History and Business

 

Tower Bancorp, Inc. (“Tower” or “the Corporation”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Tower was organized on October 12, 1983, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose of acquiring The First National Bank of Greencastle, Greencastle, Pennsylvania (“First”) and such other banks and bank related activities as are permitted by law and desirable.  On June 1, 1984, Tower acquired 100% ownership of The First National Bank of Greencastle, issuing 159,753 shares of Tower’s common stock to the former First shareholders.  On June 1, 2006, Tower completed the acquisition of FNB Financial Corporation, McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania.  FNB Financial Corporation was merged into Tower Bancorp, Inc. whereby FNB Financial Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the First National Bank of McConnellsburg became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Tower.  This transaction was accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations”.  In the merger, FNB shareholders received either 0.8663 shares of Tower common stock for each share of FNB common stock or $ 39.00 in cash for each share held, depending on shareholder elections and subject to the allocation provisions of the Merger Agreement.  FNB Financial Corporation’s shareholders received an aggregate of 640,381 shares of Tower’s common stock and $ 2.363 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding common shares.  On August 26, 2006, The First National Bank of McConnellsburg was merged with and into The First National Bank of Greencastle.

 

The Corporation files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the form of 10-Q’s - quarterly reports; 10-K – annual report; annual proxy statements and Form 8-K for any significant events that may arise during the year. Copies of the Corporation’s filings may be obtained free of charge through the SEC’s internet site at www.sec.gov.  The Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K can also be obtained free of charge by accessing the Corporation’s website at www.fnbgc.com.  Copies of the Corporation’s filings are also available to be read and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N. W., Washington, DC 20549.  Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

 

Tower’s primary activity consists of owning and supervising its subsidiary, The First National Bank of Greencastle, which is engaged in providing banking and bank related services in South Central Pennsylvania, principally Franklin County, where its sixteen branches are located in Quincy, Shady Grove, Waynesboro, Mercersburg, Chambersburg (2), Laurich, Rouzerville, McConnellsburg (2), Needmore, and Fort Loudon, Pennsylvania, Hancock and Hagerstown, Maryland (2), as well as its main office in Greencastle, Pennsylvania.  The day-to-day management of First is conducted by the subsidiary’s officers.  Tower derives the majority of its current income from First.

 

3



 

Tower has no employees other than its three officers who are also employees of First, its subsidiary.  On December 31, 2007, First had 156 full-time and 27 part-time employees.

 

Tower contemplates that in the future it will evaluate and may acquire, or may cause its subsidiaries to acquire, other banks.  Tower also may seek to enter businesses closely related to banking or to acquire existing companies already engaged in such activities.  Any acquisition by Tower will require prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and, in some instances, other regulatory agencies and its shareholders.

 

Business of First

 

First was organized as a national bank in 1983 as part of an agreement and plan of merger between Tower and The First National Bank of Greencastle, the predecessor of First, under which First became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tower.  As indicated, First is the successor to The First National Bank of Greencastle which was originally organized in 1864.

 

First is engaged in commercial banking as authorized by the National Bank Act.  This involves accepting demand, time and savings deposits and granting loans (consumer, commercial, real estate, business) to individuals, corporations, partnerships, associations, municipalities and other governmental bodies.

 

First grants agribusiness, commercial, and residential loans to customers throughout the Cumberland Valley area; Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania; and Washington County, Maryland.  It maintains a diversified loan portfolio and evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.  Collateral held varies, but generally includes equipment and real estate.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth on the face of the balance sheet (page 6 of the Annual Report to Shareholders).

 

In 2000, First entered into an affiliation agreement with Sentry Trust Company, a Pennsylvania Limited Purpose Bank, (“Sentry”) whereby Sentry acquired from First the right to service the trust accounts of First.  Through this affiliation agreement, trust and other financial services were provided to First’s customers by Sentry.  In 2006, First reacquired from Sentry the right to service the trust accounts of First.  First reestablished a Trust Department in the third quarter of 2006.

 

As of December 31, 2007, First had total assets of approximately $ 532 million, total shareholders’ equity of approximately $ 63 million and total deposits of approximately $ 440 million.

Regulation and Supervision

 

Tower is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHC Act”), and is registered as such with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”).  As a registered bank holding company, the parent company is required to file with the FRB certain reports and information.  Tower is also subject to examination by the FRB and is restricted in its acquisitions, certain of which are subject to approval by the FRB.  In addition, the parent company would be required to obtain the approval of the Pennsylvania State Banking Department in order for it to acquire certain bank and nonbank subsidiaries.

 

Under the BHC Act, a bank holding company is, with limited exceptions, prohibited from (i) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or (ii) engaging in any activity other than managing or controlling banks.  With the prior approval of the FRB, however, a bank holding company may own shares of a company engaged in activities which the FRB determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  In addition, federal law imposes certain restrictions on transactions between Tower and its subsidiary, First.  As an affiliate of First, Tower is subject, with certain exceptions, to provisions of federal law imposing limitations on, and requiring collateral for, extensions of credit by First to its affiliates.

 

The operations of First are subject to federal and state statutes applicable to banks chartered under the banking laws of the United States, to members of the Federal Reserve System and to banks whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Bank operations are also subject to regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

The primary supervisory authority of First is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), who regularly examines such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices and other aspects of bank operations.  These examinations are designed primarily for the protection of First’s depositors.

 

Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, among other things, the scope of a bank’s business, the investments a bank may make, the reserves against deposits a bank must maintain, the loans a bank makes and collateral it takes, the maximum interest rates a bank may pay on deposits, the activities of a bank with respect to mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches, and management practices and other aspects of banking operations.  See Note 20 of the Notes to Financial Statements (Exhibit 13) for a discussion of the limitations on the availability of Tower’s subsidiary’s undistributed earnings for the payment of dividends due to such regulation and other reasons.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) provides among other things that a financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) sharing common ownership with a failed institution can be required to indemnify the FDIC for its losses resulting from the insolvency of the failed institution, even if such indemnification causes the affiliated institution also to become insolvent.  Tower currently has only one subsidiary insured by the FDIC and as a result has not been significantly affected by the aforementioned provisions of FIRREA.

 

The OCC issued guidelines which, effective December 31, 1990, imposed upon national banks risk-based capital and leverage standards.  These capital requirements of bank regulators are discussed in Note 20 of the notes to financial statements.  Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a national bank to a variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities.  Depending upon circumstances, the regulatory agencies may require an institution to surpass minimum capital ratios established by the OCC and the FRB.

 

In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) was enacted.  FDICIA contains provisions limiting activities and business methods of depository institutions.  FDICIA requires the primary federal banking regulators to promulgate regulations setting forth standards relating to, among other things, internal controls and audit systems; credit underwriting and loan documentation; interest rate exposure and other off-balance sheet assets and liabilities; and compensation of directors and officers.  FDICIA also provides for expanded regulation of depository institutions and their affiliates, including parent holding companies, by such institutions’ primary federal banking regulator.  Each primary federal banking regulator is required to specify, by regulation, capital standards for measuring the capital adequacy of the depository institutions it supervises and, depending upon the extent to which a depository institution does not meet such capital adequacy measures, the primary federal banking regulator may prohibit such institution from paying dividends or may require such institution to take other steps to become adequately capitalized.

 

FDICIA establishes five capital tiers, ranging from “well capitalized”, to “critically undercapitalized”.  A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure.  Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market; in addition, “pass through” insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts.  FDICIA also requires an undercapitalized depository institution to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency.  One requisite element of such a plan is that the institution’s parent holding company must guarantee compliance by the institution with the plan, subject to certain limitations.  In the

 

6



 

event of the parent holding company’s bankruptcy, the guarantee, and any other commitments that the parent holding company has made to federal bank regulators to maintain the capital of its depository institution subsidiaries, would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority in payment.

 

Based on their respective regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2007, the Bank is considered well capitalized, based on the definitions in the regulations issued by the Federal Reserve Board and the other federal bank regulatory agencies setting forth the general capital requirements mandated by FDICIA.  See “Capital Funds” in management’s discussion and analysis in Tower’s annual report as shown in Exhibit 13.

 

A federal depositor preference statute was enacted in 1993 providing that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the “liquidation or other resolution” of such an institution by any receiver.

 

Other Federal Laws and Regulations

 

Our operations are subject to additional federal laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions, including, without limitation:

 

·                  Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related regulations, which require us to maintain privacy policies intended to safeguard customer financial information, to disclose the policies to our customers and to allow customers to “opt out” of having their financial service providers disclose their confidential financial information to non-affiliated third parties, subject to certain exceptions;

 

·                  Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

 

·                  Consumer protection rules for the sale of insurance products by depository institutions, adopted pursuant to the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; and

 

·                  USA Patriot Act, which requires financial institutions to take certain actions to help prevent, detect and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism.

 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

 

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity securities registered or that file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishes:  (i) new requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial

 

7



 

statements for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws.  Many of the provisions were effective immediately while other provisions become effective over a period of time and are subject to rulemaking by the SEC.  Because the Corporation’s common stock is registered with the SEC, it is currently subject to this Act.

 

The earnings of First, and therefore the earnings of Tower, are affected by general economic conditions, management policies, and the legislative and governmental actions of various regulatory authorities including the FRB, the OCC and the FDIC.

 

In addition to banking and securities laws, regulations and regulatory agencies, the Corporation also is subject to various other laws, regulations and regulatory agencies throughout the United States.  Furthermore, various proposals, bills and regulations have been and are being considered in the United States Congress, and various other governmental regulatory and legislative bodies, which could result in changes in the profitability and governance of the Corporation.  It cannot be predicted whether new legislation or regulations will be adopted and, if so, how they would affect the Corporation.

 

References under the caption “Supervision and Regulation” to applicable statutes, regulations and orders are brief summaries of portions thereof which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

 

Important Factors Relating to Forward Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies without fear of litigation so long as those statements are identified as forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such statements.  In connection with certain statements made in this report and those that may be made in the future by or on behalf of the Corporation which are identified as forward-looking statements, the Corporation notes that the following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in any such forward-looking statements.  Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statement or statements are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The business and profitability of a financial services organization such as the Corporation is influenced by prevailing economic conditions and governmental policies.  The actions and policy directives of the Federal Reserve Board determine to a significant degree the cost and the availability of funds obtained from money market sources for lending and investing.  Federal Reserve Board policies and regulations also influence, directly and indirectly, the rates of interest paid by commercial banks on their interest-bearing deposits and may also impact the value of financial instruments held by the Corporation.  The nature and impact on the Corporation of future changes in economic and market conditions and monetary and fiscal policies, both foreign and domestic, are not predictable, and are beyond the Corporation’s control.  In addition, these conditions and policies can impact the Corporation’s customers and counterparties which may increase the risk of default on their obligations to the Corporation and its affiliates.  They can also affect the competitive conditions in the markets and products within which the Corporation operates, which can have an adverse impact on the Corporation’s ability to maintain its revenue streams.

 

As part of its ongoing business, the Corporation assumes financial exposures to interest rates, currencies, equities and other financial products.  In doing so, the Corporation is subject to unforeseen events which may not have been anticipated or which may have effects which exceed those assumed within its risk management processes.  This risk can be accentuated by volatility and reduction in liquidity in those markets which in turn can impact the Corporation’s ability to hedge and trade the positions concerned. In addition, the Corporation is dependent on its ability to access the financial markets for its funding needs.

 

As noted in “Supervision and Regulation”, the Corporation is regulated by and subject to various regulators.  The actions of these regulators can have an impact on the profitability and governance of the Corporation.  Increases by regulatory authorities of minimum capital, reserve, deposit insurance and other financial viability requirements can also affect the Corporation’s profitability.

 

The Corporation is subject to operational and control risk which is the potential for loss caused by a breakdown in communication, information, processing and settlement systems or processes or a lack of compliance with the procedures on which they rely either within the Corporation or within the broader financial systems infrastructure.

 

As with any financial institution, the Corporation is also subject to the risk of litigation and to an unexpected or adverse outcome in such litigation.  Competitive pressures in the marketplace and unfavorable or adverse publicity and news coverage can have the effect of lessening customer demand for the Corporation’s services. Ultimately, the Corporation’s businesses and their success are dependent on the Corporation’s ability to attract and retain high quality employees.

Competition

 

First’s principal market area consists of Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania and the northcentral and northwest portions of Washington County, Maryland. It services a substantial number of depositors in this market area, with the greatest concentration within a limited radius of Greencastle, Pennsylvania.

 

First, like other depository institutions, has been subjected to competition from less heavily regulated entities such as brokerage firms, money market funds, consumer finance and credit card companies and other commercial banks, many of which are larger than First.  First is generally competitive with all competing financial institutions in its service area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, service charges on deposit accounts and interest rates charged on loans.

 

The Corporation files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the form of 10-Q’s - quarterly reports; 10-K - annual report; 14A - annual proxy statements and Form 8-K for any significant events that may arise during the year.  Copies of the Corporation’s filings may be obtained through the SEC’s internet site at www.sec.gov or may be obtained free of charge upon written request furnished to: Mr. Franklin T. Klink, III, CFO, Tower Bancorp, Inc., P. O. Box 8, Center Square, Greencastle, Pennsylvania 17225.

 

Item 1a.  Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Corporation’s common stock is subject to risks inherent to the Corporation’s business.  The material risks and uncertainties that management believes affect the Corporation are described below.  Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this report.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Corporation.  Additional risks and uncertainties that management is not aware of or focused on, or that management currently deems immaterial may also impair the Corporation’s business operations.  This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.

 

If any of the following risks actually occur, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the Corporation’s common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related To The Corporation’s Business

 

The Corporation is subject to interest rate risk.

 

The Corporation’s earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Corporation’s control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest the Corporation receives on loans and securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) the Corporation’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of the Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities, and (iii) the average duration of the Corporation’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, the Corporation’s net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.

 

Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the Corporation’s results of operations, any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Corporation is subject to lending risk

 

There are inherent risks associated with the Corporation’s lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in the markets where the Corporation operates as well as those across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States. Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans. The Corporation is also subject to various laws and regulations that affect its lending activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject the Corporation to regulatory enforcement action that could result in the assessment of significant civil money penalties against the Corporation.

 

11



 

As of December 31, 2007, approximately 17% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio consisted of commercial and industrial loans. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans or consumer loans. These types of loans are also typically larger than residential real estate loans and consumer loans. Because the Corporation’s loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and industrial loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for possible loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

If the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, its earnings could decrease.

 

The Corporation’s loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms of their loans, and the collateral securing the payment of their loans may be insufficient to assure repayment. The Corporation may experience significant credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on its operating results. The Corporation makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of its loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of its loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, the Corporation reviews its loans and its loss and delinquency experience, and the Corporation evaluates economic conditions. If its assumptions prove to be incorrect, its allowance for loan losses may not cover inherent losses in its loan portfolio at the date of its financial statements. Material additions to the Corporation’s allowance would materially decrease its net income. At December 31, 2007, its allowance for loan losses totaled $ 3,854,000, representing 0.97% of its total loans.

 

Although the Corporation believes it has underwriting standards to manage normal lending risks, it is difficult to assess the future performance of its loan portfolio due to the relatively recent origination of many of these loans. The Corporation can give you no assurance that its non-performing loans will not increase or that its non-performing or delinquent loans will not adversely affect its future performance.

 

In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require it to increase its allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in its allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory agencies could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

 

12



 

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

 

A significant portion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, the Corporation may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Corporation may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require the Corporation to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Corporation’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase the Corporation’s exposure to environmental liability. Although the Corporation has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Corporation’s profitability depends significantly on economic conditions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

 

The Corporation’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the specific local markets in which the Corporation operates. Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, the Corporation provides banking and financial services to customers primarily in the Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania and Washington County, Maryland area. The local economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for the Corporation’s products and services as well as the ability of the Corporation’s customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the Corporation’s deposit funding sources. A significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreak of hostilities or other international or domestic occurrences, unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Competition from other financial institutions may adversely affect the Corporation’s profitability.

 

The Corporation’s banking subsidiary faces substantial competition in originating both commercial and consumer loans. This competition comes principally from other banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking companies and other lenders. Many of

 

13



 

its competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources and higher lending limits, a wider geographic presence, more accessible branch office locations, the ability to offer a wider array of services or more favorable pricing alternatives, as well as lower origination and operating costs. This competition could reduce the Corporation’s net income by decreasing the number and size of loans that its banking subsidiary originate and the interest rates they may charge on these loans.

 

In attracting business and consumer deposits, its banking subsidiary faces substantial competition from other insured depository institutions such as banks, savings institutions and credit unions, as well as institutions offering uninsured investment alternatives, including money market funds. Many of the Corporation’s competitors enjoy advantages, including greater financial resources, more aggressive marketing campaigns, better brand recognition and more convenient branch locations. These competitors may offer higher interest rates than the Corporation, which could decrease the deposits that it attracts or require it to increase its rates to retain existing deposits or attract new deposits. Increased deposit competition could adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to generate the funds necessary for lending operations. As a result, it may need to seek other sources of funds that may be more expensive to obtain and could increase its cost of funds.

 

The Corporation’s banking subsidiary also competes with non-bank providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, insurance agencies and governmental organizations which may offer more favorable terms. Some of its non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern its banking operations. As a result, such non-bank competitors may have advantages over the Corporation’s banking subsidiary in providing certain products and services. This competition may reduce or limit its margins on banking services, reduce its market share and adversely affect its earnings and financial condition.

 

The Corporation is subject to extensive government regulation and supervision

 

The Corporation, primarily through the Bank, is subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect the Corporation’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect the Corporation in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Such changes could subject the Corporation to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products the Corporation may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks

 

14



 

to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.

 

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

 

Management regularly reviews and updates the Corporation’s internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of the Corporation’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

New lines of business or new products and services may subject the Corporation to additional risks

 

From time to time, the Corporation may implement new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services the Corporation may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The Corporation’s ability to pay dividends depends primarily on dividends from its banking subsidiary, which is subject to regulatory limits.

 

The Corporation is a bank holding company and its operations are conducted by its subsidiary. Its ability to pay dividends depends on its receipt of dividends from its subsidiary. Dividend payments from its banking subsidiary are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on net profits and retained earnings, imposed by

 

15



 

the various banking regulatory agencies. The ability of its subsidiary to pay dividends is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. There is no assurance that its subsidiary will be able to pay dividends in the future or that the Corporation will generate adequate cash flow to pay dividends in the future. The Corporation’s failure to pay dividends on its common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of its common stock.

 

The Corporation’s future acquisitions could dilute your ownership and may cause it to become more susceptible to adverse economic events.

 

The Corporation may use its common stock to acquire other companies or make investments in banks and other complementary businesses with its common stock in the future. The Corporation may issue additional shares of common stock to pay for future acquisitions, which would dilute your ownership interest in the Corporation. Future business acquisitions could be material to the Corporation, and the degree of success achieved in acquiring and integrating these businesses into the Corporation could have a material effect on the value of the Corporation’s common stock. In addition, any acquisition could require it to use substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt. In those events, it could become more susceptible to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

 

The Corporation may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.

 

The Corporation’s success depends, in large part, on its ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most activities engaged in by the Corporation can be intense and the Corporation may not be able to hire people or to retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of the Corporation’s key personnel could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business because of their skills, knowledge of the Corporation’s market, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. The Corporation does not currently have employment agreements or non-competition agreements with any of its senior officers.

 

The Corporation’s information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security

 

The Corporation relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Corporation’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures,

 

16



 

interruptions or security breaches of the Corporation’s information systems could damage the Corporation’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Corporation to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose the Corporation to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Corporation continually encounters technological change

 

The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. The Corporation’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in the Corporation’s operations. Many of the Corporation’s competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. The Corporation may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business and, in turn, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Corporation is subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility

 

From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to the Corporation’s performance of its fiduciary responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to the Corporation’s performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Corporation they may result in significant financial liability and/or adversely affect the market perception of the Corporation and its products and services as well as impact customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact the Corporation’s business

 

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of the Corporation’s deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of

 

17



 

collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause the Corporation to incur additional expenses. Severe weather or natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events may occur in the future. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Associated With The Corporation’s Common Stock

 

The Corporation’s stock price can be volatile

 

Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. The Corporation’s stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:

 

·                  Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations.

 

·                  Recommendations by securities analysts.

 

·                  Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Corporation.

 

·                  News reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry.

 

·                  Perceptions in the marketplace regarding the Corporation and/or its competitors.

 

·                  New technology used, or services offered, by competitors.

 

·                  Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Corporation or its competitors.

 

·                  Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions.

 

·                  Changes in government regulations.

 

·                  Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

 

General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause the Corporation’s stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.

 

The trading volume in the Corporation’s common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies

 

The Corporation’s common stock is listed for trading on OTCBB, and the trading volume in its common stock is less than that of other larger financial services companies. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity

 

18



 

and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of the Corporation’s common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which the Corporation has no control.  Given the lower trading volume of the Corporation’s common stock, significant sales of the Corporation’s common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause the Corporation’s stock price to fall.

 

An investment in the Corporation’s common stock is not an insured deposit

 

The Corporation’s common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), any other deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in the Corporation’s common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire the Corporation’s common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.

 

The Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and Shareholders Rights Plan as well as certain banking laws may have an anti-takeover effect

 

Provisions of the Corporation’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, and the Corporation’s stock purchase rights plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Corporation, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to the Corporation’s shareholders. The combination of these provisions effectively inhibits a non-negotiated merger or other business combination, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of the Corporation’s common stock.

 

Risks Associated With The Corporation’s Industry

 

Future governmental regulation and legislation could limit the Corporation’s future growth.

 

The Corporation is a registered bank holding company, and its subsidiary bank is a depository institution whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As a result, the Corporation is subject to various regulations and examinations by various regulatory authorities. In general, statutes establish the corporate governance and eligible business activities for the Corporation, certain acquisition and merger restrictions, limitations on inter-company transactions such as loans and dividends, and capital adequacy requirements, requirements for anti-money laundering programs and other compliance matters, among other regulations. The Corporation is extensively regulated under federal and state banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole. Compliance with these statutes and regulations is important to its ability to engage in new activities and to consummate additional acquisitions.

 

19



 

In addition, the Corporation is subject to changes in federal and state tax laws as well as changes in banking and credit regulations, accounting principles and governmental economic and monetary policies. The Corporation cannot predict whether any of these changes may adversely and materially affect it. Federal and state banking regulators also possess broad powers to take supervisory actions as they deem appropriate. These supervisory actions may result in higher capital requirements, higher insurance premiums and limitations on the Corporation’s activities that could have a material adverse effect on its business and profitability. While these statutes are generally designed to minimize potential loss to depositors and the FDIC insurance funds, they do not eliminate risk, and compliance with such statutes increases the Corporation’s expense, requires management’s attention and can be a disadvantage from a competitive standpoint with respect to non-regulated competitors.

 

The earnings of financial services companies are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions

 

The Corporation’s operations and profitability are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which the Corporation operates, all of which are beyond the Corporation’s control. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for the Corporation’s products and services, among other things, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

Financial services companies depend on the accuracy and completeness of information about customers and counterparties

 

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, the Corporation may rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. The Corporation may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business and, in turn, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

20



 

Consumers may decide not to use banks to complete their financial transactions

 

Technology and other changes are allowing parties to complete financial transactions that historically have involved banks through alternative methods. For example, consumers can now maintain funds that would have historically been held as bank deposits in brokerage accounts or mutual funds. Consumers can also complete transactions such as paying bills and/or transferring funds directly without the assistance of banks. The process of eliminating banks as intermediaries, known as “disintermediation”, could result in the loss of fee income, as well as the loss of customer deposits and the related income generated from those deposits. The loss of these revenue streams and the lower cost deposits as a source of funds could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

To the Board of Directors and

   Shareholders of Tower Bancorp, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007.  Tower Bancorp, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation changed its policy for accounting for stock-based compensation in 2006.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, 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 12, 2008 expressed an adverse opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

To the Board of Directors and

   Shareholders of Tower Bancorp, Inc.

 

We have audited Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary’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 company’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 of internal control over financial reporting 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.

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment.  The Corporation did not maintain adequate risk identification and monitoring of commercial loans.  Weaknesses include an ineffective loan review function, incomplete management information system, inadequate information to support the borrowers’ ability to service the loans, inconsistent loan documentation, and ineffective evaluation of the components of the allowance for loan losses.  These conditions result in a weakness in management’s ability to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2007 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 12, 2008 on those financial statements.

 

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary have not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 



 

 

To the Board of Directors and

   Shareholders of Tower Bancorp, Inc.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary, and our report dated March 12, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

To our Shareholders,
Tower Bancorp, Inc.
Greencastle, Pennsylvania

 

The management of Tower Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Corporation”) has the responsibility for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.  Management maintains a comprehensive system of internal control to provide reasonable assurance of the proper authorization of transactions, the safeguarding of assets and the reliability of the financial records.  The system of internal control provides for appropriate division of responsibility and is documented by written policies and procedures that are communicated to employees.  Tower Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary maintain an internal auditing program, under the supervision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which independently assesses the effectiveness of the system of internal control and recommends possible improvements.

 

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.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Corporation has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, using the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Corporation’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007:

 

The Corporation did not maintain adequate risk identification and monitoring of commercial loans.  Weaknesses include an ineffective loan review function, incomplete management information system, inadequate information to support the borrowers’ ability to service the loans, inconsistent loan documentation, and ineffective evaluation of the components of the allowance for loan losses.  These conditions result in a weakness in management’s ability to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

 

As a result of the material weakness identified above, management has concluded that Tower Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 



 

To our Shareholders,

Tower Bancorp, Inc.

 

The independent registered public accounting firm of Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC has issued an audit report on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.  The accounting firm’s audit report on internal control over financial reporting is included in this financial report.

REMEDIATION OF MATERIAL WEAKNESS

 

The Corporation is in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weakness.  Management has taken the following steps to improve the internal controls over financial reporting:

 

Management has created and filled a full time position designated as a Loan Review Officer.  The Loan Review Officer will be responsible for reviewing the adequacy of management’s risk identification of loans and for calculating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Management has created and filled the positions of Credit Administration Officer and Credit Analyst to assist in the identification and monitoring of risk within the loan portfolio.  Management has designated a team of bank officers to review the loan policy and rewrite the policy, addressing weaknesses in internal controls reported in this report.  Management is reviewing the management information systems and identifying enhancements available in the core processing systems.  Management has implemented new procedures that strengthen the collection and filing of information to support the borrowers’ ability to service loans.  These initiatives are designed to strengthen management’s ability to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Operations

 

Tower Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a bank holding company whose primary activity consists of owning and supervising its subsidiary, The First National Bank of Greencastle, which is engaged in providing banking and bank related services in South Central Pennsylvania, principally Franklin and Fulton Counties, and Washington County, Maryland.  Its sixteen (16) offices are located in Greencastle, Quincy, Shady Grove, Laurich, Waynesboro, Chambersburg (2), Rouzerville, McConnellsburg (2) Needmore, Fort Loudon and Mercersburg, Pennsylvania; Hancock and Hagerstown (2), Maryland.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Greencastle (the “Bank”).  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

 

FNB Mortgage Brokers, Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and was acquired in the merger with FNB Financial Corporation in 2006.  FNB Mortgage Brokers, Inc. was dissolved by the Corporation on February 28, 2007.

 

First Fulton County Community Development Corporation (FFCCDC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, and was acquired in the merger with FNB Financial Corporation in 2006.  The purpose of FFCCDC is to serve the needs of low to moderate income individuals and small business in Fulton County under the Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1995.  FFCCDC has been inactive since it was acquired.

 

During 2006, the Corporation completed the merger of FNB Financial Corporation, and these operations are included subsequent to the purchase.  See Note 18 for further discussion.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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

 

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate.  Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.  Because of these factors, management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change in the near term.

 

11



 

Investment Securities

 

The Corporation’s investments in securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:

 

·            Trading Securities.  Securities held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and recorded at their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income.

 

·            Securities to be Held to Maturity.  Bonds and notes for which the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

 

·            Securities Available for Sale.  Securities available for sale consist of securities not classified as trading securities nor as securities to be held to maturity.  These are securities that management intends to use as a part of its asset and liability management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk and other related factors.

 

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available for sale are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income.

 

Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined using the specific-identification method.

 

Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

 

The Corporation had no trading or held to maturity securities in 2007 or 2006.

 

Investments include equity securities with a concentration in the financial services sector amounting to $ 33,861,000 and $ 43,153,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Restricted Bank Stock

 

The Corporation is required to maintain minimum investment balances in The Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank and Atlantic Central Banker’s Bank.  These investments are carried at cost because they are not actively traded and have no readily determinable market value.

 

Premises, Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures and Depreciation

 

Premises, equipment, and furniture and fixtures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation has been provided generally on the straight-line method and is computed over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows:

 

 

 

Years

 

 

 

 

 

Premises

 

15-40

 

Equipment, furniture and fixtures

 

3-15

 

 

Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.  Land is not depreciated.

 

Foreclosed Property

 

Foreclosed properties includes properties for which the institution has taken physical possession in connection with loan foreclosure proceedings.  See Note 5 for further details.

 

12



 

At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at fair value less cost to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis.  Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  If an increase in basis results, it is classified as non-interest income unless there has been a prior charge-off, in which case a recovery to the allowance for loan losses is recorded.  After foreclosure, these assets are carried as “other assets” at the new basis.  Improvements to the property are added to the basis of the assets.  Costs incurred in maintaining foreclosed real estate and subsequent adjustments to the carrying amount of the property are classified as “other expenses”.

 

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount, deferred loan origination fees, and an allowance for loan losses.  Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by the interest method.  Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.

 

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay.

 

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield.  The Corporation is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.

 

Nonaccrual/Impaired Loans

 

The accrual of interest income on loans ceases when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and collateral is inadequate to cover principal and interest or immediately if, in the opinion of management, full collection is unlikely.  Interest accrued but not collected as of the date of placement on nonaccrual status is reversed and charged against current income unless fully collateralized.  Subsequent payments received are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectibility of principal.  Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote.  Interest income on such loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The larger commercial loans are evaluated for impairment.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by comparing the contractual principal and interest payments to 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.  Consumer loans such as residential mortgages and installments, comprised of smaller balance homogeneous loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote.  Interest income on such loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.

Earnings per Share of Common Stock

 

Earnings per share of common stock were computed based on weighted average shares outstanding.  For diluted earnings per share, net income is divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents.  The corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options.  See Note 10 for further details.

 

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows.  There is no adjustment to net income to arrive at diluted net income per share.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the underlying fair value of merged entities.  Goodwill is accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur.  In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and transactions and market place data.  There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment.  Changes in economic and operating conditions could result in a goodwill impairment in future periods.  Disruptions to the business such as end market conditions and protracted economic weakness, unexpected significant declines in operating results, and market capitalization declines may result in a goodwill impairment.  These types of events and the resulting analysis could result in additional charges for goodwill and other asset impairments in the future.  See Note 18 for further details.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets include premiums from purchases of core deposit relationships acquired in the merger with FNB Financial Corporation.  The core deposit intangible is being amortized over ten years on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis.  Also included in intangible assets are mortgage servicing rights resulting from loans serviced for others, discussed further in Note 6.  See Note 18 for further details.

 

Loan Servicing

 

The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.  Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights.  Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate.  For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans:  product type, investor type, interest rate, and term.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on management’s judgment, whereas for federal income tax purposes, the amount allowable under present tax law is deducted.  Additionally, deferred compensation is charged to operating expense in the period the liability is incurred for financial reporting purposes, whereas, for federal income tax purposes, these expenses are deducted when paid.  There are also differences between the amount of depreciation, intangible amortization, and deferred compensation expensed for tax and financial reporting purposes, and an income tax effect caused by the adjustment to fair value for available for sale securities.  As a result of these timing differences, deferred income taxes are provided in the financial statements.  See Note 13 for further details.

 

14



 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.

 

At December 31, 2007 there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Cash Flows

 

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the company has defined cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less.  They are included in the balance sheet caption “cash and due from banks”.  As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, the Corporation has elected to present the net increase or decrease in deposits in banks, loans and deposits in the Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation 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 instruments.  GAAP exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the corporation.  See Note 19 for further details.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value.

 

Interest Bearing Deposits with BanksInterest bearing balances with banks having a maturity greater than one year have estimated fair values using discounted cash flows based on current market interest rates.

 

Securities to be Held to Maturity and Securities Available for Sale.  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

 

15



 

Loans Receivable.  For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for fixed rate 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.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

Deposit Liabilities.  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts).  The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposits and IRA’s are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on time deposits.

 

Federal Funds Purchased and Other Borrowed FundsThe carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  Fair values of other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Corporation’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Accrued Interest.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

 

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments.  The Corporation generally does not charge commitment fees. Fees for standby letters of credit and their off-balance-sheet instruments are not significant.

 

Advertising

 

The Corporation expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, was $ 371,104, $ 332,246, and $ 241,697, respectively.

 

Trust Assets

 

Assets held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements since such assets are not assets of the Corporation.  In accordance with banking industry practice, income from fiduciary activities is generally recognized on the cash basis which is not significantly different from amounts that would have been recognized on the accrual basis.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Corporation follows generally accepted accounting principles when reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from nonowner sources.  It includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders.  Comprehensive income includes net income and certain elements of “other comprehensive income” such as foreign currency transactions; accounting for futures contracts; employers accounting for pensions; and accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities.

 

The Corporation has elected to report its comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The only element of “other comprehensive income” that the Corporation has is the unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.

Stock Option Plans

 

The Corporation maintains two stock-based compensation plans.  These plans provide for the granting of stock options to the Corporation’s employees and directors.  The Corporation has historically accounted for the plans using the intrinsic-value method under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations.  In December 2004, the FASB issued a final FAS Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which requires financial statement recognition of compensation cost for stock options and other stock-based awards based on use of a fair value determination on the date of grant and expensing over the applicable vesting period.

 

As a result of adopting Statement 123R on January 1, 2006, the Corporation’s income before taxes and net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 are $ 38,000 and $ 25,000 less and for the year ended December 31, 2006 are $ 32,000 and $ 11,000 less, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion 25.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are $ 0.01 and $ 0.01 less, respectively, than if the Corporation had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB Opinion 25.  The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The Corporation applied APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans for 2005.  Accordingly, only compensation cost for the intrinsic value of options has been recognized.  Had compensation cost for the Corporation’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with the method prescribed by FASB Statement No. 123, the Corporation’s net income and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, but management’s intent is to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic or specific investment concerns warrant a sale of securities.  Consideration is given to (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.

Note 7.       Financial Instruments With 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 financial needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The contract 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 other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written 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 instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer’s 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 management’s credit evaluation of the customer.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The Corporation holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary by management.

Note 9.       Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Corporation maintains a profit-sharing plan for those employees who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the plan.  Contributions to the plan are based on Corporation performance and are at the discretion of the Corporation’s Board of Directors.  Substantially all of the Corporation’s employees are covered by the plan and the contributions charged to operations were $ 352,100, $ 240,000, and $ 229,900, for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

As a result of the merger with FNB Financial Corporation in 2006, the Corporation acquired a 401(k) plan which covered all employees of the former FNB Financial Corporation who had attained the age of 20 and completed six months of full-time service.  The plan provided for the Corporation to match employee contributions to a maximum of 5% of annual compensation.  The Corporation also had the option to make additional discretionary contributions to the plan based upon the Corporation’s performance and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.  The Corporation’s total expense for this plan was $ 83,528 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  This plan was terminated as of December 31, 2006.  All employees covered under this plan were moved to the Corporation’s profit sharing plan effective on that date.

 

The Corporation maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain key executives and directors, which provides supplemental retirement and life insurance benefits.  The plan is partially funded by life insurance on the participants, which lists the bank as beneficiary.  The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid, which are included in other liabilities, amounted to $ 705,942 and $ 718,390 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Annual expense of $ 73,446, $ 76,008, and $ 79,121 was charged to operations for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

During 1999 a director who was a participant of the plan deceased.  The present value of this participant’s benefits, which will be paid out over ten years, was $ 32,811, $ 63,052, and $ 90,923, as of December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

23



 

As a result of the merger in 2006 with FNB Financial Corporation, the Corporation acquired three supplemental retirement benefit plans for directors and executive officers.  These plans are funded with single premium life insurance on the plan participants.  The cash value of the life insurance policies is an unrestricted asset of the Corporation.  The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid totaled $ 493,726 and $ 486,417 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in other liabilities.  Total annual expense for these plans amounted to $ 34,159 and $ 123,149 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

The Corporation has a supplemental group term retirement plan which covers certain officers of the Corporation.  This plan is funded with single premium life insurance on the plan participants.  The cash surrender value of the policies is an unrestricted asset of the Corporation.  The estimated present value of the future benefits to be paid totaled $ 186,295 and $ 142,775 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Total annual expense for this plan was $ 78,455, $ 66,225, and $ 60,529, for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

The Corporation maintains an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that generally covers all employees who have completed one year of service and attained the age of twenty.  Contributions to the plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors as a percentage of the participants’ total compensation.  Compensation for the plan is defined as compensation paid including salary reduction under Sections 125 and 401(k) of the IRS Code but excluding nontaxable fringe benefits and any compensation over $ 200,000.  The payments of benefits to participants are made at death, disability, termination or retirement.  Contributions to the plan for all employees charged to operations amounted to $ 220,654, $ 144,000, and $ 137,224, for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.  All shares held in the plan are considered issued and outstanding for earnings per share calculations and all dividends earned on ESOP shares are charged against retained earnings, the same as other outstanding shares.  Total shares of the plan were 99,507 and 94,907 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Note 10.    Stock Option Plans

 

In 1996 the Corporation implemented two nonqualified stock option plans, which are described below.  The compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $ 104,235, $ 108,615, and $ 71,004, for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

The first plan is for select key employees.  This plan granted options for up to 1,603, 1,488, and 1,498 shares at a purchase price of $ 1.00 per share for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.  These options can be exercised only by the key employees during his/her lifetime.

 

The second plan is for outside directors.  This plan granted options to purchase 4,326, 4,062, and 4,086 shares for each director at $ 44.75, $ 47.75, and $ 43.75 per share for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively, which was based on the market value of the stock at the grant date.  Options are vested one year following the grant date and expire upon the earlier of 120 months following the date of the grant or one year following the date on which a director ceases to serve in such a capacity for the corporation.  At December 31, 2007 the range of exercise prices was from $ 22.25 to $ 47.75 per share.  At December 31, 2007, there were 90,745 shares that can still be granted under these plans.

The aggregate amount of demand deposits reclassified as loan balances were $ 93,583 and $ 189,674 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

The Corporation accepts deposits of the officers, directors, and employees on the same terms including interest rates, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons.  The aggregate dollar amount of deposits of officers, directors and employees totaled $ 3,809,880 and $ 3,910,260 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

As a result of the merger with FNB Financial Corporation, the Corporation has included in time deposits Index Powered Certificates of Deposit (“IPCD’s”) totaling $ 5,709 at December 31, 2007 and $ 231,563 at December 31, 2006.  The IPCD product is offered through a program with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  The ultimate pay off at maturity, which is five years after issuance, is the initial deposited principal plus the appreciation in the S&P 500 Index (“S&P Call Option”).  The S&P Call Option is considered an embedded derivative designated as a non-hedging item.  The change in fair value of the S&P Call Option resulted in a gain of $ 26,671 and $ 71,873 for 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in other income.

 

In order to hedge its risk associated with the IPCD Product, the Corporation has entered into a derivative contract with the FHLB whereby the Corporation pays FHLB a fixed rate interest charge (ranging from 4.20% to 4.97%) in return for a guarantee that the FHLB will pay the Corporation the cash equivalent of the growth in the S&P 500 Index due at the IPCD maturity date.  The change in fair value of the FHLB Derivative Contract resulted in a loss of $ 23,029 and $ 49,789 for 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in other income.

Note 12.    Liabilities for Other Borrowed Funds

 

The total amount available under lines of credit at other area banks at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $ 18,900,000 and $ 13,000,000, respectively.  Of this amount, $ 10,655,000 and $ 9,545,000 were outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Interest on these lines ranged from 4.25% to 8.75% for 2007 and 2006.

 

In addition, $ 340,988 and $ 329,986 of the balance of liabilities for other borrowed funds at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represents the balance of the Treasury Tax and Loan Investment Program.  The Corporation elected to enter into this program in accordance with federal regulations.  This program permits the Corporation to borrow these Treasury Tax and Loan funds by executing an open-ended interest bearing note to the Federal Reserve Bank.  Interest is payable monthly and is computed at 1/4% below the Federal Funds interest rate.  The note is secured by U.S. Government obligations with a par value of $ 316,120 and $ 381,087 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Total maximum borrowing capacity from Federal Home Loan Bank at December 31, 2007 was $ 264,308,000.  Collateral for borrowings consists of certain securities and the Corporation’s 1-4 family mortgage loans totaling approximately $ 266 million at December 31, 2007.

 

Note 13.    Income Taxes

 

The Corporation and its subsidiary, the Bank, file income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Pennsylvania.  The Bank also files an income tax return in the state of Maryland.  With few exceptions, the Corporation is no longer subject to U. S. federal, state and local income tax examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2004.

 

The Corporation adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007 with no impact on the financial statements.

 

27



 

Included in the balance sheet at December 31, 2007 are tax positions related to loan charge-offs for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

 

The components of income tax expense are summarized as follows:

Note 15.    Compensating Balance Arrangements

 

Included in cash and due from banks are required deposit balances at the Federal Reserve of $ 615,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 and required deposit balances at Equifax of $ 54,745 and $ 51,804 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  These are maintained to cover processing costs and service charges.

 

Note 16.    Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Corporation grants agribusiness, commercial and residential loans to customers throughout the Cumberland Valley area; Franklin and Fulton Counties, Pennsylvania; and Washington County, Maryland.  The Corporation maintains a diversified loan portfolio and evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  At December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, 60% and 61% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is concentrated in mortgages secured by 1-4 family properties, and 17% and 13% is concentrated in commercial and industrial loans.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.  Collateral held varies, but generally includes equipment and real estate.

 

The Corporation maintains deposit balances at several correspondent banks, which provide check collection and item processing services to the bank.  The balances with these correspondent banks, at times, exceed federally insured limits, which management considers to be a normal business risk.

Note 17.    Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Corporation leases its facilities in Mercersburg under a noncancellable operating lease that expires June 30, 2008 with the right to extend the lease until September 30, 2008.  Total annual rent expense charged to operations was $ 39,300, $ 22,200, and $ 22,200 for 2007, 2006, and 2005.

 

The Corporation leased its facilities in Chambersburg under a noncancellable lease that expired in September 2007.  Total rent expense charged to operations under the noncancellable lease was $ 7,200 for 2007 and $ 9,600 for 2006 and 2005.

 

During 2007, the Corporation entered into an agreement to lease other Chambersburg facilities under a noncancellable operating basis. Under the terms, it is expected to begin in June 2008 and expire June 2018 with the option to renew for two additional five-year periods with subsequent rental amounts subject to a Rental Escalation Article.  In addition to monthly rent payments, the Corporation will pay its proportionate share of any ad valorem and real estate taxes levied or assessed on the property.  The rent expense charged for 2007 was zero.

 

During 2005, the Corporation entered into a lease for its facilities in Hagerstown at Eastern Boulevard under a noncancellable operating lease that expires in 2020.  Beginning June 1, 2006, the lease will be subjected to a CPI increase not to exceed 5% per year.  Total annual rent expense charged to operations was $ 102,200, $ 96,000 and $ 56,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The Corporation is an occasional party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of management, Tower has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage respecting any and each of these actions and does not believe that they will materially affect the Corporation’s operations or financial condition.

 

Note 18.    Intangible Assets

 

On June 1, 2006, Tower completed the merger of FNB Financial Corporation (“FNB”).  Prior to completion of the Merger, The First National Bank of McConnellsburg, FNB’s sole banking subsidiary, was a nationally-chartered commercial bank.  Immediately after the merger, The First National Bank of McConnellsburg became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tower.  The First National Bank of McConnellsburg merged with and into First National Bank of Greencastle on August 26, 2006.

 

In the merger, FNB shareholders received either 0.8663 shares of Tower common stock for each share of FNB common stock or $ 39.00 in cash for each share held, depending on shareholder elections and subject to the allocation provisions of the Merger Agreement.  Tower acquired all of the outstanding shares of FNB’s common stock.  In connection with the Merger, Tower paid to the former shareholders of FNB in the aggregate, $ 2,363 million in cash and issued to the former shareholders of FNB, in the aggregate, 640,381 shares of Tower’s common stock.

Note 20.    Regulatory Matters

 

Dividends paid by Tower Bancorp Inc. are generally provided from the subsidiary bank’s dividends to Tower.  The Federal Reserve Board, which regulates bank holding companies, establishes guidelines which indicate that cash dividends should be covered by current year earnings and the debt to equity ratio of the holding company must be below thirty percent.  The Bank, as a national bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency.  Under such restrictions, the Bank may not, without prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, declare dividends in excess of the sum of the current year’s earnings (as defined) plus retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years.  Dividends that the Bank could declare without approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to approximately $ 7,686,266 and $ 5,960,589 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

The Corporation is also subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the corporation’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines, the corporation is required to maintain minimum capital ratios.  The “leverage ratio”, compares capital to adjusted total balance sheet assets while risk-based ratios compare capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet activity in order to make capital levels more sensitive to risk profiles of individual banks.  A comparison of Tower Bancorp’s capital ratios to regulatory minimums at December 31 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2007 the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the financial institution as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the financial institution’s category.

ITEM 2.

 

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

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the consolidated results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Corporation.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the preceding consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, as well as the Corporation’s December 31, 2007 Annual Report.  Current performance does not guarantee and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future.

 

In addition to historical information, this annual report contains forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements contained in this report are subject to certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Because of the possibility of change in the underlying assumptions, actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Additional factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

·                  operating, legal and regulatory risks,

·                  economic, political and competitive forces affecting the Corporation’s services, and

·                  the risk that management’s analyses of these risks could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.

 

The Corporation’s forward-looking statements are relevant only as of the date on which the statements are made. By making forward-looking statements, the Corporation assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changing or unanticipated events or circumstances. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other periodic reports and public documents that the Corporation files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management.

 

The Bank policy related to the allowance for loan losses is considered to be a critical accounting policy because the allowance for loan losses represents a particularly sensitive accounting estimate.  The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the loan portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions.

 

40



 

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay.

 

FUTURE IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157).  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years.  As of December 1, 2007, the FASB has proposed a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159).  This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument and is irrevocable. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). The Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”.  This Statement retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination.  SFAS 141(R) is

 

41



 

effective for acquisition dates on or after the beginning of an entity’s first year annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2008.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 141(R) to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160).  The Statement will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated financial statements.  SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-04.  This pronouncement affects the recording of post retirement costs of insurance of bank owned life insurance policies in instances where the Corporation has promised a continuation of life insurance coverage to persons post retirement.  EITF 06-04 requires that a liability equal to the present value of the cost of post retirement insurance be recorded during the insured employee’s term of service.  The terms of this pronouncement require the initial recording of this liability with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings to reflect the implementation of the pronouncement.  This EITF becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Corporation is evaluating the effect that EITF 06-4 will have on its balance sheet when implemented in the first quarter of 2008.

 

In November 2006, the EITF issued “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (EITF 06-10).  In this pronouncement, a consensus was reached that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement (in which the employee is the owner of the policy) in accordance with either SFAS 106 or APB Opinion No. 12, as appropriate, if the employer has agreed to maintain a life insurance policy during the employee’s retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit based on the substantive agreement with the employee.  A consensus also was reached that an employer should recognize and measure an asset based on the nature and substance of the collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement.  The consensuses are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted.  The Corporation is evaluating the effect that EITF 06-10 will have on its financial statements when implemented.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 158-1, “Conforming Amendments to the Illustrations in FASB Statements No. 87, No. 88 and No. 106 and to the Related Staff Implementation Guides.” This FSP provides conforming amendments to the illustrations in SFAS 87, 88, and 106 and to related staff implementation guides as a result of the issuance of SFAS 158.  The conforming amendments made by this FSP are effective as of the effective dates of SFAS 158.  The unaffected guidance that this FSP codifies into SFAS 87, 88, and 106 does not contain new requirements and therefore does not require a separate effective date or transition method.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of FSP No. FAS 158-1 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

42



 

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” (SAB 109). SAB 109 expresses the current view of the staff that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SEC registrants are expected to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SAB 109 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110, “Use of a Simplified Method in Developing Expected Term of Share Options” (SAB 110).  SAB 110 expresses the current view of the staff that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method discussed in SAB 107 for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share options regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates.  The staff noted that it understands that detailed information about employee exercise patterns may not be widely available by December 31, 2007.  Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007.  The Corporation does not expect the implementation of SAB 110 to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

OVERVIEW

 

The merger with FNB Financial Corporation, which occurred on June 1, 2006, represents a significant expansion of the Tower Bancorp, Inc. franchise. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), comparisons of year-to-date results have not been restated for the impact of the FNB Financial Corporation operations for the first five months of 2006 or for the twelve months of 2007, rendering these comparative analyses less useful than the quarterly comparison. Also, on February 28, 2007, the Corporation dissolved FNB Mortgage Brokers, Inc., a subsidiary of the bank acquired in the merger.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $ 7,037,000 and $ 6,132,000, respectively.  The increase of $ 905,000, or 14.8%, is attributable to the Corporation’s core banking business and the merger with FNB Financial Corporation (“FNB”.)  Net interest income increased 21.5%, other income decreased 8.4%, the provision for loan loss increased 66.7% and other expenses increased 14.6%.  On a basic and diluted per share basis, net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $ 3.00 and $ 2.99, respectively, as compared with $ 2.92 and $ 2.87 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Net income as a percentage of average assets on

 

43



 

an annualized basis, also known as return on average assets, decreased to 1.24% for 2007 from 1.34% for 2006 as a result of increased average assets.  Net income as a percentage of total average stockholders’ equity on an annualized basis, also known as return on average equity, was 8.35% and 9.06% for 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Net income as a percentage of total average tangible stockholders’ equity on an annualized basis, also known as return on average tangible equity, was 10.70% and 10.52% for 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase in this ratio is attributable to net income growing slightly faster than tangible equity.

 

During 2007, the Corporation’s assets increased $ 19,469,000, or 3.6%, to $ 561,636,000 as of December 31, 2007 from $ 542,167,000 as of December 31, 2006.  This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in Federal funds sold, funded by an increase in Money Market savings accounts (MMDA.)  Total loans increased 2.0% to $ 399,158,000.   Total deposits increased by $ 30,095,000, or 7.3%, during 2007 to $ 439,930,000 as of December 31, 2007 from $ 409,835,000 as of December 31, 2006.  As a result of competition in the market, and, to a certain degree, customers’ continued uncertainty as to how to best invest their monies, deposit growth may not be assumed at the current rates.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net Interest Income

 

For the year ended December 31, 2007, total interest income increased by $ 7,564,000, or 29.3%, to $ 33,363,000, compared with $ 25,799,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase is primarily due to the merger with FNB Financial Inc.  Average interest-earning assets increased to $ 514,899,000 for 2007, from $ 415,103,000 for 2006, an increase of $ 99,796,000 or 24.0%.  The growth in average interest earning assets was attributable to increased loan volume and investment securities, which were funded from the cash flow generated from the reduction of overnight borrowings and deposit growth.  Management targeted efforts to attract home equity mortgage and small commercial loans.  Management believes that our experience in making mortgage and small commercial loans positions the Corporation well to meet the financing demands of individuals and small businesses.  Adversely impacting interest income were two 25 basis point decreases in the prime rate and decreases in the one year Treasury rate during 2007 that resulted in lower yields on interest earning assets.

 

Total interest expense increased by $ 4,137,000, or 41.9%, to $ 14,010,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, from $ 9,873,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of FNB Financial Inc.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased to $ 437,520,000 for 2007 from $ 343,882,000 for 2006.  Increases in rates were needed to attract deposits, particularly time deposit accounts, which increased 47 basis points to 4.32% and money market accounts, which increased 35 basis points to 3.54%.  The interest expense for time deposit accounts excluding variable rate IRAs and index-powered CDs increased $ 2,265,000 to $ 7,477,000 for 2007 from $ 5,212,000 and money market accounts increased $ 2,215,000 to $ 3,910,000 for 2007, from $ 1,695,000 for 2006.

 

44



 

Net interest income increased by $ 3,427,000, or 21.5%, to $ 19,353,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $ 15,926,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  This increase is attributable to the repricing of mortgage loans and to a lesser extent commercial loans tied to the one year treasury and prime rates plus the increased earning assets from the merger with FNB Financial Corp.

 

The net interest rate spread was 3.3% for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the net interest margin was 3.8%.  The net interest spread and the net interest margin remained unchanged from 2006.  Due to a large investment portfolio at the holding company level, these ratios are lower than the Bank’s separate performance of 3.8% net interest spread and 4.2% net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the provision for loan losses was $ 600,000, an increase of $ 240,000, or 66.7%, compared with $ 360,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase in the provision is attributable to the merger with FNB Financial Corp. and the increased loan portfolio.  Due to general economic conditions and deterioration of certain borrower relationships, the Corporation expects to increase the provision for loan losses during 2008 and thereby negatively impact earnings during 2008.

 

The allowance for loans losses represented 0.97% of total loans at December 31, 2007, compared with 0.92% as of December 31, 2006.  Management performs ongoing assessments of the loan loss reserve in relation to loan portfolio growth, credit exposure to individual borrowers, overall trends in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. Based upon these factors, management believes that as of December 31, 2007, the reserve is reasonable and sufficient to support the increased loan growth in light of the strong asset quality as supported by the capital ratios reflected on page 55.

 

Other Income

 

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased $ 613,000, or 8.4%, to $ 6,711,000 from $ 7,324,000 for 2006. Net gains from the sale of securities decreased from $ 3,923,000 to $ 1,886,000, a decrease of $ 2,037,000 or 51.9%.  Other income was positively impacted by increases of $409,000 in trust revenues, $ 243,000 in NSF fees, $ 170,000 in ATM fees, $ 150,000 in BOLI (of which $ 132,000 was proceeds from death benefits), and $ 139,000 in investment service fees.  In the third quarter of 2007, the bank recognized the value of the mortgage servicing rights and the credit enhancement on $ 26,555,000 of loans sold to the FHLB of Pittsburgh over the last two years contributing a net of $ 301,000 in other income.  The increases in NSF fees and ATM fees are primarily due to the merger with FNB.  The Bank re-established and reactivated its Trust Department in the third quarter of 2006.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses, which include salary and benefits, occupancy and all other expenses incidental to the operations of the Corporation, increased to $ 16,096,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $ 14,040,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The $ 2,056,000, or 14.6% increase

45



 

was primarily due to the merger with FNB. Expenses for 2006 did not include the first five months of expenses at FNB, since the merger occurred in June 2006.

 

Salaries and employee benefit expenses, which make up the largest component of other expenses, increased $ 1,239,000, or 17.8%, to $ 8,188,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $ 6,949,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase is primarily attributed to the merger with FNB, and increases in salary expense of $ 724,000, employee benefits of $ 516,000 and health insurance expense of $ 236,000. The employee benefits expense includes $ 325,000 of vacation accrual expense not included in the 2006 annual expenses.

 

Occupancy and equipment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $ 3,629,000 from $ 3,073,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $ 556,000, or 18.1%.  The increase is primarily due to the merger with FNB, increasing depreciation expense by $170,000, computer expense by $ 130,000 and equipment expense by $ 111,000.

 

Other operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $ 4,279,000 from $ 4,018,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $ 261,000, or 6.5%.  The increase is primarily due to the merger with FNB, increasing state taxes by $ 202,000 and Core Deposit Intangible amortization by $ 153,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the tax provision was $ 2,331,000 compared with $ 2,718,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $ 387,000, or 14.2%.  The effective tax rate was 24.9% for 2007 and 30.7% for 2006.  Contributing to the lower tax rate was an increase in tax free income from investment securities, loans and bank owned life insurance (BOLI).

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $ 7,037,000, an increase of $ 905,000, or 14.8%, compared with $ 6,132,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increase in net income is the result of an increase of $ 3,427,000 in net interest income and a decrease of $ 387,000 in taxes, offset by increases of $ 2,056,000 in other expenses, an increase of $ 240,000 in the provision for loan losses, and a decrease of $ 613,000 in other income.  Factors contributing to the increased level of net income include the merger with FNB Financial Corp., increased interest income from increased levels of earning assets, as well as the Bank’s efforts to manage its cost of funds.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $ 3.00 and $ 2.99 compared with $ 2.92 and $ 2.87 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Corporation’s securities portfolio is comprised of securities that not only provide interest and dividend income, including tax-exempt income, but also provide a source of liquidity, diversify the earning assets portfolio, allow for the management of risk and tax liability, and provide collateral for repurchase agreements and public fund deposits. Policies are in place to address various aspects of managing the portfolio, including but not limited to, concentrations, liquidity, credit quality, interest rate sensitivity and regulatory guidelines.

 

Although the Corporation generally intends to hold its investment securities to maturity, a significant portion of the securities portfolio is classified as available for sale, with new purchases generally categorized as such. Securities in the available for sale category are accounted for at fair value with unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Securities in the held to maturity category are accounted for at amortized cost. All securities held as of December 31, 2007 are classified as available for sale. The Corporation holds no trading securities in its portfolio.  The securities portfolio includes equities owned by the holding company, most of which are investments in banks, bank holding companies and financial institutions.  Equity investments are accounted for at fair market value.  The remaining securities, primarily debt instruments, are owned by the bank.

 

The consolidated securities portfolio at December 31, 2007 was $ 83,846,000, compared to $ 87,631,000 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $ 3,785,000, or 4.3%.  The decrease is due primarily to decreases in the fair values of securities held.

 

Bank Owned Securities

 

The bank owned securities portfolio at December 31, 2007 was $ 49,985,000, compared to $ 44,478,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $ 5,507,000, or 12.4%.  The increase is attributable to the purchase of agency mortgage backed securities and taxable state and municipal bonds.

 

The carrying value of the available for sale portion of the portfolio at December 31, 2007 includes an unrealized gain of $ 829,000 (reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income of $ 547,000 in stockholders’ equity, net of a deferred income tax liability of $ 282,000). This compares with an unrealized gain at December 31, 2006 of $ 791,000 (reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income of $522,000 in stockholders’ equity, net of a deferred income tax liability of $ 269,000).

 

Holding Company Owned Securities

 

The holding company securities portfolio at December 31, 2007 was $ 33,861,000, compared to $ 43,153,000 at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $ 9,292,000, or 21.5%.  The decrease includes a decrease of $ 9,392,000 in unrealized gains.  Realized gains on sale of equity securities were $ 1,900,000 for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The carrying value of the available for sale portion of the portfolio at December 31, 2007 includes an unrealized gain of $ 6,077,000 (reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income of $ 4,011,000 in stockholders’ equity, net of a deferred income tax liability of $ 2,066,000).  This compares with an unrealized gain at December 31, 2006 of $ 15,469,000 (reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income of $ 10,209,000 in stockholders’ equity, net of a deferred income tax liability of $ 5,260,000).  This decrease in unrealized gains of $ 9,392,000, or 60.7%, is due to market fluctuations and general trends in the economy.  Since the bulk of the holding company’s portfolio is in banks and other financial institutions, only negative trends in the market impact the portfolio.

 

Loans

 

The loan portfolio comprises the major component of the Corporation’s earning assets and generally is the highest yielding asset category. Gross loans receivable, net of unearned fees and origination costs, increased $ 7,739,000, or 2.0%, to $ 399,158,000 at December 31, 2007 from $ 391,419,000 at December 31, 2006. Gross loans represented 90.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2007 as compared with 95.5% at December 31, 2006, primarily due to the growth in total deposits of $ 30,095,000.  At December 31, 2007 the bank had sold mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh with a balance of $ 27,784,000 compared to $ 20,546,000 at December 31, 2006.

 

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

 

The Corporation continues to be prudent in its efforts to minimize credit risk. The Bank’s written lending policy requires underwriting, loan documentation and credit analysis standards to be met prior to the approval and funding of any loan. In accordance with that policy, the loan review process monitors the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis.  The Credit Administration area and the accounting department then prepares an analysis of the allowance for loan losses which is then submitted to the Board of Directors for its assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is an accumulation of expenses that has been charged against past and present earnings in anticipation of potential losses in the loan portfolio.

 

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $ 3,854,000 and $ 3,610,000, respectively.  The increase in the allowance is attributable to weaknesses in the housing market and potential weaknesses in the local economy.  At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.97% of the gross loan portfolio, compared with 0.92% at December 31, 2006.  At December 31, 2007, in consideration of the asset quality, management believes the allowance for loan loss reserve to be reasonable and adequate to support the loan growth and to address any potential losses.

 

The Bank’s lending policy is executed through the assignment of tiered loan limit authorities to individual officers of the Bank, the Officer’s Loan Committee and the Board of Directors. Although the Bank maintains sound credit policies, certain loans may deteriorate for a variety of reasons. The Bank’s policy is to place all loans on a non-accrual status

 

48



 

upon becoming 90 days delinquent in their payments, unless there is a documented and reasonable expectation of the collection of the delinquent amount. Loans are reviewed monthly as to their status, and on a quarterly basis presented to the Board of Directors. Management is not aware of any material potential loan problems that have not been disclosed in this report.

 

At December 31, 2007 the Corporation had other real estate owned (not used in operations) in the amount of $ 2,313,000, which was an increase from the $ 1,904,000 owned at December 31, 2006.  Of the other real estate owned, $ 2,288,000 represented lots purchased for possible future bank facilities.  The remaining $ 25,000 represents foreclosed property. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Corporation had non-accrual loans in the amount of $ 4,397,000 and $ 688,000, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to three commercial loan relationships.

 

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when the total amount of loans to any one or a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or having similar characteristics exceeds 10% of loans outstanding in any one category.  The Corporation maintains a diversified loan portfolio, granting agribusiness, commercial, and residential loans to customers.  The majority of the Bank’s lending is made within its primary market area, which includes southern Franklin County, Pennsylvania, northern Washington County, Maryland, Fulton County, Pennsylvania and Hancock, Maryland.  At December 31, 2007, 60% of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is concentrated in mortgages secured by 1-4 family properties and 17% is concentrated in loans secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance

 

The Corporation has Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) for certain officers and directors, whereby the Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The Bank’s deposits and proceeds from the sale of investment securities funded the BOLI. Earnings from the BOLI are recognized as other income. The BOLI generates income from the appreciation of the cash surrender values of the pool of insurance, and its tax advantage to the Corporation. This income is used to “fund” a portion of current and future employee benefit costs and a Nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

The Corporation had $ 10,768,000 and $10,683,000 in BOLI as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $ 85,000 or 0.8%.  The increase is net of the redemption, upon the death of two participants, of life insurance policies with cash values totaling $ 311,000.  Although the BOLI is an asset that may be liquidated, it is the Corporation’s intention to hold this pool of insurance because it provides tax-exempt income that lowers the Corporation’s tax liability, while enhancing its overall capital position.  The Corporation also expects to collect future proceeds as the beneficiary of the policies.

Deposits

 

Deposits are the major source of the Corporation’s funds for lending and investment purposes. Total deposits at December 31, 2007 were $ 439,930,000, an increase of $ 30,095,000, or 7.3%, from total deposits of $ 409,835,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a large money market account opened in January 2007.  Money market deposits increased $ 39,652,000 or 57.6% to $ 108,500,000 as of December 31, 2007.  Weekly, management reviews options to manage the funding of the bank and respond to changes in interest rates and local competition.  The cost of deposits has increased due to the increased costs associated with attracting deposits at a time when short term interest rates are at two year highs.  Higher rates impacted the cost of interest bearing deposits, which increased to 2.95% as of December 31, 2007 from 2.45% as of December 31, 2006.

 

Short-Term Borrowings

 

Short term borrowings at December 31, 2007 were $ 10,996,000, compared to $ 9,875,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of $ 1,121,000, or 11.4%.  Federal funds purchased, Treasury Tax and Loan demand note, lines of credits with banks and overnight borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh are considered to be short term borrowings.  Short term borrowings fluctuate daily to meet the liquidity needs of the Corporation.  The Corporation had short term sources of available borrowings in the amount of $ 60,000,000 overnight lines from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, $ 11,000,000 in an overnight line from another commercial bank, and $ 18,900,000 from area banks.  As of December 31, 2007, the maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh is approximately $ 263,034,000, which includes the $ 60,000,000 overnight lines.

 

Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Capacity

 

There were $ 26,863,000 outstanding in fixed rate term loans with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh at December 31, 2007, compared to $ 31,871,000 borrowed at December 31, 2006.

 

The Bank has a total maximum borrowing capacity for both short and long-term borrowings of approximately $ 264,308,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which $ 26,863,000 represents fixed rate term loans that were outstanding at December 31, 2007, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $ 291,171,000.

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

The management of interest rate risk involves measuring and analyzing the maturity and repricing of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at specific points in time. The imbalance between interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is commonly referred to as the interest rate gap. The interest rate gap is one measure of the risk inherent in the existing balance sheet as it relates to potential changes in net interest income. Maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is a means of monitoring and possibly avoiding material fluctuations in the net interest margin during periods of changing interest rates.

 

50



 

The Corporation’s overall sensitivity to interest rate risk is low due to its non-complex balance sheet. The Corporation manages its balance sheet with the intent of stabilizing net interest income and net economic value under a broad range of interest rate environments. The Corporation has the ability to effect various strategies to manage interest rate risk, which include, but are not limited to, selling newly originated residential mortgage loans, controlling the volume mix of fixed/variable rate commercial loans, mortgage loans and securities, increasing/ decreasing deposits via interest rate changes, borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and buying/selling securities. Adjustments to the mix of assets and liabilities are made periodically in an effort to give the Corporation dependable and steady growth in net interest income, while at the same time, managing the related risks.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity represents the Corporation’s ability to efficiently manage cash flows at reasonable rates to support possible commitments to borrowers or the demands of depositors. Liquidity is essential to compensate for fluctuations in the balance sheet and provide funds for growth and normal operating expenditures. Liquidity needs may be met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of additional funding.

 

Liquidity from asset categories is provided through cash, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, which were $ 36,851,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $ 20,755,000 at December 31, 2006. Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from securities in the Corporation’s investment portfolio and cash flow from its amortizing loan portfolio. Longer-term liquidity needs may be met by selling securities available for sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At December 31, 2007, there were $ 68,573,000 in liquid securities as compared to $ 71,337,000 at December 31, 2006. Liquid securities decreased by $ 2,764,000 since December 31, 2006 due primarily to the decrease in unrealized gains in the investment portfolio.

 

Liability liquidity sources include attracting deposits at competitive rates. Deposits at December 31, 2007 were $ 439,930,000, compared to $ 409,835,000 at December 31, 2006. In addition, the Corporation has borrowing capacity and lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and several local banks.

 

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. Off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in detail below.

 

Management is of the opinion that its liquidity position, at December 31, 2007, is adequate to respond to fluctuations “on” and “off” the balance sheet.  In addition, management knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in the Corporation’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.

 

51



 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business. These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and letters of credit made in accordance with the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments at December 31, 2007 were $ 49,158,000, which consisted of $ 45,949,000 in unfunded commitments to existing loans and unfunded new loans and $ 3,209,000 in letters of credit. Unused commitments at December 31, 2006 were $ 51,755,000, which consisted of $ 48,690,000 in unfunded commitments to existing loans and unfunded new loans and $ 3,065,000 in letters of credit. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present a significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations. The Corporation has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

 

A number of measures are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk including income simulation and interest sensitivity (gap) analysis.  An income simulation model is used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment, repricing and maturity of loan related assets; deposit sensitivity; market conditions and changes in other financial instruments.  The Corporation’s policy objective is to limit the change in annual earnings to 20% of net interest income.  At December 31, 2007, based on the results of the simulation model, the Corporation would expect an increase in net interest income of $ 367,000, or 1.6% over a 12-month period if interest rates increased from current rates by 200 basis points.  If interest rates decreased from current rates by 200 basis points, the Corporation would expect a decrease in the net interest income of $ 290,000, or 1.3% over a 12-month period.

 

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap”.  An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.  The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period.  A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within the same period.  Accordingly, in a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would be in a better position to invest in higher yielding assets which would result in the yield on its assets increasing at a pace closer to the cost of

 

52



 

its interest-bearing liabilities, than would be the case if it had a negative gap.  During a period of falling interest rates, an institution with a positive gap would tend to have its assets repricing at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which would tend to restrain the growth of its net interest income.

 

The Corporation closely monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to its operational strategies.  The Corporation’s Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee responsible for reviewing its asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which generally meets quarterly and reports to the Board on interest rate risk and trends on a quarterly basis.

 

The following table sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2007 which are anticipated by the Corporation, based upon certain assumptions described below, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown.  Adjustable-rate assets and liabilities are included in the table in the period in which their interest rates can next be adjusted.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Corporation has risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk, and strives to take advantage of profit opportunities available in interest rate movements.

 

Management continuously monitors liquidity and interest rate risk through its ALCO reporting, and reprices products in order to maintain desired net interest margins.  Management expects to continue to direct its marketing efforts toward attracting more low cost retail deposits while competitively pricing its time deposits in order to maintain favorable interest spreads, and minimize structural interest rate risk.

 

The following table sets forth the projected maturities and average rates for all rate sensitive assets and liabilities based on the following assumptions.  All fixed and variable rate loans were based on original maturity of the note since the Corporation has not experienced a significant rewriting of loans.  Investments are based on maturity date. The Corporation has historically experienced very little deposit runoff and has in fact had net gains in deposits over the past fifteen years.  Based on this experience, it was estimated that maximum runoff of noninterest bearing checking would be 33% and for all other deposits

 

54



 

except time deposits, which would be 10%.  Time deposits are classified by original maturity date.

CAPITAL FUNDS

 

Stockholders’ equity was $ 78,414,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to $ 81,553,000 at December 31, 2006.  The decrease was primarily due to lower unrealized gains on the investment portfolio.  Regulatory authorities have established capital guidelines in the form of the “leverage ratio” and “risk-based capital ratios.” The leverage ratio compares capital to total balance sheet assets, while the risk-based ratios compare capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet activity in order to make capital levels more sensitive to risk profiles of individual banks.  A comparison of Tower Bancorp’s capital ratios to regulatory minimums at December 31, 2007 is as follows:
