NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

(unaudited)

These Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect events subsequent to December 31, 2012, through the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Parts I and II of this Report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 14, 2013.

NOTE 1 — Principles of Consolidation

Penseco Financial Services Corporation (Company) is a financial holding company incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania. It is the parent company of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (Bank), a Pennsylvania state chartered bank.

The accounting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry.

NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation

The Financial Statements of the Company have been consolidated with those of the Bank and its subsidiaries, eliminating all intercompany items and transactions.

The Statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the instructions to SEC Form 10-Q and GAAP for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements, as so adjusted, are not however necessarily indicative of the results of consolidated operations for a full year or any other period.

All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except as indicated and per share amounts are based on weighted average shares outstanding in each period. Net interest margin is stated on a tax equivalency yield.

For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE 3 — Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 loan and lease losses and the valuation of property that is included in “other real estate owned” on our consolidated balance sheet and that was acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for loan and lease losses and valuation of other real estate owned, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

NOTE 4 — Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted earnings per share include restricted stock awards calculated on the “Treasury Stock Method”. Restricted stock awards are issued subject to forfeiture during the vesting period.

NOTE 5 — Reclassifications

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

NOTE 6 — Investment Securities

Investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows:

Securities Held-to-Maturity – Bonds, notes, debentures and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining period to maturity.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Bonds, notes, debentures, mortgage-backed securities not classified as securities to be held to maturity and certain equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized.

The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is done based on management’s estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates.

 

11


Table of Contents

Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as a separate component of other income in the Statements of Income. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a separate item in computing comprehensive income.

Investment securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the security. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

At June 30, 2013, twenty-four securities had unrealized losses for less than twelve months and one security had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve or more months. At December 31, 2012, four securities had unrealized losses for less than twelve months and one security had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve or more months.

U.S. Agency Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Agency securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations and not credit quality. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

States and Political Subdivisions

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in states and political subdivisions were caused by interest rate fluctuations and not credit quality. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

Marketable Equity Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations and general market conditions. The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities consist primarily of investments in common stock of companies in the financial services industry. The Company has analyzed its equity portfolio and determined that the market value fluctuation in these equity securities is not a cause for recognition of a current loss. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their cost bases, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to loan delinquency, the level of classified commercial loans, net charge-offs, non-performing loans and the general economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the 8 risk grades is as follows:

Pass 1 (Minimal Risk – Cash equivalent or exceptional credit)

This classification includes loans which are fully secured by liquid collateral. Examples include: deposits, life insurance, certificates of deposit and securities.

 

15


Table of Contents

The borrower demonstrates exceptional credit fundamentals, including stable and predictable profit margins and cash flows, strong liquidity and a conservative balance sheet with superior asset quality. Excellent cash flow coverage of existing and projected debt service. Historic and projected performance indicates borrower is able to meet obligations under almost any economic circumstances. The company has very good, professional management with an excellent track record and good depth in successor management.

Pass 2 (Average Risk)

This classification includes all loans which have no identifiable risk of collection and conform in all aspects to the Bank’s policies and procedures as well as federal and state regulations. Documentation exceptions must be minimal and in the process of correction and not of a type that could subsequently introduce loan loss risk.

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service and some working assets and/or capital expansion needs. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are at or slightly above peers. Current trends are positive or stable. Earnings are level or above the last two years.

Management has average to good experience with similar business activities and markets. The present venture appears to be well within management’s capacity. Management has depth, less formal but acceptable succession plan and limited turnover in key positions.

The industry is relatively established and the borrower is well established within the industry. Over-capacity and competitive forces are consistent with normal business cycles.

Pass 3 (Acceptable Risk)

This classification includes loans with terms and conditions that may deviate from the Bank’s loan policy. Collateral marketability and margins may exceed policy. Significant administration may be required.

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, but most working asset and all capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Borrower is able to meet payments. Profitability ratios and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more ratios e.g. leverage may be higher than peer. Earnings may be trending down over the last three years. Borrower may be able to obtain similar financing from other banks with comparable or less favorable terms.

Some management weakness may be evident, primarily in lack of depth. Management may come from unrelated industries or have more limited but acceptable experience. Key management succession may not be clear.

Borrower generally has limited capacity for additional debt. The Borrower has modest but sufficient debt coverage. Loans are protected by collateral. Business may be adversely affected by deteriorating industry conditions, internal operations problems, pending litigation or declining collateral quality. Potential adverse conditions are manageable.

Industry may be transitional or historically volatile or may be trending down. Long-term outlook is acceptable. Firm may be established but not quite as strong or large as the average firm in the industry, or firm may be new in the industry.

Pass 4 (Watch)

This category can cover many different situations. A typical watch situation is one where a strong or moderately strong borrower suffers business reversals which are not long term but require attention.

The borrower has weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the company has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Borrowers may exhibit excessive growth, declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market position that indicate above average risk. Interim losses and/or adverse trends may occur, but not to the level that would affect the Bank’s position. Cash flow may be weak but minimally acceptable.

Loans rated 4 are not considered criticized or classified assets. The rating is effective until the credit is strengthened or the relationship is moved out of the Bank. Therefore, the category does not include loans with undue or unwarranted credit risks that constitute identifiable weaknesses.

Criticized – Other Assets Especially Mentioned (Rated 5)

A “Criticized” (OAEM) classification includes loans which are fundamentally sound, but exhibit potential weaknesses which require corrective action to avoid any future credit risk. Close monitoring by the loan officer is warranted. Assets with this classification do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to justify an adverse classification.

 

16


Table of Contents

The following criteria are representative of a Criticized grade:

 

   

An inadequate loan agreement or an inability to obtain the necessary loan documents or financial statements.

 

   

Loans for which the loan agreement terms or covenants have been violated or waived.

 

   

Adverse economic and market conditions which, in the future, may affect the borrower’s repayment ability.

 

   

An adverse trend in the borrower’s financial condition that has not yet reached the point where the original payment terms are jeopardized.

 

   

A payment schedule which delays principal amortization.

 

   

Loans with collateral values where there is little margin between liquidation value and the amount of the loan commitment, or where the collateral has shown evidence of deterioration.

 

   

Loan officers must work closely with the borrower and explore alternate means to diminish risk. Loans classified OAEM should be considered candidates for management by the Asset Recovery Officer.

Classified – Substandard (Rated 6)

Classified assets include loans with well-defined weaknesses which are inadequately protected by current net worth, repayment capacity, or pledged collateral of the borrower. Loans are classified when they have one or more weaknesses that could jeopardize debt repayment and/or liquidation, primarily resulting in the possibility that the Bank may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

A substandard loan may exhibit one or more of the following conditions:

 

   

Borrower is unable to generate enough cash flow for debt reduction.

 

   

Primary source of repayment is impaired or no longer available, and the Bank is relying upon the secondary source.

 

   

Loss does not seem likely, but sufficient problems have arisen to cause the Bank to go to abnormal lengths to protect its position in order to maintain a high probability of repayment.

 

   

Deterioration in the condition of the collateral or inadequate inspection or verification of value.

 

   

Documentation flaws leaving the Bank in a subordinated or unsecured position.

 

   

All substandard loans should be managed by the Asset Recovery Officer.

Doubtful (Rated 7)

An asset classified as Doubtful has all weaknesses inherent in the substandard category where collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and business restructure plans.

The Bank considers Doubtful to be a temporary classification and will only classify an asset, or portion of an asset, as such when the information is not available to conclude as to classification or more clearly define the potential for loss. All loans classified as Doubtful are placed on non-accrual status and assigned to the Asset Recovery Officer for supervision.

Loss (Rated 8)

An asset classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. All losses should be recognized in the quarter in which they are identified. These loans are to be managed by the Asset Recovery Officer.

Impaired Loans. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest income is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured with at least a six month positive payment history.

The loan classified as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR), was charged down during 2010 to a balance of $401 and the entire pre-modification balance was split into two notes. The customer is currently paying principal and interest on one note and interest only on the other note. Nonetheless, the loan is fully reserved based on management’s evaluation of both the customer’s ability to maintain its cash flow and the value of the underlying collateral.

NOTE 8 — Loan Servicing

The Company generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset within other assets and is being amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.

Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum, exceed the fair value.

NOTE 9 — Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the underlying fair value of merged entities. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and as triggering events occur. In making this assessment, management considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and current market 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, as well as other factors, could result in goodwill impairment in future periods.

NOTE 10 — Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include the premium assigned to the core deposit relationships acquired in connection with our acquisition of Old Forge Bank in 2009. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over ten years from the date of acquisition on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis. Amortization expense is expected to be as follows:

Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets that were accounted for at fair value and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Level I – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level II – Observable inputs other than Level I prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level III – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are developed using the reporting entities’ estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

A description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the classification of the assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, are as follows:

Securities Available-for-Sale

Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported using Level I, Level II and Level III inputs. Level I instruments generally include equity securities valued in accordance with quoted market prices in active markets. Level II instruments include U.S. government agency obligations, state and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level III instruments include certain non-public equity securities and real estate sold under contract. The Company did not hold any instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level III inputs as of June 30, 2013. See Note 3 – Investment Securities for additional information.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, include foreclosed and non-performing assets, goodwill and intangible assets.

A description of the valuation methodologies and classification levels used for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are listed as follows:

Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangibles

The Company employs general industry practices in evaluating the fair value of its goodwill and other identifiable intangibles. The Company calculates the fair value, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, using a combination of the following valuation methods: dividend discount analysis under the income approach, which calculates the present value of all excess cash flows plus the present value of a terminal value and market multiples (pricing ratios) under the market approach. Management performed a review of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles as of December 31, 2012. Goodwill and other identifiable intangibles were not evaluated during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of management’s determination that no evidence of impairment was present during the period.

Impaired Loans

At June 30, 2013 certain impaired loans were re-measured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral and the evaluation of expected future cash flows. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $4,848 were reduced by a specific valuation allowance allocation totaling $1,174, to a total reported fair value of $3,674 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level III valuation inputs.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. As with most financial institutions, the majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities, except for certain loans and investments. Therefore, the Company had to use significant estimates and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are outlined below. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed in the fair value measurements section above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the bank-owned life insurance policies. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:

Short-term financial instruments

The carrying value of short-term financial instruments including cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in banks and other short-term investments and borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities with interest rates that approximate market rates.

Table of Contents

Investment securities held-to-maturity

The estimated fair values of investment securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices provided by independent third parties that specialize in those investment sectors. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans

The loan portfolio, net of unearned income, has been valued by a third party valuation firm using quoted market prices, if available. When market prices were not available, a credit risk-based discounted cash flow analysis was utilized. The primary assumptions utilized in this analysis are the discount rate based on the LIBOR curve, adjusted for credit risk, and prepayment estimates based on factors such as refinancing incentives, age of the loan and seasonality. These assumptions were applied by loan category and different spreads were applied based upon prevailing market rates by category.

Deposits

The estimated fair values of demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (their carrying amounts). The fair value for certificates of deposit was calculated by an independent third party by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities, using a credit based risk model. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates fair value.

Long-term borrowings

The amounts assigned to long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices, when available, or based on discounted cash flow calculations using prevailing market interest rates for debt of similar terms.

The carrying and fair values of certain financial instruments are as follows:

NOTE 16 — Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatoryand possibly additional discretionaryactions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following Capital Adequacy table) of Tier I and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average assets (Leverage ratio). The table also presents the Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios. Management believes, as of June 30, 2013, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of June 30, 2013, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier I Capital, Total Capital and Leverage ratios as set forth in the Capital Adequacy table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s categorization by the FDIC.

The Company and Bank are also subject to minimum capital levels, which could limit the payment of dividends. As of June 30, 2013, the Company and Bank had capital levels that were in excess of the minimum capital level ratios required to pay dividends.

The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts capital funds available for payment of dividends to the retained earnings of the Bank. The balances in the capital stock and surplus accounts are unavailable for dividends. Dividends from the Bank are the Company’s primary source of funds.

In addition, the Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by Federal law on certain transactions with the Company’s affiliates. These transactions include extensions of credit, purchases of or investments in stock issued by an affiliate, purchases of assets subject to certain exceptions, acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for loans, and the issuance of guarantees, acceptances, and letters of credit on behalf of affiliates. These restrictions prevent the Company’s affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by obligations of designated amounts. Further, the aggregate value of such transactions between the Bank and a single affiliate is limited in amount to 10 percent of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus, and the aggregate value of such transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20 percent of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus. The Federal Reserve System has interpreted “capital stock and surplus” to include undivided profits.

Note 17 — Post-retirement Life Insurance Benefit

In 1995, the Company established a post-retirement life insurance benefit equal to three times the employees’ salary at retirement for all employees employed with the Company at July 1, 1995. Employees hired by the Company after July 1, 1995, received a post-retirement life insurance benefit equal to $50,000 at retirement, which decreases by $5,000 annually to a minimum benefit of $5,000 by the time the recipient reaches age 75. In June of 2012, the Company amended the post-retirement life insurance benefit for all active employees, regardless of hire date, to a benefit of $50,000 at retirement, then decreasing by $5,000 a year to $5,000 at age 75. Because the product offered is term life insurance, the Company is exposed to increasing costs in future years.

The Company is evaluating various options to reduce or settle its obligation for benefits, to the current retiree group only. One option under consideration is a plan offered by an insurance company, as to this current retiree group, whereby the Company would enter into an agreement with the insurance company to transfer all risk and obligation for the benefits payable as to the current retiree group in exchange for a one-time fixed payment by the Company.

Table of Contents

The agreement would require a one-time payment to the insurance company, estimated to be approximately $4.1 million. There would be no further cost to the Company as to the current retirees, after this payment. The Company would recognize a settlement charge, net of tax, of approximately $1.6 million in the period in which it occurs.

Note 18 — Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 28, 2013, the Company announced it had entered into a merger agreement with Peoples Financial Services Corp (“Peoples”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Peoples. The merger agreement provides that shareholders of the Company will receive a fixed ratio of 1.3636 shares of Peoples common stock for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the merger agreement. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of the Company and Peoples. The transaction is subject to the receipt of shareholder approval from the shareholders of both the Company and Peoples, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of Penseco Financial Services Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. Penseco Financial Services Corporation’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve System, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in Penseco Financial Services Corporation’s market area, changes in the values of real estate and other collateral, particularly in our market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines and inability of third party service providers to perform.

In addition to these risks, acquisitions and business combinations – such as the business combination currently proposed between Penseco Financial Services Corporation and Peoples Financial Services Corp. – present risks other than those presented by the nature of the business acquired. Acquisitions and business combinations may be substantially more expensive to complete than originally anticipated, and the anticipated benefits may be significantly harder – or take longer – to achieve than expected. As regulated financial institutions, our pursuit of attractive acquisition and business combination opportunities could be negatively impacted by regulatory delays or other regulatory issues. Regulatory and/or legal issues related to the pre-acquisition operations of an acquired or combined business may cause reputational harm to the Company or Peoples following the acquisition or combination, and integration of the acquired or combined business with ours may result in additional future costs arising as a result of those issues.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, Penseco Financial Services Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references in this Quarterly Report to “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Penseco Financial Services Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The following commentary provides an overview of the financial condition at June 30, 2013, including any significant changes from December 31, 2012, and significant changes in the results of our operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 28, 2013, the Company announced it had entered into a merger agreement with Peoples, pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Peoples. The merger agreement provides that shareholders of the Company will receive a fixed ratio of 1.3636 shares of Peoples common stock for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the merger agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 59% of the common stock in the combined company and Peoples shareholders are expected to own approximately 41%. As of June 30, 2013, Peoples had consolidated total assets, net loans, total deposits, and total shareholders’ equity of $689.0 million, $492.2 million, $596.9 million, and $67.6 million, respectively. Upon completion of the merger, the combined company is expected to have approximately $1.6 billion in assets. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of both the Company and Peoples. The transaction is subject to the receipt of shareholder approval from the shareholders of both the Company and Peoples, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Company believes that the successful completion of the merger will present an opportunity to generate greater earnings per share for Penseco shareholders and will better position the company for future growth than the Company could achieve by remaining independent. We expect the merger will create a larger, more profitable company that can better serve the consumer and business segments that we target in our footprint.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Provision and Allowance for loan and lease losses – The provision for loan and lease losses charged to operating expense represents the adjustment that, in management’s judgment, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level that is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The allowance for loan and lease losses is determined based on a documented methodology. This methodology considers all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loans within our portfolio, including past loan loss experience, management’s evaluation of the probable loss in the current loan portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors as, in management’s best judgment, merit recognition in estimating loan and lease losses.

Actuarial assumptions associated with pension, post-retirement and other employee benefit plans – These assumptions include discount rate, rate of future compensation increases and expected return on plan assets.

Income taxes – The calculation of the provision for federal income taxes is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments. Deferred federal income tax assets or liabilities represent the estimated impact of temporary differences between the recognition of assets and liabilities under GAAP, and how such assets and liabilities are recognized under the federal tax code. The Company uses an estimate of future earnings to support management’s position that the benefit of the deferred tax assets will be realized. If projected income is not recognized, at all or in the amounts predicted, the asset may not be realized and net income will be reduced. Deferred tax assets are described further in Note 19 of the “General Notes to Financial Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company and its subsidiary file income tax and other returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, Pennsylvania state jurisdiction and certain local jurisdictions.

Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the aggregate liabilities related to taxes are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. Federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2009.

Fair Value Measurements – Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayment speeds and other factors. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels within a valuation hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to each valuation as of the fair value measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level I – quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

34


Table of Contents

Level II – inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices of identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level III – inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Financial instruments are considered Level III when values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

Other-than-temporary impairment of investments – Investments are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent. It indicates that the prospects for a near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

Premium amortization – The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is done based on management’s estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates.

Loans purchased – Loans assumed in connection with the Company’s 2009 acquisition of Old Forge Bank in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $55.5 million (the “Merger”) were recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Management made three different types of fair value adjustments in order to record the loans at fair value. An interest rate fair value adjustment was made comparing current weighted average rates of the acquired loans to stated market rates of similar loan types. A general credit fair value adjustment was made on similar loan types based on historical loss projections plus a discount for the weak economic environment. A specific credit fair value adjustment was made to loans identified by management as being problematic. The specific loans have been discounted by management based on collateral values and expected cash flows. The interest rate and general credit fair value adjustments are being accreted over an eight year period based on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis. The specific credit fair value adjustment is reduced only when cash flows are received or loans are charged-off or transferred to other real estate owned.

Loan servicing rights – Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed the fair value.

Time deposits – Time deposits acquired through the Merger have been recorded at their acquisition date fair value. The fair value of time deposits represents the present value of the time deposits’ expected contractual payments discounted by market rates for similar deposits. The fair value adjustment is amortized monthly based on a level yield methodology.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase – The Company offers securities sold under agreements to repurchase as an alternative to conventional savings deposits for its customers. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as a collateralized borrowing with a one day maturity and are secured by U.S. Agency securities.

Core deposit intangible – The fair value assigned to the core deposit intangible asset represents the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits in the Merger compared to the cost of obtaining alternative funding, such as brokered deposits, from market sources. Management utilized an income approach to calculate the present value of the expected after-tax cash flow benefits of the acquired core deposits. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over ten years on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis.

Table of Contents

Goodwill – Goodwill is reviewed by management for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that its carrying amount exceeds fair value. Management has obtained a Step One Test, a professional evaluation of the Company as of December 31, 2012. The Company practice is currently to perform a Step One Test every other year and a Qualitative Test in the alternate years. The 2012 test was performed on this basis and not as a result of any qualitative factor indicating potential impairment. The evaluation considered both income and market approaches. Market conditions that could negatively impact the value of goodwill in the future are those set forth in the Risk Factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Management has determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2012. Goodwill and other identifiable intangibles were not evaluated during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of management’s determination that no evidence of impairment was present.

Depreciation – Provision for depreciation and amortization, computed principally on the straight-line method, is charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The Company reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $2,844, an increase of $245, or 9.4%, to $0.87 per basic and diluted weighted average share, compared with $2,599, or $0.79 per basic and diluted weighted average share, from the year ago period. Net interest income decreased $297, or 3.7%. Net interest income, after provision for loan and lease losses, decreased $683, or 8.6%, during the 2013 period, due to a decrease in interest income of $743, or 7.8%, and an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $386, offset by a decrease in interest expense of $446, or 31.7%, from lower funding costs. Non-interest income increased $435, or 16.6%, largely due to increased other operating income from a one-time bank-owned life insurance death benefit of $468. Non-interest expenses decreased $405, or 5.6%.

The Company reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $5,365, an increase of $36, or 0.7%, to $1.64 per basic and diluted weighted average share, compared with $5,329, or $1.63 per basic and diluted weighted average share, from the year ago period. Net interest income decreased $627, or 3.9%. Net interest income, after provision for loan and lease losses, decreased $1,121, or 7.0%, during the 2013 period, due to a decrease in interest income of $1,521, or 7.9%, and an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses of $494, offset by a decrease in interest expense of $894, or 31.0%, from lower funding costs. The decrease in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to investment and loan cash flows being reinvested at historically low yields, including excess reserve deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Non-interest income increased $367, or 6.7%, largely due to increased other operating income from a one-time bank-owned life insurance death benefit of $468. Non-interest expenses decreased $620, or 4.2%.

Accretion of the loan pools credit fair value adjustment and market rate fair value adjustment is calculated on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis over an eight year period. The fair value market rate adjustment of the time deposits is amortized monthly based on a level yield methodology over five years. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over ten years on a sum-of-the-years-digits basis.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, the principal component of the Company’s earnings, is defined as the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest-earning assets are composed primarily of loans and investment securities while deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings represent interest-bearing liabilities. Variations in the volume and mix of these assets and liabilities, as well as changes in the yields earned and rates paid, are determinants of changes in net interest income.

Net interest income decreased $297, or 3.7%, to $7,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $8,073 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 43 basis points, or 9.1%, to 4.32%, on a tax-equivalent basis.

The net interest margin represents the Company’s net yield on its average interest-earning assets and is calculated as net interest income, as adjusted to account for tax-exempt investments and loans, divided by average interest-earning assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, net interest margin decreased 21 basis points, to 3.87%, from 4.08% in the corresponding period of 2012.

Average interest-earning assets increased $11.3 million, or 1.3%, from $848.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $859.3 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $4.2 million, or 0.7%, from $643.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, to $638.9 million over the corresponding 2013 period. As a percentage of average assets, average interest-earning assets, including bank-owned life insurance (BOLI), increased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to 94.0% from 93.7%.

Changes in the mix of both interest-earning assets and funding sources also impacted net interest income in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets decreased from 75.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 74.6% for the corresponding period in 2013. Average investment securities decreased $14.4 million, or 7.7%, period over period, and as a percentage of interest-earning assets, decreased to 20.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 22.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Average short-term investments, federal funds sold, FHLB stock and interest-bearing balances with banks, increased as a percentage of average interest-earning assets to 5.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 2.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Average savings deposits increased $5.4 million, or 4.3%. Average

Table of Contents

time deposits decreased $27.6 million, or 13.7%, from $201.7 million, or 31.4%, of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $174.1 million, or 27.3%, of interest-bearing liabilities for the corresponding period of 2013, due primarily to the redemption of brokered certificates of deposit. Also, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, average securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $1.3 million, or 13.3%, and average long-term borrowings decreased $16.9 million, or 31.9%. Average demand non-interest bearing deposits increased $9.7 million, or 7.1%.

Shifts in the interest rate environment to lower rates and local competition for loans and deposits affected the rates paid for funds as well as the yields earned on assets. The investment securities tax equivalent yield decreased 24 basis points from 3.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 3.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Also, average loan yields decreased 38 basis points from 5.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 4.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $961, compared to $1,407 in the corresponding 2012 period, a decrease of $446 or 31.7%. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to 0.60%, compared to 0.88% in 2012.

The average time deposit costs decreased 25 basis points from 1.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 1.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the average cost of money market accounts decreased 11 basis points from 0.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 0.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The most significant impact on net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of, and rates earned or paid on, interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods.

The historically low interest rates continue to stress our margin as funding costs have reached a low point and asset yields for the most part continue to price downward.

(1) The net interest margin is equal to tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. In order to make pre-tax income on tax-exempt investments and loans comparable to taxable investments and loans, a tax equivalent adjustment, based on a 34% tax rate, is made to interest income. This adjustment increased interest income by $541 and $579 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company believes that the tax equivalent presentation is consistent with industry practice. Although the Company believes that these financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
(2) Non-accrual loan balances are included in their respective loan categories.

Net interest income decreased $627, or 3.9%, to $15,633 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $16,260 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 38 basis points, or 8.0%, to 4.39%, on a tax-equivalent basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net interest margin decreased 17 basis points, to 3.92%, from 4.09% in the corresponding period of 2012.

Average interest-earning assets remained unchanged from $851.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $13.1 million, or 2.0%, from $645.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, to $632.1 million over the corresponding 2013 period. As a percentage of average assets, average interest-earning assets, including bank-owned life insurance (BOLI), increased slightly for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to 94.0% from 93.9%.

Changes in the mix of both interest-earning assets and funding sources also impacted net interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets remained relatively unchanged from 74.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 74.7% for the corresponding period in 2013. Average investment securities decreased $15.4 million, or 8.1%, period over period, and as a percentage of interest-earning assets, decreased to 20.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 22.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Average short-term investments, federal funds sold, FHLB stock and interest-bearing balances with banks, increased as a percentage of average interest-earning assets to 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Average savings deposits increased $5.5 million, or 4.5%. Average time deposits decreased $32.0 million, or 15.5%, from $206.3 million, or 32.0%, of interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $174.3 million, or 27.6%, of interest-bearing liabilities for the corresponding period of 2013, due primarily to the redemption of brokered certificates of deposit. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, average securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.1 million, or 21.4%, and average long-term borrowings decreased $15.8 million, or 28.9%. Average demand non-interest bearing deposits increased $7.5 million, or 5.4%.

Shifts in the interest rate environment to lower rates and local competition for loans and deposits affected the rates paid for funds as well as the yields earned on assets. The investment securities tax equivalent yield decreased 34 basis points from 3.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 3.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Also, average loan yields decreased 33 basis points from 5.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 4.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses represents the charge to operating expense necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level which management determines is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the local economy continued to struggle. The local housing market remained weak and the unemployment rate in Northeastern Pennsylvania was 9.3% in May 2013. The Company continues to proactively evaluate probable loan and lease losses and address delinquent loans by, among other things, obtaining current appraisals of collateral, increasing communication with clients and placing loans on non-accrual status when collection is in doubt and the loan is moving toward foreclosure.

The Bank’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) is based on a documented analysis of its loan portfolio. This analysis considers all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loans within our portfolio and supports the credit losses estimated by this process. Our ALLL methodology includes procedures for a review by a party who is independent of the Bank’s credit approval and ALLL estimation processes.

The Bank follows its allowance methodology in accordance with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) Interagency Policy Statements, as amended, and GAAP in assessing the adequacy of its allowance for loan and lease losses. Under GAAP, the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses is determined based on the provisions of FASB ASC 310 for loans specifically identified to be individually evaluated for impairment and the requirements of FASB ASC 450 for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans to be collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans are identified by the Bank’s rating system, past due reports, watch list and sensitivity to economic factors and are then collectively evaluated for impairment compared to other loans utilizing standard criteria. Consideration is given to current local economic conditions which the Company continues to classify as recessionary.

The Bank’s historical analysis of loss factors considers the current trends in local economic conditions affecting the Bank. This methodology is designed to address deterioration in local economic conditions and to provide the Bank with the most current information available for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, and in view of the concentration of the Bank’s loan portfolio in real estate – approximately 77% of the portfolio is secured by real estate mainly in the counties in which the Bank operates – the Bank also took into account the decline in real estate sales and new construction in our market area and drop in real estate values within the market area, over the past three years. The Bank’s provision for loan and lease losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was allocated primarily to commercial portfolios. Reference should be made to the information about the Company’s provision for loan and lease losses under the heading “Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements – Note 7”.

Management continues to focus on trends in real estate delinquencies related to the poor local labor and housing markets in determining the allowance for loan and lease losses. Management also continually compares the probable losses estimated in accordance with our allowance for loan and lease loss methodology with actual losses incurred.

Based on this methodology, management made a provision for loan and lease losses of $800 for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to a $306 provision for the comparable prior year period, resulting in an allowance for loan and lease losses of $7,552 at June 30, 2013 compared to $6,938 at June 30, 2012. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, the provision for loan and lease losses was $924, resulting in an allowance for loan and lease losses of $6,950 at December 31, 2012.

The Company believes that the judgments used in determining the allowance for loan and lease losses are based on reliable information. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, management considers how well prior estimates have related to actual experience. The Company continually monitors the risk elements, historical rates and other data used in determining the allowance on a periodic basis. Based on this ongoing evaluation, a provision for loan and lease losses is made in the amount necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance.

The methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgment-based and subject to changes in external conditions. Although management uses available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. As a result, our allowance for loan and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan and lease losses, and future provisions for loan and lease losses could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses. Discussions with these regulatory agencies may result in adjustments to the Company’s allowance based on judgments about information available to the agencies at the time of their examination.

Other than the risks associated with the geographic concentration of our customers, facilities and the collateral securing some of our loans, there are no particular risk elements in the local economy that put a group or category of loans at increased risk. However, the Company has increased its portfolio of commercial, commercial real estate and

municipal loans in the last five years, which typically bear a higher risk. These loans are typically secured by real estate to minimize this risk. At June 30, 2013, management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate to absorb probable loan and lease losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Total non-interest expenses decreased $620, or 4.2%, to $13,981 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $14,601 for the corresponding period in 2012. This decrease was attributable to a $129 decrease in salaries and employee benefits due to lower compensation expenses. Merchant transaction expenses decreased $120, due to lower volume. FDIC insurance assessments decreased $101 from the refund of the pre-paid FDIC insurance assessment. Also, other operating expenses decreased $220, resulting mostly from a $167 reduction in Pennsylvania shares tax expense and reduced legal and professional fees.

Income Taxes

Applicable income taxes decreased $88, or 12.2%, and $170, or 11.0%, primarily due to lower taxable income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company’s investment portfolio has two primary functions: to provide liquidity and to contribute to earnings. To provide liquidity, the Company may invest in short-term securities such as Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks, which are classified as cash equivalents, as well as U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Agency securities with maturities of one year or less. These funds are invested on a short-term basis to ensure the availability of funds to meet customer demand for credit needs. The Company is considering replacing investment proceeds with loans and the remainder of the excess cash flows being redeployed into AAA-rated securities with mid to long-term durations in order to increase investment yields.

The Company enhances interest income by securing long-term investments within its investment portfolio by means of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency securities, municipal securities and mortgage-backed securities, generally with maturities greater than one year. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio does not contain any sub-prime or Alt-A credits.

The Company did not purchase any loans during the six months ended June 30, 2013, other than loan participations with local banks in the Bank’s primary market area. Originations of new loans in 2013 were primarily residential real estate and commercial real estate.

The Company has not engaged in any sub-prime residential mortgage lending. Therefore, the Company is not subject to any credit risks associated with such loans. The Company’s loan portfolio consists primarily of residential and commercial mortgage loans secured by properties located in Northeastern Pennsylvania and subject to what we believe are conservative underwriting standards.

Loans secured by real estate continue to be the largest component of the loan portfolio, representing 77% of total loans at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Economic conditions and recessionary concerns over the past several years have resulted in lower levels of loan demand. The decline in loan applications has remained consistent with our historical experience. As we expect these conditions and concerns to continue for the near term, we expect that loan growth may be slower than historically expected.

Loan Quality

Our lending activities are guided by a comprehensive lending policy approved by our board of directors. Loans must meet certain criteria relating to the character, capacity and capital of the borrower, collateral provided for the loan, and prevailing economic conditions. Our non-performing assets and charge-offs are well below industry levels, which we believe reflects the consistent application of our conservative underwriting standards.

Regardless of credit standards, there is risk of loss inherent in every loan portfolio. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at an amount that management believes is adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as change in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, industry experience, collateral value and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate at June 30, 2013. Management uses available information to estimate probable losses on loans;

however, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance, or take other actions that would impact the allowance, based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance for loan and lease losses is increased by periodic charges against earnings as a provision for loan and lease losses, and decreased periodically by charge-offs of loans (or parts of loans) management has determined to be uncollectible, net of actual recoveries on loans previously charged-off.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans was 1.18% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2012 and 1.09% at June 30, 2012.

Market Area

The Northeastern Pennsylvania economy in which we operate has been affected by the economic decline that has affected the U.S. economy as a whole. The national unemployment rate was 7.6% while the statewide unemployment rate stood at 7.5% and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area unemployment rate was 9.3% for May 2013. The region still leads the state’s 14 metro areas with the highest unemployment rate for the thirty-eighth consecutive month, according to the data released recently by the State Department of Labor and Industry. The high unemployment rate can be attributed to a gradual decline in manufacturing in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and much like the rest of the country, a slowdown in construction of residential and commercial property.

The high unemployment in Northeastern Pennsylvania will continue to put pressure on the local economy and on our loan portfolio, even as average home prices increased 11.6% for the twelve months ending in April 2013, according to the latest Case-Shiller House Price Index, which is a leading measure for the U.S. residential housing market. We believe that our focus on identifying borrowers who are facing cash flow problems before they are unable to make their payments will significantly improve our ability to help these borrowers maintain their debt service through difficult times.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days and when payment in full is not anticipated. For commercial loans, an appraisal is obtained if the loan has been downgraded and the appraisal on file is at least one year old. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured after a minimum of a six month positive payment history.

In 2008, the Company was notified that The Education Resources Institute, Inc. (TERI), a guarantor of a portion of our student loan portfolio, had filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $6,036 of TERI-guaranteed loans out of a total student loan portfolio of $11,565. The Company does not anticipate that TERI’s bankruptcy filing will significantly impact the Company’s financial statements. These loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become more than 90 days past due. As of June 30, 2013, $38 of such loans were on non-accrual status.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to $2,593 and $2,012 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If interest on non-accrual loans had been accrued, such income would have been $100 and $72 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. No interest income on non-accrual loans was received in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are in non-accrual status.

As of June 30, 2013, our non-performing loans were comprised of forty-four loans of which nine loans were in excess of one hundred thousand dollars in size and the remainder of which were less than one hundred thousand dollars each.

Management’s process for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses includes reviewing each month’s loan committee reports which list all loans that do not meet certain internally developed criteria as to collateral adequacy, payment performance and overall credit risk. These reports also address the current status and actions in process on each listed loan. This information is used in our ALLL methodology and resulting adjustments

are made to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Such adjustments include both specific loss allocation amounts and general provisions by loan category based on present and past collection experience, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.

Estimated “low” and “high” allowances for loan and lease loss amounts are derived by accumulating the loss estimates for specific loans and general pools. The actual allowance for loan and lease losses, situated within the estimated low-to-high range, is approved on a quarterly basis by our board of directors.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had total impaired loans of $4,848. Of the total allowance for loan and lease losses, $1,174 was specifically related to these impaired loans at June 30, 2013.

Most of the Company’s lending activity is with customers located in the Company’s geographic market area and repayment thereof is affected by economic conditions in this market area.

* Percent of loans in each category to total loans

The entire ALLL is available for losses in any loan category, notwithstanding the allocation above.

As of June 30, 2013, the total of the allowance for loan and lease losses was $7,552. Through the application of our ALLL methodology, the allowance reflects management’s conservative view of the local economic conditions.

As a result of the local and national weakness in the residential real estate industry, and to evaluate a potential loan loss, the Bank orders a current appraisal of the collateral securing such loan after it is 90 days delinquent to assess the current loan to value ratio. An appraisal is ordered in the case of commercial loans, if a loan has been downgraded and the current appraisal on file is at least one year old. Both residential and commercial appraisals continue to be discounted appropriately for purposes of applying loan to value requirements in the Bank’s loan policy, in view of the weak real estate market.

Other Real Estate Owned

The Bank has six properties in other real estate owned as of June 30, 2013 with a value of $949 compared to $656 at December 31, 2012 and $726 at June 30, 2012. Of the six properties two are commercial with a carrying value of $756 and the remaining four properties are residential. The Bank had seven residential properties in other real estate owned on December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Bank had eight properties in other real estate owned. Of the eight properties, one was commercial with a carrying value of $100; the remaining seven properties were residential.

The Company largely relies on its core deposit base of checking and savings accounts to fund operations. Management has competitively priced its deposit products in checking, savings, money market and time deposits to provide a stable source of funding.

In general, as interest rates in the economy change, some deposits migrate towards investments with higher anticipated yields. Historically, the Bank’s core deposits have been stable and not significantly impacted by such trends.

As of June 30 2013, the Company had Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) reciprocal deposits in the amount of $25.2 million. The Bank also currently issues brokered certificates of deposit as an alternative to wholesale funding due to their favorable terms. There was no balance outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The brokered certificates of deposit issued are generally a low cost alternative to wholesale funding with the majority offered having a call feature optionality not provided by wholesale funding.

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in such a way that the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals are met in the most economical manner. Management monitors its liquidity position continuously in relation to trends of loans and deposits for short-term as well as long-term requirements. Liquid assets are monitored on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization. Management also manages its liquidity requirements by maintaining readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources.

The Company remains in a highly liquid condition both in the short and long term and does not foresee any adverse trends in liquidity. Sources of liquidity include the Company’s U.S. Agency bond portfolios, additional deposits, earnings, overnight loans to and from other companies (Federal Funds) and lines of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Company is not a party to any commitments, guarantees or obligations that could materially affect its liquidity.

The Bank offers collateralized securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which have a one day maturity, as an alternative deposit option for its customers. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as a collateralized borrowing with a one day maturity and are collateralized by U.S. Agency securities. The Bank also has long-term debt outstanding to the FHLB, originated in prior years. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had $201,535 of available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, a borrower-in-custody (BIC) line of credit of $32,650 with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, available borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve discount window of $11,234, an overnight Federal funds line of credit of $19,000 with PNC Bank and an overnight Federal funds line of credit of $5,000 with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders. The Company’s primary source of funds is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company is generally restricted under Pennsylvania law to the retained earnings of the Bank.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets presented.

The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial 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 expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Legal Proceedings

Various actions and proceedings are presently pending to which the Company is a party. Management is of the opinion that the aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such actions would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Regulatory Matters

The new Basel III capital rules for community banks will begin transitioning on January 1, 2015. The new minimum capital requirements are effective on January 1, 2015, whereas the capital conversion buffer and the deductions from common equity tier 1 capital phase in over time.

The new rule takes important steps toward improving the quality and increasing the quantity of capital for all banking organizations as well as setting higher standards for large, internationally active banking organizations. The new Basel III rule will result in capital requirements that better reflect banking organizations’ risk profiles, thereby improving the overall resilience of the banking system. The federal banking agencies have carefully considered the potential impacts on all banking organizations, including community banking organizations, and sought to minimize the potential burden of these changes where consistent with applicable law and the agencies’ goals of establishing a robust and comprehensive capital framework.

Capital Resources

A strong capital position is important to the continued profitability of the Company and promotes depositor and investor confidence. The Company’s capital provides a basis for future growth and expansion and also provides additional protection against unexpected losses.

Additional sources of capital are retained earnings from the operations of the Company and proceeds from the sale of additional shares of common stock. Management has no plans to offer additional shares of common stock at this time.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board). 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 Company and the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 17.78% at June 30, 2013. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 17.17% at June 30, 2013; this is more than the 10.00% ratio that Federal regulators use as the “well capitalized”

threshold under the Federal prompt corrective action regulations. This is the current criteria which the FDIC uses in determining the lowest insurance rate for deposit insurance. The Bank’s risk-based capital ratio is more than double the 8.00% minimum threshold, which determines whether a company is “adequately capitalized”. Under these rules, the Bank could significantly increase its assets and still comply with these capital requirements without the necessity of increasing its equity capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit Fair Value Adjustment

Management believes that the following information, as to the Company’s evaluation of probable credit losses and its effect on results of operations and financial condition, is useful to investors. The Company has provided for anticipated loan losses through the allowance for loan and lease losses and a credit fair value adjustment on loans acquired, as shown below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company currently does not enter into derivative financial instruments, which include futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. However, the Company is party to traditional financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit. These traditional instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Company until the instrument is exercised.

The Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Bank’s board of directors. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to manage the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and manage the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and an interest rate shock simulation report. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. Management believes the Company’s market risk is reasonable at this time.

For a discussion of the Company’s asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Company’s financial instruments, see Item 7A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Management, as part of its regular practices, performs

Table of Contents

periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon net interest income and market value of the Company’s portfolio equity. Based on, among other factors, such reviews, management believes that there have been no material changes in the market risk of the Company’s asset and liability position since December 31, 2012.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Finance Division Head (our principal financial officer), we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Finance Division Head concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings.

None.

Item 1A — Risk Factors.

There are no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 14, 2013, except for the following risk factors which have been amended or added since December 31, 2012.

We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger with Peoples is pending.

Uncertainties about the effect of our pending merger with Peoples on our business may have an adverse effect on us. These uncertainties may also impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate strategic personnel until the merger is consummated, and could cause our customers and others that deal with us to seek to change their existing business relationship, which could negatively impact the combined bank upon consummation of the merger. In addition, the merger agreement restricts us from taking certain specified actions without Peoples’ consent until the merger is consummated. These restrictions may prevent us from pursuing or taking advantage of attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger.

The merger agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the merger with Peoples.

The merger agreement contains terms and conditions that make it more difficult for us to engage in a business combination with a party other than Peoples. Subject to limited exceptions, we are required to convene a special meeting of shareholders and our board of directors is required to recommend approval of the merger agreement. If our board of directors determines to accept a superior acquisition proposal from a competing third party, we will be obligated to pay a $3.7 million termination fee to Peoples. A competing third party may be discouraged from considering or proposing a business combination with us, including an acquisition on better terms than those reflected in the merger agreement with Peoples, due to the termination fee and our obligations under the merger agreement.

Penseco shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Peoples common stock that they will receive in the merger.

The merger agreement provides that Penseco shareholders will receive in exchange for each share of Penseco common stock they own immediately prior to completion of the merger 1.3636 shares of Peoples common stock, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described in the merger agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”). At the time the merger agreement was signed, the closing price of Peoples common stock on the OTCQB was $35.25. Except under limited circumstances, if Peoples’ stock price declines prior to the completion of the merger, Peoples will not be required to adjust the Exchange Ratio. As a result, the market price of shares of Peoples common stock that a Penseco shareholder receives in the merger may decline from the date when the merger agreement was signed to the closing of the merger.

Table of Contents

In addition, relative prices of Peoples common stock and Penseco common stock are likely to change between the dates of the joint proxy statement/prospectus to be mailed to Penseco shareholders in connection with the special meeting at which Penseco shareholders will be asked to approve the merger. The market prices of Peoples and Penseco common stock may change as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in business, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the control of Peoples and Penseco. As Peoples and Penseco market share prices fluctuate, the value of the shares of Peoples common stock that a Penseco shareholder will receive will correspondingly fluctuate. It is impossible to predict accurately the market price of Peoples common stock upon, or after completion of, the merger. Accordingly, it is also impossible to predict accurately the market value of the consideration to be received by shareholders of Penseco in the merger upon their exchange of shares of Penseco common stock for shares of Peoples common stock.

Failure to complete the merger could negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

If the merger is not completed for any reason, we will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:

 

   

the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of our shares reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed;

 

   

costs relating to the merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and, in specified circumstances, termination fees, must be paid even if the merger is not completed; and

 

   

the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day business operations and the potential disruption to our employees and business relationships during the period before the completion of the merger may make it difficult to regain financial and market positions if the merger does not occur.
