Item 1.
Business

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

On July 13, 1994, the Company consummated its public offering of 5,290,000 shares of its common stock and acquired 3rd Fed Bank (the “Bank”) as part of the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion. The Company was originally incorporated under Delaware law in March 1994 and subsequently reorganized as a Pennsylvania Corporation in May 2011. In 2011, the Bank elected to convert from a federally-regulated and chartered financial institution to a state-chartered savings bank and submitted an election to remain a savings association for purposes of holding company regulation following the conversion. The Bank received approval for this conversion from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on December 27, 2011. The official charter conversion became effective January 30, 2012.

The Company is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Department of Banking”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company does not transact any material business other than through its direct and indirect subsidiaries: 3rd Fed Bank, Teragon Financial Corporation, Penns Trail Development Corporation, and Third Delaware Corporation. At December 31, 2013, the Company had total assets of $835.7 million, total liabilities of $740.8 million and stockholders’ equity of $94.9 million.

BUSINESS OF THE BANK

The Bank is a community oriented Pennsylvania-chartered stock savings bank offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the maximum amount allowable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

As of December 31, 2013 the Bank operated eighteen branch offices in Bucks and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania and in Burlington, Mercer and Ocean counties, New Jersey.

The Bank attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds primarily to originate or purchase loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to four-family residences in its market area and to invest in mortgage-backed and investment securities. At December 31, 2013, one-to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $372.3 million or 60% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. At that same date, the Bank had approximately $46.8 million or 6% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities and $78.7 million or 9% of total assets in investment securities. The Bank also originates commercial real estate and multi-family, construction and consumer loans.

The Bank has two subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation, which was incorporated in 1998 for the purpose of holding and investing in securities for the Bank, and Teragon Financial Corporation which holds a 75% limited partnership interest in a captive title insurance agency, Third Fed Abstract, L. P. During 2007, Teragon Financial Corporation was granted approval by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to conduct business as an insurance agency.

 
Acquisition of Roebling Financial Corp, Inc.

On July 2, 2013, the Company closed on a merger transaction with Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. The acquisition is discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report to Stockholders filed as Exhibit 13 hereto (the “Annual Report”).

 
Market Area

The Bank offers a wide range of consumer and business products at its eighteen full service branch offices located in Bucks and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, Mercer and Ocean counties in New Jersey. Five of the branch offices are located in Bucks County, the third wealthiest county in Pennsylvania. Bucks County is a growing region offering opportunity for growth for the Bank. Six branches are located in the northeast section of Philadelphia where the Bank was founded. Although Philadelphia County is experiencing population decline, the Bank’s branches in this section of Philadelphia represent a deposit stronghold. Five branches were acquired due to the acquisition of Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. Four of these branches are located in Burlington County and one branch is located in Ocean County. The acquisition of these branches provides new markets in which the Company can offer its array of products and services. The remaining two branches are in Mercer County, New Jersey, which has an expanding population and represents another growth area for the Bank.

 
Competition

The Bank faces varying degrees of competition from banks, thrift institutions and credit unions at its various branch locations. Stronger competition has come from local and very large regional commercial banks based in and around the Philadelphia area. Based upon the latest available data, at June 30, 2013 the Company’s share of deposits in each of the counties in which it operates was as follows:

Lending Activities

General.  The Bank’s loan portfolio composition consists primarily of adjustable-rate (“ARM”) and fixed-rate first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family residences. The Bank also makes commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction loans and consumer and other loans. At December 31, 2013, the Bank’s mortgage loans outstanding were $547.1 million, of which $372.3 million were secured by first mortgages on one-to four-family residential property. Of the one-to four-family residential mortgage loans outstanding at that date, 18% were ARMs and 82% were fixed-rate loans. At that same date, commercial loans secured by real estate totaled $166.0 million, and construction loans totaled $8.8 million. The construction loans are predominately floating-rate, prime-rate-based loans.

Consumer and other loans held by the Bank totaled $65.9 million or 11% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2013, of which $64.2 million consisted of home equity and second mortgage loans. At that same date commercial business loans totaled $6.8 million or 1% of total loans.

One-to Four-Family Mortgage Lending.  The Bank offers first mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family residences in the Bank’s lending area. Typically, such residences are single-family homes that serve as the primary residence of the owner. The Bank generally originates and invests in one-to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the mortgaged property. Loans originated in amounts over 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or selling price of the mortgaged property must be owner-occupied and private mortgage insurance is typically required.

Loan originations are obtained through the Bank’s retail banking channels, the local community, and referrals from established builders and realtors within the Bank’s lending area using direct advertising in local newspapers, branch signage and promotions, and word of mouth referrals. The Bank also has a mortgage lending department that is separate as to its sales efforts from the consumer lending department of the Bank. This department employs a lending manager and several commissioned loan officers. The mortgage loan officers support the Bank’s branches and customers, and additionally engage in calling efforts directed toward realtors, builders, other loan originators and others that can be sources of lending business for the Bank.

The Bank offers a variety of ARM loans with terms of 30 years with interest rates that adjust at the end of six months, one, three, five, seven and ten years and adjust by a maximum of 3% to 5% per adjustment with a cap of 5% to 6% over the life of the loan.

The Bank offers fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms of 10 to 30 years, which are payable monthly. Interest rates charged on fixed-rate mortgage loans are competitively priced based on market conditions. The origination fees for fixed-rate loans range from 0% to 3% depending on the underlying loan coupon. Generally, the Bank’s standard underwriting guidelines for fixed-rate mortgage loans conform to FNMA guidelines.

The Bank sells a portion of its conforming fixed-rate mortgage loan originations in the secondary market to FNMA while retaining the servicing rights on these loans. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank’s portfolio of loans serviced for FHLMC or FNMA totaled approximately $150.8 million. The Bank also brokers a small portion of its loan closings to correspondents on a servicing released basis. However, the Bank is primarily a portfolio lender.

Commercial Lending.  The Bank originates permanent loans secured by commercial real estate including non-owner occupied residential, multi-family dwelling units, professional office buildings and hotels/motels. The Bank generally originates commercial real estate and multi-family loans up to 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. Currently, it is the Bank’s practice to originate commercial real estate and multi-family loans primarily on properties in its general market area. The commercial real estate and multi-family loans in the Bank’s portfolio consist of fixed-rate, ARM and balloon loans originated at prevailing market rates for terms of up to 25 years, and typically either have a scheduled interest rate reset or are callable by the Bank after a 5 to 10 year period.

Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in commercial and multi-family real estate lending is the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project and the borrower’s creditworthiness. Loans secured by income properties are generally larger and involve greater risks than residential mortgage loans because payments on loans secured by income properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be impacted to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy than residential real estate loans. In order to monitor cash flows on income properties, the Bank requires borrowers and loan guarantors, if any, to provide annual financial statements and rent rolls on multi-family loans. Similarly, on commercial office buildings and hotel properties, the Bank requires minimum debt service coverage and obtains operating statements of such properties. At December 31, 2013, the five largest commercial real estate and multi-family loans totaled $25.4 million with no single loan larger than $7.6 million.

Construction and Land Acquisition Lending.  At December 31, 2013, the Bank’s construction and land acquisition loans totaled $8.8 million or 1% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the construction. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Land acquisition lending is susceptible to the risks of obtaining necessary approvals and permits, and the feasibility of the project once such approvals are obtained. At December 31, 2013, the five largest construction and land acquisition loans totaled $6.8 million with no single loan larger than $2.9 million.

Consumer and Other Loans.  The Bank also offers consumer and other loans in the form of home equity and second mortgage loans (referred to hereinafter collectively as “second mortgage loans”), automobile loans and student loans. These loans totaled $65.9 million or 11% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2013. The Bank originates consumer loans through its retail banking channel and mortgage loan department.

In connection with consumer loan applications, the Bank verifies the borrower’s income and reviews a credit bureau report. In addition, the relationship of the loan to the value of the collateral is evaluated. All automobile loan applications are reviewed and approved by the Bank. The Bank reviews the credit report of the borrower as well as the value of the vehicle which secures the loan.

Consumer loans tend to be originated at higher interest rates than conventional residential mortgage loans and for shorter terms, thus facilitating the Bank’s interest rate risk management. Consumer loans can have a higher risk of default than residential mortgage loans.
 
The Bank offers second mortgage loans on one-to four-family residences. At December 31, 2013, second mortgage and home equity loans totaled $64.2 million, or 10% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. Second mortgage loans are offered as fixed-rate loans for a term not to exceed 15 years or prime-rate-based floating rate loans with amortization periods up to 15 years and in some cases, an

interest-only period of up to the first 60 months of the loan term. Such loans are only made on owner-occupied one-to four-family residences and are subject to a 90% combined loan to value ratio. The underwriting standards for second mortgage loans are the same as the Bank’s standards applicable to one-to four-family residential loans.

Commercial and Industrial Loans.  The Bank makes commercial business loans predominantly on a secured or guaranteed basis. The terms of these loans generally do not exceed five years. These loans can have floating interest rates which adjust with changes in market interest rates, usually the prime rate, or have a fixed rate related to their term to maturity. The Bank’s commercial business loans primarily consist of short-term loans for equipment, working capital, business expansion, interim financing for the purchase of income-producing property and inventory financing, and may not be real estate secured.

The Bank customarily requires a personal guaranty of payment by the principals of any borrowing entity and reviews the financial statements and income tax returns of the guarantors. At December 31, 2013, the Bank had approximately $6.8 million outstanding in commercial business loans, which represented approximately 1% of its total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2013, the five largest commercial business loans totaled $4.1 million with no single loan larger than $1.3 million.

Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting.  The Board of Directors of the Bank sets the authority to approve loans based on the amount, type of loan (i.e., secured or unsecured) and total exposure to the borrower. Where there are one or more existing loans to a borrower, the level of approval required is governed by the proposed total exposure including the new loan. The Board has approved loan authority and limits for certain of the Bank’s lending personnel and senior officers, including the president of the Bank. Individual approval authority ranges from $100,000 to $1.0 million for secured loans, and $50,000 to $100,000 for unsecured loans. Members of an in-house loan committee including five senior members of management can approve in certain combinations all loans over $1.0 million up to $2.0 million. The committee has the authority to approve secured loans up to $2.0 million and unsecured loans up to $200,000. Secured loans greater than $2.0 million through $5.0 million and unsecured loans greater than $200,000 through $3.0 million require the approval of the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed of four members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. All loans over $5 million or loans that cause the aggregate lending relationship to exceed $5.0 million must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

One-to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to FNMA guidelines. For all loans originated by the Bank, upon receipt of a completed loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report is obtained, income and certain other information is verified and, if necessary, additional financial information may be required. The Bank does not engage in sub-prime, stated income or “no-doc” style portfolio lending. An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is required and is performed by an independent appraiser designated and approved by the Bank. The Bank makes construction/permanent loans on individual properties. Funds advanced during the construction phase are held in a loan-in-process account and disbursed based upon various stages of completion. An independent appraiser or loan officer determines the stage of completion based upon a physical inspection of the construction and funds are advanced only for work in place. It is the Bank’s policy to obtain title insurance or a title opinion on all real estate first mortgage loans in excess of $500,000. Borrowers must also obtain hazard or flood insurance (for loans on property located in a flood zone) prior to closing the loan.

Loans to One Borrower. Under applicable Pennsylvania and federal law, the Bank has, subject to certain exemptions, a lending limit to one borrower in an amount equal to 15% of the Bank’s capital account. In addition, the Bank may extend credit to a single borrower secured by federal and state securities and other specified collateral in an amount up to an additional 10% of its capital account. A Pennsylvania bank’s capital account includes the aggregate of all capital, surplus, undivided profits, capital securities, and general reserves for loan losses. The Bank’s maximum loan-to-one borrower limit was approximately $14.1 million as of December 31, 2013 and the Bank’s five largest aggregate lending relationships pursuant to the loans to one borrower regulations had balances ranging from $5.8 to $8.4 million.

Mortgage-Backed Securities

To supplement lending activities, the Bank invests in residential mortgage-backed securities. The majority of such securities are classified as available for sale. In addition, they serve as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, are a source of liquidity.

The mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of December 31, 2013, consisted of pass-through certificates issued by the FHLMC ($10.4 million), FNMA ($29.6 million), GNMA ($2.8 million), and REMICs formed from pass-through certificates issued by these same agencies ($4.0 million).

At December 31, 2013, the amortized cost of mortgage-backed securities totaled $46.5 million, or 6% of total assets, and the fair value of such securities totaled approximately $47.0 million.

The Bank’s mortgage-backed securities which are so-called “pass-through” represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed through intermediaries (generally quasi-governmental agencies) to investors such as the Bank. Such quasi-governmental agencies, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors, include FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. The REMIC securities are composed of the same loan types as the pass-through certificates, but offer differing characteristics as to their expected cash flows depending on the class of such securities purchased. The Bank’s REMICs are primarily “planned amortization classes” (“PAC”), “very accurately defined maturity” (“VADM”) classes, and short-term “sequential” classes that, when purchased, offered a high probability of predictable cash flows.

Nonperforming and Problem Assets

Loan Collection.  When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank takes a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. In the case of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the Bank generally sends the borrower a written notice of non-payment after the loan is 15 days past due. In the event payment is not then received, additional letters and phone calls are made. If the loan is still not brought current and it becomes necessary for the Bank to take

 
7

 
 


legal action, which typically occurs after a loan is delinquent more than 90 days, the Bank will commence foreclosure proceedings against any real property that secures the loan and attempt to repossess any personal property that secures a consumer loan. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan generally is obtained by the Bank at foreclosure.

In the case of commercial real estate and multi-family loans, and construction loans, the Bank generally attempts to contact the borrower by telephone after any loan payment is ten days past due and a senior loan officer reviews all collection efforts made if payment is not received after the loan is 30 days past due. Decisions as to when to commence foreclosure actions for commercial real estate and multi-family loans and construction loans are made on a case by case basis. The Bank may consider loan work-out arrangements with these types of borrowers in certain circumstances.

Delinquent Loans.  Generally, the Bank establishes a reserve for uncollected interest on loans past due more than 90 days. These loans are included in the table of nonaccrual loans below. Loans also are placed on a nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income and the further accrual of interest ceases unless the underlying facts that prompted a nonaccrual determination are deemed to have improved significantly.

Nonperforming Assets.  The following table sets forth information regarding nonaccrual loans and real estate owned by the Bank at the dates indicated. The Bank had no loans contractually past due more than 90 days for which accrued interest has been recorded.

Nonperforming construction loans include a participation in a commercial construction project with a principal balance due of $3.1 million. The Bank has recorded a partial charge-off of $198,000 from the allowance for loan losses equal to the difference between the recorded investment and a recent appraisal. Additionally, $2.0 million of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to this loan for a potential shortfall related to the disposition of the loan.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank was not aware of any other significant potential problem loans. “Potential problem loans” are loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrowers’ ability to comply with present repayment terms.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank had no foreign loans and no loan concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans. “Loan concentrations” are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.

Real Estate Owned.  Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure, judgment or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned (“REO”) until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of fair value, minus estimated cost to sell, or the recorded investment in the loan. If the property subsequently decreases in estimated value from the initial recorded amount, the Bank will provide a valuation allowance, through a charge to earnings, if the decrease is judged by management to be temporary. If the decrease is judged to be permanent, the Bank will reduce the recorded amount, through a charge to earnings, to the new estimated fair value.

Allowances for Loan Losses.  The Bank provides valuation allowances for estimated losses from uncollectible loans. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis to ensure that a provision for loan losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level that is appropriate based upon management’s estimate of probable losses. Several sources of data are used in making the evaluation as to the appropriateness of the allowance.

In establishing allowances, an impairment reserve is established for loans which because of past payment history, a review of recent financial information, or other facts regarding the credit, pose a higher than normal amount of perceived risk of collection. In addition, an allowance is assigned based upon qualitative and quantitative risk factors which are inherent in class of the loan portfolio.

Although the allowance has been determined based on loan class, the total allowance is available to absorb any and all losses from any class of the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2013, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is at an adequate level.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the allocation of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses by loan type at the dates and for the periods indicated:

Investment Securities

The purchase of investment securities is designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to complement the Bank’s lending activities. In establishing its investment strategies, the Bank considers its business and growth plans, the economic environment, the types of securities to be held and other factors. Pennsylvania-chartered savings banks have the authority to invest in various types of assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal and state agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured depository institutions, certain bankers acceptances and bills of exchange, and commercial paper and other corporate debt obligations.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The Bank’s deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding its offices, and the Bank relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits. The Bank has historically maintained a high level of core deposits consisting of regular savings, money market, noninterest-bearing checking, and NOW checking, which has contributed to a low cost-of-funds. At December 31, 2013, core deposits amounted to 72% of total deposits.

Borrowings.  Deposits are the primary source of funds of the Bank’s lending and investment activities and for its general business purposes. The Bank may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh to supplement its supply of lendable funds. Advances from the FHLB are typically secured by a pledge of the Bank’s stock in the FHLB and a portion of the Bank’s first mortgage loans. The Bank may also access the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. The following tables set forth the maximum month-end balance, period ending balance, and weighted average balance of outstanding FHLB advances at the dates and for the periods indicated, together with the applicable weighted average interest rates.

Subsidiary Activity

At December 31, 2013, the Bank had two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Third Delaware Corporation and Teragon Financial Corporation. Third Delaware Corporation was formed in 1998 for the purpose of investing in securities. At December 31, 2013, the Bank had $257.5 million invested in Third Delaware Corporation. During 2004, Teragon Financial Corporation (“Teragon”) invested $7,500 in a limited partnership entitled Third Fed Abstract, L. P., whose purpose is to operate a title insurance agency, primarily to capture certain title insurance premiums generated by the Bank’s lending activities. At December 31, 2013 the Bank had an investment of $223,000 in Teragon. During 2007, Teragon was granted approval by the state of Pennsylvania to conduct business as an insurance agency, and during 2013, Teragon received $18,000 of insurance commissions.

 
Personnel

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 184 full-time and 19 part-time employees. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

REGULATION

Set forth below is a brief description of all material laws and regulations which relate to the regulation of the Bank and the Company. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

Financial Reform Legislation.  On July 21, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Act into law. The Dodd-Frank Act has and will likely result in dramatic changes across the financial regulatory system, some of which became effective immediately and some of which will not become effective until various future dates. Implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act will require many new rules to be made by various federal regulatory agencies over the next several years, some of which have been made, and the effect of many of the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions will be determined through the rulemaking process.
 
Some of the provisions may have the consequence of increasing our expenses, decreasing our revenues, and changing the activities in which we choose to engage. At a minimum, we expect that the Dodd-Frank Act will increase our operating and compliance costs. The specific impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our current activities or new financial activities will be considered in the future, and our financial performance and the markets in which we operate will depend on the manner in which the relevant agencies develop and implement the required rules and the reaction of market participants to these regulatory developments. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers, or the financial industry in general.

Company Regulation

General.  The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the FRB. As such, the Company is required to register and file reports with the FRB and is subject to regulation and examination by the FRB. In addition, the FRB has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, which also permits the FRB to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary institution. This regulation and oversight is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Bank and not for the benefit of stockholders of the Company.

The Company must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it may acquire control of another bank or savings institution, merge or consolidate with another bank holding company or savings and loan holding company or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank, savings institution or depository institution holding company. The Company must also obtain prior Federal Reserve approval before it may acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, savings institution or depository institution holding company if, after such acquisition, the Company would directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of such shares. The Company is also required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the FRB and the SEC.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) implemented legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud and improve public company reporting. The SEC has promulgated new regulations pursuant to the Act and may continue to propose additional implementing or clarifying regulations as necessary in furtherance of the Act. The passage of the Act by Congress and the implementation of new regulations by the SEC subject publicly-traded companies to additional and more cumbersome reporting regulations and disclosure. Compliance with the Act and corresponding regulations may increase the Company’s expenses.

Financial Modernization.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB”) permits qualifying bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. GLB defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the FRB has determined to be closely related to banking. A qualifying bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development, and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank.

GLB also prohibits new unitary thrift holding companies from engaging in nonfinancial activities or from affiliating with a nonfinancial entity. As a grandfathered unitary thrift holding company, the Company has retained its authority to engage in nonfinancial activities.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided the Bank satisfies the QTL test. See “Bank Regulation — Qualified Thrift Lender Test.” If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank) would become subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies unless such other associations each also qualify as a QTL and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

Restrictions on Dividends.  The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank and savings and loan holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve’s view that a holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the holding company’s net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the holding company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Federal Reserve also indicated that it would be inappropriate for a holding company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Furthermore, under the federal prompt corrective action regulations, the Federal Reserve may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company’s bank subsidiary is classified as “undercapitalized.”

 
Bank Regulation

General.  As a Pennsylvania-chartered, FDIC insured savings bank, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation and regular examination by the Department of Banking and by the FDIC, which insures its deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law. The federal and state laws and regulations applicable to banks regulate, among other things, the scope of their business, their investments, the reserves required to be kept against deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited funds and the nature and amount of and collateral for certain loans.
 

 
14

 
 

 
The Bank must file reports with the Department of Banking and the FDIC concerning its financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or acquisitions of other banks or savings institutions. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the Department of Banking, the FDIC or the Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank and their operations.

Pennsylvania Savings Bank Law.  The Pennsylvania Banking Code (“Banking Code”) contains detailed provisions governing the organization, location of offices, rights and responsibilities of directors, officers, and employees, as well as the corporate powers, lending authority, savings and investment operations and other aspects of the Bank and its affairs. The Banking Code delegates extensive rule-making power and administrative discretion to the Department of Banking so that the supervision and regulation of state-chartered savings banks may be flexible and readily responsive to changes in economic conditions and in savings and lending practices.

The Banking Code also provides state-chartered savings banks with all the powers enjoyed by the federal savings institutions, subject to regulation by the Department of Banking.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act, however, prohibits state-chartered banks from making new investments, loans, or becoming involved in activities as principal and equity investments that not permitted for national banks unless (1) the FDIC determines the activity or investment does not pose a significant risk of loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") and (2) the bank meets all applicable capital requirements. Accordingly, the additional operating authority provided to the Bank by the Banking Code is significantly restricted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts.  The Bank’s deposits are insured by the DIF of the FDIC. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended to increase the maximum deposit insurance amount from $100,000 to $250,000 and extended the unlimited deposit insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts until December 31, 2013. The FDIC determines insurance premiums based on a number of factors, primarily the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the DIF.
 
In May 2009, the FDIC imposed a 5 basis point special assessment on each insured depository institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, subject to a limit that the amount of the special assessment for any institution could not exceed 10 basis points times the institution's deposit insurance assessment base for the second quarter 2009. Further, in November 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a 13-quarter prepayment of FDIC premiums. The prepayment amount was paid in December 2009 and represented an estimated prepayment for deposit insurance assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 through the fourth quarter of 2012. The prepayment amount was used to offset future FDIC premiums beginning with the March 2010 payment through the June 2013 payment. The remaining unexhausted prepayment was refunded to the Company in June 2013.

The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the previous statutory maximum limit on the FDIC’s reserve ratio (which is generally the ratio of the DIF balance to the estimated amount of deposits insured by the DIF) and set the minimum reserve ratio to not less than 1.35 percent of estimated insured deposits or the comparable percentage of the FDIC’s assessment base. The Dodd-Frank Act also required the FDIC to take the steps necessary to attain the 1.35 percent ratio by September 30, 2020, subject to an offsetting requirement for certain institutions.
 
On February 7, 2011, the FDIC issued a final rule to implement changes to the assessment base used to determine risk-based premiums for insured depository institutions as required under the Dodd-Frank Act and also changed the risk-based pricing system necessitated by changes to the assessment base. These changes took effect for the quarter beginning April 1, 2011, and were reflected in the invoices for DIF assessments due September 30, 2011.

Future changes in insurance premiums could have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations and we cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.
 
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of its deposit insurance. 
 
In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund.

Regulatory Capital Requirements.  The FDIC has promulgated capital adequacy requirements for state-chartered banks that, like us, are not members of the Federal Reserve System. The FDIC’s capital regulations require banks to meet two capital standards:

 
15

 
 


(1) a leverage capital requirement of Tier 1 capital equal to at least 4.0% of total adjusted assets; (2) a risk-based capital requirement of qualifying total capital equal to at least 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. In addition, the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulation provides that a bank that has less than the minimum leverage capital requirement will be deemed to be “undercapitalized” and will be subject to various capital plan and activities restriction requirements. The prompt corrective action regulation also provides that any insured depository institution with a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets that is less than 2.0% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe or unsound condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and could be subject to termination of deposit insurance.

The Bank is also subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the Department of Banking on Pennsylvania-chartered depository institutions. Under the Department of Banking’s capital regulations, a Pennsylvania bank or savings bank must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital (as defined under the FDIC’s capital regulations) to total assets of 4.0%. In addition, the Department of Banking has the supervisory discretion to require a higher leverage ratio for any institution based on the institution’s substandard performance in any of a number of areas.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements.

Dividend Limitations.  The Banking Code provides that dividends may be declared and paid by a Pennsylvania bank only out of accumulated net earnings and may not be declared or paid unless surplus (retained earnings) is at least equal to contributed capital. The Bank has not declared or paid any dividends that have caused its retained earnings to be reduced below the amount required. In addition, the Bank may not declare or pay a dividend if the Bank is in default in payment of any assessment due the FDIC or if the effect of the dividend would be to reduce the regulatory capital of the Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account established at the time of the Bank’s mutual-to-stock conversion. Furthermore, as the subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, the Bank is required to provide the FRB with notice of a proposed capital distribution at least 30 days before declaring a dividend to the Company.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  The Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”), as amended, requires subsidiary institutions of savings and loan holding companies to meet a QTL test. If the Bank maintains an appropriate level of Qualified Thrift Investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) (“QTIs”) and otherwise qualifies as a QTL, the Company will continue its status as a grandfathered unitary savings and loan holding company. The required percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio assets (defined as all assets minus intangible assets, property used by the institution in conducting its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a percentage limitation of 20% of portfolio assets. In addition, savings institutions may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA and FHLMC as qualifying QTIs. The method for measuring compliance with the QTL test requires an institution to be in compliance nine out of every twelve months. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with its QTL requirement with 71.0% of its assets invested in QTIs.

Federal Home Loan Bank System.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, one of twelve regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB.

As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh in an amount equal to 4.00% of its advances outstanding from the FHLB plus 0.35% of its member asset value (“MAV”). The FHLB determines the Bank’s MAV by assigning a borrowing factor to the Bank’s investment in loans and securities. At December 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement with a MAV of $394.3 million and $3.4 million in FHLB stock.

Federal Reserve System.  The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. As of December 31, 2013, no reserves were required to be maintained on the first $12.4 million of transaction accounts, reserves of 3% were required to be maintained against the next $79.5 million of transaction accounts and a reserve of 10% against all remaining transaction accounts. This percentage is subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement may reduce the amount of an institution’s interest-earning assets.

Savings associations have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount window.”

 
Recent Amendments to Regulatory Capital Requirements

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies approved amendments to their regulatory capital rules to conform with the international regulatory standards agreed to by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in the accord often referred to as “Basel III”. The revisions establish new higher capital ratio requirements, tighten the definitions of capital, impose new operating restrictions on

 
16

 
 


banking organizations with insufficient capital buffers and increase the risk weighting of certain assets. The new capital requirements will apply to all banks and savings associations, bank holding companies with more than $500 million in assets and all savings and loan holding companies (other than certain savings and loan holding companies engaged in insurance underwriting and grandfathered diversified holding companies) regardless of asset size. The rules will become effective for the institutions with assets over $250 billion and internationally active institutions starting in January 2014 and will become effective for all other institutions beginning in January 2015. The following discussion summarizes the changes which are believed most likely to affect the Company and the Bank.

New and Higher Capital Requirements. The regulations establish a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1 Capital” which will consist of common stock instruments and related surplus (net of treasury stock), retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and, subject to certain adjustments, minority common equity interests in subsidiaries. Unlike the current rules which exclude unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities from regulatory capital, the amended rules would require accumulated other comprehensive income to flow through to regulatory capital unless a one-time, irrevocable opt-out election is made in the first regulatory reporting period under the new rule. Depository institutions and their holding companies will be required to maintain Common Equity Tier 1 Capital equal to 4.5% of risk-weighted assets by 2015.

The regulations increase the required ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets from the current 4% to 6% by 2015. Tier 1 Capital will consist of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital plus Additional Tier 1 Capital elements which would include non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. Cumulative preferred stock (other than cumulative preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program or the Small Business Lending Fund) will no longer qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital. Trust preferred securities and other non-qualifying capital instruments issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank and savings and loan holding companies with less than $15 billion in assets as of December 31, 2009 or by mutual holding companies may continue to be included in Tier 1 Capital but will be phased out over 10 years beginning in 2016 for all other banking organizations. These non-qualifying capital instruments, however, may be included in Tier 2 Capital which could also include qualifying subordinated debt. The amended regulations also require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for all institutions, eliminating the 3% option for institutions with the highest supervisory ratings. The minimum required ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets will remain at 8%.

Capital Conservation Buffer Requirement. In addition to higher capital requirements, depository institutions and their holding companies will be required to maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of at least 2.5% of risk-weighted assets over and above the minimum risk-based capital requirements. Institutions that do not maintain the required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in over four years beginning in 2016. The capital conservation buffer requirement effectively raises the minimum required risk-based capital ratios to 7% Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, 8.5% Tier 1 Capital and 10.5% Total Capital on a fully phased-in basis.

Changes to Prompt Corrective Action Capital Categories. The Prompt Corrective Action rules will be amended effective January 1, 2015 to incorporate a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital requirement and to raise the capital requirements for certain capital categories. In order to be adequately capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action rules, a banking organization will be required to have at least an 8% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, a 6% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, a 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio and a 4% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio. To be well capitalized, a banking organization will be required to have at least a 10% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, an 8% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio, a 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio and a 5% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio.
 
Additional Deductions from Capital. Banking organizations will be required to deduct goodwill and other intangible assets (other than certain mortgage servicing assets), net of associated deferred tax liabilities, from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. Deferred tax assets arising from temporary timing differences that cannot be realized through net operating loss carrybacks will continue to be deducted. Deferred tax assets that can be realized through NOL carrybacks will not be deducted but will be subject to 100% risk weighting. Defined benefit pension fund assets, net of any associated deferred tax liability, will be deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 Capital unless the banking organization has unrestricted and unfettered access to such assets. Reciprocal cross-holdings of capital instruments in any other financial institutions will now be deducted from capital, not just holdings in other depository institutions. For this purpose, financial institutions are broadly defined to include securities and commodities firms, hedge and private equity funds and non-depository lenders. Banking organizations will also be required to deduct non-significant investments (less than 10% of outstanding stock) in the capital of other financial institutions (including investments in trust preferred securities) to the extent these exceed 10% of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital subject to a 15% of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital cap. Greater than 10% investments must be deducted if they exceed 10% of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital. If the aggregate amount of certain items excluded from capital deduction due to a

 
17

 
 

 
10% threshold exceeds 17.65% of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, the excess must be deducted. Savings associations will continue to be required to deduct investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permitted for national banks.

Changes in Risk-Weightings. The federal banking agencies did not adopt a proposed rule that would have significantly changed the risk-weighting for residential mortgages. Instead, the amended regulations will continue to follow the previous capital rules which assign a 50% risk-weighting to “qualifying mortgage loans” which generally consist of residential first mortgages with an 80% loan-to-value ratio (or which carry mortgage insurance that reduces the bank’s exposure to 80%) that are not more than 90 days past due. All other mortgage loans will have a 100% risk weight. The revised regulations apply a 250% risk-weighting to mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets that cannot be realized through NOL carrybacks and investments in the capital instruments of other financial institutions that are not deducted from capital. The revised regulations also create a new 150% risk-weighting category for “high volatility commercial real estate loans” which are credit facilities for the acquisition, construction or development of real property other than for certain community development projects, agricultural land and one- to four-family residential properties or commercial real projects where: (i) the loan-to-value ratio is not in excess of interagency real estate lending standards; and (ii) the borrower has contributed capital equal to not less than 15% of the real estate’s “as completed” value before the loan is made.
