ABINGTON BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2011

Jenkintown, PA (July 29, 2011) — Abington Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq Global Select: ABBC), the parent holding company for Abington Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.12 and $0.11, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the second quarter of 2010. Additionally, the Company reported net income of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were each $0.19 for the first half of 2011 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.19 and $0.18, respectively, for the first half of 2010.

On January 26, 2011, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc., (“Susquehanna”) pursuant to which the Company will be merged with Susquehanna in a stock transaction that was valued at approximately $273 million (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of the Company will receive 1.32 shares of Susquehanna common stock for each share of Company common stock. The Bank’s 20 branches in the suburban counties surrounding Philadelphia will join Susquehanna Bank’s network of branches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia.

Mr. Robert W. White, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company, stated, “We continue to be excited about the upcoming merger with Susquehanna, which was approved by the shareholders of both companies on May 6^th. We believe that the merger, which is expected to close on or about October 1, 2011, will add value for our stockholders, and that the combined company will benefit our existing customers in the form of additional products and services and a larger branch network.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $8.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, representing decreases of 2.8% and 2.6% over the respective 2010 periods. The decreases in our net interest income for the 2011 periods compared to the 2010 periods occurred as lower interest expense was more than offset by a reduction in interest income. Our average interest rate spread increased to 2.80% and 2.75%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from 2.67% and 2.70%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010. The improvement in our average interest rate spread occurred as decreases in the average balance of and average yield earned on our interest-earning assets was more than offset by a decrease in the average balance of and average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest margin also increased period-over-period to 3.02% and 2.97%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from 2.89% and 2.93%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $1.4 million or 11.1% over the comparable 2010 period to $11.5 million. The decrease occurred as a result of a decline in both the average balance of our total interest-earning assets and the average yield earned on those assets. Although the average balances of our investment and mortgage-backed securities increased slightly quarter-over-quarter, these increases were more than offset by a decrease in the average balance of our loan portfolio of $58.8 million or 8.1% quarter-over-quarter. The average yield earned on our total interest-earning assets decreased 22 basis points to 4.32% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 4.54% for the second quarter of 2010.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.8 million or 10.9% over the comparable 2010 period to $23.2 million. As was the case for the three-month period, the decrease occurred as a result of a decline in both the average balance of our total interest-earning assets and the average yield earned on those assets.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $1.2 million or 25.8% from the comparable 2010 period to $3.5 million. The decrease occurred as a result of a decline in both the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities and the average rate paid on those liabilities. The average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $86.9 million or 8.7% to $911.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $998.0 million for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in the average balance of our advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of $51.5 million or 39.0% and our certificates of deposit of $57.5 million or 12.3%, quarter-over-quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of our core deposits of $25.1 million quarter-over-quarter. The average rate we paid on our total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points to 1.52% for the second quarter of 2011 from 1.87% for the second quarter of 2010 due to declines in the average rate paid on our advances from the FHLB of 74 basis points and our deposits of 19 basis points.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.4 million or 25.2% from the comparable 2010 period to $7.1 million. As was the case for the three-month period, the decrease in our interest expense occurred as a result of a decline in both the average balance of our total interest-bearing liabilities and the average rate paid on those liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

No provision for loan losses was recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2011. Likewise, no provision was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010. A provision of $563,000 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The provision for loan losses is charged to expense as necessary to bring our allowance for loan losses to a sufficient level to cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Management determined that no provision was required during the second quarter of 2011 based on our evaluation of the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in relation to the loan portfolio, and in consideration of a number of factors including a decrease in the outstanding balance of our loans receivable and the resolution or charge-off of certain large-balance, non-performing loans in recent periods.

Our non-accrual loans increased to $10.9 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $7.1 million at March 31, 2011 and $7.0 million at December 31, 2010. The increase during the second quarter of 2011 was due primarily to the addition four multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans and eight one- to four-family residential loans to three borrowers with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3.8 million at June 30, 2011. Also contributing to the increase was the addition of one construction loan with an outstanding balance of $1.9 million at June 30, 2011. All of these loans were classified as substandard at June 30, 2011, and $371,000 of our allowance for loan losses was allocated to these loans at such date. Our total non-performing loans, defined as non-accruing loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due, increased to $13.9 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $8.2 million at March 31, 2011 and $9.0 million at December 31, 2010. The increase during the second quarter of 2011 was due primarily to the addition of the aforementioned non-accrual loans, as well as to one construction loan with an outstanding balance of $1.8 million at June 30, 2011 that became over 90 days past due during the second quarter of 2011, but continued to remain on accrual status. At June 30, 2011 our non-performing loans amounted to 2.12% of loans receivable compared to 1.19% at March 31, 2011 and 1.29% at December 31, 2010. Our allowance for loan losses amounted to 31.35% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2011 compared to 52.68% at March 31, 2011 and 47.27% at December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011 our non-performing assets amounted to 3.19% of total assets compared to 2.71% at March 31, 2011 and 2.62% at December 31, 2010.

Non-Interest Income and Expenses

Our total non-interest income decreased to $785,000 for the second quarter of 2011 from $806,000 for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease occurred as an increase in other income quarter-over-quarter was more than offset by decreases in service charge income and income on bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) as well as a larger net loss on real estate owned (“REO”).

Our total non-interest income increased to $1.5 million for the first half of 2011 from $1.2 million for the first half of 2010. The increase was due primarily to an improvement in our net loss on REO of $381,000 period-over-period partially offset by a decrease in service charge income of $62,000.

Our total non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2011 amounted to $5.9 million, representing a decrease of $516,000 or 8.1% compared to the second quarter of 2010. All expense categories decreased quarter-over-quarter with the exception of our data processing expense and our advertising and promotions expense. The largest decreases were in expenses for professional services and deposit insurance premium, which decreased $132,000 and $158,000, respectively, quarter-over-quarter.

Our total non-interest expenses for the first half of 2011 amounted to $12.8 million, representing an increase of $453,000 or 3.7% compared to the first half of 2010. The largest increases were in expenses for salaries and employee benefits and professional services, which increased $158,000 and $395,000, respectively, period-over-period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $158,000 in our expense for director compensation period-over-period.

The Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $756,000 and $668,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Statement of Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets decreased $70.4 million, or 5.6%, to $1.18 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $1.25 billion at December 31, 2010. The most significant decreases were in our investment and mortgage-backed securities, which decreased $20.7 million in the aggregate during the first half of 2011, and loans receivable, which decreased $43.9 million during the first half of 2011. These decreases occurred as repayments of securities and loans during the period were used primarily to reduce our liabilities.

Our total deposits decreased $59.4 million or 6.6% to $840.7 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $900.1 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease during the first half of 2011 was due to decreases in all categories of deposits, including a decrease in our savings and money market accounts of $22.9 million and a decrease in our certificates of deposit of $27.0 million. Our advances from the FHLB decreased $33.0 million or 30.0% to $76.9 million at June 30, 2011 from $109.9 million at December 31, 2010, as we continued to repay existing balances. Our other borrowed money, which consists of overnight repurchase agreements entered into with certain of our commercial checking account customers, increased $12.9 million or 81.5% to $28.8 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $15.9 million at December 31, 2010.

Our total stockholders’ equity increased to $216.3 million at June 30, 2011 from $211.9 million at December 31, 2010. Contributing to the increase was the reissuance of approximately 101,000 shares of treasury stock with a cost basis of approximately $968,000 in conjunction with the exercise of stock options by certain of our employees during the period. Additionally, our retained earnings increased $1.4 million as our net income for the period was partially offset by the payment of our quarterly cash dividends of $0.06 per share of common stock each quarter. Furthermore, our accumulated other comprehensive income increased $1.0 million during the first six months of 2011 primarily due to increases in the aggregate fair value of our available for sale investment and mortgage-backed securities.
