Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

ESB Financial Corporation (the Company) is a publicly traded Pennsylvania thrift holding company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are ESB Bank (ESB or the Bank), THF, Inc. (THF), ESB Financial Services, Inc. (EFS) and AMSCO, Inc. (AMSCO). ESB is a Pennsylvania chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured stock savings bank.

AMSCO is engaged in real estate development and construction of 1-4 family residential units independently or in conjunction with its joint ventures. AMSCO is currently involved in nine real estate joint ventures, all of which are owned 51% or greater by AMSCO. The Bank has provided all development and construction financing. These joint ventures have been included in the consolidated financial statements and reflected within the consolidated statements of financial condition as real estate held for investment and related operating income and expenses reflected within other non-interest income or expense. The Bank’s loans to AMSCO and related interest have been eliminated in consolidation.

In addition to the elimination of the loans and interest to the joint ventures described above, all other significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010, as contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report to Stockholders.

The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current periods’ reporting format, such reclassifications did not have an effect on stockholders’ equity or net income.

The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with GAAP and with general practice within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the Statement of Financial Condition date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Operating Segments

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities that generate revenue and incur expense, the operating results of which are reviewed by management. At June 30, 2011, the Company was doing business through 24 full service banking branches, one loan production office and through its various other subsidiaries. Loans and deposits are primarily generated from the areas where banking branches are located. The Company derives its income predominantly from interest on loans and securities and to a lesser extent, non-interest income. The Company’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds and normal operating costs. The Company’s operations are principally in the banking industry. Consistent with internal reporting, the Company’s operations are reported in one operating segment, which is community banking.

Stock Based Compensation

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $96,000 and $196,000, respectively, in compensation expense and a tax benefit of $6,500 and $13,100, respectively, related to our share-based compensation awards that are expected to vest in 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $71,000 and $142,000, respectively, in compensation expense and a tax benefit of $4,800 and $9,700, respectively, related to our share-based compensation awards that are expected to vest in 2010. As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $666,300 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next four years.

As required by GAAP, cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows.

Financial Instruments

As part of its overall interest rate risk management activities, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage its exposure to various types of interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are the primary instruments the Company uses for interest rate risk management. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either part of prepaid expenses and other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

The Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy, before undertaking an accounting hedge. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivatives and related hedged items must be designated as a hedge at inception of the hedge relationship. For accounting hedge relationships, we formally assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, if the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting designated changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.

For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. To the extent the change in fair value of the derivative does not offset the change in fair value of the hedged item, the difference or ineffectiveness is reflected in earnings in the same financial statement category as the hedged item.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

At June 30, 2011 there were sixteen interest rate cap contracts outstanding with notional amounts totaling $160.0 million. These derivative instruments are not hedged and therefore adjustments to fair value are recorded in current earnings.

Table of Contents

The Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. These interest rate swap transactions involved the exchange of the Company’s interest payment on $35.0 million in junior subordinated notes which become floating rate notes in 2011 for a fixed rate interest payment without the exchange of the underlying principal amount. Entering into interest rate derivatives potentially exposes the Company to the risk of counterparties’ failure to fulfill their legal obligations including, but not limited to, potential amounts due or payable under each derivative contract. Notional principal amounts are often used to express the volume of these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller. Management utilizes the Change in Variable Cash Flows Method to measure hedge ineffectiveness. To the extent that the cumulative change in anticipated cash flows from the hedging derivative offsets from 80% to 125% of the cumulative change in anticipated cash flows from the hedged exposure, the hedged is deemed effective. As of June 30, 2011 the interest rate swaps were deemed to be effective, therefore no amounts were charged to current earnings. The Company also does not expect to reclassify any hedge related amounts from OCI to earnings over the next twelve months.

The pay fixed interest rate swap contract outstanding at June 30, 2011 is being utilized to hedge $35.0 million in floating rate junior subordinated notes. Below is a summary of the interest rate swap contract and the terms at June 30, 2011:

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update improve the comparability, clarity, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. All entities that report items of comprehensive income, in any period presented, will be affected by the changes in this update. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The main objective in developing this Update is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this Update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic. The amendments affect all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The guidance in this Update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this Update provide additional guidance or clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. The Company has presented the necessary disclosures in footnote 3 “Loans Receivable”.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has presented the necessary disclosures in footnote 9 “Fair Value”.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income.

The Company primarily invests in mortgage-backed securities, variable and fixed rate corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government bonds and to a lesser extent equity securities. The policy of the Company is to recognize other than temporary impairment (OTTI) on equity securities where the fair value has been significantly below cost for three consecutive quarters. Declines in the fair value of the debt securities that can be attributed to specific adverse conditions affecting the credit quality of the investment would be recorded as OTTI and charged to earnings. In order to determine if a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the Company reviews corporate ratings of the investment, analyst reports and SEC filings of the issuers. For fixed maturity investments with unrealized losses due to interest rates where the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, declines in value below cost are not assumed to be other than temporary. The Company reviews its position quarterly and has asserted that at June 30, 2011, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines due to changes in interest rates and are not reflections of impairment in the credit quality of the securities. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

The Company reviews investment debt securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of OTTI with formal reviews performed quarterly. Credit-related OTTI losses on individual securities are recognized in earnings while noncredit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. There were no OTTI charges during either the quarter or six month period ended June 30, 2011.

One pooled trust preferred security has previously been determined to be other than temporarily impaired due solely to credit related factors. This security is a collateralized debt obligation currently comprised of trust preferred securities of 16 financial institutions and has a Moody’s rating of Ca, which is below investment grade. The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method to determine the amount of impairment. During this analysis, the Company determined that seven of these financial institutions are currently deferring interest payments. In addition, two financial institutions have defaulted. Currently seven of the sixteen financial institutions are performing. Three of the seven financial institutions that are deferring interest payments as of June 2011 either lost money or broke even for the most recently reported quarter. Four of the seven financial institutions on deferral had a Tier 1 Risk Ratio at or less than the required well capitalized institution level under prompt corrective action provisions of 6%. Also, there were six financial institutions (including five of the seven deferrals) within this pool that the non-performing assets to loans plus real estate owned ratio was greater than 10%. However, during the fourth quarter of 2010, two financial institutions that are currently deferring interest payments were able to raise capital to further strengthen their capital positions and were able to report earnings during the most recently reported quarter. The Company has factored this into the current quarter analysis and has found no additional credit impairment as of June 30, 2011.

Because of the subprime crisis current markets for variable rate corporate trust preferred securities are illiquid. This includes the Company’s eight stand alone trust preferred securities and the Company’s one pooled trust preferred security. The Company used a discounted cash flow method to price these securities due to the lack of liquidity for resale of this investment type and the absence of reliable pricing information. This method is described more fully in footnote 9, “Fair Value”.

The following table summarizes scheduled maturities of the Company’s securities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 excluding equity securities which have no maturity dates:

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

The proceeds from the sale of securities for the period ended June 30, 2011 was $5.0 million resulting in gross realized gains of $532,000. There were no gross realized losses during the period and there were no security sales in the period ended June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company conducted its business through 24 offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence counties in Pennsylvania which also serves as its primary lending area. Management does not believe it has significant concentrations of credit risk to any one group of borrowers given its underwriting and collateral requirements.

Table of Contents

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Loans are segmented into the following pools: commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. The Company sub-segments residential real estate loans into the following three classes: single family, construction and multi-family. Commercial real estate is sub-segmented into commercial and construction classes. The Company also sub-segments the consumer loan portfolio into the following three classes: home equity, dealer automobile and recreational vehicle (RV) and other consumer loans. Historical loss percentages for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. These historical loss percentages are calculated over a three year period for all portfolio segments. Certain qualitative factors are then added to the historical loss percentages to get the adjusted factor to be applied to non classified loans. The following qualitative factors are analyzed for each portfolio segment:

 

   

Levels of and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals

 

   

Changes in lending policies and procedures

 

   

Volatility of losses within each risk category

 

   

Loans and Lending staff acquired through acquisition

 

   

Economic trends

 

   

Concentrations of credit

 

   

Trends in volume and terms

 

   

Experience depth and ability of management

These qualitative factors are reviewed each quarter and adjusted based upon relevant changes within the portfolio. During the first six months of 2011, the qualitative factors for changes in levels of and trends in delinquencies were increased for residential mortgages and commercial loans. Changes in portfolio volumes during 2011 resulted in a reduction to the related factors for all residential real estate loans.

In terms of the Company’s loan portfolio, the consumer, commercial business and commercial real estate loans are deemed to have more risk than the residential real estate loans in the portfolio. The commercial loans not secured by real estate are highly dependent on the borrowers’ financial condition and are more dependent on economic conditions. The commercial loans secured by real estate are also dependent on economic conditions but generally have stronger forms of collateral. Within the consumer loan portfolio, the dealer auto and RV loans have historically carried more risk than the other segments of the consumer portfolio.

Loans by Segment

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $6.7 million adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, at June 30, 2011. The following tables present by portfolio segment, the changes in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The table reflects two primary differences between the periods. The commercial loans evaluated for impairment were reduced as a result of a settlement in regards to a loan to a local automobile dealer. The residential loans evaluated for impairment were impacted by a loan to a local developer to construct 1-4 family residences, which became delinquent during the quarter:

Credit Quality Information

The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual loans and TDRs, were $14.9 million and $13.2 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The TDRs amounted to $7.6 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company is not committed to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans are on non-accrual status.

Impaired Loans

Management considers commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and development loans which are 90 days or more past due to be impaired. Larger commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and development loans which are 60 days or more past due are selected for impairment testing in accordance with GAAP. These loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a provision for loan loss estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses. The Company collectively reviews all residential real estate and consumer loans for impairment.

The following tables are the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans receivable as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 with the associated allowance for loan losses amount, if applicable.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are considered nonaccrual upon reaching 90 days delinquency, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income.

On the following table are the loans receivable on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The balances are presented by class of loans:

Included in the $234.1 million of FHLB advances at June 30, 2011 are $20.0 million in structured advances in which the rate is fixed for four years, and after four years on a specified date, the FHLB has the one time right (European Call) to call the advance. If the FHLB does not call these advances on the specified date, the rate remains the same for the remaining term. Should these advances be called, the Company has the right to pay off the advances without penalty. The Company also has $50.0 million in structured advances with imbedded caps at various strike rates based on the 3 month LIBOR rate. If during the term of the advance, the 3 month LIBOR rate exceeds the strike rate, the interest rate on the structured advance is reduced by the difference between the rate and the strike rate.

Included in the $363.0 million of repurchase agreements (REPOs) are $30.0 million in structured REPOs with imbedded caps at various strike rates based on the 3 month LIBOR rate. If during the term of the REPO, the 3 month LIBOR rate exceeds the strike rate, the interest rate on the structured REPO is reduced by the difference between the rate and the strike rate. In addition, the Company has $25.0 million in structured REPOs with double, or $50.0 million notional amount of imbedded caps, at a strike rate of 3.75% based on the 3 month LIBOR rate. The terms and conditions of these structured REPOs are that the rate is fixed for five years and after 5 years, on a specified date the counterparty has the one time right (European Call) to call the REPO. If the counterparty does not call the REPO on the specified date, the rate remains the same for the remaining five years. These structured REPOs also include a double imbedded cap for the first five year period with a strike rate to the 3 month LIBOR rate. If during the first five years, the 3 month LIBOR rate exceeds the strike rate, the interest rate on the structured REPO is reduced by two times the difference between the rate and the strike rate. At no point shall the interest rate on these structured REPOs with imbedded caps be less than zero.

Also included in the $363.0 million of REPOs is a $25.0 million structured REPO in which the Company pays a fixed rate of interest. At the reset date and every quarterly period thereafter, the counterparty has the right to terminate the transaction. In addition, the Company has $30.0 million in structured REPOs in which the rate is fixed for four years, and after four years on a specified date, the counterparty has the one time right (European Call) to call the REPO. If the counterparty does not call the REPO on the specified date, the rate remains the same for the remaining term. It has historically been the Company’s position to pay off any borrowings and replace them with fixed rate funding if converted by the counterparty.

The Company enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. Such REPO’s are treated as borrowed funds. The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements remains in their respective asset accounts.

REPO’s are collateralized by various securities that are either held in safekeeping at the FHLB or delivered to the dealer who arranged the transaction and the Company maintains control of these securities.

The market value of such securities exceeded the amortized cost of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The market value of the securities as of June 30, 2011 was $423.0 million with an amortized cost of $395.8 million.

The Company, through ESB, has an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland whereby ESB is an authorized treasury tax loan depository. Under the terms of the note agreement, funds deposited to the Company’s treasury tax and loan account (limited to $150,000 per deposit) accrue interest at a rate of 0.25% below the overnight federal funds rate. The treasury tax loan deposit balance was $115,000 and $191,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The junior subordinated notes have various maturities, interest rate structures and call dates. The characteristics of these notes are detailed in the following paragraphs.

On April 10, 2003, ESB Capital Trust II (Trust II), a statutory business trust established under Delaware law that is a subsidiary of the Company, issued $10.0 million variable rate preferred securities with a stated value and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Company purchased $310,000 of common securities of Trust II. The preferred securities reset quarterly to equal the LIBOR plus 3.25%. Trust II’s obligations under the preferred securities issued are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities and the common securities were utilized by the Trust II to invest in $10.3 million of variable rate subordinated debt of the Company. The subordinated debt is unsecured and ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The subordinated debt primarily represents the sole assets of the Trust II. Interest on the preferred securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right to optionally redeem the subordinated debt prior to the maturity date of April 24, 2033, on or after April 24, 2008, at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, at the redemption date. Under the occurrence of certain events, specifically, a tax event, investment company event or capital treatment event as more fully defined in the Indenture dated April 10, 2003, the Company may redeem in whole, but not in part, the subordinated debt at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of such event. Proceeds from any redemption of the subordinated debt would cause a mandatory redemption of the preferred securities and the common securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the principal amount of the subordinated debt redeemed. On July 23, 2008, the Company redeemed $5.0 million of the preferred securities of ESB Capital Trust II with proceeds from a $14.0 million loan with First Tennessee Bank National Association (“First Tennessee”). The remainder of the First Tennessee loan was used to repay an existing loan with First Tennessee with a remaining balance of $9.0 million, which had an interest rate of 5.55% and was due on December 31, 2008. No unamortized deferred debt issuance costs remain on this issuance.

On December 17, 2003, ESB Statutory Trust (Trust III), a statutory business trust established under Delaware law that is a subsidiary of the Company, issued $5.0 million variable rate preferred securities with a stated value and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Company purchased $155,000 of common securities of Trust III. The preferred securities reset quarterly to equal the LIBOR Index plus 2.95%. Trust III’s obligations under the preferred securities issued are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities and the common securities were utilized by Trust III to invest in $5.2 million of variable rate subordinated debt of the Company. The subordinated debt is unsecured and ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The subordinated debt primarily represents the sole assets of Trust III. Interest on the preferred securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right to optionally redeem the subordinated debt prior to the maturity date of December 17, 2033, on or after December 17, 2008, at the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, at the redemption date. Under the occurrence of certain events, specifically, a tax event, investment company event or capital treatment event as more fully defined in the Indenture dated December 17, 2003; the Company may redeem in whole, but not in part, the subordinated debt at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of such event. Proceeds from any redemption of the subordinated debt would cause a mandatory redemption of the preferred securities and the common securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the principal amount of the subordinated debt redeemed. No unamortized deferred debt issuance costs remain on this issuance.

On February 10, 2005, ESB Capital Trust IV (Trust IV), a statutory business trust established under Delaware law that is a subsidiary of the Company, issued $35.0 million fixed rate preferred securities. The Company purchased $1.1 million of common securities of Trust IV. The preferred securities are fixed at a rate of 6.03% for six years and then are variable at three month LIBOR plus 1.82%. The preferred securities have a stated maturity of thirty years. Trust IV’s obligations under the preferred securities issued are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities and the common securities were utilized by Trust IV to invest in $36.1 million of fixed/variable rate subordinated debt of the Company. The subordinated debt is unsecured and ranks subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Company. The subordinated debt primarily represents the sole assets of Trust IV. Interest on the preferred securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right to optionally redeem the subordinated debt prior to the maturity date of February 10, 2035, on or after February 10, 2011, at the redemption price, which is equal to the liquidation amount, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, at the redemption date. Under the occurrence of certain events, specifically, a tax event, investment company event or capital treatment event as more fully defined in the Indenture dated February 10, 2005, the Company may redeem in whole, but not in part, the subordinated debt at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of such event. Proceeds from any redemption of the subordinated debt would cause a mandatory redemption of the preferred securities and the common securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the principal amount of the subordinated debt redeemed. The Company did not have any deferred debt issuance costs associated with the preferred securities.

8.   Retirement Plans

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Directors’ Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a Supplemental Executive Benefit Plan (SERP) in order to provide supplemental retirement and death benefits for certain key employees of the Company. Under the SERP, participants shall receive an annual retirement benefit following retirement at age 65 equal to 25% of the participant’s final average pay multiplied by a ratio, ranging from 1.25% to 25.0%, based on the participant’s total years of service. Final average pay is based upon the participant’s last three year’s compensation. The maximum ratio of 25% requires twenty or more years of credited service and the minimum ratio of 1.25% requires one year of credited service. Benefits under the plan are payable in either a lump sum or ten equal annual payments and a lesser benefit is payable upon early retirement at age 50 with at least twelve years of service. If a participant dies prior to retirement, the participant’s estate will receive a lump sum payment equal to the net present value of future benefit payments under the plan. At June 30, 2011, the participants in the plan had credited service under the SERP ranging from 20 to 32 years.

The Company and the Bank maintain the ESB Financial Corporation Directors’ Retirement Plan and have entered into director retirement agreements with each director of the Company and the Bank. The plan provides that any retiring director with a minimum of five or more years of service with the Company or the Bank and a minimum of 10 total years of service, including years of service with any bank acquired by the Company or the Bank, that remains in continuous service as a board member until age 75 will be entitled to receive an annual retirement benefit equal to his or her director’s fees earned during the last full calendar year prior to his or her retirement date, multiplied by a ratio, ranging from 25% to 80%, based on the director’s total years of service. The maximum ratio of 80% of fees requires 20 or more years of service and the minimum ratio of 25% of fees requires 10 years of service. Retirement benefits may also be payable under the plan if a director retires from service as a director prior to attaining age 75. Three directors are currently receiving monthly benefits under the plan.

9.   Fair Value

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are as follows:

 

Level I:

   Quoted prices are available in the active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:

  

Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:

   Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Due to recent uncertainties in the credit markets broadly, and the lack of both trading and new issuance of floating rate trust preferred securities, market price indications generally reflect the lack of liquidity in these markets. Due to this lack of practical quoted prices, fair value for floating rate trust preferred securities has been determined using a discounted cash-flow technique. Cash flows are estimated based upon the contractual terms of each instrument. Market rates have been calculated based upon the five year historical discount margin for these instruments from August 2002 through August 2007, when the market was more liquid. These market rates were then adjusted for credit spreads and liquidity risk given the current markets. Credit spreads are based upon the Moody’s rating for each bond and range from 30 to 85 basis points. Liquidity risk adjustments ranged from 15 to 55 basis points where the securities of the 10 largest banks in the United States are assigned 15 to 20 basis points and banks outside of the top 10 were given a higher liquidity risk adjustment. Approximately $18.7 million or 49.6% of the $37.7 million in floating rate trust preferred securities represent investments in three of the four largest banks in the United States.

The following table presents the changes in the Level III fair-value category for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company classifies financial instruments in Level III of the fair-value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly.

10.   Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments, consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under line of credit lending arrangements and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are received.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair values of financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amounts of cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Securities – With the exception of floating rate trust preferred securities ( the valuation of the trust preferred securities is discussed in footnote 9, Fair Value), fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique which is widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

Securities receivableThe carrying amount of securities receivable approximates their fair values.

Loans receivable and held for sale – Fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values of impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate their fair values.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

FHLB stock – FHLB stock is restricted from trading purposes and thus, the carrying value approximates its fair value.

Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) – The fair value of BOLI at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated the cash surrender value of the policies at those dates.

Interest rate cap and interest rate swap contracts – Fair values of interest rate cap and interest rate swap contracts are based on dealer quotes.

Deposits – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.

Borrowed funds and junior subordinated notes – For variable rate borrowings, fair values are based on carrying values. For fixed rate borrowings, fair values are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows and on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Fair values of structured borrowings are based on dealer quotes.

The Company is continuing efforts to improve the net interest margin by employing strategies to decrease the cost of funds, while attempting to increase the yield from the investment portfolio. The Company employs a strategy of purchasing cash-flowing fixed and variable rate mortgage-backed securities funded by wholesale borrowings, which are comprised of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements. This is referred to as the Company’s wholesale strategy. As part of the wholesale strategy, the Company uses a laddered maturity schedule of two to five years on the wholesale borrowings. Recently, as part of its ongoing interest rate risk strategy, the Company purchased structured repurchase agreements (repo’s) with imbedded interest rate caps. These interest rate caps will aid in insulating the Company’s net interest margin against a rapid rise in interest rates which can cause significant pressure to the Company’s interest rate margin.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $60.0 million of maturing wholesale borrowings at a weighted average rate of 2.87% and an original call/maturity of 2.2 years. The borrowings that matured were replaced with deposit growth of approximately $89.6 million during the period.

The wholesale strategy operates with a lower cost of operations, although with lower interest rate spreads and therefore at a lower margin than the retail operations of the Company. The Company has utilized this strategy for several years. The Company manages this strategy through its interest rate risk management on a macro level. This strategy historically produces wider margins during periods of lower short-term interest rates, reflected in a steep yield curve and can be susceptible to net interest margin strain in both rapidly rising rates and rapidly declining rates as well as a sustained inverted yield curve.

Management continues to pursue methods of insulating this wholesale strategy from significant fluctuations in interest rates by: (1) incorporating a laddered maturity schedule of up to five years on the wholesale borrowings; (2) the purchase of off-balance sheet interest rate caps and interest rate caps imbedded in structured borrowing’s, which help to insulate the Company’s interest rate risk position from increases in interest rates; (3) providing structure in the investment portfolio in the form of corporate bonds and municipals securities; (4) utilizing cash flows from fixed and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities; and (5) the placing of the Company’s securities in the available for sale portfolio thereby creating the flexibility to change the composition of the portfolio through restructuring as management deems it necessary due to interest rate fluctuations. Management believes that this insulation affords them the ability to react to measured changes in interest rates and restructure the Company’s statement of financial condition accordingly. This strategy is continually evaluated by management on an ongoing basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary. The Company recorded net income of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The $316,000, or 8.0%, increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $416,000 and $93,000, respectively, as well as a decrease in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $177,000. These increases were offset by increases in noninterest expense and provision for income taxes of $310,000 and $60,000, respectively.

The Company recorded net income of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $596,000, or 8.1%, increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of increases in net interest income after provision for loan losses and noninterest income of $491,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense, provision for income taxes and net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $818,000, $136,000 and $350,000, respectively.

Net interest income. Net interest income, the primary source of revenue for the Company, is determined by the Company’s interest rate spread, which is defined as the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets, and the relative amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Management periodically adjusts the mix of assets and liabilities, as well as the rates earned or paid on those assets and liabilities in order to manage and improve net interest income. The level of interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of interest earning assets and liabilities affect the Company’s net interest income. Historically from an interest rate risk perspective, it has been management’s perception that differing interest rate environments, these being, extended low long-term interest rates, rapidly rising short-term interest rates as well as a sustained inverted yield curve, can cause sensitivity to the Company’s net interest income.

Net interest income increased $416,000, or 3.9%, to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $10.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in net interest income was the result of a decrease in interest expense of $1.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.2 million.

Net interest income increased by $437,000, or 2.0%, to $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $21.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in net interest income was the result of interest expense decreasing by $3.8 million, partially offset by a decrease to interest income of $3.4 million.

Interest income. Interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 5.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease can primarily be attributed to decreases in interest earned on loans receivable and securities available for sale of $721,000 and $486,000, respectively.

Interest earned on loans receivable decreased $721,000, or 7.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding of $30.8 million, or 4.6%, to $645.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $676.6 million for the same period in the prior year, as well as a decrease in the yield on the portfolio of 15 basis points to 5.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 5.66% for the same period in the prior year.

Interest earned on securities decreased $486,000, or 4.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of a 31 basis point decrease in the tax equivalent yield on securities to 4.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 4.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of the securities portfolio of $34.9 million, or 3.3%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2011.

Interest income decreased $3.4 million, or 7.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease can primarily be attributed to decreases in interest earned on loans receivable and securities available for sale of $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

Interest earned on loans receivable decreased $1.6 million, or 8.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding of $32.1 million, or 4.7%, to $644.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $676.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the yield on loans receivable decreased by 20 basis points to 5.49% at June 30, 2011 from 5.69% at June 30, 2010, respectively.

Interest earned on securities decreased $1.8 million, or 7.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the tax equivalent yield on securities of 39 basis points to 4.52% at June 30, 2011 as compared to 4.91% at June 30, 2010, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of the securities portfolio of $16.5 million, or 1.6%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2011.

These changes are reflected in the rate volume tables presented below which depict that the decreases to the expense associated with the Company’s interest bearing liabilities are the primary sources of the overall increase to net interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 15.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease in interest expense can be attributed to decreases in interest incurred on deposits, borrowed funds and junior subordinated notes of $518,000, $1.1 million and $7,000, respectively.

Interest incurred on deposits decreased $518,000, or 14.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.24% from 1.58% for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $79.4 million, or 8.7% to $995.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $915.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company manages its cost of

interest bearing deposits by diligently monitoring the interest rates on its products as well as the rates being offered by its competition through weekly interest rate committee meetings and utilizing rate surveys and hence subsequently adjusting rates accordingly.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds decreased $1.1 million, or 17.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds of $90.1 million, or 12.6%, as well as a decrease in the cost of these funds to 3.39% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 3.58%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense decreased $3.8 million, or 17.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease in interest expense can be attributed to decreases in interest incurred on deposits, borrowed funds and junior subordinated notes of $1.1 million, $2.7 million and $19,000, respectively.

Interest incurred on deposits decreased $1.1 million, or 14.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a 35 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 1.31% from 1.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $70.8 million, or 7.8%, to $973.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $902.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Interest incurred on borrowed funds decreased $2.7 million, or 20.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds of $108.2 million, or 14.6%, to $633.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $741.5 million for the same period in the prior year, as well as a 24 basis point decrease in the cost of these funds between the periods to 3.37% from 3.61% for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

In addition to its wholesale strategy, the Company manages its cost of borrowings through the use of debt associated with the issuance of trust preferred securities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the interest incurred on these borrowings decreased by $7,000, or 1.1%, due to a decrease in the cost of these funds to 5.24% from 5.31% for the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the interest incurred on these borrowings decreased by $19,000, or 1.6%, due to a decrease in the cost of these funds to 5.24% from 5.32% for the same period in the prior year.

Average Balance Sheet and Yield/Rate Analysis. The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information concerning the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs, net interest income, interest rate spread and the net interest margin earned on average interest-earning assets. For purposes of these tables, average balances are calculated using monthly averages and the average loan balances include non-accrual loans and exclude the allowance for loan losses, and interest income includes accretion of net deferred loan fees. Yields on tax-exempt securities (tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes) are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis utilizing a federal tax rate of 34%. Yields and rates have been calculated on an annualized basis utilizing monthly interest amounts.

(1) The yield on earning assets and the net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) and annualized basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt investments and tax-exempt loans using the federal statutory rate of 34% for each period presented. ESB believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.

Table of Contents

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following tables analyze the changes in interest income and interest expense, between the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to which changes in the Company’s interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume), changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on securities reflects the changes in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses remained the same at $200,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 and decreased $54,000 to $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $554,000 for the same period last year. These provisions were part of the normal operations of the

Company for the second quarter and first six months of 2011. In determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the financial condition of borrowers, economic conditions (particularly as they relate to markets where the Company originates loans), the status of non-performing assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company’s total allowance for losses on loans at June 30, 2011 amounted to $6.7 million, or 1.01% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, as compared to $6.5 million, or 1.00%, at December 31, 2010. The Company’s allowance for losses on loans as a percentage of non-performing loans was 44.61% and 49.78% at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased $93,000, or 5.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The $93,000 increase in non-interest income was comprised of an increase to net gain on sale of securities of $532,000 and a decrease in net impairment losses on securities of $272,000, partially offset by decreases in fees and service charges, net gain on sale of loans, net surrender value of bank owned life insurance and income from real estate joint ventures of $116,000, $3,000, $17,000 and $241,000, respectively, as well as an increase in net realized loss on derivatives of $330,000.

Non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 80.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year. The $1.4 million increase in non-interest income was comprised of increases in net gain on sale of securities and income from real estate joint venture of $532,000 and $667,000, respectively and a decrease to net impairment losses on securities of $581,000, partially offset by decreases in fees and service charges and net surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $208,000 and $32,000, respectively, as well as an increase in net realized loss on derivatives of $135,000.

Fees and service charges decreased $116,000 and $208,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year. These decreases are due to decreases in fees charged on checking accounts, primarily related to a decline in non-sufficient funds fees.

Net realized gain on sale of securities available for sale increased $532,000 for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company had $5.0 million in sales from the portfolio during 2011, consisting of sales of fixed-rate mortgage backed securities of $4.2 million, adjustable-rate mortgage back securities of $648,000 and common stock of $204,000 resulting in a gain of $532,000.

Impairment losses on investment securities decreased $272,000 and $581,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Company took impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2010 of approximately $426,000 on a $2.5 million collateralized debt obligation that is comprised of sixteen financial institutions, $115,000 on a collateralized mortgage obligation and $40,000 on two of its equity investments in community banks that had experienced a decline in its market value during the last several quarters.

The Company had losses on derivatives during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $744,000 compared to losses in the same period in 2010 of $414,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company had losses on derivatives of $868,000 compared to losses during the same period in 2010 of $733,000. These fluctuations were due to market value adjustments to the Company’s interest rate caps.

Real estate joint venture income decreased $241,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and increased $667,000 for the six month period when compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2010. The Company has a 51% ownership in its real estate joint ventures. The Company has a mixture of joint ventures in which it participates either in land development only or construction of units. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company took an impairment charge to land acquisition and development costs of $852,000 at one of the Company’s joint ventures, as a result of a recent appraisal of the property. This charge partially offsets the income recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased $310,000, or 4.6%, to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $6.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily related to increases in compensation and employee benefits and other expenses of $269,000 and $176,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of $187,000.

Non-interest expense increased $818,000, or 6.1%, to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $13.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily related to increases in compensation and employee benefits, premises and equipment, data processing and other expenses of $666,000, $50,000, $92,000 and $293,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of $197,000.

Compensation and employee benefits increased $269,000 and $666,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were primarily due to normal salary adjustments between the periods as well as increases to compensation expense related to stock options and the ESOP.

Other expenses increased $176,000 and $293,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily due to increased operating costs for the Company’s joint ventures and REO properties as well as losses on the Company’s partnership in a tax credit, consulting contracts and employee education expenses.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $60,000, or 5.5%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 21.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 21.7% for the same period in the prior year.

The provision for income taxes increased $136,000, or 7.1%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 20.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 20.7% for the same period in the prior year.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

General. The Company’s total assets increased by $53.9 million, or 2.8%, during the quarter to $1.97 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.91 billion at December 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from increases to cash and cash equivalents, securities available for sale, premises and equipment, real estate acquired through foreclosure and bank owned life insurance of $15.4 million, or 43.0%, $47.7 million, or 4.4%, $682,000, or 4.9%, $246,000 or 22.7% and $343,000, or 1.1%, partially offset by decreases in loans receivable, loans held for sale, accrued interest receivable, FHLB stock, real estate held for investment, intangible assets, securities receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.1 million, or 0.2%, $80,000, or 100.0%, $475,000, or 4.9%, $2.5 million or 9.8%, $2.6 million, or 11.9%, $180,000, or 20.1%, $655,000, or 30.1% and $2.9 million, or 24.2%. Total non-performing assets increased to $16.3 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $14.4 million at December 31, 2010 and non-performing assets to total assets were 0.83% at June 30, 2011 compared to 0.75% at December 31, 2010. The Company’s total liabilities increased $43.4 million, or 2.5%, to $1.79 billion at June 30, 2011. Total stockholders’ equity increased $10.5 million, or 6.3%, to $177.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $167.4 million at December 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from increases in deposits and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $89.6 million, or 8.9%, and $6.6 million, or 52.2%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in borrowed funds of $53.1 million, or 7.4%. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily the result of increases in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and a decrease in treasury stock of $4.2 million, partially offset by an increase in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares of $4.7 million. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 8.94%, and book value per share was $12.03 at June 30, 2011 compared to 8.87% and $11.63, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

Cash on hand, Interest-earning deposits and Federal funds sold. Cash on hand, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold represent cash equivalents. Cash equivalents increased a combined $15.4 million, or 43.0%, to $51.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $35.7 million at December 31, 2010. These accounts are typically increased by deposits from customers into saving and checking accounts, loan and security repayments and proceeds from borrowed funds. Decreases result from customer withdrawals, new loan originations, security purchases and repayments of borrowed funds.

Securities. The Company’s securities and loan portfolios represent its two largest balance sheet asset classifications, respectively. The Company’s securities portfolio increased by $47.7 million, or 4.4%, to $1.1 billion

at June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded purchases of available for sale securities of $157.4 million, consisting of purchases of fixed-rate mortgage backed securities of $146.8 million, adjustable-rate securities of $5.1 million, $4.9 million of municipal bonds and $681,000 of equity securities. In addition, the portfolio increased by $8.6 million due to increases in market value. These fair value adjustments represent temporary fluctuations resulting from changes in market rates in relation to average yields in the available for sale portfolio. Offsetting these increases were sales of $5.0 million, consisting of sales of fixed-rate mortgage backed securities of $4.2 million, adjustable-rate mortgage back securities of $648,000 and common stock of $204,000 resulting in a gain of $532,000. In addition, there were repayments and maturities of securities of $113.1 million and premium amortizations of $732,000.

The Company’s investment strategy for 2011 is to utilize the cash flows from the mortgage backed securities and investment portfolios for the funding of loans and for reinvestment into similar investment products to maintain or improve the Company’s interest rate sensitivity. The Company intends to also purchase corporate or municipal bonds to provide structure should a low interest rate environment prevail. As an additional step to aid interest rate sensitivity the Company secured $105.0 million of wholesale borrowings with embedded interest rate caps totaling $130.0 million to help insulate the net interest margin against a rapid rise in short term interest rates and $160.0 million, notional amount, of interest rate caps that are unhedged and marked to market quarterly through the income statement. In the first six months of 2011, this resulted in approximately $868,000 of non-interest expense due to decreases in the fair value of these interest rate caps.

Quarterly, the Company reviews its securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment. This review includes an assessment of the following factors; the rating of the security, the length of time that the decline in fair value has existed, the financial condition of the issuer and the issuer’s ability to continue to pay interest or dividends, whether the decline can be attributed to specific adverse conditions in the geographic area or industry, the extent that fair value is below cost and management’s ability to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for recovery.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had securities with unrealized losses for greater than twelve months of $6.8 million, as more fully described in footnote 2 “Securities”. Included in the $6.8 million were unrealized losses attributed to the Company’s floating rate trust preferred corporate bonds. Management’s conclusion after reviewing all of the factors is that although the market value of these securities is below book value and will most likely remain so until the economic environment changes, we believe it to be a function of widening credit spreads that have affected the corporate bond market in general as the economy has weakened and is not a reflection of the issuers’ credit worthiness. Therefore, although some of the bonds exhibit a few of the indicators of an other-than-temporary impairment, the majority of the evidence indicates that no impairment exists at this time and the decline is due to the widening credit spreads as well as the current interest rate environment. Finally, the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and considers the securities an important part of managing its interest rate risk profile.

Loans receivable. The loans receivable category consists primarily of single family mortgage loans used to purchase or refinance personal residences located within the Company’s market area and commercial real estate loans used to finance properties that are used in the borrowers businesses or to finance investor-owned rental properties, and to a lesser extent commercial and consumer loans. Net loans receivable decreased $1.1 million, or 0.2%, to $639.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $640.9 million at December 31, 2010. Included in this decrease in loans receivable were decreases in mortgage loans and consumer loans of $185,000, or 0.04%, and $753,000, or 0.6%, respectively, partially offset by an increase in commercial business loans of $2.5 million, or 6.1%,. Additionally the portfolio is affected by changes in the allowance for loan losses, deferred loan fees and loans in process which combined increased $2.6 million, or 15.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, causing a reduction to the portfolio.

Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale decreased $80,000, or 100.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2011. During the six month period, the Company originated loans held for sale of approximately $325,000 and sold approximately $411,000, with a resulting gain of approximately $6,000.

Non-performing assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, repossessed automobiles, real estate acquired through foreclosure (REO) and troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more.

Non-performing assets amounted to $16.3 million, or 0.83%, of total assets at June 30, 2011 compared to $14.4 million, or 0.75%, of total assets at December 31, 2010. The increase in non-performing assets of approximately $1.9 million was primarily the result of increases in non-performing loans, REO and TDR of $1.6 million, $246,000 and $136,000, partially offset by a decrease to the repossessed vehicles of $106,000. The $1.6 million increase in non-performing loans was primarily due a loan to a local developer to construct 1-4 family residences, which became delinquent during the period.

FHLB Stock. FHLB stock decreased by $2.5 million, or 9.8%, to $23.6 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $26.1 million at December 31, 2010. The Bank is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh in an amount not less than 5.0% of its outstanding notes payable to the FHLB of Pittsburgh. In 2008 the FHLB suspended both the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock. During the fourth quarter of 2010 the FHLB partially lifted the suspension with a limited repurchase of excess stock. The dividend suspension remains in effect and no dividends were paid in 2011 or 2010. This repurchase restriction could result in the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock being greater than 5.0% of its outstanding notes payable to the FHLB.

Real Estate Held for Investment. The Company’s real estate held for investment decreased by $2.6 million or 11.8%, to $19.7 million at June 30, 2011 from $22.3 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease was partially the result of sales activity in the joint ventures in which the Company has a 51% ownership, offset by construction activity within those joint ventures.

Intangible assets. Intangible assets decreased $180,000, or 20.1%, to $715,000 at June 30, 2011 from $895,000 at December 31, 2010. The decrease primarily resulted from normal amortization of the core deposit intangible from acquisitions. Amortization is expected to total $332,000, $251,000, $170,000, $110,000 and $8,000 for the years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Bank owned life insurance. Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) is universal life insurance, purchased by the Bank, on the lives of the Bank’s employees. The beneficial aspects of these universal life insurance policies are tax-free earnings and a tax-free death benefit, which are realized by ESB as the owner of the policies. The cash surrender value of the BOLI as of June 30, 2011 was $30.4 million.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $2.9 million, or 24.2%, to $8.9 million at June 30, 2011 from $11.8 million at December 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of an interest rate cap of $189,000, a decrease in the prepaid FDIC assessment of $727,000, and a decline in the fair value of the interest rate caps of $759,000, partially offset by the purchase of six interest rate caps during the quarter at a cost of $1.3 million and a decline in the deferred tax asset of $2.8 million. In 2009, the FDIC amended its regulations and required insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments through the year 2012. The Company’s prepaid assessment was $4.5 million at December 31, 2010 and has declined to $3.8 million at June 30, 2011.

Deposits. The Company considers various sources when evaluating funding needs, including but not limited to deposits, which are a significant source of funds. Deposits totaled $1.1 billion, or 62.5%, of the Company’s total funding sources at June 30, 2011. Total deposits increased $89.6 million, or 8.8%, to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2010. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $73.1 million and time deposits increased $13.2 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, while non-interest bearing deposits increased approximately $3.3 million during the same period. The deposit growth was comprised primarily of low interest core deposits which increased approximately $76.4 million during the quarter. The Company continues to pursue low cost core deposit funding through its ongoing campaign to increase commercial, public and personal checking accounts throughout its 24 branch network. The Company will continue to offer these products to its customers through its 25th branch opening later this year in Cranberry Township, PA.

Borrowed funds. The Company utilizes short and long-term borrowings as another source of funding used for asset growth and liquidity needs. These borrowings include FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, junior subordinated notes, borrowings from the Federal Reserve and corporate debt. Borrowed funds decreased $53.1 million, or 7.4%, to $662.4 million at June 30, 2011 from $715.5 million at December 31, 2010. FHLB advances

decreased $56.3 million, or 19.4%, repurchase agreements remained the same at $363.0 million, other borrowings increased approximately $3.2 million, or 20.7%, while junior subordinated notes remained the same at $46.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Borrowed funds and deposits are two of the primary sources of funds for the Company. As part of its general business practice, the Company seeks out the most competitive rate on the products and will adjust the mix of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements accordingly.

Accounts payable for land development. The accounts payable for land development decreased $383,000, or 11.2%, to $3.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $3.4 million at December 31, 2010. This account represents the unpaid portion of the development costs for the Company’s joint ventures.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $6.6 million, or 52.2%, to $19.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $12.6 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the deferred tax liability of $2.8 million as well as increases in accrued interest and escrow accounts and various liability accounts.

Stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $10.5 million, or 6.3%, to $177.9 million at June 30, 2011, from $167.4 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily the result of increases in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, and a decrease in treasury stock of $4.2 million, partially offset by an increase in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares of $4.7 million. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 8.94%, and book value per share was $12.03 at June 30, 2011 compared to 8.87% and $11.63, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the Company’s asset and liability management function is to maximize the Company’s net interest income while simultaneously maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate risk given the Company’s operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, performance objectives and overall business focus. The principal determinant of the exposure of the Company’s earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between the repricing or maturity of interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s asset and liability management policies are designed to decrease interest rate sensitivity primarily by shortening the maturities of interest-earning assets while at the same time extending the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The Board of Directors of the Company continues to believe in strong asset/liability management in order to insulate the Company from material and prolonged increases in interest rates. As a result of this policy, the Company emphasizes a larger, more diversified portfolio of residential mortgage loans in the form of mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the Company’s assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.

The Company’s Board of Directors has established an Asset and Liability Management Committee consisting of outside directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Group Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer, Group Senior Vice President/Operations and Group Senior Vice President/Lending. This committee, which meets quarterly, generally monitors various asset and liability management policies and strategies, which were implemented by the Company over the past few years. These strategies have included: (i) an emphasis on the investment in adjustable-rate and shorter duration mortgage-backed securities, (ii) an emphasis on the origination of single-family residential adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), residential construction loans and commercial real estate loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest rates and/or shorter maturities than traditional single-family residential loans, and consumer loans, which generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans, (iii) increase the duration of the liability base of the Company by extending the maturities of savings deposits, borrowed funds and repurchase agreements and (iv) the purchase of off-balance sheet interest rate caps and structured borrowings with imbedded caps which help to insulate the Bank’s interest rate risk position from increases in interest rates.

As of June 30, 2011, the implementation of these asset and liability initiatives resulted in the following: (i) $159.4 million or 19.8% of the Company’s portfolio of mortgage-backed securities were secured by ARMs; (ii) $191.8 million or 29.1% of the Company’s total loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of 12 months or less and $60.5 million or 18.1% of the Company’s portfolio of single-family residential mortgage loans (including residential construction loans) consisted of ARMs, (iii) the weighted average call/maturity of the Company’s FHLB

advances and repurchase agreements was 3.9 years and (iv) the Company had $160.0 million in notional amount of interest rate caps and $105.0 million in structured borrowings with $130.0 million in notional amount of imbedded caps

The implementation of the foregoing asset and liability initiatives and strategies, combined with other external factors such as demand for the Company’s products and economic and interest rate environments in general, has resulted in the Company historically being able to maintain a one-year interest rate sensitivity gap ranging between 0.0% of total assets to a negative 20.0% of total assets. The one-year interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the Company’s interest-earning assets, which are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year and its interest-bearing liabilities, which are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled $641.4 million while the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one-year totaled $655.7 million, providing a deficiency of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $14.3 million or a negative 0.7% of total assets. At June 30, 2011, the percentage of the Company’s assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 97.8%. The Company strives to maintain its one-year interest rate sensitivity gap between a range of 0.0% and a negative 20.0% of total assets.

The one-year interest rate sensitivity gap has been the most common industry standard used to measure an institution’s interest rate risk position. In recent years, in addition to utilizing interest rate sensitivity gap analysis, the Company has increased its emphasis on the utilization of interest rate sensitivity simulation analysis to evaluate and manage interest rate risk.

The Company also utilizes income simulation modeling in measuring its interest rate risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity. The Asset and Liability Management Committee of the Company believes that simulation modeling enables the Company to more accurately evaluate and manage the possible effects on net interest income due to the exposure to changing market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and different loan and mortgage-backed security prepayment and deposit decay assumptions under various interest rate scenarios.

As with gap analysis and earnings simulation modeling, assumptions about the timing and variability of cash flows are critical in economic value of equity (EVE) valuation analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the assumptions about expected attrition of the core deposit portfolios. These assumptions are based on the Company’s historical experience and industry standards and are applied consistently across the different rate risk measures.

The Company has established the following guidelines for assessing interest rate risk:

Net interest income simulation: Given a 200 basis point parallel and gradual increase or decrease in market interest rates, the Company strives to maintain the change in net interest income to no more than approximately 10% for a one-year period.

Economic Value of Equity (EVE): EVE is the net present value of the Company’s existing assets and liabilities. EVE is expressed as a percentage of the value of equity to total assets. Given a 200 basis point immediate and permanent increase or decrease in market interest rates, the Company strives to maintain the EVE increase or decrease to no more than approximately 50% of stockholders equity.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 100 basis point or 200 basis point upward or downward shift of market interest rates on net interest income, return on average equity, diluted earnings per share and the change in EVE. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2011 remained constant. The impact of the market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of rates changing gradually over a one-year period from the June 30, 2011 levels for net interest income, return on average equity and diluted earnings per share. The impact of market rate movements was developed by simulating the effects of an immediate and permanent change in rates at June 30, 2011 for the change in EVE. The impact of the rate change for net interest income is compared to the base amount which can fluctuate from period to period.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB, repurchase agreement borrowings and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and maturing investment securities.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily comprised of net income of $8.4 million and increases in amortization of premiums and discounts and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively as well as slight variances in other operating activities. Other operating activities included the proceeds from the sale of loans available for sale of $411,000 and origination of loans available for sale of $325,000.

Funds used in investing activities totaled $35.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Primary uses of funds included $157.4 million for purchases of securities available for sale and $80.1 million for loan originations and purchases. These uses were partially offset by sources of funds from principal repayments of loans receivable and securities available for sale of $82.0 million and $113.1 million, respectively.

Funds provided by financing activities totaled $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The primary sources of funds included an increase in deposits and proceeds from long-term borrowings of $92.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively.

Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of investment securities. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through FHLB advances and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.

On June 21, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of common stock payable July 25, 2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2011. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company’s financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will in fact be paid on the common stock in future periods or that, if paid, such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions must maintain leverage capital equal to 4% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) may require higher core capital ratios if warranted, and institutions are to maintain capital levels consistent with their risk exposures. The FDIC reserves the right to apply this higher standard to any insured financial institution when considering an institution’s capital adequacy. At June 30, 2011, ESB Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with leverage and risk-based capital ratios of 7.6% and 15.0%, respectively.

Management believes there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2010.
