Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., Norwood Settlement Services, LLC, and WTRO Properties. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or any other future interim period.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2011.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(in thousands)

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,278		3,292		3,279		3,001
Dilutive effect of stock options		8		1		5		1
Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,286		3,293		3,284		3,002

Stock options which had no intrinsic value, because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation were 60,000 and 165,150 as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, based upon the closing price of Norwood common stock of $30.20 and $24.02 per share on September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2012, there was $33,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted in 2011 under the plan, which will be fully amortized by December 31, 2012.

A summary of stock options from all plans, adjusted for stock dividends declared, is shown below.

	Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

Outstanding at January 1, 2012	209,914		$	28.43	6.3	Yrs.	$	113
Granted	-			-		-		-
Exercised	(4,775	)		20.72	.8	Yrs.		31
Forfeited	(12,225	)		29.65	5.2	Yrs.		-
Outstanding at September 30, 2012	192,914			28.54	5.7	Yrs.		370

Exercisable at September 30, 2012	164,914			28.72	5.0	Yrs.		293

Intrinsic value represents the amount by which the market price of the stock on the measurement date exceeded the exercise price of the option. The stock price was $30.20 as of September 30, 2012 and $27.47 as of December 31, 2011.

4. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees

The Bank 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 include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)	September 30,
	2012		2011
Unfunded availability under loan commitments	$	38,297	$	37,649
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		37,081		31,183
Standby letters of credit		11,277		11,960

	$	86,655	$	80,792

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. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of

collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.

The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2012 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

	$	6,681	$	(58	)	$	15	$	(1	)	$	6,696	$	(59	)

At September 30, 2012, the Company has 14 debt securities in an unrealized loss position in the less than twelve months category and no debt securities in the twelve months or more category. In Management’s opinion the unrealized losses less than twelve months principally reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to

the acquisition of specific securities. The Company holds a small amount of equity securities in other financial institutions. As of September 30, 2012, there were no unrealized losses on equity securities. Management believes that the unrealized loss represents temporary impairment of the securities as the Company does not have the intent to sell the security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of September 30, 2012 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company maintains a loan review system, which provides for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of

the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of September 30, 2012, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $6.1 million and resulted in specific reserves of $78,000. During the quarter ending September 30, 2012, one loan with a balance of $6.5 million was written down by $1.0 million to $5.5 million as a result of the borrower’s inability to make the modified payments. The write-down was based on the estimated realizable value of the real estate collateral. During 2012 and 2011, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. As of December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $7.2 million and resulted in specific reserves of $1.2 million.

Management uses a seven point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first three categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as non performance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Bank’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $500,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

The Company’s primary business activity is with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in the hospitality lodging industry and property owners associations with loans outstanding of $46.4 million, or 51.6% of capital, to the hospitality lodging industry and $10.3 million, or 15.6% of capital, to property owners associations. There were no losses recognized on loans to the hospitality industry or to property owners associations during the current period.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $163,000 and $0 respectively, in the first nine months of 2012 compared to $240,000 and $21,000, respectively, in the same period in 2011. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $4.5 million and $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $88,000 and $0 respectively, compared to $81,000 and $21,000, respectively in the same three month period of 2011. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available, quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and valuation techniques applied:

Securities:

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 2). Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain (Level 3) investments, if applicable.

We may be required from time to time to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Impaired loans (carried at fair value):

The Company measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

There were no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at September 30, 2012.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which Norwood has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

Impaired loans	$12,533	Appraisal of collateral(1)	Appraisal adjustments(2)	10-30% (24.05%)
Foreclosed real estate owned	$659	Appraisal of collateral(1)(3)	Liquidation expenses(2)	20%

(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.
(2)	Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.
(3)	Includes qualitative adjustments by management and estimated liquidation expenses.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans receivable (carried at cost):

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of impaired loans are generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.

Mortgage servicing rights (generally carried at cost)

The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock (carried at cost):

The Company as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Bank owned life insurance (carried at cost):

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the Bank-owned life insurance.

Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g. interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Other borrowings (carried at cost):

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments were as follows at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. (In thousands)

8. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification. The amendments in this Update affect entities that cease to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt. Under the amendments in this Update, when a parent (reporting entity) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary's nonrecourse debt, the reporting entity should apply the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 to determine whether it should derecognize the in substance real estate. Generally, a reporting entity would not satisfy the requirements to derecognize the in substance real estate before the legal transfer of the real estate to the lender and the extinguishment of the related nonrecourse indebtedness. That is, even if the reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest under Subtopic 810-10, the reporting entity would continue to include the real estate, debt, and the results of the subsidiary's operations in its consolidated financial statements until legal title to the real estate is transferred to legally satisfy the debt. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The requirements amend the disclosure requirements on offsetting in Section 210-20-50. This information will enable users of an entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this Update. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, potential impairment of restricted stock, accounting for stock options, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments, valuation of impaired loans, and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-performing Assets” in the “Changes in Financial Condition” section.

The Company uses the modified prospective transition method to account for stock based compensation. Under this method companies are required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of options over the vesting period.

Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security.

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis.

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

The FHLB incurred losses in both 2009 and 2010 and had suspended the payment of dividends. However, the FHLB has shown positive results during 2011 and 2012 which includes stock redemptions and resumed dividend payments. The losses were primarily attributable to impairment of investment securities associated with the extreme economic conditions in place during the previous several years. Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for the periods presented herein. More consideration was given to the long-term prospects for the FHLB as opposed to the recent stress caused by the extreme economic conditions the world is facing. Management also considered that the FHLB’s regulatory

capital ratios have increased from the prior year, liquidity appears adequate, and the new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary decline in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by 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, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the restricted stock as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities, the Company considers 1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, 2) the financial condition of the issuer, and 3) the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security to allow for a recovery to fair value. The Company believes that the unrealized loss on all other securities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 represents temporary impairment of the securities, related to changes in interest rates.

In connection with the acquisition of North Penn, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $9.7 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institutions acquired in purchase transactions, at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company performed an assessment of key factors as of May 31, 2012 and determined that impairment of goodwill was not likely. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss.

Changes in Financial Condition

General

Total assets as of September 30, 2012 were $698.7 million compared to $668.8 million as of December 31, 2011, an increase of $29.9 million. The increase includes $21.6 million of loan growth which was funded with an $15.8 million increase in deposits and a $10.6 million increase in short-term borrowings in the form of repurchase agreements.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale as of September 30, 2012 was $147.6 million compared to $150.3 million as of December 31, 2011. The Company purchased $45.8 million of securities principally using the proceeds from $48.5 million of securities sold, called, maturities and principal reductions.

The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio (Available-for Sale and Held-to Maturity) consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2012					December 31, 2011
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		% of portfolio			Amount		% of portfolio

U.S. Government agencies	$	7,042		4.8	%	$	13,398		8.9	%
States and political subdivisions		58,864		39.8			56,917		37.8
Corporate obligations		9,382		6.3			8,809		5.9
Mortgage-backed securities- government sponsored entities		72,122		48.8			70,965		47.2
Equity securities-financial services		401		0.3			345		0.2
Total	$	147,811		100.0	%	$	150,434		100.0	%

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. Management believes that the unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans

Loans receivable totaled $479.5 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $457.9 million as of December 31, 2011. The majority of the growth recorded in 2012 was centered in commercial loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $11.6 million during the period while other commercial loans increased $5.8 million.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5,341,000 as of September 30, 2012 and represented 1.11% of total loans, compared to $5,458,000 at December 31, 2011, and $5,345,000 as of September 30, 2011. The Company had net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $1,767,000 compared to $1,346,000 in the comparable period in 2011. The Company’s loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries; economic and industry conditions; trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, large dollar exposures and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at September 30, 2012 based on the Company’s criteria. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

As of September 30, 2012, non-performing loans totaled $13.8 million, which is 2.87% of total loans compared to $7,815,000, or 1.71% of total loans at December 31, 2011. During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, one large commercial relationship in the amount of $6.5 million was transferred to nonaccrual status based on the borrower’s inability to make scheduled payments. Subsequent to the transfer, a $1.0 million write-down was processed based on the estimated realizable value of the collateral.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated:

(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011

Non-performing assets to total assets		2.07	%		1.60	%

Deposits

During the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, total deposits increased $15.8 million which includes growth of $17.3 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits and a $14.2 million increase in money market accounts. Certificates of deposit decreased $10.9 million due primarily to the seasonality of municipal deposits while NOW account balances decreased due to fluctuations in municipal accounts.

The following table sets forth deposit balances as of the dates indicated:

(dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011

Non-interest bearing demand	$	89,218	$	71,959
Interest bearing demand		46,627		51,161

Time deposits <$100,000		143,493		141,220
Time deposits >$100,000		67,363		80,554

Total	$	541,590	$	525,767

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which totaled $32.4 million on September 30, 2012 and $21.8 million on December 31, 2011. The increase of $10.6 million reflects the seasonality of the accounts.

Other borrowings consisted of the following:

(dollars in thousands)
	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Notes with the FHLB:
Convertible note due October 2012 at 4.37%	$	5,000	$	5,000
Convertible note due May 2013 at 3.015%		5,000		5,000
Fixed rate note due July 2015 at 4.34%		7,533		7,670
Convertible note due January 2017 at 4.71%		10,000		10,000
	$	27,533	$	27,670

The convertible notes contain an option which allows the FHLB, at quarterly intervals to change the note to an adjustable-rate advance at three month LIBOR plus 11 to 19 basis points. If the notes are converted, the option allows the Bank to put the funds back to the FHLB at no charge. The fixed rate borrowing due July 2015 includes a $533,000 fair value adjustment net of amortization, which was recorded at the time of the North Penn acquisition.

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

As of September 30, 2012, stockholders’ equity totaled $92.0 million, compared to $88.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The net change in stockholders’ equity included $6.6 million of net income, that was partially offset by $2.9 million of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $305,000 due to an increase in fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of tax. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates and spreads, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.

A comparison of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

September 30, 2012 December 31, 2011

Tier 1 Capital

(To average assets) 11.61% 11.29%

Tier 1 Capital

(To risk-weighted assets) 15.88% 15.86%

Total Capital

(To risk-weighted assets) 16.97% 17.04%

The minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC on the Bank for leverage, Tier 1 and Total Capital are 4%, 4% and 8%, respectively. The Company has similar capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Bank is also subject to more stringent Pennsylvania Department of Banking (PDB) guidelines. The Bank’s capital ratios do not differ significantly from the Company’s ratios. Although not adopted in regulation form, the PDB utilizes capital standards requiring a minimum of 6.5% leverage capital and 10% total capital. The Company and the Bank were in compliance with applicable FRB, FDIC and PDB capital requirements as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $35.3 million in the form of cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $147.6 million which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $182.9 million and represents 26.2% of total assets compared to $171.7 million and 25.7% of total assets as of December 31, 2011. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity is adequate.

Capital Resources

The Company has a line of credit commitment available from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh for borrowings of up to $20,000,000 which expires in December 2016. There were no borrowings under this line at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company has a line of credit commitment from Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for $7,000,000 which expires June 30, 2013. There were no borrowings under this line as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from PNC Bank for $16,000,000. There were no borrowings as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was approximately $260,000,000 as of September 30, 2012, of which $27,000,000 was outstanding at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on page 37 and 41. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2011

General

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net income totaled $2,200,000 compared to $2,215,000 earned in the similar period in 2011. The slight decrease was the result of additional loan loss provisions in the amount of $475,000 which offset improvements of $85,000 in non-interest income and $397,000 in non-interest expenses. Earnings per share for the current period were $.67 for basic and fully diluted which equaled the $.67 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were 1.27% and 9.54%, respectively, compared to 1.28% and 10.17%, respectively, for the similar period in 2011.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $6,560,000, a decrease of $13,000 from the similar period in 2011. The decrease in net interest income largely reflects the reduced earnings on loans and securities due to growth and reinvestment at current market rates. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.87% and 4.07%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 3.94% and 4.13%, respectively, for the similar period in 2011.

Interest income (fte) totaled $7,717,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.78% compared to $7,965,000 and 5.01% for the 2011 period. Average loans increased $21.4 million over the comparable period of last year but interest income was reduced by $248,000 due to a 59 basis point reduction in the yield earned on taxable securities and a 33 basis point decrease in the yield on loans. Average earning assets totaled $645.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $8.7 million over the average for the similar period in 2011. This increase in average earning assets helped offset the decline in asset yields.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $1,157,000 at an average cost of .91% compared to $1,392,000 and 1.07% for the similar period in 2011. As a result of the continued low interest rate environment, the Company further reduced rates paid on its money market and savings accounts, and cash management products, which are included in short-term borrowings. The cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, declined to 1.42% from 1.58% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current lower rates resulting in the decrease.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $900,000 compared to $425,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $1,334,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $347,000 for the similar period in 2011. The increase in the current period includes a $1.0 million write-down on a loan which had previously been modified as a Troubled Debt Restructuring and had been classified as substandard.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1,591,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1,506,000 for the similar period in 2011. The current period includes a $631,000 gain on the sale of investment securities compared to a $544,000 gain in the third quarter of 2011. Gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans increased $42,000 compared to the same quarter of last year. All other service charges and fees decreased $44,000 compared to the third quarter of last year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $3,957,000, or a decrease of $397,000 from $4,354,000 for the similar period in 2011. Foreclosed real estate costs decreased $395,000 due primarily to costs incurred on one property in 2011 that was subsequently disposed of.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $786,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the period ending September 30, 2012 compared to $775,000 for an effective tax rate of 25.6% for the similar period in 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2011

General

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net income totaled $6,644,000 compared to $5,359,000 earned in the similar period in 2011. Earnings per share for the current period were $2.03

for basic and $2.02 fully diluted compared to $1.79 per share for both basic and diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 1.30% and 9.80%, respectively, compared to 1.18% and 9.35%, respectively, for the similar period in 2011.

Net income nine months ended September 30, 2012	$	6,644

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $19,630,000, an increase of $2,414,000 or 14.0% from the similar period in 2011. The increase in net interest income largely reflects the increase in interest-earning assets from the North Penn acquisition, as well as loan growth recorded during the period. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.91% and 4.10%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 3.80% and 4.03%, respectively, for the similar period in 2011.

Interest income (fte) totaled $23,201,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.85% compared to $21,154,000 and 4.95% for the 2011 period. Residential mortgage rates have continued to decline causing a portion of the portfolio to refinance at lower rates, while much of the new growth was also recorded at rates lower than historic levels. As a result, the fte yield on average loans in the current period was 5.42%, a decrease from 5.68% in the 2011 period. The yield on investment securities also declined 31 basis points reflecting the reinvestment of cash flow, maturities and calls at the current lower rates. Average earning assets totaled $637.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 an increase of $68.4 million over the similar period in 2011. The growth in average earning assets helped offset the decline in loan and securities yields.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $3,571,000 at an average cost of .94% compared to $3,938,000 and 1.15% for the 2011 period. The Company reduced rates paid on its deposits by 16 basis points and short-term borrowings by 11 basis points. The cost of time deposits, which is the largest component of interest expense, was 1.41% for the 2012 period decreasing from 1.64% in 2011. This reflects time deposits maturing and repricing at the current lower rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,650,000 compared to $1,075,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. The increase in the provision was necessary to maintain the reserve at an adequate level after accounting for loan growth and charge-offs for the period ended September 30, 2012. Net charge-offs were $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.3 million for the similar period in 2011. In 2012, the total charge-offs included a $1.0 million write-down on a loan that had previously been modified as a Troubled Debt Restructuring and was classified as substandard. During the 2011 period the charge-off total was due primarily to one credit which had been carried in nonaccrual status.

Other Income

Other income totaled $4,088,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $3,707,000 for the similar period in 2011. The current period includes $143,000 in gains on the sale of $4.3 million of residential mortgage loans compared to $282,000 in similar gains on the sales of $8.7 million of mortgage loans in the 2011 period. Gains on the sale investment securities totaled $1,318,000 on sales of $23.3 million for the 2012 period compared to $768,000 of gains on sales of $27.7 million in the similar 2011 period. The proceeds from investment securities sales were reinvested to improve credit quality in the Company’s bond portfolio as well as to fund new securities purchases and loan growth.

Other Expense

Other expenses totaled $12,061,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 an increase of $237,000 compared to $11,824,000 for the similar period in 2011. The increase was due to costs related to the operation of five offices acquired from North Penn in 2011. Salary and benefit costs increased $638,000 due to the added staff while occupancy and equipment expenses rose $194,000. The majority of these increases were offset by a $753,000 decrease in merger related costs and a $224,000 decrease in foreclosed real estate expenses. The efficiency ratio for the 2012 period was 50.8% compared to 56.5% in the 2011 period due to the acquisition costs recorded in 2011.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $2,419,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.7% in the 2012 period compared to $1,811,000 and 25.3% in 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate reflects a 34% tax rate on $1,893,000 of additional pre-tax income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.

Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of September 30, 2012, the level of net interest income at risk in a 200 basis point change in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 8% of net interest income for a ± 200 basis point shift in interest rates.

Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had a positive 90 day interest sensitivity gap of $80.2 million or 11.5% of total assets, compared to the $76.7 million or 11.5% of total assets as of December 31, 2011. Rate sensitive assets repricing within 90 days increased $22.2 million due to a $12.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits, a $5.9 million increase in loans repricing within the period and a $3.9 million increase in securities repricing. Time deposits repricing within 90 days increased $9.1 million, while non-maturity interest bearing balances and other borrowings increased $9.6 million. A positive gap means that rate-sensitive assets are greater than rate-sensitive liabilities at the time interval. This would indicate that in a rising rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets could increase faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90 day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.
