PART I

Item 1.Business:

a) General

Unity Bancorp, Inc., (the "Company" or "Registrant"), is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey to serve as a holding company for Unity Bank  (the “Bank”).  The Company was organized at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank.  Pursuant to the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948 (the "Banking Act"), and pursuant to approval of the shareholders of the Bank, the Company acquired the Bank and became its holding company on December 1, 1994.  The only significant activity of the Company is ownership and supervision of the Bank.  The Company also owns 100% of the common equity of Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II and Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust III.  The trusts have issued $10.3 million and $5.2 million of preferred securities to investors, respectively.

The Bank opened for business on September 16, 1991.  The Bank received its charter from the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance on September 13, 1991.  The Bank is a full-service commercial bank, providing a wide range of business and consumer financial services through its main office in Clinton, New Jersey and fourteen New Jersey branches located in Clinton, Edison, Flemington, Highland Park, Linden, Middlesex, North Plainfield, Phillipsburg, Scotch Plains, Somerset, South Plainfield, Union, Washington and Whitehouse.  In addition, the Bank has one Pennsylvania branch located in Forks Township.  The Bank's primary service area encompasses the Route 22/Route 78 corridors between the Forks Township, Pennsylvania office and its Linden, New Jersey branch.

The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 64 Old Highway 22, Clinton, New Jersey 08809, and the telephone number is (908) 730-7630.  The Company’s website address is www.unitybank.com.

Business of the Company

The Company's primary business is ownership and supervision of the Bank.  The Company, through the Bank, conducts a traditional and community-oriented commercial banking business and offers services, including personal and business checking accounts, time deposits, money market accounts and regular savings accounts.  The Company structures its specific services and charges in a manner designed to attract the business of the small and medium sized business and professional community, as well as that of individuals residing, working and shopping in its service area.  The Company engages in a wide range of lending activities and offers commercial, Small Business Administration (“SBA”), consumer, mortgage, home equity and personal loans.

Service Areas

The Company's primary service area is defined as the neighborhoods served by the Bank's offices.  The Bank's main office, located in Clinton, NJ, in combination with its Flemington and Whitehouse offices, serves the greater area of Hunterdon County.  The Bank's North Plainfield and Somerset offices serve those communities located in the northern, eastern and central parts of Somerset County and the southernmost communities of Union County.  The Bank's Scotch Plains, Linden, and Union offices serve the majority of the communities in Union County and the southwestern communities of Essex County.  The offices in Middlesex, South Plainfield, Highland Park, and Edison extend the Company's service area into Middlesex County.  The Bank’s Phillipsburg and Washington offices serve Warren County.  The Bank’s Forks Township office serves Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

4

Competition

The Company is located in an extremely competitive area.  The Company's service area is also serviced by national banks, major regional banks, large thrift institutions and a variety of credit unions.  In addition, since passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (the “Modernization Act”), securities firms and insurance companies have been allowed to acquire or form financial institutions, thereby increasing competition in the financial services market.  Most of the Company's competitors have substantially more capital, and therefore greater lending limits than the Company.  The Company's competitors generally have established positions in the service area and have greater resources than the Company with which to pay for advertising, physical facilities, personnel and interest on deposited funds.  The Company relies on the competitive pricing of its loans, deposits and other services, as well as its ability to provide local decision-making and personal service in order to compete with these larger institutions.

Employees

At December 31, 2012, the Company employed 158 full-time and 14 part-time employees.  None of the Company's employees are represented by any collective bargaining units.  The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Executive Officers of Registrant

The following table sets forth certain information as of December 31, 2012, regarding each executive officer of the Company who is not also a director.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General Supervision and Regulation

Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state law, and these laws are subject to change.  As an example, in the summer of 2010, Congress passed, and the President signed, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) (discussed below).  These laws and regulations are intended to protect depositors, not stockholders.  To the extent that the following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions.  Any change in the applicable law or regulation may have a material effect on the business and prospects of the Company and the Bank.  Management of the Company is unable to predict, at this time, the impact of future changes to laws and regulations.

5

General Bank Holding Company Regulation

General:  As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, (the "BHCA"), the Company is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”).  The Company is required to file with the FRB annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiaries.  Under the BHCA, the Company's activities and those of its subsidiaries are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries or engaging in any other activity which the FRB determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto.

The BHCA requires, among other things, the prior approval of the FRB in any case where a bank holding company proposes to; (i) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any other bank; (ii) acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any bank (unless it owns a majority of such bank's voting shares); or (iii) merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company.  The FRB will not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a substantially anti-competitive effect, unless the anti-competitive impact of the proposed transaction is clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served.  The FRB also considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the companies and the banks concerned, together with the convenience and needs of the community to be served, when reviewing acquisitions or mergers.

The BHCA also generally prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited exceptions, from; (i) acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company; or (ii) engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or performing services for its subsidiaries, unless such non-banking business is determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be properly incident thereto.  In making such determinations, the FRB is required to weigh the expected benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, against the possible adverse effects such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.

The BHCA was substantially amended through the Modernization Act.  The Modernization Act permits bank holding companies and banks, which meet certain capital, management and Community Reinvestment Act standards, to engage in a broader range of non-banking activities.  In addition, bank holding companies, which elect to become financial holding companies, may engage in certain banking and non-banking activities without prior FRB approval.  Finally, the Modernization Act imposes certain privacy requirements on all financial institutions and their treatment of consumer information.  At this time, the Company has elected not to become a financial holding company.

There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by law and regulatory policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such depository institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insurance fund in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default.  Under regulations of the FRB, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy.  The FRB also has the authority under the BHCA to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary upon the FRB's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

6

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies:  The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies.  The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Under these guidelines, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad-risk categories, each with appropriate weights.  The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.

The risk-based guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $500 million or more.  The minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%.  At least 4% of the total capital is required to be "Tier I," consisting of common stockholders' equity and certain preferred stock and other qualifying hybrid instruments, less certain goodwill items and other intangible assets.  The remainder, "Tier II Capital," may consist of the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and certain other securities which do not qualify as Tier I capital.  Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital, less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations' capital instruments, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and any other deductions as determined by the FRB (determined on a case-by-case basis or as a matter of policy after formal rule-making).

Bank holding company assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%.  In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given similar credit conversion factors to convert them to asset-equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weighting will apply.  These computations result in the total risk-weighted assets.  Most loans are assigned to the 100% risk category, except for performing first-mortgage loans that are fully secured by residential property, which carry a 50% risk-weighting.  Most investment securities (including, primarily, general obligation claims of states or other political subdivisions of the United States) are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weighting, and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury or obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which have a 0% risk-weighting.  In converting off-balance sheet items, direct credit substitutes (including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing financial obligations) are given a 100% risk-weighting.  Transaction-related contingencies, such as standby letters of credit backing non-financial obligations and undrawn commitments (including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more than one year), have a 50% risk-weighting.  Short-term commercial letters of credit have a 20% risk-weighting and certain short-term unconditionally cancelable commitments have a 0% risk-weighting.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB has adopted a minimum Tier I capital (leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier I capital to average total consolidated assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company that has the highest regulatory examination rating and is not contemplating significant growth or expansion.  All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the stated minimum.

The Company is currently in compliance with these minimum Federal capital requirements. However, there are proposals pending to revise and enhance the capital requirements applicable to the Company.  The Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, adopted Basel III in September 2010, which constitutes a strengthened set of capital requirements for banking organizations in the United States and around the world. Basel III is currently the subject of notices of proposed rulemakings released in June of 2012 by the respective U.S. federal banking agencies. Basel III would require a minimum amount of capital to be held in the form of tangible common equity, generally increase the required capital ratios, phase out certain kinds of intangibles treated as capital and certain types of instruments and change the risk weightings of assets used to determine required capital ratios.   In addition, institutions that seek the freedom to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction must also maintain 2.5% in common equity attributable to a capital conservation buffer to be phased in from January 1, 2016 until January 1, 2019.  However, on November 9, 2012, the U.S. federal banking agencies announced that they do not expect that any of the proposed rules would become effective on January 1, 2013.  They did not indicate the likely new effective date.

General Bank Regulation

As a New Jersey-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the regulation, supervision, and control of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”).  As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and control of the FDIC, an agency of the federal government.  The regulations of the FDIC and the Department affect virtually all activities of the Bank, including the minimum level of capital that the Bank must maintain, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, the ability of the Bank to expand through new branches or acquisitions and various other matters.

Insurance of Deposits:The Dodd-Frank Act has caused significant changes in the FDIC’s insurance of deposit accounts. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the FDIC deposit insurance limit to $250 thousand per depositor.

On February 7, 2011 the FDIC announced the approval of the assessment system mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.  Dodd-Frank required that the base on which deposit insurance assessments are charged be revised from one based on domestic deposits to one based on assets.  The FDIC’s rule to base the assessment base on average total consolidated assets minus average tangible equity instead of domestic deposits lowered assessments for many community banks with less than $10 billion in assets and reduced the Company’s costs.

Dividend Rights:  Under the Banking Act, a bank may declare and pay dividends only if, after payment of the dividend, the capital stock of the bank will be unimpaired and either the bank will have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or the payment of the dividend will not reduce the bank's surplus.

On December 5, 2008, the Company completed a transaction with the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) through which the Treasury purchased $20.6 million in preferred stock from the Company. As part of the CPP, the Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends is limited for so long as the Treasury holds the preferred stock. As so limited the Company may not increase its quarterly cash dividend above $.05 per share, the quarterly rate in effect at the time the CPP program was announced, without the prior approval of the Treasury. 

Capital Requirements: The FDIC imposes on the Bank minimum regulatory requirements that are substantially the same as those applicable to the Company under FRB regulations discussed above.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) was enacted.  SOX is not a banking law, but applies to all public companies, including the Company.  The stated goals of SOX are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws.  SOX is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in some time.  SOX generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SOX includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and corporate governance rules and requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of specific issues by the SEC.  SOX represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems such as, the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

8

SOX addresses, among other matters:

· Audit Committees;

· certification of financial statements by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer;

· the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer’s securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve-month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement;

· a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black-out periods;

· disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions;

· a prohibition on personal loans to officers and directors, unless subject to Federal Reserve Regulation O;

· expedited filing requirements for Form 4 statements of changes of beneficial ownership of securities required to be filed by officers, directors and 10% shareholders;

· disclosure of whether or not a company has adopted a code of ethics;

· “real time” filing of periodic reports;

· auditor independence; and

· various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws.

Complying with the requirements of SOX as implemented by the SEC has increased our compliance costs and could make it more difficult to attract and retain board members.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”) became law on February 17, 2009. The main purpose of the ARRA is to provide fiscal stimulus to the U.S. economy and help foster job creation and economic activity. However, portions of the ARRA amend the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and the terms of the CPP, and impose new requirements on institutions participating in the CPP, like the Company.  Among other things, these provisions, and the regulations issued by the Treasury to implement them, require substantial new restrictions on executive compensation, prohibiting severance payments regardless of the cause of an executive’s departure and bonus payments to certain officers of institutions participating in the CPP, and require the adoption of various policies and procedures affecting compensation. The ARRA also imposes new certification requirements on management of an institution participating in the CPP, and new review requirements on the compensation committee of such an institution. These restrictions may make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain senior management.

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was signed into law on July 21, 2010.  Generally, the Dodd-Frank Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law, many of which will not become effective until various Federal regulatory agencies have promulgated rules implementing the statutory provisions.  Uncertainty remains as to the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, which could have a material adverse impact on the financial services industry by increasing compliance costs and reducing some sources of revenue. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things:

· Directs the Federal Reserve to issue rules to limit debit-card interchange fees;

· Provides for an increase in the FDIC assessment for depository institutions with assets of $10 billion or more, increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and changes  the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;

· Permanently increases the deposit insurance coverage to $250 thousand and allows depository institutions to pay interest on checking accounts;

· Established a new independent consumer financial protection bureau within the Federal Reserve, empowered to exercise broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority with respect to both new and existing consumer financial protection laws.  However, smaller financial institutions, like the Bank, are subject to the supervision and enforcement of their primary federal banking regulator with respect to the federal consumer financial protection laws.

· Provides for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance;

· Changes standards for Federal preemption of state laws related to federally chartered institutions and their subsidiaries;

· Provides mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to repay, restricting variable-rate lending by requiring the ability to repay to be determined for variable-rate loans by using the maximum rate that will apply during the first five years of a variable-rate loan term, and making more loans subject to provisions for higher cost loans, new disclosures, and certain other revisions; and

· Creates a financial stability oversight council that will recommend to the Federal Reserve increasingly strict rules for capital, leverage, liquidity, risk management and other requirements as companies grow in size and complexity.

In January 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, issued a series of final rules amending the mortgage servicing provisions of the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. These rules, which become effective on January 10, 2014, are designed to protect borrowers from risky lending practices and includes, among other things, minimum requirements for creditors in making ability-to-repay determinations, special provisions to encourage creditors to refinance non-standard mortgages into standard mortgages with fixed rates, general underwriting criteria for qualifying mortgage loans and expansion of required disclosures and notices to the borrower.

To date, the Company's operations have not been adversely impacted by those provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act which have become effective.

Item 1A.        Risk Factors:

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our securities can be materially and adversely affected by many events and conditions including the following:

We have been and may continue to be adversely affected by national financial markets and economic conditions, as well as local conditions.

Our business and results of operations are affected by the financial markets and general economic conditions in the United States, including factors such as the level and volatility of interest rates, inflation, home prices, unemployment and under-employment levels, bankruptcies, household income, consumer spending, investor confidence and the strength of the U.S. economy. The deterioration of any of these conditions can adversely affect our securities and loan portfolios, our level of charge-offs and provision for credit losses, our capital levels, liquidity and our results of operations.

In addition, we are affected by the economic conditions within our New Jersey and Pennsylvania trade areas.  Though there have been signs of improvement, economic growth in these areas has been slow to recover.  Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, we provide banking and financial services primarily to customers in the six counties in the New Jersey market and one county in Pennsylvania in which we have branches, so any decline in the economy of New Jersey or eastern Pennsylvania could have an adverse impact on us.

Our loans, the ability of borrowers to repay these loans, and the value of collateral securing these loans are impacted by economic conditions.   Our financial results, the credit quality of our existing loan portfolio, and the ability to generate new loans with acceptable yield and credit characteristics may be adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including declines in real estate values, changes in interest rates, adverse employment conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.  Although economic conditions in our primary market have fared better than other areas of the United States, we cannot assure you that these conditions will continue to prevail.  We cannot assure you that positive trends or developments discussed in this annual report will continue or that negative trends or developments will not have a significant adverse effect on us.

A  significant portion of our loan portfolio is  secured by  real estate, and events that negatively impact the real estate market could hurt our business.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 97 percent of our loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. Continued weakening of the real estate market in our primary market areas could result in an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans and a reduction in the value of the collateral securing their loans, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our profitability and asset quality. The declines in home prices in the New Jersey and Pennsylvania markets we serve also may result in increases in delinquencies and losses in our loan portfolios. This combined with a deepened economic recession and continued elevated unemployment levels could drive losses beyond that which is provided for in our allowance for loan losses. In that event, our earnings could be adversely affected.

There is a risk that the SBA will not honor their guarantee.

The Company has historically been a participant in various SBA lending programs which guarantee up to 90% of the principal on the underlying loan. There is a risk that the SBA will not honor their guarantee if a loan is not underwritten and administered to SBA guidelines. The Company follows the underwriting guidelines of the SBA, however our ability to manage this will depend on our ability to continue to attract, hire and retain skilled employees who have knowledge of the SBA program.

There is a risk that we may not be repaid in a timely manner, or at all, for loans we make.

The risk of nonpayment (or deferred or delayed payment) of loans is inherent in commercial banking.  Such nonpayment, or delayed or deferred payment of loans to the Company, if they occur, may have a material adverse effect on our earnings and overall financial condition.  Additionally, in compliance with applicable banking laws and regulations, the Company maintains an allowance for loan losses created through charges against earnings.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was $14.8 million, or 2.51 percent of our total loan portfolio and 84.49 percent of our nonperforming loans.  The Company’s marketing focus on small to medium size businesses may result in the assumption by the Company of certain lending risks that are different from or greater than those which would apply to loans made to larger companies.  We seek to minimize our credit risk exposure through credit controls, which include evaluation of potential borrowers’ available collateral, liquidity and cash flow.  However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will actually reduce loan losses.

We have a significant level of nonperforming assets, and this has, and will continue, to affect our results of operations.

At December 31, 2012, our total nonperforming assets equaled $19.3 million or 3.28 percent of total loans and OREO.  This is a significant level of nonperforming assets compared to our peer group institutions.  Our level of  nonperforming assets reflects the general economic slowdown in our marketplace and its effect on our borrowers, and our focus on SBA lending, which may entail greater credit risk than other types of lending. This deterioration in credit quality has negatively impacted our results of operations, through additional provisions for loan losses and reduced interest income, and will continue to impact our performance until these assets are resolved. In addition, future increases in our nonperforming assets will further negatively affect our results of operations. We can give you no assurance that our nonperforming assets will not increase further.   

Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses.

Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and nonperformance.  Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially and adversely affect the results of our operations.  Risks within the loan portfolio are analyzed on a continuous basis by management; and, periodically, by an independent loan review function and by the Audit Committee.  A risk system, consisting of multiple-grading categories, is utilized as an analytical tool to assess risk and the appropriate level of loss reserves.  Along with the risk system, management further evaluates risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrowers, past and expected loan loss experience and other factors management feels deserve recognition in establishing an adequate reserve.  This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.  The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control, and these losses may exceed current estimates.  State and federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and allowance for loan losses and have in the past required an increase in our allowance for loan losses.  Although we believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable and reasonably estimated losses, we cannot assure you that we will not further increase the allowance for loan losses or that our regulators will not require us to increase this allowance.  Either of these occurrences could adversely affect our earnings.

We are subject to interest rate risk and variations in interest rates may negatively affect our financial performance.

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on our interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, represents a significant portion of our earnings.  Both increases and decreases in the interest rate environment may reduce our profits.   Interest rates are subject to factors which are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, competition and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Reserve Board.  Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest Unity receives on loans and investment securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (i) Unity’s ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of Unity’s financial assets and liabilities, including the held to maturity and available for sale securities portfolios, and (iii) the average duration of Unity’s interest-earning assets. This also includes the risk that interest-earning assets may be more responsive to changes in interest rates than interest-bearing liabilities, or vice versa (repricing risk), the risk that the individual interest rates or rate indices underlying various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may not change in the same degree over a given time period (basis risk), and the risk of changing interest rate relationships across the spectrum of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability maturities (yield curve risk).

The banking business is subject to significant government regulations.

We are subject to extensive governmental supervision, regulation and control. These laws and regulations are subject to change, and may require substantial modifications to our operations or may cause us to incur substantial additional compliance costs. These laws and regulations are designed to protect depositors and the public, but not our shareholders.  In addition, future legislation and government policy could adversely affect the commercial banking industry and our operations.  Such governing laws can be anticipated to continue to be the subject of future modification.  Our management cannot predict what effect any such future modifications will have on our operations.  In addition, the primary focus of Federal and state banking regulation is the protection of depositors and not the shareholders of the regulated institutions.

For example, the recently adopted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) has resulted in substantial new compliance costs, and may restrict certain sources of revenue. The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2011.  Generally, the Act is effective the day after it was signed into law, but different effective dates apply to specific sections of the law, many of which will not become effective until various Federal regulatory agencies have promulgated rules implementing the statutory provisions.  Uncertainty remains as to the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, which could have a material adverse impact either on the financial services industry as a whole, or on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things:

· Directs the Federal Reserve to issue rules to limit debit-card interchange fees;

· Provides for an increase in the FDIC assessment for depository institutions with assets of $10 billion or more, increases in the minimum reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund from 1.15% to 1.35% and changes the basis for determining FDIC premiums from deposits to assets;

· Permanently increases the deposit insurance coverage to $250 thousand and allows depository institutions to pay interest on checking accounts; established a new independent consumer financial protection bureau within the Federal Reserve, empowered to exercise broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority with respect to both new and existing consumer financial protection laws.  However, smaller financial institutions, like the Bank, are subject to the supervision and enforcement of their primary federal banking regulator with respect to the federal consumer financial protection laws;

· Provides for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate governance;

· Changes standards for Federal preemption of state laws related to federally chartered institutions and their subsidiaries;

· Provides mortgage reform provisions regarding a customer’s ability to repay, restricting variable-rate lending by requiring the ability to repay to be determined for variable-rate loans by using the maximum rate that will apply during the first five years of a variable-rate loan term, and making more loans subject to provisions for higher cost loans, new disclosures, and certain other revisions; and

· Creates a financial stability oversight council that will recommend to the Federal Reserve increasingly strict rules for capital, leverage, liquidity, risk management and other requirements as companies grow in size and complexity.

In addition, the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, adopted Basel III in September 2010, which constitutes a strengthened set of capital requirements for banking organizations in the United States and around the world. Basel III is currently the subject of notices of proposed rulemakings released in June of 2012 by the respective U.S. federal banking agencies. The comment period for these notices of proposed rulemakings ended on October 22, 2012. Basel III is intended to be implemented beginning January 1, 2013 and to be fully-phased in on a global basis on January 1, 2019. Basel III would require capital to be held in the form of tangible common equity, generally increase the required capital ratios, phase out certain kinds of intangibles treated as capital and certain types of instruments and change the risk weightings of assets used to determine required capital ratios.  However, on November 9, 2012, the U.S. federal banking agencies announced that they do not expect that any of the proposed rules would become effective on January 1, 2013.  They did not indicate the likely new effective date.

These provisions, as well as any other aspects of current or proposed regulatory or legislative changes to laws applicable to the financial industry, may impact the profitability of our business activities and may change certain of our business practices, including the ability to offer new products, obtain financing, attract deposits, make loans, and achieve satisfactory interest spreads, and could expose us to additional costs, including increased compliance costs. These changes also may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes to operations in order to comply, and could therefore also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our management is actively reviewing the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and Basel III, many of which are to be phased-in over the next several months and years, and assessing the probable impact on our operations. However, the ultimate effect of these changes on the financial services industry in general, and us in particular, is uncertain at this time.

We are subject to changes in accounting policies or accounting standards.

Understanding Unity’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding our financial results. Some of these policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of assets or liabilities and financial results. Unity has identified its accounting policies regarding the allowance for loan losses, security valuations and impairments, goodwill and income taxes to be critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Under each of these policies, it is possible that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions, using different assumptions, or as new information becomes available.

From time to time, the FASB and the SEC change their guidance governing the form and content of Unity’s external financial statements. In addition, accounting standard setters and those who interpret U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as the FASB, SEC, banking regulators and Unity’s outside auditors, may change or even reverse their previous interpretations or positions on how these standards should be applied. Such changes are expected to continue, and may accelerate based on the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board commitments to achieving convergence between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Changes in U.S. GAAP and changes in current interpretations are beyond Unity’s control, can be hard to predict and could materially impact how Unity reports its financial results and condition. In certain cases, Unity could be required to apply a new or revised guidance retroactively or apply existing guidance differently (also retroactively) which may result in Unity restating prior period financial statements for material amounts. Additionally, significant changes to U.S. GAAP may require costly technology changes, additional training and personnel, and other expenses that will negatively impact our results of operations.

Declines in value may adversely impact the investment portfolio.

As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $89.5 million and $21.5 million in available for sale and held to maturity investment securities, respectively. We may be required to record impairment charges in earnings related to credit losses on our investment securities if they suffer a decline in value that is considered other-than-temporary. Additionally, (a) if we intend to sell a security or (b) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, we will be required to recognize an other-than-temporary impairment charge in the statement of income equal to the full amount of the decline in fair value below amortized cost. Factors, including lack of liquidity, absence of reliable pricing information, adverse actions by regulators, or unanticipated changes in the competitive environment could have a negative effect on our investment portfolio and may result in other-than-temporary impairment on our investment securities in future periods.

Liquidity risk.

Liquidity risk is the potential that Unity will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding in a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances.

Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit commitments to borrowers, mortgage and other loan originations, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of borrowings, dividends to shareholders, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

15

Liquidity is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention; principal and interest payments on loans; principal and interest payments on investment securities; sale, maturity and prepayment of investment securities; net cash provided from operations and access to other funding sources.

Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to persistent weakness, or downturn, in the economy or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not necessarily specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole.

We are in competition with many other banks, including larger commercial banks which have greater resources than us.

The banking industry within the State of New Jersey is highly competitive.  The Company’s principal market area is also served by branch offices of large commercial banks and thrift institutions.  In addition, in 1999 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act was passed into law.  The Modernization Act permits other financial entities, such as insurance companies and securities firms, to acquire or form financial institutions, thereby further increasing competition.  A number of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do to expend upon advertising and marketing, and their substantially greater capitalization enables them to make much larger loans.  Our success depends a great deal upon our judgment that large and mid-size financial institutions do not adequately serve small businesses in our principal market area and upon our ability to compete favorably for such customers.  In addition to competition from larger institutions, we also face competition for individuals and small businesses from recently formed banks seeking to compete as “hometown” institutions.  Most of these new institutions have focused their marketing efforts on the smaller end of the small business market we serve.

Future offerings of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our stock.

In the future, we may increase our capital resources, raise capital to redeem our preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program or, if our or the Bank’s capital ratios fall below the prevailing regulatory required minimums, we or the Bank could be forced to raise additional capital by making additional offerings of common stock or preferred stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing shareholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both.

We cannot predict how changes in technology will impact our business.

The financial services market, including banking services, is increasingly affected by advances in technology, including developments in:

· telecommunications;

· data processing;

· automation;

· Internet-based banking;

· Tele-banking; and

· debit cards/smart cards

Our ability to compete successfully in the future will depend on whether we can anticipate and respond to technological changes.  To develop these and other new technologies, we will likely have to make additional capital investments.  Although we continually invest in new technology, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources or access to the necessary proprietary technology to remain competitive in the future.

16

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

The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business.  Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer-relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems.  

We are further exposed to the risk that our external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as us) and to the risk that our (or our vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate. We maintain a system of comprehensive policies and a control framework designed to monitor vendor risks including, among other things, (i) changes in the vendor’s organizational structure or internal controls, (ii) changes in the vendor’s financial condition, (iii) changes in the vendor’s support for existing products and services and (iv) changes in the vendor’s strategic focus.  In addition we maintain cyber liability insurance to mitigate against any loss incurred.

While the Company has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur; or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed.  The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of the Company’s information systems could damage the Company’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Company to additional regulatory scrutiny or expose the Company to civil litigation and possible financial liability; any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Our business strategy could be adversely affected if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees and manage our expenses.

We expect to continue to experience growth in the scope of our operations and, correspondingly, in the number of our employees and customers.  We may not be able to successfully manage our business as a result of the strain on our management and operations that may result from this growth.  Our ability to manage this growth will depend upon our ability to continue to attract, hire and retain skilled employees.  Our ability to attract and retain senior management may be adversely affected by the restrictions imposed upon us under the CPP, as revised by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.  Our success will also depend on the ability of our officers and key employees to continue to implement and improve our operational and other systems, to manage multiple, concurrent customer relationships and to hire, train and manage our employees.

Hurricanes or other adverse weather events could negatively affect our local economies or disrupt our operations, which would have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

Hurricanes and other weather events can disrupt our operations, result in damage to our properties and negatively affect the local economies in which we operate.  In addition, these weather events may result in a decline in value or destruction of properties securing our loans and an increase in delinquencies, foreclosures and loan losses.

The dividend rate on our outstanding preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program will increase to 9% from 5% if it is not redeemed by December 5, 2013, substantially increasing our dividend cost and reducing earnings available to common shareholders.

Under the terms of the preferred stock we issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program, the dividend rate will increase from 5% to 9% after five (5) years. This will occur on December5, 2013, unless we redeem the outstanding preferred shares prior to December 5, 2013. In order to redeem these shares, we must, among other requirements, obtain the prior approval of our Federal regulators and of the U.S. Treasury. We can provide you no assurance that we will obtain the required approvals, or obtain them prior to December 5, 2013. We currently have $20.1 million in preferred stock outstanding and held by the Treasury. The increase in dividend rate would result in our dividend costs increasing by approximately $826 thousand per year, or 80 percent.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes relating thereto included herein.  When necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior period data for purposes of comparability with current period presentation without impacting earnings.

Overview

Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated in New Jersey and is registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the “Bank” or, when consolidated with the Parent Company, the “Company”) is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.  The Bank provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through the Internet and its fifteen branch offices located in Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey, and Northampton County in Pennsylvania.  These services include the acceptance of demand, savings, and time deposits and the extension of consumer, real estate, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and other commercial credits.

Results of Operations

Net income available to common shareholders totaled $2.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $988 thousand, or $0.13 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The increase was attributable to enhanced noninterest income, a reduced provision for loan losses and continued expense management.

Results for the current and prior year periods reflect the impact of branch restructuring related expenses.  In 2011, we closed two underperforming branches, resulting in $215 thousand of residual lease obligation and fixed asset disposal expenses.  Substantially all of these customers are now served by other branches.  In 2012, we opened two new branches in Washington Township and Somerset, New Jersey and closed our William Penn Highway, Pennsylvania branch.

Additional highlights for the current year include:

· Improved credit quality resulted in lower loan loss provisions as well as reduced loan collection expenses and costs to maintain other real estate owned (“OREO”).

· Significant increases in residential mortgage originations resulted in increased gains on the sale of mortgage loans.

· Continued deposit product mix improvement due to growth in core demand deposits and savings deposits, as higher costing time deposits declined.

· Further improvement in our capital ratios as we remain “well-capitalized”.

The Company's performance ratios for the past two years are listed in the following table:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012			2011
Net income per common share - Basic (1)	$	0.35		$	0.13
Net income per common share - Diluted (1)	$	0.34		$	0.13
Return on average assets		0.53	%		0.31	%
Return on average equity (2)		4.80	%		1.90	%
Efficiency ratio		71.06	%		71.42	%

(1) Defined as net income adjusted for dividends accrued and accretion of discount on perpetual preferred stock divided by weighted average shares outstanding.

(2) Defined as net income adjusted for dividends accrued and accretion of discount on perpetual preferred stock divided by average shareholders' equity (excluding preferred stock).

Net Interest Income

The primary source of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividends earned on earning assets and fees earned on loans, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Earning assets include loans to individuals and businesses, investment securities, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold.  Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing checking, savings and time deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings.  Net interest income is determined by the difference between the yields earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (“net interest spread”) and the relative amounts of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company’s net interest spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, deposit flows and general levels of nonperforming assets.

Tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $27.7 million in 2012, a decrease of $1.5 million or 5.3 percent compared to 2011.  Net interest margin decreased 14 basis points from 3.76 percent in 2011 to 3.62 percent in 2012.  The net interest spread was 3.39 percent, an 11 basis point decrease from 3.50 percent in 2011.

During 2012, tax-equivalent interest income was $35.4 million, a decrease of $4.3 million or 10.8 percent when compared to 2011.  This decrease was driven by the lower average yield on earning assets and a decrease in the average volume of earning assets:

· Of the $4.3 million decrease in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $3.8 million was attributed to reduced yields on average interest-earning assets and $536 thousand was attributable to the decrease in volume of average interest-earning assets.

· The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 49 basis points to 4.63 percent in 2012 due to continued re-pricing in a lower overall interest rate environment.  Yields on most earning assets, particularly those with variable rates, fell due to the continued low market rates. 

· The average volume of interest-earning assets decreased $12.5 million to $764.4 million in 2012 compared to $776.9 million in 2011.  This was due primarily to a $14.5 million decrease in average loans and a $1.2 million decrease in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in average investment securities.

Total interest expense was $7.8 million in 2012, a decrease of $2.8 million or 26.3 percent compared to 2011.  This decrease was driven by the continued low overall interest rate environment, the shift in deposit mix away from higher priced products and a decrease in the average volume of interest-bearing liabilities:

· Of the $2.8 million decrease in interest expense, $2.1 million was due to a decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities and $650 thousand was attributed to the decrease in the volume of average interest-bearing liabilities.

· The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 38 basis points to 1.24 percent, primarily due to the re-pricing of deposits in a lower interest rate environment and the expiration of high rate interest rate swap agreements in September 2011 and March 2012.  The cost of borrowed funds and subordinated debentures decreased 45 basis points to 3.60 percent in 2012 and the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 39 basis points to 0.84 percent.

· The lower cost of funding was also attributed to a shift in the mix of deposits from higher cost time deposits to lower cost savings deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits.

· Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $619.6 million in 2012, a decrease of $29.0 million or 4.5 percent, compared to 2011.  The decrease in interest-bearing liabilities was a result of a decrease in average time deposits and average savings deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits.

Our net interest income continues to be impacted by the sustained low interest rate environment, which the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve Board forecasts will continue at least through mid-2015, due to continued weak economic conditions.  This rate environment has resulted in a tighter net interest margin as our earning assets continue to re-price at lower rates.  Partially offsetting these declines are lower funding costs; however the reduction in yield on earning assets is anticipated to exceed the benefits of further declines in the cost of funds from already low levels.

The following table reflects the components of net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented herein: (1) average assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) net interest spread, and (5) net interest income/margin on average earning assets.  Rates/Yields are computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 34 percent.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses totaled $4.0 million for 2012, a decrease of $2.8 million compared to $6.8 million for 2011.  Each period’s loan loss provision is the result of management’s analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies, current economic conditions and other internal and external factors impacting the risk within the loan portfolio.  Additional information may be found under the captions “Financial Condition - Asset Quality” and “Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments.”  The current provision is considered appropriate based upon management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Noninterest Income

The following table shows the components of noninterest income for the past two years:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Branch fee income	$	1,528	$	1,445
Service and loan fee income		1,252		1,034
Gain on sale of SBA loans held for sale, net		688		962
Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net		2,274		951
BOLI income		296		295
Net security gains		573		303
Other income		727		671
Total noninterest income	$	7,338	$	5,661

Noninterest income was $7.3 million for 2012, a $1.7 million increase compared to $5.7 million for 2011.  These increases were driven by record levels of residential mortgage loan originations and sales. 

Annual Report Page 10

Changes in our noninterest income reflect:

· Branch fee income, which consists of deposit service charges and overdraft fees, increased $83 thousand from the prior year, due to increased overdraft and commercial analysis fees, partially offset by other reduced deposit account service charges.

· Service and loan fee income increased $218 thousand in 2012, due to higher late charges, servicing income, mortgage application fees and other processing fees. 

· In 2012, $6.8 million in SBA loans were sold compared to $13.3 million in the prior year.  This lower volume of loan sales resulted in a decrease of $274 thousand in net gains on SBA loan sales.

· Net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans increased $1.3 million in 2012 on a significantly higher volume of loan sales.  In 2012, $105.5 million in residential mortgage loans were sold compared to $55.8 million in 2011.

· The increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI remained relatively flat, with income of $296 thousand and $295 thousand in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

· Net gains on the sale of securities totaled $573 thousand and $303 thousand in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For additional information on securities, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

· Other income totaled $727 thousand and $671 thousand in 2012 and 2011, respectively, which includes check card related income and miscellaneous service charges.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents a breakdown of noninterest expense for the past two years:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Compensation and benefits	$	12,560	$	11,781
Occupancy		2,722		2,781
Processing and communications		2,180		2,104
Furniture and equipment		1,480		1,527
Professional services		789		817
Loan collection costs		682		979
OREO expenses		483		1,229
Deposit insurance		664		775
Advertising		839		727
Other expenses		1,898		1,798
Total noninterest expense	$	24,297	$	24,518

Noninterest expense totaled $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $221 thousand when compared to $24.5 million in 2011.  Noninterest expense in the current and prior year periods included the impact of our branch network restructuring, as well as the benefit of lower loan and OREO related expenses as credit quality improved.  In 2012, we opened two new branches and closed an underperforming branch.  In 2011, we closed two underperforming branches.

Changes in noninterest expense reflect:

· Compensation and benefits expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $779 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011.  The increase was primarily due to annual merit based and employee or position replacement costs, increased mortgage commissions, bonuses and equity compensation.

· Occupancy expense decreased $59 thousand in 2012, when compared to 2011 due to lower snow removal costs and depreciation of leasehold improvements, partially offset by higher rental expenses and building depreciation expenses.

· Processing and communications expenses increased $76 thousand in 2012 due to higher merchant services and delivery costs.

· Furniture and equipment expense decreased $47 thousand in 2012 primarily due to lower depreciation expenses on equipment and software, and software maintenance expense. 

· Professional service fees decreased $28 thousand in 2012, due to a decrease in supervisory exam expense. 

· Loan collection costs decreased $297 thousand in 2012, primarily due to lower loan legal, forced place insurance and other collection related expenses.

· OREO costs, such as losses on sales, property taxes, maintenance and legal expenses, decreased $746 thousand in 2012 when compared to 2011, as our foreclosed inventory levels declined and properties were sold at favorable prices.

· Deposit insurance expense decreased $111 thousand due to the assets-based assessment method put into place by the FDIC on April 1, 2011.

· Advertising expenses, such as promotional activities related to our new branches and in response to increased competition within our market place, combined with participation in community events and higher direct mail costs, increased $112 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

· Other expenses increased $100 thousand in 2012, due to higher retail losses.

Income Tax Expense

For 2012, the Company reported income tax expense of $2.2 million for an effective tax rate of 34.4 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $769 thousand and effective tax rate of 23.2 percent in 2011.  The 2011 provision for income taxes included the reversal of $323 thousand of a valuation reserve related to the net operating loss carry-forward deferred tax asset.  If this valuation adjustment was excluded, our effective tax rate would have been 32.9 percent in 2011.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $8.9 million or 1.1 percent, to $819.7 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $810.8 million at December 31, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to increases of $11.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.5 million in total securities, partially offset by decreases of $5.6 million in loans and $1.2 million in OREO.  Total deposits increased $4.8 million, and there were no changes to borrowed funds and subordinated debentures from prior year-end.  Total shareholders’ equity increased $4.0 million from prior year-end due primarily to net income.  Average total assets for 2012 were $804.2 million, a $13.1 million decrease from the prior year’s $817.4 million average balance.  These fluctuations are discussed in further detail in the sections that follow. 

Securities

The Company’s securities portfolio consists of available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) investments.  Management determines the appropriate security classification of available for sale or held to maturity at the time of purchase.  The investment securities portfolio is maintained for asset-liability management purposes, as well as for liquidity and earnings purposes.

AFS securities are investments carried at fair value that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or for other business purposes.  Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk, to take advantage of market conditions that create economically attractive returns and as an additional source of earnings.  AFS securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate and other securities.

AFS securities totaled $89.5 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $773 thousand or 0.9 percent, compared to $88.8 million at December 31, 2011.  This net increase was the result of:

· $39.3 million in purchases, primarily of mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, partially offset by,

· $30.7 million in principal payments, maturities and called bonds,

· $7.5 million in sales, net of realized gains, which consisted of municipal securities and mortgage-backed securities,

· $668 thousand in net amortization of premiums, and

· $311 thousand of appreciation in the market value of the portfolio.  At December 31, 2012, the portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $2.2 million compared to a net unrealized gain of $1.9 million at December 31, 2011.  These net unrealized gains are reflected net of tax in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The average balance of AFS securities amounted to $97.9 million in 2012 compared to $97.3 million in 2011.  The average yield earned on the AFS portfolio decreased 56 basis points to 2.94 percent in 2012, from 3.50 percent in 2011.  Yields on tax-exempt securities are computed on a tax-equivalent basis.  The weighted average life of AFS securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 3.5 years and 3.9 years at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

HTM securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments for which there is the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.  The portfolio is comprised of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and mortgage-backed securities.

Annual Report Page 12

HTM securities were $21.5 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $2.7 million or 14.6 percent, from year-end 2011.  This net increase was the result of:

· $7.6 million in purchases of mortgage-backed securities, municipal securities and SBA loan pools,

· $4.7 million in principal payments and called bonds, and

· $159 thousand in net amortization of premiums.

As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of HTM securities was $22.7 million and $19.9 million, respectively.  The average balance of HTM securities amounted to $17.9 million in 2012 compared to $15.3 million in 2011.  The average yield earned on HTM securities decreased 166 basis points to 3.62 percent in 2012, from 5.28 percent in 2011.  The weighted average life of HTM securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 6.5 years and 7.6 years at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Securities with a carrying value of $78.4 million and $81.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Company did not have any securities from a single issuer, excluding government agencies, that exceeded 10 percent of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Approximately 82 percent of the total investment portfolio had a fixed rate of interest at December 31, 2012, compared to 92 percent at December 31, 2011.

For additional information on securities, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans

The loan portfolio, which represents the Company’s largest asset group, is a significant source of both interest and fee income.  The portfolio consists of SBA, SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgage and consumer loans.  Each of these segments is subject to differing levels of credit and interest rate risk.

Total loans decreased $5.6 million or 0.9 percent to $587.0 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $592.6 million at year-end 2011.  Declines in SBA, SBA 504, residential mortgage and consumer loans were partially offset by an $18.5 million increase in commercial loans.

The following table sets forth the classification of loans by major category, including unearned fees, deferred costs and excluding the allowance for loan losses at December 31^st for the past five years:

	2012					2011					2010					2009					2008
(In thousands, except percentages)	Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total

Average loans decreased $14.5 million or 2.4 percent from $609.7 million in 2011, to $595.2 million in 2012.  The decrease in average loans was due to declines in all portfolio types except commercial and residential mortgage loans.  The yield on the overall loan portfolio fell 48 basis points to 5.31 percent for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 5.79 percent for the prior year.  This decrease was the result of new loan volume at lower rates and existing variable rate loan products repricing lower as rates remain low.

Annual Report Page 13

SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA historically has provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products.  These loans are made for the purposes of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate.  Generally, an SBA 7(a) loan has a deficiency in its credit profile that would not allow the borrower to qualify for a traditional commercial loan, which is why the government provides the guarantee.  The deficiency may be a higher loan to value (“LTV”) ratio, lower debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratio or weak personal financial guarantees.  In addition, many SBA 7(a) loans are for start up businesses where there is no history of financial information.  Finally, many SBA borrowers do not have an ongoing and continuous banking relationship with the Bank, but merely work with the Bank on a single transaction.  The Company’s SBA loans are generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment.  

SBA 7(a) loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or market, amounted to $6.9 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $731 thousand from December 31, 2011.  SBA 7(a) loans held to maturity amounted to $58.6 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $5.6 million from $64.2 million at December 31, 2011.  The yield on SBA loans, which are generally floating and adjust quarterly to the Prime rate, was 5.00 percent for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 5.68 percent in the prior year.

The guarantee rates on SBA 7(a) loans range from 50 percent to 90 percent, with the majority of the portfolio having a guarantee rate of 75 percent at origination.  The guarantee rates are determined by the SBA and can vary from year to year depending on government funding and the goals of the SBA program.  The carrying value of SBA loans held for sale represents the guaranteed portion to be sold into the secondary market.  The carrying value of SBA loans held to maturity represents the unguaranteed portion, which is the Company's portion of SBA loans originated, reduced by the guaranteed portion that is sold into the secondary market.  Approximately $109.9 million and $128.7 million in SBA loans were sold but serviced by the Company at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are not included on the Company’s balance sheet.  There is no relationship or correlation between the guarantee percentages and the level of charge-offs and recoveries on the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans.  Charge-offs taken on SBA 7(a) loans effect the unguaranteed portion of the loan.  SBA loans are underwritten to the same credit standards irrespective of the guarantee percentage.  

The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property.  Generally, the Company has a 50 percent LTV ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination.  At December 31, 2012, SBA 504 loans totaled $41.4 million, a decrease of $13.7 million from $55.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The yield on SBA 504 loans fell 27 basis points to 5.73 percent for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 6.00 percent in 2011, due primarily to paydowns on higher yielding SBA 504 loans.

Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s marketplace for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes.  These loans amounted to $301.6 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $18.5 million from year-end 2011.  The yield on commercial loans was 5.66 percent for 2012, compared to 6.16 percent in 2011 due to the low rate environment.

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans secured by 1 to 4 family residential properties.  These loans amounted to $132.1 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.0 million from year-end 2011.  Sales of mortgage loans totaled $105.5 million for 2012.  The yield on residential mortgages was 4.80 percent for 2012, compared to 5.32 percent for 2011.

Consumer loans consist of home equity loans and loans for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being purchased.  These loans amounted to $46.4 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.0 million from December 31, 2011.  The yield on consumer loans was 4.61 percent for 2012, compared to 4.90 percent for 2011.

There are no concentrations of loans to any borrowers or group of borrowers exceeding 10 percent of the total loan portfolio and no foreign loans in the portfolio.  As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area.  During late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area.

In the normal course of business, the Company may originate loan products whose terms could give rise to additional credit risk.  Interest-only loans, loans with high LTV ratios, construction loans with payments made from interest reserves and multiple loans supported by the same collateral (e.g. home equity loans) are examples of such products.  However, these products are not material to the Company’s financial position and are closely managed via credit controls that mitigate their additional inherent risk.  Management does not believe that these products create a concentration of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio.  The Company does not have any option adjustable rate mortgage loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both.  When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs.  If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance.  This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

At December 31, 2012, there were sixteen loans totaling $14.7 million that were classified as TDRs by the Company and are deemed impaired, compared to twenty-four loans totaling $21.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Nonperforming loans included $1.1 million of TDRs as of December 31, 2012, compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Restructured loans that are placed in nonaccrual status may be removed after six months of contractual payments and the business showing the ability to service the debt going forward.  The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms.  There are no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.  The following table presents a breakdown of performing and nonperforming TDRs by class as of December 31^st for the past two years:

	December 31, 2012						December 31, 2011

Asset Quality

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan.  A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans.  The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to strict credit administration policies and procedures.  Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower.  Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval.  The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm. 

The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors.  The current state of the economy and the downturn in the real estate market has resulted in increased loan delinquencies and defaults.  In some cases, these factors have also resulted in significant impairment to the value of loan collateral.  The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market.  In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrowers’ financial statements and tax returns.   

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned ("OREO").  Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt.  When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period income.  Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal, until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process that are expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status.

The current state of the economy impacts the Company’s level of delinquent and nonperforming loans by putting a strain on the Company’s borrowers and their ability to pay their loan obligations.  Unemployment rates continue to be at elevated levels and businesses are reluctant to hire.  Consequently, the Company’s nonperforming loans remain at an elevated level.

Nonperforming loans were $17.5 million at December 31, 2012, a $5.3 million decrease from $22.8 million at year-end 2011.  Since year-end 2011, nonperforming loans in the SBA, commercial, and residential mortgage loan segments decreased, partially offset by an increase in nonperforming loans in the SBA 504 and consumer loans segments.  Included in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2012 are approximately $1.8 million of loans guaranteed by the SBA, compared to $939 thousand at December 31, 2011.  In addition, there were $109 thousand in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2012, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.2 million from $3.0 million at year-end 2011.  During 2012, the Company took title to eighteen properties totaling $3.6 million and recorded valuation adjustments of $916 thousand on nine existing OREO properties.  The Company sold seventeen OREO properties, resulting in a net loss of $85 thousand on the sales.

The Company also monitors potential problem loans.  Potential problem loans are those loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.  These loans are not included in nonperforming loans as they continue to perform.  Potential problem loans totaled $3.5 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $2.2 million from $5.7 million at December 31, 2011.  The decrease is due to the removal of twenty-eight loans totaling $15.9 million during the year, partially offset by the addition of twenty-seven loans totaling $13.8 million.

For additional information on asset quality, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.  The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves.  Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans, which have been defined to include all nonperforming loans and TDRs.  The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for certain environmental factors such as: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, volume and loan term trends, risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes. 

Annual Report Page 17

Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, when calculating the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily due to the higher amount of charge-offs experienced during those years.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate, and high risk.  The factors are evaluated separately for each type of loan.  For example, commercial loans are broken down further into commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, etc.  Each type of loan is risk weighted for each environmental factor based on its individual characteristics. 

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable.  All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company's ability to collect on the credit.  Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.

Beginning in 2009, the Company significantly increased its loan loss provision in response to the inherent credit risk within its loan portfolio and changes to some of the environmental factors noted above.  The inherent credit risk was evidenced by an increase in delinquent and nonperforming loans, as the downturn in the economy impacted borrowers’ ability to pay and factors, such as a weakened housing market, eroded the value of underlying collateral.  In addition, net charge-offs are higher than normal, as the Company is proactively addressing these issues.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $14.8 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $16.3 million at December 31, 2011,  with resulting allowance to total loan ratios of 2.51 percent and 2.76 percent, respectively.  Net charge-offs amounted to $5.6 million for 2012, compared to $4.8 million for 2011.  The following table is a summary of the changes to the allowance for loan losses for the past five years, including net charge-offs to average loan ratios for each major loan category:

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the reserve which is maintained in other liabilities.  At December 31, 2012, an  $87 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $79 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2011.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded loan commitments, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Deposits

Deposits, which include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits, are the primary source of the Company’s funds.  The Company offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with primary focus on building and expanding relationships.  The Company continues to focus on establishing a comprehensive relationship with business borrowers, seeking deposits as well as lending relationships.

The following table shows period-end deposits and the concentration of each category of deposits for the past three years:

	2012					2011					2010
(In thousands, except percentages)	Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total			Amount		% of total
Ending balance:
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	114,424		17.6	%	$	101,193		15.7	%	$	91,272		13.9	%
Interest-bearing demand deposits		114,838		17.7			104,749		16.3			105,530		16.1
Savings deposits		294,533		45.4			278,603		43.2			277,394		42.5
Time deposits		124,965		19.3			159,426		24.8			180,592		27.5
Total deposits	$	648,760		100.0	%	$	643,971		100.0	%	$	654,788		100.0	%

Total deposits increased $4.8 million to $648.8 million at December 31, 2012, from $644.0 million at December 31, 2011.  This increase in deposits was due to increases of $15.9 million, $13.2 million and $10.1 million in savings deposits, noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $34.5 million in time deposits.  The increase in savings deposits was primarily attributed to a $16.1 million increase in municipal savings deposits.  The increases in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits were the result of continued sales initiatives and efforts by branch personnel to bring in deposit relationships.  The decline in time deposits was due to the planned run off of brokered CDs and a maturing high rate promotion offered at the end of 2008 to bolster liquidity.

The mix of deposits at December 31, 2012 was more favorable when compared to December 31, 2011, as noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased from 15.7 percent of total deposits to 17.6 percent and time deposits decreased from 24.8 percent of total deposits to 19.3 percent.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

Borrowed funds consist primarily of fixed rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York and repurchase agreements.  These borrowings are used as a source of liquidity or to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation.  Residential mortgages and investment securities collateralize the borrowings from the FHLB, while investment securities are pledged against the repurchase agreements.

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures totaled $90.5 million at both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and are broken down in the following table:

(In thousands)	December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
FHLB borrowings:
Fixed rate advances	$	30,000	$	30,000
Repurchase agreements		30,000		30,000
Other repurchase agreements		15,000		15,000
Subordinated debentures		15,465		15,465

At December 31, 2012, the Company had $64.8 million of additional credit available at the FHLB.  Pledging additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities can increase the line with the FHLB.

For additional information on borrowed funds and subordinated debentures, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Market Risk

Based on the Company’s business, the two largest risks facing the Company are market risk and credit risk.  Market risk for the Company is primarily limited to interest rate risk, which is the impact that changes in interest rates would have on future earnings.  The Company’s Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) manages this risk.  The principal objectives of RMC are to establish prudent risk management guidelines, evaluate and control the level of interest rate risk in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of appropriate risk given the business focus, operating environment, capital, and liquidity requirements, and actively manage risk within Board-approved guidelines.  The RMC reviews the maturities and repricing of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, cash flow needs, current market conditions, and interest rate levels.

The Company uses various techniques to evaluate risk levels on both a short and long-term basis.  One of the monitoring tools is the “gap” ratio.  A gap ratio, as a percentage of assets, is calculated to determine the maturity and repricing mismatch between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive liabilities.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets repricing exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities repricing in a designated time period.  A positive gap should result in higher net interest income with rising interest rates, as the amount of the assets repricing exceeds the amount of liabilities repricing.  Conversely, a gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate-sensitive assets, and lower rates should result in higher net interest income.

Repricing of mortgage-related securities are shown by contractual amortization and estimated prepayments based on the most recent 3-month constant prepayment rate.  Callable agency securities are shown based upon their option-adjusted spread modified duration date (“OAS”), rather than the next call date or maturity date.  The OAS date considers the coupon on the security, the time to the next call date, the maturity date, market volatility and current rate levels.  Fixed rate loans are allocated based on expected amortization.

Annual Report Page 20

The following table sets forth the gap ratio at December 31, 2012.  Assumptions regarding the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities are critical in determining the projected level of rate sensitivity.  Certain savings and interest checking accounts are less sensitive to market interest rate changes than other interest-bearing sources of funds.  Core deposits such as interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits are allocated based on their expected repricing in relation to changes in market interest rates.

At December 31, 2012, there was a six-month asset-sensitive gap of $12.3 million and a one-year asset-sensitive gap of $44.2 million, as compared to asset-sensitive gaps of $21.5 million and $72.7 million at December 31, 2011.  The six-month and one-year cumulative gap to total assets ratios were within the Board-approved guidelines of +/- 20 percent.

Other models are also used in conjunction with the static gap table, which is not able to capture the risk of changing spread relationships over time, the effects of projected growth in the balance sheet or dynamic decisions such as the modification of investment maturities as a rate environment unfolds.  For these reasons, a simulation model is used, where numerous interest rate scenarios and balance sheets are combined to produce a range of potential income results.  Net interest income is managed within guideline ranges for interest rates rising or falling by 200 basis points.  Results outside of guidelines require action by the RMC to correct the imbalance.  Simulations are typically created over a 12 to 24 month time horizon.  At December 31, 2012, these simulations show that with a 200 basis point rate increase over a 12 month period, net interest income would increase by approximately $1.0 million, or 3.8 percent.  A 200 basis point rate decline over a 12 month period would decrease net interest income by approximately $1.0 million or 3.9 percent.  These variances in net interest income are within the Board-approved guidelines of +/- 5 percent.

Finally, to measure the impact of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two years, the Company utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Portfolio Equity (“EVPE”) models.  The modified duration of equity measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest rates.  A longer modified duration of equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates.  Because of balance sheet optionality, an EVPE analysis is also used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash flows, with rate shocks of 200 basis points.  The economic value of equity is likely to be different as interest rates change.  Like the simulation model, results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by the RMC.  The Company’s variance in the economic value of equity with rate shocks of 200 basis points is a decline of 4.53 percent in a rising rate environment and a decline of 6.90 percent in a falling rate environment at December 31, 2012.  At December 31, 2011, the Company’s variance in the economic value of equity with rate shocks of 200 basis points is a decline of 4.18 percent in a rising rate environment and a decline of 14.40 percent in a falling rate environment.  The variance in the EVPE at December 31, 2012 and 2011 is within Board-approved guidelines of +/- 35 percent.

Financial Derivatives

In order to manage interest rate risk, the Company may enter into financial derivative contracts such as interest rate swap agreements.  At December 31, 2011, the Company was a party to one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $5.0 million.  This interest rate swap agreement expired in March 2012, and the Company did not enter into any additional financial derivative contracts in 2012.  Information pertaining to the interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 to hedge variable rate debt is summarized in the following table:

(In thousands, except percentages and years)	December 31, 2011
Notional amount	$	5,000

Liquidity

Consolidated Bank Liquidity

Liquidity measures the ability to satisfy current and future cash flow needs as they become due.  A bank’s liquidity reflects its ability to meet loan demand, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate opportunities in the marketplace.  Our liquidity is monitored by management and the Board of Directors through the RMC, which reviews historical funding requirements, current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.  Our goal is to maintain sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements in order to minimize our dependence on volatile and potentially unstable funding markets.

The principal sources of funds at the Bank are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of investment and loan principal, sales and maturities of investment securities and funds provided by operations.  While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows provides detail on the Company’s sources and uses of cash, as well as an indication of the Company’s ability to maintain an adequate level of liquidity.  At December 31, 2012, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $94.2 million, an increase of $11.6 million from December 31, 2011.  A discussion of the cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities follows.

Operating activities provided $13.3 million and $16.4 million in net cash for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The primary sources of funds were net income from operations and adjustments to net income, such as the provision for loan losses, depreciation and amortization, and proceeds from the sale of mortgage and SBA loans held for sale, partially offset by originations of SBA and mortgage loans held for sale.

Investing activities used $5.6 million in net cash in 2012, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $33.7 million in 2011.  Cash was primarily used to purchase securities and equipment and fund new loans, partially offset by cash inflows from maturities and paydowns on securities and proceeds from the sale of securities and OREO. 

· Securities.  The available for sale investment portfolio amounted to $89.4 million and $88.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Projected cash flows from securities over the next twelve months are $27.5 million.

· Loans.  The SBA loans held for sale portfolio amounted to $6.9 million and $7.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Sales of these loans provide an additional source of liquidity for the Company. 

· Outstanding Commitments.  The Company was committed to advance approximately $87.2 million to its borrowers as of December 31, 2012, compared to $79.4 million at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2012, $40.1 million of these commitments expire within one year, compared to $37.4 million at December 31, 2011.  The Company had $1.6 million in standby letters of credit at December 31, 2012, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011, which are included in the commitments amount noted above.  The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.  The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments.  Many of these commitments will expire and never be funded.

Annual Report Page 22

Financing activities provided $3.9 million in net cash for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $11.4 million for the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s deposit base and proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by dividends paid on preferred stock.

· Deposits.  As of December 31, 2012, deposits included $74.2 million of Government deposits, as compared to $54.6 million at year-end 2011.  These deposits are generally short in duration and are very sensitive to price competition.  The Company believes that the current level of these types of deposits is appropriate.  Included in the portfolio were $70.0 million of deposits from seven municipalities.  The withdrawal of these deposits, in whole or in part, would not create a liquidity shortfall for the Company.

· Borrowed Funds.  Total FHLB borrowings amounted to $60.0 million and third party repurchase agreements totaled $15.0 million as of both December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”), the Company can borrow additional funds based on the market value of collateral pledged.  At December 31, 2012, pledging provided an additional $64.8 million in borrowing potential from the FHLB.  In addition, the Company can pledge additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities to increase this line with the FHLB.  

Parent Company Liquidity

The Parent Company’s cash needs are funded by dividends collected from the Bank.  Other than its investment in the Bank and Unity Statutory Trusts II and III, the Parent Company does not actively engage in other transactions or business.  Only expenses specifically for the benefit of the Parent Company are paid using its cash, which typically includes the payment of operating expenses and cash dividends on the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury.

At December 31, 2012, the Parent Company had $11.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $105 thousand in investment securities valued at fair market value compared to $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $88 thousand in investment securities at December 31, 2011.  The increase in cash at the Parent Company was primarily due to dividends collected from the Bank.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The following table shows the amounts and expected maturities or payment periods of off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012:

	One year		One to		Three to		Over
(In thousands)	or less		three years		five years		five years		Total
Off-balance sheet arrangements:
Standby letters of credit	$	1,593	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	1,593
Contractual obligations:
Time deposits		81,086		21,262		22,426		191		124,965
Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures		-		10,000		50,000		30,465		90,465
Operating lease obligations		1,024		436		179		-		1,639
Purchase obligations		924		1,848		1,000		-		3,772

Standby letters of credit represent guarantees of payment issued by the Bank on behalf of a client that is used as "payment of last resort" should the client fail to fulfill a contractual commitment with a third party.  Standby letters of credit are typically short-term in duration, maturing in one year or less.

Time deposits have stated maturity dates.  For additional information on time deposits, see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures include fixed term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, repurchase agreements and subordinated debentures.  The borrowings have defined terms and under certain circumstances are callable at the option of the lender. For additional information on borrowed funds and subordinated debentures, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating leases represent obligations entered into by the Company for the use of land and premises.  The leases generally have escalation terms based upon certain defined indexes.  For additional information on the Company’s operating leases, see Notes 7 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Purchase obligations represent legally binding and enforceable agreements to purchase goods and services from third parties and consist primarily of contractual obligations under data processing and ATM service agreements.

Capital Adequacy

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Shareholders’ equity increased $4.0 million to $77.5 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $73.6 million at December 31, 2011, due to net income of $4.2 million, $528 thousand from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans, and $212 thousand of appreciation in the net unrealized gains on available for sale securities and cash flow hedge derivatives, partially offset by $1.0 million in dividends accrued on preferred stock.  The issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans includes nonqualified stock options and restricted stock expense related entries, employee option exercises and the tax benefit of options exercised.

For additional information on shareholders’ equity, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and other qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt and preferred stock which does not qualify as tier 1 capital.  Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require a bank to maintain certain capital as a percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-weighted assets).  A bank is required to maintain, at a minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 8 percent.  In addition, banks are required to meet a leverage capital requirement, which measures tier 1 capital against average assets.  Banks which are highly rated and not experiencing significant growth are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3 percent while all other banks are expected to maintain a leverage ratio 1 to 2 percentage points higher.  The Company is subject to similar requirements on a consolidated basis.

The following table summarizes the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios at December 31, 2012 and 2011, as well as the minimum regulatory capital ratios required for the Bank to be deemed “well-capitalized.”  The 2012 ratios for the Company and the Bank reflect a $9.0 million dividend paid by the Bank to the Parent Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements, either expressed or implied, which are provided to assist the reader in understanding anticipated future financial performance.  These statements involve certain risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions by management.

Factors that may cause actual results to differ from those results expressed or implied, include, but are not limited to those listed under “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K; the overall economy and the interest rate environment; the ability of customers to repay their obligations; the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; competition; significant changes in tax, accounting or regulatory practices and requirements; and technological changes.  Although management has taken certain steps to mitigate the negative effect of the aforementioned items, significant unfavorable changes could severely impact the assumptions used and have an adverse effect on future profitability.

Annual Report Page 24

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based upon the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.  Management believes the Company’s policies with respect to the methodology for the determination of the other-than-temporary impairment on securities, servicing assets, allowance for loan losses, cash flow hedges and income taxes involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters.  Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact results of operations.  These critical policies are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation.  This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary.  Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a forecasted period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

Management assesses its intent to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses.  For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired with no intent to sell and no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors.  The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows.  The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security.  The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security.  The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees.  The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

For additional information on other-than-temporary impairment, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Servicing Assets

Servicing assets represent the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold.  Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.  Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term.  Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.  Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

For additional information on servicing assets, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Report Page 25

Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors and reserves based on general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends.  This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expenses and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk.  Before entering into a hedging transaction, the Company formally documents the overall risk management objective and strategy, as well as the relationship between the derivative instrument and hedged item.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative instrument and hedged item have been designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship.

· For derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify as a hedging relationship, fair value changes are recognized as a gain or loss in noninterest income on the income statement. 

· For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet.  Based on the exposure being hedged, the Company must also designate the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Once a hedging relationship is established, the Company formally assesses both at inception and on an ongoing basis, if the derivative instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge accounting is discontinued when it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge; the derivative is sold, expired, terminated or exercised; or the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.  If the Company determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as a cash flow or fair value hedge and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value with changes in fair value included in current earnings.  For derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified in interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As a result, the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company had no derivative instruments at December 31, 2012, and one qualifying interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 classified as a cash flow hedge.

For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Report Page 26

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes according to the asset and liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

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

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

For additional information on income taxes, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management’s Report on Internal Control

Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on our evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has not been attested to by McGladrey LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Overview

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the “Bank” or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unity Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company incorporated in New Jersey and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.  The Bank provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through fifteen branch offices located in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey and Northampton County in Pennsylvania.  These services include the acceptance of demand, savings, and time deposits and the extension of consumer, real estate, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and other commercial credits.

Unity Bank has seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: Unity Investment Services, Inc., AJB Residential Realty Enterprises, Inc., AJB Commercial Realty, Inc., MKCD Commercial, Inc., JAH Commercial, Inc., UB Commercial LLC, and ASBC Holdings LLC.  Unity Investment Services, Inc. is used to hold and administer part of the Bank’s investment portfolio.  The other subsidiaries hold, administer and maintain the Bank’s other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.

The Company has two unconsolidated, wholly-owned statutory trust subsidiaries.  For additional information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on prior year earnings or shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

Securities

The Company classifies its securities into two categories, available for sale and held to maturity.

Securities that are classified as available for sale are stated at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are generally excluded from results of operations and are reported as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of taxes.  Securities classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks or for asset/liability management purposes.  The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on the date of sale.

Securities are classified as held to maturity based on management’s intent and ability to hold them to maturity.  Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts using the level yield method.

Annual Report Page 35

If transfers between the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios occur, they are accounted for at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are accounted for at the date of transfer.  For securities transferred to available for sale from held to maturity, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of the transfer are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  For securities transferred into the held to maturity portfolio from the available for sale portfolio, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of transfer continue to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), and are amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to its yield, consistent with amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount.

For additional information on securities, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation.  This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary.  Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity.

For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired where management has no intent to sell and the Company has no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors.  The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows.  The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.  For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security.  The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security.  The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees.  The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan.  The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio.  The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale.  When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income.  All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Annual Report Page 36

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold.  Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.  Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term.  Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.  Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

For additional information on servicing assets, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs.  In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield.  Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.  

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans).  When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings.  Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income.  Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet.  Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient.  These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors.  All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status.  Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off.  All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above. 

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans.  Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent.  If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Report Page 37

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.  

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors adjusted for general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends.  This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.   

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expenses and applied to the reserve which is classified as other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded loan commitments, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.  All other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The useful life of buildings is not to exceed 30 years; furniture and fixtures is generally 10 years or less, and equipment is 3 to 5 years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the underlying lease. 

For additional information on premises and equipment, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company purchased life insurance policies on certain members of management.  Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be realized.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula.  The stock is carried at cost. Management reviews the stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock.  The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines.  Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, of the FHLB, the length of time this situation has persisted, commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and the liquidity position of the FHLB.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is recorded at the fair value, less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition, with a charge to the allowance for loan losses for any excess of the loan carrying value over such amount.  Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by current appraisals.  Certain costs that increase the value or extend the useful life in preparing properties for sale are capitalized to the extent that the appraisal amount exceeds the carry value, and expenses of holding foreclosed properties are charged to operations as incurred.

Annual Report Page 38

Appraisals

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method and accordingly is presented as a reduction in shareholders’ equity.  The Company retired approximately 425 thousand shares of Treasury stock in 2011.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk.  Before entering into a hedging transaction, the Company formally documents the overall risk management objective and strategy, as well as the relationship between the derivative instrument and hedged item.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative instrument and hedged item have been designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship.

· For derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify as a hedging relationship, fair value changes are recognized as a gain or loss in noninterest income on the income statement. 

· For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet.  Based on the exposure being hedged, the Company must also designate the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Once a hedging relationship is established, the Company formally assesses both at inception and on an ongoing basis, if the derivative instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge accounting is discontinued when it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge; the derivative is sold, expired, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.  If the Company determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as a cash flow or fair value hedge and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value with changes in fair value included in current earnings.  For derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified in interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As a result, the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company had no derivative instruments at December 31, 2012, and one qualifying interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 classified as a cash flow hedge.

For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

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

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

For additional information on income taxes, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated as net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders is calculated as net income (loss) less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.  However, when a net loss rather than net income is recognized, diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share.

For additional information on net income per share, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires recognition of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide service for the award.  Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures, and is recognized over the vesting period of such awards.

For additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.

For additional information on the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Report Page 40

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that were reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

For additional information on other comprehensive income, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising in the period incurred.

Dividend Restrictions

Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels that may limit the dividends paid by our bank to our holding company or by our holding company to our shareholders.  In addition, the Company’s participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program places restrictions on increased dividend declarations.

Operating Segments

While management monitors the revenue streams of its various products and services, operating results and financial performance are evaluated on a company-wide basis.  The Company’s management uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions.  Accordingly, there is only one reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This ASU will require companies to disclose gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  The scope will include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The amendment is not expected to impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  This ASU allows companies to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment.  An entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350.  The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The amendment is not expected to impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

2.  Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” which includes requirements to test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis for impairment, rather than amortize them.  Management conducted an annual test and determined that the Company’s recorded goodwill totaling $1.5 million, which resulted from the 2005 acquisition of its Phillipsburg, New Jersey branch, is not impaired as of December 31, 2012.

3.  Restrictions on Cash

Federal law requires depository institutions to hold reserves in the form of vault cash or, if vault cash is insufficient, in the form of a deposit maintained with a Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).  The dollar amount of a depository institution's reserve requirement is determined by applying the reserve ratios specified in the FRB’s Regulation D to an institution's reservable liabilities.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had sufficient vault cash to meet its reserve requirements of $609 thousand and $553 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Company’s contract with its current electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) provider requires a predetermined balance be maintained in a settlement account controlled by the provider equal to the Company’s average daily net settlement position multiplied by four days.  The required balance was $179 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. This balance can be adjusted periodically to reflect actual transaction volume and seasonal factors.

Unrealized Losses

The unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above are discussed in the paragraphs that follow:

State and political subdivision securities: The unrealized losses on investments in this type of security were caused by the increase in interest rate spreads.  The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2011.  There were no losses on securities in this category at December 31, 2012.

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities:  The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads or faster prepayment speeds.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Annual Report Page 43

Corporate and other securities: Included in this category are corporate debt securities, Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investments, asset-backed securities, and trust preferred securities.  The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities were due to widening credit spreads and the unrealized losses on CRA investments were caused by decreases in the market prices of the shares.  The Company evaluated the prospects of the issuers and forecasted a recovery period; and as a result determined it did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  The unrealized losses on asset-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Sallie Mae as part of the Federal Family Education Loan ("FFEL") Program.It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  The unrealized losses on trust preferred securities were caused by an inactive trading market and changes in market credit spreads.  At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, this category consisted of one single-issuer trust preferred security.  The contractual terms do not allow the security to be settled at a price less than the par value.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Realized Gains and Losses

Gross realized gains and losses on securities for the past two years are detailed in the table below:

Held to maturity:
Realized gains		7		-
Realized losses		-		(118)
Total securities held to maturity		7		(118)
Net gains on sales of securities	$	573	$	303

The net realized gains are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net security gains.  For 2012 and 2011, gross realized gains on sales of securities amounted to $577 thousand and $484 thousand, respectively, and gross realized losses were $4 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively. 

· The net gains during 2012 are attributed to the sale of ten municipal securities with a total book value of $4.2 million and resulting net gains of $419 thousand, the sale of two mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of $2.0 million and resulting gains of $88 thousand, the sale of one corporate bond with a book value of $1.5 million for a gain of $56 thousand, and the call of one held to maturity municipal security resulting in a gain of $7 thousand.

· The gross gains during 2011 were primarily attributed to the Company selling approximately $21.2 million in book value of available for sale mortgage-backed securities.  These gains were partially offset by losses on the sale of six available for sale mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of approximately $1.4 million and four held to maturity mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of approximately $2.2 million.  Although designated as held to maturity, these securities were sold due to deterioration in the issuer’s credit worthiness, as evidenced by downgrades in their credit ratings.

Pledged Securities

Securities with a carrying value of $78.4 million and $81.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.  Included in these figures was $25.1 million and $27.7 million pledged against Government deposits at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Loans are made to individuals as well as commercial entities.  Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower.  Credit risk, excluding SBA loans, tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Bank.  As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area.  However, during late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.  A description of the Company's different loan segments follows:

SBA Loans:  SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products.  The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment.  SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes.  Loans are guaranteed by the businesses' major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

SBA 504 Loans:  The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property.  SBA 504 loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.  Generally, the Company has a 50 percent loan to value ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination.

Commercial Loans:  Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers.  Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes.  Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' major owners.  Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

ResidentialMortgage and Consumer Loans:  The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans.  Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower.

Annual Report Page 45

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan.  A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans.  The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to credit administration policies and procedures.  Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower.  Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval.  The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The Company's extension of credit is governed by the Credit Risk Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company's loans.  These policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

Credit Ratings

For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality.  A loan’s internal risk rating is updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating.  The Company uses a 1 through 10 loan grading system that follows regulatory accepted definitions.

Pass:  Risk ratings of 1 through 6 are used for loans that are performing, as they meet, and are expected to continue to meet, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation, and are generally current on principal and interest payments.  These performing loans are termed “Pass”.

Special Mention:  Criticized loans are assigned a risk rating of 7 and termed “Special Mention”, as the borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention.  If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Bank’s collateral and position.  While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable and no loss of interest or principal is anticipated.  As a result, special mention assets do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.  Included in “Special Mention” could be turnaround situations, such as borrowers with deteriorating trends beyond one year, borrowers in start up or deteriorating industries, or borrowers with a poor market share in an average industry.  "Special Mention" loans may include an element of asset quality, financial flexibility, or below average management.  Management and ownership may have limited depth or experience.  Regulatory agencies have agreed on a consistent definition of “Special Mention” as an asset with potential weaknesses which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  This definition is intended to ensure that the “Special Mention” category is not used to identify assets that have as their sole weakness credit data exceptions or collateral documentation exceptions that are not material to the repayment of the asset.

Substandard:  Classified loans are assigned a risk rating of an 8 or 9, depending upon the prospect for collection, and deemed “Substandard”.  A risk rating of 8 is used for borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt.  The loan is inadequately protected by the current paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any.  Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned.  There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified “Substandard”.  

A risk rating of 9 is used for borrowers that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan with a risk rating of 8, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined.  Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures; capital injection; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing plans.  Partial charge-offs are likely.

Loss:  Once a borrower is deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt, the risk rating becomes a 10, the loan is termed a “Loss”, and charged-off immediately.  Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless assets even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality.  Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt.  These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis, as a loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan.

Nonperforming and Past Due Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans and generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status.  The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors.  The current state of the economy and the downturn in the real estate market has resulted in increased loan delinquencies and defaults.  In some cases, these factors have also resulted in significant impairment to the value of loan collateral.  The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market.  In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrowers’ financial statements and tax returns.  The following tables set forth an aging analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Impaired Loans

The Company has defined impaired loans to be all nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings.  Management considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.

The following table presents the average recorded investments in impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time period in which the loans were impaired for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of impaired loans.  When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method, therefore no interest income is recognized.  Any interest income recognized on a cash basis during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was immaterial.  The interest recognized on impaired loans noted below represents accruing troubled debt restructurings only.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company's loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, unless it results in a delay in payment that is insignificant.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both.  When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent.  If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance.  This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

TDRs of $14.7million and $21.1 million are included in the impaired loan numbers listed above as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Specific reserves for these TDRs were $659 thousand and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  At December 31, 2012, $1.1 million of TDRs were in nonaccrual status, compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they continue to perform in accordance with their restructured terms.  There are no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.

In addition, there was one commercial real estate loan with outstanding principal of $961 thousand modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted at some point during the year ended December 31, 2012.  In this case, subsequent default is defined as 90 days past due or transferred to nonaccrual status.  There were no qualifying subsequent defaults to TDRs in 2011.

To date, the Company’s TDRs consisted of interest rate reductions, interest only periods and maturity extensions.  There has been no principal forgiveness.  The following tables show the types of modifications done during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, with the respective loan balances as of those period ends:

Other Loan Information

SBA Servicing Assets:

SBA loans sold to others and serviced by the Company are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The total amount of such loans serviced, but owned by outside investors, amounted to approximately $109.9 million and $128.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value, which approximates fair value, of servicing assets was $396 thousand and $418 thousand, respectively, and is included in Other Assets.  The fair value of servicing assets was determined using a discount rate of 15 percent, constant prepayment speeds ranging from 15 to 18, and interest strip multiples ranging from 2.08 to 3.80, depending on each individual credit.  A summary of the changes in the related servicing assets for the past two years follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Balance, beginning of year	$	418	$	512
SBA servicing assets capitalized		155		202
Amortization of expense		(177)		(296)
Provision for loss in fair value		-		-
Balance, end of year	$	396	$	418

In addition, the Company had a $487 thousand and $431 thousand discount related to the retained portion of the unsold SBA loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Officer and Director Loans:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may extend credit to officers, directors or their associates.  These loans are subject to the Company’s normal lending policy.  An analysis of such loans, all of which are current as to principal and interest payments, is as follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Balance, beginning of year	$	15,585	$	16,304
New loans		537		411
Loan repayments		(1,517)		(1,130)
Balance, end of year	$	14,605	$	15,585

Loan Portfolio Collateral:

The majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate.  Declines in the market values of real estate in the Company’s trade area impact the value of the collateral securing its loans.  This could lead to greater losses in the event of defaults on loans secured by real estate.  At December 31, 2012, approximately 97 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was secured by real estate, compared to 96 percent at December 31, 2011.

6. Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company 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.  At a minimum, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.  For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented the loans in its portfolio by loan type.  Loans are segmented into the following pools: SBA 7(a), SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgages, and consumer loans.  Certain portfolio segments are further broken down into classes based on the associated risks within those segments and the type of collateral underlying each loan.  Commercial loans are divided into the following three classes: commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and commercial other.  Residential mortgage loans are divided into the following three classes: Residential mortgages, residential construction and purchased mortgages.  Consumer loans are divided into two classes as follows:  Home equity and other.

The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves.  The same standard methodology is used, regardless of loan type.  Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (see Note 1 for additional information on this term).  The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for the following environmental factors: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, changes in the volume of restructured loans, volume and loan term trends, changes in risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, when calculating the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily due to the higher amount of charge-offs experienced during those years.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate and high risk.  Each environmental factor is evaluated separately for each class of loans and risk weighted based on its individual characteristics. 

Annual Report Page 53

· For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, the estimate of loss based on pools of loans with similar characteristics is made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis.  The loan grading system incorporates reviews of the financial performance of the borrower, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, earnings power, debt level and equity position, in conjunction with an assessment of the borrower's industry and future prospects.  It also incorporates analysis of the type of collateral and the relative loan to value ratio.

· For residential mortgage and consumer loans, the estimate of loss is based on pools of loans with similar characteristics.  Factors such as credit score, delinquency status and type of collateral are evaluated.  Factors are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in loss mitigation or credit origination strategies, and adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed. 

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable.  All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company’s ability to collect on the credit.  Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.  This charge-off policy is followed for all loan types.

The allocated allowance is the total of identified specific and general reserves by loan category.  The allocation is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio.An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

The following tables detail the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the past two years:

Changes in Methodology:

The Company did not make any changes to its allowance for loan losses methodology in the current period.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the resserve which is classified as other liabilities.  At December 31, 2012, an $87 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $79 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2011.

7.  Premises and Equipment

Net premises and equipment	$	12,062	$	11,350

Amounts charged to noninterest expense for depreciation of premises and equipment amounted to $1.1 million in both 2012 and 2011.

The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases. In addition, the Company has one lease with a related party.  The Company leases its Clinton, New Jersey headquarters from a partnership in which two Board members, Messrs. D. Dallas and R. Dallas are partners.  Under the lease for the facility, the partnership received aggregate rental payments of $427 thousand in 2012 and $416 thousand in 2011.  Rental payments reflect market rents and the lease reflects terms that are comparable to those which could have been obtained in a lease with an unaffiliated third party.  This lease has a five-year term, expiring at the end of 2013.  The annual rent is increased each year by the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the New York Metropolitan area (not to exceed 3 percent).

Due to the call provisions of this advance, the expected maturity could differ from the contractual maturity.

Subordinated Debentures

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company was a party in the following subordinated debenture transactions:

· On July 24, 2006, Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity Bancorp, Inc., issued $10.0 million of floating rate capital trust pass through securities to investors due on July 24, 2036.  The subordinated debentures are redeemable in whole or part, prior to maturity but after July 24, 2011.  The floating interest rate on the subordinated debentures is the three-month LIBOR plus 159 basis points and reprices quarterly.  The floating interest rate was 1.90 percent at December 31, 2012 and 2.16 percent at December 31, 2011.

· On December 19, 2006, Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust III, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity Bancorp, Inc., issued $5.0 million of floating rate capital trust pass through securities to investors due on December 19, 2036.  The subordinated debentures are redeemable in whole or part, prior to maturity but after December 19, 2011.  The floating interest rate on the subordinated debentures is the three-month LIBOR plus 165 basis points and reprices quarterly.  The floating interest rate was 1.96 percent at December 31, 2012 and 2.18 percent at December 31, 2011.

· In connection with the formation of the statutory business trusts, the trusts also issued $465 thousand of common equity securities to the Company, which together with the proceeds stated above were used to purchase the subordinated debentures, under the same terms and conditions.

The rates paid on subordinated debentures which are presented in the table on page 56 include the cost of related interest rate swap agreements.  These agreements provided for the Company to receive variable rate payments based on the three-month LIBOR index in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.  The interest rate swap agreements for the $5.0 million and $10.0 million subordinated debentures expired on March 1, 2012 and September 23, 2011, respectively.  For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has the ability to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures for up to five years without being in default. 

The capital securities in each of the above transactions have preference over the common securities with respect to liquidation and other distributions and qualify as Tier I capital.  Under the terms of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, these securities will continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital as the Company has less than $10 billion in assets.  In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” the Company does not consolidate the accounts and related activity of Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II and Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust III because it is not the primary beneficiary.  The additional capital from each of these transactions was used to bolster the Company’s capital ratios and for general corporate purposes, including among other things, capital contributions to Unity Bank.

Due to the redemption provisions of these securities, the expected maturity could differ from the contractual maturity.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

Facility Lease Obligations

The Company operates fifteen branches, seven branches are under operating leases, including its headquarters, and eight branches are owned.  The leases’ contractual expiration range is between the years 2013 and 2017.  The following table summarizes the contractual rent payments expected in future years:

(In thousands)	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
Operating lease rental payments	$	1,024	$	304	$	132	$	118	$	61	$	-	$	1,639

Rent expense totaled $1.2 million for 2012 and $1.0 million for 2011.  The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases.

Litigation

The Company may, in the ordinary course of business, become a party to litigation involving collection matters, contract claims and other legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its business.  In the best judgment of management, based upon consultation with counsel, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company will not be affected materially by the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent liabilities and commitments.

Commitments to Borrowers

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding loan commitments with set expiration dates.  They are intended to be disbursed, subject to certain conditions, upon the request of the borrower.  The Company was committed to advance approximately $87.2 million to its borrowers as of December 31, 2012, compared to $79.4 million at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2012, $40.1 million of these commitments expire within one year, compared to $37.4 million a year earlier.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had $1.6 million in standby letters of credit compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.  The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments.

12.  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated over the counter (“OTC”) contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange.  Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

The Company may use standalone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements, which derive their value from underlying interest rates.  These transactions involve both credit and market risk.  The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based.  Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures.  Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any.  Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the balance sheet as other assets or other liabilities.

If the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement, there is exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreement.  This exposure to credit risk is monitored through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.  The Company deals only with primary dealers.

Risk Management Policies – Hedging Instruments

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks.  On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

Annual Report Page 58

Interest Rate Risk Management – Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company has long-term variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and for other general business purposes.  These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates.  If interest rates increase, interest expense increases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases.  Management believes it may be prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, may hedge a portion of its variable-rate interest payments.  To meet this objective, management has historically entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company received variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.

The Company was not a party to any interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2012, as the remaining interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $5.0 million expired during the first quarter of 2012.  At December 31, 2011, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt was as follows:

(In thousands, except percentages and years)	December 31, 2011
Notional amount	$	5,000
Weighted average pay rate		3.94	%
Weighted average receive rate (three-month LIBOR)		0.32	%
Weighted average maturity in years		0.25
Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps	$	(43)

The interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 provided for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specific index (three-month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.

At December 31, 2011, the net unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps was recorded as a derivative liability.  Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income.  The net spread between the fixed rate of interest which is paid and the variable interest received is classified in interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings.

13.  Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $4.0 million to $77.5 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $73.6 million at December 31, 2011, due to net income of $4.2 million, $528 thousand from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans, $186 thousand appreciation in the net unrealized gains on available for sale securities, and $26 thousand appreciation in net unrealized gains on cash flow hedge derivatives, partially offset by $1.0 million in dividends accrued on preferred stock.  The issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans includes nonqualified stock options and restricted stock expense related entries, employee option exercises and the tax benefit of options exercised.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company retired approximately 425 thousand shares of Treasury Stock.  The associated $4.2 million was allocated between common stock and retained earnings.

Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provided the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets. One of the programs resulting from the EESA was the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) which provided direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions.  This program was voluntary and requires an institution to comply with several restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions, and declaration of dividends.  The perpetual preferred stock has a dividend rate of 5 percent per year until the fifth anniversary of the Treasury investment and a dividend of 9 percent thereafter.  The Company received an investment in perpetual preferred stock of $20.6 million on December 5, 2008.  These proceeds were allocated between the preferred stock and warrants based on relative fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt.”  The allocation of proceeds resulted in a discount on the preferred stock that is being accreted over five years.  The Company issued 764,778 common stock warrants to the U.S. Treasury and $2.6 million of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants.  The warrants are accounted for as equity securities and have a contractual life of ten years and an exercise price of $4.05.

As part of the CPP, the Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends is limited for so long as the Treasury holds the preferred stock.  As so limited the Company may not increase its quarterly cash dividend above $0.05 per share, the quarterly rate in effect at the time the CPP program was announced, without the prior approval of the Treasury.  The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during 2012 or 2011.  The Company is currently preserving capital and may resume paying dividends when earnings and credit quality improve.

Annual Report Page 59

Repurchase Plan

The Company has suspended its share repurchase program, as required by the CPP.  On October 21, 2002, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10 percent of its outstanding common stock.  The amount and timing of purchases is dependent upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s shares, general market conditions and competing alternate uses of funds.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had repurchased a total of 556 thousand shares, of which 131 thousand shares have been retired, leaving 153 thousand shares remaining to be repurchased under the plan when and if it is reinstated.  There were no shares repurchased during 2012 or 2011.

The Company computes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of  “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  A deferred tax liability is recognized for all temporary differences that will result in future taxable income.  A deferred tax asset is recognized for all temporary differences that will result in future tax deductions subject to reduction of the asset by a valuation allowance.

The Company had a state net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 2011.  These net operating losses were fully utilized in 2012.

Included as a component of deferred tax assets is an income tax expense (benefit) related to unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and cash flow hedges.  The after-tax component of the unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $1.3 million and $1.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, is included in other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.  In addition, other comprehensive income included $(26) thousand related to cash flow hedges at December 31, 2011.  There were no cash flow hedges at December 31, 2012.

Annual Report Page 61

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  The Company did not recognize or accrue any interest or penalties related to income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2012 or 2011, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2008 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.

17.  Net Income per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for the past two years:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2012		2011
Net income	$	4,244	$	2,546
Less: Preferred stock dividends and discount accretion		1,602		1,558
Income available to common shareholders	$	2,642	$	988
Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic		7,477		7,333
Plus: Potential dilutive common stock equivalents		317		402
Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted		7,794		7,735
Net income per common share - Basic	$	0.35	$	0.13
Net income per common share - Diluted		0.34		0.13
Stock options and common stock excluded from the income per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive		506		372

The "potential dilutive common stock equivalents" shown in the table above includes the impact of 764,778common stock warrants issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program in December 2008, utilizing the Treasury stock method.  These warrants were dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

18.  Regulatory Capital

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base.  Federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and certain qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, subject to limitations, certain qualifying long-term debt, preferred stock and hybrid instruments, which do not qualify for tier 1 capital.  The parent company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators.  Quantitative measures of capital adequacy include the leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible assets), tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (tier 1 capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets) and total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital as a percent of total risk-weighted assets).

Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require the Company and the Bank to maintain certain capital as a percentage of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-weighted assets).  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines.  However, prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.  At a minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 8 percent must be maintained.  

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require that a bank or a holding company, which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards, maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3 percent.  For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased.  Minimum leverage ratios for each institution are evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.

19.  Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank has a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all employees.  Under the Plan, an employee can contribute up to 80 percent of their salary on a tax deferred basis.  The Bank may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan.  The Bank contributed $244 thousand and $193 thousand to the Plan in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company has a deferred fee plan for Directors and executive management.  Directors of the Company have the option to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their respective retainer and Board of Director fees, and each member of executive management has the option to elect to defer 100 percent of their year-end cash bonuses.  Director and executive deferred fees totaled $42 thousand in 2012 and $16 thousand in 2011, and the interest paid on deferred balances totaled $17 thousand in 2012 and $15 thousand in 2011.

Certain members of management are also enrolled in a split-dollar life insurance plan with a post retirement death benefit of $250 thousand.  Total expenses related to this plan were $5 thousand in 2012 and $10 thousand in 2011.

Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors.  Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for 2012 and 2011 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life (in years)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		775,468	$	5.90		3.9	$	1,049,184
Options granted		127,000		6.54
Options exercised		(233,105)		3.39
Options forfeited		(2,890)		3.98
Options expired		(23,267)		9.62
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		643,206	$	6.80		5.3	$	517,867
Options granted		25,000		6.00
Options exercised		(117,240)		4.99
Options forfeited		(12,499)		6.06
Options expired		(22,135)		9.73
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		516,332	$	7.06		5.4	$	327,725
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		415,837	$	7.21		4.6	$	322,325

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.  The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant.  As of December 31, 2012, 1,720,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 516,332 option grants are outstanding, and 1,097,521 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 106,676 shares available for grant.

The fair values of the options granted during 2012 and 2011 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012			2011
Number of options granted		25,000			127,000
Weighted average exercise price	$	6.00		$	6.54
Weighted average fair value of options	$	2.33		$	3.02
Expected life in years (1)		5.07			4.59
Expected volatility (2)		43.61	%		55.69	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.77	%		0.98	%
Dividend yield (4)		-	%		-	%

(1) The expected life of the options was estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(2) The expected volatility of the Company’s stock price was based on the historical volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is the U.S Treasury rate commensurate with the expected life of the options on the date of grant.

(4) The expected dividend yield is the projected annual yield based on the grant date stock price.

Upon exercise, the Company issues shares from its authorized but unissued common stock to satisfy the options.  The following table presents information about options exercised during 2012 and 2011:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Number of options exercised		117,240		233,105
Total intrinsic value of options exercised	$	121,973	$	753,440
Cash received from options exercised		185,976		449,717
Tax deduction realized from options exercised		43,319		298,494

FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period).  Compensation expense related to stock options and the related income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are detailed in the following table:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Compensation expense	$	148,996	$	127,286
Income tax benefit		54,458		49,159

As of December 31, 2012, unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans totaled approximately $240 thousand.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9years.

20.  Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Based on the observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

· These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities Available for Sale

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company's available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio was $89.5 million.  Approximately 51 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $45.5 million at December 31, 2012.  Approximately $44.1 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. 

The fair value of AFS securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1).  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

All of the Company’s AFS securities, excluding commercial mortgage-backed securities, were classified as Level 2 assets at December 31, 2012.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information.  It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities. 

Annual Report Page 66

For certain securities, the inputs used by either dealer market participants or an independent pricing service, may be derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).  In these instances, management evaluates the appropriateness and quality of the assumptions and the resulting prices.  In addition, management reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value and this results in fair values based on Level 3 inputs.  In determining fair value, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs which reflect its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing each security.  In developing its assertion of market participant assumptions, the Company utilizes the best information that is both reasonable and available without undue cost and effort.

In calculating the fair value for AFS securities under Level 3, management prepared present value cash flow models for certain private label commercial mortgage-backed securities. The cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities incorporated the expected cash flow of each security adjusted for default rates, loss severities and prepayments of the individual loans collateralizing the security.  The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 inputs used to measure the fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2012:

December 31, 2012
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted Cash Flow	Prepayment rate	8 through 15	%	10.0	%
	Default rate	10 through 15		12.5
	Loss severity	10 through 25		18.0

Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in the table above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the securities.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

For the Level 3 available for sale private label commercial mortgage-backed securities, cash flow assumptions incorporate independent third party market participant data based on vintage year for each security.  The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities was arrived at by combining the yield on orderly transactions for similar maturity government sponsored mortgage-backed securities with (i) the historical average risk premium of similar structured private label securities, (ii) a risk premium reflecting current market conditions, including liquidity risk and (iii) if applicable, a forecasted loss premium derived from the expected cash flows of each security.  The estimated cash flows for each private label commercial mortgage-backed security are then discounted at the aforementioned effective rate to determine the fair value.  The quoted prices received from either market participants or independent pricing services are weighted with the internal price estimate to determine the fair value of each instrument.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of Level 1 markets.  These markets do, however, have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets or liabilities in order to arrive at a fair value.  The fair values of any interest swaps are measured based on the difference between the yield on the existing swaps and the yield on current swaps in the market (i.e. The Yield Book); consequently, they are classified as Level 2 instruments.

There were no changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")

The fair value was determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).  All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP").  Appraisals are certified to the Company and performed by appraisers on the Company’s approved list of appraisers.  Evaluations are completed by a person independent of Company management.  The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property.  Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”.

Annual Report Page 68

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Partially charged-off loans are measured for impairment based upon an appraisal for collateral-dependant loans.  When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal is discounted in the manner discussed above.  If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status.  The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status.  The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status when the borrower makes six months of contractual payments and demonstrates the ability to service the debt going forward.  Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

Impaired Collateral-Dependent Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”  Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance for impaired loans was $2.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from $4.4 million at December 31, 2011. 

The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the hierarchy (as described above) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the fair value gains (losses) recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option.  These estimated fair values as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.  The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.  

Annual Report Page 69

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities Held to Maturity

The fair value of held to maturity ("HTM") securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.  Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value).  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Standby Letters of Credit

At December 31, 2012, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.6 million, as compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

The table below presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not previously presented as of December 31^st for the past two years:

Premises and Equipment [Abstract]
Related Party Transaction, Description of Transaction	The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases. In addition, the Company has one lease with a related party. The Company leases its Clinton, New Jersey headquarters from a partnership in which two Board members, Messrs. D. Dallas and R. Dallas are partners. Under the lease for the facility, the partnership received aggregate rental payments of $427 thousand in 2012 and $416 thousand in 2011. Rental payments reflect market rents and the lease reflects terms that are comparable to those which could have been obtained in a lease with an unaffiliated third party. This lease has a five-year term, expiring at the end of 2013. The annual rent is increased each year by the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for the New York Metropolitan area (not to exceed 3 percent).

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract]

Regulatory Capital

18.  Regulatory Capital

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base.  Federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and certain qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, subject to limitations, certain qualifying long-term debt, preferred stock and hybrid instruments, which do not qualify for tier 1 capital.  The parent company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators.  Quantitative measures of capital adequacy include the leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible assets), tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (tier 1 capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets) and total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital as a percent of total risk-weighted assets).

Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require the Company and the Bank to maintain certain capital as a percentage of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-weighted assets).  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines.  However, prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.  At a minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 8 percent must be maintained.  

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require that a bank or a holding company, which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards, maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3 percent.  For those institutions with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased.  Minimum leverage ratios for each institution are evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.

The Company’s capital amounts and ratios for the last two years are presented in the following table.  The 2012 ratios for the Company and the Bank reflect a $9.0 million dividend paid by the Bank to the Parent Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Overview [Policy Text Block]

Overview

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the “Bank” or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unity Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company incorporated in New Jersey and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.  The Bank provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through fifteen branch offices located in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey and Northampton County in Pennsylvania.  These services include the acceptance of demand, savings, and time deposits and the extension of consumer, real estate, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and other commercial credits.

Unity Bank has seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: Unity Investment Services, Inc., AJB Residential Realty Enterprises, Inc., AJB Commercial Realty, Inc., MKCD Commercial, Inc., JAH Commercial, Inc., UB Commercial LLC, and ASBC Holdings LLC.  Unity Investment Services, Inc. is used to hold and administer part of the Bank’s investment portfolio.  The other subsidiaries hold, administer and maintain the Bank’s other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.

The Company has two unconsolidated, wholly-owned statutory trust subsidiaries.  For additional information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use Of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on prior year earnings or shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

Securities [Policy Text Block]

Securities

The Company classifies its securities into two categories, available for sale and held to maturity.

Securities that are classified as available for sale are stated at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are generally excluded from results of operations and are reported as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of taxes.  Securities classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks or for asset/liability management purposes.  The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on the date of sale.

Securities are classified as held to maturity based on management’s intent and ability to hold them to maturity.  Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts using the level yield method.

If transfers between the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios occur, they are accounted for at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are accounted for at the date of transfer.  For securities transferred to available for sale from held to maturity, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of the transfer are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  For securities transferred into the held to maturity portfolio from the available for sale portfolio, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of transfer continue to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), and are amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to its yield, consistent with amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount.

For additional information on securities, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation.  This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary.  Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity.

For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired where management has no intent to sell and the Company has no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors.  The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows.  The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.  For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security.  The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security.  The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees.  The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets [Policy Text Block]

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loan Held to Maturity and Loans Held for Sale [Policy Text Block]

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan.  The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio.  The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale.  When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income.  All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold.  Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.  Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term.  Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.  Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

For additional information on servicing assets, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs.  In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield.  Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.  

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans).  When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings.  Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income.  Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet.  Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient.  These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors.  All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status.  Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off.  All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above. 

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans.  Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent.  If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments [Policy Text Block]

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.  

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors adjusted for general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends.  This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.   

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expenses and applied to the reserve which is classified as other liabilities.

Premises and Equipment [Policy Text Block]

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.  All other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The useful life of buildings is not to exceed 30 years; furniture and fixtures is generally 10 years or less, and equipment is 3 to 5 years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the underlying lease. 

For additional information on premises and equipment, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bank Owned Life Insurance [Policy Text Block]

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company purchased life insurance policies on certain members of management.  Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be realized.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock [Policy Text Block]

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula.  The stock is carried at cost. Management reviews the stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock.  The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines.  Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, of the FHLB, the length of time this situation has persisted, commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and the liquidity position of the FHLB.

Other Real Estate Owned [Policy Text Block]

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is recorded at the fair value, less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition, with a charge to the allowance for loan losses for any excess of the loan carrying value over such amount.  Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by current appraisals.  Certain costs that increase the value or extend the useful life in preparing properties for sale are capitalized to the extent that the appraisal amount exceeds the carry value, and expenses of holding foreclosed properties are charged to operations as incurred.

Appraisals

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Treasury Stock [Policy Text Block]

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method and accordingly is presented as a reduction in shareholders’ equity.  The Company retired approximately 425 thousand shares of Treasury stock in 2011.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities [Policy Text Block]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk.  Before entering into a hedging transaction, the Company formally documents the overall risk management objective and strategy, as well as the relationship between the derivative instrument and hedged item.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative instrument and hedged item have been designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship.

· For derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify as a hedging relationship, fair value changes are recognized as a gain or loss in noninterest income on the income statement. 

· For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet.  Based on the exposure being hedged, the Company must also designate the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Once a hedging relationship is established, the Company formally assesses both at inception and on an ongoing basis, if the derivative instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge accounting is discontinued when it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge; the derivative is sold, expired, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.  If the Company determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as a cash flow or fair value hedge and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value with changes in fair value included in current earnings.  For derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified in interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As a result, the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company had no derivative instruments at December 31, 2012, and one qualifying interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 classified as a cash flow hedge.

For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

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

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

For additional information on income taxes, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Income Per Share [Policy Text Block]

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated as net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders is calculated as net income (loss) less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.  However, when a net loss rather than net income is recognized, diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share.

For additional information on net income per share, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires recognition of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide service for the award.  Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures, and is recognized over the vesting period of such awards.

For additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value [Policy Text Block]

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Based on the observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) [Policy Text Block]

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that were reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

For additional information on other comprehensive income, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Advertising [Policy Text Block]

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising in the period incurred.

Dividend Restrictions [Policy Text Block]

Dividend Restrictions

Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels that may limit the dividends paid by our bank to our holding company or by our holding company to our shareholders.  In addition, the Company’s participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program places restrictions on increased dividend declarations.

Operating Segments [Policy Text Block]

Operating Segments

While management monitors the revenue streams of its various products and services, operating results and financial performance are evaluated on a company-wide basis.  The Company’s management uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions.  Accordingly, there is only one reportable segment.

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Based on the observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value On A Recurring Basis Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities Available for Sale

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company's available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio was $89.5 million.  Approximately 51 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $45.5 million at December 31, 2012.  Approximately $44.1 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. 

The fair value of AFS securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1).  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

All of the Company’s AFS securities, excluding commercial mortgage-backed securities, were classified as Level 2 assets at December 31, 2012.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information.  It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities. 

For certain securities, the inputs used by either dealer market participants or an independent pricing service, may be derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).  In these instances, management evaluates the appropriateness and quality of the assumptions and the resulting prices.  In addition, management reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value and this results in fair values based on Level 3 inputs.  In determining fair value, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs which reflect its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing each security.  In developing its assertion of market participant assumptions, the Company utilizes the best information that is both reasonable and available without undue cost and effort.

In calculating the fair value for AFS securities under Level 3, management prepared present value cash flow models for certain private label commercial mortgage-backed securities. The cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities incorporated the expected cash flow of each security adjusted for default rates, loss severities and prepayments of the individual loans collateralizing the security.  The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 inputs used to measure the fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2012:

December 31, 2012
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted Cash Flow	Prepayment rate	8 through 15	%	10.0	%
	Default rate	10 through 15		12.5
	Loss severity	10 through 25		18.0

Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in the table above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the securities.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

For the Level 3 available for sale private label commercial mortgage-backed securities, cash flow assumptions incorporate independent third party market participant data based on vintage year for each security.  The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities was arrived at by combining the yield on orderly transactions for similar maturity government sponsored mortgage-backed securities with (i) the historical average risk premium of similar structured private label securities, (ii) a risk premium reflecting current market conditions, including liquidity risk and (iii) if applicable, a forecasted loss premium derived from the expected cash flows of each security.  The estimated cash flows for each private label commercial mortgage-backed security are then discounted at the aforementioned effective rate to determine the fair value.  The quoted prices received from either market participants or independent pricing services are weighted with the internal price estimate to determine the fair value of each instrument.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of Level 1 markets.  These markets do, however, have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets or liabilities in order to arrive at a fair value.  The fair values of any interest swaps are measured based on the difference between the yield on the existing swaps and the yield on current swaps in the market (i.e. The Yield Book); consequently, they are classified as Level 2 instruments.

Fair Value On A Nonrecurring Basis Policy [Policy Text Block]

The following table summarizes changes in Level 3 assets during 2012, consisting of newly purchased commercial mortgage-backed available for sale securities, measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  There were no Level 3 assets at December 31, 2011.

(In thousands)	For the year ended December 31, 2012
Commercial mortgage-backed securities:
Balance, beginning of year	$	-
Purchases		4,423
Total net gains included in:
Other comprehensive income		40
Balance, end of year	$	4,463

There were no gains or losses (realized or unrealized) including in earnings for assets and liabilities held at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")

The fair value was determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).  All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP").  Appraisals are certified to the Company and performed by appraisers on the Company’s approved list of appraisers.  Evaluations are completed by a person independent of Company management.  The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property.  Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”.

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Partially charged-off loans are measured for impairment based upon an appraisal for collateral-dependant loans.  When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal is discounted in the manner discussed above.  If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status.  The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status.  The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status when the borrower makes six months of contractual payments and demonstrates the ability to service the debt going forward.  Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

Impaired Collateral-Dependent Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”  Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance for impaired loans was $2.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from $4.4 million at December 31, 2011. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option.  These estimated fair values as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.  The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.  

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities Held to Maturity

The fair value of held to maturity ("HTM") securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.  Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value).  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Standby Letters of Credit

At December 31, 2012, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.6 million, as compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Overview

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the “Bank” or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Unity Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company incorporated in New Jersey and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.  The Bank provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through fifteen branch offices located in Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Union and Warren counties in New Jersey and Northampton County in Pennsylvania.  These services include the acceptance of demand, savings, and time deposits and the extension of consumer, real estate, Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and other commercial credits.

Unity Bank has seven wholly-owned subsidiaries: Unity Investment Services, Inc., AJB Residential Realty Enterprises, Inc., AJB Commercial Realty, Inc., MKCD Commercial, Inc., JAH Commercial, Inc., UB Commercial LLC, and ASBC Holdings LLC.  Unity Investment Services, Inc. is used to hold and administer part of the Bank’s investment portfolio.  The other subsidiaries hold, administer and maintain the Bank’s other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties.

The Company has two unconsolidated, wholly-owned statutory trust subsidiaries.  For additional information, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Amounts requiring the use of significant estimates include the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax and servicing assets, the carrying value of loans held for sale and other real estate owned, the valuation of securities and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment for securities and fair value disclosures.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on prior year earnings or shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

Securities

The Company classifies its securities into two categories, available for sale and held to maturity.

Securities that are classified as available for sale are stated at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are generally excluded from results of operations and are reported as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of taxes.  Securities classified as available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks or for asset/liability management purposes.  The cost of securities sold is determined on a specific identification basis. Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on the date of sale.

Securities are classified as held to maturity based on management’s intent and ability to hold them to maturity.  Such securities are stated at cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums and discounts using the level yield method.

If transfers between the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios occur, they are accounted for at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are accounted for at the date of transfer.  For securities transferred to available for sale from held to maturity, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of the transfer are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  For securities transferred into the held to maturity portfolio from the available for sale portfolio, unrealized gains or losses as of the date of transfer continue to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss), and are amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to its yield, consistent with amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount.

For additional information on securities, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially incur credit impairment that is other-than-temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation.  This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary.  Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity.

For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired where management has no intent to sell and the Company has no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors.  The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows.  The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.  For debt securities where management has the intent to sell, the amount of the impairment is reflected in earnings as realized losses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security.  The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security.  The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees.  The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Loans

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale represent the guaranteed portion of SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that historically has provided for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan.  The Company generally sells the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retains the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio.  The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale.  When sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income.  All criteria for sale accounting must be met in order for the loan sales to occur; see details under the “Transfers of Financial Assets” heading above.

Servicing assets represent the estimated fair value of retained servicing rights, net of servicing costs, at the time loans are sold.  Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues.  Impairment is evaluated based on stratifying the underlying financial assets by date of origination and term.  Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions.  Any impairment, if temporary, would be reported as a valuation allowance.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

For additional information on servicing assets, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held to Maturity

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and deferred loan origination fees and costs.  In accordance with the level yield method, loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield.  Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal balance outstanding.  

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt (nonaccrual loans).  When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period earnings.  Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income.  Loans may be returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet.  Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient.  These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors.  All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status.  Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss is charged off.  All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. Interest income on accruing TDRs is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding, as stated in the paragraphs above. 

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Company has defined impaired loans to be all TDRs and nonperforming loans.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature (consumer and residential mortgage loans), and on an individual basis for all other loans.  Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral-dependent.  If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.

For additional information on loans, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.  

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits and TDRs, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors adjusted for general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends.  This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.   

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values.  In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expenses and applied to the reserve which is classified as other liabilities.

For additional information on the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded loan commitments, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.  All other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The useful life of buildings is not to exceed 30 years; furniture and fixtures is generally 10 years or less, and equipment is 3 to 5 years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the underlying lease. 

For additional information on premises and equipment, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company purchased life insurance policies on certain members of management.  Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be realized.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula.  The stock is carried at cost. Management reviews the stock for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock.  The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines.  Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, of the FHLB, the length of time this situation has persisted, commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB and the liquidity position of the FHLB.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is recorded at the fair value, less estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition, with a charge to the allowance for loan losses for any excess of the loan carrying value over such amount.  Subsequently, other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by current appraisals.  Certain costs that increase the value or extend the useful life in preparing properties for sale are capitalized to the extent that the appraisal amount exceeds the carry value, and expenses of holding foreclosed properties are charged to operations as incurred.

Appraisals

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method and accordingly is presented as a reduction in shareholders’ equity.  The Company retired approximately 425 thousand shares of Treasury stock in 2011.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may use derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk.  Before entering into a hedging transaction, the Company formally documents the overall risk management objective and strategy, as well as the relationship between the derivative instrument and hedged item.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative instrument and hedged item have been designated and qualify as part of a hedging relationship.

· For derivative instruments that are not designated or do not qualify as a hedging relationship, fair value changes are recognized as a gain or loss in noninterest income on the income statement. 

· For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, changes in fair value are recorded as other assets or other liabilities on the balance sheet.  Based on the exposure being hedged, the Company must also designate the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Once a hedging relationship is established, the Company formally assesses both at inception and on an ongoing basis, if the derivative instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item.  Hedge accounting is discontinued when it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge; the derivative is sold, expired, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.  If the Company determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as a cash flow or fair value hedge and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value with changes in fair value included in current earnings.  For derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified in interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  As a result, the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company had no derivative instruments at December 31, 2012, and one qualifying interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 classified as a cash flow hedge.

For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

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

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

For additional information on income taxes, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated as net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Net income available (loss attributable) to common shareholders is calculated as net income (loss) less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock.

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.  However, when a net loss rather than net income is recognized, diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share.

For additional information on net income per share, see Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires recognition of compensation expense related to stock-based compensation awards over the period during which an employee is required to provide service for the award.  Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures, and is recognized over the vesting period of such awards.

For additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles.

For additional information on the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that were reported as a component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

For additional information on other comprehensive income, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising in the period incurred.

Dividend Restrictions

Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels that may limit the dividends paid by our bank to our holding company or by our holding company to our shareholders.  In addition, the Company’s participation in the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program places restrictions on increased dividend declarations.

Operating Segments

While management monitors the revenue streams of its various products and services, operating results and financial performance are evaluated on a company-wide basis.  The Company’s management uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions.  Accordingly, there is only one reportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  This ASU will require companies to disclose gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  The scope will include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  The amendment is not expected to impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.  This ASU allows companies to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment.  An entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350.  The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent.  The amendments are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The amendment is not expected to impact the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

FHLB Borrowings

FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted of three  $10.0 million advances and three  $10.0 million repurchase agreements. The terms of these transactions are as follows:

· The FHLB advance that was issued on April 27, 2005 has a fixed rate of 3.70 percent, matures on April 27, 2015 and is callable quarterly on the 27th of July, October, January and April.

· The FHLB advance that was issued on November 2, 2006 has a fixed rate of 4.03 percent, matures on November 2, 2016 and is callable quarterly on the 2nd of February, May, August and November.

· The FHLB advance that was issued on August 10, 2007 has a fixed rate of 4.23 percent, matures on August 10, 2017 and is callable quarterly on the 10th of November, February, May and August.

· The FHLB repo-advance that was issued on December 15, 2006 has a fixed rate of 4.13 percent, matures on December 15, 2016 and is callable quarterly on the 15th of March, June, September and December.

· The FHLB repo-advance that was issued on April 5, 2007 has a fixed rate of 4.21 percent, matures on April 5, 2017 and is callable quarterly on the 5th of July, October, January and April.

· The FHLB repo-advance that was issued on December 20, 2007 has a fixed rate of 3.34 percent, matures on December 20, 2017 and is callable quarterly on the 20th of March, June, September and December.

Due to the call provisions of these advances, the expected maturity could differ from the contractual maturity.

Repurchase Agreements

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company was a party to a $15.0 million repurchase agreement that was entered into in February 2008, has a term of 10 years expiring on February 28, 2018, and a rate of 3.67 percent.  The borrowing was callable by the issuer on the repurchase date of May 29, 2008 and quarterly thereafter. 

Due to the call provisions of this advance, the expected maturity could differ from the contractual maturity.

Subordinated Debentures

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company was a party in the following subordinated debenture transactions:

· On July 24, 2006, Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity Bancorp, Inc., issued $10.0 million of floating rate capital trust pass through securities to investors due on July 24, 2036.  The subordinated debentures are redeemable in whole or part, prior to maturity but after July 24, 2011.  The floating interest rate on the subordinated debentures is the three-month LIBOR plus 159 basis points and reprices quarterly.  The floating interest rate was 1.90 percent at December 31, 2012 and 2.16 percent at December 31, 2011.

· On December 19, 2006, Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust III, a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity Bancorp, Inc., issued $5.0 million of floating rate capital trust pass through securities to investors due on December 19, 2036.  The subordinated debentures are redeemable in whole or part, prior to maturity but after December 19, 2011.  The floating interest rate on the subordinated debentures is the three-month LIBOR plus 165 basis points and reprices quarterly.  The floating interest rate was 1.96 percent at December 31, 2012 and 2.18 percent at December 31, 2011.

· In connection with the formation of the statutory business trusts, the trusts also issued $465 thousand of common equity securities to the Company, which together with the proceeds stated above were used to purchase the subordinated debentures, under the same terms and conditions.

The rates paid on subordinated debentures which are presented in the table on page 56 include the cost of related interest rate swap agreements.  These agreements provided for the Company to receive variable rate payments based on the three-month LIBOR index in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.  The interest rate swap agreements for the $5.0 million and $10.0 million subordinated debentures expired on March 1, 2012 and September 23, 2011, respectively.  For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has the ability to defer interest payments on the subordinated debentures for up to five years without being in default. 

The capital securities in each of the above transactions have preference over the common securities with respect to liquidation and other distributions and qualify as Tier I capital.  Under the terms of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, these securities will continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital as the Company has less than $10 billion in assets.  In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” the Company does not consolidate the accounts and related activity of Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust II and Unity (NJ) Statutory Trust III because it is not the primary beneficiary.  The additional capital from each of these transactions was used to bolster the Company’s capital ratios and for general corporate purposes, including among other things, capital contributions to Unity Bank.

Due to the redemption provisions of these securities, the expected maturity could differ from the contractual maturity.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

Facility Lease Obligations

The Company operates fifteen branches, seven branches are under operating leases, including its headquarters, and eight branches are owned.  The leases’ contractual expiration range is between the years 2013 and 2017.  The following table summarizes the contractual rent payments expected in future years:

(In thousands)	2013		2014		2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
Operating lease rental payments	$	1,024	$	304	$	132	$	118	$	61	$	-	$	1,639

Rent expense totaled $1.2 million for 2012 and $1.0 million for 2011.  The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases.

Litigation

The Company may, in the ordinary course of business, become a party to litigation involving collection matters, contract claims and other legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its business.  In the best judgment of management, based upon consultation with counsel, the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company will not be affected materially by the final outcome of any pending legal proceedings or other contingent liabilities and commitments.

Commitments to Borrowers

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding loan commitments with set expiration dates.  They are intended to be disbursed, subject to certain conditions, upon the request of the borrower.  The Company was committed to advance approximately $87.2 million to its borrowers as of December 31, 2012, compared to $79.4 million at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2012, $40.1 million of these commitments expire within one year, compared to $37.4 million a year earlier.  At December 31, 2012, the Company had $1.6 million in standby letters of credit compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.  The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments.

Loans are made to individuals as well as commercial entities.  Specific loan terms vary as to interest rate, repayment, and collateral requirements based on the type of loan requested and the credit worthiness of the prospective borrower.  Credit risk, excluding SBA loans, tends to be geographically concentrated in that a majority of the loan customers are located in the markets serviced by the Bank.  As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area.  However, during late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors impacting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market such as geographic location and/or property type.  A description of the Company's different loan segments follows:

SBA Loans:  SBA 7(a) loans, on which the SBA has historically provided guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products.  The guaranteed portion of the Company’s SBA loans is generally sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment.  SBA loans are for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes.  Loans are guaranteed by the businesses' major owners. SBA loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

SBA 504 Loans:  The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property.  SBA 504 loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.  Generally, the Company has a 50 percent loan to value ratio on SBA 504 program loans at origination.

Commercial Loans:  Commercial credit is extended primarily to middle market and small business customers.  Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes.  Loans will generally be guaranteed in full or for a meaningful amount by the businesses' major owners.  Commercial loans are made based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the business and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided.

ResidentialMortgage and Consumer Loans:  The Company originates mortgage and consumer loans including principally residential real estate and home equity lines and loans.  Each loan type is evaluated on debt to income, type of collateral and loan to collateral value, credit history and Company relationship with the borrower.

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan.  A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans.  The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to credit administration policies and procedures.  Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower.  Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval.  The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The Company's extension of credit is governed by the Credit Risk Policy which was established to control the quality of the Company's loans.  These policies and procedures are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

Credit Ratings

For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, management uses internally assigned risk ratings as the best indicator of credit quality.  A loan’s internal risk rating is updated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant a change in risk rating.  The Company uses a 1 through 10 loan grading system that follows regulatory accepted definitions.

Pass:  Risk ratings of 1 through 6 are used for loans that are performing, as they meet, and are expected to continue to meet, all of the terms and conditions set forth in the original loan documentation, and are generally current on principal and interest payments.  These performing loans are termed “Pass”.

Special Mention:  Criticized loans are assigned a risk rating of 7 and termed “Special Mention”, as the borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention.  If not checked or corrected, these trends will weaken the Bank’s collateral and position.  While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable and no loss of interest or principal is anticipated.  As a result, special mention assets do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.  Included in “Special Mention” could be turnaround situations, such as borrowers with deteriorating trends beyond one year, borrowers in start up or deteriorating industries, or borrowers with a poor market share in an average industry.  "Special Mention" loans may include an element of asset quality, financial flexibility, or below average management.  Management and ownership may have limited depth or experience.  Regulatory agencies have agreed on a consistent definition of “Special Mention” as an asset with potential weaknesses which, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  This definition is intended to ensure that the “Special Mention” category is not used to identify assets that have as their sole weakness credit data exceptions or collateral documentation exceptions that are not material to the repayment of the asset.

Substandard:  Classified loans are assigned a risk rating of an 8 or 9, depending upon the prospect for collection, and deemed “Substandard”.  A risk rating of 8 is used for borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt.  The loan is inadequately protected by the current paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any.  Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned.  There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified “Substandard”.  

A risk rating of 9 is used for borrowers that have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan with a risk rating of 8, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined.  Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures; capital injection; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing plans.  Partial charge-offs are likely.

Loss:  Once a borrower is deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt, the risk rating becomes a 10, the loan is termed a “Loss”, and charged-off immediately.  Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless assets even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

For residential mortgage and consumer loans, management uses performing versus nonperforming as the best indicator of credit quality.  Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt.  These credit quality indicators are updated on an ongoing basis, as a loan is placed on nonaccrual status as soon as management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan.

Nonperforming and Past Due Loans

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans and generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status.  The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors.  The current state of the economy and the downturn in the real estate market has resulted in increased loan delinquencies and defaults.  In some cases, these factors have also resulted in significant impairment to the value of loan collateral.  The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market.  In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrowers’ financial statements and tax returns.  The following tables set forth an aging analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Impaired Loans

The Company has defined impaired loans to be all nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings.  Management considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is determined that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan contract.

The following tables provide detail on the Company’s impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

The following table presents the average recorded investments in impaired loans and the related amount of interest recognized during the time period in which the loans were impaired for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The average balances are calculated based on the month-end balances of impaired loans.  When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual status, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method, therefore no interest income is recognized.  Any interest income recognized on a cash basis during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was immaterial.  The interest recognized on impaired loans noted below represents accruing troubled debt restructurings only.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company's loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  TDRs occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, unless it results in a delay in payment that is insignificant.  These concessions typically include reductions in interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both.  When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates for any possible impairment using either the discounted cash flows method, where the value of the modified loan is based on the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or by using the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent.  If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or charge-off to the allowance.  This process is used, regardless of loan type, and for loans modified as TDRs that subsequently default on their modified terms.

TDRs of $14.7million and $21.1 million are included in the impaired loan numbers listed above as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Specific reserves for these TDRs were $659 thousand and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  At December 31, 2012, $1.1 million of TDRs were in nonaccrual status, compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The remaining TDRs are in accrual status since they continue to perform in accordance with their restructured terms.  There are no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans. 

The following table details loans modified during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, including the number of modifications, the recorded investment at the time of the modification and the year-to-date impact to interest income as a result of the modification.

In addition, there was one commercial real estate loan with outstanding principal of $961 thousand modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months where a concession was made and the loan subsequently defaulted at some point during the year ended December 31, 2012.  In this case, subsequent default is defined as 90 days past due or transferred to nonaccrual status.  There were no qualifying subsequent defaults to TDRs in 2011.

To date, the Company’s TDRs consisted of interest rate reductions, interest only periods and maturity extensions.  There has been no principal forgiveness.  The following tables show the types of modifications done during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, with the respective loan balances as of those period ends:

Other Loan Information

SBA Servicing Assets:

SBA loans sold to others and serviced by the Company are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The total amount of such loans serviced, but owned by outside investors, amounted to approximately $109.9 million and $128.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value, which approximates fair value, of servicing assets was $396 thousand and $418 thousand, respectively, and is included in Other Assets.  The fair value of servicing assets was determined using a discount rate of 15 percent, constant prepayment speeds ranging from 15 to 18, and interest strip multiples ranging from 2.08 to 3.80, depending on each individual credit.  A summary of the changes in the related servicing assets for the past two years follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Balance, beginning of year	$	418	$	512
SBA servicing assets capitalized		155		202
Amortization of expense		(177)		(296)
Provision for loss in fair value		-		-
Balance, end of year	$	396	$	418

In addition, the Company had a $487 thousand and $431 thousand discount related to the retained portion of the unsold SBA loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Officer and Director Loans:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may extend credit to officers, directors or their associates.  These loans are subject to the Company’s normal lending policy.  An analysis of such loans, all of which are current as to principal and interest payments, is as follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Balance, beginning of year	$	15,585	$	16,304
New loans		537		411
Loan repayments		(1,517)		(1,130)
Balance, end of year	$	14,605	$	15,585

Loan Portfolio Collateral:

The majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate.  Declines in the market values of real estate in the Company’s trade area impact the value of the collateral securing its loans.  This could lead to greater losses in the event of defaults on loans secured by real estate.  At December 31, 2012, approximately 97 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was secured by real estate, compared to 96 percent at December 31, 2011.

Unrealized Losses

The unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above are discussed in the paragraphs that follow:

State and political subdivision securities: The unrealized losses on investments in this type of security were caused by the increase in interest rate spreads.  The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investments.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2011.  There were no losses on securities in this category at December 31, 2012.

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities:  The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads or faster prepayment speeds.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.  It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Corporate and other securities: Included in this category are corporate debt securities, Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investments, asset-backed securities, and trust preferred securities.  The unrealized losses on corporate debt securities were due to widening credit spreads and the unrealized losses on CRA investments were caused by decreases in the market prices of the shares.  The Company evaluated the prospects of the issuers and forecasted a recovery period; and as a result determined it did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  The unrealized losses on asset-backed securities were caused by increases in interest rate spreads.  The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Sallie Mae as part of the Federal Family Education Loan ("FFEL") Program.It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.  The unrealized losses on trust preferred securities were caused by an inactive trading market and changes in market credit spreads.  At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, this category consisted of one single-issuer trust preferred security.  The contractual terms do not allow the security to be settled at a price less than the par value.  Because the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company did not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.

Realized Gains and Losses

Gross realized gains and losses on securities for the past two years are detailed in the table below:

Net gains on sales of securities	$	573	$	303

The net realized gains are included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net security gains.  For 2012 and 2011, gross realized gains on sales of securities amounted to $577 thousand and $484 thousand, respectively, and gross realized losses were $4 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively. 

· The net gains during 2012 are attributed to the sale of ten municipal securities with a total book value of $4.2 million and resulting net gains of $419 thousand, the sale of two mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of $2.0 million and resulting gains of $88 thousand, the sale of one corporate bond with a book value of $1.5 million for a gain of $56 thousand, and the call of one held to maturity municipal security resulting in a gain of $7 thousand.

· The gross gains during 2011 were primarily attributed to the Company selling approximately $21.2 million in book value of available for sale mortgage-backed securities.  These gains were partially offset by losses on the sale of six available for sale mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of approximately $1.4 million and four held to maturity mortgage-backed securities with a total book value of approximately $2.2 million.  Although designated as held to maturity, these securities were sold due to deterioration in the issuer’s credit worthiness, as evidenced by downgrades in their credit ratings.

Pledged Securities

Securities with a carrying value of $78.4 million and $81.1 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law.  Included in these figures was $25.1 million and $27.7 million pledged against Government deposits at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The Company computes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences of  “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  A deferred tax liability is recognized for all temporary differences that will result in future taxable income.  A deferred tax asset is recognized for all temporary differences that will result in future tax deductions subject to reduction of the asset by a valuation allowance.

The Company had a state net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1.9 million at December 31, 2011.  These net operating losses were fully utilized in 2012.

Included as a component of deferred tax assets is an income tax expense (benefit) related to unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and cash flow hedges.  The after-tax component of the unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $1.3 million and $1.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, is included in other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.  In addition, other comprehensive income included $(26) thousand related to cash flow hedges at December 31, 2011.  There were no cash flow hedges at December 31, 2012.

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes.  The Company did not recognize or accrue any interest or penalties related to income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2012 or 2011, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law.  Tax returns for all years 2008 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

12.  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated over the counter (“OTC”) contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange.  Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

The Company may use standalone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements, which derive their value from underlying interest rates.  These transactions involve both credit and market risk.  The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based.  Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures.  Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any.  Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the balance sheet as other assets or other liabilities.

If the Company enters into an interest rate swap agreement, there is exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreement.  This exposure to credit risk is monitored through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.  The Company deals only with primary dealers.

Risk Management Policies – Hedging Instruments

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks.  On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk Management – Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company has long-term variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and for other general business purposes.  These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates.  If interest rates increase, interest expense increases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases.  Management believes it may be prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, may hedge a portion of its variable-rate interest payments.  To meet this objective, management has historically entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company received variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.

The Company was not a party to any interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2012, as the remaining interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $5.0 million expired during the first quarter of 2012.  At December 31, 2011, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt was as follows:

(In thousands, except percentages and years)	December 31, 2011
Notional amount	$	5,000
Weighted average pay rate		3.94	%
Weighted average receive rate (three-month LIBOR)		0.32	%
Weighted average maturity in years		0.25
Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps	$	(43)

The interest rate swap agreement in place at December 31, 2011 provided for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specific index (three-month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.

At December 31, 2011, the net unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps was recorded as a derivative liability.  Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income.  The net spread between the fixed rate of interest which is paid and the variable interest received is classified in interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings.

The Company 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.  At a minimum, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis.  For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented the loans in its portfolio by loan type.  Loans are segmented into the following pools: SBA 7(a), SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgages, and consumer loans.  Certain portfolio segments are further broken down into classes based on the associated risks within those segments and the type of collateral underlying each loan.  Commercial loans are divided into the following three classes: commercial real estate, commercial real estate construction and commercial other.  Residential mortgage loans are divided into the following three classes: Residential mortgages, residential construction and purchased mortgages.  Consumer loans are divided into two classes as follows:  Home equity and other.

The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves.  The same standard methodology is used, regardless of loan type.  Specific reserves are made to individual impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (see Note 1 for additional information on this term).  The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for the following environmental factors: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, changes in the volume of restructured loans, volume and loan term trends, changes in risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.  Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, when calculating the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily due to the higher amount of charge-offs experienced during those years.  All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate and high risk.  Each environmental factor is evaluated separately for each class of loans and risk weighted based on its individual characteristics. 

· For SBA 7(a), SBA 504 and commercial loans, the estimate of loss based on pools of loans with similar characteristics is made through the use of a standardized loan grading system that is applied on an individual loan level and updated on a continuous basis.  The loan grading system incorporates reviews of the financial performance of the borrower, including cash flow, debt-service coverage ratio, earnings power, debt level and equity position, in conjunction with an assessment of the borrower's industry and future prospects.  It also incorporates analysis of the type of collateral and the relative loan to value ratio.

· For residential mortgage and consumer loans, the estimate of loss is based on pools of loans with similar characteristics.  Factors such as credit score, delinquency status and type of collateral are evaluated.  Factors are updated frequently to capture the recent behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios, as well as any changes in loss mitigation or credit origination strategies, and adjustments to the reserve factors are made as needed. 

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable.  All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company’s ability to collect on the credit.  Once a loss is known to exist, the charge-off approval process is immediately expedited.  This charge-off policy is followed for all loan types.

The allocated allowance is the total of identified specific and general reserves by loan category.  The allocation is not necessarily indicative of the categories in which future losses may occur.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio.An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in methodologies for estimating allocated and general reserves in the portfolio.

The following tables detail the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the past two years:

Changes in Methodology:

The Company did not make any changes to its allowance for loan losses methodology in the current period.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses.  Adjustments to the reserve are made through other expense and applied to the resserve which is classified as other liabilities.  At December 31, 2012, an $87 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability”, compared to a $79 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2011.

Amounts charged to noninterest expense for depreciation of premises and equipment amounted to $1.1 million in both 2012 and 2011.

The Company currently accounts for all of its leases as operating leases. In addition, the Company has one lease with a related party.  The Company leases its Clinton, New Jersey headquarters from a partnership in which two Board members, Messrs. D. Dallas and R. Dallas are partners.  Under the lease for the facility, the partnership received aggregate rental payments of $427 thousand in 2012 and $416 thousand in 2011.  Rental payments reflect market rents and the lease reflects terms that are comparable to those which could have been obtained in a lease with an unaffiliated third party.  This lease has a five-year term, expiring at the end of 2013.  The annual rent is increased each year by the increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the New York Metropolitan area (not to exceed 3 percent).

Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

19.  Employee Benefit Plans

The Bank has a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all employees.  Under the Plan, an employee can contribute up to 80 percent of their salary on a tax deferred basis.  The Bank may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan.  The Bank contributed $244 thousand and $193 thousand to the Plan in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company has a deferred fee plan for Directors and executive management.  Directors of the Company have the option to elect to defer up to 100 percent of their respective retainer and Board of Director fees, and each member of executive management has the option to elect to defer 100 percent of their year-end cash bonuses.  Director and executive deferred fees totaled $42 thousand in 2012 and $16 thousand in 2011, and the interest paid on deferred balances totaled $17 thousand in 2012 and $15 thousand in 2011.

Certain members of management are also enrolled in a split-dollar life insurance plan with a post retirement death benefit of $250 thousand.  Total expenses related to this plan were $5 thousand in 2012 and $10 thousand in 2011.

Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors.  Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for 2012 and 2011 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life (in years)		Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		775,468	$	5.90		3.9	$	1,049,184
Options granted		127,000		6.54
Options exercised		(233,105)		3.39
Options forfeited		(2,890)		3.98
Options expired		(23,267)		9.62
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		643,206	$	6.80		5.3	$	517,867
Options granted		25,000		6.00
Options exercised		(117,240)		4.99
Options forfeited		(12,499)		6.06
Options expired		(22,135)		9.73
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		516,332	$	7.06		5.4	$	327,725
Exercisable at December 31, 2012		415,837	$	7.21		4.6	$	322,325

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant.  The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant.  As of December 31, 2012, 1,720,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 516,332 option grants are outstanding, and 1,097,521 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 106,676 shares available for grant.

The fair values of the options granted during 2012 and 2011 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012			2011
Number of options granted		25,000			127,000
Weighted average exercise price	$	6.00		$	6.54
Weighted average fair value of options	$	2.33		$	3.02
Expected life in years (1)		5.07			4.59
Expected volatility (2)		43.61	%		55.69	%
Risk-free interest rate (3)		0.77	%		0.98	%
Dividend yield (4)		-	%		-	%

(1) The expected life of the options was estimated based on historical employee behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(2) The expected volatility of the Company’s stock price was based on the historical volatility over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options.

(3) The risk-free interest rate is the U.S Treasury rate commensurate with the expected life of the options on the date of grant.

(4) The expected dividend yield is the projected annual yield based on the grant date stock price.

Upon exercise, the Company issues shares from its authorized but unissued common stock to satisfy the options.  The following table presents information about options exercised during 2012 and 2011:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Number of options exercised		117,240		233,105
Total intrinsic value of options exercised	$	121,973	$	753,440
Cash received from options exercised		185,976		449,717
Tax deduction realized from options exercised		43,319		298,494

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012:

		Options outstanding						Options exercisable
Range of exercise prices		Options outstanding		Weighted average remaining contractual life (in years)		Weighted average exercise price		Options exercisable		Weighted average exercise price
$	0.00 - 4.00		119,750		6.4	$	3.87		119,750	$	3.87

	Total		516,332		5.4	$	7.06		415,837	$	7.21

FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period).  Compensation expense related to stock options and the related income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are detailed in the following table:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Compensation expense	$	148,996	$	127,286
Income tax benefit		54,458		49,159

As of December 31, 2012, unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s stock option plans totaled approximately $240 thousand.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock is issued under the stock bonus program to reward employees and directors and to retain them by distributing stock over a period of time.  The following table summarizes nonvested restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2012:

	Shares		Average grant date fair value
Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2011		93,684	$	6.06
Granted		29,500		6.07
Vested		(29,209)		5.90
Forfeited		(3,000)		6.15
Nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 2012		90,975	$	6.10

Restricted stock awards granted to date vest over a period of 4 years and are recognized as compensation to the recipient over the vesting period.  The awards are recorded at fair market value at the time of grant and amortized into salary expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.  As of December 31, 2012, 221,551 shares of restricted stock were reserved for issuance, of which 18,663 shares are available for grant.

Restricted stock awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Number of shares granted		29,500		68,500
Average grant date fair value	$	6.07	$	6.49

Compensation expense related to the restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is detailed in the following table:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2012		2011
Compensation expense	$	160,509	$	93,916

As of December 31, 2012, there was approximately $516 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0years.

Restrictions on Cash

3.  Restrictions on Cash

Federal law requires depository institutions to hold reserves in the form of vault cash or, if vault cash is insufficient, in the form of a deposit maintained with a Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”).  The dollar amount of a depository institution's reserve requirement is determined by applying the reserve ratios specified in the FRB’s Regulation D to an institution's reservable liabilities.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had sufficient vault cash to meet its reserve requirements of $609 thousand and $553 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the Company’s contract with its current electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) provider requires a predetermined balance be maintained in a settlement account controlled by the provider equal to the Company’s average daily net settlement position multiplied by four days.  The required balance was $179 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. This balance can be adjusted periodically to reflect actual transaction volume and seasonal factors.

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

20.  Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.  Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches.  Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.  These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs.  The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Based on the observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

· Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and sponsored entity agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

· Generally, this includes U.S. Government and sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3 Inputs

· Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

· These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Company's available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio was $89.5 million.  Approximately 51 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $45.5 million at December 31, 2012.  Approximately $44.1 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").  The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. 

The fair value of AFS securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1).  If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

All of the Company’s AFS securities, excluding commercial mortgage-backed securities, were classified as Level 2 assets at December 31, 2012.  The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information.  It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities. 

For certain securities, the inputs used by either dealer market participants or an independent pricing service, may be derived from unobservable market information (Level 3 inputs).  In these instances, management evaluates the appropriateness and quality of the assumptions and the resulting prices.  In addition, management reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.  For securities meeting these criteria, the quoted prices received from either market participants or an independent pricing service may be adjusted, as necessary, to estimate fair value and this results in fair values based on Level 3 inputs.  In determining fair value, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs which reflect its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing each security.  In developing its assertion of market participant assumptions, the Company utilizes the best information that is both reasonable and available without undue cost and effort.

In calculating the fair value for AFS securities under Level 3, management prepared present value cash flow models for certain private label commercial mortgage-backed securities. The cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities incorporated the expected cash flow of each security adjusted for default rates, loss severities and prepayments of the individual loans collateralizing the security.  The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 inputs used to measure the fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2012:

December 31, 2012
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted Cash Flow	Prepayment rate	8 through 15	%	10.0	%
	Default rate	10 through 15		12.5
	Loss severity	10 through 25		18.0

Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in the table above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement of the securities.  Generally, a change in the assumption used for the default rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

For the Level 3 available for sale private label commercial mortgage-backed securities, cash flow assumptions incorporate independent third party market participant data based on vintage year for each security.  The discount rate utilized in determining the present value of cash flows for the commercial mortgage-backed securities was arrived at by combining the yield on orderly transactions for similar maturity government sponsored mortgage-backed securities with (i) the historical average risk premium of similar structured private label securities, (ii) a risk premium reflecting current market conditions, including liquidity risk and (iii) if applicable, a forecasted loss premium derived from the expected cash flows of each security.  The estimated cash flows for each private label commercial mortgage-backed security are then discounted at the aforementioned effective rate to determine the fair value.  The quoted prices received from either market participants or independent pricing services are weighted with the internal price estimate to determine the fair value of each instrument.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of Level 1 markets.  These markets do, however, have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets or liabilities in order to arrive at a fair value.  The fair values of any interest swaps are measured based on the difference between the yield on the existing swaps and the yield on current swaps in the market (i.e. The Yield Book); consequently, they are classified as Level 2 instruments.

There were no changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.  

The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31^st for the past two years:

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")

The fair value was determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).  All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP").  Appraisals are certified to the Company and performed by appraisers on the Company’s approved list of appraisers.  Evaluations are completed by a person independent of Company management.  The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property.  Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”.

The Company requires current real estate appraisals on all loans that become OREO or in-substance foreclosure, loans that are classified substandard, doubtful or loss, or loans that are over $100,000 and nonperforming.  Prior to each balance sheet date, the Company values impaired collateral-dependent loans and OREO based upon a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, drive by appraisal, automated valuation model, updated market evaluation, or a combination of these methods.  The amount is discounted for the decline in market real estate values (for original appraisals), for any known damage or repair costs, and for selling and closing costs.  The amount of the discount is dependent upon the method used to determine the original value.  The original appraisal is generally used when a loan is first determined to be impaired.  When applying the discount, the Company takes into consideration when the appraisal was performed, the collateral’s location, the type of collateral, any known damage to the property and the type of business.  Subsequent to entering impaired status and the Company determining that there is a collateral shortfall, the Company will generally, depending on the type of collateral, order a third party appraisal, broker's price opinion, automated valuation model or updated market evaluation.  Subsequent to receiving the third party results, the Company will discount the value 6 to 10 percent for selling and closing costs.

Partially charged-off loans are measured for impairment based upon an appraisal for collateral-dependant loans.  When an updated appraisal is received for a nonperforming loan, the value on the appraisal is discounted in the manner discussed above.  If there is a deficiency in the value after the Company applies these discounts, management applies a specific reserve and the loan remains in nonaccrual status.  The receipt of an updated appraisal would not qualify as a reason to put a loan back into accruing status.  The Company removes loans from nonaccrual status when the borrower makes six months of contractual payments and demonstrates the ability to service the debt going forward.  Charge-offs are determined based upon the loss that management believes the Company will incur after evaluating collateral for impairment based upon the valuation methods described above and the ability of the borrower to pay any deficiency.

Impaired Collateral-Dependent Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.”  Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral.  The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance for impaired loans was $2.0 million, a decrease of $2.4 million from $4.4 million at December 31, 2011. 

The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the hierarchy (as described above) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the fair value gains (losses) recognized during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option.  These estimated fair values as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value.  The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above.  

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Securities Held to Maturity

The fair value of held to maturity ("HTM") securities is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is estimated by using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.  Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. carrying value).  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Standby Letters of Credit

At December 31, 2012, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.6 million, as compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2011.  The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

The table below presents the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not previously presented as of December 31^st for the past two years:

Shareholders' Equity

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity

13.  Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $4.0 million to $77.5 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $73.6 million at December 31, 2011, due to net income of $4.2 million, $528 thousand from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans, $186 thousand appreciation in the net unrealized gains on available for sale securities, and $26 thousand appreciation in net unrealized gains on cash flow hedge derivatives, partially offset by $1.0 million in dividends accrued on preferred stock.  The issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans includes nonqualified stock options and restricted stock expense related entries, employee option exercises and the tax benefit of options exercised.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company retired approximately 425 thousand shares of Treasury Stock.  The associated $4.2 million was allocated between common stock and retained earnings.

Preferred Stock

On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provided the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets. One of the programs resulting from the EESA was the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) which provided direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions.  This program was voluntary and requires an institution to comply with several restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions, and declaration of dividends.  The perpetual preferred stock has a dividend rate of 5 percent per year until the fifth anniversary of the Treasury investment and a dividend of 9 percent thereafter.  The Company received an investment in perpetual preferred stock of $20.6 million on December 5, 2008.  These proceeds were allocated between the preferred stock and warrants based on relative fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt.”  The allocation of proceeds resulted in a discount on the preferred stock that is being accreted over five years.  The Company issued 764,778 common stock warrants to the U.S. Treasury and $2.6 million of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants.  The warrants are accounted for as equity securities and have a contractual life of ten years and an exercise price of $4.05.

As part of the CPP, the Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends is limited for so long as the Treasury holds the preferred stock.  As so limited the Company may not increase its quarterly cash dividend above $0.05 per share, the quarterly rate in effect at the time the CPP program was announced, without the prior approval of the Treasury.  The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during 2012 or 2011.  The Company is currently preserving capital and may resume paying dividends when earnings and credit quality improve.

Repurchase Plan

The Company has suspended its share repurchase program, as required by the CPP.  On October 21, 2002, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10 percent of its outstanding common stock.  The amount and timing of purchases is dependent upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s shares, general market conditions and competing alternate uses of funds.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had repurchased a total of 556 thousand shares, of which 131 thousand shares have been retired, leaving 153 thousand shares remaining to be repurchased under the plan when and if it is reinstated.  There were no shares repurchased during 2012 or 2011.
