FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fulton Financial Corporation (the Corporation) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

NOTE B – Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
For diluted net income per share, net income is divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options and restricted stock.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows:

The other-than-temporary impairment charges for equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were for investments in stocks of financial institutions and were due to the severity and duration of the declines in the fair values of certain bank stock stocks, in conjunction with management's assessment of the near-term prospects of each specific issuer.

The Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2013.
The unrealized holding losses on auction rate securities, or auction rate certificates (ARCs) are attributable to liquidity issues resulting from the failure of periodic auctions. Fulton Financial Advisors (FFA) is the investment management and trust division of the Corporation’s Fulton Bank, N.A. subsidiary. FFA had previously purchased ARCs for customers as short-term investments with fair values that could be derived based on periodic auctions under normal market conditions. During 2008 and 2009, the Corporation purchased ARCs from customers due to the failure of these periodic auctions, which made these previously short-term investments illiquid.
As of June 30, 2013, approximately $146 million, or 95%, of the ARCs were rated above investment grade, with approximately $8 million, or 5%, AAA rated and $100 million, or 66%, AA rated. Approximately $7 million, or 5%, of ARCs were either not rated or rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency. Of this amount, approximately $5 million, or 70%, of the student loans underlying these ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. In total, approximately $150 million, or 98%, of the student loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. As of June 30, 2013, all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments. Based on management’s evaluations, ARCs with a fair value of $152.6 million were not subject to any other-than-temporary impairment charges as of June 30, 2013. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.
For its investments in equity securities, particularly its investments in stocks of financial institutions, management evaluates the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold those investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a recovery of fair value,

13


the Corporation does not consider those investments with unrealized holding losses as of June 30, 2013 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
The majority of the Corporation's available for sale corporate debt securities are issued by financial institutions. The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of corporate debt securities:

The Corporation’s investments in single-issuer trust preferred securities had an unrealized loss of $5.5 million at June 30, 2013. The Corporation did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges for single-issuer trust preferred securities during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. The Corporation held seven single-issuer trust preferred securities that were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with an amortized cost of $20.8 million and an estimated fair value of $19.5 million at June 30, 2013. The majority of the single-issuer trust preferred securities rated below investment grade were rated BB or Ba. Single-issuer trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $4.7 million and an estimated fair value of $3.7 million at June 30, 2013 were not rated by any ratings agency.
As of June 30, 2013, the Corporation held eight pooled trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $3.8 million and an estimated fair value of $5.4 million that were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with ratings ranging from C to Ca. The class of securities held by the Corporation was below the most senior tranche, with the Corporation’s interests being subordinate to other investors in the pool. The Corporation determines the fair value of pooled trust preferred securities based on quotes provided by third-party brokers.
The amortized cost of pooled trust preferred securities is the purchase price of the securities, net of cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges, determined using an expected cash flows model. The most significant input to the expected cash flows model is the expected payment deferral rate for each pooled trust preferred security. The Corporation evaluates the financial metrics, such as capital ratios and non-performing assets ratios, of the individual financial institution issuers that comprise each pooled trust preferred security to estimate its expected deferral rate.
Based on management’s evaluations, corporate debt securities with a fair value of $107.5 million were not subject to any additional other-than-temporary impairment charges as of June 30, 2013. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The Corporation’s allowance for credit losses includes: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans evaluated for impairment under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 310-10-35; and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans measured for impairment under FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20.
The Corporation segments its loan portfolio by general loan type, or "portfolio segments," as presented in the table under the heading, "Loans, Net of Unearned Income," above. Certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on “class segments,” which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. For commercial loans, class segments include loans secured by collateral and unsecured loans. Construction loan class segments include loans secured by commercial real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate and loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. Consumer loan class segments include direct consumer installment loans and indirect automobile loans.
