Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $0.08 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.13 per share or 162.5%. The Company reported net income of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $514,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $536,000 or 104.3%. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.37 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.18 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $0.19 per share or 105.6%.

Patrick G. O’Brien, President and CEO, stated, “We are encouraged that the strategies we implemented in 2011 have contributed to improved results.  However, the continuance of a historically low interest rate environment has and will put pressure on our net interest margin. Thus, we continue to examine strategies to create greater efficiency. On July 20, 2012, we announced that we intend to consolidate our Donora office on October 26, 2012.  With three offices in close proximity to Donora, we concluded that we can continue to provide quality customer services to the users of our Donora office while achieving the expense savings of a more streamlined branch network.”

Second Quarter Results

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $119,000, or 4.5%, to $2.5 million compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Paydowns and payoffs of higher yielding loans and securities resulted in a $423,000 decline in interest income. This was partially offset by interest rate reductions on deposits that resulted in a $190,000 decrease in deposits expense and payoffs on borrowings that resulted in a $114,000 decrease in borrowings expense. Net interest margin was 3.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 3.31% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

The provision for loan losses was $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $200,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Despite an increase in net charge-offs, the provision decreased primarily due to a reduction in specific reserves after receiving an updated collateral appraisal. Net charge-offs were $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $41,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Charge-offs in both periods were composed primarily of residential mortgage loans. Total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2012 were $3.0 million compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2011. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2012 were comprised primarily of 12 residential mortgage loans totaling $2.4 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $453,000. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily in the purchased residential category.

Noninterest income increased $120,000 to $876,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $756,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In the current period, a financed real estate owned property was paid off which resulted in the recognition of $66,000 of deferred income. There was also a $20,000 gain on the sale of real estate owned properties in the current period compared to an $11,000 loss in the prior period.  In addition, fees and service charge income increased $28,000 primarily due to changes in the Bank’s fee structure and related customer activity as well as the receipt of a prepayment penalty from a commercial real estate loan payoff in the current period.

Noninterest expense decreased $388,000, or 13.8%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Compensation expense decreased $186,000 primarily due to the termination of the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the final vesting of 2006 restricted stock awards and options. Occupancy expense decreased $81,000 primarily due to fully depreciated assets, a decrease in rent due to branch consolidation in the prior year, and a decrease in office building maintenance costs. In addition, professional services decreased $77,000 primarily due to costs associated with a branch facilities assessment in the prior period.

Year-to-Date Results

Net interest income decreased $156,000 to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Paydowns and payoffs of higher yielding loans and securities resulted in a $736,000 decline in interest income.  This was partially offset by interest rate reductions on deposits that resulted in a $299,000 decrease in deposits expense and payoffs on borrowings that resulted in a $281,000 decrease in borrowings expense. Net interest margin was 3.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 3.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The provision for loan losses was $210,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $450,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The provision decreased primarily due to a reduction in specific reserves after receiving an updated collateral appraisal.  In addition, prior period adjustments to the qualitative factors used in determining the allowance for loan losses resulted in an increase in the provision in the previous period.  Net charge-offs were $320,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Charge-offs in both periods were composed primarily of residential mortgage loans.

Noninterest income increased $125,000, or 7.9%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In the current period, a financed real estate owned property was paid off which resulted in the recognition of $66,000 of income that had previously been deferred. In addition, fees and service charge income increased $59,000 primarily due to changes in the Bank’s fee structure and related customer activity as well as the receipt of prepayment penalties from commercial real estate loan payoffs in the current period.

Noninterest expense decreased $621,000, or 11.2%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Compensation expense decreased $410,000 primarily due to the termination of the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a decrease in stock-based compensation expense due to the final vesting of 2006 restricted stock awards and options. Occupancy expense decreased $118,000 primarily due to fully depreciated assets, a decrease in rent due to a branch closing in the prior year, and a decrease in office building maintenance costs. There was also a $45,000 decrease in insurance premiums due to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s revised assessment methodology implemented in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, other miscellaneous expense decreased $62,000 primarily due to a decrease in real estate owned, postage and advertising expenses.

Balance Sheet Review

Total assets increased $3.5 million to $338.8 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $335.3 million at December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased $8.2 million primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in deposits, principally in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and money market accounts. Loans decreased $2.3 million primarily as a result of payoffs and paydowns on one-to-four family mortgage and commercial business loans partially offset by growth in home equity and commercial real estate loans. Securities available-for-sale decreased $1.2 million due to calls and paydowns, including a $2.0 million call of a Government Sponsored Enterprise security and a $665,000 partial call of a municipal bond, that was partially offset by the purchase of $9.3 million of securities, including $4.5 million in REMICs, $2.7 million in tax exempt municipal bonds, and $2.1 million in mortgage-backed securities.  In addition, borrowings decreased $3.4 million due to paydowns on amortizing advances and the payoff of a $1.0 million matured advance.
