Harleysville Savings Financial Corporation
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation -The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harleysville Savings Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiary. Harleysville Savings Bank (the “Bank”) is the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, HSB Inc, a Delaware corporation which was formed in order to hold certain assets, Freedom Financial LLC that allows the Company to offer non deposit products and HARL LLC that allows the Bank to invest in equity investments. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 or any other period. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2009.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant of these estimates is the allowance for loan losses, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s classifications. The reclassifications had no effect on net income.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2009 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through February 12, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued.

New Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. This Update is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in this Update replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. An approach that is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective for identifying which reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s involvement in variable interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users of financial statements. This Update is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have an impact on our financial position or result of operations.

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
    A reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
    In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
    For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
    A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

At December 31, 2009, investment securities in a gross unrealized loss position consisted of 24 securities that at such date had an aggregate depreciation of 2.87% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. Management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities disclosed above is primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates. Management evaluated the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer. The Company has the ability and the intent to hold these securities until maturity and the Company does not believe it will be required to sell such securities prior to the recovery at amortized cost basis. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2009 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

As of December 31, 2009 there were three equity securities in an unrealized loss position. Management evaluated the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment or the discontinuance of a segment of the business that may effect the future earnings potential. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the anticipated recovery of fair value occurs. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2009 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

7. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The restricted stock is carried at cost. In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock.
Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and 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, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.
Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB or restricted stock as of December 31, 2009.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances are collateralized by Federal Home Loan Bank stock and substantially all first mortgage loans. The Company has a line of credit with the FHLB of which $0 out of $75.0 million was used at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, for general purposes, respectively. Included in the table above at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 are convertible advances whereby the FHLB has the option at a predetermined strike rate to convert the fixed interest rate to an adjustable rate tied to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Company then has the option to repay these advances if the FHLB converts the interest rate. These advances are included in the periods in which they mature. The Company has a total FHLB borrowing capacity of $415.0 million of which $247.1 was used as of December 31, 2009. In addition, there are three long-term advances from other financial institutions totaling $50 million that are secured by investment and mortgage-backed securities.
12. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companies consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

13. FAIR VALUES MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” now codified in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.The new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new guidance effective for its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), now codified in ASC Topic 820 which delays the effective date of fair value disclosures for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
The primary effect of the new fair value measurements standard on the Company was to expand the required disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values.
The new guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 are as follows:

The Company has no financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2009.
The following valuation techniques were used to measure fair value of the Company’s financial instruments in the tables above and below:
Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
Securities
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)
The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Impaired loans are those loans which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the loan balances of $509,000 less their specific valuation allowances of $77,000.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of this restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of a aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Borrowings (Carried at Cost)
Fair values of borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Disclosed at Cost)
Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currenctly charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remain terms of the agreements and the counterparies’ credit standing. The fair value of these off-balance sheet finer instruments are not considered material as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009.
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgement is necessarily required to interpret the data to develop the estimates.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. In addition, in those and other portions of this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should” and similar expressions, or the negative thereof, as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future-looking events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
The Company’s business consists of attracting deposits from the general public through a variety of deposit programs and investing such deposits principally in first mortgage loans secured by residential properties, commercial loans and commercial lines of credit in the Company’s primary market area. The Company also originates a variety of consumer loans, predominately home equity loans and lines of credit also secured by residential properties in the Company’s primary lending area. The Company serves its customers through its full-service branch network as well as through remote ATM locations, the internet and telephone banking.
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies. Certain of these policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect the Company’s reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements: allowance for loan losses, and other-than-temporary security impairment.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company evaluates the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of three key elements: (1) specific allowances for certain impaired loans; (2) a general valuation allowance on certain identified problem loans; and (3) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
Specific Allowance Required for Certain Impaired Loans: We establish an allowance for certain impaired loans for the amounts by which the collateral value, present value of future cash flows or observable market price are lower than the carrying value of the loan. Under current accounting guidelines, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
General Valuation Allowance on Certain Identified Problem Loans - We also establish a general allowance for classified loans that do not have an individual allowance. We segregate these loans by loan category and assign allowance percentages to each category based on inherent losses associated with each type of lending and consideration that these loans, in the aggregate, represent an above-average credit risk and that more of these loans will prove to be uncollectible compared to loans in the general portfolio.
General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio - We establish another general allowance for loans that are not classified to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends and management’s evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio. The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are reevaluated monthly to ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities
Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.
Changes in Financial Position for the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2009
Total assets at December 31, 2009 were $839.9 million, an increase of $9.9 million for the three-month period then ended. The increase was primarily due to an increase in loans receivable of approximately $5.3 million, an increase in cash and investments of approximately $10.8 million and an increase of prepaid and other assets of approximately $2.5 million. This increase was offset by a decrease in mortgage-backed securities’ pay-downs totaling $8.9 million. The increase in prepaids and other assets was due to a $3.0 million prepayment of FDIC premiums in December 2009.
Asset growth was primarily funded by growth in deposits during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, total deposits increased by $19.7 million to $486 million. Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance also increased by $2.0 million due to the timing of property tax payments. The increase was offset by a decrease in borrowings of $12.0 million.
Comparisons of Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2009 with the Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2008
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $4.4 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in the net interest income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008 can be attributed to the increase in interest rate spread from 2.08% in 2008 to 2.09% in 2009, and the difference between the average interest earning assets in relation to the average interest earning liabilities in comparable periods. Net income was $1.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2008.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased to $502,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 from $471,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to the fact that the Company had an increase in income related to non deposit products.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, non-interest expenses increased by $316,000 or 11.5% to $3.1 million compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2008. These increased costs are primarily due to the increase in FDIC insurance, normal salary increases and increases in healthcare costs. Management believes that these are reasonable increases in the cost of operations after considering the impact of additional expenses related to the Company’s new commercial loan department business banking and additional FDIC premiums. The annualized ratio of non-interest expenses to average assets for the three month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were 1.47% and 1.33%, respectively.
On October 16, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published a restoration plan designed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund over a period of five years and to increase the deposit insurance reserve ratio to the statutory minimum of 1.15% of insured deposits by December 31, 2013. In order to implement the restoration plan, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation proposes to change both its risk-based assessment system and its base assessment rates. Assessment rates would increase by seven basis points across the range of risk weightings of depository institutions. Changes to the risk-based assessment system would include increasing premiums for institutions that rely on excessive amounts of brokered deposits, including CDARS, increasing premiums for excessive use of secured liabilities, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, lowering premiums for smaller institutions with very high capital levels, and adding financial ratios and debt issuer ratings to the premium calculations for banks with over $10 billion in assets, while providing a reduction for their unsecured debt. FDIC insurance expense increased to $227,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 from $18,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The $209,000 increase was due to an increase in assessment rates, which was effective January 1, 2009.

Income Taxes
The Company made provisions for income taxes of $455,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 respectively, compared to $426,000 for the comparable periods in 2008. These provisions are based on the levels of pre-tax income, adjusted primarily for tax-exempt interest income on investments.
In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, management makes assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Recourses
For a financial institution, liquidity is a measure of the ability to fund customers’ needs for loans and deposit withdrawals. Harleysville Savings Bank regularly evaluates economic conditions in order to maintain a strong liquidity position. One of the most significant factors considered by management when evaluating liquidity requirements is the stability of the Bank’s core deposit base. In addition to cash, the Bank maintains a portfolio of short-term investments to meet its liquidity requirements. Harleysville Savings also relies upon cash flow from operations and other financing activities, generally short-term and long-term debt. Liquidity is also provided by investing activities including the repayment and maturity of loans and investment securities as well as the management of asset sales when considered necessary. The Bank also has access to and sufficient assets to secure lines of credit and other borrowings in amounts adequate to fund any unexpected cash requirements.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $70.3 million in commitments to fund loan originations, disburse loans in process and meet other obligations. Management anticipates that the majority of these commitments will be funded within the next six months by means of normal cash flows and new deposits.
The Company invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Company also has available borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh up to the Company’s maximum borrowing capacity, which was $415.0 million at December 31, 2009 of which $247.1 was outstanding at December 31, 2009.
The Bank’s net income for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is $1.2 million compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2008. This increased the Bank’s stockholder’s equity to $51.0 million or 6.06% of total assets. This amount is well in excess of the Bank’s minimum regulatory capital requirement.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has instituted programs designed to decrease the sensitivity of its earnings to material and prolonged increases in interest rates. The principal determinant of the exposure of the Company’s earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between the repricing or maturity of the Company’s interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. If the maturities of such assets and liabilities were perfectly matched, and if the interest rates borne by its assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved concurrently, neither of which is the case, the impact on net interest income of rapid increases or decreases in interest rates would be minimized. The Company’s asset and liability management policies seek to decrease the interest rate sensitivity by shortening the repricing intervals and the maturities of the Company’s interest-earning assets. Although management of the Company believes that the steps taken have reduced the Company’s overall vulnerability to increases in interest rates, the Company remains vulnerable to material and prolonged increases in interest rates during periods in which its interest rate sensitive liabilities exceed its interest rate sensitive assets. The authority and responsibility for interest rate management is vested in the Company’s Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer implements the Board of Directors’ policies during the day-to-day operations of the Company.
Each month, the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) presents the Board of Directors with a report, which outlines the Company’s asset and liability “gap” position in various time periods. The “gap” is the difference between interest- earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which mature or reprice over a given time period.

Table of Contents

The CFO also meets weekly with the Company’s other senior officers to review and establish policies and strategies designed to regulate the Company’s flow of funds and coordinate the sources, uses and pricing of such funds. The first priority in structuring and pricing the Company’s assets and liabilities is to maintain an acceptable interest rate spread while reducing the effects of changes in interest rates and maintaining the quality of the Company’s assets.
The following table summarizes the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding as of December 31, 2009, which are expected to mature, prepay or reprice in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which mature or reprice during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the asset or liability. Adjustable and floating-rate assets are included in the period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due and fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are included in the periods in which they are anticipated to be repaid.
The passbook accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts, interest bearing accounts, and money market deposit accounts, are included in the “Over 5 Years” categories based on management’s beliefs that these funds are core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities based on the Company’s retention of such deposits in changing interest rate environments.
Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income while a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would result in a decrease in net interest income while a negative gap would positively affect net interest income. However, the following table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company’s’ net interest income because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at different rate levels.

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) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
