BRYN MAWR BANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2009 and 2008

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s (the “Corporation”) Management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been included. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of The Bryn Mawr Trust Company’s (the “Bank”) financial condition and results of operations.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Statements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board are noted in these statements by the abbreviation “FAS”. Staff Accounting Bulletins of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are noted by the abbreviation “SAB”.

2. Earnings Per Common Share:

The Corporation follows the provisions of FAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“FAS 128”). Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution, computed pursuant to the treasury stock method that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common stock. The effects of stock options are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. All weighted average shares, actual shares and per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of stock dividends and splits.

     753,764      375,922

3. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for loan and lease losses charged as an expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses when Management believes that such amounts are uncollectible. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that Management believes is sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Note 1, – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan and lease losses, included in the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10K contains additional information relative to Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.

4. Stock Based Compensation

The Corporation follows the accounting procedures prescribed by FAS 123R—“Share Based Payment” (“FAS123R”), which accounts for stock-based awards exchanged for employee services. Accordingly, stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the vesting period.

 

7


Table of Contents

FAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, be recognized as compensation cost in the statement of income at their fair value. The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The assumptions necessary for the calculation of the fair value are expected life of options, annual volatility of stock price, risk free interest rate and annual dividend yield.

When FAS 123R was initially adopted, the Corporation chose the modified prospective application method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based upon the requirements of FAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date, and (b) based on the requirements of FAS 123 for all awards granted prior to the effective date of FAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.

5. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

The Corporation sponsors two pension plans, the qualified defined benefit pension plan (“QDBP”) and the non-qualified defined benefit pension plan (“SERP”), and a post-retirement benefit plan (“PRBP”).

On February 12, 2008, the Corporation amended the QDBP to cease further accruals of benefits effective March 31, 2008, and amended the 401(K) Plan to provide for a new class of immediately vested discretionary, non-matching employer contributions effective April 1, 2008. Additionally, the Corporation amended the SERP to expand the class of eligible participants to include certain officers of the Bank and to provide that each participant’s accrued benefit shall be reduced by the actuarially equivalent value of the immediately vested discretionary, non-matching employer contribution to the 401(K) Plan made on his or her behalf.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the components of the net periodic benefits cost for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

6. Segment Information

FAS No. 131, “Segment Reporting” (“FAS 131”), identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Corporation has applied the aggregation criterion set forth in FAS 131 to the results of its operations.

The Corporation has identified four “segments” as defined by FAS 131 as follows: Banking, Wealth Management, Mortgage Banking and All Other. Footnote 23 – Segment Information, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10K provides additional descriptions of the identified segments.

The opening has expanded the Corporation’s footprint into an attractive geographic market and further diversifies our products and client base into the affluent market targets.

7. Mortgage Servicing Rights

The following summarizes the Corporation’s activity related to mortgage servicing rights (“MSR’s”) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

 

(dollars in thousands)

   2009     2008  

Balance, January 1

   $ 2,205     $ 2,820  

Additions

     901       140

Fair Value

   $ 2,871     $ 3,318  
                

At March 31, 2009, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of MSR’s to immediate 10 and 20 percent adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:

Table of Contents

These assumptions and sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSR’s is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which could magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

8. Impaired Loans and Leases

9. Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The goodwill and intangible balances presented below resulted from the acquisition of Lau Associates in the third quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, the Corporation paid $195 thousand based on the terms of the acquisition agreement related to the 2008 contingent payment. This payment was recorded as goodwill. For further information on the acquisition of Lau Associates, please refer to Footnote 2 in the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles were as follows:

 

(dollars in thousands)

   Goodwill    Intangibles

   $ 4,629    $ 5,729  

2008 Earn-out adjustment

Balance March 31, 2009

   $ 4,824    $ 5,652  
               

Management performed the annual review of goodwill and identifiable intangibles at December 31, 2008 in accordance with FAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and FAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Management determined there was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

10. Capital

The Corporation declared and paid a regular dividend of $ 0.14 per share, during the first quarter of 2009 payable March 1, 2009 to shareholders of record as of February 9, 2009. This payment totaled $1.2 million. The Corporation’s Board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable June 1, 2009 to shareholders of record as of May 7, 2009. For further information on the Corporation’s capital, please refer to Subsequent Events in Note 15.

11. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Corporation adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) effective on January 1, 2007. As required by FIN 48, which clarifies FAS 109, the Corporation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the Corporation would be more likely than not to sustain the position following an examination. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. At January 1, 2007, the Corporation applied these criteria to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. There were no adjustments to retained earnings for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the implementation of FIN 48 at adoption during 2007.

The Corporation is subject to income taxes in the United States federal jurisdiction and multiple state jurisdictions. The Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examination by taxing authorities for years before 2006.

 

13


Table of Contents

The Corporation’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. No interest or penalties were accrued in the first quarter of 2009. There were no significant FIN 48 liabilities accrued during 2008 or in the first quarter of 2009.

12. Fair Value Measurement

The following disclosures are made in conjunction with the application of FAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”).

FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of data inputs for fair value determinations, under which the Corporation is required to value each asset using assumptions that market participants would utilize to value that asset. When the Corporation uses its own assumptions it is required to disclose additional information about the assumptions used and the effect of the measurement on earnings or the net change in assets for the period.

The value of the Corporation’s investment securities which generally includes state and municipal securities, U.S. government agencies and mortgage backed securities are reported at fair value. These securities are valued by an independent third party. The third party’s evaluations are based on market data. They utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. For securities that do not trade on a daily basis their pricing applications apply available information such as benchmarking and matrix pricing. The market inputs normally sought in the evaluation of securities include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes (only obtained from market makers or broker/dealers recognized as market participants), issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bid, offers and reference data. For certain securities, additional inputs may be used or some market inputs may not be applicable. Inputs are prioritized differently on any given day based on market conditions.

U.S. Government agencies are evaluated and priced using multi-dimensional relational models and option adjusted spreads. State and municipal securities are evaluated on a series of matrices including reported trades and material event notices. Mortgage backed securities are evaluated using matrix correlation to treasury or floating index benchmarks, prepayment speeds, monthly payment information and other benchmarks. Other investments are evaluated using a broker-quote based application, including quotes from issuers.

These investment securities are classified as available for sale.

The value of the investment portfolio is determined using three broad levels of inputs:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risks or liquidity associated with these investments. The following table summarizes the assets at March 31, 2009 that are recognized on the Corporation’s balance sheet using fair value measurement determined based on the differing levels of input.

Other Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Property:

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of properties acquired as a result of deed in-lieu-of foreclosure and foreclosures. Properties or other assets are classified as OREO and are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Costs relating to the development or improvement of assets are capitalized, and costs relating to holding the property are charged to expense. The Corporation did not have any such assets as of December 31, 2008.

13. BOLI

On August 13, 2008, the Corporation gave notice to its BOLI insurance carrier that it was surrendering its separate account BOLI insurance contract. The Corporation received $15.6 million cash on February 9, 2009 which has been recorded as a receivable on the December 31, 2008 balance sheet. For the next 5 years the Corporation must send a quarterly certification letter stating that no BOLI contract was entered into for any of the individuals previously covered.

14. New Accounting Pronouncements

FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP-FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1, “Interim Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP-FAS107-1 amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. All publicly traded companies are required to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. FAS 107-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this statement only if it also elects to early adopt FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, and FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”, which are both discussed in the next two paragraphs. The Corporation did not early adopt this statement as of March 31, 2009 and does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its results of operations, if any. The Corporation will make the required disclosures in the second quarter 2009 Form 10-Q.

FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP-FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments”. FSP-FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities. FSP-FAS 115-2 and 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. If any entity elects to early adopt FSP-FAS 157-4, the entity must also early adopt FSP-FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The Corporation did not early adopt this statement as of March 31, 2009. Since the Corporation has not had any other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2009, no cumulative-effect adjustments will be required to be recorded at adoption.

FAS 157-4

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP-FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly.” This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FAS-FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. If a reporting entity elects to early adopt either FSP-FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 or FSP-FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, the reporting entity must also early adopt this FSP. The Corporation did not early adopt this statement as of March 31, 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact the FSP will have on the results of operations, if any.

FAS 142-3

In April 2008, FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP FAS 142-3 removes the requirement of FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) for an entity to consider, when determining the useful life of an acquired intangible asset, whether the intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the existing terms and conditions associated with the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 replaces the previous useful-life assessment criteria with a requirement that an entity shall consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. If the entity has no relevant experience, it would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal. The Corporation adopted FSP FAS 142-3 effective January 1, 2009. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

FAS 161

In March 2008, FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS No. 161). FAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Corporation adopted this statement in the first quarter of 2009. There were no additional disclosures required.

FAS No. 141(R)

In December 2008, FASB issued FAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. FAS No. 141R retains the fundamental requirement of FAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations. However, FAS No. 141R does make significant changes to the accounting for a business combination achieved in stages, the treatment of contingent consideration, transaction and restructuring costs, and other aspects of business combination accounting. FAS No. 141 was adopted effective January 1, 2009. The adoption will change the Corporation’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.

SAB No. 110

In December 2008, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, and extended, under certain circumstances, the availability of a “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised). Since the Corporation does not use the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term of share options, the adoption of SAB No. 110 did not effect the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

15. Subsequent Events

 

   

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On April 20, 2009, in accordance with and reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Corporation sold 150,061 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”), in a private placement of securities to a purchaser which qualifies as an accredited investor under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The purchase price per Share was equal to the average closing price of shares of the Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Markets for the thirty trading days ending on April 16, 2009, which equaled $16.66 per Share. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares sold was $2.5 million. The Corporation did not pay any underwriting discounts or commissions and did not pay any brokerage fees in connection with the sale of the Shares. The Shares sold constituted 1.7% of the number of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock, as determined immediately after the closing of the sale.

 

   

Subordinated Debt

The Bank raised $7.5 million in subordinated debt on April 20, 2009 which is intended to qualify as Tier II capital. This subordinated debt bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the ninety day LIBOR rate plus 5.75% and is adjusted quarterly. Interest is payable quarterly and principal is due on June 15, 2019. The rate of interest is capped at 10.0% per annum during the first five years of the term. This brings the total subordinated debt to $22.5 million on a proforma basis.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation and Financial Condition

Brief History of the Corporation

The Bryn Mawr Trust Company (the “Bank”) received its Pennsylvania banking charter in 1889 and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. In 1986, Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (the “Corporation”) was formed and on January 2, 1987, the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The Bank and Corporation are headquartered in Bryn Mawr, PA, a western suburb of Philadelphia, PA. The Corporation and its subsidiaries provide wealth management, community banking, residential mortgage lending, insurance and business banking services to its customers through nine full service branches and seven limited-hour retirement community offices throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. The Corporation trades on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol BMTC.

The goal of the Corporation is to become the preeminent community bank and wealth management organization in the Philadelphia area.

The Corporation competes in a highly competitive market area and includes local, national and regional banks as competitors along with savings banks, credit unions, insurance companies, trust companies, registered investment advisors and mutual fund families. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are regulated by many regulatory agencies including the Securities and Exchange Committee (“SEC”), NASDAQ, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

Results of Operations

The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Corporation. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future. These interim financial statements are unaudited.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) applicable to the financial services industry. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation and certain reclassifications are made when necessary to conform the previous year’s financial statements to the current year’s presentation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenditures for the periods presented. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The allowance for loan and lease losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by Management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan and lease portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among others, expected default probabilities, expected loan commitment usage, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans and leases, value of collateral, estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgages and general amounts for historical loss experience. The process also considers economic conditions, international events, and inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from Management estimates, additional provisions for loan and lease losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods. See the section of this document titled Asset Quality and Analysis of Credit Risk for additional information.

Other significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and footnotes 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11 to the Corporation’s unaudited financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques utilized as compared to prior periods.

Executive Overview

The Corporation reported first quarter 2009 diluted earnings per share of $0.31 and net income of $2.6 million compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.34 and net income of $2.9 million in the same period last year. Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 were 11.54% and 0.92%, respectively. ROE was 12.83% and ROA was 1.23% for the same period last year.

The Corporation’s first quarter performance is strong given the continued economic stress. The Corporation is well positioned for continued growth and profitability, and continues to be well-capitalized and to exceed regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized organization. The capital position was enhanced by the addition of $10 million in capital raised on April 20, 2009. This includes $2.5 million through the sale of unregistered equity securities, in a private placement, to an accredited investor and $7.5 million in subordinated debt which is intended to qualify as Tier II capital at the Bank. This capital strengthens the Corporation’s and the Bank’s capital position and provides additional resources to take advantage of strategic opportunities to invest and expand. This new capital was raised without any government assistance.

Net income decreased $300 thousand or 9% to $2.6 million in the first quarter 2009 from $2.9 million in the same period last year. Factors contributing to the decrease include an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses in the leasing portfolio, increased operating costs attributable to the opening of the West Chester regional banking center in January 2009, the opening of The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware in the fourth quarter of 2008, and continued net interest margin pressure. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.62% compared with 3.63% in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 3.97% in the first quarter of 2008.

Total portfolio loans and leases at March 31, 2009 were $893.5 million, a decrease of $6.1 million or less than 1% from 2008 year-end balance of $899.6 million. The decrease from year end was primarily in construction loans and leases. Credit quality on the overall loan and lease portfolio remains strong as total non-performing loans and leases represents 45 basis points or $4.0 million of portfolio loans and leases at March 31, 2009. This compares with 65 basis points or $5.8 million at December 31, 2008. The provision for loan and lease losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $1.6 million and $854 thousand, respectively. At March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan and lease losses (“allowance”) of $10.1 million represents 1.13% of portfolio loans and leases compared with 1.15% at December 31, 2008 and 1.02% at March 31, 2008. The decrease in the allowance from 1.15% to 1.13% at March 31, 2009 is due in part to the charge-off related to the site development loan transfered to OREO. Substantially all of the charge-off on the site development loan was included in the allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2008.

The Corporation’s investment portfolio decreased $2.2 million or 2.0% to $106.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $108.3 million at December 31, 2008 due to the maturity of investments and the paydown of mortgage backed securities that were not replaced. On March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Corporation’s investment security portfolio was $106.2 million compared with its amortized cost of $105.2 million. Money market fund balances grew to $72.4 million at March 31, 2009 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2008. These excess funds were the result of increased deposit, money market and savings account activity and lower loan fundings. These funds provide a higher yield than the Federal Reserve and other depository institutions. The Corporation continues to place a strong emphasis on overnight liquidity without taking undue risk.

Average total interest bearing deposits were up $78.1 million or 12.4% from the year ago period. Over the past 12 months the Corporation had significant increases in money market and savings accounts. Funding from wholesale sources, which includes wholesale deposits, Insured Network Deposits (“IND”) deposits, subordinated debt and borrowings, at March 31, 2009 of approximately $283.7 million was $37.2 million lower than the $320.9 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in deposit activity during the first quarter of 2009 reduced the Corporation’s dependency on more expensive wholesale funding.

The maximum borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB-P”) as of March 31, 2009 is $421.1 million, with the Corporation having $258.3 million or approximately 61% available, and the borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve is $97.8 million, up approximately $89 million from December 31, 2008. See the Liquidity section for a detailed breakdown of borrowing capacity limits and changes.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.62% in the first quarter of 2009 which has declined from the 3.63% and 3.97% in the fourth and first quarters of 2008, respectively, due to lower rates on interest earning assets partially offset by lower costs of interest bearing liabilities.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income was $7.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 32.9% from the $5.6 million in the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to the net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans increasing $1.5 million or 465.4% from a year ago and the gain on sale of investments which increased $250 thousand or 112.6% from the first quarter of 2008. Mortgage originations for the first quarter of 2009 were $96.5 million compared to $25.8 million in the fourth quarter

of 2008 and $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2008, resulting in a significant increase in the gain on sale of residential mortgage loans. Total wealth revenue continued to be impacted by lower market valuations during the first quarter of 2009. Wealth revenues increased 5.8% to $3.5 million as of March 31, 2009 compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. The addition of Lau Associates in the third quarter of 2008 offset declines in wealth revenue from BMTC.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, non-interest expense was $11.5 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 26.3% over the $9.1 million in the same period last year. Costs related to the increase in residential mortgage loan originations, personnel, employee benefit costs and related support costs associated with new business initiatives including the Lau Associates acquisition, the opening of our West Chester regional banking center and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware, along with a $231 thousand increase in FDIC insurance costs were the largest contributors to this increase.

Components of Net Income

Net income is affected by five major elements: Net Interest Income or the difference between interest income earned on loans, leases and investments and interest expense paid on deposit and borrowed funds; the Provision for Loan and Lease Losses or the amount added to the allowance for loan and lease losses to provide reserves for inherent losses on loans and leases; Non-Interest Income which is made up primarily of certain fees, trust income, residential mortgage activities and gains and losses from the sale of securities; Non-Interest Expenses which consist primarily of salaries, employee benefits and other operating expenses; and Income Taxes. Each of these major elements will be reviewed in more detail in the following discussion.

NET INTEREST INCOME ON A TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS

The tax equivalent net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $9.7 million was $1.0 million or 11.7% higher than the net interest income for the same period in 2008 of $8.6 million. This increase was substantially volume driven as average loan growth of $93.1 million or 11.5% and investment portfolio growth of $51.5 million or 90.4% were able to offset several prime rate decreases and the impact of a higher level of wholesale funds, which includes wholesale deposits, subordinated debt and borrowings.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $181.2 million or 26.0% to $878.8 million during the first quarter of 2009 compared to $697.7 million during first quarter of 2008. The decrease in the rate on interest bearing liabilities from 3.14% in the first quarter 2008 to 2.15% in the first quarter of 2009 is due to higher rate wholesale deposits maturing, the increase of lower rate money market and savings accounts and aggressive management of deposit pricing. The interest rate on the subordinated debt reset during the first quarter of 2009 resulting in a decrease of 84 basis points. Average total wholesale funding increased $104.4 million or 52.8% to $302.0 million compared to the same period last year. The change in average deposit balances from the first quarter of 2008 was a $95.9 million increase or 12.4%.

Despite the increase in tax equivalent net interest income due to decreased interest expense, the tax equivalent net interest margin on interest earning assets decreased by 35 basis points from 3.97% in the first quarter of 2008 to 3.62% at March 31, 2009 due to lower rates on interest earning assets.

We present information on a tax equivalent basis for net interest income. Total net interest income was $9.6 million and total equivalent net interest income was $9.7 million, for a difference of $65 thousand or 0.7%.

The rate volume analysis in the table below analyzes dollar changes in the components of interest income and interest expense as it relates to the change in balances (volume) and the change in interest rates (rate) of tax equivalent net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to March 31, 2008 broken out by rate and volume.

Tax Equivalent Net Interest Margin

The Corporation’s net interest margin decreased 35 basis points to 3.62% in the first quarter of 2009 from 3.97% in the same period last year. The interest bearing liability cost decreased in the first quarter of 2009 to 2.15%, a decrease of 99 basis points from the first quarter of 2008. This reduction was slower than the earning asset yield drop of 109 basis points during the same period, mainly due to competitive pressures and pricing by other institutions which kept deposit rates abnormally high.

The tax equivalent net interest margin and related components for the past five linked quarters are shown in the table below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Corporation actively manages its interest rate sensitivity position. The objectives of interest rate risk management are to control exposure of net interest income to risks associated with interest rate movements and to achieve sustainable growth in net interest income. ALCO, using policies and procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, is responsible for managing the interest rate sensitivity position. The Corporation manages interest rate sensitivity by changing the mix, pricing and re-pricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities, through the management of its investment portfolio, its offering of loan and selected deposit terms and through wholesale funding. Wholesale funding consists of several sources including borrowings from the FHLB-P, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia discount window, certificates of deposit from institutional brokers, Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), IND and PLGIT.

The Corporation uses several tools to manage its interest rate risk including interest rate sensitivity analysis (a/k/a “GAP Analysis”), market value of portfolio equity analysis, interest rate simulations under various rate scenarios and tax equivalent net interest margin reports. The results of these reports are compared to limits established by the Corporation’s ALCO Policies and appropriate adjustments are made if the results are outside of established limits.

The following table demonstrates the annualized result of an interest rate simulation and the estimated effect that a parallel interest rate shift in the yield curve and subjective adjustments in deposit pricing might have on the Corporation’s projected net interest income over the next 12 months.

This simulation assumes that there is no growth in the balance sheet over the next twelve months. The changes to net interest income shown below are in compliance with the Corporation’s policy guidelines. Actual results may differ significantly from the interest rate simulation due to numerous factors including assumptions, the competitive environment, market reactions and customer behavior.

The interest rate simulation above indicates that the Corporation’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 is essentially interest rate neutral to asset sensitive. Asset neutral means that an increase or decrease in interest rates will not have a significant impact on net interest income over the next 12 months. However, a 200 basis point and 300 basis point increase in rates will significantly enhance the Bank’s net interest income. A 100 basis point increase in rates is asset neutral since the Bank’s prime rate is currently higher than

Wall Street Journal Prime. The interest rate simulation is an estimate based on assumptions, which are based in part on past behavior of customers, along with expectations of future behavior relative to interest rate changes. In today’s uncertain economic times, the reliability of the Corporation’s interest rate simulation model is more uncertain. Actual customer behavior may be significantly different than expected behavior, which could cause an unexpected outcome which might translate into lower net interest income. The Corporation’s current sensitivity to interest rate changes is essentially unchanged from December 31, 2008.

GAP Report

The interest sensitivity or “GAP” report identifies interest rate risk by showing repricing gaps in the bank’s balance sheet. All assets and liabilities are reflected based on behavioral sensitivity, which is usually the earliest of either: repricing, maturity, contractual amortization, prepayments or likely call dates. Non-maturity deposits such as NOW, Savings and money market accounts are spread over various time periods based on the expected sensitivity of these rates considering liquidity and investment preferences for the bank. Non-rate sensitive assets and liabilities are spread over time periods to reflect how the Corporation views the maturity of these funds.

Non-maturity deposits, demand deposits in particular, are recognized by the regulatory agencies to have different sensitivities to interest rate environments. Consequently, it is an accepted practice to spread non-maturity deposits over defined time periods in order to capture that sensitivity. Commercial demand deposits are often in the form of compensating balances, and fluctuate inversely to the level of interest rates; the maturity of those deposits is reported as having a shorter life than typical retail demand deposits. Additionally, the regulatory capital agencies have inferred what the appropriate distribution limits are for non-maturity deposits. The Corporation has taken a more conservative approach than these limits would imply by reporting them as having a shorter maturity.

The table above indicates that the Corporation is asset neutral to slightly asset sensitive in the immediate to 90 day time frame and should experience an increase in net interest income in the near term, if interest rates rise. Accordingly, if rates decline, net interest income will also decline.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

General Discussion of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The Corporation uses the allowance method of accounting for credit losses. The balance in the allowance for loan and lease losses is determined based on Management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including Management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses.

Increases to the allowance for loan and lease losses are implemented through a corresponding provision (expense) in the Corporation’s statement of income. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses.

While Management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions or Management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses and Management’s intent with regard to the disposition of loans. In addition, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease losses.

The Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease losses is the accumulation of four components that are calculated based on various independent methodologies. All components of the allowance for loan and lease losses are estimations. Management discusses these estimates earlier in this document under the heading of “Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates”. The four components are as follows:

 

   

Specific Loan Evaluation Component – Includes the specific evaluation of larger classified loans and leases

 

   

Historical Charge-Off Component – Applies a five year historical charge-off rate to pools of non-classified loans and leases

 

   

Additional Factors Component – The loan portfolio is broken down into multiple homogenous subclassifications upon which multiple factors (such as delinquency trends, economic conditions, loan terms, and regulatory environment) are evaluated resulting in an allowance amount for each of the subclassifications. The sum of these amounts equals the Additional Factors Component.

 

   

Unallocated Component – This amount represents a general reserve against all loans and leases.

Asset Quality and Analysis of Credit risk

Credit quality on the overall loan and lease portfolio remains strong at March 31, 2009 as total nonperforming loans and leases of $4.0 million as a percentage of total loans were 45 basis points of total loans and leases. This compares to non-performing loans and leases of $5.8 million or 65 basis points at December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009 the Corporation had OREO assets valued at $1.3 million which consisted of one residential loan with a value of $28 thousand and a site development loan written down to its estimated fair value less cost to sell at quarter end. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2009 totaled $5.3 million or 45 basis points of total assets, a decrease of $500 thousand from $5.8 million in non-performing assets at December 31, 2008. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at March 31, 2009 compared with 1.15% at December 31, 2008 and 1.02% at March 31, 2008. The decrease in the allowance from 1.15% to 1.13% at March 31, 2009 is due in part to the charge off related to the site development loan transfered to OREO. Substantially all of the charge off on the site development loan was included in the allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2008.

In the first quarter 2009, net lease charge-offs totaled $1.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Management made certain lease underwriting adjustments in 2008 and continued to “tighten” these standards in early 2009 to mitigate potential losses, including the exiting of broker relationships, the reduction of lease originations in certain geographical regions and changes in the credit quality mix. It is anticipated that these adjustments and others may improve overall lease portfolio performance in coming quarters.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Three months ended March 31, 2009 Compared to March 31, 2008

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2009 was $7.5 million, an increase of $1.9 million or 32.9% over the $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2008. Factors contributing to the increase in non-interest income include revenue from the gain on sale of residential mortgage loans and the gain on sale of investments. The gain on sale of residential mortgage loan revenue, due to strong mortgage refinancing activity, increased $1.5 million or 465% from a year ago. The gain on sale of investments of $472 thousand increased $250 thousand or 113% from $222 thousand in the first quarter of 2008.

First quarter 2009 Wealth Management revenue of $3.5 million was $192 thousand or 6% higher than the same period in 2008 and 5.2% lower than the $3.7 million reported in the fourth quarter 2008. Revenues include fees from trust administration, investment management, custody and estates. The drop in the financial market values, resulting in a decline of wealth assets under management of $183.5 million from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009, combined with the reduction in fees from estate settlements, were offset by the revenues from Lau Associates. The decline in wealth assets under management and administration is primarily attributed to the lower financial market values throughout 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009. Non-interest income from residential mortgage operations, gain on sale of residential mortgage loans, gain on sale of investments, and service charges on deposit accounts in the first quarter of 2009 were all higher than first quarter 2008 amounts. The net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans directly related to the strong mortgage originations for the first quarter of 2009 of $96.5 million can be directly correlated to an increase in operating expenses equivalent to approximately 40% of the gain on sale of residential mortgages.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Three months ended March 31, 2009 Compared to March 31, 2008

Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2009 was $11.5 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 26.3% from $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. Factors contributing to this increase include a $155 thousand increase in the impairment of mortgage servicing rights. This is due to a decline in the MSR value of older high rate mortgages being serviced which were refinanced during the current low rate environment. Additionally, the FDIC insurance premium base rate increase of 130% and a non-recurring credit applied in the first quarter of 2008 were the factors that generated an increase in FDIC expenses of $231 thousand or 253.8% from $91 thousand in the first quarter of 2008. Salaries and wages in the first quarter of 2009 were $5.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 22.3% over the $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. The personnel cost associated with Lau Associates in the third quarter 2008, and the variable compensation cost related to increased mortgage revenue account for most of this increase. Employee benefits expense in the first quarter of $1.6 million increased $250 thousand or 18.8% mainly due to the decline in the fair value of pension assets and the discretionary match that was implemented in April of 2008. Other operating expenses of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 were up $359 thousand or 30.9% from the year ago period due to higher mortgage related expense due to increased mortgage origination volume, and the cost associated with the opening of the Corporation’s West Chester regional banking center and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware.

It should be noted that the FDIC is evaluating a special assessment to recapitalize the FDIC Fund. The effect on the Corporation cannot be determined at this time.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1.42 million compared to $1.41 million for the same period in 2008. This represents an effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of 35.0% and an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the same period in 2008. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2009 when compared to 2008 is primarily due to a reduction in tax-free revenue related to BOLI and increased state income taxes.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets were $1.17 billion as of March 31, 2009 an increase of 1.6% or $18.5 million from $1.15 billion from December 31, 2008, as gross loans declined $6.1 million or 0.6% while cash and cash equivalents increased $42.1 million. The cash and cash equivalent increase is due the growth in core deposits and the receipt of the $15.6 million from the BOLI contract surrender. The increase in commercial mortgages and home equity lines and loans were offset by management’s decision to reduce the leasing portfolio and construction loan balances. The Corporation’s investment portfolio decreased $2.1 million or 2% from $108.3 million as of December 31, 2008 to $106.2 million as of March 31, 2009. The investment portfolio is targeted to be approximately 10% of total assets. Maintaining this level will improve liquidity and provide the Corporation with increased borrowing opportunities. As of March 31, 2009 the investment portfolio was 9.1% of total assets. As of March 31, 2009 the Corporation had approximately $100 million in overnight cash availability. As interest rates remain extremely low, the Corporation continues to look for attractive rates, while placing a strong emphasis on liquidity without taking unnecessary risks in this recessionary economic environment.

Table of Contents

Average portfolio loans and leases for the first quarter of 2009 increased $10.4 million or 1.2% to $897.2 million compared to $886.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

The table below compares portfolio loans and leases outstanding at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The decrease of $8.0 million in residential mortgages and the decrease in construction loans are the primary reasons for the decrease in total loans and leases of $6.1 million. Residential mortgage balances are lower due to the refinancing activity. The majority of new mortgage originations are being sold servicing retained. Construction loans have decreased due to loans converting to permanent status and the slowdown of new construction projects by residential home builders. The Corporation continues to focus its business development efforts on building banking relationships with local businesses, not-for-profit and strong credit quality individuals.

Total liabilities increased $16.2 million or 1.5% from $1.06 billion as of December 31, 2008 to $1.08 billion as of March 31, 2009. Funding from wholesale sources at March 31, 2009 included $86.8 million in wholesale certificates of deposit, $29.5 million of IND, $152.4 million in FHLB-P borrowings and $15 million of subordinated debt, for a total of $283.7 million. This compares with $120.8 million in wholesale certificates, $30.2 million in IND deposits, $154.9 million in FHLB-P borrowings and $15 million in subordinated debt, a total of $320.9 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in total wholesale funding of approximately $37.2 million from December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the maturity of secured wholesale deposits that were not replaced. Average other deposits (total deposits less wholesale deposits) for the first quarter of 2009 increased 6.6% or $45.4 million to $737.2 million compared with $691.8 million at the end of 2008. See the Liquidity section for further details on the Corporation’s FHLB-P borrowing capacity and availability.

The Corporation successfully attracted new core deposit balances in savings, NOW and market rate accounts. The balance as of March 31, 2009 was $388.2 million, an increase of 16.8% from December 31, 2008.

Average deposits for the first quarter of 2009 increased $25 million or 3.0% to $870.0 million compared to $845.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Capital

Consolidated shareholder’s equity of the Corporation was $94.7 million or 8.1% of total assets as of March 31, 2009, compared to $92.4 million or 8.0% of total assets as of December 31, 2008. The following table presents the Corporation’s and Bank’s capital ratios and the minimum capital requirements to be considered “Well Capitalized” by regulators as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

Both the Corporation and the Bank exceed the required capital levels to be considered “Well Capitalized” by their respective regulators at the end of each period presented. Neither the Corporation nor the Bank are under any agreement with regulatory authorities, nor is Management aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which, if such recommendations were implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Corporation.

To enhance the Tier II regulatory capital ratios of the Corporation and the Bank, the Bank raised $7.5 million in subordinated debt on April 20, 2009 which is intended to qualify as Tier II capital. This subordinated debt bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the ninety day LIBOR rate plus 5.75% and is adjusted quarterly. Interest is payable quarterly and principal is due on June 15, 2019. The rate of interest is capped at 10.0% per annum during the first five years of the term.

On April 20, 2009, in accordance with and reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Corporation sold 150,061 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”), in a private placement of securities to a purchaser which qualifies as an accredited investor under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The purchase price per Share was equal to the average closing price of shares of the Corporation’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Markets for the thirty trading days ending on April 16, 2009, which equaled $16.66 per Share. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares sold was $2.5 million. The Corporation did not pay any underwriting discounts or commissions and did not pay any brokerage fees in connection with the sale of the Shares. The Shares sold constituted 1.7% of the number of outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock, as determined immediately after the closing of the sale. The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares to satisfy its working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, and for any other purpose deemed to be in the Corporation’s best interest.

Liquidity

The Corporation manages its liquidity position on a daily basis as part of the daily settlement function and continuously as part of the formal asset liability management process. The Bank’s liquidity is maintained by managing its core deposits as the primary source, purchasing federal funds, selling loans in the secondary market, borrowing from the FHLB-P and Federal Reserve, purchasing and issuing wholesale certificates of deposit as its secondary sources.

Unused availability is detailed on the following table:

Availability at the Federal Reserve was $9 million at December 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, the Bank pledged approximately $110 million of commercial and industrial loans to the Federal Reserve’s discount window program providing an additional $89 million of borrowing capacity.

The Federal Reserve borrowing capacity will be reduced by approximately $11 million as of April 27, 2009, as the Federal Reserve reduced the lendable value for collateral purposes of commercial loans from 75% to 65% for all participating banks to reflect economic conditions. Quarterly, the ALCO reviews the Corporation’s liquidity needs and reports its findings to the Risk Management Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors.

As of March 31, 2009 the Corporation held approximately $7.9 million of FHLB-P stock which is included in other assets. As of December 31, 2008 the FHLB-P announced it had voluntarily suspended the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock until further notice. The dividend suspension reduces 2009 earnings by approximately $200 thousand with additional capital calls possible. The Corporation’s use of FHLB-P borrowings as a source of funds is effectively more expensive due to the suspension of FHLB-P dividends and the related capital stock redemption restrictions.

The Corporation has an Agreement with Promotory Interfinancial Network, LLC to provide up to $40 million of Insured Network Deposits (“IND”) from broker dealers priced at the effective Federal Funds rate plus 20 basis points. The Corporation had approximately $30 million in balances at March 31, 2009 under this program which are classified on the balance sheet as savings and NOW accounts.

Wholesale funding, which is defined as wholesale deposits (primarily certificates of deposit and funds from IND and borrowed funds (FHLB-P advances and subordinated debt) of $283.7 million at March 31, 2009 decreased $37.2 million or 11.6% from year end 2008 balances of $320.9 million, primarily due to the Corporation allowing secured wholesale deposits to mature without replacement. Wholesale funding as a percentage of total funding was 26.9% at March 31, 2009 compared to 30.9% at December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

The Corporation’s investment portfolio decreased $2.2 million or 2.0% to $106.2 million at March 31, 2009 from $108.3 million at March 31, 2008 due to the maturity of investments and the paydown of mortgage backed securities that were not replaced. On March 31, 2009, the fair value of the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio was $106.2 million, approximately $1.0 million or 0.9% above amortized cost. The Corporation’s investment portfolio is approximately 9.1% of total assets compared to 9.4% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The Corporation’s policy is to keep the investment portfolio at approximately 10% of total assets.

Money market fund balances grew to $72.4 million at March 31, 2009 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2008. These funds provide a higher yield than the Federal Reserve and other depository institutions.

The Corporation’s reliance on wholesale funding has increased significantly over the last three years mainly due to the increases in loans and leases and the investments portfolio, but has fallen approximately 7.1% since December 31, 2008. The Corporation is constantly evaluating alternative funding sources and different options for increasing core deposits.

Off Balance Sheet Risk

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of 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 loan agreement. Total commitments to extend credit at March 31, 2009 were $313.7 million.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to a customer for a third party. Such standby letters of credit are issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is similar to that involved in granting loan facilities to customers. The Corporation’s obligation under standby letters of credit at March 31, 2009 amounted to $17.5 million.

Estimated fair values of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees and rates currently charged to enter into similar loan agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Since fees and rates charged for off-balance sheet items are at market levels when set, there is no material difference between the stated amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet instruments.

Section 404 of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002

The Corporation and its Management completed compliance procedures relating to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 as documented in the Corporation’s Form 10-K. Management continues to devote considerable effort in 2009 to assure continued compliance with all aspects of SOX 404.

Branch Office Expansion

The Corporation successfully opened its West Chester regional banking center on January 2, 2009. The West Chester PA regional banking center is a conveniently located, state-of-the-art 4,000 foot facility with a multi-lane drive-up and twenty-four hour ATM banking and had deposits of $8.8 million on March 31, 2009.

Regulatory Matters and Pending Legislation

Management is not aware of any other current specific recommendations by regulatory authorities or proposed legislation which, if they were implemented, would have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.

Proposed risk-based adjustments by the FDIC to the initial base assessment rate may be made depending on the following factors: unsecured debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits. The unsecured debt adjustment includes a potential decrease of up to 2 basis points for unsecured debt including senior and subordinated debt, a portion of Tier I capital. The secured liability and brokered deposit adjustments include a potential increase in the secured liability adjustment not to exceed 50% of a bank’s assessment rate before the increase for secured liabilities and a potential increase not exceeding 10 basis points for brokered deposits. All basis point adjustments are annualized with the adjustments to be effective April 1, 2009.

On March 30, 2009 the Federal Reserve announced it will change lendable value percentages for various groups of loans pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window to reflect recent trends in the values of these loans as of April 27, 2009. The commercial and industrial loans the Corporation pledged to the Federal Reserve initially had a lendable value for collateral purposes of 75%. As of April 27, 2009 the value for collateral purposes will be reduced to 65%. This will reduce the Corporation’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve by approximately $11 million after April 27, 2009, to approximately $87 million.

The general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, an impact on the Corporation’s results of operations.

See Effects of Government Monetary Policies for additional information.

 

 

Effects of Inflation

Inflation has some impact on the Corporation’s operating costs. Unlike many industrial companies, however, substantially all of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Corporation’s performance than the general level of inflation. Over short periods of time, interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as prices of goods and services.

 

 

Effect of Government Monetary Policies

The earnings of the Corporation are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement those objectives are open market operations in United States government securities and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and their use may also affect rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The Corporation is a member of the Federal Reserve System and, therefore, the policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have a significant effect on its deposits, loans and investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are expected to affect the Corporation’s operations in the future. The effect of such policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of the Corporation cannot be predicted.

FDIC Temporary Liquidity Program

Announced on October 14, 2008, the United States Treasury signed a systematic risk exception to the FDIC Act, to enable the FDIC to temporarily guarantee the non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts and senior debt of all FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies. Non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts under this program will have full insurance coverage guaranteed until December 31, 2009. All FDIC insured institutions were immediately covered for the first thirty days at no charge. After the initial 30 days or December 5, 2008, institutions may elect to opt out of the program by giving notice to the FDIC. There will be an annualized service charge of 10 basis points on all deposit accounts not covered by the $250,000 limit. The Corporation has made the decision not to opt out of this coverage.

The guarantee of newly issued senior debt is for all amounts issued before June 30, 2009 subject to certain limitations. This includes promissory notes, commercial paper, inter-bank funding and any unsecured portion of secured debt. All FDIC insured institutions will be covered immediately under this program for the first thirty days at no charge. After 30 days or December 5, 2008, the institutions may elect to opt out. Institutions that elect to remain in the program will incur an annualized fee of 75 basis points on the amount of debt issued under this program. Coverage will be provided until June 30, 2012. The Corporation made a decision not to opt out of this program. However, the Corporation has not issued any debt under this program as of March 31, 2009.
