TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is the parent company of 3rd Fed Bank and its subsidiaries Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation (collectively, “3rd Fed” or the “Bank”) and Penns Trail Development Corporation. At December 31, 2012, total assets were $711.8 million and total stockholders’ equity was $82.9 million. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under existing laws, generally is not restricted in the types of business activities in which it may engage, provided that 3rd Fed retains a specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. 3rd Fed is a Pennsylvania-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Newtown, Pennsylvania, which was originally chartered in 1921 under the name “Polish American Savings Building and Loan Association.” Deposits of 3rd Fed have been federally insured since 1935 and are currently insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). 3rd Fed is a community-oriented institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities that it serves. As of December 31, 2012, 3rd Fed operated branch offices in Bucks and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania and Mercer County, New Jersey. 3rd Fed attracts deposits ($560.3 million at December 31, 2012) from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings mainly from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) ($60.7 million at December 31, 2012) and other funds, to originate loans secured by first mortgages and junior liens on owner-occupied, one-to four-family residences, and to originate loans secured by commercial real estate, including construction loans.
 
Stock Market Information
 
Since its issuance in July 1994, the Company’s common stock has been traded on the NASDAQ Global Market. The daily stock quotation for the Company is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market published in The Wall Street Journal, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and other leading newspapers under the trading symbol of “THRD.” The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of February 27, 2013, was approximately 397. This does not reflect the number of persons or entities who held stock in nominee or “street” name through various brokerage firms.
 
Dividend Policy
 
The Company has adopted a formal dividend policy. Before each dividend declaration by the Board of Directors, the Board makes the following determinations:
 
1.  
The capital of the Company is adequate for the current and projected business operations of the Company.
2.  
The liquidity of the Company after the payment of the dividend is adequate to fund the operations of the Company for a reasonable period of time into the future.
3.  
In light of the fact that the primary source of liquidity with which to pay dividends is dividend payments from the subsidiary Bank, the Board considers a number of factors specifically applicable to the Bank, such as its expected level of earnings and capital, and the possibility of regulatory restrictions. Among other limitations, 3rd Fed may not declare or pay a cash dividend on any of its stock if the effect thereof would cause 3rd Fed’s regulatory capital to be reduced below (1) the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with 3rd Fed’s conversion from mutual to stock form, or (2) the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal banking agencies.
 
The amount of the quarterly dividend is reviewed by the Board of Directors, may be increased or reduced as deemed appropriate by the Board, and may be suspended by the Board at any time and recommenced or discontinued at the discretion of the Board. In addition to quarterly cash dividends, the Board of Directors may periodically consider the payment of special cash dividends or stock dividends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
General.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is intended to assist in understanding and evaluating the major changes in the financial position and results of operations of the Company with a primary focus on an analysis of operating results.
 
The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
 
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
 
The Company’s income on a consolidated basis is derived substantially from its investment in its subsidiary 3rd Fed. The earnings of 3rd Fed depend primarily on its net interest income. Net interest income is affected by the interest income that 3rd Fed receives from its loans and investments and by the interest expense that 3rd Fed incurs on its deposits, borrowings and other sources of funds. In addition, the mix of 3rd Fed’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities can have a significant effect on 3rd Fed’s net interest income; loans generally have higher yields than securities; retail deposits generally have lower interest rates than other borrowings.
 
3rd Fed also receives income from service charges and other fees and occasionally from sales of investment securities, loan sales and real estate owned. 3rd Fed incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of provisions for loan losses, salaries and benefits, deposit insurance premiums, property operations and maintenance, advertising and other related business expenses.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Certain critical accounting policies of the Company require the use of significant judgment and accounting estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related data of the Company. These accounting estimates require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made.
 
Management believes that the most critical accounting policy requiring the use of a significant amount of accounting estimates and judgment is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Allowances are established based on an analysis of individual loans, pools of similar loans, delinquencies, loss experience, economic conditions generally and as they may affect individual borrowers, and other factors. Individual loans are evaluated based on cash flows or value of the underlying collateral, and the financial strength of any guarantors. All of these evaluation factors are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. If the financial condition and collateral values of a significant amount of debtors should deteriorate more than the Company has estimated, present allowances for loan losses may be

insufficient and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. In addition, a single loan may result in the loss of a substantial amount and may significantly reduce the allowance. The allowance for loan losses was $6.9 million at December 31, 2012.

Financial Condition and Changes in Financial Condition
 
Assets.  The Company’s total assets at December 31, 2012 were $711.8 million, an increase of $29.9 million during the year.

Loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $526.7 million, a $32.6 million or 6.6% increase from December 31, 2011. Originations of single-family residential mortgage and consumer loans totaled $117.7 million and originations of commercial loans were $14.6 million. Offsetting these increases were principal repayments of loans receivable totaling $93.6 million, $3.5 million of transfers from loans to real estate acquired through foreclosure and amortization of net deferred loan origination costs of $0.2 million. The allowance for loan losses began the year at $8.1 million, was increased by provisions of $2.4 million and reduced by net charge-offs of $3.6 million during the year and totaled $6.9 million at year end. During 2012, loans originated for sale totaled $52.9 million and proceeds from the sale of loans approximated $53.5 million. The Company sold the majority of its fixed rate, 30 year term loan originations to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and retained the loan servicing.

Investment securities decreased by $12.8 million during the year due to principal repayments received of $26.8 million, security sales of $3.8 million, security maturities of $5.8 million and net premium amortization of $0.6 million, partially offset by security purchases of $23.8 million and increases in the fair value of available for sale securities of $0.2 million.
 
Other assets decreased by $4.0 million mainly due to the sales of real estate acquired through foreclosure totaling $7.6 million offset by foreclosure actions that resulted in the acquisition of new properties totaling $3.5 million. At December 31, 2012, real estate acquired through foreclosure totaled $7.3 million.
 
Liabilities.  Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings increased by $13.7 million, the result of new borrowings of $39.2 million less scheduled amortization and maturities of $25.4 million. The increase in advances correlates to the overall increase in the loan portfolio. It is the current intent of the Company to fund a portion of its interest-bearing assets, not funded by deposits, with longer term advances from the FHLB. The Bank may also fund its day-to-day cash needs and shorter term interest-bearing assets not otherwise funded with deposits, using draws on its line of credit with the FHLB. The Bank’s line of credit at the FHLB was $60 million of which none was drawn at December 31, 2012.

Deposit balances increased by $9.0 million during 2012. Checking and savings accounts increased $19.9 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. This increase was offset by a decrease in money market accounts of $1.2 million and a decrease of $9.7 million in certificates of deposit (“CDs”) during 2012 largely caused by the maturity of CDs which were several years old, had interest rates substantially above current interest rates and were reinvested in non-CD products at the Bank. However, during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Bank ran a CD promotion which resulted in $25.0 million of new CDs and caused a temporary increase in cash and cash equivalent balances of the Bank at year end.
 
 Stockholders’ Equity.  Total consolidated stockholders’ equity increased by $5.5 million to $82.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase is largely the result of the retention of $5.4 million in net income less cash dividends paid to the Company’s common stockholders of $543,000. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased by $224,000, net of tax, due to the fair value adjustment for unrealized gains on available for sale securities, an increase, net of tax, related to the funded status of the pension plan. Equity also increased due to a $317,000 increase as a result of the allocation of 13,000 shares to participants in the Company’s employee stock ownership plan and an increase of $156,000 attributable to stock grants, stock options and director compensation.

Tax equivalent adjustments to interest on investment securities were $775,000 and $691,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. Tax equivalent interest income is based upon a marginal effective rate of 34%.
 
Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011
 
Net Income.  Net income was $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared with net income of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Total Interest Income.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, total interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased by $2.0 million to $30.0 million. Interest income from loans receivable decreased by $1.2 million due to a decrease in the average yield of 36 basis points. Offsetting the decrease was a $13.1 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding during 2012. The decrease in the average yield of loans and the increase in the average balance of loans outstanding are due to the historically low level of mortgage loan rates during the year which resulted in a high level of mortgage loan refinancing. Interest income from mortgage-backed securities was lower in 2012 because principal repayments of $26.8 million and sales of $3.8 million exceeded purchases of $16.8 million during the year resulting in a $7.3 million decrease in the average balance during 2012 as compared to 2011. In addition, the yield associated with repayments was higher than the yield on newly purchased mortgage-backed securities resulting in an 84 basis point decrease in the average yield.
 
Total Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased to $4.9 million for 2012 from $7.4 million in 2011. The average balance of deposits outstanding only decreased $4.3 million during the year; however the average interest rate paid on the deposits was 34 basis points lower resulting in a net decrease in interest expense from deposits of $1.9 million. The migration of maturing high-rate certificates of deposit into lower cost core accounts was the underlying cause of the decrease in the average cost of deposits during the year. Interest on advances from the FHLB
 
 
 
 
 
6

 
 
decreased by $0.5 million during 2012 versus 2011 as a result of a decrease in the rate paid on advances of 105 basis points as maturing advances had a higher rate than the rates on new and remaining advances.
 
Provision for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses was $6.9 million and $8.1 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $2.4 million during 2012 compared with $3.7 million the previous year. Net loan charge-offs were $3.6 million during 2012 compared to $4.0 million during 2011. The provision for loan loss reflects the Company’s analysis and review of its loan portfolio and assessment of the underlying risks associated with delinquent loans as well as loans classified for regulatory purposes. For additional analysis of the allowance refer to Note 5-Loans Receivable in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noninterest Income.  Total noninterest income was $4.1 million during 2012 compared with $3.6 million for 2011.  Gain on sale of loans increased by $826,000 as a result of the high level of residential loan sales activity which occurred throughout 2012. The disposition of a branch property to a local municipality resulted in a gain of $264,000 in 2012. Gain on the sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities during 2012 was $85,000 compared with a $760,000 net gain in 2011.  

Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense was relatively unchanged for the year, and stood at $18.9 million. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $457,000 which was the combined result of annual salary increases and the increased costs associated with the defined benefit plan which increased $346,000 between the two years. Occupancy and equipment costs decreased $177,000, which was mainly the result of a substantial reduction of costs associated with facility snow removal during 2012. Other operating expense decreased $150,000 as the 2012 supervisory examination fee was $96,000 lower due to the Bank’s conversion from a federally-chartered institution to a state-chartered savings bank at the beginning of the year.

Income Tax Expense.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.3% in 2012 compared to 20.5% for 2011. These effective tax rates are lower than the Company’s marginal tax rate of 34% largely due to the tax-exempt income associated with the Company’s investments in municipal bonds and bank owned life insurance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity.  The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank, principal and interest payments received from a loan made to the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), and tax benefits arising from the use of the Company’s tax deductions by other members of its consolidated group pursuant to a tax sharing agreement. The Company is dependent upon these sources and cash on hand which totaled approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2012 to fund its operations and pay the dividend to its shareholders. There has been no material adverse change in the ability of the Company to fund its operations during the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The Bank’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The Bank’s short-term sources of liquidity include maturity, repayment and sales of assets, excess cash and cash equivalents, new deposits, brokered deposits, other borrowings, and new borrowings from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). There has been no material adverse change during the year ended December 31, 2012 in the ability of the Bank and its subsidiaries to fund their operations.
 
The amount of certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending December 31, 2013, is approximately $114.4 million. To the extent that these deposits do not remain at the Bank upon maturity, the Bank believes that it can replace these funds with other deposits, cash and cash equivalents, and advances from the FHLB or other borrowings. It has been the Bank’s experience that substantial portions of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

At December 31, 2012, the Bank had outstanding $75.4 million in commitments to originate loans or fund unused lines of credit, letters of credit and loans sold with recourse. The loan commitments will be funded during the twelve months ending December 31, 2013. The unused lines and letters of credit can be funded at any time. At December 31, 2012, the Bank had $7.5 million in optional commitments to sell loans. The Company also has obligations under lease agreements. Payments required under such lease agreements will be approximately $470,000

during the year ending December 31, 2013. The Bank endeavors to fund its operations internally but has, when deemed prudent, borrowed funds from the FHLB. As of December 31, 2012, such borrowed funds totaled $60.7 million. The amount of these borrowings that will mature during the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 is $14.8 million. At December 31, 2012, potential sources of funds to fulfill these possible liquidity needs included: a $60.0 million line of credit, which was unused, up to approximately $130.8 million of additional collateral-based borrowing capacity at the FHLB, and $18.2 million of collateral-based borrowing capacity at the FRB.
 
Capital Resources.  Under current regulations, the Bank must have core capital equal to 4% of adjusted total assets of which 1.5% must be tangible capital, and risk-based capital equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets. On December 31, 2012, the Bank met its three regulatory capital requirements.
 
Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates, could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The consolidated financial statements and related data have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time caused by inflation. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such goods and services are affected by inflation. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Bank’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Risk Management.  The Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) for the purpose of monitoring and managing market risk, which is defined as the risk of loss of net interest income or economic value arising from changes in market interest rates and prices.
 
The type of market risk which most affects the Company’s financial instruments is interest rate risk, which is best quantified by simulating the hypothetical change in the economic value of the Bank that would occur under specific changes in interest rates. Substantially all of the Bank’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities are exposed to interest rate risk, and a large percentage of the Bank’s assets are longer term loans with the interest rate fixed for a significant period of time. Thus, the change in the economic value of the Bank’s net assets is a more meaningful measurement, rather than the volatility of net interest income, to use in measuring and monitoring the Bank’s interest rate risk. Change in economic value is measured using an internal model, wherein the net portfolio value (“NPV”) of the Bank’s current interest-sensitive assets and liabilities is measured at different hypothetical interest rate levels centered on the current term structure of interest rates. The Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk results from, among other things, the difference in maturities in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Since the Bank’s assets currently have a longer maturity than its liabilities, the Bank’s economic value could be negatively impacted during a period of rising interest rates. Alternatively, in periods of falling interest rates the Bank’s mortgage loans will repay at an increasing rate and cause the Bank to reinvest these cash flows in periods of low interest rates, also negatively affecting the Bank’s economic value. The relationship between the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities is continually monitored by management and ALCO.
 
The Bank prices and originates loans, and prices and originates its deposits, including CDs, at market interest rates. Volumes of such loans and deposits at various maturity and repricing horizons will vary according to customer preferences as influenced by the term structure of market interest rates. The Bank utilizes its available for sale investment portfolios to generate additional interest income, to manage its liquidity, and to manage its interest rate risk. These securities provide the Bank with a cash flow stream to fund asset growth or liability maturities. In addition,

if management determines that it is advisable to do so, the Bank can lengthen or shorten the average maturity of all interest-bearing assets through the selection of fixed rate or variable rate securities, respectively.
 
The Bank utilizes advances from the FHLB in managing its interest rate risk and as a tool to augment deposits in funding asset growth. The Bank typically utilizes these funding sources to better match its fixed rate interest-bearing assets with longer maturities or repricing characteristics.
 
The nature of the Bank’s current operations is such that it is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Additionally, neither the Company nor the Bank owns any trading assets. At December 31, 2012, the Bank did not have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps, caps, or floors, although these derivatives are often used by banks to manage interest rate risk.
 
The Bank has policies or procedures in place for measuring interest rate risk. These policies and procedures stipulate acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The key measurement of interest rate risk is the calculation of the sensitivity of the Bank’s economic value, or NPV which is defined as the net present value of the Bank’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. The calculated estimates of the change in NPV and the change in the ratio of NPV to the economic value of the Bank’s assets in each rate scenario (“NPV Ratio”) at December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Management believes that the assumptions utilized in evaluating the vulnerability of the Company’s net portfolio value to changes in interest rates are reasonable; however, the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and liabilities as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on NPV could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the experience on which the assumptions were based.

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). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
 
Under supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
of TF Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

TF Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a unitary savings and loan holding company, organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which conducts its consumer banking operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, 3rd Fed Bank (“3rd Fed” or the “Bank”). 3rd Fed is a Pennsylvania-chartered stock savings bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). 3rd Fed is a community-oriented savings institution and conducts operations from its main office in Newtown, Pennsylvania, eleven full-service branch offices located in Philadelphia and Bucks Counties, Pennsylvania, and two full-service branch offices located in Mercer County, New Jersey. The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market communities, including financial institutions with resources substantially greater than its own. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds actively compete for savings and time deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.
 
The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, those regulatory authorities conduct periodic examinations. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank’s business is particularly susceptible to being affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.
 
a.           Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Penns Trail Development Corporation and 3rd Fed, including 3rd Fed’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accounting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and predominant practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting policies are summarized below.
 
b.           Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, with original terms to maturity of less than three months, as cash equivalents for presentation purposes in the consolidated balance sheets and cash flows. The Company is required to maintain certain cash reserves relating to deposit liabilities. This requirement is ordinarily satisfied by cash on hand.
 
c.           Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities
 
The Company classifies its investment and mortgage-backed securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. The Company does not presently engage in security trading activities.

Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are stated at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from income and reported in other comprehensive income. See Note 16-Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments which defines the basis for determining fair value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized using the specific identification method.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
      
Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are carried at cost, net of unamortized premiums and discounts, which are recognized in interest income using the interest method.
 
On a quarterly basis, temporarily impaired securities are evaluated to determine whether such impairment is other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). This evaluation involves consideration of the length of time and the amount by which the fair value has been lower than amortized cost, the financial condition and credit rating of the issuer, the changes in fair value in relation to the change in market interest rates and other relevant information. In addition, with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by government and quasi-governmental agencies (i.e. Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) and Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”)), the Company considers the ultimate payment of principal and interest as an obligation of the United States Government and thus assured. With respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by private parties, the Company studies delinquencies, loss rates, loss severity and other information related to the underlying loans in order to form an opinion regarding the possibility of a cash flow shortfall. The Company also evaluates its intent to hold, intent to sell or need to sell the securities in light of its investment strategy, cash flow needs, interest rate risk position, prospects for the issuer and all other relevant factors.
 
d.           Loans Receivable, net
 
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are stated at unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses, and net of deferred loan origination fees and direct origination costs. Loan origination fees and costs on loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for actual prepayments.
 
The Bank provides valuation allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible loans. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by net charge-offs. On a quarterly basis, the Bank prepares an allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) analysis. In the analysis, the loan portfolio is segmented into groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics: owner and non-owner occupied commercial, multi-family real estate, construction, commercial and industrial, one-to four-family residential, and consumer which is predominately real estate secured junior liens and home equity lines of credit as well as other consumer loans. Each segment is assigned reserve factors based on quantitative and qualitative measurements. In addition, the Bank reviews its internally classified loans, its loans classified for regulatory purposes, delinquent loans, and other relevant information in order to isolate loans for further scrutiny as potentially impaired loans.

Quantitative factors include an actual expected loss factor based on historical loss experience over a relevant look-back period. Quantitative factors also include the Bank’s actual risk ratings for the commercial loan segments as determined in accordance with loan review and loan grading policies and procedures, and additional factors as determined by management to be representative of additional risk due to the loan’s geographic location, type, and other attributes. These quantitative factors are adjusted if necessary, up or down, based on actual experience and an evaluation of qualitative factors.

Qualitative factors are based upon: (1) changes in lending policies and procedures, including but not limited to changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; (2) changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments; (3) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; (4) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; (5) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans; (6) changes in the quality of the loan review system; (7) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (8) the existence and effect of any concentration of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and (9) the

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing loan portfolio.

Potentially impaired loans selected for individual evaluation are reviewed in accordance with US GAAP which governs the accounting for impaired assets and consideration of regulatory guidance regarding treatment of troubled, collateral dependent loans. Each potentially impaired loan is evaluated using all available information such as recent appraisals, whether the loan is currently on accrual or nonaccrual status, discounted cash flow analyses, guarantor financial strength, the value of additional collateral, and the loan’s and borrower’s past performance to determine whether in management’s best judgment it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal in accordance with the loan’s terms. Loans deemed impaired are generally assigned a reserve derived from the value of the underlying collateral. Loans deemed not to be impaired are assigned a reserve factor based upon the class from which they were selected.

The ALLL needed as a result of the foregoing evaluations is compared with the unadjusted amount, and an adjustment is made by means of a provision charged to expense for loan losses. Recognizing the inherently imprecise nature of the loss estimates and the large number of assumptions needed in order to perform the analysis, there may be an unallocated portion of the ALLL. Management adjusts the unallocated portion to an amount which management considers reasonable under the circumstances.

The Bank provides an allowance for accrued but uncollected interest when a loan becomes more than ninety days past due or is identified as impaired. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is no longer impaired, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.
 
e.           Loans Receivable, Held for Sale
 
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value on an individual basis. Any resulting gain or loss is included in other operating income.
 
f.           Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) if the Company grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring may include extending the maturity date of the loan, reducing the interest rate on the loan to a rate which is below market, a combination of rate adjustments and maturity extensions, or by other means including covenant modifications, forbearances or other concessions. Interest income is not accrued on loans that had been placed on nonaccrual prior to the troubled debt restructuring until they have performed in accordance with their restructured terms for a period of at least six months.  The Company evaluates the ALLL needed with respect to TDRs under the same policy and guidelines as all other loans, and TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment.

g.           Transfers of Financial Assets

The Company accounts for the transfers of financial assets using the financial–components approach. This approach recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. 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

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
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.
 
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Under the applicable accounting guidance regarding servicing assets and liabilities, servicing rights resulting from the sale of loans originated by the Company are initially measured at fair value at the date of transfer. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing rights, when available, or alternatively is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company subsequently recognizes mortgage servicing expense for each class of servicing assets using the amortization method. MSRs are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance charged to servicing fee income for an individual tranche, to the extent that fair value is less than the amortized cost for the tranche. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to other operating income. These servicing rights are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are discussed in Note 16-Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of loan servicing rights is recorded as a reduction of service fee income.
 
h.           Premises and Equipment
 
Land is carried at cost. Buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company records any impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. The Company had no impaired long-lived assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
i.           Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is carried at the fair value of the property, based on an appraisal less estimated cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance (any direct write-down) are included in foreclosed real estate expense. Included in other assets is foreclosed real estate of $7.3 million and $11.7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

j.           Goodwill
 
Goodwill does not require amortization but is subject to impairment testing. Goodwill impairment testing allows entities to first assess qualitative factors and circumstance to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. At December 31, 2012, the Company performed an assessment of key factors and determined that impairment of goodwill was not likely.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 k.           Bank Owned Life Insurance
 
The Company maintains life insurance policies on the lives of executives and officers. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. The cash surrender values of the policies were approximately $19.1 million and $18.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
l.           Benefit Plans
 
The Company has established an ESOP covering eligible employees with six months of service, as defined by the ESOP. The Company records compensation expense in the amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released from the ESOP to employees less dividends received on the allocated shares applied to the required debt service of the plan.
 
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees meeting certain requirements. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognizes changes in that funded status, including the gains and or losses and prior service costs or credits that were not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company measures the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
m.           Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company has stock benefit plans that allow the Company to grant options and stock to employees and directors and which are more fully discussed in Note 10-Benefit Plans. The options, which have a term of up to 10 years when issued, vest over a three to five year period. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The Company measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period which is usually the vesting period. There were no options granted in 2012 or 2011.
 
n.           Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes due to change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
  
o.           Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses marketing and advertising costs as incurred.
 
p.           Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 q.           Segment Reporting
 
The Company has one reportable segment, “Community Banking.” All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent and assessed based on how each of the activities of the Company supports the others. For example, commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to fund itself with retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also similar for consumer and residential mortgage lending. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one operating segment or unit.

r.           Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 16-Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
 
NOTE 2 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting update, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”. The update give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. If, under the quantitative impairment test, the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance. The update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued an accounting update, “ Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution”. The update requires that when a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset (in accordance with Subtopic 805-20) as a result of a government assisted acquisition of a financial institution and subsequently a change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the contractual term of the indemnification agreement (that is, the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets). The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to any new indemnification assets acquired after the date of adoption and to indemnification assets existing as of the date of adoption arising from a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting update, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendment clarifies that the scope of Update 2011-11 as it applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and

securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting update, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this update require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under US GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under US GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under US GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that these disclosures will have on its financial statements.

The Company also holds stock in the FHLB totaling $5.4 million and $7.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company is required to maintain a minimum amount of FHLB stock as determined by its borrowing levels and amount of eligible assets. At December 31, 2012 the Company was required to hold $4.1 million in FHLB stock. FHLB stock can only be repurchased by the FHLB or sold to another member, and all sales must be at par. The Company holds FHLB stock as a long term investment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company evaluates potential impairment of its investment in FHLB stock quarterly and considers the following: 1) the magnitude and direction of the change in the net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and the duration of this condition, 2) the ability of the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, 3) the impact of regulatory changes on the FHLB and on its members and 4) the liquidity position of the FHLB. Redemptions of FHLB stock totaled $2.2 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. After evaluating these factors the Company has concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock is recoverable and no impairment has been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.

The Company evaluates debt securities on a quarterly basis to determine whether OTTI exists. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities. Accordingly, unrealized losses at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are not considered other-than-temporary and are therefore reflected in other comprehensive income.

In order to assess and monitor the credit risk associated with commercial loans, the Company employs a risk rating methodology whereby each commercial loan is initially assigned a risk grade. At least annually, all risk ratings are reviewed in light of information received such as tax returns, rent rolls, cash flow statements, appraisals, and any other information which may affect the then current risk rating, which may be adjusted upward or downward as a result of this review. At the end of each quarter the risk ratings are summarized and become a component of the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s risk rating definitions mirror those promulgated by banking regulators and are as follows:
 
Pass: A good quality loan characterized by satisfactory liquidity; reasonable debt capacity and coverage; acceptable management in all critical positions and normal operating results for its peer group. The Company has grades 1 through 6 within the Pass category which reflect the increasing amount of attention paid to the individual loan because of, among other things, trends in debt service coverage, management weaknesses, or collateral values.
 
Special mention: A loan that has potential weaknesses that deserves management’s close attention. Although the loan is currently protected, if left uncorrected, potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the loan’s repayment prospects or in the Company’s future credit position. Potential weaknesses include: weakening financial condition; an unrealistic repayment program; inadequate sources of funds; lack of adequate collateral, credit

information, or documentation. There is currently the capacity to meet interest and principal payments, but further adverse business, financial, or economic conditions may impair the borrower’s capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal.
 
Substandard: A loan that is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Although no loss of principal or interest is presently apparent, there is the distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. There is a current identifiable vulnerability to default and the dependence upon favorable business, financial, or economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.
 
Doubtful: A loan which has all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to strengthen the asset, classification as an estimated loss if deferred until a more exact status is determined. Pending factors include: proposed merger, acquisition, liquidation, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.
 
Loss: Loans which are considered uncollectible and should be charged off. The Company has charged-off all loans classified as loss.
 
Loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful are monitored individually on a monthly basis. Loans which require impairment evaluation are placed on nonaccrual status and are classified as substandard or doubtful.

NOTE 5 — LOANS RECEIVABLE (Continued)
 
In order to assess and monitor the credit risk associated with residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, which include second mortgage loans and home equity secured lines of credit, the Company relies upon the payment status of the loan. Residential mortgage and other consumer loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and evaluated for impairment on a pooled basis with the exception of loans with balances in excess of $1 million and loans that have been modified as TDRs. An individual impairment analysis is performed using a recent appraisal or current sales contract for TDRs as well as nonperforming mortgage and consumer loans with balances in excess of $1 million.

The following table presents by class nonperforming loans including impaired loans and loan balances past due over 90 days for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued:

There were no TDRs modified during 2012 that subsequently defaulted. However, a TDR identified in 2011 as in default of its modified terms was subsequently discharged in a short sale during 2012 with a $40,000 loss charged to the allowance for loan losses.

The Bank had no concentration of loans to borrowers engaged in similar activities that exceeded 10% of loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to certain executive officers, directors and their related interests. Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was approximately $125,000 and $138,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. New loans to related parties of $35,000 were made during 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, principal repayments of $48,000 of related party loans were received. Unused lines of credit available were $360,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 10 — BENEFIT PLANS
 
a.           Defined Contribution Plan
 
The Bank maintains a 401(k) profit-sharing plan for eligible employees. Participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax eligible compensation. The Bank makes matching discretionary contributions equal to 75% of the initial $1,000 deferral. Matching contributions to the 401(k) plan totaled $78,000 in both 2012 and 2011.
 
b.           Defined Benefit Plan
 
The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-time employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The benefits are based on each employee’s years of service and an average earnings formula. An employee becomes fully vested upon completion of five years of qualifying service. It is the policy of the Bank to fund the maximum amount allowable under the individual aggregate cost method to the extent deductible under existing federal income tax regulations.

NOTE 10 — BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)
 
The financial statements of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan are prepared in conformity with US GAAP. Investments of the plan are stated at fair value. Purchase and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Fair value of plan assets is determined using the fair value hierarchy discussed in Note 16-Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value hierarchy requires the plan to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and provides three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
 
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the plan’s financial assets at fair value as of December 31, 2012:

Collective investment trust funds are valued by the trustee. The trustee follows written procedures for establishing unit values on a periodic basis which incorporate observable market data; however the collective investment trust fund itself is not traded on an established market and therefore is categorized as a Level 2 hierarchy.

investment fundamentals that closely match the demographics of the plan’s participants. The plan’s goal is to earn long-term returns that match or exceed the benefit obligations of the plan, giving consideration to the timing of expected future benefit payments, through a well-diversified portfolio structure. The plan’s return objectives and risk parameters are managed through a diversified mix of assets. The asset mix and investment strategy are reviewed on a quarterly basis and rebalanced when necessary.
 
c.           ESOP
 
The Company has an internally leveraged ESOP for eligible employees who have completed six months of service with the Company or its subsidiaries. The ESOP borrowed $4.2 million from the Company in 1996 to purchase 423,200 newly issued shares of common stock. Any dividends received by the ESOP will be used to pay debt service. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP in order to service the ESOP’s debt if necessary. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year and allocated to qualifying employees. The Company reports compensation expense in the amount equal to the fair value of shares allocated from the ESOP to employees less dividends received on the allocated shares in the plan used for debt service. The allocated shares are included in outstanding shares for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense included in stock-based compensation totaled $286,000 and $222,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the year and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of exercisable in-the-money options). The Company has a policy of issuing shares from treasury to satisfy share option exercises.
 
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options resulted in a tax benefit of $9,000 and $11,000, for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was $22,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested options under the stock option plans at December 31, 2012. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 10 months at December 31, 2012.

Deferred taxes are included as other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, for the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and federal income tax bases of assets and liabilities according to the provisions of currently enacted tax laws. No valuation allowance was established at December 31, 2012 and 2011, in view of the Company’s ability to carry back to taxes paid in previous years and certain tax strategies, coupled with the anticipated future taxable income as evidenced by the Company’s earnings potential.

The Company files consolidated income tax returns on the basis of a calendar year. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and local jurisdictions, with the majority of activity residing in Pennsylvania. The statute of limitations for the federal return has expired on years prior to 2009. The expirations of the statutes of limitations related to the various state income tax returns that the Company and its subsidiaries file, vary by state, and are expected to expire over the term of 2013 through 2017. There are no material uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012.
 
The Bank is not required to recapture approximately $5.7 million of its tax bad debt reserve, attributable to bad debt deductions taken by it prior to 1988, as long as the Bank continues to operate as a bank under federal tax law and does not use the reserve for any other purpose. The Bank has not recorded any deferred tax liability on this portion of its tax bad debt reserve. The tax that would be paid were the Bank ultimately required to recapture that portion of the reserve would amount to approximately $1.9 million.

NOTE 12 — REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

NOTE 13 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets when they become receivable or payable. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
Unless noted otherwise, the Company requires collateral to support financial instruments with credit risk.
 
Financial instruments, the contract amounts of which represent credit risk, are as follows:

    780       710  
Loans sold with recourse
    50       52  
    $ 75,401     $ 68,197  
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held generally includes residential or commercial real estate.
 
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
 
NOTE 14 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Bank had optional commitments of $7.5 million and $5.3 million to sell mortgage loans to investors at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
The Bank leases branch facilities and office space for periods ranging up to ten years. These leases are classified as operating leases and contain options to renew for additional periods. Rental expense was approximately $554,000 and $574,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company has agreements with certain key executives that provide severance pay benefits if there is a change in control of the Company. The agreements will continue in effect until terminated or not renewed by the Company or key executives. Upon a change in control, the Company will make a lump-sum payment or continue to pay the key executives’ salaries per the agreements, and reimburse the executive for certain benefits for one year. The contingent liability under the agreements at December 31, 2012 was approximately $2.3 million.
 
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 15 — SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
 
The Bank is principally engaged in originating and investing in one-to four-family residential real estate and commercial real estate loans in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Bank offers both fixed and adjustable rates of interest on these loans that have amortization terms ranging to 30 years. The loans are generally originated or purchased on the basis of an 80% or less loan-to-value ratio, which has historically provided the Bank with more than adequate collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Bank, as with any lending institution, is subject to the risk that real estate values in the primary lending area will deteriorate, thereby potentially impairing underlying collateral values. However, management believes that weakened residential and commercial real estate values have been taken into consideration and that the loan loss allowances have been provided for in amounts commensurate with its current perception of the foregoing risks in the portfolio.
 
NOTE 16 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement hierarchy has been established for inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
 
The fair value hierarchy levels are summarized below:
·           Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·           Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
·           Level 3 inputs are unobservable and contain assumptions of the party fair valuing the asset or liability.

U.S. Government and federal agency securities are primarily priced through a multidimensional relational model, a Level 2 hierarchy, which incorporates dealer quotes and other market information including, defined sector breakdown, benchmark yields, base spread, yield to maturity, and corporate actions. State and political subdivision securities are also valued within the Level 2 hierarchy using inputs with a series of matrices that reflect benchmark yields, ratings updates, and spread adjustments. Mortgage-backed securities include FHLMC, GNMA, and FNMA certificates and privately issued real estate mortgage investment conduits which are valued under a Level 2 hierarchy using a matrix correlation to benchmark yields, spread analysis, and prepayment speeds.

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.

The fair value of impaired loans is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include Level 3 inputs that are not identifiable. Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. Impaired loans are evaluated and valued while the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or fair value. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses are presented as a percent of the appraised value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of the Company’s impaired loans using discounted cash flow valuation technique include temporary changes in payment amounts and the probability of default. Significant increases (decreases) in payment amounts would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.  The probability of default is 0% for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted impaired loans are valued using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

NOTE 16 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially valued at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or fair value at foreclosure and subsequently adjusted for further decreases in market value, if necessary. Fair value is determined by using the value of the real estate acquired through foreclosure based on appraisals prepared by qualified independent licensed appraisers contracted by the Company to perform the assessment and is therefore classified as a Level 3 hierarchy. 

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis segregated by fair value hierarchy level at December 31, 2011 are summarized below:

Mortgage servicing rights
          763             763  
 
The Company retains a qualified valuation service to calculate the amortized cost and to determine the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation service utilizes discounted cash flow analyses adjusted for prepayment speeds, market discount rates and conditions existing in the secondary servicing market. Hence, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is deemed a Level 2 hierarchy. The amortized cost basis of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights was $1.3 million and $1.0 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights was $956,000 and $763,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
In addition to financial instruments recorded at fair value in the Company’s financial statements, disclosure of the estimated fair value of all of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments is also required. For the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or significant sales activities. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company substantially utilized the established fair value measurement hierarchy.
 
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. In addition, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

NOTE 20 — MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On December 28, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. (“Roebling”), the parent company of Roebling Bank, under which the Company will acquire Roebling for approximately $14.5 million in stock and cash.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Roebling will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) after which Roebling Bank will merge with and into 3rd Fed.  Each outstanding share of Roebling common stock will be converted into the right to receive $8.60 per share or 0.3640 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the election of Roebling shareholders, subject to proration.  The aggregate cash consideration to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement must not exceed 50% of the total merger consideration (including any cash paid in connection with shares held by the employee stock ownership plan and not allocated to participant accounts). Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares at a value based on the average closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days immediately prior to the closing date.

In the event of a greater than 15% decline in market value of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the announcement of the Merger, which percentage decline exceeds any decline in the NASDAQ Bank Index

NOTE 20 — MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS (Continued)

from its starting point by more than 15%, Roebling may be able to terminate the Merger Agreement unless the Company increases the number of shares into which Roebling common stock may be converted.

The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.  As a result, the shares of Roebling exchanged for the Company’s shares will be transferred on a tax-free basis.   The Merger is expected to close during the second or third quarter of 2013.  If the Merger is not consummated under certain circumstances, Roebling has agreed to pay the Company a termination fee of $650,000.
