NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

(dollars in thousands)

Company Organization and Financial Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of National Bancshares Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First National Bank, Orrville, Ohio (the “Bank”) and NBOH Properties, LLC. The Bank has a minority interest in First Kropf Title, LLC. The Bank’s investment in First Kropf Title, LLC is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Company provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in Medina, Stark, Summit and Wayne Counties, Ohio. While the Company’s chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading; however, the results of operations and other data presented for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other banks with original maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. 88,000 and 46,000 stock options were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates, interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance has resulted in added disclosure in the Consolidated Financial Statements – See Note 3.

Table of Contents

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment will have no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the current presentation of comprehensive income is in compliance with this amendment.

The fair value of securities at September 30, 2011 by contractual maturity were as follows. Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately.

 

		Amortized Cost				Fair Value
Due in one year or less		$	4,436			$	4,442
Due from one to five years			5,769				6,000
Due from five to ten years			18,472				19,820

Mortgage-backed: residential			84,567				87,208
Equity securities			23				28
Total		$	138,374			$	144,008

Securities pledged at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 had a fair value of $72,804 and $58,827 and were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

Securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, are as follows:

 

		Less than 12 months								12 months or more								Total
September 30, 2011		Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss
State and municipal		$	1,259			$	(12	)		$	—			$	—			$	1,259			$	(12	)
Mortgage-backed: residential			3,194				(16	)			—				—				3,194				(16	)
Total temporarily impaired		$	4,453			$	(28	)		$	—			$	—			$	4,453			$	(28	)

 

		Less than 12 months								12 months or more								Total
December 31, 2010		Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss				Fair Value				Unrealized Loss
State and municipal		$	18,125			$	(484	)		$	—			$	—			$	18,125			$	(484	)
Mortgage-backed: residential			17,067				(240	)			—				—				17,067				(240	)
Equity securities			—				—				10				(13	)			10				(13	)
Total temporarily impaired		$	35,192			$	(724	)		$	10			$	(13	)		$	35,202			$	(737	)

Management believes the unrealized losses of securities as of September 30, 2011 are the result of fluctuations in interest rates and do not reflect deterioration in the credit quality of the securities. Accordingly management considers these unrealized losses to be temporary in nature. The Company does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell these securities before their recovery. The fair value of debt securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

The impact on interest income of impaired loans was immaterial to the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011.

Impaired loans are generally measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral supporting the loan. Evaluating impaired loan collateral is based on level 3 inputs utilizing outside appraisals adjusted by management for sales costs and other assumptions regarding market conditions to arrive at fair value.

The following table presents loans individually evaluated for impairment by class of loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Troubled Debt Restructuring

As of period ending September 30, 2011, certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The Company has two loans with balances of $1,661 that were individually evaluated for impairment whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2011. $300 of specific reserve has been allocated for these loans. The nature of the modifications did not impact the stated interest rate or the final maturities. The Company has not committed to lend any additional amounts as of September 30, 2011 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. There have been no new loans classified as troubled debt restructurings for the three or nine month period ending September 30, 2011. There were $1,876 of loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2010. No specific reserve has been allocated for these loans.

The Company has one commercial real estate loan with $719 thousand that was modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default during the period ending September 30, 2011. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The troubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted increased the allowance for loan losses by $150 thousand and resulted in charge offs of $0 during the period ending September 30, 2011.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the nine month period ending September 30, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These loans have a total recorded investment as of September 30, 2011 of $1,276. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the company’s internal underwriting policy.

Substandard

Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral securing the loan. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with a distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful

Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, 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.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Note 4 – Interest-Rate Swaps

(dollars in thousands)

The Company utilizes interest-rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position, not for speculation. The notional amount of the interest-rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements.

The Company implemented a program in 2009 whereby it lends to its borrowers at a fixed rate with the loan agreement containing a two-way yield maintenance provision. The program has one participant as of September 30, 2011. If the borrower prepays the loan, the yield maintenance provision will result in a prepayment penalty or benefit depending on the interest rate environment at the time of the prepayment. This provision represents an embedded derivative which is required to be bifurcated from the host loan contract. As a result of bifurcating the embedded derivative, the Company records the transaction with the borrower as a floating rate loan and a pay floating / receive fixed interest-rate swap. To offset the risk of the interest-rate swap with the borrower, the Company enters into an interest-rate swap with an outside counterparty that mirrors the terms of the interest-rate swap between the Company and the borrower. Both interest-rate swaps are carried as freestanding derivatives with their changes in fair value reported in current earnings. The interest-rate swaps are not designated as hedges. The change in the fair value of the interest-rate swap between the Company and its borrower was an increase of $10 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which was offset by an equal decrease in value during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 on the interest-rate swap with an outside counterparty, with the result that there was no impact on income as of September 30, 2011.

Summary information about the interest-rate swaps not designated as hedges between the Company and its borrower as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

 

Notional amount		$	1,439
Weighted average receive rate			5.33	%
Weighted average pay rate			3.28	%
Weighted average maturity (years)			2.3
Fair value of interest-rate swaps		$	57

Summary information about the interest-rate swaps between the Company and outside parties as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

 

Notional amount		$	1,439
Weighted average pay rate			5.33	%
Weighted average receive rate			3.28	%
Weighted average maturity (years)			2.3
Fair value of interest-rate swaps		$	(57	)

The fair value of the interest-rate swaps at September 30, 2011 is reflected in other assets and other liabilities with a corresponding offset to noninterest income.

Note 5 – Stock-Based Compensation

(dollars in thousands, except per share information)

The Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options or restricted stock awards, to its officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors for up to 223,448 shares of common stock.

Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods determined by the Company’s compensation committee and have terms that shall not exceed 10 years.

On May 20, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 58,000 shares of stock to directors and certain key officers, of which 45,000 remain outstanding at September 30, 2011. The exercise price of the options is $18.03 per share. The options vest in five equal installments over a five-year period and have a term of 10 years. None of these options have been exercised as of September 30, 2011.

On October 19, 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 43,000 shares of stock to directors and certain key officers, all of which remained outstanding at September 30, 2011. The exercise price of the options is $13.22 per share. The options vest in five equal installments over a five-year period and have a term of 10 years. None of these options have been exercised as of September 30, 2011.

The total compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan was $33 and $12 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $13 and $3 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The total income tax benefit was $4 and $1 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and $11 and $4 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. As of September 30, 2011, there was $76 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

On January 3, 2011, the Company granted restricted stock awards for 3,744 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain directors in lieu of cash payment of fees. The awards vested immediately and the compensation expense related to the awards of $50 was recorded in 2010. The fair value of the stock was determined using closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

On July 1, 2011, the Company granted restricted stock awards for 3,552 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain directors in lieu of cash payment of fees. The awards vested immediately and the compensation expense related to the awards of $48 was recorded in 2011. The fair value of the stock was determined using closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Note 6 – Fair Value

(dollars in thousands)

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using estimates of current market rates for each type of security. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

Table of Contents

The fair value of derivatives is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal amount of $2,000, with a valuation allowance of $490, resulting in an additional provision for loan loss of $221 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Impaired loans had a principal amount of $3,385, with a valuation allowance of $269, resulting in an additional provision of $1,790 for loan loss in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $18, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $133, net of a valuation allowance of $115 at September 30, 2011. There were write-downs of $2 and $40 of other real estate for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2011. There were no write-downs of other real estate owned for the quarter or year to date ended September 30, 2010.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with other financial institutions, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Securities fair values are determined as previously described. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of restricted equity securities due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as referenced in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties. When used herein, the terms “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to differences include, changes in the regulatory environment, changes in business conditions and inflation, risks associated with credit quality and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

GENERAL

The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, provision for loan losses, noninterest income and its ability to control costs. Net interest income is the difference (“spread”) between the interest income earned on loans and securities and the cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-term funds. The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. The provision for loan losses is significantly affected by the relative strength or weakness of the local economy. The Company’s net income is also affected by, among other things, loan fee income, service charges, gains on securities and loans, operating expenses, FDIC assessment expense and franchise and income taxes. The Company’s operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and other general and administrative expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Additionally, future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may also materially impact the Company.

OVERVIEW

Total assets increased to $407.1 million as of September 30, 2011, from $374.1 million at December 31, 2010.

Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2010 or $0.83 and $0.60 basic and diluted per share, respectively. Net income was positively impacted by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 increased $573 thousand, or 6.1%, compared to the same period in 2010, despite a declining interest rate environment. The provision for loan losses decreased to $447 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. The higher provision amount in 2010 was primarily related to an increase in the specific loss allocations of two loans adversely classified during 2010. Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $276 thousand compared to the same period in 2010, primarily related to the decrease in net gains recorded on the sale of securities from $616 thousand in 2010 to $173 thousand in 2011.

Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2011 increased $572 thousand compared to the same period in 2010 due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, data processing and occupancy expense. Income tax expense was $341 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $234 thousand for the same period in 2010.

Office of the Controller of the Currency (“OCC”) regulations requires banks to maintain certain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Additionally, the regulations establish a framework for the classification of banks into five categories: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Generally, an institution is considered well-capitalized if it has a core (Tier 1) capital ratio of at least 5.0% (based on adjusted total assets); a core (Tier 1) risk-based capital ratio of a least 6.0%; and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. The Bank had capital ratios above the minimum to be well-capitalized at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The Company is not aware of any market or institutional trends, events or uncertainties that are expected to have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources or operations or any current recommendations by its regulators which would have a material effect if implemented. The Company has not engaged in sub-prime lending activities and does not plan to engage in those activities in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION – SEPTEMBER 30, 2011, COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2010

Balance Sheet

Cash and due from banks increased $16.2 million to $29.1 million at September 30, 2011.

Securities available for sale increased $6.0 million due primarily to the purchase of $40.3 million securities, offset by maturities and repayments of $25.4 million and $10.9 million in sales. The net unrealized gains on securities increased to $5.6 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to $2.9 million net unrealized gains on securities as of December 31, 2010.

Loans increased $16.9 million during the first nine months of 2011. Loan growth has improved as a result of efforts made in the last three years to add experienced lenders and loan products that borrowers want and need. The commercial lending products now offered, along with knowledgeable lenders, have given the Bank the ability to offer a full range of lending products to our existing and potential customers. The Bank is also concentrating on the expansion of our agricultural business and lending services.

Total		$	207,096			$	190,685

Allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. This account is increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. The allowance balance required is established using the following methodology:

 

•

All problem loans, impaired loans, past due loans and non-performing loans are closely monitored and analyzed by management on an ongoing basis. A classification rating is assigned to problem loans based on information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values. These loans are classified as either special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.

 

•

Specific problem loans, past due loans or non-performing loans are identified and analyzed individually in an effort to determine the expected probable incurred loss on these specifically identified loans.

 

•

For problem loans that are not analyzed individually, a provision is established based on a historical migration analysis. The historical migration analysis identifies the percentage of problem loans that have been ultimately charged-off historically and over what time periods such loans have been charged off. Historical migration percentages are reviewed and adjusted by management to reflect various factors such as the growth and change in mix of the loan portfolio and by Comptroller of the Currency regulatory guidance. Non-individually analyzed loans are pooled and evaluated by loan type. The probable incurred loss on these pooled past due loans is estimated using historical loan loss experience.

 

•

National and local economic conditions and other factors are also considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

 

•

A percentage of the allowance is allocated to specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

 

•

The allowance for loan losses is reviewed on a regular basis to determine the adequacy of the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.44% as of September 30, 2011, which is an increase from 1.34% at December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $447 thousand, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. Net recoveries were $2 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million for the same period in 2010.

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.95% ($4.1 million) for September 30, 2011 compared to 2.55% ($4.9 million) for December 31, 2010. Non-performing loans consist of loans that have been placed on non-accrual status and loans past due over 90 days and still accruing interest. Loans past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing decreased from $1.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to $1.0 million as of September 30, 2011.

Total classified assets		$	10,681				5.1	%		$	12,603				6.5	%

Total classified loans decreased from $12.5 million at December 31, 2010 to $10.7 million at September 30, 2011. The Bank’s classification ratio was 23.2% and 32.0% as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The classification ratio is calculated using total adversely classified assets (excluding special mention loans) divided by Tier 1 capital plus allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of September 30, 2011.

Total deposits increased $31.2 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010. The increase is primarily attributed to growth in noninterest-bearing demand accounts and interest-bearing demand accounts. Historically noninterest-bearing demand accounts have fluctuated based upon the liquidity needs of our customers. The increase in interest-bearing demand accounts can be attributed to the Company’s success in marketing our “Platinum Checking” and “Reward Checking” accounts.

Deposits at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED

September 30, 2011 and 2010

Net income for the first nine months of 2011 was $1.8 million or $0.83 per basic and diluted earnings per share compared to $1,317 thousand or $0.60 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2010. Net income was positively impacted by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) and average assets (“ROAA”) for the first nine months of 2011 were 6.08% and 0.62%, respectively, compared with 4.41% and 0.46% for the first nine months of 2010.

Interest and dividend income totaled $11.5 million, a decrease of $310 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Adjusted on a fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) basis the yield on earning assets in the first nine months of 2011 was 4.45% compared to 4.63% in the first nine months of 2010. The decrease in the average yield on earning assets is primarily related to the overall decline in interest rates.

Interest expense totaled $1.6 million, a decrease of $883 thousand or 35.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The average cost for interest bearing liabilities was 0.74% for the first nine months of 2011 compared to 1.17% for the same period in 2010.

The decrease of 43 basis points from the first nine months of 2011 is the result of change in the average volume in the mix of interest bearing liabilities and declining interest rates. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities is due primarily to growth in interest-bearing demand accounts and savings accounts. The cost of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings accounts is relatively low compared to other interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income increased $573 thousand, or 6.1% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to September 30, 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, the interest rate spread on a FTE basis increased by 26 basis points when compared to the first nine months of 2010.

Provision for loan losses totaled $447 thousand for the first nine months of 2011 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. The change in the provision was primarily due to a decrease in general loss reserves, slightly offset by an increase in specific loss allocations.

Non-performing loans decreased to $4.1 million as of September 30, 2011, compared to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2010. Adversely classified loans also decreased to $10.7 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $12.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Adversely classified loans are credits that Bank management has graded special mention, substandard and doubtful. Loans past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing decreased from $1.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to $1.0 million as of September 30, 2011.

Each quarter, management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by reviewing the overall quality and risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio, by reviewing specific problem credits and assessing the potential for losses based on expected cash flows or collateral values, by reviewing trends in problem loan levels, by updating loss history for the Company’s loans, by analyzing the growth and change in mix of the portfolio, and by analyzing economic trends that are believed to impact the Company’s borrowers. Management reviewed all of these factors and determined the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of September 30, 2011.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $2.2 million or 11.3%, from $2.4 million for the same period in 2010. The change is primarily related to the decrease in net gains recorded on the sale of securities from $616 thousand in 2010 to $173 thousand in 2011.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $9.5 million, an increase of 6.4% from $8.9 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily related to the opening of the retail banking office in Fairlawn, Ohio and the increase of office hours at all retail banking locations implemented during the fourth quarter of 2010. There were also slight increases to data processing expense and net occupancy expense.

Income tax expense was $341 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which represents an increase of $107 thousand compared to the same period in 2010. Higher pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in interest income from tax-exempt securities are the primary factors causing the increase in income tax expense.

Quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 income statement highlights:

 

•

Net interest income increased $319 thousand, compared to the same period in 2010. The change was driven by an increase in average earning assets and growth in low-cost core deposits.

 

•

Interest income was nearly unchanged, decreasing by $1 thousand and resulted from a decrease in interest income from taxable securities, offset by an increase in interest income from loans and nontaxable securities.

 

•

Interest expense decreased $318 thousand or 39.8%, primarily related to a decrease in interest expense for deposits and FHLB advances.

 

•

The provision for loan losses was $150 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $228 thousand for the same period in 2010. The provision is lower in 2011 due to the reduction in loan charge-offs during the quarter.

 

•

Securities gains were $122 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to securities gains of $540 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

 

•

Salaries and benefits expense increased $141 thousand, primarily related to opening a retail banking office in Fairlawn, Ohio and an increase in office hours at all retail banking locations in December of 2010.

 

•

FDIC Assessment expense decreased from $132 thousand in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to $72 thousand for the same period in 2011. A change in the methodology of calculating the FDIC assessment, effective April 1, 2011, was responsible for the decrease. The new methodology is based on the asset size of a bank, instead of the amount of customer deposits.

•

Occupancy expense increased $49 thousand, compared to the same period in 2010. The change was the result of improvements made to existing Bank facilities in late 2010.

 

•

Income tax expense was $188 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $100 thousand compared to the same period in 2010. Higher pre-tax income in 2010 due primarily to securities gains and an increase in interest income from tax-exempt securities in 2011 is the primary cause of the decrease.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Economic Value of Equity

The economic value of equity, (EVE), is the difference between the net present value of the assets and the net present value of liabilities. EVE can be thought of as the liquidation value of the Bank on the date the calculation is made. Calculating EVE involves using a discount rate to calculate the net present value of assets and liabilities after making assumptions about the duration of assets and liabilities. As interest rates change, the discount rate changes and the change in interest rates effects the duration of assets and liabilities. If interest rates fall, for example, the duration of loans shortens since borrowers tend to prepay. Conversely the duration of loans increases if interest rates rise since borrowers are inclined to hold on to the favorable rate they were able to obtain in the lower interest rate environment.

The Board of Directors has established revised limits on a decline in the economic value of equity (EVE) and earnings at risk (EAR) given changes in interest rates. These limits are that EVE shall not decline by more than 10%, 20% and 30% given a 1%, 2% and 3% increase or decrease in interest rates respectively and that EAR shall not be greater than 8%, 16% or 24% given a 1%, 2% or 3% increase or decrease in interest rates respectively. The following illustrates our equity at risk in the economic value of equity model.

 

September 30, 2011
Basis Point Change in Rates		+300 bp				+200 bp				+100 bp				-100 bp				-200 bp				-300 bp
Increase (decrease) in EVE			(9.7	)%			(3.7	)%			0.6	%			(8.7	)%			nm				nm
December 31, 2010
Basis Point Change in Rates		+300 bp				+200 bp				+100 bp				-100 bp				-200 bp				-300 bp
Increase (decrease) in EVE			(12.9	)%			(6.8	)%			(1.9	)%			(4.3	)%			nm				nm

nm – not meaningful

The Bank is in compliance with the interest rate risk policy limits related to EVE as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Earnings at Risk

Earnings at risk, is the amount by which net interest income will be affected given a change in interest rates. The interest income and interest expense for each category of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is recalculated after making up and down assumptions about the change in interest rates. Changes in prepayment speeds and repricing speeds are also taken into account when computing earnings at risk given a change in interest rates.

The following illustrates the effect on earnings or EAR given rate increases of 100 to 300 basis points and decreases in interest rates of 100 to 300 basis points.

 

September 30, 2011
Basis Point Change in Rates		+300 bp				+200 bp				+100 bp				-100 bp				-200 bp				-300 bp
Increase (decrease) in Earnings			0.9	%			0.8	%			0.5	%			(0.6	)%			nm				nm
December 31, 2010
Basis Point Change in Rates		+300 bp				+200 bp				+100 bp				-100 bp				-200 bp				-300 bp
Increase (decrease) in Earnings			(0.7	)%			(0.4	)%			(0.3	)%			(1.4	)%			nm				nm

nm – not meaningful

The Bank is in compliance with the interest rate risk policy limits related to EAR as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
