certificates of deposits was due to the Corporation maintaining a conservative position when pricing certificates of deposit and the decrease in checking with interest is considered a normal change in customers’ accounts.  The Corporation attributes the increase in the savings and money market accounts due to customers placing their funds in liquid, FDIC insured accounts that provide flexibility and safety.

Shareholders' equity was $54.5 million on March 31, 2012 compared to $52.5 million on December 31, 2011. Total shareholders’ equity increased due to the $3.8 million in net income, a $1.0 million decrease in other comprehensive income and a decrease of $744,000 from dividends paid to shareholders.   Book value per common share increased from $18.37 at December 31, 2011 to $19.07 at March 31, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Three Months of 2012 as compared to the First Three Months of 2011

Net income for the first three months of 2012 was $3.8 million compared to $1.4 million for the same period of 2011.

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $4.6 million, compared with $4.4 million for the three months ending March 31, 2011. Loan income decreased $288,000 in 2012. This decrease in loan income is due to average loan balances decreasing 8.10% in 2012 compared with 2011 and lower loan yields. The yield on the loan portfolio for the first three months of 2012 decreased fifteen (15) basis points to 5.51% from 5.66% in 2011. Security income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.1 million compared with $1.7 million in 2011.  This increase in securities income in 2012 was due to higher average securities in 2012 compared with 2011.  The Corporation’s average balance for securities increased $33.3 million in 2012 compared with 2011. Tax-free municipal bonds increased $18.8 million in 2012 compared with 2011 and average taxable securities increased $14.5 million in 2012 compared with 2011.  The increases in the tax-free municipal bonds provided a significant benefit by decreasing the Corporation’s 2012 tax rate on security interest income in 2012.  The yield on total average earning assets for the first three months of 2012 decreased slightly or five (5) basis points to 5.33% in 2012 compared to 5.38% yield in 2011.
 
 
Total interest expense of $358,000 for the first three months of 2012 decreased by $204,000 or 36.29% from the first three months of 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, the average interest-bearing liabilities balances increased 7.67% and the cost of these liabilities decreased significantly to 0.58% in 2012 from 0.98% in 2011.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined due to lower market rates for all deposits in 2012 compared with 2011 and the maturity of a $10.0 million FHLB advance, with a rate of 2.34% on January 2, 2012.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income for the first three months of 2012 was $4.2 million compared to $3.8 million for the first three months of 2011.

The Corporation did not record a provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, or March 31, 2011. The Corporation’s high credit quality and the decrease in loan balances led to the determination that no provision was necessary for the first three months of 2012 or 2011.

Non-interest income for the first three months of 2012 was $3.9 million compared with $694,000 in 2011. The 2012 amount includes a $3.2 million gain from the sale of municipal bonds.  Excluding this gain on the sale of securities, non-interest income was $735,000 in 2012 compared with $694,000 in 2011.  Asset management and trust income decreased by $12,000 due to a decrease in assets under management.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $7,000 and other income increased by $50,000.  Other income increased mainly due to a $48,000 loss on the write-down of other real estate owned properties in 2011.
 

 
 
23

 
 
Non-interest expense for the first three months of 2012 and 2011 was $2.9 million.  Salary and employee benefits increased $69,000 in 2012, mainly due to a $20,000 increase in health care, a $42,000 increase in salaries and a $13,000 increase in payroll taxes.  Net occupancy expenses increased a slight $4,000 in 2012. Furniture and equipment expense for 2012 declined by $18,000  mainly due to a $11,000 decrease in equipment maintenance, a $4,000 decrease in capital lease depreciation and a $4,000 decrease in software amortization.  Legal and professional services decreased $12,000 and FDIC insurance decreased by $39,000, due to a change in the FDIC assessment method implemented by the FDIC. Other expenses increased by $39,000.
 
Federal income tax for the first three months of 2012 was $1.4 million compared to $251,000 for the same period in 2011. The effective tax rates for the first three months of 2012 and 2011 were 26.87% and 15.58%, respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 34% due primarily to income from tax-exempt securities, loans, and bank owned life insurance.   The large increase in the effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2012 is the result of the gain on the sale of municipal bonds, which had been held for less than one year, resulting in a higher tax rate for the first three months of 2012 compared with 2011.  

 
LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash flow requirements of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and securities. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.

The statement of cash flows for the first three months of 2012 indicates cash was provided by the sale and maturity of securities, a decrease in loan balances and an increase in deposits balances. The cash provided by these sources was utilized to pay-down short- and long- term borrowings and significantly increase cash held by the Corporation.

As of March 31, 2012, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $102 million at the FHLB, with an additional $19 million of short-term funding available through other lines of credit.  The Corporation’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) as of March 31, 2012 was $102 million, with zero borrowed.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect off balance sheet arrangements that consist of commitments to purchase securities or commitments to extend credit.  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, which the Corporation obtains from the customer upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer or other obligor.  The types of collateral obtained by the Corporation may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The following table identifies the Corporation’s commitments to extend credit and obligations under letters of credit as of March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of March 31, 2012 with that as of December 31, 2011. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as interest income as long as the remaining balance of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan in non-accrual status, any payments received are applied to principal to the extent the doubt is eliminated. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.

As of March 31, 2012, one of two non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis. At present, the Corporation has no knowledge of other outstanding loans that present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower’s ability to comply with current loan repayment terms.

In 2012, the gross amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans would have been $2,500.  The actual interest reflected in income on these loans was minimal.

MARKET RISK
 
The Corporation’s net earnings depend in large part upon the difference between the amounts earned on its loans and investment securities and the interest paid on its deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities).  The amounts the Corporation earns on its interest-earning assets and the amounts it pays on its interest-bearing liabilities are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of regulatory authorities.
 
 
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.  The Corporation’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, security investments, and deposit taking activities.  To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
 
 
The Corporation’s primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of interest rate changes on its net interest income and capital.  However, a sudden and substantial shift in interest rates may adversely impact the Corporation’s earnings to the extent that the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities do not change at the same frequency, to the same extent or on the same basis.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk.

The leverage ratio was 12.63%.
