HARLEYSVILLE
NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
– Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Harleysville
National Corporation (the Corporation) have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial condition, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and
cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, all normal recurring adjustments,
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements, have been included. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes in the Corporation’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of
operations presented for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2009. The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events
for recognition and/or disclosure through November 9, 2009, the date the
consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
were issued.
The
consolidated financial statements include the Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiaries-Harleysville National Bank (the Bank), HNC Financial Company and
HNC Reinsurance Company. Willow Financial Bancorp and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Willow Financial Bank (“collectively, “Willow Financial”) are
included in the Corporation’s results effective after the market close on
December 5, 2008. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation and certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the
income and expense in the income statements for the periods presented. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates. Critical estimates
include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and other
intangible assets impairment, stock-based compensation, fair value measurement
for investment securities available for sale, inclusive of other-than-temporary
impairment, and deferred income taxes.
For
additional information on other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an
Accounting Standards Codification update for fair value measurements and
disclosures relating to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset
value per share or its equivalent. The update offers guidance on how to use net
asset value per share to estimate the fair value of alternative investments
which do not have a readily determinable fair value such as hedge funds, private
equity funds, real estate funds, venture capital funds, offshore fund vehicles
and funds of funds. The update also requires additional disclosures regarding
attributes of these investments. This update is effective for periods ending
after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this update is not anticipated to have
a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
In August
2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Codification update for fair value
measurements and disclosures of liabilities. The update provided clarification
in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability is not available, requiring a reporting entity to measure fair value
using one or more of the specified techniques in the update. The guidance was
effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance or the fourth
quarter of 2009. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material
impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC or the
Codification) establishing the Codification as the source of authoritative U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be
applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities
laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the
effective date of this topic, the Codification superseded all existing
accounting and reporting standards other than guidance issued by the SEC. All
other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification became non-authoritative. The Codification was effective for
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have a material
impact on the Corporation’s financial statements, although references to
specific authoritative literature in financial statements were eliminated and
discussion of accounting concepts was enhanced.
Note 1
– Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
In June
2009, the FASB issued standards for accounting for transfers of financial assets
and amendments to guidance relating to consolidation of variable interest
entities. The standards change off-balance-sheet accounting of financial
instruments including the way entities account for securitizations and
special-purpose entities. The standards relating to accounting for transfers of
financial assets require more information about sales of securitized financial
assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to
the assets. They eliminate the concept of a “qualifying special purpose entity,”
change the requirement for derecognizing financial assets, and require sellers
of the assets to make additional disclosures about them. The guidance relating
to consolidation of variable interest entities alters how a company determines
when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through
voting should be consolidated. A company has to determine whether it should
provide consolidated reporting of any entity based upon the entity’s purpose and
design and the parent company’s ability to direct the entity’s actions. The
standards are effective at the start of the first fiscal year beginning after
November 15, 2009 and are not anticipated to have a material impact on the
Corporation’s financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued general standards of accounting and disclosure for
subsequent events. Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. The standards were effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the subsequent event
standards did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial statements
although they did result in expanded disclosure with regard to the date for
which subsequent events have been evaluated. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies, “Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation” for
additional information.
In April
2009, the FASB issued standards for 1) determining fair value when the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased and
identifying transactions that are not orderly; 2) recognition and presentation
of other-than-temporary impairments; and 3) interim disclosures about fair value
of financial instruments. These related guidance items were issued to clarify
the application of fair value measurement standards in the current economic
environment, modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt
securities, and require companies to disclose the fair values of financial
instruments in interim periods. These standards were effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for
periods ending after March 15, 2009, if all three standards or both the
fair-value measurements and other-than-temporary impairment standards were
adopted simultaneously. The Corporation adopted the provisions of these fair
value measurement standards in its quarter ended June 30, 2009 and they did not
have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements although they
did result in expanded disclosures.
Note
2 – Agreement and Plan of Merger
Pending
Merger with First Niagara Financial Group, Inc.
On July
27, 2009, the Corporation and First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. (“First
Niagara”), the holding company for First Niagara Bank, announced that they had
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated
July 26, 2009, which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the
Corporation will merge with and into First Niagara in a transaction valued at
approximately $237 million. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement,
shareholders of the Corporation will receive 0.474 shares of First Niagara stock
for each share of common stock they own, representing a premium of about 37.5%
based on the Corporation’s closing price on July 24, 2009 of $4.00 per share.
The exchange ratio is based on First Niagara’s five-day average closing stock
price of $11.60 on July 22, 2009. The exchange ratio is subject to downward
adjustment if loan delinquencies of Harleysville National Bank and Trust Company
exceed specified amounts. The Corporation recorded a goodwill impairment charge
of $214.5 million during the second quarter of 2009, resulting from the decrease
in market value caused by underlying capital and credit concerns which was
valued through the Merger Agreement. The impairment effectively constituted the
difference between the sale price of the Corporation to First Niagara for $5.50
per share, which established the fair value of the Corporation, compared to the
Corporation’s book value per share of $10.75 prior to the impairment charge with
further evaluation through the Corporation’s step two goodwill analysis. See
Note 5 – Goodwill and Other intangibles for further information.
The
Boards of Directors of the Corporation and First Niagara have approved the
Merger Agreement, but the transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and
other customary closing conditions, as well as the approval of the Corporation’s
shareholders at a special meeting. The merger is intended to qualify as
reorganization for federal income tax purposes, such that shares of the
Corporation exchanged for shares of First Niagara will be issued to the
Corporation’s shareholders on a tax-free basis. It is expected that the
transaction will be completed in the first quarter of 2010.
The
Merger Agreement provides for a downward adjustment to the merger consideration
to be received by the Corporation’s shareholders if the amount of the Bank’s
delinquent loans equals or exceeds $237.5 million as of any month end prior to
the closing date of the merger. For purposes of this calculation, “delinquent
loans” is defined as the sum of non-performing assets, loans 30 to 89 days
delinquent, and cumulative charge-offs subsequent to the signing of the
agreement. By this definition, at September 30, 2009, delinquent loans were
$193.3 million.
Note
3 – Dispositions/Acquisition
Loan
Sales
During the
third quarter of 2009, the Corporation sold first mortgage residential loans
held for investment of approximately $25.4 million for a net loss of $177,000.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation sold loans held for
investment of approximately $117.2 million for a net loss of $29,000. The sales
consisted of first mortgage residential loans totaling $81.0 million and
indirect consumer installment loans totaling $36.2 million. The loans were sold
without recourse and subject to customary sale conditions. The loan sales were
part of the Corporation’s strategy to reduce assets and thereby build capital
and increase liquidity. Additionally, the Corporation decided to exit from the
indirect lending business effective June 30, 2009 in order to use capital to
build relationship-based business with customers.
Acquisition
of Willow Financial Bancorp, Inc.
Effective
after the market close on December 5, 2008, the Corporation completed its
acquisition of Willow Financial Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Willow
Financial Bank (collectively, “Willow Financial”), a $1.6 billion savings bank
with 29 branch offices in southeastern Pennsylvania, was merged with and into
the Bank. In conjunction with this transaction, the Corporation also acquired
BeneServ, Inc., a provider of employee benefits services. The Corporation
acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Willow Financial. The Corporation
issued 11,515,366 shares of common stock, incurred $8.1 million in acquisition
costs which were capitalized and converted stock options with a fair value of
$2.0 million for a total purchase price of $168.9 million.
The
acquisition of Willow Financial was accounted for as a business combination
using the purchase method. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the
respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price included the direct costs
of the business combination. The excess of purchase
price over the fair value
of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill of $125.6 million was
recorded in this transaction with $124.1 million allocated to the Community
Banking segment and $1.5 million allocated to the Wealth Management segment. The
Corporation also recorded $11.9 million in core deposit intangibles and $2.9
million in other identifiable intangible assets which are being amortized over
ten years using the sum of the year’s digits amortization method. The $2.9
million of other identifiable intangibles were allocated to the Wealth
Management segment. The purchase price allocation is subject to revision in the
fourth quarter of 2009. The amount of goodwill recorded at December 31, 2008 was
reduced by $3.4 million and the core deposit intangible was reduced by $2.2
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of
additional information obtained for the valuation analysis and adjustments that
were necessary upon the filing of the final tax returns for Willow Financial.
The results of operations of Willow Financial have been included in the
Corporation’s results of operations since December 5, 2008, the date of
acquisition.
The
following are the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations of the
Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 as though
Willow Financial had been acquired on January 1, 2008:

Note
3 – Dispositions/Acquisition - Continued
The
Corporation assessed loans acquired from Willow Financial for evidence of credit
quality deterioration since origination and for which it was probable at
purchase that the Corporation would be unable to collect all contractually
required payments. The Corporation’s assessment identified $14.4 million in
acquired loans from Willow Financial which were considered impaired and were
written down to the present value of the amounts expected to be received at the
acquisition date. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Corporation’s
acquired impaired loans had an unpaid principal balance of $10.1 million and
$14.4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, these
loans had a carrying value of $6.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The
Corporation’s loan balance reflects net purchase accounting adjustments
resulting in a reduction in loans of $3.4 million related to acquired impaired
loans at September 30, 2009. Income recognition is dependent on having a
reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be
collected. The loans deemed impaired were considered collateral dependent,
however the timing of the sale of loan collateral is indeterminate and as such
the loans will remain on non-accrual status and will have no accretable yield.
The Corporation is using the cash basis method of interest income
recognition.
The
following are the loans acquired from Willow Financial for which it was probable
at September 30, 2009 that all contractually required payments would not be
collected:

Management
believes that the unrealized losses associated with the securities portfolio,
are temporary in nature since they are not related to the underlying credit of
the issuers, and the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these
investments for the time necessary to recover its cost which may be
until maturity (i.e. these investments have contractual maturities that,
absent credit default, ensure a recovery of cost). In making its other-than
temporary evaluation, management determined whether the expected cash flows
are affected by the underlying collateral or issuer. Other factors
considered in evaluating the securities portfolio for other-than-temporary
impairment are the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has
been below the cost, analyst reports, analysis of the current interest rate
environment, anticipated volatility in the market and the underlying credit
rating of the issuers. In certain cases where sufficient data is not available,
a cash flow model is utilized.
The
changes in the unrealized losses on securities were caused primarily by changes
in interest rates, credit spread and liquidity issues in the marketplace. As of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were 72 and 67 individual
securities, respectively, in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve
months or longer. The decrease in unrealized losses less than 12 months for
obligations of states and political subdivisions at September 30, 2009 as
compared to December 31, 2008 was mainly a result of changes in the current rate
environment and municipal spreads which resulted in substantially increased fair
values during 2009. The Corporation recognized other-than-temporary
impairment (OTTI) charges totaling $4.7 million during the third quarter of 2009
mainly as a result of deterioration in two collateralized debt obligation
investments in pooled trust preferred securities. One of these trust preferred
securities was already deemed impaired in prior periods and the additional
trust preferred security was determined to be impaired during
Note
4 – Investment Securities - Continued
the third
quarter of 2009. As relevant observable inputs did not exist, a cash flow model
was utilized to determine the fair value of the impaired
securities.
On a
quarterly basis, the Corporation formally evaluates its investment securities
for other-than-temporary impairment. Effective April 1, 2009, for securities
deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the Corporation uses cash flow
modeling to determine the credit portion of the loss. The credit portion of the
loss is recognized in earnings and the noncredit portion on securities not
expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit
related OTTI recognized in earnings during the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 was $4.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively. These
impairment charges related primarily to collateralized debt obligations and
collateralized mortgage obligations which the Corporation does not intend to
sell and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to
sell before recovery of their amortized costs basis less any current-period
credit loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Corporation recognized a reduction of noncredit related OTTI in other
comprehensive income of $393,000 and $7.0 million, respectively.
The
following table provides a cumulative roll forward of credit losses recognized
in earnings for debt securities held and not intended to be sold:

Regarding the
securities on which the Corporation recorded OTTI charges in the fourth quarter
of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, prior to adoption of the new OTTI
requirements at April 1, 2009, the Corporation does not intend to sell the
securities and it is not more likely than not that the Corporation will be
required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized costs basis
less any current-period credit loss. The securities were assessed to determine
the amount of OTTI representing credit losses and the amount related to all
other factors. It was determined that the noncredit related OTTI
was not material to the financial statements. As such, a prior period
cumulative effect adjustment was not recorded through retained earnings in the
June 30, 2009 reporting period.
The
Corporation utilizes a third party valuation specialist to determine fair value
for those securities which have insufficient observable market data available.
In order to determine the fair value of these securities, the third party
valuation specialist performs a discounted cash flow analysis. All
relevant data inputs and the appropriateness of key model assumptions are
reviewed by management. These assumptions include, but are not limited to
collateral performance projections, historical and projected defaults, and
discounted cash flow modeling.
The discount rate is
calculated utilizing current and observable market spreads for comparable
structured credit products.
On a
quarterly basis, all pooled trust preferred security investments for which the
fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost basis are reviewed
for OTTI. For those securities in a loss position, a detailed
analysis is performed by management to assess them for OTTI as described
below. Management will also assess whether it expects to sell the
security before recovery of amortized cost less current period credit
loss.
In evaluating
the pooled trust preferred securities for credit related OTTI, the Corporation
considered the following:
·
|
The
length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than
the amortized cost basis
|
·
|
Adverse
conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or geographic
area
|
·
|
The
historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the
security
|
·
|
The
payment structure of the debt
security
|
·
|
Failure
of the underlying issuers to make scheduled interest or principal
payments
|
·
|
Any
changes to the rating of the
security
|
·
|
Recoveries
or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet
date.
|
After
evaluating the criteria above, if certain ratios such as excess collateral,
excess subordination and principal shortfall and interest shortfall conditions
suggest an uncertainty of future recovery of principal and interest, a
discounted cash flow model is obtained from the Corporation’s third party
investment advisor. The excess collateral, excess subordination, principal
shortfall and interest shortfall ratios are obtained from the Corporation’s
third party investment advisor and evaluated by management as a part of the
quarterly tranche analysis prepared for each debt security. The principal and
interest shortfall ratios reflect the percentage of paying collateral that can
be absorbed by defaults prior to the collection of the full contractual payments
would be in doubt.
The excess subordination
calculation is derived by the Corporation’s third party investment advisor and
represents the remaining subordination available for the Corporation’s tranche
after full repayment of principal due to more senior tranches. This information
is significant and meaningful in the Corporation’s OTTI evaluation process as
the excess subordination can be utilized to cover any projected principal and
interest shortfalls caused by significant expected defaults in the portfolio.
The lack of excess subordination for the Corporation’s tranche, or negative
subordination, is likely to be a significant indicator of potential OTTI for a
particular investment if significant expected future principal and interest
shortfalls exist.
Note
4 – Investment Securities - Continued
For every
debt security which fails the Corporation’s initial test for OTTI, a discounted
cash flow analysis is performed by our third-party investment
advisor. When a discounted cash flow analysis is performed, the
following assumptions are utilized:
·
|
Discount
rate equal to original coupon spread for the respective security using
forward LIBOR rates;
|
·
|
Each
piece of underlying collateral with existing deferrals/defaults is
evaluated individually for future recovery and the recovery rate is
adjusted accordingly; and
|
·
|
Additional
deferrals/defaults are assumed based upon evaluation of underlying
performing collateral. The Corporation obtains and evaluates financial
data pertinent to each piece of collateral including analysis of
profitability, credit quality, operating efficiency, leverage, and
liquidity using the most recently available financial and regulatory
information. The Corporation also evaluates historical industry default
data obtained from its third-party investment advisors and assesses the
impact of current market
conditions.
|
Based upon
the results of the discounted cash flow analysis, it is determined whether or
not the investment return upon debt expiration is at or above par. If the
resulting return is below par, a credit related impairment charge is recorded
through operations.
For the
collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio, a detailed analysis is performed
involving a review of delinquency data in relation to projected current credit
enhancement and coverage levels based upon certain stress
factors. This analysis includes a review of third-party investment
summary reports to assess the length of time in a loss position and changes in
credit ratings. If the calculated principal loss exceeds the current credit
enhancement, additional evaluation is required to determine what, if any
impairment would be recorded. In order to determine the existence of OTTI,
related data such as foreclosures, bankruptcy and real estate owned is analyzed
to calculate a default percentage. Based upon completion of the stressed
discounted cash flow analysis performed on three collateralized mortgage
obligation investments, credit related OTTI charges on collateralized mortgage
obligations totaling $130,000 and $813,000 were recorded for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The OTTI charges were recorded as
the full contractual principal due is not expected to be recovered upon maturity
of the security. The credit related OTTI charge was recorded for the portion
deemed uncollectible.
For the
other debt securities in the Corporation’s portfolio, while several are in an
unrealized loss position, the analysis supports the Corporation’s assumption
that future cashflows will not be impacted and the full amount of contractual
principal and interest payments will be realized upon maturity.

trust preferred pools/collateralized debt obligations:

|
Projected
future principal and interest payments exceeds balance of outstanding
notes; therefore, no indication of other-than-temporary impairment
exists.
|
In
evaluating pooled trust preferred securities for other-than-temporary
impairment, the Corporation initially evaluates the excess subordination as well
as projected future defaults compared to the amount of future interest and
principal shortfall that can occur before a potential impairment exists. In this
initial evaluation, a maximum recovery rate of 10% is assumed for actual and
projected deferrals/defaults. In addition, future defaults and deferrals of 15%
are assumed on remaining performing collateral. These assumptions are
management’s judgment based upon historical experience along with information
provided by its third-party investment advisors.
None of
the securities in the table above had excess subordination at September 30,
2009. In each of these cases, as footnoted in the table, either a discounted
cash flow analysis was performed or sufficient coverage of projected future
deferrals/defaults existed within the expected future principal and interest
payments. In the case of two of these securities, as noted above, the discounted
cash flow analysis resulted in a credit related impairment charge to
operations.
Securities
with a carrying value of $798.1 million and $1.0 billion at September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds,
customer trust funds, government deposits and repurchase agreements. At
September 30, 2009, securities with a carrying value of $180.3 million were
pledged as partial collateral for FHLB borrowings. See Note 6 – Federal Home
Loan Bank Advances for additional information.
Accrued
interest receivable on investment securities was $6.6 million and $8.5 million
at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The
Corporation also holds investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
(FHLB) stock totaling $31.3 million as of September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008. The Corporation is required to maintain a minimum amount of FHLB stock as
determined by its borrowing levels. As the FHLB stock is not a marketable
instrument, it does not have a readily marketable determinable fair value and is
not accounted for in a similar manner to other investment securities. FHLB stock
is generally viewed as a long-term investment with its value based on the
ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary
declines in value. The Corporation considers criteria in determining the
ultimate recoverability of the par value such as 1) the significance of the
decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount and
the 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, 3) the impact of regulatory
changes on the FHLB and on its customer base, and 4) the liquidity position of
the FHLB. The Corporation has considered the FHLB’s announcement on December 23,
2008 of the suspension of its dividend and capital stock repurchases in the
assessment for impairment. Despite the significant decline in net assets of the
FHLB and the corresponding decline in equity balances, the capital ratios for
the FHLB remain above regulatory required levels. Liquidity levels of the FHLB
appear appropriate and the future operating performance is expected to support
the anticipated level of common stock redemptions. In addition, FHLB
institutions are generally not required to redeem membership stock until five
years after the membership is terminated. Based upon review of the
most recent financial statements of FHLB Pittsburgh, management believes it is
unlikely that the stock would be redeemed in the future at a price below its par
value and therefore management believes that no impairment is necessary related
to the FHLB stock at September 30, 2009.
Note
5 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill
and identifiable intangibles were $22.8 million and $20.6 million, respectively
at September 30, 2009, and $240.7 million and $26.2 million, respectively at
December 31, 2008. The goodwill and identifiable intangibles balances resulted
from acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Corporation recorded purchase accounting adjustments related to the Willow
Financial acquisition which reduced goodwill by $3.4 million and reduced the
core deposit intangible by $2.2 million. For further information related to
acquisitions, see Note 3 – Dispositions/Acquisition. Also, during the second
quarter of 2009, the Corporation recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $214.5
million related to the Community Banking segment, resulting from the decrease in
market value arising in the second quarter of 2009 caused by underlying capital
and credit concerns which was valued through the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated July 26, 2009 between First Niagara and the Corporation in which the
Corporation will be merged into First Niagara. This impairment was determined
based upon the announced sale price of the Corporation to First Niagara for
$5.50 per share. For further information related to the merger, see Note 2 –
Agreement and Plan of Merger.

Management
performs a review of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles for potential
impairment on an annual basis, or more often, if events or circumstances
indicate there may be impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the
reporting unit level and an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the
carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Prior to the
announcement of the merger agreement with First Niagara, the annual impairment
analysis had been completed during the second quarter of 2009 and management was
in the process of assessing potential triggering events that may have occurred
subsequent to that annual measurement. The possible triggering events that were
under evaluation included the continued decline of stock price accompanied by
the communication of Individual Minimum Capital Ratio requirements from the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This analysis was superseded as the
announced merger provided an actual fair value for the Corporation. No
impairment was identified relating to the Corporation’s Wealth Management
segment or other identifiable intangible assets as a part of this annual
review.
The
amortization of core deposit intangibles allocated to the Community Banking
segment was $901,000 and $390,000 for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and $2.7 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of identifiable
intangibles related to the Wealth Management segment totaled $263,000 and
$130,000 for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $788,000 and
$422,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense for core deposit
and other identifiable intangibles will be $3.7 million, $3.3 million, $2.7
million, $2.3 million and $2.6 million for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2103,
respectively.
Mortgage
servicing rights of $2.1 million and $1.6 million at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively are included on the Corporation’s balance sheet
in other intangible assets and subsequently measured using the amortization
method. The mortgage servicing rights had a fair value of $2.1 million and $1.6
million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Servicing
assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of net servicing
income and assessed for impairment based on fair value at each reporting period.
As a result of these assessments, the Corporation recorded an impairment of
$308,000 and $20,000 during the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively
related to the valuation of its mortgage servicing on its consolidated
statements of operations and a reduction of intangibles expense of $788,000 and
an impairment of $7,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Corporation recorded amortization of mortgage servicing rights
in intangibles expense on its consolidated statements of operations of $198,000
and $138,000 for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $647,000
and $383,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Note
6 – Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Trust Preferred Subordinated
Debentures
Federal
Home Loan Bank Advances
FHLB
advances totaled $471.9 million and $522.7 million at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, all of which were long-term. Commencing in July
2009, the FHLB required the Corporation’s outstanding borrowings with the FHLB
be fully collateralized. Any future borrowings with the FHLB are also required
to be fully collateralized. At September 30, 2009, investment securities
consisting of agency mortgage-backed securities and private label collateralized
mortgage obligations with a carrying value of $180.3 million and real estate
loans with a carrying value of $745.3 million were pledged as collateral for
FHLB borrowings. The securities and loan collateral are subject to varying
market and collateral value haircuts determined by the FHLB based on the asset.
At December 31, 2008, the FHLB advances were collateralized by unpledged levels
of securities and loans.
Trust
Preferred Subordinated Debentures
As of
September 30, 2009, the Corporation has six statutory trust affiliates
(collectively, the Trusts). These trusts were formed to issue mandatorily
redeemable trust preferred securities to investors and loan the proceeds to the
Corporation for general corporate purposes. The Trusts hold, as their sole
assets, subordinated debentures of the Corporation totaling $105.5 million at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The trust preferred securities
represent undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trusts. The
financial statement carrying value of the trust preferred subordinated
debentures, net of a purchase accounting fair value adjustment of approximately
$15.0 million from the acquisition of Willow Financial, is $93.8 million at
September 30, 2009 and $93.7 million at December 31, 2008. The
Corporation owns all of the trust preferred securities of the Trusts and has
accordingly recorded $3.3 million in other assets on the consolidated balance
sheets at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 representing its investment
in the common securities of the Trusts. As the shareholders of the trust
preferred securities are the primary beneficiaries, the Trusts qualify as
variable interest entities and are not consolidated in the Corporation’s
financial statements.
The trust
preferred securities require quarterly distributions to the holders of the trust
preferred securities at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate on the
debentures held by that trust. The Corporation has the right to defer payment of
interest on the debentures, at any time or from time to time for a period not
exceeding five years, provided that no extension period may extend beyond the
stated maturity of the debentures. During any such extension period,
distributions on the trust securities will also be deferred, and the Corporation
shall not pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase or acquire any
shares of its capital stock. The Corporation has formally elected to defer
quarterly interest payments on five of its six series of outstanding
subordinated debentures until further notice as of the time of the issuance of
this report, beginning with the interest payments that were due on September 15,
2009. This action was taken to conserve capital and in accordance with a
directive from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (Reserve Bank) to the
Corporation, precluding the Corporation from making any interest payments on the
subordinated debt associated with trust preferred securities without the prior
written approval of the Reserve Bank. Interest continues to be accrued although
the interest payments are being deferred. The Corporation intends to resume
interest payments prior to the acquisition of the Corporation by First Niagara
which is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2010. As of September 30,
2009, interest payments on East Penn Statutory Trust I and Willow Grove
Statutory Trust I totaling $206,000 were due and deferred. Accrued interest
payable on subordinated debentures amounted to $857,000 and $1.8 million at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The trust
preferred securities must be redeemed upon the stated maturity dates of the
subordinated debentures. The Corporation may redeem the debentures, in whole but
not in part, (except for Harleysville Statutory Trust II and Willow Grove
Statutory Trust I which may be redeemed in whole or in part) at any time within
90 days at the specified special event redemption price following the occurrence
of a capital disqualification event, an investment company event or a tax event
as set forth in the indentures relating to the trust preferred securities and in
each case subject to regulatory approval. For HNC Statutory Trust II, III and
IV, East Penn Statutory Trust I and Willow Grove Statutory Trust I, the
Corporation also may redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, at the stated
optional redemption dates (after five years from the issuance date) and
quarterly thereafter, subject to regulatory approval if required. The optional
redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures
being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the debentures to the
redemption date. For Harleysville Statutory Trust I, the Corporation may redeem
the debt securities, in whole or in part, at the stated optional redemption date
of February 22, 2011 and semi-annually thereafter, subject to regulatory
approval if required. The redemption price on February 22, 2011 is equal to
105.10% of the principal amount, and declines annually to 100.00% on
February 22, 2021 and thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
debentures to the redemption date. The Corporation’s obligations under the
debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by the Corporation of the Trust’s obligations under the
trust preferred securities.

7 - Pension Plans
The
Corporation had a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. The plan’s benefits were based on years of service
and the employee’s average compensation during any five consecutive years within
the ten-year period preceding retirement. On October 31, 2007, the Corporation
announced that it formally amended its pension plan to provide for its
termination. Employees ceased to accrue additional pension benefits as of
December 31, 2007, and pension benefits are not being provided under a successor
pension plan. All retirement benefits earned in the pension plan as of December
31, 2007 were preserved and all participants became fully vested in their
benefits upon plan termination.
The Corporation recorded a
one-time pre-tax charge related to the pension plan curtailment of approximately
$1.9 million in 2007.
On July 3, 2008, the Corporation purchased $896,000
of terminal funding annuity contracts for participants in pay status at that
time. During 2008, the majority of assets were distributed to those participants
that elected lump sum payments.
In March
2009, the Corporation made a final contribution of $371,000 to the pension plan,
which together with the remaining plan assets, was utilized to purchase $435,000
in terminal funding annuity contracts for any remaining participants entering
pay status. No further contributions are required to this pension
plan.
The
Corporation maintains a 401(k) defined contribution retirement savings plan
which allows employees to contribute a portion of their compensation on a
pre-tax and/or after-tax basis in accordance with specified guidelines. The
Corporation previously matched 50% of pre-tax employee contributions up to a
maximum of 3% and additionally all eligible employees previously received a
company funded basic contribution to the 401(k) plan equal to 2% of eligible
earnings. On March 12, 2009, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the 401(k) plan providing for the suspension of the Corporation’s
basic and matching contributions effective for the April 17, 2009 employee
bi-weekly pay period until further notice by the Board of Directors. The
Corporation expects suspension of employer contributions will result in
retirement-related expense savings of approximately $1.8 million during 2009.
Contribution charged to earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, were $0 and $396,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $685,000 and $1.3 million,
respectively.
Willow
Financial Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In
connection with the acquisition of Willow Financial on December 5, 2008, the
Corporation assumed the Willow Financial Bank 401(k)/ Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP). As of December 5, 2008, the 401(k)/ESOP was frozen with termination
and final distributions pending approval by the appropriate regulatory
authorities. No additional contributions to the plan will be accepted, but loan
repayments by participants are permitted. At December 5, 2008, the ESOP portion
of the plan had two outstanding loans with a total principal balance of $4.2
million due to Willow Financial Bancorp, Inc. The shares originally purchased
with the loan funds were held in a suspense account for allocation among the
participants as the loans are repaid. Shares released from the loan collateral
were in an amount proportional to repayment of the original ESOP loans. At
September 30, 2009, there were 324,113 unallocated ESOP shares remaining to be
utilized to pay down the remaining loan principal balance. Upon repayment of the
loans, any remaining shares will be allocated to the
participants.
Note
8 – Authorized Shares of Common Stock and Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan
On May
12, 2009, the Corporation amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the
number of authorized shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value, $1.00
per share, from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares. The amendment was previously
approved and adopted by the Corporation’s shareholders at the annual meeting of
shareholders held on April 28, 2009.
On March
12, 2009, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the
Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP) designed to
provide additional benefits for existing shareholders. Beginning April 6, 2009,
shareholders could reinvest all or part of their dividends in additional shares
of common stock or make additional cash investments for a minimum of $100 and up
to $100,000 per calendar quarter, an increase from the prior quarterly
limitation of $5,000. In addition, beginning April 6, 2009, existing
shareholders could receive a ten percent discount to the market price of the
Corporation’s shares on the date shares are purchased. The ten percent discount
to the market price was available for all investments made in the Corporation’s
shares through the Corporation’s DRIP. This action was part of the Corporation’s
ongoing capital enhancement program. On April 28, 2009, the Board of Directors
suspended the DRIP until further notice.
Note 9
–
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Corporation has four shareholder approved fixed stock option plans that allow
the Corporation to grant options up to an aggregate of 3,797,861 shares of
common stock to key employees and directors. At September 30, 2009,
2,577,252
stock
options had been granted under the stock option plans. The options have a term
of ten years when issued and typically vest over a five-year period. The options
granted during 2008 have a term of seven years and vest over three years.
The exercise price of each
option is the market price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant.
Additionally, at September 30, 2009, the Corporation had 556,506 assumed stock
options from the Willow Financial acquisition completed in 2008. The options
have a term of ten years and are exercisable at prices ranging from $5.19 to
$22.34. Also, at September 30, 2009, the Corporation had 25,480 assumed stock
options from the East Penn Financial acquisition completed in 2007. The options
have a term of ten years and are exercisable at prices ranging from $5.94 to
$13.07.
The
Corporation recognizes compensation expense for stock options over the requisite
service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards expected to
ultimately vest. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and revised if
actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original
estimates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no
options granted.
For
grants subject to a service condition, the Corporation utilizes the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on
the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise
price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying
stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the
current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the
option.
For
grants subject to a market condition that were awarded in 2007, the Corporation
utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value and determine the
derived service period. Compensation is recognized over the derived service
period with any unrecognized compensation cost immediately recognized when the
market condition is met. These awards vest when the Corporation’s common stock
reaches targeted average trading prices for 30 days within five years from the
grant date. Vesting cannot commence before six months from the grant date. The
term and exercise price of the options are the same as previously mentioned. The
fair value and derived service period (the median period in which the market
condition is met) were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation taking into
consideration the weighted average dividend yield based on historical data,
weighted-average expected volatility based on historical data, the risk-free
rate, the weighted average expected life of the option and a uniform
post-vesting exercise rate (mid-point of vesting and contractual
term).
Expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Corporation’s stock over
the expected life of the grant. The risk-free rate for periods within the
expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate in effect
at the time of the grant. The life of the option is based on historical factors
which include the contractual term, vesting period, exercise behavior and
employee terminations.
Stock-based
compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest and
therefore has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The Corporation estimates
forfeitures using historical data based upon the groups identified by
management. Stock-based compensation expense was $76,000 and $40,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $231,000 and
$125,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

(Loss) Earnings Per
Share
Basic
(loss) earnings per share excludes dilution and are computed by dividing (loss)
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.
The

te 12 – Segment
Information
The
Corporation operates two main lines of business along with several other
operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise, which
are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to
allocate and assess resources and performance. The Corporation’s chief operating
decision-maker is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Corporation has
determined it has two reportable business segments: Community Banking and Wealth
Management.
The
Community Banking segment provides financial services to consumers, businesses
and governmental units primarily in southeastern Pennsylvania and the Lehigh
Valley of Pennsylvania. These services include full-service banking, comprised
of accepting time and demand deposits, making secured and unsecured commercial
loans, mortgages, consumer loans, and other banking services. The treasury
function income is included in the Community Banking segment, as the majority of
effort and activity of this function is related to this segment. Primary sources
of income include net interest income and service fees on deposit accounts.
Expenses include costs to manage credit and interest rate risk, personnel, and
branch operational and technical support.
The
Wealth Management segment includes: trust and investment management services,
providing investment management, trust and fiduciary services, estate settlement
and executor services, financial planning, and retirement plan and institutional
investment services; employee benefits services; and the Cornerstone Companies,
registered investment advisors for high net worth, privately held business
owners, wealthy families and institutional clients. Major revenue component
sources include investment management and advisory fees, trust fees, estate and
tax planning fees, brokerage fees, and insurance related fees. Expenses
primarily consist of personnel and support
charges.
Additionally, the Wealth Management segment includes an inter-segment credit
related to trust deposits which are maintained within the Community Banking
segment using a transfer pricing methodology.
The
Corporation has also identified several other operating segments. These
operating segments within the Corporation’s operations do not have similar
characteristics to the Community Banking or Wealth Management segments and do
not meet the quantitative thresholds requiring separate disclosure. These
non-reportable segments include HNC Reinsurance Company, HNC Financial Company,
and the parent holding company and are included in the “Other”
category.

The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies disclosed in the Corporation’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Consolidating
adjustments reflecting certain eliminations of inter-segment revenues, cash and
investment in subsidiaries are included in the “All Other” segment.
Note
13 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
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 standby letters of credit.
Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they
become payable. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes
of financial instruments.
The Bank
records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting
for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the
derivative, whether the Bank has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging
relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has
satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives
designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular
risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives
designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected
future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered
cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the
timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the
recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability
that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings
effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Bank may
enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain
of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Bank elects not
to apply hedge accounting.
The
Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amounts
of those instruments. The Bank uses the same stringent credit policies in
extending these commitments as they do for recorded financial instruments and
controls exposure to loss through credit approval and monitoring procedures.
These commitments often expire without being drawn upon and often are secured
with appropriate collateral; therefore, the total commitment amount does not
necessarily represent the actual risk of loss or future cash
requirements.

approximate contract amounts are as follows:

The Bank
is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed rate assets due
to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Bank uses interest rate swaps to
manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable
to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as
fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a
counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed-rate payments over the life
of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of
September 30, 2009, the Bank had a fair value hedge in the form of an interest
rate swap with a current notional amount of $1.8 million which matures in 2017.
In addition, four fair value hedges with current notional amounts totaling $7.1
million were acquired from Willow Financial with maturity dates ranging from
2013 to 2016. These swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and thus
all changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations. As such, based on the increase in the market value of
these interest rate swaps, the Corporation recognized a loss of $75,000 and a
gain of $223,000 in other income in the consolidated statements of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 2009, respectively.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss
on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item
attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The Bank includes
the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item as the offsetting
loss or gain on the related derivatives.
Derivatives
not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Bank
provides to certain customers. The Bank executes interest rate swaps
with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management
strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting
interest rate swaps that the Bank executes with a third party, such that the
Bank minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the
interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge
accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps
and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of September
30, 2009, the Bank had 48 interest rate swaps with an aggregate current notional
amount of $200.7 million related to this program with maturity dates ranging
from 2010 to 2018.

The Bank
is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and
economic conditions. The Bank principally manages its exposures to a wide
variety of business and operational risks through management of its core
business activities. The Bank manages economic risks, including interest rate,
liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and
duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial
instruments. Specifically, the Bank enters into derivative financial instruments
to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of
which are determined by interest rates. The Bank’s derivative financial
instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration
of the Bank’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash
payments principally related to certain variable rate loan assets and variable
rate borrowings.
The Bank
has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a
provision where if the Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness, including
default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the
lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default on its derivative
obligations. The Bank has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties
that contain provisions that require the Bank’s debt to maintain an investment
grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Bank’s
credit rating is reduced below investment grade then, the Bank may be required
to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instrument. Certain
of the Bank's agreements with some of its derivative counterparties contain
provisions where if a specified event or condition occurs that materially
changes the Bank's creditworthiness in an adverse manner, the Bank may be
required to fully collateralize its obligations under the derivative instrument.
The Bank has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that
contain a provision where if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well /
adequate capitalized institution, then the Bank could be required to settle its
obligation under the agreements.
As of
September 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position,
which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance
risk, related to these agreements was $4.8 million. As of September 30, 2009,
the Bank has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its
derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $4.0 million against its
obligations under these agreements.
Note

The Bank
also had commitments with customers to extend mortgage loans at a specified rate
at September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $52.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively,
and commitments to sell mortgage loans at a specified rate at September 30, 2009
and 2008 of $92.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The commitments are
accounted for as a derivative and recorded at fair value. The Bank estimates the
fair value of these commitments by comparing the secondary market price at the
reporting date to the price specified in the contract to extend or sell the loan
initiated at the time of the loan commitment. At September 30, 2009, the
Corporation had commitments with a positive fair value of $228,000 and negative
fair value of $369,000, the net amount which was recorded as a reduction of
other income on the consolidated statements of operations. At September 30,
2008, the Corporation had commitments with a positive fair value of $38,000 and
a negative fair value of $4,000, the net amount which was recorded in other
income on the consolidated statements of operations.
Note
14 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair value of its
financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy. The Corporation
maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs are used to measure
fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is
based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value
measurement.
Level 1 -
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement
date.
Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not
active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially
the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are developed
using the reporting entities’ estimates and assumptions, which reflect those
that market participants would use.
Assets
and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
A
description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments
measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the classification of
the instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, are as
follows:
Securities
Available for Sale
Securities
classified as available for sale are reported using Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3
inputs. Level 1 instruments generally include equity securities valued based on
quoted market prices in active markets. Level 2 instruments include U.S.
government agency obligations, state and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed
securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate bonds. For these
securities, the Corporation obtains fair value measurements from an independent
pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may
include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield
curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment
speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other
things. Level 3 instruments include certain collateralized debt obligations and
collateralized mortgage obligations that were valued using a discounted cash
flow model prepared by third party investment valuation specialists. All
collateralized debt obligations were transferred into Level 3 during 2009 due to
lack of observable inputs in the marketplace. See Note 4 – Investment
Securities for additional information.
Residential
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Residential
mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at estimated fair value. The Corporation estimates the fair value of
mortgage loans held for sale using current secondary loan market rates. The
Corporation has determined that the inputs used to value its mortgage loans held
for sale fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Financial
Instruments
Currently,
the Corporation uses cash flow hedges, fair value hedges and interest rate caps
to manage its interest rate
risk. The valuation of
these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques
including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each
derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives,
including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs,
including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied
volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the
market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts
(or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts).
The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future
interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate
curves.
Note 14 – Fair Value
Measurements
–
Continued
The fair
values of interest rate options are determined using the market standard
methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if
variable interest rates fell below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors
(caps). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected
receipts on the floor (cap) are based on an expectation of future interest rates
derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The
Corporation incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect
both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s
nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value
of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the
Corporation has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit
enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and
guarantees.
Although
the Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its
derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit
valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs,
such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of
default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2009, the
Corporation has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation
adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has
determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the
overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Corporation has
determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The
Corporation also has commitments with customers to extend mortgage loans at a
specified rate and commitments to sell mortgage loans at a specified rate. These
interest rate and forward contracts for mortgage loans originated and intended
for sale in the secondary market are accounted for as derivatives and carried at
estimated fair value. The Corporation estimates the fair value of the contracts
using current secondary loan market rates. The Corporation has determined that
the inputs used to value its interest rate and forward contracts fall within
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets
Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
A
description of the valuation methodologies and classification levels used for
financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are listed
below. These listed instruments are subject to fair value adjustments
(impairment) as they are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Impaired
Loans
Impaired
loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired,
at the lower of cost or market value. Individually impaired loans are measured
based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The
value of the collateral is determined based on an appraisal by qualified
licensed appraisers hired by the Corporation or other observable market data
which is readily available in the marketplace. Impaired loans are reviewed and
evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted
accordingly. At September 30, 2009, impaired loans had a carrying amount of
$157.4 million with a valuation allowance of $25.7 million. Impaired loans with
a carrying amount of $154.0 million were evaluated during the nine months of
2009 using the practical expedient fair value measurement which resulted in an
additional valuation allowance of $25.1 million as compared to December 31,
2008.
Goodwill
and Other Identifiable Intangibles
The
Corporation employs general industry practices in evaluating the fair value of
its goodwill and other identifiable intangibles. The Corporation calculates the
fair value, with the assistance of a third party specialist, using a combination
of the following valuation methods: dividend discount analysis under the income
approach, which calculates the present value of all excess cash flows plus the
present value of a terminal value and market multiples (pricing ratios) under
the market approach. In 2009, management performed its annual review of goodwill
and other identifiable intangibles. Management performed its review by reporting
unit and identified goodwill impairment for the Community Banking segment of
$214.5 million. This impairment resulted from the decrease in market value
caused by underlying capital and credit concerns and was determined based upon
the announced sale price of the Corporation to First Niagara for $5.50 per
share. No impairment was identified relating to the Corporation’s Wealth
Management segment or to other identifiable intangible assets as a part of this
annual review.
Note 14 – Fair Value
Measurements
–
Continued
Mortgage
Servicing Rights
The
Corporation estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights based upon the
present value of future cash flows using a current market discount rate
appropriate for each investor group. Some of the primary components in valuing a
servicing portfolio are estimates of anticipated prepayment, current market
yields for servicing, reinvestment rate, servicing spread retained on the loans,
and the cost to service each loan.
The
Corporation’s portfolio consists primarily of fixed rate loans with a remittance
type of schedule/actual and a weighted average servicing fee of .25%. The market
value calculation was based on long term prepayment assumptions obtained from
Bloomberg for similar pools based on original term, remaining term, and coupon.
Where prepayment assumptions for loan pools could not be obtained, projections
based on current prepayments, secondary loan market, and input from servicing
buyers were used. The Corporation has determined that the inputs used to value
its mortgage servicing rights fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
At September 30, 2009, the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights had a
carrying amount of $2.1 million. Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at lower
of cost or market.

Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
Corporation discloses on an interim basis, the estimated fair value of its
assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the
Corporation, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and
liabilities are considered financial instruments. However, many such instruments
lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller
engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Corporation’s general
practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and not to
engage in trading or sales activities, except for certain loans and investments.
Therefore, the Corporation had to use significant estimates and present value
calculations to prepare this disclosure.
Changes
in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially
affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not
be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of
permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This
lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating
financial instrument fair values.
Estimated
fair values have been determined by the Corporation using the best available
data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial
instruments. The estimation methodologies used at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 are outlined below. The methodologies for estimating the fair
value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair
value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed in the fair value
measurements section above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value
for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the cash surrender value of
life insurance policies. The methodologies for other financial assets and
financial liabilities are discussed below:
Short-term
financial instruments
The
carrying value of short-term financial instruments including cash and due from
banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell,
interest-bearing deposits in banks and other short-term investments and
borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial
instruments generally expose the Corporation to limited credit risk and have no
stated maturities or have short-term maturities with interest rates that
approximate market rates.
Note 14 – Fair Value
Measurements
–
Continued
Investment
securities held to maturity
The
estimated fair values of investment securities held to maturity are based on
quoted market prices, provided by independent third parties that specialize in
those investment sectors. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated
fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.
Loans
The loan
portfolio, net of unearned income, has been valued by a third party specialist
using quoted market prices, if available. When market prices were not available,
a credit risk based present value discounted cash flow analysis was utilized.
The primary assumptions utilized in this analysis are the discount rate based on
the LIBOR curve, adjusted for credit risk, and prepayment estimates based on
factors such as refinancing incentives, age of the loan and seasonality. These
assumptions were applied by loan category and different spreads were applied
based upon prevailing market rates by category.
Deposits
The
estimated fair values of demand deposits (i.e., interest and noninterest-bearing
checking accounts, savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal
to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying
amounts). The fair value for certificates of deposit was calculated by an
independent third party by discounting contractual cash flows using current
market rates for instruments with similar maturities, using a credit based risk
model. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable
approximates fair value.
Long-term
borrowings and subordinated debt
The
amounts assigned to long-term borrowings and subordinated debt were based on
quoted market prices, when available, or were based on discounted cash flow
calculations using prevailing market interest rates for debt of similar
terms.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The
following is management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in
the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its
accompanying consolidated financial statements for Harleysville National
Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries-Harleysville
National Bank (the Bank), HNC Financial Company and HNC Reinsurance Company. The
Corporation’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist
almost entirely of the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative, of similar
performance in the future. These are unaudited financial statements and, as
such, are subject to year-end audit review.
Within
this Form 10-Q, management may make projections and forward-looking statements
regarding events or the future financial performance of Harleysville National
Corporation. We wish to caution you that these forward-looking statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties, including a variety of factors that may
cause Harleysville National Corporation’s actual results to differ materially
from the anticipated results expressed in these forward-looking statements. Such
risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and
experience to differ include, but are not limited to, the following: inability
to achieve merger-related synergies, the strategic initiatives and business
plans may not be satisfactorily completed or executed, if at all; increased
demand or prices for the Corporation’s financial services and products may not
occur; changing economic and competitive conditions; technological developments;
the effectiveness of the Corporation’s business strategy due to changes in
current or future market conditions; effects of deterioration of economic
conditions on customers specifically the effect on loan customers to repay
loans; inability of the Corporation to raise or achieve desired or required
levels of capital; the effects of competition, and of changes in laws and
regulations, including industry consolidation and development of competing
financial products and services; interest rate movements; relationships with
customers and employees; challenges in establishing and maintaining operations;
volatilities in the securities markets; and deteriorating economic conditions
and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Corporation’s
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
When we
use words such as “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, or similar expressions,
we are making forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are also advised to
review the risk factors that may affect Harleysville National Corporation’s
operating results in documents filed by Harleysville National Corporation with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other required filings. Harleysville
National Corporation assumes no duty to update the forward-looking statements
made in this Form 10-Q.
Shareholders
should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this
report and in the documents that we incorporate by reference, could affect the
future financial results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and could cause
those results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our
forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this
document
.
These factors include but are not limited to those described in Item 1A,
“Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this
Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting
Estimates
The
accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The
Corporation’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the
consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and in the Corporation’s
2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are essential in understanding Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. In
applying accounting policies and preparing the consolidated financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance
sheets and the income and expense in the income statements for the periods
presented. Therefore, actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates. Judgments and assumptions required by management, which have, or
could have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results
of operations are considered critical accounting estimates. The following is a
summary of the policies the Corporation recognizes as involving critical
accounting estimates: Allowance for Loan Loss, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Asset Impairment, Stock-Based Compensation, Fair Value Measurement of Investment
Securities Available for Sale, and Deferred Taxes.
Allowance
for Loan Losses: The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses at a
level management believes is sufficient to absorb estimated probable credit
losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However,
this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates by
management. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing these
estimates including historical losses, current and anticipated economic
conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics,
results of internal loan reviews, borrowers’ perceived financial and management
strengths, the adequacy of underlying collateral, the dependence on collateral,
or the strength of the present value of future cash flows and other relevant
factors. These factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent
actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provisions for loan
losses may be required which may adversely affect the Corporation’s results of
operations in the future.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Asset Impairment: Goodwill and other intangible assets are
reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or
circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Goodwill is tested for
impairment at the reporting unit level and an impairment loss is recorded to the
extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair
value.
The
Corporation employs general industry practices in evaluating the fair value of
its goodwill and other intangible assets. The Corporation calculates the fair
value, with the assistance of a third party specialist, using a combination of
the following valuation methods: dividend discount analysis under the income
approach, which calculates the present value of all excess cash flows plus the
present value of a terminal value and market multiples (pricing ratios) under
the market approach. In 2009, management performed its annual review of goodwill
and other identifiable intangibles. Management performed its review by reporting
unit and identified goodwill impairment for the Community Banking segment of
$214.5 million. This impairment resulted from the decrease in market value
caused by underlying capital and credit concerns and was determined based upon
the announced sale price of the Corporation to First Niagara for $5.50 per
share. As the Corporation’s annual analysis is performed using March 31
balances, the subsequent stock price decline and a June 2009 communication of
Individual Minimum Capital Ratio requirements from the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency resulted in a subsequent impairment evaluation. This analysis
was superseded as the announced merger provided an actual fair value for the
Corporation. No impairment was identified relating to the Corporation’s Wealth
Management segment or other identifiable intangible assets as a part of this
annual review. No assurance can be given that future impairment tests
will not result in a charge to earnings.
Stock-based
Compensation:
The
Corporation recognizes compensation expense for stock options over the requisite
service period based on the grant-date fair value of those awards expected to
ultimately vest. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and revised if
actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original
estimates.
For grants subject to a
service condition, t
he Corporation utilizes the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of
grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and
expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its
expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current
risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option. For grants subject
to a market condition, the Corporation utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation to
estimate the fair value and determine the derived service period. Compensation
is recognized over the derived service period with any unrecognized compensation
cost immediately recognized when the market condition is met. The Corporation’s
estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived
from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value
when fully vested.
Fair Value Measurement of
Investment Securities Available for Sale:
The Corporation receives
estimated fair values of debt securities from independent valuation services and
brokers. In developing these fair values, the valuation services and brokers use
estimates of cash flows based on historical performance of similar instruments
in similar rate environments. Debt securities available for sale are mostly
comprised of mortgage-backed securities as well as tax-exempt municipal bonds
and U.S. government agency securities. The Corporation uses various indicators
in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including
for equity securities, if the market value is below its cost for an extended
period of time with low expectation of recovery or for debt securities, when it
is probable that the contractual interest and principal will not be collected.
The debt securities are monitored for changes in credit ratings, collateral
adequacy, and the existence of deferrals or defaults. Adverse changes to any of
these factors would affect the estimated cash flows of the underlying collateral
or issuer. Effective for the three months ended June 30, 2009, for securities
deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, the Corporation uses cash flow
modeling to determine the credit related portion of the loss. This credit
portion is recognized through earnings while the remaining impairment amount is
recognized through other comprehensive income. The Corporation recognized
other-than-temporary impairment charges of $4.7 million during the third quarter
of 2009 mainly as a result of deterioration in two collateralized debt
obligation investments in pooled trust preferred securities. The unrealized
losses associated with the securities portfolio, that management has the ability
and intent to hold, are not considered to be other-than temporary as of
September 30, 2009 because the unrealized losses are primarily related to
changes in interest rates and current market conditions, however, we do not see
any negative effect on the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral or
issuer. The unrealized losses are affecting all portfolio sectors with
collateralized mortgage obligation securities and pooled trust preferred
securities having the largest reductions.
Deferred
Taxes: The Corporation recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
future effects of temporary differences, net operating loss carryforwards, and
tax credits. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon
available evidence that future realizations are likely. If management determines
that the Corporation may not be able to realize some or all of the net deferred
tax asset in the future, a charge to income tax expense may be required to
reduce the value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable value.
The Corporation evaluated its deferred tax asset balance at September 30, 2009
for realizability. Management’s process included the analysis of prior carryback
years and the evaluation of future income projections. Based upon
this analysis, Management believes that the deferred tax asset balance at
September 30, 2009 is fully realizable.
The
Corporation has not substantively changed its application of the foregoing
policies, and there have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation
techniques used as compared to prior periods.
Financial
Overview
The
Corporation reported a net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for
the third quarter of 2009. This compares to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.21
per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, the net loss was $222.3 million or $5.16 per diluted share,
which included a $214.5 million goodwill impairment charge. This compares to net
income of $21.3 million or $0.68 per diluted share during the comparable period
in 2008.
The third
quarter results included a $14.8 million provision for credit losses; a $4.7
million non-cash other-than–temporary impairment (OTTI) charge on investment
securities; as well as professional fees of $2.4 million associated with recent
corporate finance activities, including the pending merger with First Niagara
Financial Group, Inc. (First Niagara). During the third quarter of 2009, the
provision for loan losses was $14.8 million, compared to $2.6 million in the
third quarter of 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
provision for loan losses was $53.9 million compared to $7.6 million for the
same period in 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses reflects an
increase in nonperforming assets to $153.7 million at September 30, 2009, up
from $78.5 million at December 31, 2008 and $38.8 million at September 30, 2008.
Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Corporation benefited from the full
payoff of
two unrelated borrowers’ nonperforming loans totaling $18.4 million. Total
Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets improved to 9.51% at September 30, 2009 from
8.88% at December 31, 2008.
The
year-to-date 2009 loss was driven by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$214.5 million, resulting from the decrease in market value caused by underlying
capital and credit concerns which was valued through the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated July 26, 2009 between First Niagara and the Corporation in which
the Corporation will be merged into First Niagara. The impairment effectively
constituted the difference between the sale price of the Corporation to First
Niagara for $5.50 per share, which established the fair value of the
Corporation, compared to the Corporation’s book value per share of $10.75 prior
to the impairment charge with further evaluation through the Corporation’s step
two goodwill analysis.
The 2009
year-to-date financial results include the impact on operations from the
acquisition of Willow Financial Bancorp (Willow Financial) effective December 5,
2008 and the related issuance of 11,515,366 shares of the Corporation’s common
stock. The following is an overview of the key financial
highlights:
Total
assets were $5.2 billion at September 30, 2009, an increase of $1.2 billion or
30.7% from $3.9 billion at September 30, 2008. Loans were $3.3 billion, an
increase of $711.1 million or 28.0% from $2.5 billion at September 30, 2008.
Deposits were $4.0 billion, up $923.6 million or 30.6% from $3.0 billion at
September 30, 2008.
On the acquisition date,
Willow Financial had approximately $1.6 billion in assets, $1.1 billion in loans
and $946.7 million in deposits. Total assets at September 30, 2009 decreased
$327.2 million, or 6.0%, as compared to total assets reported at the year ended
December 31, 2008. Gross loans decreased by $459.7 million due to lower loan
levels in all categories resulting mainly from increased refinancing activity
and reduced origination volume as well as sales of first mortgage residential
loans totaling $106.4 million and indirect consumer installment loans totaling
$36.2 million for a net loss of $209,000.
The
annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was -6.73% for the third
quarter of 2009 as compared to 8.20% for the same period in 2008. The annualized
return on average assets was -0.34% during the third quarter of 2009 in
comparison to 0.68% for the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in these ratios
was primarily due to the higher level of loan loss provision as well as OTTI
charges on investment securities recognized during the third quarter of
2009.
Net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2009 increased
$6.3 million or 23.3% from the same period in 2008 mainly as a result of the
Willow Financial acquisition. Third quarter 2009 net interest margin was 2.75%
compared to 3.02% for the same period in 2008.
Nonperforming
assets were $153.7 million at September 30, 2009. Nonperforming assets as a
percentage of total assets were 2.98% at September 30, 2009, compared to 1.43%
at December 31, 2008 and 0.98% at September 30, 2008. Net charge-offs for the
third quarter of 2009 were $7.8 million, compared to $2.1 million in the same
period of 2008. The allowance for credit losses increased to $77.3 million at
September 30, 2009, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2008, and $31.7
million at September 30, 2008.
Pending
Merger with First Niagara Financial Group, Inc.
On July
27, 2009, the Corporation and First Niagara Financial Group, Inc., the holding
company for First Niagara Bank, announced that they had entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 26, 2009,
which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Corporation will
merge with and into First Niagara in a transaction valued at approximately $237
million. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders of the
Corporation will receive 0.474 shares of First Niagara stock for each share of
common stock they own, representing a premium of about 37.5% based on the
Corporation’s closing price on July 24, 2009 of $4.00 per share. The exchange
ratio is based on First Niagara’s five-day average closing stock price of $11.60
on July 22, 2009. The exchange ratio is subject to downward adjustment if loan
delinquencies of Harleysville National Bank and Trust Company exceed specified
amounts. During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation recorded a goodwill
impairment charge of $214.5 million, resulting from the decrease in market value
caused by underlying capital and credit concerns which was valued through the
Merger Agreement. The impairment effectively constituted the difference between
the sale price of the Corporation to First Niagara for $5.50 per share, which
established the fair value of the Corporation, compared to the Corporation’s
book value per share of $10.75 prior to the impairment charge with further
evaluation through the Corporation’s step two goodwill analysis. See Note 5 –
Goodwill and Other intangibles for further information.
The
Boards of Directors of the Corporation and First Niagara have approved the
Merger Agreement, but the transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and
other customary closing conditions, as well as the approval of the Corporation’s
shareholders at a special meeting. The merger is intended to qualify as
reorganization for federal income tax purposes, such that shares of the
Corporation exchanged for shares of First Niagara will be issued to the
Corporation’s shareholders on a tax-free basis. It is expected that the
transaction will be completed in the first quarter of 2010.
The
Merger Agreement provides for a downward adjustment to the merger consideration
to be received by the Corporation’s shareholders if the amount of the Bank’s
delinquent loans equals or exceeds $237.5 million as of any month end prior to
the closing date of the merger. For purposes of this calculation, “delinquent
loans” is defined as the sum of non-performing assets, loans 30 to 89 days
delinquent, and cumulative charge-offs subsequent to the signing of the
agreement. By this definition, at September 30, 2009, delinquent loans were
$193.3 million.
Results of
Operations
Net
income is affected by five major elements: (1) net interest income, or the
difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest
expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds; (2) the provision for loan losses,
or the amount added to the allowance for loan losses to provide reserves for
inherent losses on loans; (3) noninterest income, which is made up primarily of
certain fees, wealth management income and gains and losses from sales of
securities or other transactions; (4) noninterest expense, which consists
primarily of salaries, employee benefits and other operating expenses; and (5)
income taxes. Each of these major elements will be reviewed in more detail in
the following discussion.
Net Interest
Income
Net
interest income is the difference between interest earned on total
interest-earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities), on a fully
taxable equivalent basis, where appropriate, and interest paid on total
interest-bearing liabilities (primarily deposits and borrowed funds). Fully
taxable equivalent basis represents income on total interest-earning assets that
is either tax-exempt or taxed at a reduced rate, adjusted to give effect to the
prevailing incremental federal tax rate, and adjusted for nondeductible carrying
costs and state income taxes, where applicable. Yield calculations, where
appropriate, include these adjustments. Net interest income depends on the
volume and interest rate earned on interest-earning assets and the volume and
interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
The rate
volume variance analysis in the following table, which is computed on a
tax-equivalent basis (tax rate of 35%), analyzes changes in net interest income
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to September 30,
2008 by their volume and rate components. The change attributable to both volume
and rate has been allocated proportionately.

The
interest earned on nontaxable investment securities and loans is shown on
a tax equivalent basis,
net
of deductions (tax rate of 35%).

Nonaccrual
loans have been included in the appropriate average loan balance category,
but interest
on
nonaccrual loans has not been included for purposes of determining
interest income.

The
dramatic decline in the credit and liquidity markets and overall economic
conditions taking place in the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted in the Federal
Open Market Committee reducing overnight rates by 175 basis points to
effectively 0%. The total reduction in overnight rates during 2008 was 400 basis
points. As discussed later, the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury Department
also initiated a wide array of programs to improve liquidity, stabilize the
credit markets and stimulate economic growth. These initiatives have continued
through 2009. The Corporation’s lower cost of funds have resulted from the
short-term and mid-term rate reductions throughout 2008 and 2009 in response to
the decline in the various market yield curves and resulting reduction in asset
yields.
Net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2009 increased
$6.3 million or 23.3% from the same period in 2008 mainly as a result of the
Willow Financial acquisition.
Interest
income on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter of 2009 increased $5.2
million, or 10.1% over the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due
to higher average loans of $810.0 million and higher average investment
securities of $92.7 million which was partially offset by a 74 basis points
reduction in the average rate earned on loans. The growth in average loans of
32.1% over the third quarter of last year was mainly as a result of the Willow
Financial acquisition. Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 4.4% during
the third quarter of 2009 versus the comparable period in 2008 primarily due to
a 98 basis point reduction in the average rate paid on deposits partially offset
by a $1.1 billion increase in average interest-bearing liabilities mostly as a
result of the Willow Financial acquisition.
Net Interest
Margin
The third
quarter 2009 net interest margin was 2.75%, a decrease of 27 basis points
compared to 3.02% during the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in the net
interest margin during 2009 was primarily attributable to decreases in yields on
interest-earning assets mainly reflected in the lower yielding cash balances
being maintained for liquidity purposes, which outpaced declines in the customer
deposit costs.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Analysis
In the
normal course of conducting business activities, the Corporation is exposed to
market risk, principally interest rate risk through the operations of its
banking subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in
interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and value of financial
instruments.
The
Corporation actively manages its interest rate sensitivity positions. The
objectives of interest rate risk management are to control exposure of net
interest income to risks associated with interest rate movements and to achieve
consistent growth in net interest income. The Asset/Liability Committee, using
policies and procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, is
responsible for managing the rate sensitivity position. The Corporation manages
interest rate sensitivity by changing the mix and repricing characteristics of
its assets and liabilities through the management of its investment securities
portfolio, its offering of loan and deposit terms and through wholesale
borrowings from several providers, but primarily the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB). The nature of the Corporation’s current operations is such that it is
not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.
The
Corporation only utilizes derivative instruments for asset/liability management.
These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are
amounts on which calculations and payments are based. The notional amounts do
not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the
net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any.
Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest-rate flows
(fixed and floating) are exchanged over a prescribed period. The
notional amounts on which the interest payments are based are not exchanged.
Interest rate caps are purchased contracts that limit the exposure from the
repricing of liabilities in a rising rate environment.
The Bank
is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed rate assets due
to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Bank uses interest rate swaps to
manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable
to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as
fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a
counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed-rate payments over the life
of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of
September 30, 2009, the Bank had a fair value hedge in the form of an interest
rate swap with a notional amount of $1.8 million which matures in 2017. In
addition, four fair value hedges with current notional amounts totaling $7.1
million were acquired from Willow Financial with maturity dates ranging from
2013 to 2016. These swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and thus
all changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations. As such, based on the increase in the market value of
these interest rate swaps, the Corporation recognized a loss of $75,000 and a
gain of $223,000 in other income in the consolidated statement of operations for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The
Corporation also recognized a reduction of interest income of $47,000 and
$197,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, during the three
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank recognized a reduction of
interest income of $24,000 and $16,000, respectively, on the consolidated
statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
the Bank recognized a reduction of interest income of $75,000 and $59,000,
respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.
Derivatives
not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Bank
provides to certain customers. The Bank executes interest rate swaps with
commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management
strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting
interest rate swaps that the Bank executes with a third party, such that the
Bank minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the
interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet strict hedge
accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps
and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. As of September
30, 2009, the Bank had 48 interest rate swaps with an aggregate current notional
amount of $200.7 million related to this program with maturity dates ranging
from 2010 to 2018. For these derivatives, during the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank recognized a loss of $255,000 and $6,000,
respectively in other income on the consolidated statements of operations. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank recognized a gain of
$319,000 and $139,000, respectively in other income on the consolidated
statements of operations.
The Bank
is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and
economic conditions. The Bank principally manages its exposures to a wide
variety of business and operational risks through management of its core
business activities. The Bank manages economic risks, including interest rate,
liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and
duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial
instruments. Specifically, the Bank enters into derivative financial instruments
to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the
receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of
which are determined by interest rates. The Bank’s derivative financial
instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration
of the Bank’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash
payments principally related to certain variable rate loan assets and variable
rate borrowings.
The Bank
has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a
provision where if the Bank defaults on any of its indebtedness,
including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been
accelerated by the lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default
on its derivative obligations. The Bank has agreements with some of its
derivative counterparties that contain provisions that require the Bank’s debt
to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit
rating agencies. If the Bank’s credit rating is reduced below investment grade
then, the Bank may be required to fully collateralize its obligations under the
derivative instrument. Certain of the Bank's agreements with some of its
derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a specified event or
condition occurs that materially changes the Bank's creditworthiness in an
adverse manner, the Bank may be required to fully collateralize its obligations
under the derivative instrument. The Bank has agreements with certain of its
derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Bank fails to
maintain its status as a well / adequate capitalized institution, then the Bank
could be required to settle its obligation under the agreements.
As of
September 30, 2009, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position,
which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance
risk, related to these agreements was $4.8 million. As of September 30, 2009,
the Bank has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its
derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $4.0 million against its
obligations under these agreements.
The
Corporation uses three principal reports to measure interest rate risk: (1)
asset/liability simulation reports; (2) gap analysis reports; and (3) net
interest margin reports. Management also simulates possible economic conditions
and interest rate scenarios in order to quantify the impact on net interest
income. The effect that changing interest rates have on the Corporation’s net
interest income is simulated by increasing and decreasing interest rates. This
simulation is known as rate shocking.
The
results of the September 30, 2009 net interest income rate shock simulations
show that the Corporation is within guidelines set by the Corporation's
Asset/Liability Policy when modeled rates increase 100 or 200 basis points and
decrease 100 and 200 basis points. The Corporation constantly monitors this
position and takes steps to minimize any reduction in net interest
income.
The
report below forecasts changes in the Corporation’s market value of equity under
alternative interest rate environments as of September 30, 2009. The market
value of equity is defined as the net present value of the Corporation’s
existing assets and liabilities. The Corporation is within guidelines set by the
Corporation’s Asset/Liability Policy for the percentage change in the market
value of equity when modeled rates decrease 100 or 200 basis points. When
modeled rates increase 200 basis points, the Corporation is not within
guidelines mainly due to the non-cash goodwill impairment write-off of $214.5
million, resulting from the decrease in market value related to the First
Niagara merger agreement previously discussed.

In the
event the Corporation should experience a mismatch in its desired gap ranges or
an excessive decline in their market value of equity resulting from changes in
interest rates, it has a number of options that it could use to remedy the
mismatch. The Corporation could restructure its investment portfolio through the
sale or purchase of securities with more favorable repricing attributes. It
could also emphasize growth in loan products with appropriate maturities or
repricing attributes, or attract deposits or obtain borrowings with desired
maturities.
Provision for Loan
Losses
The
Corporation uses the reserve method of accounting for loan losses. The balance
in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and
evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size
and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and
other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future
delinquencies, recoveries and losses. Increases to the allowance for loan losses
are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Credit exposures deemed to
be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries
of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan
losses.
While
management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on
information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be
necessary due to changes in economic conditions or management’s assumptions as
to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses and management’s intent with
regard to the disposition of loans. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (“OCC”), as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically reviews the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses. The OCC may
require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses
based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of
their examination.
The Corporation performs periodic
evaluations of the allowance for loan losses that include both historical,
internal and external factors. The actual allocation of reserve is a function of
the application of these factors to arrive at a reserve for each portfolio type
and an additional component of the reserve allocated against the portfolio as a
whole. Management assigns historical factors and environmental factors to
homogeneous groups of loans that are grouped by loan type and credit rating.
Changes in concentrations and quality are captured in the analytical metrics
used in the calculation of the reserve. The components of the allowance for
credit losses consist of both historical losses and estimates. Management bases
its recognition and estimation of each allowance component on certain observable
data that it believes is the most reflective of the underlying loan losses being
estimated. The observable data and accompanying analysis is directionally
consistent, based upon trends, with the resulting component amount for the
allowance for loan losses. The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses
components include the following: historical loss estimation by loan product
type and by risk rating within each product type, payment (past due) status,
industry concentrations, internal and external variables such as economic
conditions, credit policy and underwriting changes and results of the loan
review process. The Corporation’s historical loss component is a significant
component of the allowance for loan losses, and all other allowance components
are based on the inherent loss attributes that management believes exist within
the total portfolio that are not captured in the historical loss component as
well as external factors impacting the portfolio taken as a
whole
.
The
historical loss components of the allowance represent the results of analyses of
historical charge-offs and recoveries within pools of homogeneous loans, within
each risk rating and broken down further by segment, within the portfolio.
Criticized assets are further assessed based on trends, expressed as
percentages, relative to delinquency, risk rating and nonaccrual, by credit
product.
The
historical loss components of the allowance for commercial and industrial loans
and commercial real estate loans (collectively “commercial loans”) are based
principally on current risk ratings, historical loss rates adjusted, by
adjusting the risk window, to reflect current events and conditions, as well as
analyses of other factors that may have affected the collectability of loans.
All commercial loans with an outstanding balance over $500,000 are subject to
review on an annual basis. A sample of commercial loans with a “pass” rating are
individually reviewed annually. Commercial loans that management determines to
be potential problem loans are individually reviewed at a minimum annually. The
review is performed by a third party, and is designed to determine whether such
loans are individually impaired, with impairment measured by reference to the
collateral coverage and/or debt service coverage. Consumer credit and
residential real estate reviews are limited to those loans reflecting delinquent
payment status or performed on loans otherwise deemed to be at risk of
nonpayment. Homogeneous loan pools, including consumer and 1-4 family
residential mortgages are not subject to individual review but are evaluated
utilizing risk factors such as concentration of one borrower group. The
historical loss component of the allowance for these loans is based principally
on loan payment status, retail classification and historical loss rates,
adjusted by altering the risk window, to reflect current events and
conditions.
The
industry concentration component is recognized as a possible factor in the
estimation of loan losses. Two industries represent possible concentrations:
commercial real estate and consumer loans relying on residential home equity. No
specific loss-related observable data is recognized by management currently,
therefore no specific factor is calculated in the reserve solely for the impact
of these concentrations, although management continues to carefully consider
relevant data for possible future sources of observable data.
The
historic loss model includes two judgmental components (product level and
portfolio level environmental factors) that reflect management’s belief that
there are additional inherent credit losses based on loss attributes not
adequately captured in the lagging indicators. The judgmental components are
allocated to the specific segments of the portfolio based on the historic loss
component of each segment under review.
Portfolio
level environmental factors included in management’s calculation entail the
measurement of a wider array of both internal and external criteria impacting
the portfolio as a whole. The portfolio level environmental factors are based
upon management’s review of trends in the Corporation’s primary market area as
well as regional and national economic trends. Management utilizes various
economic factors that could impact borrowers’ future ability to make loan
payments such as changes in the interest rate environment, product supply
shortages and negative industry specific events. Management utilizes relevant
articles from newspapers and other publications that
describe
the economic events affecting specific geographic areas and other published
economic reports and data. Furthermore, given that past-performance indicators
may not adequately capture current risk levels, allowing for a real-time
adjustment enhances the validity of the loss recognition process. There are many
credit risk management reports that are synthesized by credit risk management
staff to assess the direction of credit risk and its instant effect on losses.
It is important to continue to use experiential data to confirm risk as
measurable losses will continue to manifest themselves at higher than normal
levels even after the economic cycle has begun an upward swing and lagging
indicators begin to show improvement. The judgmental component is allocated to
the entire portfolio based upon management’s evaluation of the factors under
review.
The
provision for loan losses increased $12.2 million during the third quarter of
2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008 and $46.2 million for the first nine
months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 mostly as a result of the
decrease in the overall quality of the loan portfolio which caused an increase
in the amount of the required reserve. Credit quality continued to be a
challenge in the Bank’s commercial real estate and home equity portfolio in the
third quarter of 2009. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were
2.98% at September 30, 2009, compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2008 and 0.98% at
September 30, 2008. Net loans charged-off increased $23.2 million for the first
nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 principally due to
charge-offs related to several unrelated commercial and industrial and
commercial real estate borrowers and increased charge-offs of consumer loans,
specifically home equity lines of credit and loans and other direct installment
loans. The profile of the Bank’s customer base has remained relatively constant
and management believes that the current deterioration in credit quality has
been caused by the economic pressures being felt by borrowers due to general
economic conditions and the continued recession. As the current economic
conditions deteriorate, management continues to allocate dedicated resources to
continue to manage at-risk credits.
The
allowance for loan losses increased $27.3 million to $77.3 million at September
30, 2009 from $50.0 million at December 31, 2008 and $31.7 million at September
30, 2008, respectively. The increase in the allowance at September 30, 2009
compared to December 31 2008 was primarily due to the decline in credit quality
in the current economic environment. The increase in the allowance at September
30, 2009 in comparison to September 30, 2008 was also partially due to the
addition of the Willow Financial loan loss reserve of $12.9 million in December
2008, and the need to adjust for impacts on the portfolio in light of the
current credit environment. Nonperforming loans have increased by $74.9 million
as a result of these factors from September 30, 2009 compared to December 31,
2008 and by $114.3 million from September 30, 2008. The impact of the recession
continues to be felt as the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio’s increase
in allowance illustrates. It is expected that the negative trends in the real
estate industry, both residential and commercial, will continue to affect credit
quality throughout the remainder of 2009.

Table
5—Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses by Loan Type
The
factors affecting the allocation of the allowance during the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2009 were decreases in credit quality primarily related to
real estate construction loans and commercial and industrial loans. The
allocation of the allowance for real estate loans at September 30, 2009
increased $16.1 million as compared to December 31, 2008 principally due to an
increase in criticized real estate construction loans, a decline in collateral
values related to construction loans and an increase in the loss ratio used to
calculate the reserve for commercial mortgage, commercial construction loans.
The allocation of the allowance for commercial and industrial loans at September
30, 2009 increased $10.8 million from December 31, 2008 mostly due to a decrease
in credit quality and an increase in impairment related to commercial and
industrial loans. In addition, the allocation of the allowance for consumer
loans at September 30, 2009 increased slightly by $476,000 primarily due to
adjustments in the loss ratios as well as some increases in criticized consumer
loans. There were no material changes in the allocation of the allowance for
lease financing at September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. There were
no significant changes in the estimation methods and assumptions including
environmental factors, loan concentrations or terms that impacted the allowance
during the first nine months of 2009. The interest rate environment as well as
weakening in the commercial real estate market has moderately increased our
allowance allocation in concert with the historical trends. It is expected that
the negative trends in the real estate industry will continue to affect credit
quality throughout the remainder of 2009. The growth in the loan portfolio and
the change in the mix will result in an adjustment to the amount of the
allowance allocated to each category based upon historical loss trends and other
factors.
The
following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses by
category. The specific allocations in any particular category may be reallocated
in the future to reflect then current conditions. Accordingly, management
considers the entire allowance to be available to absorb losses in any
category.

Nonperforming
Assets
Nonperforming
assets include loans that are in nonaccrual status or 90 days or more past due
and loans that are in the process of foreclosure. A loan is generally classified
as nonaccrual when principal or interest has consistently been in default for a
period of 90 days or more, when there has been deterioration in the
financial condition of the borrower, or payment in full of principal or interest
is not expected. Delinquent loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest are loans that are generally well-secured and expected to be
restored to a current status in the near future.
Nonperforming
assets were 2.98% of total assets at September 30, 2009, compared to 1.43% at
December 31, 2008, and 0.98% at September 30, 2008. The increase in nonaccrual
loans at September 30, 2009, in relation to December 31, 2008, of $58.7 million
was mainly attributable to commercial real estate, construction and residential
real estate loans. The increase of nonaccrual loans in relation to September 30,
2008 of $97.5 million was largely due to an increase in the nonaccrual status of
commercial and residential construction, commercial and industrial, residential
first mortgage and commercial mortgage loans during 2008. In addition, the
December 5, 2008 acquisition of Willow Financial Bank contributed $12.5 million
in non-accrual loans. The borrowers associated with these nonaccrual loans are
generally unrelated and are primarily located in our market area and in most
cases, for the residential real estate, our collateral is local land that has
been subdivided for residential development in the growing counties of the
Philadelphia suburbs and the Lehigh Valley. The Bank’s management understands
these markets and is confident that it can manage the collateral, if necessary.
In response to the situation, the Corporation increased its allowance for loan
losses from approximately 1.36% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2008 to
2.38% at September 30, 2009. The Bank continues to evaluate appraisals,
financial reviews and inspections. All mortgage loans within the Bank’s
portfolio were booked with traditional bank customers through the branch
network. The Bank has virtually no exposure to subprime borrowers. The Bank
continues to take a conservative approach to its lending and loan review
practices. With the expectation of continued economic pressures, management
continues to provide more resources to resolve troubled credits including an
increased focus on earlier identification of potential problem loans and a more
active approach to managing the level of criticized loans that have not reached
nonaccrual status.
As of
September 30, 2009, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest were $18.1 million, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2008 and
$1.3 million at September 30, 2008. The higher level of loans past due 90 days
or more at September 30, 2009 was primarily driven by a few unrelated
construction loans as well as several unrelated residential mortgage loans which
were well secured by collateral. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the
Corporation benefited from the full payoff of two unrelated borrowers’
nonperforming construction loans totaling $18.4 million of which $13.3 million
was in the 90 days or more past due category and $5.1 million was in non-accrual
status.
Net
assets in foreclosure at September 30, 2009 were $1.8 million compared to $1.6
million at December 31, 2008 and $1.2 million at September 30, 2008. During the
first nine months of 2009, transfers from loans to assets in foreclosure were
$1.7 million, disposals of foreclosed properties were $1.5 million and no
charge-offs were recorded. Efforts to liquidate assets acquired in foreclosure
proceed as quickly as potential buyers can be located and legal constraints
permit. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost (lesser of carrying
value of the asset or fair value at date of acquisition) or estimated fair
value.

The
following table presents information concerning impaired loans. Impaired loans
are loans for which it is probable that all principal and interest will not be
collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired
loans are included in the nonaccrual loan total and also included a few
unrelated accruing construction and commercial real estate loans. The increase
in impaired loans at September 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 and
September 30, 2008 was mostly due to the previously aforementioned increases in
nonaccrual commercial and residential construction, commercial and industrial,
residential first mortgage and commercial mortgage loans.

The
Bank’s policy for interest income recognition on impaired loans is to recognize
income under the cash basis when the loans are both current and the collateral
on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Bank. The
Bank will not recognize income if these factors do not exist.
Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income was $12.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $1.8
million or 17.5% from $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. For the three
months ended September 30, 2009, net gains on the sale of investment securities
increased by $1.4 million over the same period in 2008. The net security gains
were mostly the result of the sale of mortgage-backed securities. Service
charges on deposits increased $937,000, or 27.4% during the third quarter of
2009 over the comparable quarter of 2008 mainly from the acquired Willow
Financial deposit accounts. Wealth management fee growth was $794,000 or 20.6%
during the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter in 2008. In
addition, as a result of the Willow Financial acquisition, gains from mortgage
banking loan sales were $2.4 million during the third quarter of 2009; there
were no gains in the third quarter of 2008. Other income increased $926,000
during the third quarter of 2009 over the comparable quarter of 2008 primarily
from increases in automated teller machine and point of sale revenue and an
increase in the cash surrender value of keyman life insurance. These increases
were partially offset by a non-cash OTTI charge of $4.7 million during the third
quarter of 2009 mainly on two collateralized mortgage obligation investments in
pooled trust preferred securities.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, non-interest income was $50.1 million, an
increase of $17.3 million, or 52.5% from the same period in 2008, primarily due
to increases in net gains on the sale of investment securities of $8.1 million,
service charges on deposits of $3.0 million, gains from mortgage banking loan
sales of $6.3 million and automated teller machine and point of sale revenue
which were previously discussed. Other income also included a $1.7 million gain
recorded in the first quarter of 2009 on the sale of the Bank’s merchant credit
card business. These increases were partially offset by non-cash
other-than-temporary impairment charges totaling $6.5 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 mainly on two collateralized debt obligation
investments in pooled trust preferred securities as well as three private label
collateralized mortgage obligations.
Noninterest
Expense
Noninterest
expense was $40.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $15.1
million from $25.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to the
Willow Financial acquisition and professional fees of $2.4 million associated
with recent corporate finance activities, including the pending merger with
First Niagara. Salaries and benefits expense rose $4.0 million during the third
quarter of 2009 primarily due to higher staffing levels resulting from the
Willow Financial acquisition. Occupancy expenses increased $1.3 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 over the comparable period in 2008, mainly
due to the addition of the Willow Financial branches. FDIC insurance assessments
increased $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 mostly due to the Bank’s
higher premium rate assessed by the FDIC. Other expense increased $2.6 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008
mostly due to the Willow Financial acquisition, including additional data
processing expenses.
In
September 2009, the FDIC proposed a rule that will require all insured
depository institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their estimated
quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of
2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC also proposed to adopt a uniform three-basis point
increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011. If the rule is
finalized as proposed, the Corporation expects to be required to pay
approximately $48.4 million in prepaid risk-based assessments. The Bank expects
that the assessment rates for the fourth quarter of 2009 will continue to be
significantly higher than in 2008.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, noninterest expense was $331.6 million, an
increase of $258.3 million from $73.3 million in the comparable period in 2008.
This increase was mainly due to the previously aforementioned goodwill
impairment charge of $214.5 million and the Willow Financial acquisition. FDIC
insurance assessments increased $10.2 million mostly due to the Bank’s higher
premium rate assessed by the FDIC and the FDIC’s one-time uniform special
assessment of 5 basis points of assets minus Tier 1 capital applicable to all
insured depositary institutions resulting in a $2.6 million one-time charge
recorded during the second quarter of 2009. In addition, insurance premiums were
higher as a result of the deposits from the Willow Financial acquisition. Other
increases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included salaries and
benefits of $14.2 million, occupancy of $4.2 million and other expenses of $8.2
million which were mostly due to the Willow Financial acquisition as previously
discussed.
Income
Taxes
The
effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009 were 61.2% and 5.5%, respectively versus the applicable federal statutory
rate of 35% and the applicable state tax rates. The effective income tax rates
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were 17.1% and 20.0%,
respectively. The Corporation's effective rate during the three months ended
September 30, 2009 was significantly higher than the statutory rate due to the
effect of temporary tax differences coupled with the Corporation being in a
pre-tax loss position during the period. The effective rates during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were lower than the statutory tax rate
primarily as a result of the $214.5 million goodwill impairment charge, which is
not deductible for income tax purposes, as well as tax-exempt income earned from
state and municipal securities, loans and bank-owned life insurance. The
effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 was lower than the
same period in 2008 primarily due to the $214.5 million goodwill impairment
charge as well as a higher level of tax exempt income during
2009.
Balance Sheet
Analysis
Total
assets at September 30, 2009 decreased $327.2 million, or 6.0%, from $5.5
billion at December 31, 2008 to $5.2 billion. Investment securities decreased by
$153.4 million mainly due to sales of mortgage-backed securities and maturities
of certain securities. Gross loans decreased by $459.7 million at September 30,
2009 since December 31, 2008 primarily due to lower loan levels in all
categories resulting mainly from increased refinancing activity and reduced
origination volume as well as the sale of first mortgage residential loans
totaling $106.4 million and indirect consumer installment loans totaling $36.2
million for a net loss of $209,000. The goodwill balance decreased by $218.0
million since December 31, 2008 primarily from the previously aforementioned
impairment of goodwill during the second quarter of 2009. Cash and cash
equivalents increased by $490.7 million since December 31, 2008 primarily due to
the sale of investment securities and loans held for investment as well as lower
loan levels. Residential mortgage loans held for sale increased $24.5 million
due to an increase in refinancing volume driven by historically low mortgage
rates.
Total
liabilities decreased slightly by $113.1 million, or 2.3%, from $5.0 billion at
December 31, 2008. Deposits grew by $3.5 million since December 31, 2008
primarily due to increases in savings and checking accounts offset by a
reduction of money market accounts. Federal funds purchased and short-term
securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $47.8 million due to
maturities. Long-term borrowings decreased $68.5 million from December 31, 2008
due to maturities as increased cash levels reduced the Bank’s reliance on
borrowings. Shareholder’s equity decreased by $214.1 million since year-end
mainly as a result of the goodwill impairment charge of $214.5 million
recognized during the second quarter of 2009.
Capital
Capital
formation is important to the Corporation's well being and future growth. Total
capital at September 30, 2009 was $260.7 million, a decrease of $214.1 million
from the capital balance at December 31, 2008 of $474.7 million. The reduction
in capital was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge of $214.5 million
recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Also contributing to the
decrease in capital was cash dividends paid of $4.7 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 offset by an increase of $11.2 million in other
comprehensive income.
In June
2009, the Bank was advised that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(“OCC”) has established higher minimum capital ratios for the Bank than the
minimum and well capitalized ratios generally applicable to banks under current
regulations. To be "well capitalized," banks generally must maintain a Tier 1
leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of at least 6%
and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. In the case of the Bank,
however, the OCC has established individual minimum capital ratios requiring a
Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least eight percent (8%) of adjusted total assets, a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least ten percent (10%) and a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least twelve percent (12%).
Management
continues to analyze and evaluate the Corporation’s current capital position
relative to the Corporation’s ongoing business operations, current economic
conditions, the regulatory environment, including the higher minimum capital
ratio requirements for the Bank established by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, and future capital requirements.

Pursuant
to the federal regulators’ risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, the
components of capital are called Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. For the Corporation,
Tier 1 capital is generally common stockholder’s equity and retained earnings
adjusted to exclude disallowed goodwill and identifiable intangibles as well as
the inclusion of qualifying trust preferred securities. Tier 2 capital for the
Corporation is the allowance for loan losses.
Currently,
the Bank's capital levels are less than those required under the OCC's newly
required minimum individual capital ratios. The OCC advised the Bank that it
must achieve these ratios by June 30, 2009. While these ratios were not achieved
by the deadline, the merger agreement with First Niagara was announced on July
28, 2009. In addition, the Corporation has elected to reduce and subsequently
suspend its cash dividends on its common stock beginning with the third quarter
of 2009 and to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding subordinated
debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payments that were
due on September 15, 2009. These actions were taken to conserve
capital.
At
September 30, 2009, the Corporation’s Tier 1 risk-adjusted capital ratio was
8.25%
,
and the total
risk-adjusted capital ratio was 9.51%. Both are above regulatory “adequately
capitalized” requirements, however, the Tier 1 risk-adjusted capital ratio and
the total risk-adjusted capital ratio are below the Bank’s required regulatory
“well capitalized” standards of 10.00% and 12.00%, respectively. Purchase
accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of Willow Financial in
December 2008 contributed to the reduction of the Corporation’s total risk-based
capital ratio below the regulatory threshold for a “well capitalized” bank at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Corporation does not believe that
these mark-to-market valuations reflect a reduction in the realizable value of
Willow Financial’s assets and expects to recover the discount through
amortization in 2009 and beyond. As of September 30, 2009, the total
risk-adjusted capital ratio increased to 9.51% from 8.88% at December 31,
2008.
The
leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average total
assets, excluding goodwill and identifiable intangibles. The Corporation’s
leverage ratios were 6.10% at September 30, 2009 and 8.19% at December 31, 2008
which were higher than the OCC requirement of 5.00% but less than the OCC
individual minimum capital requirement of 8%. The lower leverage ratio of the
Corporation at September 30, 2009 was mainly due to an increase in average loans
and average assets from the acquisition of Willow Financial as the acquisition
occurred towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2008.
After a
detailed analysis of dividend yields by the Corporation, the cash dividend paid
on its common shares in the first quarter of 2009 was reduced to $0.10 per share
from $0.20 per share for each quarter in 2008. The Corporation further reduced
the second quarter 2009 cash dividend to $.01 per share. On August 17, 2009, the
Board of Directors of the Corporation elected to suspend payment of regular
quarterly dividends on its common shares beginning with the dividend for the
third quarter of 2009. These actions were taken to conserve capital in light of
the impact of continued weak economic conditions. This resulted in a reduction
of cash dividends of approximately $14.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.
Liquidity
Liquidity
is a measure of the ability of the Corporation to meet its current cash needs
and obligations on a timely basis. For a bank, liquidity provides the means to
meet the day-to-day demands of deposit customers and the needs of borrowing
customers. Generally, the Bank arranges its mix of cash, money market
investments, investment securities and loans in order to match the volatility,
seasonality, interest sensitivity and growth trends of its deposit funds. The
Corporation’s decisions with regard to liquidity are based on projections of
potential sources and uses of funds for the next 120 days under the
Corporation’s asset/liability model.
The
resulting projections as of September 30, 2009 show the potential sources of
funds exceeding the potential uses of funds. The accuracy of this prediction can
be affected by limitations inherent in the model and by the occurrence of future
events not anticipated when the projections were made. The Corporation has
external sources of funds which can be drawn upon when funds are required. One
source of external liquidity is an available line of credit with the FHLB. As of
September 30, 2009, the Bank had borrowings outstanding with the FHLB of $471.9
million, all of which were long-term. At September 30, 2009, the Bank had a
borrowing capacity of $65.0 million at the FHLB and unused federal funds lines
of credit of $45.0 million. In addition, the Corporation’s funding sources
include investment and loan portfolio cash flows, cash balances of approximately
$538.2 million and short-term investments, as well as repurchase agreements. The
Corporation could also increase its liquidity through its pricing on
certificates of deposit products. The Corporation has pledged available for sale
investment securities with a carrying value of $961.7 million and held to
maturity securities of $16.7 million. Securities with a carrying value of $798.1
million were pledged to secure public funds, customer trust funds, government
deposits and repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2009. During July 2009,
the FHLB required the Corporation’s outstanding borrowings with the FHLB be
fully collateralized. Any future borrowings with the FHLB are also required to
be fully collateralized. Securities with a carrying value of $180.3 million and
loans with a carrying value of $745.3 million were pledged as collateral for
FHLB borrowings as of September 30, 2009.
The
Corporation believes it has adequate funding sources to maintain sufficient
liquidity given its current business conditions. Except as discussed herein,
management believes there are no known trends or any known demands, commitments,
events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to
result in liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way, although a
significant portion of the Corporation’s time deposits mature within the next
twelve months. Despite the anticipated market volatility and rate environment
for much of 2009, we expect to be able to retain most of these deposits. In the
event that additional funds are required, the Corporation believes its
short-term liquidity is adequate as outlined above.
Recent
Developments
The
global and U.S economies are experiencing significantly reduced business
activity as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the financial
system in the past year. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past
year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment,
have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial
institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and
investment banks. These write-downs, initially of mortgage-backed securities but
spreading to credit default swaps and other derivative securities have caused
many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and
stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail.
In the
third quarter of 2008, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury and the FDIC
initiated measures to stabilize the financial markets and to provide liquidity
for financial institutions. In response to the financial crisis, the United
States government passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, (the
“EESA”) on October 3, 2008 which provides the United States Treasury Department
(the Treasury) with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore
stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets. Pursuant to the EESA, the Treasury
has the ability to purchase or insure up to $700 billion in troubled assets held
by financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). On
October 14, 2008, the Treasury announced it would purchase equity stakes in
financial institutions under a Capital Purchase Program (CPP) of up to $250
billion of the $700 billion authorized under the TARP. The CPP provides direct
equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified
financial institutions. The program is voluntary and requires an institution to
comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on
executive compensation, stock redemptions and declaration of dividends. As a
result of additional legislation passed in February 2009, the CPP also requires
the Treasury to receive warrants for common stock equal to 15% of the capital
invested by the Treasury. For a period of three years, the consent of the
U.S. Treasury will be required for participating institutions to increase
their common stock dividend or repurchase their common stock, other than in
connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice. The minimum
subscription amount available to a participating institution is one percent of
total risk-weighted assets. The maximum subscription amount is three percent of
risk-weighted assets.
In
November 2008, the Corporation filed an application to participate in the CPP as
part of the TARP. On April 28, 2009, the Corporation notified its regulators
that it has withdrawn its application.
The EESA included a provision for a
temporary increase in the Federal Deposit Insurance (FDIC) from $100,000 to
$250,000 per depositor effective October 3, 2008 through December 31, 2009. On
May 20, 2009, the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit was extended through December
31, 2013. In addition, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee
Program effective October 14, 2008, enabling the FDIC to temporarily provide a
100% guarantee of newly issued senior unsecured debt of all FDIC-insured
institutions and their holding companies issued before June 30, 2009, as well as
deposits in non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts through December
31, 2009. Coverage under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program was available
for 30 days without charge and thereafter at a cost of 75 basis points per annum
for senior unsecured debt and 10 basis points per annum for non-interest bearing
transaction deposits. The Corporation has determined it will continue to
participate in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program for non-interest
bearing deposit accounts after the 30 day initial period but did not participate
in the issuance of unsecured debt. On August 26, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final
rule extending the FDIC’s guarantee of qualifying noninterest-bearing
transaction accounts under the Transaction Account Guarantee program (TAG) for
six months until June 30, 2010 in order to assure an orderly phase-out of the
TAG. Each insured institution that continues to participate in the extended TAG
program will be subject to increased fees ranging from 15 basis points to 25
basis points, depending on its risk category rating. The Corporation has decided
to continue to participate in the TAG program during the extension period. It is
not clear at this time what impact these programs announced by the Treasury and
other bank regulatory agencies and any additional programs that may be initiated
in the future, will have on the Corporation or the financial markets as a
whole.
Other
Information
Pending
Legislation
The
Corporation continues to monitor and assess legislation and regulatory matters
for their impact to the Corporation and their effect on capital, liquidity and
the results of operations. Any future legislation or regulatory matters may
affect the Corporation’s capital, liquidity and results of operations in a
material adverse manner.
Effects of
Inflation
Inflation
has some impact on the Corporation and the Bank’s operating costs. Unlike many
industrial companies, however, substantially all of the Bank’s assets and
liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s performance than the
general level of inflation. Over short periods of time, interest rates may not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as prices of
goods and services.
Effect of Government
Monetary Policies
The
earnings of the Corporation are and will be affected by domestic economic
conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government
and its agencies. An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate
the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement
those objectives are open market operations in United States government
securities and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits.
These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth
and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may also
affect rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.
The Bank
is a member of the Federal Reserve and, therefore, the policies and regulations
of the Federal Reserve have a significant effect on its deposits, loans and
investment growth, as well as the rate of interest earned and paid, and are
expected to affect the Bank’s operations in the future. The effect of such
policies and regulations upon the future business and earnings of the
Corporation and the Bank cannot be predicted.
Environmental
Regulations
There are
several federal and state statutes, which regulate the obligations and
liabilities of financial institutions pertaining to environmental issues. In
addition to the potential for attachment of liability resulting from its own
actions, a bank may be held liable under certain circumstances for the actions
of its borrowers, or third parties, when such actions result in environmental
problems on properties that collateralize loans held by the bank. Further, the
liability has the potential to far exceed the original amount of a loan issued
by the bank. Currently, neither the Corporation nor the Bank are a party to any
pending legal proceeding pursuant to any environmental statute, nor are the
Corporation and the Bank aware of any circumstances that may give rise to
liability under any such statute.
Branching
During
the first quarter of 2009, the Corporation opened a new branch in Conshohocken,
Montgomery County. In conjunction with the expiration of its lease, the Bank
consolidated the operations of its Warminster K-Mart Plaza branch into the
nearby offices of Warminster Square and Warminster Johnsville Boulvard at the
end of business on June 30, 2009. In conjunction with the expiration of its
lease, the Bank decided it will consolidate the operations of its Rhawnhurst
branch into the nearby offices of Bustleton and Somerton at the end of business
on November 13, 2009. As the Bank continues to evaluate its retail delivery
system to better serve customers’ needs, it identified significant overlap with
other nearby locations in these two market areas.
Item 3
–
Qualitative and Quantitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
In the
normal course of conducting business activities, the Corporation is exposed to
market risk, principally interest risk, through the operations of its banking
subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in
interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial
instruments. The Asset/Liability Committee of the Corporation, using policies
and procedures approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors, is responsible for
managing the rate sensitivity position.
During
the fourth quarter of 2008 through 2009, the economy has experienced a continued
decline in the housing market, reductions in credit facilities, disruptions in
the financial system, and volatility in the financial markets, all resulting in
short-term rate reductions by the Federal Open Market Committee and the creation
of programs by Congress and the Treasury Department for the purpose of
stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. This has
created a challenging interest rate environment for the Corporation which has
impacted our interest rate sensitivity exposure. A detailed discussion of market
risk is provided on pages 39 and 40 of this Form 10-Q.

Controls and
Procedures
(i) Management’s
Report on Disclosure Controls
Our
management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms and are operating in an effective
manner and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
(ii) Changes
in Internal Controls
In
connection with the ongoing review of the Corporation’s internal controls over
financial reporting as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Corporation regularly assesses
the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting and enhances its
controls in response to internal control assessments and internal and external
audit and regulatory recommendations. There have been no changes in the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter
of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1.
Legal
Proceedings
As a
result of the acquisition of Willow Financial, the Corporation recorded a
liability in purchase accounting of $2.7 million, of which $562,000 is remaining
at September 30, 2009, in connection with certain legal contingencies which
existed prior to the acquisition. The amount accrued represents estimated
settlement and legal costs on ongoing litigation assumed from Willow Financial.
There can be no assurance that any of the outstanding legal proceedings to which
the Corporation is a party as a successor in interest to Willow Financial will
not be decided adversely to the Corporation’s interests and have a material
effect on the financial condition and operations of the
Corporation.
Management,
based on consultation with the Corporation’s legal counsel, is not aware of any
other litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position of the Corporation. Except as noted above, there are no
proceedings pending other than the ordinary routine litigation incident to the
business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries—the Bank, HNC Financial Company
and HNC Reinsurance Company. In addition, no material proceedings are pending or
are known to be threatened or contemplated against the Corporation and the Bank
by government authorities.

for the addition of the risk factors detailed below, there have been no material
changes in risk factors from those disclosed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” in

Risks related to the Merger
with First
Niagara
Regulatory
Approvals May Not be Received, May Take Longer Than Expected or May Impose
Conditions That are Not Presently Anticipated or Cannot be
Met.
Before
the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, including the merger and
the bank merger, may be completed, various approvals or consents must be
obtained from the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) and various bank
regulatory and other authorities. These governmental entities, including the
OTS, may impose conditions on the completion of the merger or the bank merger or
require changes to the terms of the merger agreement. Although Harleysville
National Corporation does not currently expect that any such conditions or
changes would be imposed, there can be no assurance that they will not be, and
such conditions or changes could have the effect of delaying completion of the
transactions contemplated in the merger agreement or imposing additional costs
on or limiting First Niagara’s revenues, any of which might have a material
adverse effect on First Niagara following the merger. There can be no assurance
as to whether the regulatory approvals will be received, the timing of those
approvals, or whether any conditions will be imposed.
On May
28, 2009, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) imposed an
individual minimum capital requirement on Harleysville National Bank, requiring
it to increase its regulatory capital ratios. Pending completion of the merger,
and subject to various approvals, First Niagara is considering taking certain
actions to assist Harleysville National Bank in achieving and maintaining
capital ratios consistent with “well-capitalized” status and ameliorate the
OCC’s supervisory concerns, including: (1) extending a loan, in an amount not to
exceed $50.0 million, to Harleysville National Corporation the proceeds of which
could be contributed to Harleysville National Bank as Tier One capital, which
loan would be secured by the stock of Harleysville National Bank; (2) having
First Niagara Bank purchase up to $80.0 million of performing commercial loans
from Harleysville National Bank; and (3) having Harleysville National Bank
originate, for a fee, residential and home equity loans for First Niagara Bank,
based on First Niagara Bank’s underwriting standards. There can be no assurance
that any of these actions will be implemented, or will not be objected to by the
relevant banking regulators, or if implemented, that the terms and conditions
will be as discussed above, or that such actions will result in achieving the
desired results. If the merger is not completed, First Niagara may lose all or a
portion of the funds it invests, if any, in Harleysville National Corporation in
order to assist it in achieving and maintaining “well-capitalized”
status.
The Merger
Agreement May Be Terminated in Accordance With Its Terms and The Merger May Not
Be Completed.
The
merger agreement with Harleysville National Corporation is subject to a number
of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to close. Those conditions
include: Harleysville National Corporation shareholder approval, regulatory
approval, the continued accuracy of certain representations and warranties by
both parties and the performance by both parties of certain covenants and
agreements. In particular, the merger agreement defines the occurrence of $350.0
million or greater in Harleysville National Corporation delinquent loans as of
any month end prior to the closing date, excluding any month end subsequent to
February 28, 2010, as a material adverse effect which would allow First Niagara
to terminate the merger agreement. As of September 30, 2009, the amount of
Harleysville National Corporation delinquent loans was $193.3 million. In
addition, certain circumstances exist where Harleysville National Corporation
may choose to terminate the merger agreement, including the acceptance of a
superior proposal or the decline in First Niagara’s share price to below $9.28
as of the first date when all regulatory approvals for the merger have been
received combined with such decline being at least 20% greater than a
corresponding price decline of the Nasdaq Bank Index, with no adjustment made to
the exchange ratio by First Niagara. Under such circumstances, First Niagara
may, but is not required to, increase the exchange ratio in order to
avoid
termination of the merger agreement. First Niagara has not determined whether it
would increase the exchange ratio in order to avoid termination of the merger
agreement by Harleysville National Corporation. There can be no assurance that
the conditions to closing the merger will be fulfilled or that the merger will
be completed.
Harleysville
National Corporation’s Asset Quality May Deteriorate Prior to Completion of the
Merger.
Harleysville
National Corporation’s nonperforming assets were $153.7 million at September 30,
2009 and $138.9 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $78.5 million at December
31, 2008. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 2.98% at
September 30, 2009 and 2.67% at June 30, 2009, compared to 1.43% at December 31,
2008 and 0.98% at September 30, 2008. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of
2009 were $7.8 million, compared to $2.1 million in the same period of 2008. The
allowance for credit losses increased to $77.3 million at September 30, 2009,
compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2008, and $31.7 million at September
30, 2008. Should these adverse trends continue, they may have an adverse effect
on Harleysville National Corporation’s financial and capital positions, and may
differ from First Niagara’s estimates thereof.
First Niagara
Could Record Future Impairment Losses on Harleysville National Corporation’s
Holdings of Investment Securities Available For Sale. First Niagara May Not
Receive Full Future Interest Payments on These Securities.
Harleysville
National Corporation’s investment portfolio of securities available for sale
includes trust preferred securities, private label collateralized mortgage
obligations and collateralized debt obligations. Harleysville National
Corporation recognized other than temporary impairment charges totaling
approximately $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a
result of impairment charges mainly on collateralized debt obligations as well
as collateralized mortgage obligations. If the merger with Harleysville National
Corporation is completed, First Niagara will take ownership of these securities.
A number of factors or combinations of factors could cause First Niagara to
conclude in one or more future reporting periods that an unrealized loss that
exists with respect to these securities constitutes an additional impairment
that is other than temporary, which could result in material losses to First
Niagara. These factors include, but are not limited to, continued failure to
make scheduled interest payments, an increase in the severity of the unrealized
loss on a particular security, an increase in the continuous duration of the
unrealized loss without an improvement in value or changes in market conditions
and/or industry or issuer specific factors that would render First Niagara
unable to forecast a full recovery in value. In addition, the fair values of
these investment securities could decline if the overall economy and the
financial condition of some of the issuers continue to deteriorate and there
remains limited liquidity for these securities.
First Niagara May
Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Merger
.
The
success of the merger will depend on, among other things, First Niagara’s
ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to combine the businesses of
First Niagara Bank and Harleysville National Bank in a manner that permits
growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt the existing customer
relationships of Harleysville National Bank nor result in decreased revenues
resulting from any loss of customers. If First Niagara is not able to
successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger
may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than
expected.
First
Niagara and Harleysville National Corporation have operated and, until the
completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. Certain
employees of Harleysville National Corporation will not be employed by First
Niagara after the merger. In addition, employees of Harleysville National
Corporation that First Niagara wishes to retain may elect to terminate their
employment as a result of the merger which could delay or disrupt the
integration process. It is possible that the integration process could result in
the disruption of Harleysville National Corporation’s ongoing businesses or
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely
affect the ability of First Niagara to maintain relationships with customers and
employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger.
Harleysville

Harleysville
National Corporation Shareholders Cannot Be Certain of the Amount of Nor the
Market Value of The Merger Consideration They Will Receive, Because the Market
Price of First Niagara Common Stock Will Fluctuate and The Exchange Ratio is
Subject to a Downward Adjustment in the Event that Harleysville National
Corporation Delinquent Loans are $237.5 Million or Greater.
Upon
completion of the merger, each share of Harleysville National Corporation common
stock will be converted into merger consideration consisting of 0.474 of a share
of First Niagara common stock. This exchange ratio is subject to downward
adjustment, as described in the merger agreement and in this Form 10-Q, in the
event that certain of Harleysville National Corporation delinquent loans are
$237.5 million or greater as of the month end prior to closing date of this
transaction. As of September 30, 2009, the amount of Harleysville National
Corporation delinquent loans was $193.3 million. As a result, the amount of
merger consideration a shareholder will receive if the merger is consummated is
subject to change. In addition, the market value of the merger consideration may
vary from the closing price of First Niagara common stock on the date it
announced the merger, , on the date of the special meeting of the Harleysville
National Corporation shareholders and on the date it completes the merger and
thereafter. Any change in exchange ratio or the market price of First Niagara
common stock prior to completion of the merger will affect the amount of and the
market value of the merger consideration that Harleysville National Corporation
shareholders will receive upon completion of the merger. Accordingly, at the
time of the special meeting, Harleysville National Corporation shareholders will
not know or be able to calculate with certainty the amount nor the market value
of the merger consideration they would receive upon completion of the merger.
Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general
market and economic conditions, changes in its respective businesses, operations
and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond
First Niagara’s control. You should obtain current market quotations for shares
of First Niagara common stock and for shares of Harleysville National
Corporation common stock before you vote.
Harleysville
National Corporation Shareholders Will Have a Reduced Ownership and Voting
Interest After the Merger and Will Exercise Less Influence Over
Management.
Harleysville
National Corporation’s shareholders currently have the right to vote in the
election of the Harleysville National Corporation board of directors and on
other matters affecting Harleysville National Corporation. When the merger
occurs, each Harleysville National Corporation shareholder that receives shares
of First Niagara common stock will become a shareholder of First Niagara with a
percentage ownership of the combined organization that is much smaller than the
shareholder’s percentage ownership of Harleysville National Corporation. Because
of this, Harleysville National Corporation’s shareholders will have less
influence on the management and policies of First Niagara than they now have on
the management and policies of Harleysville National Corporation.
Termination of
the Merger Agreement Could Negatively Impact Harleysville National
Corporation.

Niagara may terminate the merger agreement for the reasons set forth in the
merger agreement, including if Harleysville National Corporation delinquent
loans equal or exceed $350.0 million as of any month end prior to the closing
date of the merger, excluding any month end after February 28, 2010. If the
merger agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences
including:
|
•
|
|
Harleysville
National Corporation’s businesses may have been adversely impacted by the
failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of
management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated
benefits of completing the merger; and
|
|
•
|
|
the
market price of Harleysville National Corporation common stock might
decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market
assumption that the merger will be
completed.
|
If the
merger agreement is terminated and Harleysville National Corporation’s board of
directors seeks another merger or business combination, Harleysville National
Corporation shareholders cannot be certain that Harleysville National
Corporation will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more
attractive price than the price First Niagara has agreed to pay in the
merger.
The Opinion of
Harleysville National Corporation’s Financial Advisor Will Not Reflect Changes
in Circumstances Between Signing the Merger Agreement and the Merger, Including
Any Reduction in the Merger Consideration as a Result of Harleysville National
Corporation’s Loan Delinquencies.
Harleysville
National Corporation’s financial advisor, JPMorgan, rendered an opinion dated
July 26, 2009, to the Harleysville National Corporation board of directors,
that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions
set forth in its written opinion (including, without limitation, that the
exchange ratio would be 0.474, and that the level of Harleysville National
Corporation delinquent loans would not result in any adjustment to the exchange
ratio), as well as the extraordinary circumstances facing Harleysville National
Corporation referred to in such written opinion, the exchange ratio of 0.474 of
a share of First Niagara common stock to be received in respect of each share of
Harleysville National Corporation common stock pursuant to the merger agreement
was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Harleysville National
Corporation common stock. The opinion of JPMorgan, which will not be applicable
if the exchange ratio is reduced due to the level of Harleysville National
Corporation delinquent loans, was based on economic, market and other conditions
as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date
thereof. JPMorgan assumed no responsibility for updating, revising or
reaffirming its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events occurring
after the date thereof.
Changes
in the operations and prospects of First Niagara or Harleysville National
Corporation, general market and economic conditions and other factors on which
Harleysville National Corporation’s financial advisor’s opinion was based, may
significantly alter the value of First Niagara or Harleysville National
Corporation or the prices of shares of First Niagara common stock or
Harleysville National Corporation common stock by the time the merger is
completed. The opinion does not speak as of the time the merger will be
completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. The
Harleysville National Corporation board of directors’ recommendation that
holders of Harleysville National Corporation common stock vote “FOR” adoption of
the merger agreement, however, is as of the date of this document.
The Merger
Agreement Limits Harleysville National Corporation’s Ability to Pursue
Alternatives to the Merger.
The
merger agreement contains “no shop” provisions that, subject to limited
exceptions, limit Harleysville National Corporation’s ability to discuss,
facilitate or commit to competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a
significant part of Harleysville National Corporation. In addition, Harleysville
National Corporation has agreed to pay First Niagara a termination fee in the
amount of $10.0 million in the event that Harleysville National Corporation
terminates the merger agreement for certain reasons. These provisions might
discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in
acquiring all or a significant part of Harleysville National Corporation from
considering or proposing that acquisition even if it were prepared to pay
consideration with a higher per share market price than that proposed in the
merger, or might result in a potential competing acquiror’s proposing to pay a
lower per share price to acquire Harleysville National Corporation than it might
otherwise have proposed to pay. Harleysville National Corporation can consider
and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to an alternative
proposal so long as the Harleysville National Corporation board of directors
determines in good faith (after consultation with legal counsel) that failure to
do so would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary
duties to Harleysville National Corporation shareholders under applicable
law.
The Merger is
Subject to the Receipt of Consents and Approvals From Government Entities that
May Impose Conditions that Could Have an Adverse Effect on the Combined Company
Following the Merger.
Before
the merger may be completed, various approvals or consents must be obtained from
the Office of Thrift Supervision and other governmental entities. These
government entities, including the Office of Thrift Supervision, may impose
conditions on the completion of the merger or require changes to the terms of
the merger. Although First Niagara and Harleysville National Corporation do not
currently expect that any such material conditions or changes would be imposed,
there can be no assurance that they will not be, and such conditions or changes
could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or imposing
additional costs on or limiting the revenues of First Niagara following the
merger, any of which might have a material adverse effect on First Niagara
following the merger.
The Merger is
Subject to Closing Conditions, Including Shareholder Approval, that, if Not
Satisfied or Waived, Will Result in the Merger Not Being Completed, Which May
Result in Material Adverse Consequences to Harleysville National Corporation’s
Business and Operations.
The
merger is subject to closing conditions, including the approval of Harleysville
National Corporation shareholders that, if not satisfied, will prevent the
merger from being completed. The closing condition that Harleysville National
Corporation shareholders adopt the
merger
agreement may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the
merger to be completed. All directors of Harleysville National Corporation have
agreed to vote their shares of Harleysville National Corporation common stock in
favor of the proposals presented at the special meeting. If Harleysville
National Corporation’s shareholders do not adopt the merger agreement and the
merger is not completed, the resulting failure of the merger could have a
material adverse impact on Harleysville National Corporation’s business and
operations. In addition to the required approvals and consents from governmental
entities and the approval of Harleysville National Corporation shareholders, the
merger is subject to other conditions beyond First Niagara’s and Harleysville
National Corporation’s control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially
adversely affect its completion. First Niagara cannot predict whether and when
these other conditions will be satisfied.
The Shares of
First Niagara Common Stock to be Received by Harleysville National Corporation
Shareholders as a Result of the Merger Will Have Different Rights From the
Shares of Harleysville National Corporation Common Stock.
Upon
completion of the merger, Harleysville National Corporation shareholders will
become First Niagara shareholders and their rights as shareholders will be
governed by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of First Niagara. The
rights associated with Harleysville National Corporation common stock are
different from the rights associated with First Niagara common
stock.
Several Lawsuits
Have Been Filed Against Harleysville National Corporation and the Members of the
Harleysville National Corporation Board of Directors, As Well As First Niagara,
Challenging the Merger, and an Adverse Judgment in Such Lawsuits May Prevent the
Merger From Becoming Effective or From Becoming Effective Within the Expected
Timeframe.
Harleysville
National Corporation and the members of the Harleysville National Corporation
board of directors are named as defendants in purported class action lawsuits
brought by Harleysville National Corporation shareholders challenging the
proposed merger, seeking, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from
consummating the merger on the agreed-upon terms. First Niagara is also named as
a defendant in some, but not all, of these lawsuits. Additionally, the directors
of Harleysville National Corporation have been named as defendants in four
shareholder derivative lawsuits that also seek, among other things, to enjoin
the consummation of the merger. One of the conditions to the closing of the
merger is that no order, decree or injunction issued by a court or agency of
competent jurisdiction that enjoins or prohibits the consummation of the merger
shall be in effect. As such, if the plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an
injunction prohibiting the defendants from consummating the merger on the agreed
upon terms, then such injunction may prevent the merger from becoming effective,
or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.
Harleysville National Corporation
borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve, and there can
be no assurance these programs will continue in their current
manner.
Harleysville
National Corporation at times utilizes the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of
Pittsburgh for overnight borrowings and term advances; Harleysville National
Corporation also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve through the
discount window and from correspondent banks under our federal funds lines of
credit. The amount loaned to Harleysville National Corporation is generally
dependent on the value of the collateral pledged. These lenders could reduce the
percentages loaned against various collateral categories, could eliminate
certain types of collateral and could otherwise modify or even terminate their
loan programs. Any change or termination would have an adverse affect on
Harleysville National Corporation’s liquidity and profitability.
