NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                The information contained in this report is unaudited.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information.  Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications and those reclassifications are not material to previously issued financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the information reflects all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The accounting policies of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Susquehanna"), as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented on pages 79 through 84 of Susquehanna’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and contingent amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the estimated residual value of leases; determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses; the fair value of financial instruments, such as loans, investment securities, and derivatives; measurement and assessment of goodwill, intangible assets, and other purchase accounting related adjustments; benefit plan obligations and expenses; and income tax assets, liabilities and expenses.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires an entity to disclose the nature of its rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The objective of ASU 2011-11 is to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosures will give financial statement users information about both gross and net exposures. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013 and will be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of the amendment, in the first quarter of 2013, did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite – Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.  This ASU clarifies the assessment options and testing processes previously defined in ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment issued in September 2011.  ASU 2012-02 is effective for interim and annual impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance, in the first quarter of 2013, did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition.

In January 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This ASU clarifies that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, issued in December 2011.  ASU 2013-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance, in the first quarter of 2013, did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition, however did result in an additional disclosure.  For additional information about this disclosure, refer to “Note 13.  Derivative Financial Instruments”.

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Update No. 2011-12.  This ASU requires entities to disclose information regarding reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their annual financial statements in a single

note or on the face of the financial statements.  ASU 2013-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance, in the first quarter of 2013, did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial condition, however did result in additional disclosures.  For more information about these disclosures, refer to Note 9.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”.

NOTE 2. Acquisitions

On February 17, 2012, Susquehanna acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Tower Bancorp, Inc. (“Tower”), headquartered in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, through the merger of Tower with and into Susquehanna. The results of operations acquired in the Tower transaction have been included in Susquehanna’s financial results since the acquisition date, February 17, 2012. Tower shareholders received, at their election, either 3.4696 shares of Susquehanna common stock, or $28.00 in cash, or some combination of shares and cash, for each share of Tower common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Tower merger, with $88.0 million of the aggregate merger consideration being paid in cash. A total of 30.8 million shares of Susquehanna common stock were issued in connection with the Tower merger.

The Tower transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Assets acquired totaled $2,388,122, including $1,975,488 of loans and leases (including $854,993 of commercial real estate loans, $136,979 of commercial loans and leases, and $758,803 of residential real estate loans). Liabilities assumed aggregated $2,255,413, including $2,074,372 of deposits. The transaction added $302,112 to the Susquehanna shareholders’ equity. Goodwill of $257,408, was recorded as a result of the transaction, including an adjustment of $10,547 for provisional amounts included in the previously estimated purchase price allocation.

The consideration transferred for Tower’s common equity and the amounts of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were as follows:

In many cases, determining the fair value of the purchased assets and assumed liabilities required Susquehanna to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of these determinations related to the valuation of purchased loans.

The core deposit intangible of $24,005 is being amortized using an accelerated method over a period of 10 years based upon the estimated economic benefits received.

The fair value of checking, savings and money market deposit accounts acquired from Tower was assumed to be approximately the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificate of deposit accounts were valued as the present value of the certificates’ expected contractual payments discounted at market rates for similar certificates.

In connection with the Tower acquisition, Susquehanna incurred merger-related expenses related to personnel, occupancy and equipment, and other costs of integrating and conforming acquired operations with and into Susquehanna. Those expenses consisted largely of costs related to professional services, conversion of systems and/or integration of operations, and termination of existing contractual arrangements of Tower to purchase various services; initial marketing and promotion expenses designed to introduce Susquehanna to its new customers; travel costs; and printing, postage, supplies, and other costs of completing the transaction and commencing operations in new markets and offices. A summary of merger-related expenses included in the consolidated statement of income follows:

There were no merger-related expenses incurred during the three month period ending March 31, 2013.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

If the Tower acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2012, total revenue, net of interest expense, would have been approximately $188.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and net income from continuing operations would have been approximately $23.6 million for the same period.

Pro forma results of operations do not include the impact of conforming certain acquiree accounting policies to Susquehanna’s policies. The pro forma financial information does not indicate the impact of possible business model changes nor does it consider any potential impacts of current market conditions or revenues, expense efficiencies, or other factors.

were backed by loans identified by the issuer as subprime or Alt-A collateral. Management has analyzed the collateral underlying these securities with respect to defaults, loan to collateral value ratios, current levels of subordination, and geographic concentrations and concluded that one of these securities is other-than-temporarily impaired.

Susquehanna recorded other-than-temporary impairment losses as presented in the following table:

Susquehanna estimated the portion of loss attributable to credit using a discounted cash flow model. Susquehanna, in conjunction with a third-party financial advisory firm, assisted with the development of critical assumptions including the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities using internal credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment risk models that incorporated management’s best estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity, and prepayment rates.  Assumptions used can vary widely from loan to loan and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics, and collateral type. The distribution of underlying cash flows is determined in accordance with the security’s terms. Expected principal and interest cash flows on an other-than-temporarily impaired debt security are discounted using the effective yield of that debt security.

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, Susquehanna expects to recover the unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income ($745 and $4,144 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively). Significant assumptions used in the valuation of these other-than-temporarily impaired securities were as follows:

			Weighted-average (%)
			March 31,
			2013	2012
		Conditional repayment rate (1)	10.3%	9.9%
		Loss severity (2)	43.0%	46.6%
		Conditional default rate (3)	3.8%	6.0%
(1)	Conditional repayment rate represents a rate equal to the proportion of principal balance paid off voluntarily over a certain period of time on an annualized basis.
(2)	Loss severity rates are projected by considering collateral characteristics such as current loan-to-value, original creditworthiness of borrowers (FICO score) and geographic concentration.
(3)	Conditional default rate is an annualized rate of default on a group of mortgages, and represents the percentage of outstanding principal balances in the pool that are in default, which typically equates to the borrower being past due 60 days, 90 days, or possibly already in the foreclosure process.

Management provides input and monitors the third party valuation process of the non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. A detailed review of the critical assumptions and inputs is performed by Susquehanna’s Corporate Investment Committee (“CIC”). Key assumptions reviewed by the CIC include prepayment assumptions, default rates, loss severity, bond waterfall payments, and the discount rate. Additionally, available market indications of similar securities are provided by Susquehanna to the third party and are given a significant weighting by the third party.

Other structured financial products. Susquehanna’s structured financial product investments are comprised of four pooled trust preferred securities which have an aggregate unrealized loss of $15,072 and $16,859 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All of these securities are below investment grade but are of a more senior tranche of the specific issue. Susquehanna has contracted with a third-party financial advisory firm (“third party firm”) to assist in its other-than-temporary impairment analysis of its structured financial product investments. Management has assisted with the development of, and performed a detailed review of the critical assumptions. The review of the inputs for the valuation of the pooled trust preferred securities is performed by the CIC. Key aspects reviewed by CIC include the detail on non-performing financial institutions within the pools of trust preferred securities, the probability of default of the underlying institutions within the pools, the discount rate, trades of similar securities and indexes, and the weighting given to market indications. Susquehanna management believes that the valuation analysis and methodology reasonably supports the value and projected performance of the specific trust preferred securities. Management believes this valuation methodology presents an appropriate approach in the determination of other-than-temporary impairment charges in accordance with GAAP.

The third party firm uses a proprietary methodology to determine the other-than-temporary impairment of Susquehanna’s pooled trust preferred securities. Using publicly available financial information, the third party firm’s valuation analysis compares the present value of the expected base cash flows with the amortized cost basis of the trust preferred securities to determine whether Susquehanna expects to receive the entire amortized cost basis of such securities. To make this comparison, the third party firm evaluates two scenarios consisting of three phases each. The two scenarios are: (1) the first dollar loss scenario, and, (2) the expected or forecasted scenario. The three phases associated with each scenario are production of cash flows, application of the cash flows to the percent owned, and assessment of any other-than-temporary impairment.

To determine expected cash flows, the valuation analysis considers credit default rates, call options and deferrals, waterfall structure, and covenants relating to the trust preferred securities. The trust indenture documentation and the trustee reports for each specific trust preferred security issuance provides information regarding deferral rights, call options, various triggers, (including over-

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

collateralization triggers), and waterfall structure, which management believes is essential in determining projected base cash flows. The third party firm determines short-term default risk using ratios, including the Texas ratio, that relate to the issuers, capitalization, asset quality, profitability, and liquidity. To determine longer term default probabilities, the third party firm uses an internal scoring approach that relies on key historical financial performance ratios. Management believes that future cash flows for these securities are reasonably developed and supported.

If a collateral security is in default at the assessment date, a recovery rate specific to the issuer of the collateral security is incorporated into the expected cash flows with a twenty-four month lag in timing of receipt of those expected cash flows. The third party firm calculates a terminal default rate based upon certain key financial ratios of the active issuers in the security relative to all FDIC insured bank institutions. The active issuers of the collateral securities are summarized as a weighted average based on issue size according to status of deferral and default assumption. To enhance the analysis, the third party firm calculates the standard deviation across the issuers for each ratio and removes any issuer that falls more than three standard deviations above or below the average for that ratio. No recovery is incorporated into the expected cash flows for any issuers that exceed the terminal default rate. For issuers currently making interest payments and for those currently deferring interest payments, Susquehanna makes an estimate using publicly available financial information as to the likelihood and timing of any default, after which the estimated cash flow reflects a recovery rate specific to the issuer. Issuers of collateral securities that are currently deferring interest payments and not expected to default are assumed to continue to defer interest payments for twenty quarters, the full contractually permitted deferral, from the period of initial deferral.

In considering the amount and timing of expected cash flows on the pooled trust preferred securities, management considers the right of the issuers of the securities underlying the pooled trust preferred securities to call those collateral securities. Management assesses any projected exercise of the call option, incorporating changes in economic and market conditions and the impact of any change in timing of expected cash flows in the measurement of fair value and other-than-temporary impairment.

The discount rate applied to the projected cash flows for the specific class is calculated using a spread to the current swap curve. The swap curve gives a market participant perspective of the term structure of interest rates and on credit spreads. The determination of the discount rate used in Susquehanna’s valuation is based upon the referenced swap curve plus an additional credit spread based upon the credit rating of the class. Lower rated classes would have a wider implied credit spread. These multiple discount rates are then applied to the estimated cash flows in determining the estimated value.

(1)	Susquehanna determines whether it expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to be collected with the amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the present value of the current estimated cash flows is equal to or greater than the book value of the trust preferred securities held. Consequently, there is no credit-related other-than-temporary impairment required to be recognized.
(2)	Includes current interest deferrals for the quarter for those institutions deferring as of the date of the assessment of the other-than-temporary impairment. Current deferrals are assumed to continue for twenty quarters, the full contractually permitted deferral period, if the institutions are not projected to default prior to that time.
(3)	Includes those institutions that are performing but are not projected to continue to perform and includes those institutions that are currently deferring interest that are projected to default, based upon third-party proprietary valuation methodology used to determine future defaults. Creditworthiness of each underlying issue in the collateralized debt obligation is determined using publicly available data.

Susquehanna monitors the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio using internal risk ratings. These risk ratings are consistent with established regulatory guidance. Loans with a Pass rating represent those not considered a problem credit. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s careful attention. Substandard loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put the complete receipt of contractual cash flows at risk. Substandard loans are placed in nonaccrual status when Susquehanna believes it is no longer probable it will collect all contractual cash flows.

Susquehanna reviews the loan gradings on an annual basis or at any time management becomes aware of the potential for not collecting all contractual cash flows. Significant credits with ratings of special mention or substandard, and associated with a relationship greater than $1.0 million, are reviewed quarterly by the Loan Review committee.

Susquehanna monitors the credit quality of its retail loan portfolio based primarily on delinquency status, which is the primary factor considered in determining whether a retail loan should be classified as nonaccrual.

NOTE 5. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

In establishing the allowance for credit losses, Susquehanna estimates losses attributable to specific impaired credits identified through the credit review processes and also estimates losses inherent in other loans and leases on a collective basis. For purposes of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, Susquehanna evaluates its loan and lease portfolio by loan type. The losses provisioned for in Susquehanna’s allowance for loan loss is determined through a loan by loan analysis of larger balance commercial and commercial real estate loans that show signs of credit deterioration and by applying loss factors to groups of loan balances based on loan type and management’s classification of such loans under the Susquehanna’s loan grading system, adjusted for qualitative considerations.  In determining the allowance for credit losses, Susquehanna utilizes an internal loan grading system for its commercial portfolio.  The internal loan grading’s are monitored by Susquehanna’s loan review department.  Additionally, loans that are part of a relationship of over $1.0 million and have a rating of substandard, special mention, and pass that are on the company’s watch list, are reviewed on a quarterly basis at Susquehanna’s Loan Quality Review Committee.  Factors considered at the Loan Quality Review meetings include the financial statements of the borrower, the borrower’s global cash flow, guarantees, and underlying collateral valuations.

NOTE 6. Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to Susquehanna’s reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units, it generally no longer retains its identification with a particular acquisition, but instead becomes identified with the reporting unit as a whole. As a result, all of the fair value of each reporting unit is available to support the value of goodwill allocated to the unit. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment.

The goodwill impairment analysis is done in two steps. The first step requires a comparison of the fair value of the individual reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and a second step of testing is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any, for the reporting unit.

Susquehanna assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. This assessment requires significant judgment and analysis.

Susquehanna performed its annual goodwill impairment assessments in the second quarter of 2012 and determined that the fair value of each of its reporting units exceeded its book value, and that there was no goodwill impairment.

Bank Reporting Unit

Goodwill assigned to the bank reporting unit at March 31, 2013 was $1,165,200 and at the annual assessment date of May 31, 2012 was $1,158,248. Fair value of the bank reporting unit was determined using a market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information reported for market transactions involving recent non-distressed sales of comparable financial institutions in Susquehanna’s market to value the bank reporting unit. Susquehanna considered two key ratios in measuring the fair value of the bank reporting unit: price to book and price to tangible book. The following table shows the ratios used at May 31, 2012.

	Annual
Ratio	May 31, 2012
Price to book	1.29x
Price to tangible book	1.47x

Fair value of the bank reporting unit exceeded carrying value by 5.9% at May 31, 2012. Since the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and the second step in the analysis is unnecessary.

Wealth Management Reporting Unit

Goodwill assigned to the wealth management reporting unit at March 31, 2013 and at the annual assessment date of May 31, 2012 was $82,746. Fair value of the wealth management reporting unit was determined utilizing the market approach and the income approach. The market approach measures the fair value of the reporting unit using transaction multiples reported for market transactions involving comparable wealth management business. The income approach measures the fair value of the reporting unit by converting the reporting unit’s future earnings over ten years, assuming a weighted increase in the reporting unit’s revenues and a weighted increase in the reporting unit’s expenses, to a single present (discounted) amount, based on a discount rate. In keeping with a market participant’s current valuations of wealth management institutions, Susquehanna predominantly uses the income approach. The following table shows the factors used in the income approach at May 31, 2012.

	Annual
Factors	May 31, 2012
Discount rate	17.5%
Weighted-average increase in revenues	6.0%
Weighted-average increase in expenses	5.0%

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

Fair value of the wealth management reporting unit exceeded carrying value by 63.4% at May 31, 2012. Since the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and the second step in the analysis is unnecessary.

Property and Casualty Insurance Reporting Unit

Goodwill assigned to the property and casualty insurance reporting unit at March 31, 2013 and at the annual assessment date of May 31, 2012 was $17,177. Fair value of the property and casualty insurance reporting unit was determined using the market approach, which measures the fair value of the reporting unit using recent sales of comparable property and casualty insurance companies in Susquehanna’s market. Susquehanna uses two key ratios to measure the fair value of the property and casualty insurance reporting unit: average price to book and median price to earnings. The following table shows the ratios used at May 31, 2012.

	Annual
Ratio	May 31, 2012
Average price to book	1.17X
Median price to earnings	12.1X

Fair value of the property and casualty insurance reporting unit exceeded carrying value by 205.6% at May 31, 2012. Since the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and the second step in the analysis is not required.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 31.7% and 31.5%, respectively.  The increase in the tax rate was due to a decrease in tax-advantaged income relative to total income for the first three months of 2013, as compared to the tax-advantaged income relative to total income for the first three months of 2012.  The estimated annual effective rates for the reporting periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were impacted by the level of permanent differences, including tax-advantaged income, resulting in an effective rate below statutory rates for the interim reporting periods.

NOTE 12. Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

In 2005 and 2006, Susquehanna entered into term securitization transactions in which it sold portfolios of home equity loans to securitization trusts. Both of the securitization trusts are VIEs, and Susquehanna is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The VIEs were consolidated. Susquehanna entered into these securitization transactions primarily to achieve low-cost funding for the growth of its loan and lease portfolios and to manage capital. The investors and the VIEs have no recourse to Susquehanna for failure of debtors to pay when due.

2006 Transaction

In September 2006, Susquehanna securitized $349,403 of fixed-rate home mortgage loans and variable-rate line of credit loans. Susquehanna retained the right to service the loans.

Approximately 70.5% of the variable-rate loans that were securitized included a feature that permits the borrower to convert all or a portion of the loan from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. If the total principal balance of the converted loans is greater than 10% of the total outstanding balance of the portfolio, Susquehanna is required to transfer the excess converted loans from the portfolio. Based upon Susquehanna’s experience with this product, Susquehanna has concluded that the event requiring the transfer of converted loans of the VIE would be remote.

2005 Transaction

In December 2005, Susquehanna securitized $239,766 of home equity line of credit loans. Susquehanna retained the right to service the loans.

Approximately 35.4% of the loans that were securitized included a feature that permits the borrower to convert all or a portion of the loan from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate. If the total principal balance of the converted loans is greater than 10% of the total outstanding balance of the portfolio, Susquehanna is required to transfer the excess converted loans from the portfolio. Based upon Susquehanna’s experience with this product, Susquehanna has concluded that the event requiring the transfer of converted loans of the VIE would be remote.

NOTE 13. Derivative Financial Instruments

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

Susquehanna is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Susquehanna manages economic risk exposures, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Susquehanna enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are impacted by changes in interest rates. Susquehanna’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of its known or expected cash payments principally those related to certain variable-rate liabilities. Susquehanna also has derivatives that are a result of a service it provides to certain qualifying customers. Susquehanna manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments offered as a part of this service to its customers in order to minimize its interest rate risk resulting from such transactions. All derivatives are recorded at fair value.

Derivatives may expose Susquehanna to market, credit or liquidity risks in excess of the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Market risk of a derivative is the exposure created by potential fluctuations in interest rates and other factors and is a function of the type of derivative, the tenor and terms of the agreement, and the underlying volatility. Credit risk is the exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the transaction where the value of any collateral held is not adequate to cover such losses. Liquidity risk is the potential exposure that arises when the size of the derivative position may not be able to be rapidly adjusted in periods of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable cost.

All freestanding derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Susquehanna uses interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest income and expense. Susquehanna primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. For example, Susquehanna may issue variable-rate debt and then enter into a receive-variable pay-fixed-rate interest rate swap with the same payment timing and notional amount to convert the interest payments to a net fixed-rate basis for all or a portion of the term of the long-term debt. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, Susquehanna had 14 interest rate swaps, respectively for each period, with an aggregate notional amount of $1,152,298 and $1,160,778, respectively, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest-rate risk.

Susquehanna applies hedge accounting to certain interest rate derivatives entered into for risk management purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. In addition, key aspects of achieving hedge accounting are documentation of hedging strategy and hedge effectiveness at the hedge inception and substantiating hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting either changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship is recognized in current earnings. The assessment of effectiveness excludes changes in the value of the hedged item that are unrelated to the risks being hedged. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated in a hedge relationship and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Susquehanna’s variable-rate liabilities. During the 12 months following March 31, 2013, Susquehanna estimates that $19,784 will be reclassified as an expense to net interest income.

Non-designated Derivatives

Derivatives not designated as hedges are used to manage Susquehanna’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict requirements of hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recognized directly in earnings.

Susquehanna does not seek to apply hedge accounting to all of the derivatives involved in Susquehanna’s risk management activities, such as the interest rate derivatives entered into to offset the derivatives offered to qualifying borrowers.Susquehanna offers qualifying commercial banking customers derivatives to enable such customers to transfer, modify or reduce their interest rate risks. The credit risk associated with derivatives entered into with these customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans and is subject to our normal credit policies. Susquehanna actively manages the market risks from its exposure to these derivatives by

entering into offsetting derivative transactions, controls focused on pricing, and reporting of positions to senior managers to minimize its exposure resulting from such transactions.

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, Susquehanna had 231 and 95 derivative transactions, respectively, related to this program with an aggregate notional amount of $1,392,430 and $682,447, respectively. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, Susquehanna recognized a net loss of $233 and $128, respectively, related to changes in fair value of the derivatives in this program.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Susquehanna has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain the following provisions:

•      if Susquehanna defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then Susquehanna could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations;

•      if Susquehanna fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions, and Susquehanna would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements;

•      if Susquehanna fails to maintain a specified minimum leverage ratio, then Susquehanna could be declared in default on its derivative obligations;

•      if Susquehanna’s credit rating is reduced below investment grade, then a termination event will be deemed to have occurred and Susquehanna’s counterparty would have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate all transactions under the agreement.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes any credit valuation adjustments related to these agreements, was $67,111 and $72,126, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Susquehanna had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and had posted cash collateral of $67,920 and $75,103, respectively. If Susquehanna had breached any of the above provisions at March 31, 2013, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

NOTE 14. Fair Value Disclosures

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. This guidance applies whenever other accounting guidance requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

Susquehanna uses fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities and periodic subsequent measurement of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority, Level 1, to measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The next highest priority, Level 2, is given to measurements based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The lowest priority, Level 3, is given to measurements based on unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The accounting guidance requires the measurement of fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect Susquehanna’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Valuation Processes and Controls over Fair Value Measurement

As part of Susquehanna’s overall valuation process, management employs processes to evaluate and validate the methodologies, techniques and inputs, including review and approval of valuation judgments, methods, models, process controls, and results. These processes are designed to help ensure that the fair value measurements and disclosures are appropriate, consistently applied, and reliable.

Valuation Methodologies and Inputs

The following is a description of Susquehanna’s valuation methodologies and more significant inputs for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. These methods may produce a fair value measurement that may not be indicative of future fair values. Furthermore, while Susquehanna believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Susquehanna uses a third-party pricing service and third-party financial advisory firms in determining the fair value of its securities. Certain fair value measurements are derived from market-based pricing matrices that were developed using observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. For certain other fair value measurements, when market observable data is not available due to the lack of an active market for a given security, the valuation of the security involves assistance of a third-party financial advisory firm and substantial judgment by management.

Specific valuation methodologies and inputs used in determining the fair value of each significant class of assets and liabilities follows:

Cash and due from banks and short-term investments

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities

U.S. Government agencies: These are debt securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities (“GSE”). These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. The investor base is broad, resulting in moderate trading

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

volumes and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These valuations are sensitive to interest rates. As interest rates increase (decrease), the fair value of the securities will generally decrease (increase).

Obligations of states and political subdivisions: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including the structure of the bond, including call terms, cross-collateralization features, and tax-exempt features, together with MSRB reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices and benchmark yield curves. The investor base for most issues of municipal securities is fairly broad, resulting in moderate trading volumes and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These valuations are sensitive to trends in the broader municipal securities market, which includes credit risk. As market concerns associated with credit risk increase (decrease), the fair value of the securities will generally decrease (increase).

Agency residential mortgage-backed securities: These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs, including benchmark TBA security pricing and yield curves that were estimated based on U.S. Treasury yields and certain floating rate indices. The pricing matrices for these securities may also give consideration to pool-specific data supplied directly by the GSE. GSE collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including offers, bids, reported trades, dealer quotes and market research reports, the characteristics of a specific tranche, market convention prepayment speeds and benchmark yield curves as described above. Because agency residential mortgage-backed securities are generally liquid and are valued using observable pricing in the market, they generally are classified as Level 2. As interest rates increase (decrease), the fair value of the securities will generally decrease (increase).

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities: Refer to the description in “Note 3-Investment Securities”. 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities: Commercial mortgage-backed securities are valued primarily based on the median prices from multiple pricing services. Some of the important valuation assumptions used by the pricing services include the collateral type, collateral performance, capital structure, issuer, credit enhancement, coupon, weighted average life, and interest rates, coupled with the observed spread levels on trades of similar securities. Many of these securities have significant prepayment lockout periods or penalty periods that limit the window of potential prepayment to a relatively narrow band. These securities are primarily classified as Level 2.

These valuations are sensitive to market changes, specifically changes in interest rates and credit spreads. As interest rates increase (decrease) and/or credit spreads widens (tightens), fair values will typically decrease (increase).

Other structured financial products: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Susquehanna’s other structured financial products are conditional repayment rate, loss severity, and conditional default rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and directionally opposite change in the assumption used for repayment rate. In addition, refer to the description in “Note 3-Investment Securities”

Other debt securities: These securities consist primarily of government and corporate bonds. These securities are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs that include benchmark yields, benchmark securities, reported trades, offers, bids, issuer spreads and broker quotes. The investor base is broad, resulting in moderate trading volumes and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These valuations are sensitive to interest rates. As interest rates increase (decrease), the fair value of the securities will generally decrease (increase).

Other equity securities; These securities include liquid, exchange-traded equity securities as well as thinly-traded bank stocks and trust preferred securities. The exchange-traded equities are classified in Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices. The thinly traded and trust preferred securities are classified in Level 2 or 3 based on the significance of market observable inputs to the overall measurement.

Restricted investments in bank stocks

Restricted investments in bank stocks consists of FRB stock, FHLB stock, and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock. Federal law requires a member institution of the FRB and FHLB to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. Atlantic Central Bankers Bank requires its correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership.  The carrying amount approximates fair value.

(Amounts in thousands, except as noted and per share)

Loans and leases

The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, applying interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality, which are indicative of orderly transactions in the current market. For commercial loans and leases, internal risk grades are used to adjust discount rates for risk migration and expected losses. For residential mortgage and other consumer loans, internal prepayment risk models are used to adjust contractual cash flows. Loans are aggregated into pools of similar terms and credit quality and discounted using benchmark-based rates. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value.

Deposits

The fair values of demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits are the amounts payable on demand at the balance sheet date; recognition of the inherent funding value of these instruments is not permitted. The carrying value of variable-rate time deposits approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate time deposits is based upon the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid at maturity, using the U.S. Treasury yield curve.   The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

Short-term borrowings

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

FHLB borrowings and long-term debt

Fair values were based upon quoted rates of similar instruments issued by banking institutions with similar credit ratings. The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair values.

Derivatives

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using models that use readily observable market inputs and a market standard methodology applied to the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate indices.

The methodology nets the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. Susquehanna incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, Susquehanna has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and thresholds, mutual settlements, and guarantees.

Although Susquehanna has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives may use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, Susquehanna has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, Susquehanna has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of commitments to originate mortgage loans to be held for sale and their corresponding forward-sales agreements are estimated using the fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The valuation of fixed-rate loan commitments also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. These respective fair value measurements would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

For additional information regarding derivatives, refer to “Note 13 – Derivative Financial Instruments” above.

Off-balance-sheet items

The fair values of unused commitments to lend and standby letters of credit are considered to be the same as their contractual amounts.

Susquehanna’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of Levels 1, 2, and 3 as of the end of a reporting period.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Impaired loans

Impaired collateral dependent loans and other loans where the carrying value is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less selling costs, such as residential mortgage loans charged off in accordance with regulatory guidance, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the underlying collateral is incorporated into the estimate of the impairment of a loan. Most of Susquehanna’s impaired collateral dependent loans are secured by real estate. The value of the real estate collateral is determined through appraisals performed by third-party, licensed appraisers. As part of Susquehanna’s overall valuation process, management evaluates these third-party appraisals to ensure that they are representative of the exit prices in Susquehanna’s principal markets. Susquehanna considers the appraisals used in its impairment analysis to be Level 3 inputs. When the value of the real estate, less estimated selling costs, is less than the principal balance of the loan, a specific reserve is established. Impaired loans are reviewed at least quarterly for additional impairment, and reserves are adjusted accordingly.

Foreclosed Assets

Other real estate property acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value of the related real estate collateral at the transfer date, less estimated selling costs. The value of the real estate collateral is determined through appraisals performed by third party licensed appraisers. As part of Susquehanna’s overall valuation process, management evaluates these third-party appraisals to ensure that they are representative of the exit prices in Susquehanna’s principal markets. Susquehanna considers the appraisals used in its impairment analysis to be Level 3 inputs.

Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and directionally opposite change in the assumption used for repayment rate.

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

Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the consolidated results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries is set forth below for the periods indicated.  Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Susquehanna”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

                Certain statements in this report may be considered to be "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements that include the words "expect," "estimate," "project," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "probability," "risk," "target," "objective" and similar expressions or variations on such expressions. In particular, this document includes forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to, general economic conditions; the impact of new regulations on our business; our potential exposures to various types of market risks, such as interest rate risk and credit risk; expectations regarding future acquisitions; whether our allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate to meet probable loan and lease losses; the expected values of assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the Tower merger; the improvement in the credit quality of our loan portfolio; our ability to maintain market share and monitor and manage our portfolios; our ability to evaluate loan guarantors; our ability to offset loan prepayment penalties through decreased interest expense on FHLB borrowings; our ability to achieve loan growth; our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity; our ability to manage credit quality; and our ability to achieve our 2013 financial goals. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. For example, certain of the market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about essential model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market-risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual income gains and losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the forward-looking statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to:

                •      adverse changes in our loan and lease portfolios and the resulting credit-risk-related losses and expenses;

                •      adverse changes in regional real estate values;

                •      interest rate fluctuations which could increase our cost of funds or decrease our yield on earning assets and therefore reduce our net interest income;

                •      decreases in our loan and lease quality and origination volume;

                •      the adequacy of loss reserves;

                •      impairment of goodwill or other assets;

                •      the loss of certain key officers, which could adversely impact our business;

                •      continued relationships with major customers;

•      the ability to continue to grow our business internally and through acquisition and successful integration of bank and non-bank entities while controlling our costs;

                •      adverse international, national and regional economic and business conditions;

                •      compliance with laws and regulatory requirements of federal and state agencies;

                •      competition from other financial institutions in originating loans, attracting deposits, and providing various financial services that may affect our profitability;

                •      the ability to hedge certain risks effectively and economically;

                •      our ability to effectively implement technology driven products and services;

                •      changes in consumer confidence, spending and savings habits relative to the bank and non-bank financial services we provide;

49

                •      changes in legal or regulatory requirements or the results of regulatory examinations that could adversely impact our business and financial condition and restrict growth;

                •      the impact of federal laws and related rules and regulations on our business operations and competitiveness;

                •      the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and laws, including interest rate

                      policies of the Federal Reserve Board;

•      the effects of and changes in the rate of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) premiums;

       and

                •      our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

                We encourage readers of this report to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute targets of future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by law.

                The following discussion and analysis, the purpose of which is to provide investors and others with information that we believe to be necessary for an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes, and other information contained in this document.

               The following information refers to Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Boston Service Company, Inc. (t/a Hann Financial Service Corporation) (“Hann”), Susquehanna Bank and subsidiaries, Valley Forge Asset Management Corp. (“VFAM”), Stratton Management Company and subsidiary (“Stratton”), and The Addis Group, LLC (“Addis”).

Executive Overview

                Susquehanna’s management monitors the local, national, and global economies and their effects on our customers and our financial performance.  We also evaluate new regulatory changes that have been, or will be, implemented, including those as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) for their potential impact on our business.

                We feel we are well positioned to handle negative effects of changes in the economy or regulatory oversight given our strong liquidity, and capital ratios (see “Financial Conditions – Capital Adequacy”) which are well in excess of regulatory minimums to be considered “well capitalized”.

With these factors in mind, our 2013 financial goals are as follows:

Acquisitions

On February 17, 2012, we completed the acquisition of Tower Bancorp, Inc. (“Tower”), a Pennsylvania chartered bank holding company based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with approximately $2.5 billion of assets, through a merger of Tower with and into Susquehanna.  In connection with the Tower merger, Tower’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Graystone Tower Bank, was merged into Susquehanna’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary Susquehanna Bank, with Susquehanna Bank being the surviving institution.  The acquisition of Tower enhances Susquehanna’s footprint in Pennsylvania and Maryland.  The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method.

Results of Operations

Summary of First Quarter 2013 Compared to First Quarter 2012

Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $42.4 million, an increase of $18.9 million when compared to net income of $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net interest income increased 11.2%, to $149.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $134.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. The provision for loan and lease losses decreased 36.8% to $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $19.0 million for the first quarter of 2012.  Noninterest income increased 7.9%, to $42.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $39.5 million for the first quarter of 2012.  Noninterest expenses decreased 2.2%, to $117.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, from $120.4 million for the first quarter of 2012.  Excluding merger-related expenses, non-interest expense increased $8.8 million, or 8.1%, for the first quarter of 2013, over the same period in 2012.

Return on average tangible equity is a non-GAAP-based financial measure calculated using non-GAAP amounts.  The most directly related comparable measure is return on average shareholders’ equity, which is calculated using GAAP-based amounts.  We calculate return on average tangible shareholders’ equity by excluding the balance of intangible assets and their related amortization expense from our calculation of return on average shareholders’ equity.  Management uses the return on average tangible shareholders’ equity in order to evaluate its business performance relative to the tangible capital supporting the ongoing business.  Management believes that this is a better measure of our performance.  In addition, this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.  A reconciliation of return on average shareholders’ equity to return on average tangible shareholders’ equity is set forth as part of Table 3 below.

Net Interest Income-Taxable Equivalent Basis

                Our major source of operating revenues is net interest income, which increased 11.2% to $149.2 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to $134.1 million for the same period in 2012. Net interest income as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income was 77.8% and 77.2%, respectively, for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

                Net interest income is the income that remains after deducting, from total income generated by earning assets, the interest expense attributable to the cost of the funds required to support earning assets. Income from earning assets includes income from loans, investment securities, and short-term investments. The amount of interest income is dependent upon many factors, including the volume of earning assets, the general level of interest rates, the dynamics of the change in interest rates, the levels of non-performing loans, and accretion of fair value adjustments on purchased loans. The cost of funds varies with the amount of funds necessary to support earning assets, the rates paid to attract and hold deposits, the rates paid on borrowed funds, amortization of core deposit intangibles, accretion of fair value adjustments on acquired deposits, and the levels of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and equity capital.

Table 4 presents average balances, taxable equivalent interest income and expense, and yields earned or paid on these assets and liabilities. For purposes of calculating taxable equivalent interest income, tax-exempt interest has been adjusted using a marginal tax rate of 35% in order to equate the yield to that of taxable interest rates.

55

The increase of $15.2 million in our taxable equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012, was primarily the result of an $1.6 billion increase in first quarter average interest-earning assets, due mainly to the Tower acquisition, versus the prior year having a greater impact than the $1.2 billion increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, due mainly to the Tower acquisition, and a 3 basis point increase in the net interest margin, which was the result of the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declining 27 basis points, while the yield earned on average interest-earning assets declined by only 20 basis points.  The greater decrease on interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from restructuring $287.1 million of long-term debt in the latter half of 2012.

                Variances do occur in the net interest margin, as an exact repricing of assets and liabilities is not possible.  A further explanation of the impact of asset and liability repricing is found in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses is the expense necessary to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level appropriate to absorb management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Our provision for loan and lease losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan and lease portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans and leases, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan and lease growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets we serve.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2013 increased to $19.6 million, or 0.62% of average loans and leases, when compared to net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2012 of $12.4 million, or 0.44% of average loans and leases. Nonaccrual loans declined significantly during this period, from $133.5 million at March 31, 2012 to $103.4 million at March 31, 2013. As a result, we decreased the provision for loan and lease losses from $19.0 million for the first three months of 2012 to $12.0 million for the first three months of 2013. In addition, on a linked-quarter basis, net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2013 were $19.6 million, and net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2012, were $15.9 million.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.36% of period-end loans and leases, or $176.4 million, at March 31, 2013; 1.43% of period-end loans and leases, or $184.0 million, at December 31, 2012; and 1.56% of period-end loans and leases, or $194.7 million, at March 31, 2012. The allowance for loan and lease losses for Originated loans was 1.59% of period-end loans and leases, or $175.0 million, at March 31, 2013; 1.70% of period-end loans and leases, or $182.9 million, at December 31, 2012; and 1.98% of period-end loans and leases, or $194.7 million, at March 31, 2012.

Determining the level of the allowance for probable loan and lease losses at any given point in time is difficult, particularly during uncertain economic periods. We must make estimates using assumptions and information that is often subjective and changing rapidly. The review of the loan and lease portfolios is a continuing process in light of a changing economy and the dynamics of the banking and regulatory environment. In our opinion, the allowance for loan and lease losses is appropriate to meet probable incurred loan and lease losses at March 31, 2013. There can be no assurance, however, that we will not sustain loan and lease losses in future periods that could be greater than the size of the allowance at March 31, 2013.

Noninterest Income

     First Quarter 2013 Compared to First Quarter 2012

                Noninterest income, as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income, was 22.2% for the first quarter of 2013 and 22.8% for the first quarter of 2012.

                The following table presents a breakdown of Susquehanna’s noninterest income.

Noninterest income increased $3.1 million, or 7.9%, for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to the first quarter of 2012. This net increase was primarily the result of the following:

·Increased service charges on deposit accounts of $1.0 million;

·Increase vehicle origination and servicing fees of $1.4 million;

·Increased wealth management commissions and fees of $0.8 million;

Service charges on deposit accounts. The 13.0% increase is primarily the result of recognizing a full quarter, in 2013, of service charges on accounts acquired in the Tower transaction, compared to a one-half quarter in 2012.

Vehicle origination and servicing fees.  The 74.3% increase is the result of lease production at our Hann subsidiary increasing $94.3 million due to expanded territories.

Wealth management commissions and fees. The 6.8% increase primarily is the result of increased fees related to the acquisition of Tower trust accounts.

	Total noninterest expenses	$	117,729	$	120,355	(2.2)

                Noninterest expenses, excluding merger-related costs, increased $8.8 million, or 8.1%, from $108.9 million for the first quarter of 2012, to $117.7 million for the first quarter of 2013. This net increase was primarily the result of:

·Increased salaries and employee benefits of $5.1 million;

·Increased other noninterest expense of $3.7 million.

Salaries and employee benefits.  The 8.8% increase is the result of recognizing a full quarter, in 2013, of salary and benefit expense on employees acquired in the Tower transaction, compared to a one-half quarter in 2012, increased incentive bonus, and annual merit increases.

Other non-interest expenses.  The 21.5% increase is primarily the result of increased expenses relating to computer software maintenance and amortization, employee welfare, operating risk loss, and Pennsylvania shares tax, due to the Tower acquisition in February 2012.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the reporting period ended March 31, 2013 was 31.7%.  Our effective tax rate for the reporting period ended March 31, 2012 was 31.5%.  The increase in tax rate was due to a decrease in tax-advantaged income relative to total income for the first three months of 2013, as compared to the tax-advantaged income relative to total income for the first three months of 2012.  The estimated annual effective rates for the reporting periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 were impacted by the level of permanent differences, including tax-advantaged income, resulting in an effective rate below statutory rates for the interim reporting periods.

Financial Condition

Summary of March 31, 2013 Compared to December 31, 2012

Total assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $18.0 billion. Total loans at March 31, 2013 were $13.0 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion from December 31, 2012. Total deposits at March 31, 2013 were $12.7 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion from December 31, 2012.  Total equity capital was $2.6 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, or $14.13 per share and $13.92 per share, respectively.  

Fair Value Measurements and the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

                At March 31, 2013, we had made no elections to use fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets and financial liabilities not previously carried at fair value. For additional information about our financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value, refer to “Note 11. Fair Value Disclosures” to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.  

Securities Available for Sale

                Securities available for sale decreased 6.9%, or $177.3 million from December 31, 2012 resulting from a strategic decision not to purchase securities in the first quarter of 2013 due to the low interest rate environment and reasonable loan demand.  For additional information about our investment securities portfolio, refer to “Note 3. Investment Securities” and “Note 13. Fair Value Disclosures” to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.

Loans and Leases

                Total loans and leases increased 0.8%, or $105.0 million, from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.  For additional information about our loan portfolio, refer to “Note 4. Loans and Leases”to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.

One of the more significant fair value adjustments in our purchase accounting for the Tower transaction was to loans.  As of February 17, 2012, certain of the loans acquired from Tower had evidence of credit deterioration since origination, and it was probable that we would not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.  The accounting guidance requires that acquired credit-impaired loans be recorded at fair value and prohibits carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.

The acquired credit-impaired loans were initially recognized at fair value, which incorporates the present value of amounts estimated to be collectible.  Accordingly, such acquired credit-impaired loans are not classified as nonaccrual, even though they may be contractually past due, because we expect to fully collect the fair values of such loans (that is, the new cost basis arising out of our purchase accounting).  Acquired credit-impaired loans are also not included in the disclosure of loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest even though certain of them are 90 days or more contractually past due.

                As a result of the application of the accounting guidance to Tower’s loan portfolios, certain credit-related ratios of the Company, including, for example, the growth rate in non-performing assets since December 31, 2012, may not necessarily be directly comparable with periods prior to the merger or with credit-related ratios of other financial institutions. 

Nonperforming assets increased from $124.0 million at December 31, 2012, to $125.9 million at March 31, 2013. Consequently, total nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans and leases plus foreclosed real estate increased from 0.96% at December 31, 2012 to 0.97% at March 31, 2013, and troubled debt restructurings decreased $2.0 million, from $67.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $65.8 million at March 31, 2013.

                Of the $278.1 million of impaired loans (nonaccrual, non-consumer loan relationships greater than $0.75 million plus accruing restructured loans),  $196.8 million, or 70.8%, had no related reserve(refer to “Note 4. Loans and Leases – Impaired Loans” to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.) The determination that no related reserve for collateral-dependent loans was required was based on the net realizable value of the underlying collateral.

61

At March 31, 2013, real estate – construction loans comprised only 6.0% of our total loan and lease portfolio, but accounted for 18.3% of nonaccrual loans and leases and 14.5% of our allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, for the three-month periods  ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, this loan type accounted for 21.9%, and 22.9%, respectively, of total net charge-offs.  As a result, we consider real estate - construction loans to be higher-risk loans. Additional information about our real estate – construction loan portfolio is presented in Tables 10, 11, and 12. Categories within these tables are defined as follows:

·Construction loans – loans used to fund vertical construction for residential and non-residential structures;

·Land development loans – loans secured by land for which the approvals for site improvements have been obtained, the site improvements are in progress, or the site improvements have been completed; and

·Raw land – loans secured by land for which there are neither approvals nor site improvements.

(1)	Global debt coverage ratio is calculated by analyzing the combined cash flows of the borrower, its related entities, and the guarantors (if any).  The final global cash flow is divided by the global debt service for the same entities to determine the coverage ratio.

We conduct quarterly portfolio reviews of real estate – construction loan relationships in excess of $0.75 million in order to identify potential problem loans. For those loan relationships under $0.75 million, the evaluation of risk is based upon delinquency. The review of loans in excess of $0.75 million consists of:

·Determining whether the project’s economics are achievable within a time frame such that the available cash flow of this and all of the projects of the borrower/guarantor (whether financed or not financed by Susquehanna) is sufficient to pay the required payments of interest plus principal during a rolling fifteen- month projection.

·Determining, based on a review of external sources, the viability/absorption of the projects and whether they align with the borrower/guarantor’s expectations.

·Reviewing quarterly to assess whether the expectations of the borrower/guarantor and the externally supplied information on the market are aligned to determine if the previous assumptions are still valid or need to be adjusted to meet the expectations that Susquehanna be fully repaid.

During this process, we also review the liquidity of any guarantors (the secondary source for continuance of the project) to determine if their liquidity will support any extension of the project due to slower than expected absorption (units leased or sold).  If the result of any of the determinations set forth above is negative, we consider the loan to be impaired, and it is included in our evaluation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. If a loan is determined to be impaired, the net realizable value of the loan is calculated by using a current (less than one year old) appraisal, and the short fall is charged off. All partially charged-off loans become part of the calculation for the allowance for loan and lease losses.

Although our impairment and charge-off analyses take into consideration the guarantor’s demonstrated ability and willingness to service the debt, we do not carry any impaired loans at values in excess of the current appraisal due to the loan having a guarantor. Our evaluation of guarantors includes examining their financial wherewithal and their reputation and willingness to work with their

64

lenders. Since the beginning of the global economic slowdown in 2007, we have consistently assessed the probability for completion of a project by determining the guarantor’s liquidity and the cash flow generated by the project based upon current absorption. 

Charge-offs are taken in the quarter that we determine that the loan is impaired and there is a probable incurred loss. We exercise our rights under the full extent of the law to pursue all assets of the borrower and guarantors.

Guarantors are required to provide us with copies of annual financial statements and tax returns, including all schedules. These financial statements and tax returns are analyzed using variables such as total debt obligation including contingent liabilities (an analysis of those contingent liabilities, the ability to service third-party debt, and whether the cash that is left will support our loan), and a review of financial statements to determine living expenses. These results are part of a fifteen-month rolling projection of the borrower’s and the guarantor’s cash flow.  With respect to a potential problem loan, the rolling fifteen-month cash flow projection requires verification of all cash or liquid investments each quarter.  In addition, we require that these statements are generally current to within one year.

We believe that we are well-equipped to evaluate the guarantors of loans. More than half of our commercial real estate borrowers have been our customers for over ten years and in the market for at least fifteen years. Most of our employee lenders have been lenders within their specific markets for fifteen or more years, and those whose experience is less than that time period are supervised by people who have the experience. Therefore, we have a strong historical perspective as to how borrowers performed in the last major recession of 1988 to 1993. For those borrowers/guarantors that do not have the history dating back to the last major recession, third-party credit checks are used to determine their history and, when appropriate, how they have performed when real estate projects have not gone as expected.

                We continue to aggressively review our portfolio, contact customers to evaluate their financial situation and where necessary, to work with them to find proactive solutions to help limit the number of loans that become delinquent or go into default. We believe that the remainder of 2013 will be challenging, with the volatility of key commodity prices continuing to impact the commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and consumer credit segments. However, we also believe that we have the proper monitoring systems in place to recognize issues in an appropriate time frame and to minimize the effect on our earnings.

Goodwill

The Tower transaction created $257.4 million of additional goodwill.  For additional information about goodwill, refer to “Note 2. Acquisitions” and “Note 6. Goodwill”to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.

Deposits

Total deposits increased 0.9%, or $111.4 million, from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. Within this category, core deposits such as demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings increased 1.1%.

                Time deposits less than $0.1 million decreased 2.5%, or $57.0 million, from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. This decrease, in part, reflects the results of our continuing plan to improve our mix of deposits by allowing high-cost, single-service certificates of deposit to run off.  However, we also want to maintain market share at appropriate levels, and we will monitor and manage this portfolio to avoid excessive runoff.  Time deposits greater than $0.1 million increased 4.9%, or $72.2 million, from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.  For additional information about deposits, refer to “Note 7. Deposits” to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item I, of this report.

Shareholders’ Equity

                On February 17, 2012, Susquehanna completed its acquisition of Tower, issuing 30.8 million shares of Susquehanna common stock, par value $2.00, in connection with the transaction.  The Tower acquisition increased total shareholders’ equity by $302.1 million.

Capital Adequacy

                Capital elements are segmented into two tiers. Tier 1 capital represents shareholders’ equity plus junior subordinated debentures, reduced by excludable intangibles. Tier 2 capital represents certain allowable long-term debt, the portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the allowance for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures equal to 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets, and 45% of the unrealized gain on equity securities. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is “total risk-based capital.” Tier 1 common and tangible common equity include only common equity.

                In June of 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published three Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPR”) to implement aspects of Basel III, as well as to implement aspects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act and the Consumer Protection Act.  If the three NPRs become finalized substantially in their current form as expected, there will be changes to the calculation of risk weighted assets as well as limitations on what is permissible to include as Tier I Capital.  We expect the final rules to be promulgated before January 1, 2014, and we expect them to have implementation periods at various points over the next several years.  In addition to preparing for the impact of these rules, we are continuing to monitor the rulemaking process for any modifications or clarifications that may be made prior to finalization. In anticipation of the final rules we have redeemed some of our trust preferred and capital securities that would be affected by the rules, and we continue to investigate our options for redeeming others in the future.

	Our capital ratios computed under the existing regulatory guidance are as follows:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

               The types of market risk exposures generally faced by banking entities include equity market price risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk.

                Due to the nature of our operations, foreign currency risk is not significant to us. However, in addition to general banking risks, we have other risks that are related to vehicle leasing and asset securitizations.

                There has not been any material changes in the market risks to Susquehanna as reported in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Equity Market Price Risk

                Equity market price risk is the risk related to market fluctuations of equity prices in the securities markets.  While we do not have significant equity market price risk in our investment portfolio, market price fluctuations may affect fee income generated through our asset management operations. Generally, our fee structure is based on the market value of assets being managed at specific time frames. When market values decline, our fee income also declines.

Liquidity Risk

The maintenance of adequate liquidity -- the ability to meet the cash requirements of our customers and other financial commitments -- is a fundamental aspect of our asset/liability management strategy. Our policy of diversifying our funding sources -- purchased funds, repurchase agreements, and deposit accounts -- allows us to avoid undue concentration in any single financial market and also to avoid heavy funding requirements within short periods of time. At March 31, 2013, our bank subsidiary had approximately $3.6 billion available under a collateralized line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which $1.1 billion was outstanding at March 31, 2013. Furthermore, at March 31, 2013, we had unused federal funds lines of $1.0 billion.

                In addition, we have pledged certain auto leases, certain auto loans, certain commercial finance leases, and certain investment securities to obtain collateralized borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window. At March 31, 2013, we had unused collateralized availability of $1.3 billion.

                Liquidity, however, is not entirely dependent on increasing our liability balances. Liquidity is also evaluated by taking into consideration maturing or readily marketable assets. Unrestricted short-term investments totaled $38.7 million at March 31, 2013 and represented additional sources of liquidity.

67

                Management believes these sources of liquidity are sufficient to support our banking operations.

Interest Rate Risk

                 The management of interest rate risk focuses on controlling the risk to net interest income and the associated net interest margin as the result of changing market rates and spreads. Interest rate sensitivity is the matching or mismatching of the repricing and rate structure of the interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Our goal is to control risk exposure to changing rates within management’s accepted guidelines to maintain an acceptable level of risk exposure in support of consistent earnings.

We employ a variety of methods to monitor interest rate risk. These methods include basic gap analysis, which points to directional exposure, routine rate shock simulation, and evaluation of the change in economic value of equity. Board-directed guidelines have been adopted for both the rate shock simulations and economic value of equity exposure limits. By dividing the assets and liabilities into three groups, fixed rate, floating rate and those which reprice only at our discretion, strategies are developed to control the exposure to interest rate fluctuations. 

Our policy, as approved by our Board of Directors, is designed so that we experience no more than a 15% decline in net interest income and no more than a 30% decline in the economic value of equity for a 300 basis point shock (immediate change) in interest rates. The assumptions used for the interest rate shock analysis are reviewed and updated at least quarterly. Based upon the most recent interest rate shock analysis, we were within the Board’s approved guidelines at an up 300 basis point shock. At March 31, 2013, our asset/liability position was asset sensitive. 

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

                Our interest rate risk management strategy involves hedging the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities so as to mitigate adverse effects on our net interest margin and cash flows from changes in interest rates. While we do not participate in speculative derivatives trading, we consider it prudent to use certain derivative instruments to add stability to our interest income and expense, to modify the duration of specific assets and liabilities, and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

                Additionally, we execute derivative instruments in the form of interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those derivatives are immediately hedged by offsetting derivative contracts, such that we minimize our net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. We do not use credit default swaps in our investment or hedging operations.

        For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, refer to “Note 13. Derivative

Financial Instruments” and “Note 14. Fair Value Disclosures” to the financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report.

Vehicle Leasing Residual Value  Risk

              In an effort to manage the vehicle residual value risk arising from the auto leasing business of Hann and our bank subsidiary, Hann and the bank have entered into arrangements with Auto Lenders pursuant to which Hann or the bank, as applicable, effectively transferred to Auto Lenders all residual value risk of its respective auto lease portfolio, and all residual value risk on any new leases originated over the term of the applicable agreement. Auto Lenders, which was formed in 1990, is a used-vehicle remarketer with five retail locations in New Jersey and has access to various wholesale facilities throughout the country. Under these arrangements, Auto Lenders agrees to purchase the beneficial interest in all vehicles returned by the obligors at the scheduled expiration of the related leases for a purchase price equal to the stated residual value of such vehicles. Stated residual values of new leases are set in accordance with the standards approved in advance by Auto Lenders. Under a servicing agreement with Auto Lenders, Hann also agrees to make monthly guaranty payments to Auto Lenders based upon a negotiated schedule covering a five-year period.  At the end of each year, the servicing agreement may be renewed by the mutual agreement of the parties for an additional one-year term, beyond the current five-year term, subject to renegotiation of the payments for the additional year.  During the renewal process, we determine the best remarketing and/or residual guarantee alternatives for Hann and our bank subsidiary.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a)    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Susquehanna’s management, with the participation of Susquehanna’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of Susquehanna’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Susquehanna believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b)    Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

                No change in Susquehanna’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Susquehanna’s internal control over financial reporting.

69

PART II--OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings. 

                Susquehanna and its subsidiaries are engaged in lines of business that are heavily regulated and involve a large volume of financial transactions with numerous customers through offices in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia.  Although we have developed policies and procedures to minimize the impact of legal noncompliance and other disputes, litigation presents an ongoing risk.

Overdraft Litigation 

                On July 29, 2011, Susquehanna Bank was named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed by two New Jersey customers of the bank in the United States District Court of Maryland.  The suit challenges the manner in which checking account overdraft fees were charged and the policies related to the posting order of debit card and other checking account transactions.  The suit makes claims under New Jersey’s consumer fraud act and under the common law for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unconscionability, conversion and unjust enrichment. The case was transferred for pretrial proceedings to pending multi-district litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. 

                To avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation and without admitting any of the allegations in the complaint, Susquehanna in good faith participated in mediation with plaintiffs’ counsel and as a result of negotiations following from the mediation, on December 20, 2012, Susquehanna and counsel for plaintiffs entered into a Summary Agreement agreeing to settle the suit for $3,650,000, subject to preliminary and final approval of the settlement and dismissal of the action with prejudice by the Court. 

                Management, after consultation with legal counsel, currently does not anticipate that the aggregate settlement amount arising out of this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our results of operation, financial position, or cash flows.

                Other Legal Proceedings

                From time to time, Susquehanna receives subpoenas and other requests for information from various federal and state governmental and regulatory authorities in connection with certain industry-wide, company-specific or other investigations or proceedings.  Susquehanna’s policy is to be fully cooperative with such inquiries.  Susquehanna and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising out of the normal course of business, including claims against entities to which Susquehanna is a successor as a result of business combinations.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits should not have a material adverse effect on Susquehanna’s business, consolidated financial position or results of operations.  It is possible, however, that future developments could result in an unfavorable ultimate outcome for or resolution of any one or more of the lawsuits in which Susquehanna or its subsidiaries are defendants, which may be material to Susquehanna’s results of operations for a particular quarterly reporting period.  Litigation is inherently uncertain, and management cannot make assurances that Susquehanna will prevail in any of these actions, nor can management reasonably estimate the amount of damages that Susquehanna might incur.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

                There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

                None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

                Not applicable.
