PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

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, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia. The Corporation and its subsidiaries offer a full range of personal and business banking services, consumer and commercial loans, equipment leasing, mortgages, insurance and wealth management services, including investment management, trust and estate administration, retirement planning, custody services, and tax planning and preparation from 17 full-service branches and seven Life Care Community offices throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties of Pennsylvania. The Corporation’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Stock 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 operates in a highly competitive market area that 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 agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

WEBSITE DISCLOSURES

The Corporation makes available, free of charge, through its website, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are electronically filed with the SEC. These reports can be obtained on the Corporation’s website at www.bmtc.com by following the link, “About Us,” followed by “Investor Relations.” Further copies of these reports are located at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room can be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding our filings, at www.sec.gov.

OPERATIONS

 

   

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation

The Corporation has no active staff as of December 31, 2010. The Corporation holds the stock of the Bank. Additionally, the Corporation performs several functions including shareholder communications, shareholder recordkeeping, the distribution of dividends and the periodic filing of reports and payment of fees to NASDAQ, the SEC and other regulatory agencies.

A complete list of directors and executive officers of the Corporation and the Bank, as of March 1, 2011 is incorporated by reference to the last page of the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Report to Shareholders (“2010 Annual Report”). At December 31, 2010, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 325 full-time and 34 part-time employees, totaling 342 full-time equivalent staff.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries engaged in numerous transactions in 2010 including the July 1, 2010 acquisition of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (“FKF”), discussed below, as well as a registered direct offering of common stock on May 18, 2010. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital” at page 21 of the 2010 Annual Report for a more complete discussion of these transactions.

On July 1, 2010, the merger of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (“FKF”) with and into the Corporation (the “Merger”), and the two step merger of FKF’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First Keystone Bank (“FKB”) with and into the Bank, were completed. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 3, 2009, by and between the Corporation and FKF (the “Merger Agreement”), shareholders of FKF received 0.6973 shares of the Corporation’s common stock plus $2.06 per share cash consideration for each share of FKF common stock they owned as of the effective date of the Merger. The 85% stock and 15% cash transaction was valued at $31.3 million, based on FKF’s June 30, 2010, closing share price of $13.35 as listed on NASDAQ.

The aggregate consideration paid to FKF shareholders consisted of approximately 1.6 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock, valued at approximately $26.4 million, and approximately $4.8 million in cash. FKF employee stock options, valued at approximately $102 thousand, which were fully vested and converted to options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock upon the closing of the Merger, were also included in the total consideration paid.

Table of Contents

The acquisition of FKF, a federally chartered thrift institution with assets of approximately $480 million, enabled the Corporation to increase its regional footprint with the addition of eight full service branch locations, primarily in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The geographic locations of the acquired branches were such that it was not necessary to close any of the former FKF branches. By expanding into these new areas within Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the Corporation will be able to extend its successful sales culture as well as offer its reputable wealth management products and other value-added services to a wider segment of the county’s population.

On February 18, 2011, the Corporation entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Hershey Trust Company (“HTC”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire the private wealth management business of HTC (the “PWMG Business”) for a total purchase price of $18.25 million, of which $8.15 million is to be paid at closing in cash, $6.5 million is to be issued at closing in unregistered shares of the Corporation’s common stock (the “Stock Consideration”), and the final $3.6 million is to be placed in escrow and paid in cash installments on the 6-, 12- and 18-month anniversaries of the date of signing, subject to certain post-closing contingencies relating to the assets under management of the PWMG Business (the “Holdback Amount”).

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, substantially all of the assets used to conduct the PWMG Business will be assigned to a newly formed Bank and Trust Company (the “Acquired Company”) that will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of an affiliate of HTC (the “Seller”) prior to the closing of the transaction. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquired Company will, upon closing, be acquired by the Corporation, and immediately after closing, the Acquired Company will be merged with and into the Bank.

In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, for a 6 month period following the closing, the Seller will be restricted from selling, assigning, transferring or otherwise disposing of the Stock Consideration. The Corporation and HTC are expected to enter into a separate Registration Rights Agreement at or prior to closing which will provide that HTC can demand that the Corporation prepare and file with the SEC a resale registration statement registering the Stock Consideration.

Among the transferred assets will be all non-objecting client accounts of the PWMG Business, the Real Estate Lease relating to the headquarters of PWMG Business located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, certain operating agreements and various items of tangible and intangible personal property.

Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the filing of certain governmental applications and notices, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods, accuracy of specified representations and warranties of each party, absence of a material adverse effect, and obtaining material permits and authorizations for the lawful consummation of the acquisition of the Acquired Company and the merger of the Acquired Company into the Bank.

ACTIVE SUBSIDIARIES OF THE CORPORATION

The Corporation has four active subsidiaries which provide various services as described below:

 

   

Lau Associates

Lau Associates LLC, acquired in July of 2008, is a nationally recognized independent, family office serving high net worth individuals and families, with special expertise in planning intergenerational inherited wealth. Lau Associates employees numbered 10 as of December 31, 2010, and are included in the Corporation’s employment numbers. Lau Associates LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

   

The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware

The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware (“BMTC-DE”) began operations as a limited purpose trust company in the fourth quarter of 2008. BMTC-DE is located in Wilmington, DE and has the ability to be named and serve as a corporate fiduciary under Delaware law. BMTC-DE employed three full-time employees as of December 31, 2010. BMTC-DE employees are included in the Corporation’s employment numbers. Being able to serve as a corporate fiduciary under Delaware law is advantageous as Delaware statutes are widely recognized as being favorable with respect to the creation of tax-advantaged trust structures, LLCs and related wealth transfer vehicles for families and individuals throughout the United States. BMTC-DE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

FKF Capital Trust I

In connection with the acquisition of FKF, the Corporation acquired FKF Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust formed under Delaware law that became an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Corporation.

On August 21, 1997, the Trust issued $16.2 million of preferred securities (the “Preferred Securities”) at an interest rate of 9.7%, with a scheduled maturity of August 15, 2027. Simultaneously, the proceeds from the issue, along with $502 thousand of cash were invested in junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) that have been assumed by the Corporation. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Corporation. The Trust has no employees as of December 31, 2010.

Through the acquisition of FKF, the Bank has expanded its branch footprint into Delaware County, Pennsylvania, with the addition of eight full service branches.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION

The statistical information required in this Part I Item I is incorporated by reference to the information appearing in the 2010 Annual Report in the sections captioned Selected Financial Data, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) and Financial Statements and related notes.

 

   

Financial Information About Segments

The financial information concerning the Corporation’s business segments is incorporated by reference to the MD&A of the 2010 Annual Report and Note 28 Segment Information to the financial statements accompanying such Annual Report.

COMPETITION

The Corporation and its subsidiaries, including the Bank, compete for deposits, loans and wealth management services in Delaware, Montgomery, Chester and Philadelphia counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. The Corporation has a significant presence in the affluent Philadelphia suburbs known as the “Main Line.” The Corporation has 17 full-service branches and seven Life Care Community offices.

The markets in which the Corporation competes are highly competitive. The Corporation’s direct competition in attracting deposits, loans and wealth management services come from commercial banks, investment management companies, savings and loan associations, and trust companies. The Corporation also competes with credit unions, on-line banking enterprises, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, stock brokerage companies, investment advisory companies and other entities providing one or more of the services and products offered by the Corporation.

The Corporation is able to compete with the other firms because of its consistent level of customer service, excellent reputation, professional expertise, full product line, and its competitive rates and fees. However, there are several negative factors relative to the Corporation’s ability to compete with large institutions such as its limited number of locations, smaller advertising budget, lower technology budget, ability to spread out fixed costs and other lack-of-scale type disadvantages.

With the acquisition of FKF in July 2010, the Corporation has expanded its footprint significantly into Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In addition, with the acquisition of Lau Associates in July 2008, and the formation of BMTC-DE, the Corporation was able to establish a presence in the State of Delaware, where it competes for wealth management business. Additionally, BMT Leasing competes on a national level for its leasing customers.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The geographic information required by Item 101(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is impracticable for the Corporation to calculate; however, the Corporation does not believe that a material amount of revenues in any of the last three years was attributable to customers outside of the United States, nor does it believe that a material amount of its long-lived assets, in any of the past three years, was located outside of the United States.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The Corporation and its subsidiaries, including the Bank, are subject to extensive regulation under both federal and state law. To the extent that the following information describes statutory provisions and regulations which apply to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to those statutory provisions and regulations:

 

   

Bank Holding Company Regulation

 

4


Table of Contents

The Corporation, as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”). The Act limits the business of bank holding companies to banking, managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing activities for subsidiaries and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve Board may determine to be closely related to banking. The Corporation and its non-bank subsidiaries are subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board and the Corporation is required to file, with the Federal Reserve Board, an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Act and the regulations which implement the Act. The Federal Reserve Board also conducts inspections of the Corporation and each of its non-banking subsidiaries.

The Act requires each bank holding company to obtain prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire (i) direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company, including another bank holding company or a bank, unless it already owns a majority of such voting shares, or (ii) all, or substantially all, of the assets of any company.

The Act also prohibits a bank holding company from engaging in, or from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found such activities to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be appropriate. The Federal Reserve Board has, by regulation, determined that certain activities are so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks, so as to permit bank holding companies, such as the Corporation, and its subsidiaries formed for such purposes, to engage in such activities, subject to obtaining the Federal Reserve Board’s approval in certain cases.

Under the Act, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension or provision of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing any service to a customer on the condition that the customer provide additional credit or service to the bank, to its bank holding company or any other subsidiaries of its bank holding company or on the condition that the customer refrain from obtaining credit or service from a competitor of its bank holding company. Further, the Bank, as a subsidiary bank of a bank holding company, such as the Corporation, is subject to certain restrictions on any extensions of credit it provides to the Corporation or any of its non-bank subsidiaries, investments in the stock or securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may issue cease and desist orders against bank holding companies and non-bank subsidiaries to stop actions believed to present a serious threat to a subsidiary bank. The Federal Reserve Board also regulates certain debt obligations and changes in control of bank holding companies.

Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each of its subsidiary banks and to commit resources, including capital funds during periods of financial stress, to support each such bank. Consistent with its “source of strength” policy for subsidiary banks, the Federal Reserve Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank holding company generally should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless its net income available to common shareholders has been sufficient to fund fully the dividends, and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears to be consistent with the company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.

Federal law also grants to federal banking agencies the power to issue cease and desist orders when a depository institution or a bank holding company or an officer or director thereof is engaged in or is about to engage in unsafe and unsound practices. The Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company, such as the Corporation, to discontinue certain of its activities or activities of its other subsidiaries, other than the Bank, or divest itself of such subsidiaries if such activities cause serious risk to the Bank and are inconsistent with the Bank Holding Company Act or other applicable federal banking laws.

The Corporation’s Pennsylvania state chartered bank, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, is regulated and supervised by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the “Department of Banking”) and subject to regulation by The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. The Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Board regularly examine the Bank’s reserves, loans, investments, management practices and other aspects of its operations and the Bank must furnish periodic reports to these agencies. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The Bank’s operations are subject to certain requirements and restrictions under federal and state laws, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, limitations on the interest rates that may be paid on certain types of deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services which may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. These regulations and laws are intended primarily for the protection of the Bank’s depositors and customers rather than holders of the Corporation’s stock.

The regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Corporation by the Bank. Payment of dividends is restricted to the amount of the Bank’s 2010 net income plus its net retained earnings for the previous two years. As of December 31, 2010, this amount was approximately $10.4 million. However, the amount of dividends paid by the Bank cannot reduce capital levels below levels that would cause the Bank to be less than adequately capitalized. The payment

of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation is the source on which the Corporation currently depends to pay dividends to its shareholders.

As a bank incorporated under and subject to Pennsylvania banking laws and insured by the FDIC, the Bank must obtain the prior approval of the Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Board before establishing a new branch banking office. Depending on the type of bank or financial institution, a merger of the Bank with another institution is subject to the prior approval of one or more of the following: the Department of Banking, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and any other regulatory agencies having primary supervisory authority over any other party to the merger. An approval of a merger by the appropriate bank regulatory agency would depend upon several factors, including whether the merged institution is a federally insured state bank, a member of the Federal Reserve System, or a national bank. Additionally, any new branch expansion or merger must comply with branching restrictions provided by state law. The Pennsylvania Banking Code permits Pennsylvania banks to establish branches anywhere in the state.

 

   

Deposit Insurance Assessments

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law and are subject to deposit insurance premium assessments. The FDIC imposes a risk based deposit premium assessment system, under which the amount of FDIC assessments paid by an individual insured depository institution, such as the Bank, is based on the level of risk incurred in its activities.

On February 7, 2011, the FDIC Board of Directors adopted new regulations regarding assessments. The final rule, as adopted redefines the deposit insurance assessment base as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank”); makes changes to assessment rates; implements Dodd-Frank’s Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) dividend provisions; and revises the risk-based assessment system for all large insured depository institutions (“IDI”s), generally, those institutions with at least $10 billion in total assets. Nearly all of the 7,600-plus institutions with assets less than $10 billion will pay smaller assessments as a result of this final rule.

The final rule redefines the deposit insurance assessment base as average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity;

 

   

Makes generally conforming changes to the unsecured debt and brokered deposit adjustments to assessment rates;

 

   

Creates a depository institution debt adjustment;

 

   

Eliminates the secured liability adjustment; and

 

   

Adopts a new assessment rate schedule effective April 1, 2011, and, in lieu of dividends, other rate schedules when the reserve ratio reaches certain levels.

Changes to the assessment calculation are as follows:

 

   

The base for deposit insurance assessment purposes is defined as average consolidated total assets during the assessment period less average tangible equity capital during the assessment period.

 

   

Average consolidated total assets are defined in the schedule of quarterly averages in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports), using a daily averaging method.

 

   

Banks with less than $1 billion in assets (other than newly insured banks) may report average weekly assets; these banks may opt to report daily averages on a permanent basis.

 

   

Tangible equity capital is defined as Tier 1 capital and will be calculated monthly or, if the IDI has less than $1 billion in assets, on an end-of-quarter basis.

 

   

Institutions that are parents of other insured institutions will report separately from subsidiary depository institutions.

 

   

Banker’s banks and custodial banks may deduct low risk, liquid assets from their assessment base.

 

   

A banker’s bank for purposes of calculating deposit insurance assessments is defined as that term is used in 12 U.S.C. 24.

 

   

Funds resulting from government capital infusion programs, FDIC stock ownership, or employee compensation plan stock ownership do not disqualify a bank from being a banker’s bank.

 

   

An institution that meets the definition of banker’s bank is required to certify to that effect each quarter on its Call Report or Thrift Financial Report (TFR), or any successor report.

 

   

The assessment base for a banker’s bank excludes the average amount of reserve balances passed through to the Federal Reserve, the average reserve balances held at the Federal Reserve for its own account (including balances due from the Federal Reserve), and the average amount of the institution’s federal funds sold, but in no case can the amount excluded exceed the sum of the bank’s average amount of total deposits of commercial banks and other depository institutions in the United States and the average amount of its federal funds purchased.

 

   

A custodial bank for purposes of calculating deposit insurance assessments is defined in terms of total fiduciary and custody and safekeeping assets and revenues.

Table of Contents
   

The assessment base for a custodial bank excludes all 0 percent Basel risk-weighted assets and 50 percent of 20 percent risk-weighted assets not to exceed the total transaction account deposits linked to custody and safekeeping and fiduciary assets.

The following are adjustments to the assessment rate:

 

   

Unsecured debt adjustment . All institutions, except new institutions and insured branches of foreign banks, are potentially subject to a reduction in assessment rates for unsecured debt.

 

   

The unsecured debt adjustment equals 40 basis points plus the initial base assessment rate.

 

   

The unsecured debt adjustment is capped at the lesser of 5 basis points or 50 percent of the IDI’s initial base assessment rate.

 

   

Unsecured debt no longer includes Tier 1 capital.

 

   

Brokered deposit adjustment . All small IDIs in Risk Categories II, III, and IV, and all large IDIs and highly complex IDIs that are less than well capitalized or have a CAMELS composite rating of 3, 4, or 5, are potentially subject to an increase in assessment rates for brokered deposits. For purposes of the brokered deposit adjustment, brokered deposits include all brokered deposits.

 

   

The brokered deposit adjustment is limited to those IDIs in which the ratio of brokered deposits to domestic deposits is greater than 10 percent.

 

   

The brokered deposit adjustment is calculated by multiplying 25 basis points by the ratio of the difference between an IDI’s brokered deposits and 10 percent of its deposits to its assessment base.

 

   

The maximum brokered deposit adjustment is 10 basis points.

 

   

Depository institution debt adjustment . All IDIs are potentially subject to an increase in assessment rates for unsecured debt held that is issued by another IDI.

 

   

The depository institution debt adjustment equals 50 basis points of each dollar of long-term, unsecured debt held as an asset by an IDI when that debt was issued by another IDI, to the extent that all such debt exceeds 3 percent of the IDI’s Tier 1 capital.

The FDIC suspended dividends indefinitely; however, in lieu of dividends, and pursuant to its authority to set risk-based assessments, the FDIC adopted progressively lower assessment rate schedules that will take effect when the reserve ratio exceeds 1.15 percent, 2 percent, and 2.5 percent. The following new rate schedule will be effective April 1, 2011:

In addition to deposit insurance assessments, banks are subject to assessments to pay the interest on Financing Corporation bonds. The Financing Corporation was created by Congress to issue bonds to finance the resolution of failed thrift institutions. The FDIC sets the Financing Corporation assessment rate every quarter. The Financing Corporation assessment for the fourth quarter of 2010 was an annual rate of 1 basis point, which resulted in approximately $107 thousand FICO assessment payment by the Bank in 2010.

Government Monetary Policies

The monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the other regulatory agencies have had, and will probably continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of the Bank through their power to implement national monetary policy in order to, among other things, curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board may have a major effect upon the levels of the Bank’s loans, investments and deposits through the Federal Reserve Board’s open market operations in United States government securities, through its regulation of, among other things, the discount rate on borrowing of depository institutions, and the reserve requirements against depository institution deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

The earnings of the Bank and, therefore, of the Corporation are affected by domestic economic conditions, particularly those conditions in the trade area as well as the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies.

 

   

Safety and Soundness

The Federal Reserve Board also has authority to prohibit a bank holding company from engaging in any activity or transaction deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe or unsound practice. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank or Corporation, be such an unsafe or unsound practice and the regulatory agencies have indicated their view that it generally would be an unsafe and unsound practice to pay dividends except out of current operating earnings. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends in the future is presently and could be further influenced, among other things, by applicable capital guidelines discussed below or by bank regulatory and supervisory policies. The ability of the Bank to make funds available to the Corporation is also subject to restrictions imposed by federal law. The amount of other payments by the Bank to the Corporation is subject to review by regulatory authorities having appropriate authority over the Bank or Corporation and to certain legal limitations.

 

   

Capital Adequacy

Federal and state banking laws impose on banks certain minimum requirements for capital adequacy. Federal banking agencies have issued certain “risk-based capital” guidelines, and certain “leverage” requirements on member banks such as the Bank. By policy statement, the Banking Department also imposes those requirements on the Bank. Banking regulators have authority to require higher minimum capital ratios for an individual bank or bank holding company in view of its circumstances.

Minimum Capital Ratios. The risk-based guidelines require all banks to maintain two “risk-weighted assets” ratios. The first is a minimum ratio of total capital (“Tier 1” and “Tier 2” capital) to risk-weighted assets equal to 8.00%; the second is a minimum ratio of “Tier 1” capital to risk-weighted assets equal to 4.00%. Assets are assigned to five risk categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. In making the calculation, certain intangible assets must be deducted from the capital base. The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.

The risk-based capital rules also account for interest rate risk. Institutions with interest rate risk exposure above a normal level would be required to hold extra capital in proportion to that risk. A bank’s exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes in interest rates is a factor that the banking agencies will consider in evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy. The rule does not codify an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk. The Corporation currently monitors and manages its assets and liabilities for interest rate risk , and believes its interest rate risk practices are prudent and are in-line with industry standards. The Corporation is not aware of any new or proposed rules or standards relating to interest rate risk that would materially adversely affect our operations.

The “leverage” ratio rules require banks which are rated the highest in the composite areas of capital, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk to maintain a ratio of “Tier 1” capital to “adjusted total assets” (equal to the bank’s average total assets as stated in its most recent quarterly Call Report filed with its primary federal banking regulator, minus end-of-quarter intangible assets that are deducted from Tier 1 capital) of not less than 3.00%. For banks which are not the most highly rated, the minimum “leverage” ratio will range from 4.00% to 5.00%, or higher at the discretion of the bank’s primary federal regulator, and is required to be at a level commensurate with the nature of the level of risk of the bank’s condition and activities.

For purposes of the capital requirements, “Tier 1” or “core” capital is defined to include common stockholders’ equity and certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus. “Tier 2” or “qualifying supplementary” capital is defined to include a bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, plus certain types of preferred stock and related surplus, certain “hybrid capital instruments” and certain term subordinated debt instruments.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”) released a comprehensive list of proposals for changes to capital, leverage, and liquidity requirements for banks in December 2009 (commonly referred to as “Basel III”). In July 2010, the Basel Committee announced the design for its capital and liquidity reform proposals.

Table of Contents

In September 2010, the oversight body of the Basel Committee announced minimum capital ratios and transition periods providing: (i) the minimum requirement for the Tier 1 common equity ratio will be increased from the current 2.0% level to 4.5% (to be phased in by January 1, 2015); (ii) the minimum requirement for the Tier 1 capital ratio will be increased from the current 4.0% to 6.0% (to be phased in by January 1, 2015); (iii) an additional 2.5% of Tier 1 common equity to total risk-weighted assets (to be phased in between January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2019; and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% (to be tested starting January 1, 2013). The proposals also narrow the definition of capital, excluding instruments that no longer qualify as Tier 1 common equity as of January 1, 2013, and phasing out other instruments over several years. It is unclear how U.S. banking regulators will define “well-capitalized” in their implementation of Basel III.

The liquidity proposals under Basel III include: (i) a liquidity coverage ratio (to become effective January 1, 2015); (ii) a net stable funding ratio (to become effective January 1, 2018); and (iii) a set of monitoring tools for banks to report minimum types of information to their regulatory supervisors. Many of the details of the new framework related to minimum capital levels and minimum liquidity requirements in the Basel Committee’s proposals will remain uncertain until the final release is issued later this year. Implementation of the final provisions of Basel III will require implementing regulations and guidelines by U.S. banking regulators. Implementation of these new capital and liquidity requirements has created significant uncertainty with respect to the future liquidity and capital requirements for financial institutions. Therefore, we are not able to predict at this time the content of liquidity and capital guidelines or regulations that may be adopted by regulatory agencies or the impact that any changes in regulation may have on the Corporation and the Bank.

Prompt Corrective Action. Federal banking law mandates certain “prompt corrective actions,” which Federal banking agencies are required to take, and certain actions which they have discretion to take, based upon the capital category into which a Federally regulated depository institution falls. Regulations have been adopted by the Federal bank regulatory agencies setting forth detailed procedures and criteria for implementing prompt corrective action in the case of any institution that is not adequately capitalized. Under the rules, an institution will be deemed to be “adequately capitalized” or better if it exceeds the minimum Federal regulatory capital requirements. However, it will be deemed “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet the minimum capital requirements, “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%, and “critically undercapitalized” if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. The rules require an undercapitalized institution to file a written capital restoration plan, along with a performance guaranty by its holding company or a third party. In addition, an undercapitalized institution becomes subject to certain automatic restrictions including a prohibition on the payment of dividends, a limitation on asset growth and expansion, and in certain cases, a limitation on the payment of bonuses or raises to senior executive officers, and a prohibition on the payment of certain “management fees” to any “controlling person”. Institutions that are classified as undercapitalized are also subject to certain additional supervisory actions, including increased reporting burdens and regulatory monitoring, a limitation on the institution’s ability to make acquisitions, open new branch offices, or engage in new lines of business, obligations to raise additional capital, restrictions on transactions with affiliates, and restrictions on interest rates paid by the institution on deposits. In certain cases, bank regulatory agencies may require replacement of senior executive officers or directors, or sale of the institution to a willing purchaser. If an institution is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized” and continues in that category for four quarters, the statute requires, with certain narrowly limited exceptions, that the institution be placed in receivership. The Bank is currently regarded as “well capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes. See Note 25 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report for more information regarding the Bank’s and Corporation’s regulatory capital ratios.

 

   

Gramm-Leach Bliley Act

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”) repealed provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited commercial banks and securities firms from affiliating with each other and engaging in each other’s businesses. Thus, many of the barriers prohibiting affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms have been eliminated.

The GLB Act amended the Glass-Steagall Act to allow new “financial holding companies” (“FHC”) to offer banking, insurance, securities and other financial products to consumers. Specifically, the GLB Act amends section 4 of the Act in order to provide for a framework for the engagement in new financial activities. Bank holding companies may elect to become a financial holding company if all its subsidiary depository institutions are well-capitalized and well-managed. If these requirements are met, a bank holding company may file a certification to that effect with the Federal Reserve Board and declare that it elects to become a FHC. After the certification and declaration is filed, the FHC may engage either de novo or through an acquisition in any activity that has been determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity. Bank holding companies may engage in financial activities without prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board if those activities qualify under the new list in section 4(k) of the Act. However, notice must be given to the Federal Reserve Board, within 30 days after the FHC has commenced one or more of the financial activities. The Corporation has not elected to become an FHC at this time.

Under the GLB Act, a bank subject to various requirements is permitted to engage through “financial subsidiaries” in certain financial activities permissible for affiliates of FHC’s. However, to be able to engage in such activities a bank must continue to be “well-capitalized” and well-managed and receive at least a “satisfactory” rating in its most recent Community Reinvestment Act examination.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Community Reinvestment Act requires banks to help serve the credit needs of their communities, including providing credit to low and moderate income individuals and areas. Should the Bank fail to serve adequately the communities it serves, potential penalties may include regulatory denials to expand branches, relocate, add subsidiaries and affiliates, expand into new financial activities and merge with or purchase other financial institutions.

 

   

Privacy of Consumer Financial Information

The GLB Act also contains a provision designed to protect the privacy of each consumer’s financial information in a financial institution. Pursuant to the requirements of the GLB Act, the financial institution regulators have promulgated final regulations intended to better protect the privacy of a consumer’s financial information maintained in financial institutions. The regulations are designed to prevent financial institutions, such as the Bank, from disclosing a consumer’s nonpublic personal information to third parties that are not affiliated with the financial institution.

However, financial institutions can share a customer’s personal information or information about business and corporations with their affiliated companies. The regulations also provide that financial institutions can disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes but the financial institution must provide a description of its privacy policies to the consumers and give the consumers an opportunity to opt-out of such disclosure and, thus, prevent disclosure by the financial institution of the consumer’s nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties.

These privacy regulations will affect how consumer’s information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. The Bank does not believe the privacy regulations will have a material adverse impact on its operations in the near term.

 

   

Consumer Protection Rules – Sale of Insurance Products

In addition, as mandated by the GLB Act, the regulators have published consumer protection rules which apply to the retail sales practices, solicitation, advertising or offers of insurance products, including annuities, by depository institutions such as banks and their subsidiaries.

The rules provide that before the sale of insurance or annuity products can be completed, disclosures must be made that state (i) such insurance products are not deposits or other obligations of or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other agency of the United States, the Bank or its affiliates; and (ii) in the case of an insurance product that involves an investment risk, including an annuity, that there is an investment risk involved with the product, including a possible loss of value.

The rules also provide that the Bank may not condition an extension of credit on the consumer’s purchase of an insurance product or annuity from the Bank or its affiliates or on the consumer’s agreement not to obtain or a prohibition on the consumer obtaining an insurance product or annuity from an unaffiliated entity.

The rules also require formal acknowledgement from the consumer that such disclosures have been received. In addition, to the extent practical, the Bank must keep insurance and annuity sales activities physically separate from the areas where retail banking transactions are routinely accepted from the general public.

 

   

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) addresses, among other matters, increased disclosures; audit committees; certification of financial statements by the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer; evaluation by management of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting; auditor reports on our internal control over financial reporting; forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors and senior officers in the twelve (12) month period covered by restated financial statements; a prohibition on insider trading during Corporation stock blackout periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition applicable to companies, other than federally insured financial institutions, on personal loans to their directors and officers; expedited filing of reports concerning stock transactions by a company’s directors and executive officers; the formation of a public accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and increased criminal penalties for violation of certain securities laws.

 

   

Patriot Act of 2001

The Patriot Act of 2001, which was enacted in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, includes provisions designed to combat international money laundering and advance the U.S. government’s war against terrorism. The Patriot Act and the regulations which implement it contain many obligations which must be satisfied by financial institutions, including the Bank. Those regulations impose obligations on financial institutions, such as the Bank, to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. The failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the financial institution.

Government Policies and Future Legislation

As the enactment of the GLB Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act confirm, from time to time various laws are passed in the United States Congress as well as the Pennsylvania legislature and by various bank regulatory authorities which would alter the powers of, and place restrictions on, different types of banks and financial organizations. It is impossible to predict whether any potential legislation or regulations will be adopted and the impact, if any, of such adoption on the business of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, especially the Bank.

 

   

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

The federal government is considering a variety of reforms related to banking and the financial industry including. Among those reforms is the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank Act, that was enacted by Congress on July 15, 2010, and was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act is intended to promote financial stability in the U.S., reduce the risk of bailouts and protect against abusive financial services practices by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system and ending the concept of “too big to fail” institutions by giving regulators the ability to liquidate large financial institutions. It is the broadest overhaul of the U.S. financial system since the Great Depression and the overall impact on the Corporation and its subsidiaries is unknown at this time.

The Dodd-Frank Act delegates to various federal agencies the task of implementing its many provisions through regulation. Hundreds of new federal regulations, studies and reports addressing all of the major areas of the new law, including the regulation of banks and their holding companies, will be required, ensuring that federal rules and policies in this area will be further developing for months and years to come. Based on the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and anticipated implementing regulations, it is highly likely that banks and thrifts as well as their holding companies will be subject to significantly increased regulation and compliance obligations. The Dodd-Frank Act could require us to make material expenditures, in particular personnel training costs and additional compliance expenses, or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results. It could also require us to change certain of our business practices, adversely affect our ability to pursue business opportunities we might otherwise consider engaging in, cause business disruptions and/or have other impacts that are as-of-yet unknown to the Corporation and the Bank. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations, even if inadvertent, could result in negative publicity, fines or additional licensing expenses, any of which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations. For example, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act is intended to preclude bank holding companies from treating future trust preferred securities issuances as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes. This provision may narrow the number of possible capital raising opportunities the Corporation, and other bank holding companies, might have in the future. As another example, the new law established the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which has been given substantive rule-making authority under most of the consumer protection regulations affecting the Bank in connection with future consumer-related transactions.

The legislation also calls for regulations to be promulgated jointly by the federal banking regulators and the SEC which will require each bank and its holding company with consolidated assets of $1 billion or more (which includes the Bank and the Corporation) to disclose to its federal regulator the structure of its incentive-based compensation arrangements and prohibiting it from entering into any incentive-based compensation arrangement that encourages (as determined by the federal banking regulators) the institution to take inappropriate risk. Such rule is required by the legislation to be adopted on or before April 21, 2011, but at this time it is difficult to predict the extent to which the new rule, and other rules promulgated pursuant to the legislation, will impact the Corporation’s business.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Corporation’s common shares involves risk. The market price of the Corporation’s common shares may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors including those that follow. The following list contains certain risks that may be unique to the Corporation and to the banking industry. The following list of risks should not be viewed as an all inclusive list or in any particular order.

FDIC assessments may negatively impact earnings

The FDIC has authority to increase regular deposit insurance assessments or impose additional special or emergency assessments if necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance or as a result of deterioration in the deposit insurance fund reserve ratio. The Corporation cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Increases in FDIC insurance premiums may adversely affect the Corporation’s earnings

In response to the impact of economic conditions since 2008 on banks generally and on the FDIC deposit insurance fund, the FDIC changed its risk-based assessment system and increased base assessment rates. On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a rule requiring banks to prepay three years’ worth of premiums to replenish the depleted insurance fund. In February 2011, as required

Table of Contents

under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC issued a ruling pursuant to which the assessment base against which FDIC assessments for deposit insurance are made will change. Instead of FDIC insurance assessments being based upon an insured bank’s deposits, FDIC insurance assessments will generally be based on an insured bank’s total average assets minus average tangible equity. With this change, the Corporation expects that its overall FDIC insurance cost will decline. However, a change in the risk categories applicable to the Corporation’s bank subsidiaries, further adjustments to base assessment rates and any special assessments could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

The Dodd-Frank Act also requires that the FDIC take steps necessary to increase the level of the Deposit Insurance Fund to 1.35% of total insured deposits by September 30, 2020. In October 2010, the FDIC adopted a Restoration Plan to achieve that goal. Certain elements of the Restoration Plan are left to future FDIC rulemaking, as are the potential for increases to the assessment rates, which may become necessary to achieve the targeted level of the DIF. Future FDIC rulemaking in this regard may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh continues not to pay dividends and limits stock repurchases

On December 23, 2008, the FHLB announced that it would voluntarily suspend the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock until further notice. The FHLB expected its ability to pay dividends and add to retained earnings to be significantly curtailed due to low short-term interest rates, an increased cost of maintaining liquidity, other-than-temporary impairment charges, and constrained access to debt markets at attractive rates. Capital stock repurchases from member banks are reviewed on a quarterly basis by the FHLB, and only limited repurchases are expected to occur until further notice. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation held $14.2 million of FHLB capital stock.

The steadiness of other financial institutions could have detrimental effects

Routine funding transactions may be adversely affected by the actions and soundness of other financial institutions. Financial service institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, lending, borrowing or other relationships. Transactions are executed on a daily basis with different industries and counterparties, and routinely executed with counterparties in the financial services industry. As a result, a rumor, default or failures within the financial services industry could lead to market-wide liquidity problems which in turn could materially impact the financial condition of the Corporation.

Financial turmoil may increase other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) charges

Over the last several years, there has been a rise in OTTI charges taken by institutions, as the fair market values of many investment securities have fallen below their amortized cost basis. The increasing duration of unrealized losses on these securities brought about heightened scrutiny by banks, auditors, and outside examiners on whether write-downs were necessary. If the Corporation’s OTTI charges result in it falling below the “well capitalized” regulatory requirement, the Corporation may need to raise additional capital.

The Corporation may need to raise additional capital in the future and such capital may not be available when needed or at all

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations and may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. In the absence of wholesale funding sources, the Corporation may turn to additional subordinated debt and/or other transactions that might be available. We cannot assure you that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If the Corporation is unable to generate sufficient additional capital though its earnings, or other sources, it would be necessary to slow earning asset growth and or pass up possible acquisition opportunities, which may result in a reduction of future net income growth. Further, an inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Sufficient funding to support earning asset growth

The Corporation recognizes the need to grow both wholesale and non-wholesale funding sources to support earning asset growth and to provide appropriate liquidity. The Corporation’s asset growth over the past few years has been funded with various forms of wholesale funding which is defined as wholesale deposits (primarily certificates of deposit) and borrowed funds (FHLB advances, Federal advances and Federal fund line borrowings). Wholesale funding at December 31, 2010 represents approximately 18.3% of total funding compared with approximately 21.5% at December 31, 2009 and 30.9% at December 31, 2008. Wholesale funding generally costs more than deposits generated from the Corporation’s traditional branch system and is subject to certain practical limits such as the FHLB’s Maximum Borrowing Capacity and the Corporation’s liquidity targets. Additionally, regulators might consider wholesale funding beyond certain points to be imprudent and might suggest that future asset growth be reduced or halted.

In the absence of wholesale funding sources, the Corporation might need to reduce earning asset growth through the reduction of current production, sale of assets, and/or the participating out of future and current loans or leases. This in turn might reduce future net income of the Corporation.

The amount loaned to us is generally dependant on the value of the collateral pledged and the Corporation’s financial condition. These lenders could reduce the percentages loaned against various collateral categories, eliminate certain types of collateral and otherwise modify or even terminate their loan programs, particularly to the extent they are required to do so because of capital adequacy or other balance sheet concerns, or if further disruptions in the capital markets occur. Any change or termination of our borrowings from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve or correspondent banks would have an adverse affect on our liquidity and profitability.

On February 27, 2009 the FDIC finalized its risk based assessment rules for ongoing assessments. These new rules include certain upward adjustments in the base assessment rate for rapid growth and use of wholesale funding. These new ongoing assessment rules effectively increase the cost of wholesale funding above certain levels in the form of increased FDIC assessments.

The capital and credit markets remain volatile

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for the past few years. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers seemingly without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If levels of market disruption and volatility worsen, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and/or our ability to access capital. Several factors could cause the market price for our common shares to fluctuate substantially in the future, including without limitation:

 

   

announcements of developments related to our business;

 

   

fluctuations in our results of operations;

 

   

sales of substantial amounts of our securities into the marketplace;

 

   

general conditions in our markets or the worldwide economy;

 

   

a shortfall in revenues or earnings compared to securities analysts’ expectations;

 

   

changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections; and

 

   

our announcement of new acquisitions or other projects.

Market conditions have adversely affected the financial services industry

Declines in the housing market over the past few years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, coupled with a rising unemployment rate, have resulted in write-downs of asset values by financial institutions throughout the country. These write-downs include asset-backed securities, credit default swaps and other derivative securities. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets and the strength of many financial institutions, lenders have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers. This market turmoil and tightening of credit could lead to continual elevated levels of commercial and consumer delinquencies, the abundance of merger and acquisition activity, failures of financial institutions and a reduction of general business activity and related revenues.

Political gridlock at state and federal levels

The inability of our federal and state governments to control spending and borrowing, and the resulting record deficits, does not bode well for the future economic growth of our Country and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Unless the problem of the escalating costs of governmental entitlement programs, unfunded spending and growing deficits, are brought under control, we may experience large tax increases, higher interest rates, reduced government services and much slower growth in the coming years, resulting in lower net income to the Corporation.

Previously enacted and potential future legislation, including legislation to reform the U.S. financial regulatory system, could adversely affect our business

Market conditions have resulted in creation of various programs by the United States Congress, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC that were designed to enhance market liquidity and bank capital. As these programs expire, are withdrawn or reduced, the impact on the financial markets, banks in general and their customers is unknown. This could have the effect of, among other things, reducing liquidity, raising interest rates, reducing fee revenue, limiting the ability to raise capital, all of which could have an adverse impact on the financial condition of the Bank and the Corporation.

Additionally, the federal government is considering a variety of other reforms related to banking and the financial industry including, without limitation, the newly adopted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank Act, that was enacted by Congress on July 15, 2010, and was signed into law by President Obama on July 21, 2010. This legislation could require us to make material expenditures, in particular personnel training costs and additional compliance expenses, or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results. It could also require us to change certain of our business practices, adversely affect our ability to pursue business opportunities we might otherwise consider engaging in, cause business disruptions and/or have other impacts that are as-of-yet unknown to the Corporation and the Bank. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations, even if

inadvertent, could result in negative publicity, fines or additional licensing expenses, any of which could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and results of operations. For example, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act is intended to preclude bank holding companies from treating future trust preferred securities issuances as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy purposes. This provision may narrow the number of possible capital raising opportunities the Corporation, and other bank holding companies, might have in the future.

The new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“BCFP”) may reshape the consumer financial laws through rulemaking and enforcement of unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, which may directly impact the business operations of depository institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank.

The BCFP has broad rulemaking authority to administer and carry out the purposes and objectives of the “Federal consumer financial laws, and to prevent evasions thereof,” with respect to all financial institutions that offer financial products and services to consumers. The BCFP is also authorized to prescribe rules applicable to any covered person or service provider identifying and prohibiting acts or practices that are “unfair, deceptive, or abusive” in connection with any transaction with a consumer for a consumer financial product or service, or the offering of a consumer financial product or service (“UDAP authority”). The potential reach of the BCFP’s broad new rulemaking powers and UDAP authority on the operations of financial institutions offering consumer financial products or services including the Bank is currently unknown.

Potential losses incurred in connection with possible repurchases and indemnification payments related to mortgages that we have sold into the secondary market may require us to increase our financial statement reserves in the future.

We engage in the origination and sale of residential mortgages into the secondary market. In connection with such sales, we make certain representations and warranties, which, if breached, may require us to repurchase such loans or indemnify the purchasers of such loans for actual losses incurred in respect of such loans. These representations and warranties vary based on the nature of the transaction and the purchaser’s or insurer’s requirements but generally pertain to the ownership of the mortgage loan, the real property securing the loan and compliance with applicable laws and applicable lender and government-sponsored entity underwriting guidelines in connection with the origination of the loan. While we believe our mortgage lending practices and standards to be adequate, we may receive requests in the future, which could be material in volume. If that were to happen, we could incur losses in connection with loan repurchases and indemnification claims, and any such losses might exceed our financial statement reserves, requiring us to increase such reserves. In that event, any losses we might have to recognize and any increases we might have to make to our reserves could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting standards periodically change and the application of our accounting policies and methods may require the Corporation to make estimates about matters that are uncertain

The regulatory bodies that establish accounting standards, including, among others, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC, periodically revise or issue new financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The effect of such revised or new standards on our financial statements can be difficult to predict and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the Corporation must exercise judgment in appropriately applying many of our accounting policies and methods so they comply with generally accepted accounting principles. In some cases, the Corporation may have to select a particular accounting policy or method from two or more alternatives. In some cases, the accounting policy or method chosen might be reasonable under the circumstances and yet might result in our reporting materially different amounts than would have been reported if we had selected a different policy or method. Accounting policies are critical to fairly presenting our financial condition and results of operations and may require the Corporation to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are uncertain.

Rapidly changing interest rate environment could reduce the Corporation’s net interest margin, net interest income, fee income and net income

Interest and fees on loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and borrowings, are a large part of the Corporation’s net income. Interest rates are key drivers of the Corporation’s net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of the Corporation. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. Rapidly changing interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of divergence in financial instrument maturities and/or competitive pressures. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth. Decreases or increases in interest rates could have a negative effect on the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore decrease net interest income. Also, changes in interest rates might also impact the values of equity and debt securities under management and administration by the Wealth Management Division which may have a negative impact on fee income. See the section captioned “Net Interest Income” in the MD&A of the 2010 Annual Report for additional details regarding interest rate risk.

Provision for loan and lease losses and level of non-performing loans

 

15


Table of Contents

All borrowers carry the potential to default and our remedies to recover may not fully satisfy money previously loaned. We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents the Corporation’s best estimate of probable credit losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of the Corporation, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance for loan losses reflects the Corporation’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic conditions; and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks using existing qualitative and quantitative information, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of additional loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of the Corporation. An increase in the allowance for loan losses results in a decrease in net income, and possibly risk-based capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The design of the allowance for loan loss methodology is a dynamic process that must be responsive to changes in environmental factors. Accordingly, at times the allowance methodology may be modified in order to incorporate changes in various factors including, but not limited to, levels and trends of delinquencies and charge-offs, trends in volume and types of loans, national and economic trends and industry conditions.

The Corporation’s controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented

The Corporation diligently reviews and updates the its internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any failure or undetected circumvention of these controls could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Decreased residential mortgage origination, volume and pricing decisions of competitors

The Corporation originates, sells and services residential mortgage loans. Changes in interest rates and pricing decisions by our loan competitors affect demand for the Corporation’s residential mortgage loan products, the revenue realized on the sale of loans and revenues received from servicing such loans for others, ultimately reducing the Corporation’s net income. New regulations, increased regulatory reviews, and/or changes in the structure of the secondary mortgage markets which the Corporation utilizes to sell mortgage loans may be introduced and may increase costs and make it more difficult to operate a residential mortgage origination business.

The Corporation’s performance and financial condition may be adversely affected by regional economic conditions and real estate values

The Bank’s loan and deposit activities are largely based in eastern Pennsylvania. As a result, the Corporation’s consolidated financial performance depends largely upon economic conditions in this eastern Pennsylvania region. This region experienced deteriorating local economic conditions during 2008 and 2009, and a continued downturn in the regional real estate market could harm our financial condition and results of operations because of the geographic concentration of loans within this regional area and because a large percentage of our loans are secured by real property. If there is further decline in real estate values, the collateral for the Corporation’s loans will provide less security. As a result, the Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate will be diminished, and the Bank will be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.

Additionally, a significant portion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is invested in commercial real estate loans. Often in a commercial real estate transaction, repayment of the loan is dependent on rental income. Economic conditions may affect the tenant’s ability to make rental payments on a timely basis, and may cause some tenants not to renew their leases, each of which may impact the debtor’s ability to make loan payments. Further, if expenses associated with commercial properties increase dramatically, the tenant’s ability to repay, and therefore the debtor’s ability to make timely loan payments, could be adversely affected.

All of these factors could increase the amount of the Corporation’s non-performing loans, increase its provision for loan and lease losses and reduce the Corporation’s net income.

Leasing business transactions may result in additional risks not previously experienced by the Corporation

The Corporation’s leasing business which began operations in September 2006, consists of nation-wide leasing various types of equipment to businesses with an average original equipment cost of $18 thousand per lease. Continued economic sluggishness may result in higher credit losses than we would experience in our traditional lending business, as well as potential increases in state regulatory burdens such as state income taxes, personal property taxes and sales and use taxes.

A continued general economic slowdown could further impact Wealth Management Division revenues

 

16


Table of Contents

A continued general economic slowdown could decrease the value of Wealth Management Division assets under management and administration resulting in lower fee income, and clients potentially seeking alternative investment opportunities with other providers, which resulting in lower fee income to the Corporation.

Our ability to realize our deferred tax asset may be reduced, which may adversely impact results of operations

Realization of a deferred tax asset requires us to exercise significant judgment and is inherently uncertain because it requires the prediction of future occurrences. The deferred tax asset may be reduced in the future if estimates of future income or our tax planning strategies do not support the amount of the deferred tax asset. If it is determined that a valuation allowance of its deferred tax asset is necessary, the Corporation may incur a charge to earnings.

The Corporation is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. In the course of our business, we may own or foreclose and take title to real estate and could become subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. We may become responsible to a governmental agency or third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean-up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with environmental investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. If we were to become subject to significant environmental liabilities, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Corporation is subject to certain risks in connection with its use of technology

Communications and information systems are essential to the conduct of our business, as we use such systems to manage our customer relationships, our general ledger, our deposits, and our loans. While we have established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of systems failures, interruptions, and security breaches, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed if they do. In addition, any compromise of our security systems could deter customers from using our web site and our online banking service, which involve the transmission of confidential information. Although we rely on commonly used security and processing systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect the secure transmission of data, these precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of security.

In addition, we outsource certain of our data processing to third-party providers. If our third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if we have difficulty in communicating with them, our ability to adequately process and account for customer transactions could be affected, and our business operations could be adversely impacted. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.

The occurrence of any systems failure, interruption, or breach of security could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers and business, could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, financial products and services have become increasingly technology-driven. Our ability to meet the needs of our customers competitively, and in a cost-efficient manner, is dependent on our ability to keep pace with technological advances and to invest in new technology as it becomes available. Many of our competitors have greater resources to invest in technology than we do and may be better equipped to market new technology-driven products and services. The ability to keep pace with technological change is important, and the failure to do so on our part could have a material adverse impact on our business and therefore on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation is subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited to, customer or employee fraud and data processing system failures and errors

Employee errors and misconduct could subject us to financial losses or regulatory sanctions and seriously harm our reputation. Misconduct by our employees could include hiding unauthorized activities from us, improper or unauthorized activities on behalf of our customers or improper use of confidential information. It is not always possible to prevent employee errors and misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective in all cases. Employee errors could also subject us to financial claims for negligence.

We maintain a system of internal controls and insurance coverage to mitigate operational risks, including data processing system failures and errors and customer or employee fraud. Should our internal controls fail to prevent or detect an occurrence, or if any resulting loss is not insured or exceeds applicable insurance limits, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Potential acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of the Private Wealth Management Group of the Hershey Trust Company, may disrupt the Corporation’s business and dilute shareholder value

We regularly evaluate opportunities to strengthen our current market position by acquiring and investing in banks and in other complementary businesses, or opening new branches. As a result, we may engage in negotiations or discussions that, if they were to result in a transaction, could have a material effect on our operating results and financial condition, including short and long-term liquidity. Our acquisition activities could be material to us. For example, we could issue additional shares of common stock in a purchase transaction, which could dilute current shareholders’ ownership interest. These activities could require us to use a substantial amount of cash, other liquid assets, and/or incur debt. In addition, if goodwill recorded in connection with our prior or potential future acquisitions were determined to be impaired, then we would be required to recognize a charge against our earnings, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations during the period in which the impairment was recognized. Any potential charges for impairment related to goodwill would not impact cash flow, tangible capital or liquidity.

Our acquisition activities, including the pending acquisition of the private wealth management business (the “PWMG Business”) of the Hershey Trust Company, could involve a number of additional risks, including the risks of:

 

   

incurring time and expense associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and negotiating potential transactions, resulting in the Corporation’s attention being diverted from the operation of our existing business;

 

   

using inaccurate estimates and judgments to evaluate credit, operations, management, and market risks with respect to the target institution or assets;

 

   

potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of banks and businesses we acquire;

 

   

the time and expense required to integrate the operations and personnel of the combined businesses;

 

   

experiencing higher operating expenses relative to operating income from the new operations;

 

   

creating an adverse short-term effect on our results of operations;

 

   

losing key employees and customers as a result of an acquisition that is poorly received; and

 

   

risk of significant problems relating to the conversion of the financial and customer data of the entity being acquired into the Corporation’s financial and customer product systems.

We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with pending or potential acquisitions. Our inability to overcome these risks could have an adverse effect on our levels of reported net income, ROE and ROA, and our ability to achieve our business strategy and maintain our market value.

Attractive acquisition opportunities may not be available to us in the future

We may not be able to sustain a positive rate of growth or be able to expand our business. We expect that other banking and financial service companies, many of which have significantly greater resources than us, will compete with us in acquiring other financial institutions if we pursue such acquisitions. This competition could increase prices for potential acquisitions that we believe are attractive. Also, acquisitions are subject to various regulatory approvals. If we fail to receive the appropriate regulatory approvals for a transaction, including the PWMG Business, we will not be able to consummate such transaction which we believe to be in our best interests. Among other things, our regulators consider our capital, liquidity, profitability, regulatory compliance and levels of goodwill and intangibles when considering acquisition and expansion proposals. Other factors, such as economic conditions and legislative considerations, may also impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market presence. If we are not able to successfully grow our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The financial services industry is very competitive

The Corporation faces competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing other financial services such as trust and investment management services throughout the Corporation’s market area. The Corporation’s competitors include other community banks, larger banking institutions, trust companies and a wide range of other financial institutions such as credit unions, registered investment advisors, financial planning firms, leasing companies, government-sponsored enterprises, on-line banking enterprises, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and other non-bank businesses. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than the Corporation. This is especially evident in regards to advertising and public relations spending. For a more complete discussion of our competitive environment, see “Business—Competition” in Item 1 above. If the Corporation is unable to compete effectively, the Corporation may lose market share and income from deposits, loans, and other products may be reduced.

Additionally, increased competition among financial services companies due to consolidation of certain competing financial institutions and the conversion of certain investment banks to bank holding companies may adversely affect our ability to market our products and services.

The Corporation’s common stock is subordinate to all of our existing and future indebtedness; regulatory and contractual restrictions may limit or prevent us from paying dividends on our common stock; and we are not limited on the amount of indebtedness we and our subsidiaries may incur in the future

Our common stock ranks junior to all indebtedness, including our outstanding subordinated debentures, and other non-equity claims on the Corporation with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on the Corporation, including in a liquidation of the Corporation. Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest would customarily be payable on specified due dates, in the case of our common stock, dividends are payable only when, as and if authorized and declared by our Board of Directors and depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, debt service requirements, other cash needs and any other factors our Board of Directors deems relevant. Under Pennsylvania law we are subject to restrictions on payments of dividends out of lawfully available funds. Also, the Corporation’s right to participate in a distribution of assets upon a subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors.

In addition, we are not limited by our common stock in the amount of debt or other obligations we or our subsidiaries may incur in the future. Accordingly, we and our subsidiaries may incur substantial amounts of additional debt and other obligations that will rank senior to our common stock or to which our common stock will be structurally subordinated.

There may be future sales of additional common stock or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock

We are not restricted from issuing additional common stock or other securities. Additionally, our shareholders may in the future approve the authorization of additional classes or series of stock which may have distribution or other rights senior to the rights of our common stock, or may be convertible into or exchangeable for, or may represent the right to receive, common stock or substantially similar securities. The future issuance of shares of our common stock or any other such future equity classes or series could have a dilutive effect on the holders of our common stock. Additionally, the market value of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by us of a large number of shares of common stock or any future class or series of stock in the market or the perception that such sales could occur.

4. Forfeiture .

a. Forfeiture . All Restricted Stock that has not vested at the Vesting Date in accordance with subsections 3. a. and 3. b. and Exhibit A attached hereto shall be forfeited in their entirety and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation.

b. Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock and Payment to the Corporation for Vested Restricted Stock If Grantee Engages in Certain Activities .

In the event the Grantee shall cease to be an employee by reason of: normal or late retirement; with the consent of the Compensation Committee, early retirement or a transfer of the Grantee in a spinoff; or death; or total and permanent disability as determined by the Compensation Committee, then the time restrictions on a fraction of Grantee’s outstanding Restricted Stock will lapse.

All Restricted Stock for which the time restrictions have not lapsed as provided in this section 5 shall be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation.

13. Incorporation by Reference . This Restricted Stock Award is granted pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Relative Total Shareholder Return ” means the Corporation’s TSR relative to the TSR of the NASDAQ Community Bank Index at the end of the Restricted Period based on the following formula:

Vesting Amount = 100% - (NASDAQ Community Bank Index TSR- Corporation’s TSR) x 3.33%

Provided however, if the Corporation’s TSR is negative, no Restricted Stock will vest. If the Corporations TSR is greater than the NASDAQ Community Bank Index TSR and greater than zero, one hundred percent of the Restricted Stock will vest. For every 100 basis points (1%) that the Corporation’s TSR is behind the NASDAQ Community Bank Index, the Vesting Amount is decreased by 3.33%.

TSR ” means, for the Corporation, the Corporation’s total shareholder return, which will be calculated by dividing (i) the Closing Average Share Value by (ii) the Opening Average Share Value.

Example : An illustrative example of the TSR calculation for a hypothetical company and performance period is attached at the end of this Exhibit.

Opening Average Share Value ” means the average, over the trading days in the Opening Average Period, of the closing price of a company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Opening Average Period.

Opening Average Period ” means the 20 trading days preceding August 20, 2010.

Accumulated Shares ” means, for a giving trading day, the sum of (i) and (1) share and (ii) a cumulative number of shares of the company’s common stock purchased with the dividends declared on a company’s common stock, assuming same day reinvestment of the dividends in the common stock of a company at the closing price on the ex-dividend date, for ex-dividend dates between the start of the Opening Average Period and the trading day.

Closing Average Share Value ” means the average, over the trading days in the Closing Average Period, of the closing price of the company’s stock multiplied by the Accumulated Shares for each trading day during the Closing Average Period.

Closing Average Period ” means (i) in the absence of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2010 Plan), the 20 trading days preceding August 20, 2013; or (ii) in the case of a Change of Control, the trading days during the period beginning thirty (30) calendar days prior to the Change in Control; and ending on the Accelerated End Date.

Accelerated End Date ” means the date five (5) calendar days (or such shorter period as may be established by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion) prior to the Change in Control.

Immediately upon a Change of Control as herein defined, the Company shall establish an irrevocable trust fund pursuant to a trust agreement to hold assets to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

12


Employee, at the prime rate published daily in the Wall Street Journal, each change in such rate to take effect on the effective date of the change in such prime rate.

(b) It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Employee not be required to incur any expenses associated with the enforcement of his/her rights under this Agreement by arbitration, litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Employee hereunder.

9. No Set-Off . The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or

 

13


other right which the Company may have against the Employee or others and the Company hereby agrees not to exercise any such rights with respect to payment due the Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

10. Certain Reduction of Payments .

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined as set forth herein that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that it would be economically advantageous to the Employee to reduce the Payment to avoid or reduce the taxation of excess parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Code, the aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as “Agreement Payments”) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be subject to the taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 10, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

(b) All determinations to be made under this Section 10 shall be made, in writing, by KPMG LLP, or the Company’s independent certified public accountant immediately prior to the Change of Control, if other than KPMG LLP, (the “Accounting Firm”), which firm

 

14


shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations in writing to both the Company and the Employee within ten (10) days of the Termination Date. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. The Employee shall in his or her sole discretion determine which and how much of the Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 10, which determination shall be made by delivery of written notice to the Company within 10 days of Employee’s receipt of the determination of the Accounting Firm. Within five (5) days after the Employee’s timely determination, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) or distribute (or cause to be distributed) to or for the benefit of the Employee, such amounts as are then due to the Employee under this Agreement. In the event Employee does not make such timely determination then within 15 days after Company’s receipt of the determination of the Accounting Firm, the Company in its sole discretion may pay (or cause to be paid) or distribute (or cause to be distributed) to or for the benefit of the Employee such portion of the Agreement Payments as it may deem appropriate, but no less than the Reduced Amount.

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments, as the case may be, will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (“Overpayment”) or that additional Agreement Payments which have not been made by the Company could have been made (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. Within two (2) years after the Separation from Service, the Accounting Firm shall review the determination made by it pursuant to the preceding paragraph. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Overpayment has

 

15


been made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Employee which the Employee shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code (the “Federal Rate”); provided , however , that no amount shall be payable by the Employee to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee together with interest thereon at the Federal Rate.

11. Settlement of All Disputes .

(a) The Employee and the Company acknowledge that the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board intends to review and approve a schedule indicating a method of calculating certain payments to be made to the Employee hereunder in the event of a Termination upon a Change of Control.

(b) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or the Employee’s Termination upon a Change of Control, the Company shall appoint as the sole and exclusive arbiter of such dispute, controversy or claim, a committee composed of two persons who were members of the Company’s Board at any time within five (5) years prior to the Change of Control (which persons may, but need not be, directors of the Company at the time of such dispute, controversy or claim); provided , however , that no person shall be eligible to serve thereon who (i) is at the Termination Date, or shall have been at any time within one year prior thereto, an executive officer of the Company, or (ii) shall be or have been at any time related in any manner to or otherwise affiliated with, or was first nominated by, the corporation, Person or group whose acquisition of shares of Common Stock of BMBC has given rise to a Change of Control. The decision of such committee and the award of any monetary judgment or other relief by such committee shall be final and binding upon the Employee and the Company, and shall not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the decision and award of such committee by the Employee or the Company in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall pay the persons selected pursuant to this subsection a reasonable fee for their services, and shall reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in this capacity.

17


(c) In the event that the Company shall be unable to appoint the committee referred to in paragraph (b) above after good faith efforts to do so, or in the event that such committee cannot reach a unanimous agreement, any remaining dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any provision of this Agreement or the Employee’s Termination upon a Change of Control shall be settled by arbitration in the City of Philadelphia, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, before a panel of three (3) arbitrators, two (2) of whom shall be selected by the Company and the Employee, respectively, and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. Each arbitrator selected as provided herein is required to be or have been a director or an executive officer of a corporation whose shares of common stock were listed during at least one year of such service on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be entered thereon by any party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable.

18


provided , however , that (i) after a Change of Control during the term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall remain in effect for a period of two (2) years and until all of the obligations of the parties hereunder are satisfied or have expired, and (ii) this Agreement shall terminate if, prior to the Change of Control, the employment of the Employee with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate for any reason whatsoever.

13. Successor Company . The Company shall require any Person who acquires the majority of the Common Stock of the Company or BMBC or any successor or successors thereof (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or BMBC, by agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, to acknowledge expressly, in writing, that this Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against the Company or BMBC or any successor or successors thereto in accordance with the terms hereof and the instrument of transfer, and to become jointly and severally obligated with the Company to perform this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform this Agreement if no such acquisition purchaser, merger consolidation, succession or successions had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the Company shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any such successor or successors to its business and/or assets, jointly and severally.

No delay or omission by the Employee in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof, including without limitation any delay by the Employee in delivering a Notice of Termination pursuant to Section 2 hereof after an event has occurred which would, if the Employee had resigned, have constituted a Termination upon a Change of Control pursuant to Section 1(n)(ii) of this Agreement.

19. Miscellaneous . All section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is an original. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any of the other counterparts.

AGREEMENT, dated as of the Date of Grant set forth above by and between BRYN MAWR BANK CORPORATION (the “Corporation”) and the Grantee named above (the “Grantee”).

1. The Plan . This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on February 26, 2010 and by the Corporation’s shareholders on April 28, 2010. Except as otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. The term “Corporation” as used in this Agreement with reference to employment shall include employment with any Subsidiary of the Corporation.

2. Grant of Restricted Stock .

a. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Corporation’s Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) hereby grants to the Grantee the Target Number of shares of its Common Stock set forth above (the “Restricted Stock”) and an opportunity to earn up to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Target Number upon over performance (“Over Performance Shares”).

b. Upon execution of this Agreement by the Grantee, the Corporation will cause the issuance of the Restricted Stock to Grantee subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. Restricted Stock (and any dividends earned thereon) will be held by the secretary of the Corporation as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). The certificate or certificates representing such shares of Restricted Stock (and any dividends earned thereon) will not be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Grantee unless and until the shares of Restricted Stock are vested and all other terms and conditions in this Agreement have been satisfied. The Escrow Agent may, in its discretion, elect to enter into alternative arrangements for the escrow of the shares of Restricted Stock if, in the Escrow Agent’s discretion, such shares are issued in book entry form.

c. The certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock will contain the following legend: “This certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) set forth in the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation 2010 Long Term Incentive Plan and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation. Release from such terms and conditions will be made only in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement, a copy of each of which is on file with the office of the corporate secretary of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation.”

d. If a book entry system is used with respect to the issuance of Restricted Stock, appropriate notations of forfeiture possibility and transfer restrictions will be made on the system with respect to the account or accounts to which the Restricted Stock are credited.

e. Upon vesting of the Restricted Stock and satisfaction of all of the other terms and conditions in this Agreement, the Corporation will cause replacement stock certificate(s) without the restrictive legend referred to in subsection 2. c. above to be issued and delivered to Grantee as soon as practicable and shall cause any Over Performance Shares to be issued and delivered to Grantee.

3. Terms and Conditions . The Grant is subject to the following terms and conditions:

a. Restricted (Vesting) Period . The period of time during which the transfer of shares of Restricted Stock and the right to receive Over Performance Shares is restricted is from the Date of Grant to January 10, 2014 (the “Restricted Period”) The time period restriction will lapse and Restricted Stock and any Over Performance Shares will vest upon expiration of the applicable Restricted Period and achievement of the Performance Goals as defined in subsection 3. b. and Exhibit A, but only if the Grantee remains continuously employed by the Corporation through the end of the applicable Restricted Period or as otherwise provided herein.

b. Performance Goals . The Restricted Stock is issued and the Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares are subject to the performance goals (“Performance Goals”) set forth on Exhibit A and shall only vest if the Performance Goals are achieved and the timing restrictions set forth in subsection 3. a. have lapsed. The Compensation Committee shall determine whether the Performance Goals have been achieved in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. The Compensation Committee shall determine within 75 days after January 10, 2014 whether the Performance Goals have been achieved in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto. Any fractional shares resulting from the application of the percentages in the Table set forth on Exhibit A hereto shall be rounded to the nearest whole numbers of shares. No vesting shall be deemed to occur unless and until the Compensation Committee certifies in writing which Performance Goals have been achieved. The Compensation Committee shall make such certification no later than 75 days after January 10, 2014. The date on which the Compensation Committee certifies whether a Performance Goal has been achieved that results in the vesting of some or all of the Restricted Stock and/or Over Performance Shares is referred to in this Agreement as the “Vesting Date”.

c. Prohibition Against Sale, Assignment, Etc. Unvested Restricted Stock and the right to receive Over Performance Shares may not be sold, assigned or transferred, except by Will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered.

d. Rights as a Shareholder . Grantee will have all of the rights and privileges of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Stock including, but not limited to, the right to vote the Restricted Stock.

e. Dividends . At the time of delivery of the Restricted Stock pursuant to paragraph 2. e. above, the Corporation shall also pay to Grantee an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all dividends paid by the Corporation between January 10, 2011 and the date of such delivery with respect to the number of shares of Restricted Stock so delivered or issued, less an amount equal to the Corporation’s federal, state and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations with respect to the income recognized by the Grantee as a result of such payment.

4. Forfeiture .

a. Forfeiture . All Restricted Stock and the right to receive any Over Performance Shares that have not vested at the Vesting Date in accordance with subsections 3. a. and 3. b. and Exhibit A attached hereto shall be forfeited in their entirety and such Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation. Grantee hereby appoints the Escrow Agent as Grantee’s attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority to take any action and execute all documents, including stock powers, which may be necessary to transfer the unvested Restricted Stock to the Corporation upon determination of forfeiture.

b. Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares and Payment to the Corporation for Vested Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares If Grantee Engages in Certain Activities . The provisions of this subsection 4. b. will apply to all Restricted Stock and the right to receive Over Performance Shares granted to Grantee under the Plan. If, at any time during the Restricted Period, or (ii) two (2) years after termination of, or leaving, Grantee’s employment with the Corporation, Grantee engages in any activity inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Corporation including, but not limited to (A) conduct related to Grantee’s

 

2


employment for which either criminal or civil penalties against Grantee may be brought, (B) violation of the Corporation’s policies including, without limitation, the Corporation’s insider trading policy, (C) soliciting of any customer of the Corporation for business which would result in such customer terminating their relationship with the Corporation; soliciting or inducing any individual who is an employee or director of the Corporation to leave the Corporation or otherwise terminate their relationship with the Corporation, (D) disclosing or using any confidential information or material concerning the Corporation, or (E) participating in a hostile takeover attempt, then (x) all shares of Restricted Stock and the right to receive Over Performance Shares that have not vested effective as of the date on which Grantee engages in such activity, unless terminated sooner by operation of another term or condition of this Agreement or the Plan, shall be forfeited in their entirety and all such shares of Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to and acquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation, and (y) for any Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares which have vested and been delivered to Grantee, the Grantee shall pay to the Corporation the market value of the Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares on the date of the grant or the day Grantee engages in such activity, whichever is greater. The term “confidential information” as used in this Agreement includes, but is not limited to, records, lists, and knowledge of the Corporation’s clients, methods of operation, processes, trade secrets, methods of determination of prices, prices or fees, financial condition, profits, sales, net income, and indebtedness, as the same may exist from time to time.

c. Compensation Committee Discretion. Grantee may be released from Grantee’s obligations under subsections b. and c. of this section 4 only if the Compensation Committee, or its duly appointed agent, determines in its sole discretion that such action is in the best interest of the Corporation.

5. Death or Disability . In the event the Grantee shall cease to be an employee by reason of: a transfer of the Grantee in a spinoff; or death; or total and permanent disability as determined by the Compensation Committee, then the time restrictions on a fraction of Grantee’s outstanding Restricted Stock and right to receive Over Performance Shares will lapse and the Target Number shall be adjusted by such fraction. The numerator of such fraction with respect to the Target Number shall be the number of full calendar months that have elapsed in the Restricted Period prior to the death or disability of the Grantee and the denominator shall be the number of months in the Restricted Period. All Restricted Stock and right to receive Over Performance Shares for which the time restrictions have not lapsed as provided in this section 5 shall be forfeited and such Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation. The terms of section 2. b. above and Exhibit A (including the requirement for certification by the Compensation Committee) shall continue to apply to the Restricted Stock and right to receive Over Performance Shares for which the time restrictions have lapsed as provided in this section 5 except that the Compensation Committee shall determine whether the Performance Goals have been achieved as of the end of the fiscal quarter in which the death or disability occurs subject to any adjustments deemed necessary and appropriate by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

6. Termination . If the Grantee terminates the Grantee’s employment or retires or if the Corporation terminates the Grantee’s employment with or without Cause, any shares of Restricted Stock and any right to Over Performance Shares subject to a Restricted Period or a Performance Goal shall automatically be forfeited and all such Restricted Stock shall be transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to the Corporation.

7. Change of Control . In the event of a Change in Control:

a. In the event of a Change of Control, restrictions on a fraction of Grantee’s outstanding Restricted Stock will lapse and the Target Number shall be adjusted by such fraction. The numerator of such fraction shall be the number of full calendar months that have elapsed in the Restricted Period prior to the Change in Control and the denominator shall be the number of full calendar months in the Restricted Period. All Performance Goals shall be deemed to have been achieved at the one hundred percent (100%) of the Target Number level and any Restricted Stock not previously distributed shall be distributed within 10 days after the change of control. Grantee’s right to receive Over Performance Shares will lapse. Any Restricted Stock for which the Restricted Period has not lapsed as provided in this section 7 shall be forfeited and such Restricted Stock shall be automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation at no cost to Corporation.

8. Change Adjustments .

relevant change as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Grantee.

9. Compliance with Law and Regulations .

The Corporation shall not be required to register any securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to list such shares under the Stock Exchange in which the common shares of the Corporation may then be listed, or to take any other affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or delivery of the Restricted Stock to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental authority.

10. Notice . Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: to the Corporation, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, at its office at 801 Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 or to the Grantee at her/his address on the records of the Corporation or at such other addresses as the Corporation, or Grantee, may designate in writing from time to time to the other party hereto.

11. Employment . Neither the action of the Corporation or the shareholders, nor any action taken by the Compensation Committee under the Plan nor any provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as giving to the Grantee the right to be retained as an employee of the Corporation.

12. Payment of Taxes . The Corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of Restricted Stock and Over Performance Shares or the release from the escrow established under section 2 above, that appropriate arrangements be made for the withholding of any applicable federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant or any issuance or release from escrow of Restricted Shares or Over Performance Shares. The Corporation and any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, to the extent permitted or required by law, shall have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind (including retainer or director fees) otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any Restricted Stock or dividends thereon or Over Performance Shares under the Plan, or to retain or sell, without notice, a sufficient number of the Restricted Stock or Over Performance Shares to be delivered to such Grantee to cover any such taxes, provided that the Corporation shall not sell any Restricted Stock or Over Performance Shares if such sale would be considered a sale for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

13. Incorporation by Reference . This Restricted Stock Award is granted pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Plan in effect on the Date of Grant, the terms of the Plan shall control. This Agreement shall not be modified after the Date of Grant except by written agreement between the Corporation and the Grantee; provided, however, that such modification shall (a) not be inconsistent with the Plan, and (b) be approved by the Committee.

14. Severability . If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

15. Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A . It is the intention of the parties that the Restricted Stock, Over Performance Shares and the Agreement comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent, if any, that such provisions are applicable to the Agreement and the Agreement will be administered by the Compensation Committee in a manner consistent with this intent. If any payments or benefits may be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, Grantee agrees that the Compensation Committee may, without the consent of Grantee, modify this Agreement to the extent and in the manner that the Compensation Committee deems necessary or advisable or take any other action or actions, including an amendment or action with retroactive effect that the Compensation Committee determines is necessary or appropriate to exempt any payments or benefits from the application of Section 409A or to provide such payments or benefits in the manner that complies with the provisions of Section 409A such that they will not be taxable thereunder.

Illustration

If Average Wealth Revenue increased 14%, the Wealth Pre-tax margin increased 39%, and Mr. Leto’s subjective performance was superior, the following is a calculation of the number of vested shares:

 

Average Wealth Revenue

   9,000 x .375 = 3,375 x 1.25 =      4,219   

Average Wealth Pre-tax

   9,000 x .375 = 3,375 x 1.00 =      3,375   

Subjective Criteria

   9,000 x .25   = 2,250 x 1.50 =      3,375

* Net income, exclusive of merger-related expenses, is calculated by adding back to reported net income, which is a GAAP measure, the tax-effected due diligence and merger-related expenses of $3.830 million (pre-tax of $5.714 million, effective tax rate of 33.0%) and $402 thousand (pre-tax of $616 thousand, effective tax rate of 33.7%), for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of our performance and believes that they provide useful supplemental information that is essential to an investor’s understanding of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Letter to shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Although the recession has continued to batter many banks around the nation, I’m pleased to report that the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation and our main subsidiary, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company, had an outstanding year.

Credit for this performance goes to our hardworking and dedicated staff, an excellent management team, and an engaged and active Board of Directors.

Here are the highlights:

 

 

On July 1, we successfully completed the acquisition of First Keystone Bank. In doing so, we doubled the size of our branch system and geographical footprint, and increased our banking assets by $480 million.

 

 

Net income, exclusive of merger expenses, was $13 million, an increase of 21% over the prior year. *

 

 

Wealth assets under management and administration increased 19% during 2010 and finished the year at $3.4 billion. A strong contributor was our newly-formed BMT Asset Management group, which specializes in handling investment accounts from $500 thousand to $3 million.

 

 

We completed a “private placement” stock offering in May and raised over $24 million of new common equity to support current and future growth. Bryn Mawr Trust remains a “well-capitalized” bank per federal and state regulatory guidelines.

 

 

Our stock price increased from $15.09 on December 31, 2009 to $17.45 on December 31, 2010, an improvement of 15.6%. Including our dividends, the total return to our shareholders for the year was 19.4%.

 

 

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation was ranked #56 in financial performance out of thousands of institutions on the US Banker’s “Annual List of Top Community Banks.”

Despite such a strong year, challenges still remain. Many of our clients, especially small businesses, continue to be affected by the weak economy and, especially, by high unemployment. While the recently enacted Dodd-Frank

Act for financial reform bill mainly affects the very large banks, it still includes time-consuming and burdensome requirements on institutions such as ours.

However, we believe that we are very well positioned for another excellent year of profitability and growth in 2011.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at my direct line, 610-581-4800.

 

Sincerely,
LOGO

Ted Peters

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Year in review

In 2010, we announced our 3-5-3 strategic vision. Our goal is to have $3 billion in banking assets and $5 billion in wealth assets within 3 years. This year, we made significant strides in achieving that strategic vision.

INVESTING IN OUR FUTU RE

On July 1, 2010, we completed our acquisition of First Keystone Financial, Inc., and its main operating subsidiary, First Keystone Bank. With this acquisition, we added eight full-service branches to our network and $480 million in assets. Closing on the acquisition marked an important milestone for us. However, we still had a tremendous amount of work ahead of us converting all former First Keystone Bank client accounts to Bryn Mawr Trust’s computer systems. Our primary goal for conversion was to develop and implement a “client focused” plan that would effectively communicate any changes in products or services, anticipate customer questions, identify new opportunities for customers and guide them through the transition to Bryn Mawr Trust.

On August 25, 2010, we announced the successful conversion of all First Keystone Bank client accounts to Bryn Mawr Trust’s computer systems. Our conversion team did a wonderful job on this project, and we experienced relatively few issues or complaints. In fact, client and account retention has been very high, and we are excited about the growth opportunities for the combined organizations.

In September, following our successful conversion, we launched a major multimedia campaign to improve brand awareness, particularly in our newly-acquired markets. The campaign promoted our capabilities in wealth management, commercial banking, retail banking and mortgage banking, using radio, cable TV, newspapers, internet and outdoor advertising. We received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about the campaign and generated many new client relationships.

OUR CORE BUSINESSES

Once again, each of our four core businesses performed well in 2010. There was certainly the potential for getting distracted as we worked through the First Keystone acquisition. However, our team didn’t let that effort interfere with their primary goal of growing the Bank.

The Wealth Management Division acquired many new clients and made progress in growing some of our newer services, including philanthropic and escrow services. Our Wealth Management professionals are recognized financial management experts. Major news organizations sought their opinions and interviewed them on a variety of wealth and financial management topics. They have been seen on CNBC Closing Bell, CNBC Squawk on the Street, Fox Business News and Fox 29 News, and quoted in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Philadelphia Business Journal, Wilmington News Journal and The Philadelphia Inquirer, to name a few.

The Retail Banking staff personnel kept very busy growing new consumer and business account relationships. In addition to their normal sales and customer service activities, they were responsible for training the former First Keystone staff on our products, services, computer systems and procedures. As a result of their hard work, account retention and new client growth has been excellent. Our clients are receiving the excellent service they have come to expect!

   2010 Annual Report   


LOGO

With a disciplined approach to loan underwriting and risk management, our Commercial Banking group was able to avoid the significant loan problems that many other banks have encountered over the last few years. Credit quality of our loan portfolio is good and, with the addition of several new experienced lenders to our staff, we are poised for growth in 2011.

Many consumers were motivated to refinance residential mortgages due to the continued low rate environment in 2010. The BMT Mortgage Company closed over $239 million in new mortgages.

BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES

Bryn Mawr Trust has always had a strong commitment to supporting the communities we serve. As we grow larger, we feel it is even more important to maintain close ties with residents, business leaders and community leaders. In 2009, we began to formalize our commitment by establishing a Chester County Advisory Board. In 2010, we expanded the program by establishing a Delaware County Advisory Board, a Wealth Management Advisory Board and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware Advisory Board. Advisory Board members meet with Bryn Mawr Trust’s senior managers on emerging trends, issues, and opportunities to enhance our well-established role as a business and community partner. We are fortunate to have assembled a prestigious group of leaders to serve on our Advisory Boards. The members of our Advisory Boards are:

RECOGNITION AND AWARDS

It’s always nice to receive recognition for a special achievement or a job well done. Thanks to our dedicated team members, Bryn Mawr Trust was honored on several different occasions this year.

In May 2010, we were notified that we had been ranked 56th in the US Banker’s annual ranking of the top community banks in the United States. The rankings are based on the financial institution’s performance as compiled by SNL Financial LC.

On August 2, 2010, in recognition of our 25th anniversary of being listed on the NASDAQ exchange, we were invited to ring the closing bell at the market. When first listed on NASDAQ, our market capitalization was $64.3 million and it has grown to over $240 million during the first quarter of 2011.

In December 2010, we received the Community Service Award from The Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers for our support of The Radnor High School Scholarship Fund. In addition to our financial support, many of our staff members volunteer their time to work on various fundraising activities for this and other organizations.

We are honored to have received this award and recognition.

INVESTING IN OUR FRANCHISE

In December 2010, two of our subsidiaries, The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware and Lau Associates LLC, moved to a beautiful new location at 20 Montchanin Road, Greenville, Delaware 19807. This new location is ideally situated to serve our growing client base in the state of Delaware.

We are also in the process of making major renovations at our Havertown branch located at 18 West Eagle Road, Havertown, Pennsylvania 19083. We expect to have renovations completed in the first quarter of 2011.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

B RIEF H ISTORY OF THE C ORPORATION

 

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, Pennsylvania, a western suburb of Philadelphia. The Corporation and its subsidiaries offer a full range of personal and business banking services, consumer and commercial loans, equipment leasing, mortgages, insurance and wealth management services, including investment management, trust and estate administration, retirement planning, custody services, and tax planning and preparation from 17 full-service branches and seven limited-hour, retirement community offices throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties of Pennsylvania. The common stock of the Corporation trades on the NASDAQ Stock 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 operates in a highly competitive market area that 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 agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), NASDAQ, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

On July 1, 2010, the merger of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (“FKF”) with and into the Corporation (the “Merger”), and the two step merger of FKF’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First Keystone Bank (“FKB”) with and into the Bank, were completed. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 3, 2009, by and between the Corporation and FKF (the “Merger Agreement”), shareholders of FKF received 0.6973 shares of the Corporation’s common stock plus $2.06 per share cash consideration for each share of FKF common stock they owned as of the effective date of the Merger. The 85% stock and 15% cash transaction is valued at $31.3 million, based on FKF’s June 30, 2010 closing share price of $13.35 as listed on NASDAQ.

The aggregate consideration paid to FKF shareholders consisted of approximately 1.6 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock, valued at approximately $26.4 million, and approximately $4.8 million in cash. FKF employee stock options, valued at approximately $102 thousand, which were fully vested and converted to options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock upon the closing of the Merger, were also included in the total consideration paid.

The acquisition of FKF, a federally chartered thrift institution with assets of approximately $480 million, enabled the Corporation to increase its regional footprint with the addition of eight full service branch locations, primarily in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The geographic locations of the acquired branches were such that it was not necessary to close any of the former FKF branches. By expanding into these new areas within Delaware County, Pennsylvania, the Corporation will be able to extend its successful sales culture as well as offer its reputable wealth management products and other value-added services to a wider segment of the region’s population.

R ESULTS OF O PERATIONS

 

The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations are comprised primarily 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. For more information on the factors that could affect performance, see “Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements” on page 24 of this Annual Report.

C RITICAL A CCOUNTING P OLICIES , J UDGMENTS AND E STIMATES

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to the financial services industry (“GAAP”). All inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation and certain reclassifications are made when necessary in order to conform the previous years’ 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

 

2


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 (the “Allowance”) 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 the Corporation to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses. The Corporation’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 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 the Corporation’s 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 in the accompanying financial statements. The Corporation’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies has not substantively changed any aspect of its overall approach in the application of the foregoing policies.

O VERVIEW OF G ENERAL E CONOMIC , R EGULATORY AND G OVERNMENTAL E NVIRONMENT

 

During 2010, the global and U.S. economies began to stabilize from the severe recessionary environment of 2008 and 2009. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private, non-profit research group, the recession began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009. The decline in the housing market during the past year began to slow and the unemployment rate retreated from a high of 10% during the first part of 2010.

The drop in real estate values negatively impacted residential home builder and development business nationwide. In addition, investment securities backed by residential and commercial real estate reflected substantial unrealized losses due to a lack of liquidity in the financial markets and anticipated credit losses. Some financial institutions were forced into liquidation or were merged with stronger institutions as losses increased and the amounts of available funding and capital levels decreased. As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation and the Bank are “well capitalized” by regulatory standards and are in a position to acquire new customers from weaker financial institutions.

As the economic recovery was not as robust as the Federal Reserve anticipated, a second round of quantitative easing, known as “QE2,” was announced in November 2010. To further stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve announced it would purchase $600 billion of Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter of 2011. There has been much debate as to whether QE2 was needed, the inflationary impact it may ultimately have and whether the program should be stopped early.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), a sweeping overhaul to financial regulation within the U.S. was signed into law. The main goals of the Dodd-Frank Act were to promote financial stability within the U.S. by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end the “too big to fail” theory pertaining to financial institutions, to protect consumers from abusive financial service practices and to protect American taxpayers by ending bailouts of institutions. Implementation of the various provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act represents a significant change in the U.S. financial regulatory environment and will impact the entire financial services industry, including the Corporation.

In November 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“FDIC”) approved Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Act providing temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. This coverage became effective December 31, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2012. Excluded from this coverage are negotiable orders of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts and interest on lawyer trust accounts (“IOLTA”).

In addition, on November 9, 2010, the FDIC approved proposed rules related to the calculation of the deposit insurance assessment. The proposal would shift the basis for the assessment away from an institution’s total domestic deposits, to its average total assets less tangible equity. The FDIC is also proposing that the new assessment method be implemented, effective April 1, 2011. This shift in assessment basis would benefit community banks by placing more of the burden on the large, multi-national banks, which, until now, were only assessed on their domestic deposit base.

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) has continued its voluntary suspension of dividend payments and the repurchase of excess capital stock originally announced on December 23, 2008. The FHLB expects that its ability to pay dividends and add to retained earnings will be significantly curtailed due to low short-term interest rates, an increased cost of maintaining liquidity and constrained access to debt markets at attractive rates. Capital stock repurchases from member banks will be reviewed on a quarterly basis, and only limited repurchases have taken place during the current fiscal year. As

of December 31, 2010, the Corporation held $14.2 million of FHLB capital stock. The FHLB is the primary source of liquidity for the Corporation, but alternatives are also available, including the Federal Reserve and wholesale certificates of deposit.

Since the financial crisis began in late 2008, there has been much debate on the future of two government sponsored enterprises: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For decades, borrowers, lenders and investors benefited from the liquid markets these institutions helped establish. However, financial decisions were based on the faulty assumptions that housing prices could only rise. As credit and home demand catapulted to unseen levels, various financial instruments were created to shift risk away from the originators and mortgages became a tool for speculation. As the housing market collapsed, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did not have enough capital to support their investments and absorb losses. In September 2008, these two institutions were placed into conservatorship where they remain today. In February 2011, a report was issued by the Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Housing entitled “Reforming America’s Housing Finance Market – A Report to Congress.” Though the report does not focus on one solution for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it is clear that both organizations going forward will reduce their footprint in the housing market. It is unclear as of this writing how this will affect the Corporation, going forward.

Throughout 2010 the economy remained weak, but stabilized and there is reserved optimism for 2011. A continued anemic economic recovery could have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s revenues, capital, liquidity and profitability. However, the Corporation is confident that its disciplined strategies to maintain a strong financial position and build the brand name should put it in a good position to weather the financial downturn and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

E XECUTIVE OVERVIEW

 

2010 Compared to 2009

As a result of the acquisition by merger of FKF on July 1, 2010, the primary cause of the changes in both the Corporation’s balance sheet and results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009 can be attributed to the Merger.

The Corporation reported net income of $9.2 million or $0.85 diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $10.3 million, or $1.18 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2009. Return on average equity (“ROE”) and return on average assets (“ROA”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, were 6.76% and 0.61%, respectively, as compared to 10.55% and 0.88%, respectively, for the same period in 2009. Net income, ROE and ROA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, were reduced, primarily by the due diligence and merger-related expenses of $5.7 million associated with the Merger and $3.0 million increase in the provision for loan and lease losses (the “Provision”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. ROE was also affected by the registered direct stock offering, completed in May 2010, which increased capital by $24.6 million.

The $11.6 million, or 28.1% increase in the Corporation’s tax-equivalent net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, was attributed to a $3.5 million, or 21.4%, decrease in interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of a 71 basis point decrease in the rate paid on deposits between the periods. The decrease was partially offset by a 44 basis point decline in interest-earning asset yield for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The Corporation’s tax-equivalent net interest margin increased from 3.70% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 to 3.79% for the same period in 2010.

Asset quality remained stable as of December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan and lease losses of $10.3 million was 0.86% of portfolio loans and leases, as of December 31, 2010, as compared to $10.3 million, or 1.18%, of portfolio loans and leases, at December 31, 2009. The calculation of the Allowance, as a percentage of loans and leases in 2010, includes the acquired FKF loan portfolio which, in accordance with GAAP, was recorded at its fair value without its previously recorded Allowance.

Total portfolio loans and leases of $1.20 billion at December 31, 2010 increased $311.0 million, or 35.1%, as compared to $885.7 million at December 31, 2009. The growth was primarily attributable to the Merger and new business development efforts. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in the Bank’s lease portfolio of $12.3 million from $47.7 million as of December 31, 2009 to $35.4 million as of December 31, 2010, as repayments and charge-offs exceeded new production.

The Corporation’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2010 had a fair market value of $317.1 million, as compared to $208.2 million at December 31, 2009. This increase of $108.8 million, or 52.3%, was primarily the result of the Merger and the purchase of short-term securities, to utilize excess cash balances.

Deposits of $1.34 billion at December 31, 2010, increased $403.5 million, or 43.0%, from $937.9 million at December 31, 2009. This growth was largely due to the deposits acquired in the Merger, in addition to continued

strong branch activity, and the increase in balances of new accounts opened in previous quarters.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Provision increased to $9.9 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 43.1%, from the $6.9 million for the same period in 2009. This increase is related to $7.7 million in write-downs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, of two commercial loan relationships to their expected net realizable values based on updated analyses of the collateral supporting the loans and certain new valuation information. Partially offsetting this increase was a $2.7 million decrease in net charge-offs in the lease portfolio, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.

Non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 was $29.4 million, an increase of $905 thousand, or 3.2%, as compared to the same period in 2009. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, was a $239 thousand, or 17.2%, increase in loan servicing and late fees and a $356 thousand, or 18.2%, increase in service charges on deposits. These increases were largely attributable to the addition of the FKF branches during the third quarter of 2010. In addition to the effects of the Merger, fees for Wealth Management services increased $1.3 million, or 9.3%, from $14.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 to $15.5 million, for the same period in 2010. Partially offsetting the increases in Wealth Management fees and other fee income was a $1.3 million decline in the gain on sale of mortgage loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.

Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, was $58.0 million, an increase of $11.4 million, or 24.6%, as compared to the same period in 2009, partially due to the $5.7 million due diligence and merger-related expenses, as well as increased staffing and processing costs related to the addition of FKF’s eight full-service branch locations.

2009 Compared to 2008

The Corporation reported net income of $10.3 million or $1.18 diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $9.3 million, or $1.08 diluted earnings per share, for the same period in 2008. ROE and ROA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, were 10.22% and 0.87%, respectively, as compared to 10.01% and 0.89%, respectively, for the same period in 2008.

The Corporation’s portfolio of loans and leases as of December 31, 2009 of $885.7 million decreased $13.9 million, or 1.6%, from $899.6 million as of December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to the $11.6 million, or 19.5% decline in the Bank’s lease portfolio to $47.8 million as of December 31, 2009, from the December 31, 2008 balance of $59.4 million. The decline in the loan portfolio, which related primarily to its construction segment, as well as the decline in the leasing portfolio, resulted from Management’s decision to limit exposure to these sections of the portfolio.

As of December 31, 2009 credit quality on the overall loan and lease portfolio remained stable as total non-performing loans and leases totaled $6.9 million or 0.78% of portfolio loans and leases as compared to non-performing loans and leases of $5.8 million, or 0.65% of portfolio loans and leases as of December 31, 2008.

The Provision for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $6.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the Allowance of $10.4 million represented 1.18% of portfolio loans and leases, as compared $10.3 million as of December 31, 2008, which was 1.15% of portfolio loans and leases, at December 31, 2008.

The increase in the Corporation’s tax-equivalent net interest income of $3.7 million, or 9.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008 was attributed to a $4.7 million, or 22.6% decrease in interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, primarily resulting from a 106 basis point decrease in the rate paid on deposits. The Corporation’s tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased from 3.84% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 to 3.70% for the same period in 2009.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, non-interest income was $28.5 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 32.6% from $21.5 million for the same period in 2008. Contributing to this improvement was a $4.7 million increase in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans and a $1.9 million increase in gain on sale of available for sale and trading investment securities, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, non-interest expense was $46.5 million, an increase of $7.9 million or 20.3% over the $38.7 million for the same period in 2008. Contributing to this increase was a $4.7 million increase in salary and benefits expense, which included commissions on mortgage originations associated with new business initiatives. In addition, FDIC insurance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased $1.3 million, to $1.8 million, which included a one-time special assessment of $540 thousand, as compared to the same period in 2008.

C OMPONENTS OF N ET I NCOME

 

Net income is affected by five major elements: Net Interest Income , or the difference between interest income and loan fees earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds; Provision For Loan and Lease Losses , or the amount added to the allowance for loan and lease losses to provide for estimated inherent losses on loans and leases; Non-Interest Income which is made up primarily of certain fees, wealth management revenue, residential mortgage activities and gains and losses from the sale of loans, securities and other assets; Non-Interest Expense , which consists 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 and Net Interest Margin 2010 Compared to 2009

The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 3.79% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 3.70%, for the same period in 2009.

The tax-equivalent net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, of $52.8 million, was $11.6 million, or 28.1%, higher than the tax-equivalent net interest income of $41.2 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily driven by the effects of larger asset and liability balances resulting from the Merger as well as a 71 basis point decrease in weighted average rate paid on deposits from 1.39% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 to 0.68% for the same period in 2010.

The tax-equivalent net interest income increased as a result of the $148.6 million, or 16.6%, increase in average loans and leases for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to loans acquired in the Merger as well as new business development initiatives. The yield on loans declined 9 basis points to 5.72% from 5.81% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. In addition, the average balance of investment securities grew by $129.3 million, or 87.6%, to $276.9 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 from the same period in 2009, primarily due to investments acquired in the Merger, and, to a lesser extent, the investment of cash resulting from strong deposit inflows as well as cash acquired in the Merger. The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 decreased 147 basis points to 2.04% from 3.51% for the same period in 2009, as more short-term liquid investments were purchased, replacing the higher-yielding investments that were called and the continued decline in interest rates.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $222.7 million, or 25.1%, to $1.1 billion during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $887.5 million for the same period in 2009. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities dropped 67 basis points to 1.14%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 from 1.81%, for the same period in 2009. This was primarily due to the maturing of higher-rate wholesale deposits, the increase in lower-costing money market and savings account balances and reduced deposit rates.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin 2009 Compared to 2008

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $41.2 million was $3.8 million or 10.1% higher than the $37.4 million recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the $4.7 million, or 22.6% reduction in interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The average balance of interest-earning assets, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, increased $140.3 million, or 14.4%, to $1.11 billion, from $974.0 million for the same period in 2008. However, the tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 84 basis points from 5.98% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 to 5.14% for the same period in 2009. This was the result of decreases in the tax-equivalent yields on investment securities and loans and leases of 124 basis points and 46 basis points, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The yields on loans decreased largely due to the current rate environment and competitive pricing pressures, while the yield on investments decreased as more short-term liquid investments were purchased.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $97.2 million, or 12.3%, from $790.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 to $887.5 million for the same period in 2009. This increase was mainly due to the increase in core deposits, as wholesale deposits that matured were not replaced. Additionally, the Corporation increased subordinated debt by $14.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The tax-equivalent rate on interest-bearing liabilities declined 82 basis points from 2.63% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 to 1.81% for the same period in 2009, primarily due to aggressive management of deposit pricing and the maturities of higher-rate wholesale deposits during 2009. Despite the increase in tax-equivalent net interest income, tax-equivalent net interest margin on interest-earning assets decreased 14 basis points to 3.70% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, from 3.84% for the same period in 2008.

Net Interest Margin

The interest-bearing liability cost decreased 41 basis points to 1.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, from 1.45% for the same period in 2009. This reduction was due primarily to aggressive management of deposit pricing and the maturity of higher-rate wholesale deposits during the fourth quarter of 2010. At the same time, the yield on interest-earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2010 declined 43 basis points to 4.56% from 4.99% for the same period in 2009.

The interest-bearing liability cost for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 decreased 67 basis points, to 1.14%, from 1.81% for the same period in 2009. This reduction was due primarily to the aggressive management of deposit pricing and the maturity of higher-rate wholesale deposits during 2010.

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. The Corporation’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), using policies and procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, is responsible for the management of the Corporation’s 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 offerings of loan and selected deposit terms and through wholesale funding. Wholesale funding consists of multiple sources including borrowings from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s discount window, certificates of deposit from institutional brokers, Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), Insured Network Deposit (“IND”) Program, Institutional Deposit Corporation (“IDC”) and Pennsylvania Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”).

The Corporation uses several tools to manage its interest rate risk including interest rate sensitivity analysis, or 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 the established limits.

The following table demonstrates the annualized result of an interest rate simulation and the estimated effect that a parallel interest rate shift, or “shock”, 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 interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities over the next twelve months. The changes to net interest income shown below are in compliance with the Corporation’s policy guidelines.

The interest rate simulation above demonstrates that the Corporation’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 is asset sensitive, indicating that an increase in interest rates will have a positive impact on net interest income over the next 12 months while a decrease in interest rates will negatively impact net interest income. In the above simulation, net interest income will increase if rates increase 100-, 200- or 300 basis points. However, the 100-basis point increase scenario indicates a minimal increase in net interest income over the next twelve months as the Corporation has interest rate floors on many of its portfolio loans. In addition, the Corporation’s internal prime loan rate is set, as of December 31, 2010, at 3.99%, or 74 basis points above the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate of 3.25%. The 100 basis point decrease scenario shows a $1.95 million, or (3.08)%, decrease in net interest income over the next twelve months as many of the Corporation’s liabilities bear rates of interest below 1.00% and therefore would not be able to sustain the entire decrease. The four scenarios are directionally consistent with the December 31, 2009 simulation (with the exception of the 100 basis point increase), but reflect a lower interest income increase and percentage change in net interest income due to the current rate environment.

The interest rate simulation is an estimate based on assumptions, which are based on past behavior of customers, along with expectations of future behavior relative to interest rate changes. In today’s uncertain economic environment and the current extended period of very low interest rates, the reliability of the Corporation’s interest rate simulation model is more uncertain than in other periods. Actual customer behavior may be significantly different than expected behavior, which could cause an unexpected outcome and may result in lower net interest income.

Gap Report

The interest sensitivity, or Gap report, identifies interest rate risk by showing repricing gaps in the Corporation’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 the investment preferences of the bank. Non-rate-sensitive assets and liabilities are spread over time periods to reflect the Corporation’s view of the maturity of these funds.

Non-maturity deposits (demand deposits in particular), are recognized by the Bank’s 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 these deposits is reported as having a shorter life than typical retail demand deposits. Additionally, the Bank’s regulatory agencies have suggested distribution limits for non-maturity deposits. However, the Corporation has taken a more conservative approach than these limits would suggest by forecasting these deposit types with a shorter maturity.

The table above indicates that the Corporation is 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 should decline. Actual results may differ from expected results for many reasons including market reactions, competitor responses, customer behavior and/or regulatory actions.

P ROVISION FOR L OAN AND L EASE L OSSES

 

Loans acquired in the Merger

In accordance with GAAP, the loans acquired from FKF were recorded at their fair value with no carryover of the previously associated allowance for loan loss. As a result, loans acquired from FKF are not factored into the calculation of the allowance unless or until their credit quality declines below the level present at acquisition.

In connection with the Merger, certain loans were acquired which exhibited deteriorated credit quality since origination and for which the Bank does not expect to collect all contractual payments. Accounting for these purchased credit-impaired loans is done in accordance with ASC 310-30 “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”. The loans were recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on non-accrual status and have no accretable yield.

Management evaluates purchased credit-impaired loans individually for further impairment. The balance of the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio is evaluated on either an individual basis or on a collective basis for impairment. Refer to Notes 5-G and 5-H in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a more information regarding the Bank’s impaired loans and leases.

General Discussion of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

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

Increases to the allowance are implemented through a corresponding provision (expense) in the Corporation’s statement of income. Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance.

While the Corporation considers the allowance to be adequate, based on information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions or the Corporation’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses and the Corporation’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.

The Corporation’s allowance is the accumulation of four components that are calculated based on various independent methodologies. All components of the allowance are based on Management’s estimates. These estimates are summarized earlier in this document under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates”.

The four components of the Allowance are as follows:

 

   

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

 

   

Historical Charge-Off Component – Applies a rolling, three-year historical charge-off rate to pools of non-classified loans

 

   

Additional Factors Component – The loan and lease portfolios are broken down into multiple homogenous sub classifications, upon which multiple factors (such as delinquency trends, economic conditions, loan terms, credit grade, state of origination, industry, other relevant information and regulatory environment) are evaluated, resulting in an allowance amount for each of the sub classifications. The sum of these amounts comprises the Additional Factors Component.

 

   

Unallocated Component – This amount represents a reserve against all loans for factors not included in the components mentioned above.

As part of the process of allocating the allowance to the different segments of the loan and lease portfolio, Management considers certain credit quality indicators. For the commercial mortgage, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments, periodic reviews of the individual loans are performed by both in-house staff as well as external loan reviewers. The result of these reviews is reflected in the risk grade assigned to each loan. These internally assigned grades are as follows:

 

   

Pass – Loans considered to be satisfactory with no indications of deterioration.

 

   

Special mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

   

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

   

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Consumer credit exposure, which includes residential mortgages, home equity lines and loans, leases and consumer loans, are assigned a credit risk profile based on payment activity.

Refer to Note 5-G in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding credit quality indicators associated with the bank’s loan and lease portfolio.

 

12


Portfolio Segmentation – The Corporation’s loan and lease portfolio is divided into specific segments of loans and leases having similar characteristics. These segments are as follows:

 

   

Commercial mortgage

 

   

Home equity lines and loans

 

   

Residential mortgage

 

   

Construction

 

   

Commercial and industrial

 

   

Consumer

 

   

Leases

Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the details of the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio, broken down by portfolio segment.

Impairment Measurement In accordance with guidance provided by ASC 310-10, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, Management employs one of three methods to determine and measure impairment:

 

   

the Present Value of Future Cash Flow Method;

 

   

the Fair Value of Collateral Method;

 

   

the Observable Market Price of a Loan Method.

To perform an impairment analysis, the Corporation reviews a loan’s internally assigned grade, its outstanding balance, guarantors, collateral, strategy, and a current report of the action being implemented.

Based on the nature of the specific loans, one of the impairment methods is chosen for the respective loan and any impairment is determined, based on criteria established in ASC 310-10.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”s) - The Corporation follows guidance provided by ASC 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.” A restructuring of a debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider in the normal course of business. A concession may include an extension of repayment terms which would not normally be granted, a reduction of interest rate or the forgiveness of principal and/or accrued interest. If the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor has granted a concession, the Corporation will make the necessary disclosures related to the TDR. In certain cases, a modification may be made in an effort to retain a customer who is not experiencing financial difficulty. This type of modification is not considered to be a TDR. Once a loan or lease has been modified and is considered a TDR, it is reported as an impaired loan or lease. If the loan or lease deemed a TDR has performed for at least six months at the level prescribed by the modification, it is not considered to be non-performing; however, it will generally continue to be reported as impaired. Loans and leases that have performed for at least six months are reported as TDRs in compliance with modified terms .

Refer to Notes 5-C and 5-H in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Bank’s TDRs.

Charge-off Policy - The Bank’s charge-off policy is that, on a periodic basis, not less often than quarterly, delinquent and non-performing loans that exceed the following limits are considered for charge-off:

 

   

Open-ended consumer loans exceeding 180 days past due.

 

   

Closed-ended consumer loans exceeding 120 days past due.

 

   

All commercial/business purpose loans exceeding 180 days past due.

 

   

All leases exceeding 120 days past due.

Any other loan or lease, for which Management has reason to believe collectibility is unlikely, and for which sufficient collateral does not exist, is also charged off.

Refer to Notes 5-G in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Bank’s charge-offs

Asset Quality and Analysis of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 2010, credit quality on the overall loan and lease portfolio remains stable as total non-performing loans and leases of $9.5 million represents 79 basis points of portfolio loans and leases, as compared to 78 basis points or $6.9 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the non-performing loans and leases from $6.9 million as of December 31, 2009 to $9.8 million as of December 31, 2010 is related to a $2.0 million increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans, a $469 thousand increase in non-performing commercial and industrial loans, a $362 thousand increase in non-performing home equity loans and lines, and a $452 thousand increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by a $393 thousand decrease in non-performing construction loans. As of December 31, 2010, these changes include $2.5 million of loans acquired in the Merger.

The provision for loan and lease losses for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $9.9 million, $6.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan and lease losses of $10.3 million represents 0.86% of portfolio loans and leases, as compared to the allowance, as of December 31, 2009, of $10.4 million, which represented 1.18% of portfolio loans and leases as of that date. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of portfolio loans and leases from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 reflects the effect of the acquisition of $274.5 million of

 

13


loans from FKF, which, in accordance with GAAP, were recorded at their fair values with no carryover of their associated allowance. No additional provision was recorded related to the acquired loans.

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had OREO valued at $2.5 million, as compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2009. Included in the balance as of December 31, 2010, were four properties, totaling $1.3 million that resulted from the foreclosure of loans acquired in the Merger. All properties are recorded at their fair value less cost to sell.

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $6.6 million of TDR’s, of which $4.7 million are in compliance with the modified terms, and hence, excluded from non-performing loans and leases. As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had $3.9 million of TDR’s, of which $1.9 million were in compliance with the modified terms, and as such, were excluded from non-performing loans and leases.

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $13.4 million of impaired loans and leases which includes $6.6 million of TDRs. Impaired loans and leases are those for which it is probable that the Corporation will not be able to collect all scheduled principal and interest in accordance with the original terms of the loans and leases. Impaired loans and leases as of December 31, 2009 totaled $6.2 million. Refer to Notes 5-H in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the Bank’s impaired loans and leases.

The Corporation continues to be diligent in its credit underwriting process and very proactive with its loan review process, including the services of an independent outside loan review firm, which helps identify developing credit issues. These proactive steps include the procurement of additional collateral (preferably outside the current loan structure) whenever possible and frequent contact with the borrower. Management believes that timely identification of credit issues and appropriate actions early in the process serve to mitigate overall losses.

The list below identifies certain key characteristics of the Corporation’s loan and lease portfolio. Refer to the loan and lease portfolio tables in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 

   

Portfolio Loans and Leases – The Corporation’s $1.2 billion loan portfolio is predominantly based in the Corporation’s traditional market areas of Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties of Pennsylvania and in the greater Philadelphia area which have not experienced the real estate price appreciation and subsequent decline that many other areas of the country have experienced. However, this area is not immune from these tough economic times. The Corporation has observed a slow-down in new construction in the local area and some home value reductions, but this has not had a significant impact on the Corporation’s loan quality ratios relative to the loan portfolio.

 

   

Concentrations – The Corporation has a significant portion of its portfolio loans (excluding leases) in real estate-related loans. As of December 31, 2010, loans secured by real estate were $909.9 million or 75.7% of the total loan portfolio of $1.20 billion.

A predominant percentage of the Corporation’s real estate exposure, both commercial and residential, is within Pennsylvania. Management is aware of this concentration and mitigates this risk to the extent possible in many ways, including the underwriting and assessment of the borrower’s capacity to repay, equity in the underlying real estate collateral and a review of a borrower’s global cash flows. The Corporation has recourse against a substantial majority of the loans in the portfolio.

 

   

Construction The construction portfolio of $45.4 million accounts for 3.8% of the total loan and lease portfolio at December 31, 2010, an increase of $7.0 million from $38.4 million as of December 31, 2009.

The Bank’s construction portfolio, which consists of residential site development loans, commercial construction loans and loans for construction of individual homes, had a delinquency rate, as of December 31, 2010, of 4.25%, as compared to a delinquency rate of 8.28% as of December 31, 2009.

 

   

Residential Mortgages – Residential mortgage loans were $262.0 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $151.3 million from the $110.7 million at December 31, 2009. This increase is largely attributable to the loans acquired in the Merger and the Corporation’s decision to retain in its portfolio, rather than sell to Fannie Mae, a larger portion of the residential mortgages originated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, than were sold during the same period in 2009. The residential mortgage portfolio had a delinquency rate of 1.50% as of December 31, 2010 as compared to 2.59% as of December 31, 2009. The Corporation believes it is well protected with its collateral position on this portfolio. The residential mortgage segment

 

14


 

accounts for 21.9% of the total loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2010.

 

   

Commercial Mortgages – The performance in the $385.6 million commercial mortgage portfolio, representing 32.2% of the total loan and lease portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, is stable. This segment of the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio grew $120.6 million, or 45.5%, from December 31, 2009. This increase is largely attributable to the loans acquired in the Merger, as well as organic growth. The delinquency rate in the portfolio as of December 31, 2010 was 0.58% as compared to 0.60% as of December 31, 2009. The borrowers comprising this segment of the portfolio generally have strong, global cash flows which have remained stable in this tough economic environment.

 

   

Commercial and Industrial – The performance in the $239.3 million commercial and industrial portfolio, representing 20.0% of the total loan and lease portfolio at December 31, 2010, remains stable with a delinquency rate of approximately 1.20%. This segment of the total loan and lease portfolio increased 2.6% or $6.1 million from December 31, 2009, largely due to loans acquired in the Merger, and consists of loans to privately held institutions, family businesses, non-profit institutions and private banking relationships. While certain of these loans are collateralized by real estate, others are collateralized by non-real estate business assets, including accounts receivable and inventory.

 

   

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit – The Home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio has increased $38.8 million or 21.8% from $178.1 million at December 31, 2009 to $216.9 million at December 31, 2010, largely due to the loans acquired in the Merger. The delinquency level in the portfolio is 1.35% at December 31, 2010, as compared to 0.96% as of December 31, 2009. The segment represents 18.1% of the total loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2010.

 

   

Consumer loans – The Corporation’s portfolio of consumer loans was $12.2 million as of December 31, 2010, a slight decrease of $277 thousand from the $12.5 million at December 31, 2009. The consumer portfolio had a delinquency rate of 0.47% as of December 31, 2010 as compared to 0.63% as of December 31, 2009.

 

   

Leasing – As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation’s $35.4 million national leasing portfolio consists of over 3,550 equipment financing leases to customers with initial lease terms of 24 to 60 months and yields significantly higher than other loans in the Corporation’s portfolio. Approximately 56% of the Corporation’s leases are in 7 states, with California accounting for the largest percentage of approximately 13%.

The lease portfolio balance as of December 31, 2010 was down $12.4 million, to $35.4 million from $47.8 million as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the lease portfolio made up 3.0% of the total loan and lease portfolio as compared to 5.4% as of December 31, 2009. The rate of growth within the leasing portfolio has been intentionally reduced and tighter underwriting standards have been implemented over the past 24 months which has helped reduce lease delinquencies from 3.4% at December 31, 2009 to 2.0% at December 31, 2010. During 2008 and 2009, in order to mitigate further potential losses, the Corporation reduced the number of broker relationships, curtailed lease originations in certain geographic regions, reduced the maximum dollar amount of each lease and made changes to equipment categories that qualify for new originations. These adjustments improved overall lease portfolio performance as net charge-offs declined each quarter since December 31, 2009. Net charge-offs were $763 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to $199 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2010.

2010 Compared to 2009

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, non-interest income was $29.4 million, an increase of $905 thousand or 3.2% from the $28.5 million for the same period in 2009. The primary factors for this increase were the fees for wealth management services of $15.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 9.3% as compared to $14.2 million for the same period in 2009. Gain on the sale of investment securities available for sale of $2.5 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $549 thousand, or 29.6% above the $1.9 million from the same period in 2009 and $2.3 million of service charges on deposits, a $356 thousand, or 18.3% increase from the $2.0 million for the same period in 2009, also contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in the gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 of $1.3 million, to $4.7 million, as compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2009.

The increase in Wealth Management fees is directly related to the $541 million increase in wealth assets under management, administration and supervision during 2010 to $3.4 billion, as of December 31, 2010, from $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2009. This increase is due largely to the success of new initiatives within the division and asset appreciation resulting from improvements in the financial markets

The increase in the gain on sale of investments is the result of the Management’s decision to adjust the investment portfolio mix, while the increase in service charges on deposit accounts is largely due to the addition of the eight full-service branches acquired in the Merger, along with other increased deposit activity. The decrease in the gain on sale of residential mortgage loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009 was due to decreased origination activity in 2010 as compared to 2009 related to the rate environment, as well as Management’s decision to retain, in its portfolio, a larger portion of the residential mortgage loans originated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, rather than sell them to Fannie Mae, as compared to the same period in 2009. The value of mortgages originated for resale (servicing retained and servicing released) in 2010 of $157.6 million was 42.3% lower than the $273.0 million originated for resale in 2009.

2009 Compared to 2008

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, non-interest income was $28.5 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 32.6%, as compared to the $21.5 million for the same period in 2008. The primary factors for this increase were the gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans of $6.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $4.7 million as compared the $1.3 million recorded for the same period in 2008, along with and a $1.9 million gain on the sale of investments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, an increase of $1.7 million from the $230 thousand recorded for the same period in 2008. Fees for Wealth Management services of $14.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, were $336 thousand, or 2.4% above the $13.8 million recorded for the same period in 2008, due primarily to a full year of revenue for Lau Associates and The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware along with the success of the newly established BMT Asset Management.

2010 Compared to 2009

Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, was $58.0 million, an increase of $11.4 million, or 24.6%, as compared to the same period in 2009, partially due to the $5.7 million due diligence and merger-related expenses. Merger-related expenses consisted primarily of investment banking, legal, employee severance, systems conversion cost and vendor termination fees. In addition, salaries and wages for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 increased $2.6 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the same period in 2009 due to the addition of FKF’s eight full-service branch locations. Increases in the other expense categories are a direct result of the Merger. These include FDIC expense, occupancy, furniture, fixture and equipment and other operating expenses. FDIC expense increased $317 thousand or, 25.6%, to $1.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2009. Occupancy expense increased $620 thousand, or 17.0%, to $4.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2009. Furniture, fixture and equipment expenses increased $371 thousand, or 15.4%, to $2.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2009. Other operating expenses, which also increased as a result of increased processing cost due to the Merger, are detailed in Note 21 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

2009 Compared to 2008

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, non-interest expense was $46.5 million, an increase of $7.9 million or 20.9% as compared to $38.7 million for the same period in 2008. Primary factors contributing to this increase include related support costs associated with residential mortgage originations, the opening of our West Chester Regional Banking Center on January 1, 2009 and FDIC insurance costs rising $1.3 million, or 275.8% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 from $472 thousand for the same period in 2008. The FDIC insurance cost includes a one-time special assessment of $540 thousand. Professional fees increased $458 thousand, or 29.5%, to $2.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $1.6 million, for the same period in 2008. Due diligence and merger related expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased $460 thousand to $616 thousand from $156 for the same period in 2008. Much of this increase is directly related to expenses associated with the Merger.

Amortization of mortgage servicing rights for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 increased by $486 thousand, or 132.4%, to $853 thousand, from the $367 thousand recorded for the same period in 2008. This increase was directly related to the increased refinancing activity that occurred in 2009 as a result of the low interest rate environment.

I NCOME T AXES

 

Income taxes for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 were $4.5 million as compared to $5.5 million and $5.0 million for the same periods in 2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax rate for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was 33.0%, 34.7% and 35.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the rate for the same period in 2009, was due to an increase in the level of tax-free income from municipal investment securities, bank owned life insurance, and the utilization of a capital loss carry-forward and other items. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the rate for the same period in 2008, was due to an increase in the level of tax-free income from municipal investment securities.

Asset Changes

Total assets, as of December 31, 2010, increased $492.9 million to $1.7 billion from $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2009. This increase is largely the result of the Merger.

Investment Portfolio - The investment securities portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, increased $108.8 million or 52.3% to $317.1 million from $208.2 million as of December 31, 2009. In addition to the effect of the Merger, continued deposit inflows during 2010 resulted in the purchase of additional short term investment securities. The investment securities portfolio as of December 31, 2010 was 18.3% of total assets, which provides the Corporation with liquidity and the opportunity to borrow additional funds, if needed, from the FHLB.

Portfolio Loans and Leases - The loan and lease portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, increased $311.0 million or 35.1% to $1.196 billion from $885.7 million as of December 31, 2009, largely as a result of the Merger and new business development initiatives. The loan and lease portfolio, excluding leases, increased $323.3 million or 38.6% to $1.16 billion as of December 31, 2010, as compared to $839.0 million as of December 31, 2009. Within the loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009, commercial and industrial loans increased $6.0 million, or 2.6%, commercial mortgages increased $120.6 million, or 45.5%, residential mortgages increased $151.3 million, or 136.8%, and home equity loans and leases increased $39.0 million or 21.9%. Partially offsetting these increases, the lease portfolio declined $12.4 million or 25.9% during 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the lease portfolio was 3.0% of total loans and leases, as compared to 5.4% as of December 31, 2009. Higher credit standards and other underwriting changes contributed to a reduction in new lease volume, resulting in lower net lease balances as of December 31, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009.

The increase in goodwill and other intangible assets of $13.0 million or 109.2% to $24.7 million as of December 31, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009, is largely the result of the Merger along with the earn-out payment in connection with the purchase of Lau Associates, partially offset by the amortization of certain identifiable intangibles. See Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional details.

Mortgage servicing rights increased $876 thousand, or 27.5%, to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2010, from $4.1 million as of December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily the result of MSRs acquired in the Merger, additional volume in loans sold with servicing retained, as well as the partial recovery of temporary impairment of MSRs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

Liability Changes

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2010 increased $435.5 million, or 38.4%, to $1.570 billion, from $1.134 billion as of December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the Merger, but also contributing to this increase was an inflow of deposits from existing customers.

Deposits - Total deposits increased $403.5 million or 43.0% to $1.34 billion as of December 31, 2010 from $937.9 million as of December 31, 2009. Core deposits (total deposits less wholesale deposits), which include market rate certificates of deposits and demand accounts, increased $374.5 million, while wholesale deposits increased $29.0 million, as of December 31, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009.

Borrowings - Short-term and other borrowings, which include repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and a commercial mortgage loan, increased to $170.2 million as of December 31, 2010, a $23.3 million increase, as compared to December 31, 2009. This increase is primarily due to the $105.7 million of FHLB advances acquired in the Merger, substantially offset by repayment of maturing advances. During 2010, as FHLB advances matured, they were not replaced. The growth in deposits combined with the sluggish loan demand did not necessitate any additional advances. See the Liquidity Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 22 for further details on the Corporation’s FHLB available borrowing capacity.

Debentures - As of December 31, 2010 the Corporation had $12.0 million of junior subordinated debentures and $22.5 million of subordinated debentures, as compared to $22.5 million of subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2009. The addition of the $12.0 million of junior subordinated debentures was the result of the Merger. Refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Period end balance

The Mortgage Banking Segment’s pre-tax segment profit (“PTSP”) of $2.8 million in for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 decreased by $1.0 million from the PTSP of $3.8 million for the same period in 2009 due primarily to a $1.3 million decrease in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans, partially offset by a $492 thousand decrease in salaries and wages expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. The decline in gain on sale of residential mortgages was directly related to a 42.3% reduction in the volume of residential mortgage loans originated for resale during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as the refinancing activity subsided from the high levels seen in 2009. However, the gain in terms of basis points increased for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in each of the prior

 

20


two years. This was largely due to the higher rates paid by Fannie Mae, which were driven by market conditions.

The Mortgage Banking Segment had a very strong year in 2009 with a PTSP of $3.8 million, as compared to a pre-tax segment loss (“PTSL”) of $198 thousand for the same period in 2008. This increase was due primarily to a $4.7 million increase in gain on sale of residential mortgage loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The low interest rate environment during 2009 caused mortgage originations to rise 167% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008.

Mortgage originations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 were $221.9 million, a decrease of $52.2 million from the $291.6 million originated during the same period in 2009 and an increase of $130.2 million from the $109.2 million originated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The value of mortgages originated for resale (servicing retained and servicing released) in 2010 of $157.6 million was 42.3% lower than the $273.0 million originated for resale in 2009 and $83.1 million higher than the $74.5 million originated for resale in 2008. These totals are reflective of the changing interest rate environment which made refinancing of mortgage loans more attractive during 2009 and 2010, as compared to 2008. In addition, tax incentives related to first-time homebuyers accounted for additional increases in originations. Furthermore, the Corporation’s decision to retain in its portfolio a larger portion of the residential mortgages originated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 than it did in 2009, as opposed to selling them to Fannie Mae, contributed to the decrease in gain on sale of mortgages for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.

Wealth Management Segment Activity

The Wealth Management Segment reported a 2010 PTSP of $4.5 million, a $655 thousand or 16.9% million increase over 2009. The increase in PTSP was primarily due to a $1.3 million or 9.3% increase in fees for Wealth Management services. The increase in Wealth Management segment revenue for 2010 as compared to 2009 was due largely to the success of new initiatives within the division and asset appreciation resulting from improvements in the financial markets.

The Wealth Management segment reported a 2009 PTSP of $3.9 million, a 29.0% or a $1.6 million decrease as compared to 2008. The decrease in PTSP was primarily due to a $2.0 million or 23.2% increase in Wealth Management Segment overall expense, due to the formation of The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware and the establishment of BMT Asset Management, partially offset by a $336 thousand or 2.4% increase in revenue.

Wealth Management assets under management, administration, supervision and brokerage were as follows:

 

     As of December 31,  
(in millions)    2010      2009      200  

Total wealth assets under management, administration, supervision and brokerage

   $ 3,412.9       $ 2,871.2       $ 2,146.4   
                          

Banking Segment Activity

Banking segment data as presented in Note 28 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements indicates a PTSP of $7.8 million in 2010, $9.0 million in 2009 and $9.9 million in 2008. See Components of Net Income earlier in this documentation for a discussion of the Banking Segment.

C APITAL

 

Consolidated shareholder’s equity of the Corporation was $161.4 million, or 9.3% of total assets, as of December 31, 2010, as compared to $103.9 million, or 8.4% of total assets, as of December 31, 2009.

In June 2009, the Corporation filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) which allows the Corporation to raise additional capital through offers and sales of registered securities consisting of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, stock purchase contracts or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. Using the prospectus in the Shelf Registration Statement, together with applicable prospectus supplements, the Corporation may sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, any amount of such securities in a dollar amount up to $90,000,000, in the aggregate.

On May 18, 2010, through a registered direct stock offering of securities registered in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Corporation issued 1,548,167 common shares, at a price of $17.00 per share, raising $24.7 million after deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses.

In addition, in connection with the Merger, the Corporation issued 1,630,053 common shares, valued at $26.5 million, to former shareholders of FKF. These shares were registered on an S-4 registration statement filed by the Corporation in January 2010.

On July 20, 2009, the Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement in order to register 850,000 common shares of its stock under the Shelf Registration Statement in connection with a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for the grant of a request for waiver (“RFW”) above the Plan maximum investment of $120 thousand per

 

21


account per year. An RFW is granted based on a variety of factors, including the Corporation’s current and projected capital needs, prevailing market prices of the Corporation’s common stock and general economic and market conditions.

The Plan is intended to allow both existing shareholders and new investors to easily and conveniently increase their investment in the Corporation without incurring many of the fees and commissions normally associated with brokerage transactions. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation issued 119,175 and 81,641 shares, respectively, and raised $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, through the Plan.

In connection with the Merger with FKF, the Corporation acquired FKF Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust formed under Delaware law that became an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Corporation. The Corporation owns all the common shares of the Trust, which totals $928 thousand, as of December 31, 2010 and is recorded in other investments in the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. On August 21, 1997, the Trust issued $16.2 million of preferred securities (the “Preferred Securities”) at an interest rate of 9.7%, with a scheduled maturity of August 15, 2027. Simultaneously, the proceeds from the issue, along with $502 thousand cash were invested in junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) that have been assumed by the Corporation. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Corporation. On November 15, 2001 and June 25, 2008, FKF purchased $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of the Preferred Securities. The net carrying value of the Debentures of $12.0 million contributes to both the Tier I and Tier II capital of the Corporation.

Also affecting regulatory capital ratios is the $9.7 million increase in goodwill recorded in connection with the Merger. In addition, under the terms of the Lau Associates acquisition, the Corporation has one remaining earn-out payment, which increases goodwill, due in the first quarter of 2012 (which will be recorded at the end of 2011), with the maximum purchase price not exceeding $19 million. As of December 31, 2010, $13.2 million has been accrued or paid for the Lau acquisition. Goodwill is excluded from capital in the calculation of the regulatory capital ratios. See Notes 1-U and Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Corporation’s treatment of goodwill and other intangible assets related to this transaction.

The Corporation’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and the minimum capital requirements to be considered “Well Capitalized” by banking regulators are displayed in Note 25 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 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.

L IQUIDITY

 

The Corporation has significant sources and availability of liquidity at December 31, 2010 as discussed in this section. The liquidity position is managed on a daily basis as part of the daily settlement function and on a monthly basis as part of the asset liability management process. The Corporation’s primary liquidity is maintained by managing its deposits along with the utilization of purchased federal funds, borrowings from the FHLB and utilization of other wholesale funding sources. Secondary sources of liquidity include the sale of investment securities and certain loans in the secondary market.

Other wholesale funding sources include certificates of deposit from brokers, including CDARS, PLGIT, IND and IDC, generally available in blocks of $1.0 million or more. Funds obtained through these programs increased by approximately $37.6 million during 2010.

Maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $611.3 million, with an unused borrowing availability of approximately $444.8 million, and availability at the Federal Reserve was approximately $55.0 million. Overnight Fed Funds lines consist of lines from 6 banks totaling $75.0 million. Quarterly, ALCO reviews the Corporation’s liquidity needs and reports its findings to the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2010 the Corporation held approximately $14.2 million of FHLB stock. On December 23, 2008, the FHLB announced that it would voluntarily suspend the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock until further notice. There were no dividends paid on FHLB stock in 2010 or 2009, no repurchases of capital stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and only limited repurchases of capital stock during the same period in 2010. The Corporation’s use of FHLB borrowings as a source of funds is effectively more expensive due to the suspension of FHLB dividends and the related capital stock redemption restrictions. It should be noted that the FHLB capital ratios remained above regulatory guidelines. The suspension of dividends and repurchase of excess capital stock will continue until further notice by the FHLB.

On July 6, 2009, the Corporation entered into an agreement with IDC to provide up to $10 million of money market deposits at an agreed upon rate currently at 1.00%. The agreement with IDC was amended at the end of 2010, reducing the amount to $5 million. The Corporation had approximately $5.1 million in balances at December 31, 2010 under this program which are classified on the balance

 

22


sheet as other wholesale deposits. The Corporation can request an increase in the agreement amount as it deems necessary.

The Corporation’s investment portfolio of $317.1 million at December 31, 2010 was approximately 18.3% of total assets. Some of these investments were in short-term, high-quality, liquid investments to earn more than the 25 basis points currently earned on Fed Funds. The Corporation’s policy is to keep the investment portfolio at a minimum of 10% of total assets. The investment portfolio provides the Corporation with the opportunity to utilize the securities to borrow additional funds through the FHLB, Federal Reserve or through other repurchase agreements.

The Corporation continually evaluates the capacity and the cost of continuing to fund earning asset growth with wholesale deposits. The Corporation believes that it has sufficient capacity to fund expected 2011 earning asset growth with wholesale sources, along with deposit growth from its expanded branch system.

In November 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“FDIC”) approved Section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Act providing temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest-bearing transaction accounts. This coverage became effective December 31, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2012. Excluded from this coverage are negotiable orders of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts and interest on lawyer trust accounts (“IOLTA”).

The Corporation becomes party to financial instruments 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 and create off-balance sheet risk.

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.

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.

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. Collateral requirements for off-balance sheet items are generally based upon the same standards and policies as booked loans. 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.

O THER I NFORMATION

 

Regulatory Matters and Pending Legislation

The Corporation is not aware of any other current specific recommendations by regulatory authorities or proposed legislation which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations, however 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.

On November 9, 2010, the FDIC approved proposed rules related to the calculation of the deposit insurance assessment. The proposal would shift the basis for the assessment away from an institution’s total domestic deposits, to its average total assets less average tangible equity. The FDIC is also proposing that the new assessment method be implemented, effective April 1, 2011. This shift in assessment basis would benefit community banks by placing more of the burden on the large, multi-national banks, which, until now, were only assessed on their domestic deposit base.

E FFECTS OF I NFLATION

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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Corporation’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Corporation; provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provide a reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Corporation are only being made in accordance with authorizations of Management and directors of the Corporation; and provide a reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by Management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are noted.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

Management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, in relation to the criteria for effective control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, Management concludes that, as of December 31, 2010, its system of internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 has been audited by KPMG LLP, (“KPMG”) the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm responsible for auditing the Corporation’s financial statements. KPMG has issued an attestation report on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation and subsidiaries (the Corporation) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, changes in shareholders’ equity, and comprehensive income for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation:

We have audited Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation’s (the Corporation) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, changes in shareholders’ equity, and comprehensive income for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated March 16, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. S UMMARY OF S IGNIFICANT A CCOUNTING P OLICIES

 

A. Nature of Business

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 17 full service branches and seven retirement community offices throughout Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. In 2008, the Corporation opened the Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware, to further its long-term growth strategy, and diversify its asset base and client accounts. The common stock of the Corporation trades on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol BMTC.

On July 1, 2010, the merger of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (“FKF”) with and into the Corporation (the “Merger”), and the two step merger of FKF’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First Keystone Bank (“FKB”) with and into the Bank, were completed. The acquisition of FKF, a federally chartered thrift institution with assets of approximately $480 million, enabled the Corporation to increase its regional footprint with the addition of eight full service branch locations, primarily in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

The Corporation operates in a highly competitive market area that 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 Commission (“SEC”), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Federal Reserve and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.

B. Basis of Presentation

The accounting policies of the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and predominant practice within the banking industry.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

In preparing the Financial Statements, the Corporation is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that in 2011, actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Amounts subject to significant estimates are items such as the allowance for loan and lease losses and lending related commitments, goodwill and intangible assets, pension and post-retirement obligations, the fair value of financial instruments and other-than-temporary impairments. Among other effects, such changes could result in future impairments of investment securities, goodwill and intangible assets and establishment of allowances for loan losses and lending related commitments as well as increased pension and post-retirement expense.

C. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest –bearing deposits, federal funds sold and money market funds with other banks with original maturities of three months or less. Cash balances required to meet regulatory reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve Board amounted to $4.6 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

D. Investment Securities – Available for Sale

Investment securities which are held for indefinite periods of time, which the Corporation intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or which may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, increases in capital requirements, or other similar factors, are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains and losses for such securities, net of tax, are required to be recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and excluded from determination of net income. Gains or losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and cost of the securities sold, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, using the specific identification method.

Prior to April 1, 2009, declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that were deemed to be

 

35


other than temporary were reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, the Corporation considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Beginning in April 1, 2009, the Corporation implemented ASC 370-10-65-1 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” that amended the accounting for recognizing other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities and expanded disclosure requirements for other-than-temporarily impaired debt and equity securities. Under the new guidance, companies are required to record other-than-temporary impairment charges, through earnings, if they have the intent to sell, or will more likely than not be required to sell, an impaired debt security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, companies are required to record other-than-temporary impairment charges through earnings for the amount of credit losses, regardless of the intent or requirement to sell. Credit loss is measured as the difference between the present value of an impaired debt security’s cash flows and its amortized cost basis. Non-credit related write-downs to fair value must be recorded as decreases to accumulated other comprehensive income as long as the Corporation has no intent or it is more likely than not that the Corporation would not be required to sell an impaired security before a recovery of amortized cost basis. Since the Corporation did not have any other-than-temporary impairment for 2010 or 2009, the adoption of this guidance had no impact.

E. Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized temporary losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

F. Portfolio Loans and Leases

The Corporation grants construction, commercial, residential mortgage and consumer loans to customers primarily in southeastern Pennsylvania and small ticket equipment leasing to customers nationwide. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan and lease portfolio, its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is substantially dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions of the region.

Loans and leases that the Corporation has the intention and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off, generally are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan and lease losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and leases. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

Loan and lease origination fees and loan and lease origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on loans and leases is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in the process of collection. Loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued, but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. All interest accrued, but not collected on leases that are placed on non-accrual status is not reversed against interest until the lease is charged-off at 120 days delinquent. The interest received on these non-accrual loans and leases is applied to reduce the carrying value of loans and leases. Loans and leases are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for at least six months and future payments are reasonably assured.

In connection with the Merger, the Corporation acquired $274.5 million of loans from FKF. Loans acquired in the Merger were recorded at their fair value. The difference between the recorded fair value and the principal value is accreted to interest income over the contractual lives of the loans in accordance with ASC 310-20 (formerly SFAS 91). Certain acquired loans which were deemed to be credit impaired at acquisition are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, as discussed below, in subsection I of this footnote.

G. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“allowance”) is established through a provision for loan and lease losses (“provision”) charged as an expense. Loans and leases are charged against the allowance when the Corporation believes that the principal is uncollectible. The allowance is maintained at a level that the Corporation believes is sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit losses.

The Corporation’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 significant estimates by the Corporation. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing these estimates including specific terms and conditions of loans and leases, underwriting standards, delinquency statistics, historical charge-off history by portfolio segment, industry concentration, overall exposure to a single customer, adequacy of collateral, the dependence on collateral, and results of internal loan review, including a borrower’s perceived financial and management strengths, the amounts and timing of the present value of future cash flows, and access to additional funds.

As part of the process of allocating the allowance to the different segments of the loan and lease portfolio,

 

36


Management considers certain credit quality indicators. For the commercial mortgage, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments, periodic reviews of the individual loans are performed by both in-house staff as well as external loan reviewers. The result of these reviews is reflected in the risk grade assigned to each loan. In addition, the remaining segments of the loan and lease portfolio, which include residential mortgage, home equity lines and loans, consumer loans, and leases, are allocated portions of the allowance based on their performance status.

The evaluation process also considers the impact of competition, current and expected economic conditions, national and international events, the regulatory and legislative environment 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 the Corporation estimates, an additional provision for loan and lease losses may be required that might adversely affect the Corporation’s results of operations in future periods. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

H. Other Investments and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Other investments include Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investment, and equity stocks without a readily determinable fair market value. The Bank’s investments in equity stocks include those issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”), the Federal Reserve Bank and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank. The Bank is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of its borrowing funds from the FHLB. As of December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Bank’s FHLB stock was $14.2 million. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted and there is no market for these securities. In 2008, the FHLB reported significant losses due to numerous factors, including other-than-temporary impairment charges on its portfolio of private-label mortgage-backed securities. The FHLB announced a capital restoration plan in February of 2009 which restricts it from repurchasing or redeeming capital stock or paying dividends. Further deterioration in the financial condition of the FHLB may result in an other-than-temporary impairment charge related to the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock. For further information on the FHLB stock, see Note 10 – Short-Term and Other Borrowings.

I. Impaired Loans and Leases

A loan or lease 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 and lease agreement. When assessing impairment, Management considers various factors. Factors include payment status, value of collateral and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans and leases that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.

The Corporation 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 by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

In connection with the Merger, certain loans were acquired which exhibited deteriorated credit quality since origination and for which the Bank does not expect to collect all contractual payments. Accounting for these purchased credit-impaired loans is done in accordance with ASC 310-30. The loans were recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on non-accrual status and have no accretable yield.

J. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”s)

A TDR occurs when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, modifies the original terms of the loan or lease or grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise have granted. A concession may include an extension of repayment terms, a reduction of interest rate or the forgiveness of principal and/or accrued interest. If the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor has granted a concession, the Corporation will make the necessary disclosures related to the TDR. In certain cases, a modification may be made in an effort to retain a customer who is not experiencing financial difficulty. This type of modification is not considered to be a TDR.

K. Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

OREO consists of assets that the Corporation has acquired through foreclosure, by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by taking possession of assets that were used as loan collateral. The Corporation reports OREO on the balance sheet within other assets, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell, adjusted periodically based on current appraisals. Costs relating to the development or improvement of assets, as well as the costs required to obtain legal title to

 

37


the property are capitalized, while costs related to holding the property are charged to expense as incurred.

L. Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and rent are recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the expected lease term or the estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter.

M. Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Corporation has three defined benefit pension plans and one postretirement benefit plan and a 401(K) plan as discussed in Note 15 – 401(K) Plan and in Note 16 – Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans. Net pension expense consists of service cost, interest cost, return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost, amortization of transition obligations and amortization of net actuarial gains and losses. The Corporation accrues pension costs as incurred.

On February 12, 2008, the Corporation amended the Qualified Defined Pension Plan 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 contribution effective April 1, 2008. Additionally, the Corporation created a non-qualified defined benefit pension plan for 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.

N. Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

In connection with the Merger, the Bank acquired $18.7 million of BOLI.

BOLI is recorded at its cash surrender value on the balance sheet. Income from BOLI is tax-exempt and included as a component of other non-interest income.

O. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

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.

All share-based payments, including grants of stock options, restricted stock awards and performance-based stock awards, are recognized as compensation expense in the statement of income at their fair value. The fair value of stock option grants is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model which considers the expected life of the options, the volatility of stock price, risk-free interest rate and annual dividend yield. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is based on their market value on the grant date, while the fair value of the performance-based stock awards is based on their grant-date market value in addition to the likelihood of attaining certain pre-determined performance goals utilizing the Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Stock-based compensation expense for 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $539 thousand, $386 thousand and $277 thousand, respectively.

P. Earnings Per Common Share

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 that could occur if stock options were exercised and converted into common shares. Proceeds assumed to have been received on such exercise are assumed to be used to purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the average market price during the period, as required by the treasury stock method of accounting. 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.

Q. Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Corporation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the Corporation would more likely than not 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 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Corporation applied these criteria to tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.

R. Revenue Recognition

With the exception of non-accrual loans and leases, the Corporation recognizes all sources of income on the accrual method. Additional information relating to wealth management fee revenue recognition follows:

The Corporation earns Wealth Management fee revenue from a variety of sources including fees from trust administration

 

38


and other related fiduciary services, custody, investment management and advisory services, employee benefit account and IRA administration, estate settlement, tax service fees, shareholder service fees and brokerage. These fees are generally based on asset values and fluctuate with the market. Some of the revenues are not directly tied to asset value but are based on a flat fee for services provided. For many of our revenue sources, amounts are not received in the same accounting period in which they are earned. However, each source of Wealth Management fees is recorded on the accrual method of accounting.

The most significant portion of the Corporation’s Wealth Management fees is derived from trust administration and other related services, custody, investment management and advisory services, and employee benefit account and IRA administration. These fees are generally billed in arrears, based on the market value of assets at the end of the previous billing period. A smaller number of customers are billed in a similar manner, but on a quarterly or annual basis and some revenues are not based on market values.

The balance of the Corporation’s Wealth Management fees include estate settlement fees and tax service fees, which are recorded when the related service is performed and asset management and brokerage fees on non-depository investment products, which are received one month in arrears based on settled transactions but are accrued in the month when the settlement occurs.

Included in other assets on the statement of condition is a Wealth Management fee receivable that reflects the impact of fees earned but not yet collected. This receivable is reviewed quarterly for collectibility.

S. Mortgage Servicing

The Corporation performs various servicing functions on loans owned by others. A fee, usually based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the loan, is received for these services. Gain on sale of loans is based on the specific identification method.

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”s) are recognized as separate assets when rights are retained through the sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized into non-interest expense in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing life of the underlying financial assets.

Servicing assets are evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rate and terms. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized on the income statement to the extent the fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. A valuation allowance is utilized to record temporary impairment in MSRs. Temporary impairment is defined as impairment that is not deemed permanent. Permanent impairment is recorded as a reduction of the MSR and is not reversed.

T. Statement of Cash Flows

The Corporation’s statement of cash flows details operating, investing and financing activities during the reported periods.

U. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Corporation accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” The goodwill and intangible assets as of December 31, 2010 other than MSR’s in Note 1-S above are related to the acquisition of Lau Associates, which is a component of the Wealth Management Segment and FKF, a component of the Banking Segment. The amount of goodwill initially recorded reflects the value assigned to the asset at the time of investment. Goodwill impairment tests are performed at least annually, or when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the acquisition or investment.

The Corporation’s impairment testing methodology is consistent with the methodology prescribed in ASC 350. Other intangible assets include the core deposit intangible, which was acquired in the Merger, customer relationships, a non-competition agreement and a trade name. The core deposit intangible is amortized over a ten year period utilizing a declining balance method. The customer relationships and non-competition agreement intangibles are amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The trade name intangible has an indefinite life and is evaluated for impairment annually.

V. Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

W. New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Adopted:

FASB ASC 860 – Transfers and Servicing

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 related to accounting for transfers of financial assets. The standard amends the derecognition guidance in previous regulatory guidance and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”). The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Early adoption of the standard is prohibited. The Corporation adopted the standard on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

39


FASB ASC 810 – Consolidation – Variable Interest Entities

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 related to amendments to FASB interpretation No. 46(R) (“ASC 810”) which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities (“VIE”s). An entity would consolidate a VIE, as the primary beneficiary, when the entity has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is required. ASC 810 amends Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE. ASC 810 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Corporation adopted the standard on January 1, 2010 and the adoption of this statement did not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-6 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”) was issued in January 2010 to update ASC 820 “Fair Value measurements and Disclosures”. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures (1) for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 including a description of the reason for the transfers and (2) in the reconciliation of Level 3 presenting sales, issuances and settlements gross rather than one net number. ASU 2010-06 also requires clarification of existing disclosures requiring (1) measurement disclosures for each “class” of assets and liabilities (a class being a subset of assets and liabilities within one line item in the statement of financial position) using judgment in determining the appropriate classes and (2) disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for interim and reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity Level 3 which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation made these required disclosures in this Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

FASB ASU Update 2010-18 – Loan Modification

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-18 “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool that is Accounted for as a Single Asset, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (Issue No. 09-1)” amends FASB ASC Subtopic 310-30, Receivables – Loans and Debt Securities acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, so that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under that Subtopic do not result in the removal of the loans from the pool even if the modifications of the loans would otherwise be considering a troubled debt restructuring. A one-time election to terminate accounting for loans in a pool, which may be made on a pool-by-pool basis, is provided upon adoption of the new guidance. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments are effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU has no effect on the Corporation’s balance sheet or results of operations as the Corporation does not account for any of its loans on a pool basis.

FASB ASU Update 2010-20 – Credit Quality Disclosure

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20 “Disclosures about Credit Quality of Financial Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”) was issued July 2010. The ASU requires disclosure related to period-end information (i.e. credit quality information and the ending financing receivable balance segregated by impairment method) in all interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Disclosures of activity that occur during a reporting period are required in interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Corporation adopted ASU 2010-20 and has provided disclosures required by ASU 2010-20 in this Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

2. B USINESS C OMBINATIONS

 

On July 1, 2010, the Merger with FKF, and the two step merger of FKF’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FKB with and into the Bank, were completed. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 3, 2009, by and between the Corporation and FKF (the “Merger Agreement”), shareholders of FKF received 0.6973 shares of the Corporation’s common stock plus $2.06 per share cash consideration for each share of FKF common stock they owned as of the effective date of the Merger. The 85% stock and 15% cash transaction was valued at $31.3 million, based on FKF’s June 30, 2010, closing share price of $13.35 as listed on NASDAQ. The aggregate consideration paid to FKF shareholders consisted of approximately 1.6 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock, valued at approximately $26.4 million, and approximately $4.8 million in cash. FKF employee stock options, valued at approximately $102 thousand, which were fully vested and converted to options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock upon the closing of the Merger, were also included in the total consideration paid. The results of the combined entity’s operations are included in the

Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the period beginning July 1, 2010, the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition of FKF, a federally chartered thrift institution with assets of approximately $480 million, enabled the Corporation to increase its regional footprint with the addition of eight full service branch locations, primarily in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The geographic locations of the acquired branches were such that it was not necessary to close any of the former FKF branches. By expanding into these new areas within Delaware County, the Corporation will be able to extend its successful sales culture as well as offer its reputable wealth management products and other value-added services to a wider segment of the region’s population. In addition, a large majority of the FKF employees were retained, which will allow the Corporation to maintain the valuable customer relationships that FKF was able to build over the past century.

The acquisition of FKF was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration paid were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of approximately $9.7 million, which will not be amortizable and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Corporation allocated the total balance of goodwill recorded in connection with the Merger to its Banking segment. The Corporation also recorded $2.1 million in core deposit intangibles which will be amortized over ten years using a declining balance method.

The fair values listed below are preliminary estimates and are subject to adjustment, however, while they are not expected to be materially different than those shown. Adjustments to the estimates may be made during the twelve months following the date of the Merger.

In connection with the Merger, the consideration paid, and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are summarized in the following table:

In many cases, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and discounting them at appropriate market rates. The most significant category of assets for which this procedure was used was that of acquired loans. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the majority of loans will be accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20 (formerly SFAS 91).

Certain loans, for which specific credit-related deterioration, since origination, was identified, are recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on non-accrual status and have no accretable yield. The Corporation uses the cash basis method of interest income recognition for these impaired loans. The following table details the loans that are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 (formerly SOP 03-3) as of July 1, 2010:

 

Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition

   $ 41,170   

Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference)

     14,856   
        

Expected cash flows at acquisition

     26,314   

Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)

     7,024   
        

Fair value of acquired loans accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30

   $ 19,290   
        

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), there was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses that had been previously recorded by FKF.

In connection with the Merger, the Corporation acquired an investment portfolio with a fair value of $100.9 million. The fair value of the investment portfolio was determined by taking into account market prices obtained from independent valuation sources.

In connection with the acquisition of FKF, the Corporation recorded a deferred income tax asset of $9.4 million related to FKF’s net operating loss carry-forward, as well as other tax attributes of the acquired company, along with the effects of fair value adjustments resulting from applying the acquisition method of accounting.

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from FKF was assumed to approximate their carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit accounts were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The portfolio was segregated into pools based on remaining maturity. For each pool, the projected cash flows from maturing certificates were then calculated based on contractual rates and prevailing market rates. The valuation adjustment for each pool is equal to the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate for a certificate with a corresponding maturity. This valuation adjustment will be accreted to reduce interest expense over the remaining maturities of the respective pools.

Due to the overnight nature of the repurchase agreements acquired from FKF, their carrying value was used to approximate their fair value as of the acquisition date, and hence, no adjustment to fair value was recorded.

The fair value of the FHLB advances took into account the prepayment penalties that would have been assessed as of July 1, 2010, by the FHLB for their redemption. This fair value adjustment to the face value of the borrowings will be accreted to reduce interest expense over the remaining lives of the respective borrowings.

The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was determined taking into account the price to call the instruments. The premium to call the debentures decreases annually until August 2017, at which time they may be called at par. The fair value adjustment will be accreted to reduce interest expense over the periods ending in August 2017.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition of FKF had occurred on both January 1, 2010 and January 1, 2009. This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including purchase accounting fair value adjustments, amortization of core deposit and other intangibles and related income tax effects.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Corporation makes annual earn-out payments based on the performance of the acquired entities. As of December 31, 2010, payments and accruals related to the purchase, totaling $13.2 million have been recorded. There remains one final earn-out payment, due in the first quarter of 2012, based on the 2011 performance. The final payment will not exceed $5.8 million, in accordance with the purchase agreement with Lau, and will be accrued in 2011.

Management evaluates the Corporation’s investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position in order to determine if the decline in market value is other than temporary. The investment portfolio includes debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored agencies, state and local municipalities and other issuers. All investment securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio are highly rated as investment grade. Factors considered in the evaluation include the current economic climate, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost, interest rates and the bond rating of each security. The unrealized losses presented in the tables above are temporary in nature and are primarily related to market interest rates rather than the underlying credit quality of the issuers. None of the investments in the tables above is believed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. Management believes that it is more likely than not that it will be able to hold the securities until recovery of their amortized cost bases.

At December 31, 2010, securities having fair value of $125.0 million were specifically pledged as collateral for public funds, trust deposits, the FRB discount window program, FHLB borrowings and other purposes. The FHLB has a blanket lien on non-pledged, mortgage-related loans and securities as part of the Bank’s borrowing agreement with the FHLB.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment and mortgage-related securities as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Purchased credit-impaired loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis.

As part of the process of allocating the allowance to the different segments of the loan and lease portfolio, Management considers certain credit quality indicators. For the commercial mortgage, construction and commercial and industrial loan segments, periodic reviews of the individual loans are performed by both in-house staff as well as external loan reviewers. The result of these reviews is reflected in the risk grade assigned to each loan. These internally assigned grades are as follows:

 

 

Pass - Loans considered to be satisfactory with no indications of deterioration.

 

 

Special mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

 

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

 

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

In addition, the remaining segments of the loan and lease portfolio, which include residential mortgage, home equity lines and loans, consumer, and leases, are allocated portions of the allowance based on their performance status.

The following tables detail the carrying value of loans and leases by portfolio segment based on the credit quality indicators used to allocate the allowance for loan and lease losses as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

6. O THER R EAL E STATE O WNED

 

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 had $2.5 million in OREO assets at December 31, 2010.

The summary of the change in other real estate owned, which is included as a component of other assets on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, is as follows:

C. Other MSR Information – At December 31, 2010, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of MSRs to immediate 10 and 20 percent adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:

 

(dollars in thousands)

(1)

Represents the weighted average prepayment rate for the life of the MSR asset .

At December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of the mortgage MSRs is $5.8 million, $4.8 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the MSRs for these dates was determined using a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates. Mortgage loan prepayment speed is the annual rate at which borrowers are forecasted to repay their mortgage loan principal and is based on historical experience. The discount rate is used to determine the present value of future net servicing income. Another key assumption in the model is the required rate of return the market would expect for an asset with similar risk. Both assumptions can, and generally will, change quarterly valuations as market conditions and interest rates change.

 

49


These assumptions and sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, 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 MSRs 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.

Maturity range refers to December 31, 2010 balances.

Included in the table above as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are $73.6 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of FHLB advances whereby the FHLB has the option, at predetermined times, to convert the fixed interest rate to an adjustable interest rate indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Corporation has the option to prepay these advances, without penalty, if the FHLB elects to convert the interest rate to an adjustable rate. As of December 31, 2010, substantially all the FHLB advances with this convertible feature are subject to conversion in fiscal 2011. These advances are included in the periods in which they mature, rather than the period in which they are subject to conversion.

C. Other FHLB Information – The Corporation had a maximum borrowing capacity (“MBC”) with the FHLB of approximately $611.3 million as of December 31, 2010 of which the unused capacity was $444.8 million at December 31, 2010. In addition there were $75 million in overnight federal funds line and $55 million of Federal Reserve Discount Window capacity. In connection with its FHLB borrowings, the Corporation is required to hold the capital stock of the FHLB. The amount of capital stock held was $14.2 million at December 31, 2010, and $7.9 million at December 31, 2009. The carrying amount of the FHLB stock approximates its redemption value. On December 23, 2008, the FHLB announced that it would voluntarily suspend the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock until further notice. There were no dividends paid on FHLB stock in 2010 or 2009, no repurchases of capital stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and only limited repurchases of capital stock during the same period in 2010.

The level of required investment in FHLB stock is based on the balance of outstanding loans the Corporation has from the FHLB. Although FHLB stock is a financial instrument that represents an equity interest in the FHLB, it does not have a readily determinable fair value. FHLB stock is generally viewed as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating FHLB stock for impairment, its value should be determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The Corporation regularly reviews financial statements filed by the FHLB. The most recent financial information available as of March 2, 2011 indicates improvement in the FHLB’s net income as well as its capital ratios. In addition, credit-related other-than-temporary impairments have declined considerably for the year ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. Management believes that these indicators, as well as the fact that the FHLB has recently resumed redemption of its capital stock, support the Corporation’s assessment that its investment in FHLB capital stock is not other-than-temporarily impaired.

11. S UBORDINATED D EBENTURES

 

The Bank issued an aggregate of $15 million in subordinated debentures in July and August 2008. This subordinated debenture has a floating interest rate, which resets quarterly at 90 day LIBOR plus 3.75%, has a maturity of 10 years, and can be prepaid at the end of 5 years with no prepayment penalty. At December 31, 2010, the rate was 4.05% and will next reset on March 15, 2011. Interest is payable quarterly and principal is due September 15, 2018.

In April 2009, the Bank raised an additional $7.5 million in subordinated debentures. These subordinated debentures bear an interest rate at a rate per annum equal to the 90 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 5 years of the term. At December 31, 2010, the rate was 6.05% and will next reset on March 15, 2011.

Subordinated debentures qualify as Tier II regulatory capital for the first five years from the date of issuance and thereafter are discounted as the subordinated debentures approach maturity, with one fifth of the original amount excluded from Tier II capital each year during the last five years before maturity. When the remaining maturity is less than one year, the subordinated debentures are excluded from Tier II capital. Unamortized subordinated debenture issuance costs were $296 thousand and $320 thousand at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These costs are amortized over the term of the debt, as an adjustment to the yield.

12. J UNIOR S UBORDINATED D EBENTURES

 

In connection with the acquisition of FKF, the Corporation acquired FKF Capital Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust formed under Delaware law that became an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Corporation. The Corporation owns all the common shares of the Trust, which totals $928 thousand, as of December 31, 2010 and is recorded in other investments in the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. On August 21, 1997, the Trust issued $16.2 million of preferred securities (the “Preferred Securities”) at an interest rate of 9.7%, with a scheduled maturity of August 15, 2027. Simultaneously, the proceeds from the issue, along with $502 thousand of cash were invested in junior subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) that have been assumed by the Corporation. The Debentures are unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Corporation. On November 15, 2001 and June 25, 2008, FKF purchased $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of the Preferred Securities.

The Debentures represent the sole assets of the Trust. Interest on the Preferred Securities is cumulative and payable semiannually in arrears. The Corporation has the option, subject to required regulatory approval, if any, to prepay the securities. The Corporation has, under the terms of the Debentures and the related Indenture as well as the other operative corporate documents, agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the Trust’s obligations under the Debentures.

The premium to call the Preferred Securities decreases each August 15th until August 15, 2017, at which time they are callable at their face value.

13. D ISCLOSURE ABOUT F AIR V ALUE OF F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS

 

FASB ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate such value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other market value techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented below do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Estimated fair values for investment securities are generally valued by an independent third party based on market data utilizing pricing models that vary by asset and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. See Note 4 for more information.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of loans held for sale is based on pricing obtained from secondary markets.

Net Portfolio Loans and Leases

For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and which have no significant change in credit risk, estimated fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values of certain mortgage loans and consumer loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality and is indicative of an entry price. The estimated fair value of nonperforming loans is based on discounted estimated cash flows as determined by the internal loan review of the Bank or the appraised market value of the underlying collateral, as determined by independent third party appraisers. This technique does not reflect an exit price as contemplated in Note 4.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The fair value of the MSRs for these periods was determined using a third-party valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates.

Other Assets

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and other investments approximates fair value.

Deposits

The estimated fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts, and Market Rate accounts are, by definition, equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of expected monthly maturities on the certificate of deposit. FASB Codification 825 defines the fair value of demand deposits as the amount payable on demand as of the reporting date and prohibits adjusting estimated fair value from any

 

52


value derived from retaining those deposits for an expected future period of time.

Short-term borrowings

The carrying amount of short-term borrowings, which include overnight repurchase agreements approximate their fair value.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances and other borrowings, which includes a $2.0 million commercial mortgage loan, is established using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on mid-term and long term borrowings.

Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of subordinated debentures is established using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on comparable borrowings.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for junior subordinated debentures approximate their fair values, and are based in part on the call price of the instruments.

Other Liabilities

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable, accrued taxes payable and other accrued payables approximate fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

Estimated fair values of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet instruments (standby letters of credit and loan commitments) 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 estimated fair values of off-balance sheet instruments.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments are as follows:

14. F AIR V ALUE M EASUREMENT

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” 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 available for sale investment securities, which generally include 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 available for sale investments are evaluated using a broker-quote based application, including quotes from issuers.

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 tables summarize the assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 that are recognized on the Corporation’s balance sheet using fair value measurement determined based on the differing levels of input.

In addition, no transfer of assets between levels has occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

15. 401(K) P LAN

 

The Corporation has a qualified defined contribution plan for all eligible employees under which the Corporation contributes $1.00 for each $1.00 that an employee contributes up to a maximum of 3.0% of the employee’s base salary. The Corporation’s expenses for the 401(K) Plan were $570 thousand, $503 thousand and $457 thousand in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Effective April 1, 2008, an amendment was made to the 401(K) Plan to provide for a new class of immediately vested discretionary, non-matching employer contribution. The Corporation’s expense for the non-matching discretionary contribution was $769 thousand, $589 thousand and $438 thousand, for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

16. P ENSION AND P OSTRETIREMENT B ENEFIT P LANS

 

A. General Overview – The Corporation has three defined benefit pension plans, the qualified defined benefit plan (“QDBP”) which covers all employees over age 20 1/2 who meet certain service requirements and two non-qualified defined benefit pension plans (“SERP”) which are restricted to certain officers of the Corporation.

 

54


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 non-matching employer contributions mentioned previously.

The original SERP was restricted and frozen to certain officers of the Corporation and provided each participant the equivalent pension benefit on any compensation which exceeded the IRS limits and bonus deferrals made by eligible individuals.

Additionally, effective April 1, 2008, the Corporation added a new SERP which includes certain officers of the Corporation. This new SERP provides that each participant shall receive a pension benefit equal to what the QDBP would have provided at retirement, 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 and their respective QDBP benefit.

The Corporation also has a postretirement benefit plan (“PRBP”) that covers certain retired employees and a group of current employees. The PRBP was closed to new participants in 1994. In 2007, the Corporation amended the PRBP to allow for settlement of obligations to certain current and retired employees. Certain retired participant obligations were settled in 2007 and current employee obligations were settled in 2008.

 

 

The following table provides information with respect to our QDBP, SERP, and PRBP, including benefit obligations and funded status, net periodic pension costs, plan assets, cash flows, amortization information and other accounting items.

Includes Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation common stock in the amount of $550 thousand or 1.8% and $475 thousand or 1.7% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The expected rate of return on plan assets in the QDBP was selected by the Corporation after consultation with its actuary, and is based in part on long term historical rates of return and various actuarial assumptions. The discount rate was also selected by the Corporation after consultation with its actuary, and is based in part upon the current yield of a portfolio of long term investment grade securities.

The investment strategy of the QDBP is to maintain the investment ranges listed above. The target ranges are to be periodically reviewed based on the prevailing market conditions. Any modification to the current investment strategy must be ratified by the Executive Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The QDBP is allowed to retain approximately 2.5% of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation common stock.

The Corporation’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of approximately 60% investments for long-term growth and 40% for production of current income. The target allocations for the plan are 60% equity securities comprised of a number of mutual funds managed with differing objectives and styles. The plan also holds shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Fixed income obligations include corporate obligations, U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, along with fixed income mutual funds.

G. Other Pension and Post Retirement Benefit Information

In 2005, the Corporation capped the maximum payment under the PRBP at 120% of the 2005 benefit. The cost is at the cap in 2010. The long term impact of the cap will be to make the cost trend rate assumed for 2010 immaterial.

H. Expected Contribution to be Paid in the Next Fiscal Year

Based on the status of the Corporation’s QDBP at December 31, 2010, no minimum funding requirement is anticipated for 2011. The 2011 expected contribution for the SERP is $146 thousand.

Not included in the table above are deferred tax assets related to state tax net operating losses related to our leasing subsidiary of approximately $175 thousand as of December 31, 2010, for which we have recorded a full valuation allowance. Also, as of December 31, 2010, the Corporation has a $432 thousand capital loss carry-forward, for which it has recorded a 100% valuation allowance, due to the Corporation’s limited access to instruments that would produce an offsetting capital gain.

D. Other Income Tax Information

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, the Corporation recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the Corporation would more likely than not 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 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Corporation applied these criteria to tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.

There were no reserves for uncertain tax positions recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.

The Corporation is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in multiple state jurisdictions. The Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for the years before 2008.

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 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation has net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes of $ 7.7 million which are available to offset future federal taxable income through 2030. In addition, the Corporation has alternative minimum tax credits of $568 thousand, which are available to reduce future federal regular income taxes over an indefinite period.

18. S TOCK - B ASED C OMPENSATION

 

A. General Information

The Corporation permits the issuance of stock options, dividend equivalents, performance awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and/or restricted stock units to employees and directors of the Corporation under several plans. The terms and conditions of awards under the plans are determined by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee.

Prior to April 25, 2007, all shares authorized for grant as stock-based compensation were limited to grants of stock options. On April 25, 2007, the Shareholders approved the Corporation’s “2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan” (the “2007 LTIP”) under which a total of 428,996 shares of the Corporation’s common stock were made available for award grants. On April 28, 2010, the Shareholders approved the Corporation’s “2010 Long Term Incentive Plan” (“2010 LTIP”) under which a total of 445,002 shares of the Corporation’s common stock were made available for award grants.

The equity awards granted under the 2007 and 2010 LTIPs were authorized to be in the form of, among others, options to purchase the Corporation’s common stock, restricted stock awards (“RSA”s) and performance stock awards (“PSA”s).

The fair value of the RSAs is based on the closing price on the day preceding the date of the grant.

The PSAs vest based on the Corporation’s total shareholder return relative to the performance of the community bank index for the respective period. The amount of PSAs earned will not exceed 100% of the PSAs awarded. The fair value of the PSAs is calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation method.

In connection with the Merger, 21,133 fully vested options which had been granted to former FKF employees were assumed by the Corporation.

The following table summarizes the remaining shares authorized to be granted for options, RSAs and PSAs:

     —          425,884   
                

B. Fair Value of Options Granted

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants issued during:

 

     2010     2009     2008  

Expected dividend yield

     3.24     3.1     2.3

Expected volatility of Corporation’s stock

     45.7     29.4     21.9

Risk-free interest rate

     1.5     3.2     3.4

Expected life in years

     6.0        7.0        7.0   

Weighted average fair value of options granted

   $ 5.42      $ 4.42      $ 5.27   

The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s annual dividend amount as a percentage of the average stock price at the time of the grant. Expected volatility of the Corporation’s stock is based on the historic volatility of the Corporation’s stock price. The risk free interest rate is based on a yield curve of the U.S. Treasury rates ranging from one month to ten years and a period commensurate with the expected life of the option.

D. Restricted Stock Awards and Performance Stock Awards

The Corporation has granted restricted stock awards and Performance Stock Awards under the 2007 LTIP and 2010 LTIP Plans.

The compensation expense for the RSAs is measured based on the market price of the stock on the day prior to the grant date and is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period, accelerated for retirement eligibility. Stock restrictions are subject to alternate vesting for death and disability and retirement.

During 2010, the Corporation recognized $25 thousand of expense related to the Corporation’s RSAs. As of December 31, 2010, there was $175 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to RSAs. This cost will be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

The following table details the RSAs for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

The compensation expense for PSAs is measured based on the grant date fair value as calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation. The Simulation used various assumptions that include expected volatility of 54.78%, a risk free rate of return of 0.742% and a correlation co-efficient of 0.5602%

The Corporation recognized $87 thousand of expense related to the PSAs in 2010. As of December 31, 2010 there was $499 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to PSAs. This cost will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

23. F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS WITH O FF -B ALANCE S HEET R ISK , C ONTINGENCIES AND C ONCENTRATION OF C REDIT R ISK

 

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. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments.

Commitments to extend credit, which include unused lines of credit and unfunded commitments to originate loans, are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, and the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total commitments to extend credit at December 31, 2010 were $358.7 million. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on a credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, marketable securities, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to a customer for a third party. Such standby letters of credits are issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is similar to that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The collateral varies, but may include accounts receivable, marketable securities, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and residential real estate for those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The Corporation’s obligation under standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2010 amounted to $27.2 million. There were no outstanding bankers’ acceptances as of December 31, 2010.

Contingencies

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation is subject to litigation, claims, and assessments that involve claims for monetary relief. Some of these are covered by insurance. Based upon information presently available to the Corporation and its counsel, it is the Corporation’s opinion that any legal and financial responsibility arising from such claims will not have a material, adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or capital.

Indemnifications

In general, the Corporation does not sell loans with recourse, except to the extent that it arises from standard loan-sale contract provisions. These provisions cover violations of representations and warranties and, under certain circumstances, first payment default by borrowers. These indemnifications may include the repurchase of loans by the Corporation, and are considered customary provisions in the secondary market for conforming mortgage loan sales. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Corporation recorded an immaterial amount of loan repurchases resulting from these provisions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Corporation has a material portion of its loans in real estate related loans. A predominant percentage of the Corporation’s real estate exposure, both commercial and residential, is in the Corporation’s primary trade area which includes portions of Delaware, Chester, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania. The Corporation is aware of this concentration and attempts to mitigate this risk to the extent possible in many ways, including the underwriting and assessment of borrower’s capacity to repay. See Note 5 – Loans and Leases for additional information.

At December 31, 2010, the total first lien interest only residential loans of $42.7 million included $37.1 million of adjustable rate loans that convert to principal and interest payments between five and ten years after inception and $5.7 million of fixed rate loans that continue as interest only loans until reaching maturity. At December 31, 2010, the balance sheet also included $327 thousand one to four family residential loans secured by junior lien positions that are interest only loans. These fixed rate loans will remain as interest only loans until maturity.

As of December 31, 2010, the Corporation had no loans sold with recourse outstanding.

24. D IVIDEND R ESTRICTIONS

 

The Bank is subject to the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 (the “Code”), as amended, and is restricted in the amount of dividends that can be paid to its shareholder, the Corporation. The Code restricts the payment of dividends by the Bank to the amount of its net income during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years, unless the dividend has been approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The total was $10.4 million as of December 31, 2010. However, the amount of dividends paid by the Bank cannot reduce capital levels below levels that would cause the Bank to be less than adequately capitalized as detailed in Note 25 – Regulatory Capital Requirements.

25. R EGULATORY C APITAL R EQUIREMENTS

 

A. General Regulatory Capital Information

Both the Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if taken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

B. S-3 Shelf Registration Statement and Offerings Thereunder

In June 2009, the Corporation filed a shelf registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) which allows the Corporation to raise additional capital through offers and sales of registered securities consisting of common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, stock purchase contracts or units consisting of any combination of the foregoing securities. Using the prospectus in the Shelf Registration Statement, together with applicable prospectus supplements, the Corporation may sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, any amount of such securities in a dollar amount up to $90,000,000, in the aggregate.

On May 18, 2010, through a registered direct stock offering under the Shelf Registration Statement, the Corporation issued 1,548,167 common shares, at a price of $17.00 per share, raising $24.6 million after deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses of $1.7 million.

On July 20, 2009, the Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement in order to register 850,000 common shares of its stock under the Shelf Registration Statement in connection with a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for the grant of a request for waiver (“RFW”) above the Plan maximum investment of $120 thousand per account per year. An RFW is granted based on a variety of factors, including the Corporation’s current and projected capital needs, prevailing market prices of the Corporation’s common stock and general economic and market conditions.

The Plan is intended to allow both existing shareholders and new investors to easily and conveniently increase their investment in the Corporation without incurring many of the

 

62


fees and commissions normally associated with brokerage transactions. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation issued 119,175 and 81,641 shares, respectively, and raised $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, through the Plan.

C. Private Transactions in Securities

In April 2009, the Bank raised $7.5 million in subordinated debt which qualified 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.

In April 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 also 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 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, at the time, 1.7% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock, as determined immediately after the closing of the sale.

D. Shares Issued in Merger

In connection with the Merger, the Corporation issued 1,630,053 common shares, valued at $26.5 million, to former shareholders of FKF. These shares were registered on an S-4 registration statement filed by the Corporation in January 2010.

E. Regulatory Capital Ratios

As set forth in the following table, quantitative measures have been established to ensure capital adequacy ratios required of both the Corporation and the Bank. Both the Corporation’s and the Bank’s Tier II capital ratios are calculated by adding back a portion of the loan loss reserve to the Tier I capital. The Corporation believes that as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation and the Bank had met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. Federal banking regulators have defined specific capital categories, and categories range from a best of “well capitalized” to a worst of “critically under capitalized.” Both the Corporation and the Bank were classified as “well capitalized” as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

See Note 16 – Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans for certain information relating to the accumulated other comprehensive income that is a reduction to capital and related regulatory capital impact.

The Corporation’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are presented in the following table:

Net interest income, for the three month periods ended September 30, and December 31, 2010 increased significantly as compared to the three month periods ended March 31, and June 30, 2010, largely due to the increase in average interest-earning assets that resulted from the Merger. The increases in provision for loan and lease losses for the quarters ended March 31, and September 30, 2010, as compared to the other two quarters of 2010 were related to charge-offs of $3.2 million in each of the two quarters ended March 31, and September 30, 2010, involving two commercial loan relationships. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to each of the two prior three month periods, decreased sharply as the result of the $3.9 million increase and $3.7 million increase in merger-related expenses, as compared to the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased significantly from the prior three month period as a result of the $3.9 million decrease in merger-related expenses and the $2.7 million decrease in provision.

28. S EGMENT I NFORMATION

 

FASB Codification 280 – “Segment Reporting” identifies operating segments as components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Decision Maker, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Corporation has applied the aggregation criterion set forth in this Codification to the results of its operations.

The Corporation’s Banking segment consists of commercial and retail banking. The Banking segment is evaluated as a single strategic unit which generates revenues from a variety of products and services. The Banking segment generates interest income from its lending (including leases) and investing activities and is dependent on the gathering of lower cost deposits from its branch network or borrowed funds from other sources for funding its loans, resulting in the generation of net interest income. The Banking segment also derives revenues from other sources including service charges on deposit accounts; cash sweep fees, overdraft fees, BOLI income and interchange revenue associated with its Visa Check Card offering.

The Wealth Management segment has responsibility for a number of activities within the Corporation, including trust administration, other related fiduciary services, custody, investment management and advisory services, employee benefits and IRA administration, estate settlement, tax services and brokerage. Bryn Mawr Trust of Delaware and Lau Associates are included in the Wealth Management Segment of the Corporation since it has similar economic characteristics, products and services to those of the Wealth Management Segment of the Corporation.

The Mortgage Banking segment includes the origination of residential mortgage loans and the sale and servicing of such loans to the secondary mortgage market. This segment also includes the Corporation’s title insurance and joint mortgage origination activity with a real estate brokerage organization.

The “All Other” segment includes activities and expenses that do not fit into the other three segments including general corporate activities such as shareholder relations costs, NASDAQ fees and the annual meeting of shareholders. This segment also includes revenues and expenses from the Corporation’s insurance agency activities.

The accounting policies of the Corporation are applied by segment in the following tables. The segments are presented on a pre-tax basis which is the way the Corporation evaluates business results.

The Banking, Wealth Management and Mortgage Banking segments consolidate and roll-up through the Bank.

On February 18, 2011, the Corporation entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hershey Trust Company (“HTC”) pursuant to which the Corporation will acquire the private wealth management business of HTC (the “PWMG Business”) for a total purchase price of $18.25 million, of which $8.15 million is to be paid at closing in cash, $6.5 million is to be issued at closing in unregistered shares of the Corporation’s common stock, and the final $3.6 million is to be placed in escrow and paid in cash installments on the 6-, 12- and 18-month anniversaries of the date of signing, subject to certain post-closing contingencies relating to the assets under management of the PWMG Business.

Pursuant to the Agreement, substantially all of the assets used to conduct the PWMG Business will be assigned by HTC to a newly formed Bank and Trust Company (the “Acquired Company”) that will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of an affiliate of HTC prior to the closing of the transaction. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquired Company will, upon closing, be acquired by the Corporation, and immediately after closing, the Acquired Company will be merged with and into the Bank.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2011, subject to certain conditions and regulatory approvals.
