EXPLANATORY NOTE
First
Chester County Corporation (the Corporation) is filing this Amendment No. 1
on Form 10-Q/A to its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30,
2009 (this Amendment) to amend and restate the Corporations unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) on November 13, 2009 (the Original Filing).
As
reported in the Original Filing, management identified a material weakness in
the Corporations internal controls related to the design and implementation of
policies to promptly identify problem loans and to quantify the elements of
risk in problem loans. The Banks policies and procedures were not
systematically applied, which caused a failure in the identification of problem
loans on a timely basis and a failure to accurately estimate the risk in the
portfolio; this in turn caused a failure to accurately determine the
appropriate Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses at June 30, 2009. Management also discovered a monitoring
weakness that contributed to the characterization of the status of certain
loans to be classified as fully performing, when in fact these loans were not. As a result of the June 30, 2009
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses shortfall of $3.5 million, amounts
originally recorded as Provision for Loan and Lease Losses for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 were restated to the three month period ended June 30,
2009. This restatement created a
material misstatement in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, as well as related footnote
disclosures as reported in the Original Filing.
Management
concluded that the Provision for Loan and Lease Losses for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 should decrease $3.5 million and increase $56,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Subsequent to the year ended
December 31, 2009, management identified a material weakness in internal
controls related to the Corporations process to review the valuation of
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage Loans Held for Sale represent
mortgage loans originated by the Corporation and held until sold to secondary
market investors. Upon the closing of a residential mortgage loan originated by
the Corporation, the mortgage loan is typically warehoused for a period of time
and then sold into the secondary market. While in this warehouse phase,
mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value under the fair value
option with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. An error
was identified in the Corporations process to properly identify a certain
population of loans held for sale prior to sending the loan details to the
Corporations third party valuation firm. As such, the Corporation
erroneously excluded from the population to be fair valued, loans which were
identified for sale but for which the Corporation was awaiting the
consideration from the counterparty to complete the sales
transaction. These particular loans were correctly classified as
loans held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30,
2009; however the unrealized gain associated with these loans was not reflected
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Statement of Operations. This error
resulted in an understatement in the carrying amount of loans held for sale at September 30,
2009, as well as an understatement net
income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. As a
result of the material weakness noted above, the Corporation underreported in
the Original Filing net gains from mortgage banking by $1.5 million and $2.7
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009,
respectively. Mortgage Loans Held for
Sale reported on the September 30, 2009 Consolidated Balance Sheet were
understated $2.7 million in the Original Filing.
As
of the date of this Amendment, management is continuing their ongoing efforts
to correct, revise and test the processes surrounding the material weaknesses
described above. Additional changes will
be implemented as determined necessary.
The
decision to restate the third quarter financial statements was approved by the
Board of Directors of First Chester County Corporation on March 18, 2010.
The
information in this Amendment has been updated to give effect to the
restatement. The Corporation has not modified nor updated the
information in the Original Filing, except as necessary to reflect the effects
of the restatement described above. This Amendment continues to
speak as of the dates described herein, and the Corporation has not updated the
disclosures contained in the Original Filing to reflect any events that
occurred subsequent to such dates. Information not affected by the
restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the
Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in
conjunction with the Corporations subsequent filings with the SEC, as
information in such filings may update or supersede certain information
contained in this Amendment.
Based
on the foregoing, only the following items have been amended:
·
Part I Financial Information
·
Item 1 Financial Statement
·
Item 2 Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FIRST CHESTER COUNTY CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
AS RESTATED
Basis of presentation
The foregoing unaudited financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the
interim period presented have been included.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (our 2008
Annual Report).
The results of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.
Information regarding risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to vary materially from our prior performance may be found in
Part I, Item 1A of our 2008 Annual Report.
The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of First Chester County Corporation (the Corporation) and First
National Bank of Chester County (the Bank).
All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
The Corporation completed its acquisition of American Home Bank (AHB)
on December 31, 2008, and, accordingly, the December 31, 2008 and the
September 30, 2009 consolidated balance sheets reflect the addition of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this acquisition. The results of
operations presented in the consolidated income statement for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the results of operations
from AHB.
As
a result of the acquisition of AHBs operations, the Corporation reports the
following new lines in the income statement:
·
Loan fees and other consist mainly of fees
earned at the inception of a loan as well as fees earned on the servicing of
loan portfolios not owned by the Bank. Loan fees and other also includes gains
and losses on the Banks mortgage servicing rights.
·
Net gain from mortgage banking activities
consists of unrealized gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments,
loans held for sale, and forward sale commitments combined with realized gains
and losses on the actual sale of the loan and the settlement of forward sale
commitments.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, the Corporation determined that the allowance
for loan and lease losses (ALLL) was understated. This has resulted in a material misstatement
of net income(loss) as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2009.
As
previously disclosed, management identified a material weakness in the
Corporations internal controls related to the design and implementation of
policies to promptly identify problem loans and to quantify the elements of
risk in problem loans. The weakness caused a failure to accurately
identify problem loans on a timely basis and a failure to accurately estimate
the risk in the portfolio. This caused a
failure to accurately determine the appropriate Allowance for Loan and Lease
Losses and the Provision for Loan and Lease Losses during the second quarter
ending June 30, 2009. As a result
of a June 30, 2009 Allowance shortfall, amounts recorded as Provision for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 were reclassed to the three month
period ended June 30, 2009. The
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
were increased from amounts previously reported due to this weakness.
In
addition, during the preparation of our consolidated financial for the year
ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation identified an error in its
accounting for the fair value adjustment to its loans held for sale portfolio,
resulting in an adjustment to net income for the three and nine months ending September 30,
2009 related to the Corporations process for establishing the fair value of
loans held for sale (primarily the residential loan portfolio). The Corporation erroneously excluded from the
population to be valued, loans which were identified for sale to a third party
but for which the Corporation was awaiting the final approval and agreement
from the counterparty to complete the transaction. The
5
Table of Contents
FIRST CHESTER COUNTY CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Corporations
policy is to continue to record the loans in this portfolio-segment as loans
held for sale until the criteria for sale are met and to record loans held for
sale at fair value.
As
a result of these errors, the Companys Board of Directors, in consultation
with management and its Audit Committee, determined that the consolidated
financial statements contained in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 could no longer be relied upon.
Accordingly, we have restated our unaudited consolidated financial statements
as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 to
record the adjustments for the corrections of these errors. As a result of the restatement, the following
financial statement line items were adjusted (dollars in thousands, except per
share amounts):

Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2009, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05, Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value (ASU 2009-5). ASU 2009-5 provides amendments to
Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Overall for the fair
value measurement of liabilities. It provides clarification that in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for identical
liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair
value using quoted prices of identical liabilities when traded as an asset,
quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as an asset, or other
valuation techniques that are consistent with the principles of Topic 820. ASU 2009-5
is effective for interim reporting periods beginning after August 2009.
Although we are still evaluating the impact that ASU 2009-5 will have, we do
not expect that the guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 168, The FASB
Accounting Standards Codification and the hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, (SFAS No. 168). The standard, which replaces
Statement No. 162, establishes the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles recognized by the FASB. SFAS No. 168 is effective
for interim and annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009.
We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 168 for the three and nine months
ended September 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 167, Amendments to
FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), (SFAS No. 167). This Statement
amends Interpretation 46(R) to replace the quantitative-based risks and
rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on,
among other things, identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the
activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entitys
economic performance. The statement also requires additional disclosures about
an enterprises involvement in variable interest entities. SFAS No. 167
has not been superseded by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and
therefore is still authoritative. SFAS No. 167 is effective for interim
and annual financial periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Although
we have not yet determined the impact that SFAS No. 167 will have, we do
not expect that the statement will have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140, (SFAS No. 166). This statement clarifies
existing and establishes new requirements and objectives for transactions to
qualify for sale accounting treatment. SFAS No. 166 has not been
superseded by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and therefore is still
authoritative. SFAS No. 166 is effective for interim and annual financial
periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Although we have not yet
determined the impact that SFAS No. 166 will have, we do not expect that
the statement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued guidance on accounting and disclosure for
subsequent events. This guidance has been incorporated into the FASB
Codification under accounting standard codification (ASC) 855 Subsequent
Events. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure
of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance under ASC 855
is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2009. We adopted the provisions of ASC 855 in June 2009. The adoption of
this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements. We added the subsequent events disclosure that is required by this
statement to our consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on other-than temporary impairment
for investment securities. This guidance
has been incorporated into the FASB Codification under ASC 320-10 Investments
Debts and Equity Securities.

ASC
320-10 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for investments and
changes some of the investment financial statement disclosure requirements. ASC
320-10 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009. We adopted the other-than temporary impairment guidance of ASC 320-10 in
June 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on
our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the requirements of
ASC 320-10 we analyzed the other than temporary impairment charge that the
Corporation took in the third quarter of 2008 and concluded that the charge
taken was entirely due to an other than temporary credit loss as opposed to
other factors. Accordingly, no adjustment was made to the other than temporary
charge taken in the third quarter of 2008. We added the investment
disclosures that are required by this guidance to Footnote 3 of these
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on interim disclosure about the fair
value of financial instruments. This guidance was incorporated into the FASB
Codification under ASC 825-10 Financial Instruments. The guidance expands
disclosures for fair value of financial instruments by requiring certain fair
value disclosures for interim periods that were previously only required
annually. The interim fair value disclosure requirements of ASC 825-10 are
effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We
adopted the interim reporting requirements of ASC 825-10 in June 2009. The
adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements. We added the required fair market value disclosure that
is required by this statement to Footnote 10 of these consolidated financial
statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly
decreased as well as guidance on identifying transactions that are not orderly.
This new guidance was incorporated into the FASB Codification under ASC 820-10
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and provides guidance for estimating fair value in accordance
with previously existing fair value guidance when the volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10 also includes guidance on
identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The new
guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009. We adopted the new guidance of ASC 820-10 in
June 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2009, the FASB issued amendments to previously issued impairment
guidance on purchased beneficial interests and beneficial interests that
continue to be held by a transferor in securitized financial assets. The new
guidance was incorporated into the FASB Codification under ASC 325-40 Beneficial
Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The purpose of this guidance was to
achieve a more consistent evaluation of whether there is an OTTI for the debt
securities under the scope of debt securities that fall within the scope of ASC
325-40 and the debt securities not within the scope of ASC 325-40 that would
fall under the scope of 320-10, Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
December 15, 2008. We adopted the new provisions of ASC 325-40 as of January 1,
2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
September 2008, the FASB issued guidance that amended previously issued
guidance concerning derivatives and hedging activities as well as disclosure
requirements for guarantees. This new guidance was incorporated into the FASB
Codification under ASC 850-10 Derivatives and Hedging and requires
disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives
embedded in a hybrid instrument. The guidance also requires an additional
disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a
guarantee. The new guidance is effective for annual or interim
reporting periods ending after November 15, 2008. We adopted the new provisions
of ASC 850-10 as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not
have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance on determining whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities. This new
guidance was incorporated into the FASB Codification under ASC 260-10 Earnings
Per Share and addressed whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need
to be included in the calculation of earnings per share (EPS). The new guidance of ASC 260-10 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 with prior period EPS data adjusted retrospectively to
conform to its provisions. The adoption of this guidance did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued new requirements for disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities.
This new guidance was incorporated into the FASB Codification under ASC 815-10
Derivatives and Hedging and amends the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new disclosure requirements
8

AND SUBSIDIARIES

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
are
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008.
The adoption of these requirements did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2008, the FASB amended previously issued accounting guidance for
new fair value requirements by delaying the effective date of new accounting
guidance issued under FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
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. FAS 157 was
superseded by FASB Codification ASC 820-10. The adoption of this guidance did
not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for business
combinations that replaced SFAS 141, Business Combinations. The new guidance was incorporated into the
FASB Codification under ASC 805 Business Combinations and retains the
fundamental requirements of SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting
(which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business
combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This guidance also establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The new
guidance will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. We
adopted the provisions of ASC 805 as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of
FASB ASC 805 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance
on accounting and presenting non-controlling interests in consolidated
financial statements. The new guidance was incorporated in the FASB
Codification under ASC 810-10 Consolidation and amends previously existing
guidance by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation
of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The new guidance
is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We
adopted the new provisions of ASC 810-10 on January 1, 2009 and
accordingly, changed the way in which we report minority interest in our
balance sheet and income statement. We now include minority interest in the
equity section of the balance sheet and present net income attributable to
non-controlling interests above net income in the income statement.

ACQUISITION
On
December 31, 2008, the Corporation completed its acquisition of AHB. This
acquisition was intended to diversify the Banks products, services, and
sources of income as well as to expand the Banks geographic footprint. As a
result of the merger, each outstanding share of AHB common stock was converted
into the right to receive either $11.00 in cash or 0.70 shares of FCCC common
stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. Pursuant to the allocation
procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, 1,052,160 shares of First Chester
County Corporation (FCCC) common stock were issuable to the holders of 90% of
AHBs outstanding common stock and $1.8 million was payable to the holders of
10% of AHBs outstanding common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, each AHB option to purchase shares of AHB common stock at
the effective time of the Merger converted into an option to purchase such
number of shares of FCCC common stock equal to the number of shares of the AHB
option multiplied by 0.7000, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an
exercise price equal to the exercise price of the AHB option at the effective
time of the Merger divided by 0.7000, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Each outstanding AHB warrant at the effective time of the Merger was cancelled
and converted into the right to receive cash in the amount equal to the
difference between the AHB warrant strike price and $11.00.
The
AHB merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values at the merger date. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, certain
deal costs and other cash paid are capitalized as part of the total purchase
price. Goodwill resulted from the acquisition.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 the goodwill from the AHB
acquisition was adjusted to reflect adjustments to the purchase price
allocation. The following shows the prior and current balance of goodwill:

(A)
During the first quarter of
2009, the Corporation recorded a $1.6 million purchase accounting adjustment
related to additional consideration identified for the acquisition. This amount
relates to the lump sum payments to former executive officers of AHB in
connection with the finalization of the AHB Management Incentive Plan (as
described in the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
May 5, 2009). The full amount of this additional consideration was
allocated to goodwill.
(B)
Other adjustments relate to
amounts recorded in the second quarter of 2009 to updated acquisition date
valuation estimates of certain assets and liabilities including other real

Proceeds
from the sale of investment securities available for sale for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $33.6 million and $866,000,
respectively. Proceeds from the sale of investment securities available for
sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $8.2
million and $21.4 million, respectively.
Gross gains from the sale of investment securities for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 were $1,000 and $392,000,
respectively. Gross losses for the same
period in 2009 were $0 and $391,000, respectively. Gross gains from the sales of investment
securities for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008
were $89,000 and $370,000, respectively.
Gross losses for the same period were $0 and $97,000, respectively. These securities were sold at fair values
which approximated the Corporations amortized cost. The Corporation uses the specific
identification method to determine the cost of the securities sold. The
principal amount of investment securities pledged to secure public deposits and

Other than Temporary Impairment
Management
recorded a $1.6 million charge to earnings in the third quarter of 2009 for an
other than temporary impairment (OTTI)
on four bank equity securities held in the Corporations available for sale
investment portfolio. The 2008 consolidated statement of income included an
$850,000 non-cash pretax other than temporary impairment loss on a $1.0 million
Lehman Brothers note held in the Banks available for sale investment
portfolio. This security has since matured and the remaining $150,000 carrying
value is carried as a receivable in the Corporations Other Asset line of the
Balance Sheet. Management believes that
there are no additional securities that were other than temporarily impaired as
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Management
uses a multi-factor approach to determine whether a security is other than
temporarily impaired. This approach is applied to each individual security. The
approach incorporates ideas and concepts outlined in relevant accounting
guidance and include such factors as:
·
The length of time and the extent to which
the market value has been less than cost;
·
The financial condition of the security
issuer as well as near and long-term prospect for the issuer;
·
The rating of the security;
·
Historic volatility and movement in the fair
market value of the security; and
·
Adverse conditions relative to the security,
issue or industry.
Management
also consults with an outside investment advisor in addressing whether
securities in a loss position are other than temporarily impaired. Specific
conclusions for each category of securities with an unrealized loss position
are summarized below:
Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations (CMO) Residential and Commercial
There are a total of four
private label CMO securities that had unrealized loss positions at
September 30, 2009. Three of the securities had a AAA rating from S&P
and one had an AA rating from S&P. All contractual cash flows have been
received on these securities. All of these issuances have subordinated tranches
supporting principal. In addition, we conducted due diligence of publicly
available information regarding these securities and no material information
came to our attention that would indicate an inability to recover our basis in
these securities. The depreciation on two of the securities accounted for 99%
of the total depreciation within this category. For these securities, we
reviewed and considered information about the underlying collateral as well as
loss and prepayment stress test information performed by professional
investment advisors. This information indicated likelihood that subordinate
tranches of the CMO provide sufficient protection to the Banks senior tranches
such that management can conclude that the probability of suffering a principal
loss is unlikely. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities
and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell
the securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity, it does not consider these investments to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.

Table of Contents
FIRST CHESTER COUNTY CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Corporate Debt Securities
There are a total of eight
securities in this category that had unrealized loss positions at
September 30, 2009. All of these securities are obligations of well-known,
established companies or subsidiaries thereof. All contractual cash flows have
been received on these securities. Depreciation on six of the securities
accounted for 98% of the total depreciation in this category. For these six
securities Management reviewed rating agency information and noted that five of
the six securities had investment grade ratings from Moodys. We reviewed
current news and filings as well as the length and duration of the depreciation
and concluded that there was no information that would indicate a going concern
or other issue that would impair our ability to recover our cost basis.
Management performed additional analysis on the security that was not
investment grade, which included reviewing analysis from our third party
investment advisor as well as current news and filings. The conclusion drawn
from this information was that there was no information that indicated a going
concern or other issue that would impair our ability to recover our cost basis.
Because the Corporation does not intend to sell these securities and it is not
more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the
securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, it does not consider
these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
September 30, 2009.
Bank Equity Securities
The Corporation recorded a
$1.6 million other than temporary impairment charge on four securities in this
category in the third quarter of 2009. The securities are publically traded
stock of well-known, established bank holding companies. During the quarter,
Management concluded that the impairment on the securities is other than
temporary mainly due to continued deterioration of the financial condition of
these companies and Managements conclusion that the Corporation may no longer
have the intent to hold these securities until anticipated recovery. The $1.6
million loss is presented on the Asset impairment line of the income statement.

OTHER
REAL ESTATE OWNED
Other real estate owned (OREO) represents property owned by the Bank
following default by the borrowers. OREO property acquired through foreclosure
is initially transferred at fair value based on an appraised value less
estimated cost to dispose. Adjustments are subsequently made to mark the
property below this amount if circumstances warrant. Losses arising from foreclosure transactions
are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Costs to maintain real
estate owned and any subsequent gains or losses are included in the Corporations
results of operations. The following table summarizes properties held as
OREO as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

BORROWINGS
In
April 2009, the Corporation completed the placement of $5,175,000
aggregate liquidation amount of fixed rate trust preferred securities (the Trust
Preferred Securities), through a newly formed subsidiary, First Chester County
Capital Trust IV, a wholly owned Delaware statutory trust (the Trust). In
connection with the sale of the Trust Preferred
15
Table of Contents

AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Securities,
the Corporation issued $5,330,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest
debentures (the Debentures) to the Trust. The Trust Preferred Securities and
the Debentures have a 30 year maturity, and carry a fixed rate of interest of 12%.
The Corporation has retained the right to redeem the Trust Preferred Securities
at par (plus accrued but unpaid interest) on any interest payment date on or
after April 28, 2014.
During
2009, the Bank began borrowing from the Federal Reserve. The balance of these
overnight borrowings was $51.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to
$0 at December 31, 2008. The rate paid on these borrowings is 0.50%.
7.
DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS
The
Bank, as part of its mortgage banking activities, originates fixed-rate 1-4
unit residential loans for sale in the secondary market. At the time of origination, Management
identifies loans that are expected to be sold in the near future. These warehoused loans have been classified
as mortgage loans held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet. These loans expose the Bank to variability in
their fair value due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of the
loans decreases. Conversely, if interest
rates decrease, the value of the loans increases.
The
Bank enters into rate lock commitments to extend credit to borrowers at a
specified interest rate upon the ultimate funding of the loan. These rate lock commitments are generally 30
days for a permanent loan and can range up to 360 days for a construction
loan. Unfunded loans for which
commitments have been entered into are called pipeline loans. Some of these rate lock commitments will
ultimately expire without being completed.
To the extent that a loan is ultimately granted and the borrower
ultimately accepts the terms of the loan, these rate lock commitments expose
the Bank to variability in their fair value due to changes in interest
rates. If interest rates increase, the
value of these rate lock commitments decreases.
Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these rate lock
commitments increases.
Loan
commitments relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for
sale and are accounted for as derivative instruments. Such commitments are recorded at fair value
as derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in the
Net gain from mortgage activities line of the income statement.
To
mitigate the effect of this interest rate risk on both the held for sale loans
and interest rate lock commitments, the Bank enters into offsetting derivative
contracts, primarily forward loan sale commitments. These forward sales
commitments lock in the price for the sale of specific loans or loans to be
funded under specific interest rate lock commitments or for a generic group of
loans with similar characteristics.
Mandatory forward sales commitments are agreements to sell a certain
notional amount of loans at a specified future time period at a specified
price. The Bank incurs a penalty for
failure to follow through with the commitment.
Best efforts forward sales commitments also result in direct or indirect
financial penalties for failure to follow through if the related loans close. The fair value of forward loan sales
commitments that hedge warehouse loans and interest rate lock commitments, as
well as interest rate lock commitments themselves, are summarized as follows at
September 30, 2009. The fair values
of all of these items are recorded on the balance sheet within other assets and
other liabilities as these items are financial derivatives.
Although
the purpose of these derivative instruments is to economically hedge certain
risks, there are no hedge designations under FASB ASC 815-10 (Statement
No. 133).
The
fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments
under FASB ASC 815-10 at September 30, 2009 are presented in the following

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AS RESTATED
FASB
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for
an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC
820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820-10 clarifies proper fair value determination
in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key
considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the
market for that financial asset is not active. The Corporation considered the
requirements of FASB ASC 820-10 when estimating fair value.
FASB ASC 825-10
Financial Instruments
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value at specified election dates. The Corporation elected
to account for loans held for sale under this election option.
FASB
ASC 820-10 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
18
Table of Contents
FIRST CHESTER COUNTY CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
·
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the
ability to access as of the measurement date.
·
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs
other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs
that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
·
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that
reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The
Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate
fair value:
Securities
: Investment securities available-for-sale are
recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based
upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair
values are measured using matrix pricing, 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 securities. Level 1
securities include those traded on nationally recognized securities exchanges,
U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, and money market funds. Level 2 securities
include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities,
municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3
include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Loans held for sale
: The fair value of loans
held for sale is estimated by utilizing either: (i) the value of
securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to
approximate the value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value
attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current
commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for
similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan
characteristics. As such, the
Corporation classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments
as Level 2.
Loans and leases
: The Corporation does not record loans at
fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is
considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for
which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered
impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management
measures impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 310. The fair value of impaired
loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value,
market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and
discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance
represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or
collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30,
2009, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair
value of the collateral. In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10 impaired loans
where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require
classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the
collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value,
the Corporation records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
: OREO is adjusted to fair
value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, OREO is
carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon
independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or managements
estimation of the value of the collateral. The Corporation records the
foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
: To determine the fair
value of MSRs, the Bank uses an independent third party to estimate the present
value of estimated future net servicing income. This valuation method
incorporates an assumption that market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, which include estimates of the cost to service,
the discount rate, custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary
income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses. The fair value of
servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 8.0% to
10.4%, prepayment speeds ranging from 6.6% to 49.1% depending on the
stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of
16.5%. The Corporation records the MSR as a recurring Level 3.
Derivative instruments
: The fair value of interest
rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments are estimated using a
process similar to mortgage loans held for sale. Interest rate lock commitments
are recorded as a recurring Level 3. Loan commitments and best efforts
commitments are assigned a probability that the related loan will be funded and

the
commitment will be exercised. The Bank relies on historical pull-through
percentages in establishing probability. Forward sale commitments are recorded
as a recurring Level 2.

SEGMENT REPORTING, AS RESTATED
The Corporation has determined that it has two operating and reporting
segments: Community Banking and Mortgage Banking.
The Corporations Community Banking segment consists of commercial
lending, commercial construction lending, commercial deposits, retail banking,
as well as wealth management. The Community Banking segment is managed as a
single strategic unit, which generates revenue from a variety of products and
services provided by the Corporation. For example, construction and commercial
lending is dependent upon the ability of the Corporation to fund itself with
retail deposits and other borrowings and to manage interest rate and credit
risk. This situation is also similar for consumer lending.
The Corporations Mortgage Banking segment operates under the trade
name, American Home Bank, a division of First National Bank of Chester County,
referred to herein as the AHB Division. Its principal activities include
providing mortgages and associated products to customers and selling most of those
mortgages into the secondary market on a servicing released basis. The AHB
Division retains the servicing on a portion of the loans that it sells. The AHB Division also holds some residential
mortgage and residential construction loans for investment. The AHB Division
was formed on December 31, 2008 following the acquisition of American Home
Bank, National Association.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION PLANS
At September 30, 2009, the Corporation had one stock based
compensation plan, pursuant to which, shares of the Corporations common stock
could be issued, subject to certain restrictions. The plan, adopted in 2005,
allows the Corporation to grant up to 150,000 shares of restricted stock to
employees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Corporation granted 54,650 shares valued at $11.35 per share at the grant date.
These shares, or a portion thereof will vest on the third anniversary of the
grant subject to certain employment and company performance requirements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Corporation granted
34,500 shares valued at $17.80 per share at the grant date. These shares, or a
portion thereof will vest on the third anniversary of the grant subject to
certain employment and company performance requirements. These restricted stock
grants are also subject to accelerated vesting of all or a portion of the
shares upon the occurrence of certain events, as described more fully in our
Proxy Statement for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A summary of the
Corporations unvested restricted shares is as follows:

$6.2 million and approximately $427,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
14.
COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The
Corporation maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments and letters of
credit which is reported in other liabilities in the Unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition consistent with ASC 825-10. As of the balance
sheet date, the Corporation records estimated losses inherent with unfunded
loan commitments in accordance with ASC 450-20, and estimated future
obligations under letters of credit in accordance with ASC 460-10. The
methodology used to determine the adequacy of this reserve is integrated in the
Corporations process for establishing the allowance for loan losses and
considers the probability of future losses and obligations that may be incurred
under these off-balance sheet agreements. The reserve for unfunded
loan commitments and letters of credit as of
23
Table of Contents
FIRST CHESTER COUNTY CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 was approximately $652,000 and $445,000,
respectively. Management believes this reserve level is sufficient to absorb
estimated probable losses related to these commitments.
Loan Recourse
The
Corporation sells its residential mortgage loans on a non-recourse basis. The
Corporation also provides representations and warranties to purchasers and
insurers of the loans sold. In the event of a breach of these representations
and warranties, the Corporation may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan
or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be
borne by the Corporation. If there is no breach of a representation and
warranty provision, the Corporation has no obligation to repurchase the loan or
indemnify the investor against loss. The unpaid principal balance of the loans
sold by the Corporation represents the maximum potential exposure related to
representations and warranty provisions; however, the Corporation cannot
estimate its maximum exposure because it does not service all of the loans for
which it has provided a representation or warranty. As of September 30,
2009, the Corporation had a liability of $780,000 included in Other liabilities
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, for probable losses related to the
Corporations recourse exposure.
15.
REGULATORY
MATTERS
On
October 20, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Bank entered into an
informal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on October 16, 2009, with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC). An MOU with
regulatory authorities is an informal action that is not published or publicly
available and that is used when circumstances warrant a milder form of action
than a formal supervisory action, such as a formal written agreement or order.
Among other things, under the MOU, the Bank has agreed to address the following
matters:
·
Develop a comprehensive three-year capital
plan;
·
Take action to protect criticized assets and
adopt and implement a program to eliminate the basis of criticism of such
assets;
·
Establish an effective program that provides
for early problem loan identification and a formal plan to proactively manage
those assets;
·
Review the adequacy of the Banks information
technology activities and Bank Secrecy Act compliance and approve written
programs of policies and procedures to provide for compliance; and
·
Establish a Compliance Committee of the Board
to monitor and coordinate the Banks adherence to the provisions of the MOU.
The
Board of Directors and management have already initiated corrective actions to
comply with the provisions of the MOU.
Subsequent
to September 30, 2009, the OCC has also required the Bank to
increase its Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8%, its Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio to not less than 10% and its total risk-based capital
ratio to not less than 12% by December 31, 2009.
The
Company has also received notice from the Federal Reserve, the primary
regulator of the Corporation, that the Federal Reserve must approve any dividends
to be paid by the Corporation in advance of the declaration or payment.
16.
SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
The
Corporation evaluated its September 30, 2009 financial statements for
subsequent events through November 13, 2009. The Corporation is not aware of any
subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements other than those discussed below.
The
Bank is currently undergoing a restructuring, which includes the previously
announced appointment of John A. Featherman, III as President, James M.
Deitch as Chief Operating Officer and Sheryl S. Vittitoe as Chief Financial
24

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Officer. The restructuring will also include the
termination of certain Bank employees, including employees from its AHB
Division by year-end. The Bank expects
to incur a charge of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter for
severance liability connected with this restructuring. The Bank also intends to reorganize its two
current divisions into four divisions: Commercial, Consumer, Wealth Management
and Administration. The Bank is closing three branches as part of the
restructuring; the Bank expects to incur a charge of approximately $1.1 million
in the fourth quarter related to branch closure expenses, including estimated
lease liabilities and write-off of certain leasehold improvements and fixed
assets related to the branch closures.
The Bank is also closing 13 mortgage loan production offices related to
Vision Mortgage Division of AHB related to the restructuring, and will close an
additional six mortgage loan production offices operated as AHB production
branches. The Bank will incur
approximately $60,000 in charges related to severance, lease obligations and
the write off of leasehold improvements, and fixed assets related to such
closures.
The
Corporation borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million during the
second and third quarters of 2009 on an unsecured, short-term basis from two
shareholders, with interest payable in each case at 12% per annum. On October 20,
2009, the Corporation received a demand for payment of $3.0 million principal
amount of such borrowings in accordance with terms of the loans, with the
demand payable on November 20, 2009. The other $1.0 million principal
amount of unsecured loan originally matured on November 24, 2009, but has
been extended by the lender to May 24, 2010. The Corporation is currently
attempting to negotiate to extend the maturity of the $3 million due on November 20,
2009. If the Corporation is unable to extend the loans, the Bank may need to
dividend to the Corporation some or all of such funds. Under its informal MOU
with the OCC, the Bank is required to obtain supervisory approval to dividend
any funds to the Corporation. Any such dividend to the Corporation will
directly affect the Banks capital and in turn, its fourth quarter regulatory
capital ratios.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
discussion is intended to further your understanding of the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of First Chester County
Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. It should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
OVERVIEW
We
strive to remain a leader in meeting the financial service needs of the local
community and to provide quality service to the individuals and businesses in
our market areas. Historically, we have
been a community-oriented provider of traditional banking products and services
to business organizations and individuals, including products such as
residential and commercial real estate loans, consumer loans and a variety of
deposit products. We meet the needs of
our local community through a community-based and service-oriented approach to
banking.
The Corporation completed its acquisition of AHB on December 31,
2008, and, accordingly, the December 31, 2008 and the September 30,
2009 consolidated balance sheets reflect the addition of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in this acquisition. The results of operations presented in
the consolidated income statement for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 include the results of operations from AHB; however,
the consolidated income statement for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 does not include the results of AHB.
The
Corporation reported a net loss of $6.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to $807,000 of net income for the three
months ended September 30, 2008. Diluted loss per share for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.02 compared to diluted earnings per
share of $0.16 for the same period in 2008. Cash dividends declared for the three
months ended September 30, 2009 were $0.14 per share compared to $0.14 per
share for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
The
Corporation reported a net loss of $3.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to $4.2 million of net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. Diluted loss per share for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $0.51 compared to diluted earnings
per share of $0.80 for the same period in 2008.
Cash dividends declared for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 were $0.42 per share compared to $0.42 per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
The decrease in net income
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due primarily
to an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses combined with a $1.6
million other than temporary impairment charge on the four equity securities in
the Banks available for sale investment portfolio. The decrease in net income
was also caused by an increase in non-interest expense. The increase in the
provision was driven by the ongoing impact from recessionary economic
conditions while the increase in non-interest expense was due mainly to the
addition of AHBs operations as well as an increase in FDIC insurance expense.
Offsetting these impacts were increases in non-interest income, mainly
attributable to the net gains from the mortgage banking activities of the AHB
Division, combined with an increase in net interest income due mainly to the
higher average interest-earning assets from the acquisition of AHB.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The
accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a discussion of
significant accounting policies please refer to the footnotes to the
Corporations consolidated financial statements included in this Report and in
our 2008 Annual Report.
Investment
Securities
In
accordance with FASB ASC 320-10, the Corporation evaluates the individual
securities making up the investment portfolio for other than temporary
impairment on a quarterly basis. If a security is deemed to be other than
temporarily impaired, the impairment is recorded in non-interest income in the
period in which it is recognized. Evaluating whether a security is other than
temporarily impaired involves a high degree of judgment. Factors considered by
management in determining whether a security is other than temporarily impaired
include current and forecasted market conditions for that security as well as
our ability and intent to hold the security until recovery.
26
Table
of Contents
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The
Corporation considers that the determination of the allowance for loan and
lease losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other
significant accounting policies. The
balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on Managements
review and evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio in relation to past loss
experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events
and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including Managements assumptions
as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may be
susceptible to significant change. To
the extent actual outcomes differ from Managements estimates, additional
provisions for loan and lease losses may be required that would adversely
impact earnings in future periods.
Goodwill
Goodwill
was recorded as a result of the AHB acquisition. Goodwill is the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value
of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. The goodwill acquired in the American Home Bank acquisition was
all attributable to the Mortgage Banking segment. Goodwill is not amortized but
is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. FASB ASC
350-10 outlines a two-step goodwill impairment test. Significant
judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. Step
one, which is used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of
the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If
the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the
reporting unit is considered not impaired and step two is therefore
unnecessary. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds
its implied fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of
the impairment loss, if any. An implied loss is recorded to the
extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.
The
Corporations annual impairment testing for goodwill was completed as of
September 30, 2009. As part of its step one procedures to identify
goodwill impairment, management compared the fair value of the Mortgage Banking
segment to the carrying amount of its net assets, including goodwill. In
performing step one, the Corporation estimated the fair value of the Mortgage
Banking segment through a discounted economic value analysis based on internal
forecasts, recent financials and the projected outlook for the
industry. No indication or determination of goodwill impairment at that
date was evident. Management will continue to monitor events that could impact
this conclusion in future periods.
Income Taxes
Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets are
subject to Managements judgment based upon available evidence that future
realization is more likely than not. If
Management determines that the Corporation may be unable to realize all or part
of the net deferred tax assets in the future, a direct charge to income tax
expense may be required to reduce the recorded value of the net deferred tax
asset to the expected realizable amount.
Fair Value Measurement
FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB ASC 820-10 clarifies
proper fair value determination in a market that is not active and provides an
example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a
financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The
Corporation considered the requirements of FASB ASC 820-10 when estimating fair
value.
See
Footnote 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion on Fair Value Measurement.
ACQUISITION
Effective
December 31, 2008, the Corporation completed its acquisition of AHB. The
mortgage banking business of AHB is now operating as a division of the Bank
under the trade name, American Home Bank, a Division of First National Bank of
Chester County. The Banks mortgage-banking activities include providing
mortgages to customers and selling most of those mortgages into the secondary
market on a servicing released basis. The Bank retains the servicing on a
portion of the loans that it sells. The sourcing of mortgage loans is conducted
through a direct, retail delivery channel comprised of retail loan offices,
affiliated business arrangements with builders and realtors, and a wholesale
lending operation. The wholesale operation sources loans through relationships
with unrelated mortgage brokers.
27
Table
of Contents
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The
Corporation has determined that it has two operating and reporting segments:
Community Banking and Mortgage Banking.
The
Corporations Community Banking segment consists of commercial, commercial
construction, retail banking and wealth management. The Community Banking
segment is managed as a single strategic unit, which generates revenue from a
variety of products and services provided by the Corporation. For example,
construction and commercial lending is dependent upon the ability of the
Corporation to fund itself with retail deposits and other borrowings and to
manage interest rate and credit risk. This situation is also similar for
consumer lending.
The
Corporations Mortgage Banking segment operates under the trade name, American
Home Bank, a division of First National Bank of Chester County, referred to
herein as (the AHB Division). Its principal activities include providing
residential mortgages and associated products to customers and selling most of
those mortgages into the secondary market on a servicing released basis. The
AHB Division retains the servicing on a portion of the loans that it sells. The
AHB Division also holds some residential mortgage and construction loans. The
AHB Division was formed on December 31, 2008 following the acquisition of
American Home Bank, National Association.
A
summary of segment performance for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 is presented in Note 11 to the Corporations Financial
Statements.
The
results presented in the Net Interest Income, Interest Income, Interest
Expense and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses sections present information
for both the loans held in the Community Banking segment as well as the Mortgage
Banking segment. Factors driving net interest income and the provision for loan
and lease losses are similar for the loans held in each of these segments, with
the exception of loans held for sale, which are not reserved for in the
allowance for loan and lease losses, as they are carried at fair market value.
Specific discussion is made below where factors driving the specific components
of non-interest income and expense for the operating segments differ from the
consolidated Corporation.

NET
INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on
interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2009 was $12.0 million, an increase of 37.7%
from $8.7 million for the same period in 2008.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2009 was $34.1 million, an increase of 36.3% from
$25.0 million for the same period in 2008.
The net yield on interest-earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, was
3.72% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to
3.69% for the same period in 2008, an increase of 3 basis points (one basis
point is equal to 1/100 of a percent).
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the net yield
on interest earning assets decreased 3 basis points to 3.57% from 3.60% during
the same period in 2008.
The yield earned on average interest-earning assets was 5.38% for the
three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to 5.95% for the
same period in 2008, a decrease of 57 basis points. For the nine month period
ended September 30, 2009, the yield earned on interest earning assets
decreased 69 basis points to 5.38% from 6.07% during the same period in 2008.
Average interest-earning assets increased approximately $339.9 million
or 36.2% to $1.3 billion for the three-months ended September 30, 2009
from $938.7 million in the same period last year. The increase in average interest-earning
assets for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 was the result
of a $236.6 million increase in Loans held for sale combined with a 18.9% or
$151.1 million increase in average total Loans and leases. These increases were
partially offset by an 18.2% or $19.6 million decrease in average investment
securities and an 86.1% or $28.2 million decrease in the average Federal funds
sold and interest bearing deposits in banks balance.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, average
interest-earning assets increased approximately $347.6 million or 37.4% to $1.3
billion from $929.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in average interest-earning
assets for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was the result of
a $218.1 million increase in Loans held for sale combined with a 22.2% or
$171.9 million increase in average total Loans and leases. These increases were
partially offset by an 11.1% or $12.2 million decrease in average investment
securities and a 65.9% or $30.2 million decrease in the average Federal funds
sold and interest bearing deposits in banks balance.
Average
interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $287.0 million or 36.1% to
$1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2009, from $795.2
million in the same period in 2008. The
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the three-month period was
the result of a $230.3 million or 36.7% increase in interest-bearing deposits,
combined with a $51.3 million or 33.9% increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
advances and other borrowings and a $5.3 million or 34.5% increase in
subordinated debentures.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, average
interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $303.5 million or 38.8% to
$1.1 billion from $783.0 million in the same period in 2008. The increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities for the nine month period was the result of a $248.6 million or
40.3% increase in interest-bearing deposits, combined with a $51.7 million or
34.5% increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings and a $3.1 million or
20.2% increase in subordinated debentures.
INTEREST
INCOME
Interest
income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in banks for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 decreased 97.5% and
95.3% to approximately $5,000 and $50,000, respectively, when compared to the
same periods in 2008. The decrease in
interest income on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in banks for
the three and nine month periods is primarily the result of a $28.2 million and
$30.2 million decrease in the average federal funds sold and interest bearing
deposits at banks balances from the same periods in 2008 combined with a 193
and 269 basis point decrease on the rates earned on these assets. The decrease
in these balances occurred as available liquidity was utilized to fund the
increase in loans held for sale. The decrease in rate was primarily a result of
Federal Reserve actions to reduce market interest rates coupled with Managements
decision to invest available cash in more secure, but lower yielding, overnight
investment alternatives.
On
a tax equivalent basis, interest income on investment securities decreased by
39.3% or approximately $510,000 to $789,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2009 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2008. For the nine month period ended
September 30, 2009, interest income on investment securities decreased
22.6% or approximately $898,000 to $3.1 million from $4.0 million when compared
to the same period in 2008. The
decreases for the three and nine month periods were the result of a 125 and 62
basis point decrease in the yield earned on investment securities,
respectively.

Table
of Contents
This
was combined with $19.6 million and $12.2 million decreases in average total
investment security balances for the three and nine month periods,
respectively. The decrease in investment security balances reflects Managements
decision to reduce the Banks exposure to corporate bonds.
Interest
income on loans held for sale increased to $2.9 million during the three month
period ended September 30, 2009.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, interest income
on loans held for sale increased to $7.8 million. These increases were due to a significant
increase in the average loans held for sale balance. Average loans held for sale for the three and
nine months periods ended September 30, 2009 were $236.6 million and
$218.1 million as compared to approximately $377,000 and $568,000 for the same
periods in 2008. This increase was due to increased volume in residential mortgage
loan originations resulting from the AHB acquisition. $89.5 million of loans
held for sale were acquired at December 31, 2008 through the acquisition.
The increase in the average balance during 2009 as compared to the
December 31, 2008 level was attributable to an increase in residential
mortgage origination volume throughout 2009. The increase in origination volume
was caused by the refinancing boom driven by low interest rates.
Interest
income on loans, on a tax equivalent basis, generated by the Corporations loan
portfolio increased 9.3% or $1.2 million to $13.7 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 2009 compared to $12.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2008.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, interest income
on loans, on a tax equivalent basis increased 9.0% or $3.3 million when
compared to the same period in 2008.
These increases in interest income for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2009 were primarily due to a $151.1 million or 18.9%
increase in average loans outstanding for the three month period and a $171.9
million or 22.2% increase in average loans outstanding for the nine month
period as compared to the same periods in 2008. These increases in average loan
balances were primarily due to the AHB acquisition. $110.9 million of loans
were acquired at December 31, 2008 through the acquisition. The impact
from the increase in average loan balances was partially offset by a decrease
in the tax equivalent yield earned on average loans outstanding, which
decreased by 52 and 69 basis points to 5.72% and 5.73% for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2009 from 6.24% and 6.42% for the same
periods in 2008. This rate decrease is the result of Federal Reserve actions to
reduce market interest rates.
INTEREST
EXPENSE
Interest
expense on deposit accounts decreased by approximately $135,000 or 3.7% to $3.5
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 from $3.6
million for the same period in 2008.
Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased approximately $233,000 or
1.9% to $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
compared to the same period in 2008. The
decreases for the three and nine month periods were primarily due to a decrease
in the average interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average
rate paid for the three month period in 2009 was 1.62%, a 69 basis point
decrease from 2.31% in 2008. The average rate paid for the nine month period in
2009 was 1.83%, an 79 basis point decrease from 2.62% in 2008. These rate
decreases were primarily the result of Federal Reserve actions to reduce market
interest rates. The impact from rate decreases was partially offset by
increases in average interest-bearing deposit balances. These balances
increased $230.3 million for the three month period to $858.5 million in 2009
from $628.2 million in 2008. These balances increased $248.6 million for the
nine month period to $866.1 million in 2009 from $617.4 million in 2008. The increase in average interest bearing
deposit balances was primarily due to the AHB acquisition. $186.7 million of
interest bearing deposit balances were acquired at December 31, 2008
through the acquisition. The increase was also due to stronger consumer demand
for traditional interest-bearing deposit products.
Interest
expense on subordinated debentures increased approximately $86,000 to
approximately $295,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009
from approximately $209,000 for the same period in 2008. This increase was mainly due to an increase
in the average balance of subordinated debentures caused by the issuance of a
$5.3 million junior subordinated debenture in April 2009. This new
issuance carries a 12% fixed interest rate which is currently higher than the
average rate paid on our other subordinated debentures. The rates paid on other
subordinated debenture issuances are primarily based on three month LIBOR. The
total average rate paid on subordinated debentures for the three months ended September 30,
2009 increased 25 basis points from 5.38% in 2008 to 5.63% in 2009 primarily
due to the higher rate on the new issuance partially offset by a decrease in
the 3 month LIBOR between the two periods. Interest expense on subordinated
debentures increased approximately $38,000 to approximately $721,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2009 from approximately $683,000 for
the same period in 2008. The decrease for the nine month period is primarily
due to a 72 basis point decrease in the average interest rate paid on these
debentures. The rate decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the 3 month LIBOR
between the two periods, partially offset by the higher rate on the
April 2009 new issuance.
Interest
expense on FHLB and other borrowings increased by approximately $89,000 or 6.1%
to $1.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 from
$1.5 million for the same period in 2008. Interest expense on FHLB and other
borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased
approximately $322,000 or 7.3% to $4.7 million from $4.4 million in 2008. These
increases in interest expense were primarily due to increases in the average
balances of these funding sources in 2009 as compared to 2008. The average
balance of FHLB and other borrowings for the three months
32
Table of
Contents
ended
September 30, 2009 increased by 33.9% or $51.3 million between the two
periods. Average balances of these funding sources for the nine month period
increased 34.5% or $51.7 million between the two periods. The increase in average FHLB and other
borrowings was partially due to the AHB acquisition. $36.6 million of FHLB and
other borrowings balances were acquired at December 31, 2008 through the
acquisition. The increase in these borrowings from December 31, 2008
through September 30, 2009 was also due to an increase in borrowings from
the FHLB and Federal Reserve to fund the increase in loans held for sale.
FHLB
and other borrowings are a favorable alternative to deposits to support asset
growth. The impact from the average balance increase was partially offset by a
decrease in the average rate paid on these borrowings. The average rate paid
was 3.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 81
basis points from 3.86% during the same period in 2008. The average rate paid
on these borrowings was 3.12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
a decrease of 79 basis points from 3.91% during the same period in 2008. The
lower average rate paid was primarily a result of Federal Reserve actions to
reduce market interest rates.
PROVISION
FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES, AS RESTATED
The
allowance for loan and lease losses is an amount that Management believes will
be adequate to absorb probable loan losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible and is established based on Managements evaluation of the
collectability of loans. These
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, adequacy of
collateral, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions
that may affect our borrowers ability to pay.
During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, the Corporation recorded $11.2 million
and $17.7 million in provision for loan and lease losses, respectively, as
compared to $290,000 and $950,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in the
provision for loan losses in the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009 can be attributed to uncertainty in the economic environment, increased
trends in delinquency, non-accruals, and other impaired loans, as well as
depreciated values of collateral supporting such loans. Charge-offs also continued to increase due to
diminished operating cash flows of our borrowers. The percentage of non-performing loans to
gross loans was 3.66% at September 30, 2009 compared to 1.21% at
December 31, 2008 and 0.40% at September 30, 2008. The allowance for
loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases at
September 30, 2009 was 2.45% compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2008
and 1.07% at September 30, 2008. Net charge-offs for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $3.1 million and $4.2 million
compared to $111,000 and $190,000 for the same periods in 2008.
Additional
information about the material weakness in internal control surrounding the
Allowance for Loan and Leases losses identified by Management and our
remediation plan is provided in Item 4, Controls and Procedures.

The Allowance other
adjustment represents the reclassification of an allowance for probable losses
on unfunded loans and unused lines of credit.
These loans and lines of credit, although unfunded, have been committed
to by the Corporation.
Non-performing loans and leases include those on non-accrual status,
loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings
and other loans deemed impaired. The
Corporations policy is to write down all non-performing loans to net realizable
value. Non-performing loans are
generally collateralized and are in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans reduce the Corporations
earnings because interest income is not earned on such assets. The non-accrual
loan and lease balance at September 30, 2009 was $15.8 million as compared
to $10.5 million at December 31, 2008 and $3.1 million at
September 30, 2008. Non-accrual loans and leases have increased during
2009 over 2008 because of the effects of a recessionary economy.
Other real estate owned (OREO) represents property owned by the Bank
following default by the borrowers. OREO property acquired through foreclosure
is initially transferred at fair value based on an appraised value less
estimated cost to dispose. Adjustments are subsequently made to mark the
property below this amount if circumstances warrant. Losses arising from foreclosure transactions
are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Costs to maintain real
estate owned and any subsequent gains or losses are included in the Corporations
results of operations. The total OREO balance at September 30, 2009
was $3.1 million as compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2008 and
approximately $346,000 at September 30, 2008. OREO balances have increased
during 2009 over 2008 because of increased foreclosure activity, stemming from
the recessionary economic conditions.

and leases and OREO:

Generally, the Bank places a
loan or lease in non-accrual status when principal or interest has been in
default for a period of 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured
and in the process of collection.
The
Corporation identifies a loan as impaired when it is probable that interest and
principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. With the exception of troubled debt restructurings, the accrual of
interest is discontinued on impaired loans and no income is recognized until
all recorded amounts of interest and principal are recovered in full.
The
Corporation examines loans individually when it is probable that we will be
unable to collect all contractual interest and principal payments according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement and assess for impairment. The
average recorded balance of impaired loans was $17.1 million and $2.2 million
at September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest income recognized during the time
within the period that the loans were impaired was $258,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. There was no interest income recorded on
impaired loans for the same period ending September 30, 2008 as all
impaired loans were also non-accrual.

Table

Included
in the September 30, 2009 non-performing loans and leases were $21.5
million of restructured and other impaired loans. Included in this balance was $5.8 million of
loans to one commercial relationship for which the original loan terms have
been modified due to the borrowers financial difficulties. As of September 30, 2009 these loans
were performing under the re-negotiated terms and are not classified as
non-accrual. These loans are classified
as commercial real estate and the Corporation has allocated a specific reserve
of $2.7 million at September 30, 2009.
Also included in restructured and other impaired are two loans to one
commercial relationship that total $8.1 million and five loans to another
commercial relationship that total $4.0 with a specific reserves of $2.0
million and $0.0 respectively. The loans are currently performing but have been
evaluated by management and deemed impaired.
Management continues to closely monitor these relationships.
As
a recurring part of its portfolio management program, the Corporation has
identified approximately $60.0 million in potential problem loans at September 30,
2009. Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing,
but where the borrowers operating performance or other relevant factors could
result in potential credit problems, and are typically classified by our loan
rating system as substandard. At September 30, 2009, potential problem
loans primarily consisted of commercial loans and commercial real estate. There
can be no assurance that additional loans will not become nonperforming,
require restructuring, or require increased provision for loan losses.

following charts present additional information about impaired loans and lease
balances as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

NON-INTEREST
INCOME. AS RESTATED
Total
non-interest income increased $12.2 million to $13.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1.3 million for the same
period in 2008. Total non-interest
income increased $40.0 million to $47.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2008.
Of
these increases in non interest income, net gain from mortgage banking activity
accounted for $11.7 million and $37.2 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Net gain from mortgage banking
activities relates to the Mortgage Banking segment and consists of unrealized
gains and losses on interest rate lock commitments, loans held for sale, and
forward sale commitments combined with realized gains and losses on the actual
sale of the loan and the settlement of forward sale commitments. The increase
in the net gain from mortgage banking activities from the same periods in 2008
was primarily from the addition of the AHBs residential mortgage operations.
The
distinguishing activity within the Mortgage Banking segment is the origination
and sale of residential mortgage and construction loans. This activity drives
the net gain on mortgage banking activity line of the income statement. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, this line was positively
impacted by the actions of the Federal Reserve to reduce market rates. These actions resulted in mortgage interest
rates declining, beginning in December 2008. The decline in rates was advantageous to
consumers, leading many borrowers to refinance their existing mortgage
loan. The increase in refinance activity
reduced the negative impact from weak new and existing home sale sectors. The Mortgage Banking segment originated $1.95
billion of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 with
refinance activity accounting for 64%, or $1.25 billion of the total. Loans for the purchase of new or existing
homes totaled $645 million, or 33% of total originations, while loans to
individual borrowers for construction of single-family residences were $52
million, or 3% of total originations.
Loan
fees and other was approximately $738,000 and $3.6 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to approximately $118,000
and $298,000 during the same period in 2008. Loan fees and other primarily
relate to the Mortgage Banking segment and consist mainly of fees earned at the
inception of a loan as well as fees earned on the servicing of residential loan
portfolios not owned by the Bank. Loan fees and other also includes gains and
losses on the Banks mortgage servicing rights. The increase in loan servicing
fees was due to the addition of the AHB divisions mortgage operations.
During
the third quarter of 2009, the Corporation recorded a $1.6 million other than
temporary impairment charge on four banking securities in the third quarter of
2009. The securities are publically traded stock of well-known, established
bank holding companies. During the quarter, Management concluded that the
impairment on the securities is other than temporary mainly due to continued
deterioration of the financial condition of these companies and Managements
conclusion that the Corporation may no longer have the intent to hold these
securities until anticipated recovery.
Asset
impairment of $1.3 million in 2008 related to the write-down of certain
securities in 2008. In the third quarter of 2008, the Corporation recorded an
approximately $850,000 pre-tax other than temporary impairment loss on a $1.0
million Lehman Brothers note held in the Banks investment portfolio. In the
third quarter of 2008, the Corporation also recorded a pretax loss of
approximately $417,000 on a $13.9 million overnight investment in the Reserve
Primary Fund. The Reserve Primary Fund was a short term overnight money market
fund designed to maintain a constant $1.00 per share value. The Bank typically
used this type of fund to invest excess overnight cash. During the third
quarter of 2008, the Funds value fell below $1.00 per share due to underlying
Lehman Brothers commercial paper in the fund. The Fund is currently in process
of liquidation. The Bank wrote its $13.9 million investment down to $13.5
million in the third quarter of 2008 and subsequently received $12.5 million
over the remainder of 2008 and 2009. The Bank fully expects to realize the
remaining $1.0 million.
Wealth
management and advisory services revenue remained relatively flat for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 2008 but decreased
approximately $138,000 or 4.5% to $2.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 from $3.1 million during the same period in 2008.
Wealth management and advisory services revenue is based largely on the market
value of assets under management. The
decrease in wealth management and advisory services revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decrease in the average
market value of these assets between the two periods. The decline in market
value was driven by a decline in the market values of the underlying securities
within the assets under management.
The
Corporation recognized a net gain of approximately $1,000 on sales of
investment securities during the three month period ended September 30,
2009, compared with a net gain of approximately $89,000 during the same period
in 2008. The Corporation recognized a
net gain of approximately $1,000 on sales of investment securities during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2009, compared with a net gain of
approximately $273,000 during the same period in 2008. These net gains and losses were taken as a
result of normal portfolio management.

Gains
on fixed assets and OREO increased approximately $285,000 and $312,000 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 2008. These
increases were due primarily to an approximately $114,000 gain from the sale of
operating lease equipment in the third quarter of 2009 combined with an
approximately $169,000 loss recorded in the third quarter of 2008 from the
write-down to fair market value of two OREO properties.
Other
non-interest income increased 15.3% or approximately $69,000 to $521,000 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. Other non-interest income increased
approximately $179,000 or 12.8% to $1.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to same period in 2008. The increase for the three and nine month
periods are primarily due to increases in various fee income earned from the
AHB operations.
Wealth
management and advisory services revenue, service charges on deposit accounts,
gains and losses on investment securities, operating lease rental income, gains
on the sale of fixed assets and OREO and nearly all of other non-interest
income are included within the results of the community banking segment. Nearly
all of loan servicing fees and other and all of net gain from mortgage banking
activities are included within the mortgage banking segment.
NON-INTEREST
EXPENSE
Total
non-interest expense increased $14.7 million to $23.4 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $8.6 million
during the same period in 2008. Total
non-interest expense increased $41.8 million to $66.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, from $25.1 million during the same period
in 2008.
Salaries
and employee benefits increased $10.1 million to $14.9 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $28.9 million to $42.7 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in
2008. The higher salary and benefits expense was primarily due to the addition
of the AHB operations at December 31, 2008.
Salaries
and related expenses allocable to the Mortgage Banking segment consist of
commissions paid to employees involved in the loan origination process, as well
as compensation, payroll taxes and benefits paid to employees in the mortgage
production operations and allocations for overhead.
Salaries
directly attributable to the Mortgage Banking segment totaled $8.5 million for
the quarter and $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. Of these amounts, variable compensation, that is compensation paid to
loan originators, accounted for $5.4 million, or 64% of the total for the three
months ended and $16.6 million or 67% for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. This variable compensation amounts to 0.85% of total originations, a rate
typical in the mortgage banking industry.
Net
occupancy, equipment and data processing expense increased $1.8 million or
123.6% to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when
compared to the same period in 2008. Net
occupancy, equipment and data processing expense increased $4.5 million or
104.4% to $8.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
when compared to the same period in 2008.
Approximately $1.4 million and $3.6 million of these increases were due
to the addition of AHBs operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009. Occupancy, equipment and data processing expense from
AHBs operations include the operations of administrative facilities as well as
two branches combined with IT systems operations. The increase was also
attributable to the opening of the new Jennersville grocery store branch as
well as the opening of the new One North High Street administrative complex in
the first quarter of 2009. The year to date 2009 expense also includes
approximately $187,000 of merger-related IT system conversion expense recorded
in the second quarter of 2009.
FDIC insurance premiums
increased approximately $286,000 or 210.3% to approximately $422,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $136,000 during
the same period in 2008. FDIC insurance
premiums increased $1.6 million or 446.7% to $1.9 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2009, from approximately $347,000 during the
same period in 2008. In 2008 and 2009,
the FDIC adopted rules that increased FDIC premiums significantly for all
banks for assessment periods beginning in the first quarter of 2009. In
addition, the FDIC instituted a special assessment for all banks for the second
quarter of 2009. FDIC Deposit Insurance expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 includes approximately $673,000 for this special
assessment, recorded in the second quarter of 2009. The increased premium as
well as the special assessment will cause the Banks 2009 FDIC premiums and
assessment expense to increase significantly over 2008.
Professional
services expense increased $1.6 million to $2.0 million for the three month
period ended September 30, 2009 from $449,000 for the same period in
2008. Professional services expense
increased $3.6 million or 262.7% to $5.0 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2009 from $1.4 million for the same period in
2008. Approximately
37
Table of
Contents
$1.0
million and $2.8 million of the increase in professional fees are due to
increased legal, consulting and audit fees from the addition of AHBs
operations. The balance of the increase was due to increased legal, audit and
consulting fees related to the integration of AHB, as well as other company
initiatives.
Marketing
expense increased approximately $166,000 or 97.1% to approximately $337,000 for
the three month period ended September 30, 2009, from approximately
$171,000 for the same period in 2008.
Marketing expense increased approximately $457,000 or 64.9% to $1.2
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, from
approximately $704,000 for the same period in 2008. The increases for the three
and nine month periods were primarily due to the addition of AHBs operations.
Total
other non-interest expense increased approximately $820,000 or 74.3% to $1.9
million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, from $1.1
million for the same period in 2008.
Total other non-interest expense increased $2.5 million or 81.7% to $5.6
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 from $3.1
million for the same period in 2008. Most of the increases are due to the
addition of AHBs operations.
INCOME
TAXES, AS RESTATED
Income tax expense for the
three months ended September 30, 2009 was a $3.3 million benefit compared
to approximately $148,000 of expense for same period in 2008. Income tax
expense was a $2.1 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, compared to a $1.3 million expense for the same periods in 2008. Income
tax expense is negative for the three and nine month periods in 2009 because of
a net operating loss combined with the effect of permanent tax benefit items.
LIQUIDITY
MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Liquidity
Management
The
objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient
cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities
for business expansion. Liquidity
management addresses the Corporations ability to meet deposit withdrawals
either on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature
and to make new loans and investments as opportunities arise. Liquidity is managed on a daily basis
enabling Management to monitor changes in liquidity and to react accordingly to
fluctuations in market conditions. The
primary sources of liquidity for the Corporation are funding available from the
growth of the existing deposit base, new deposits, FHLB, Federal Reserve and
cash flow from the investment and loan portfolios. The Corporation considers funds from such
sources to comprise its core funding sources because of the historical
stability of such sources of funds.
Additional liquidity comes from the Corporations non-interest bearing
demand deposit accounts and credit facilities.
Other deposit sources include a tiered savings product and certificates
of deposit in excess of $100,000. Details of core deposits, non-interest
bearing demand deposit accounts, and other deposit sources are highlighted in
the following table:

The
Bank maintains several credit facilities with the FHLB as well as the Federal
Reserve and other Banking institutions.
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009,
average FHLB advances and other borrowings were $202.9 million and $201.9
million, respectively, and consisted of term advances with a variety of
maturities. The average interest rate
paid on these advances was 3.05% during the third quarter of 2009. The Bank currently has a maximum borrowing
capacity with FHLB of approximately $340.0 million. FHLB advances are collateralized by a pledge
on the Banks portfolio of unencumbered investment securities, certain mortgage
loans, and a lien on the Banks FHLB stock. The Bank also has $245.9 million of
borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve borrowings are
collateralized by a pledge on certain mortgage loans and a lien on the Banks
Federal Reserve stock.
Interest
Rate Sensitivity
The
goal of interest rate sensitivity management is to avoid fluctuating net
interest margins, and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income
through periods of changing interest rates.
Such sensitivity is measured as the difference in the volume of assets
and liabilities in the existing portfolio that are subject to repricing in a
future time period. The Corporations
net interest rate sensitivity gap within one year is a negative $289.3 million
or 22.1% of total assets at September 30, 2009, compared with a negative
$292.9 million or 22.5% of total assets at December 31, 2008. The Corporations gap position is one tool
used to evaluate interest rate risk and the stability of net interest
margins. Another tool that management
uses to evaluate interest rate risk is a computer simulation model that
assesses the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income under
various interest rate forecasts and scenarios.
Management has set acceptable limits of risk within its Asset
Liability
Committee (ALCO) policy and monitors the results of the simulations against
these limits quarterly. As of the most
recent quarter-end, all results are within policy limits and indicate an
acceptable level of interest rate risk. Management monitors interest rate risk
as a regular part of corporate operations
with the
intention of maintaining a stable net interest margin. The following table
presents our interest rate sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2009:

BRANCHING,
TECHNOLOGY AND CAPITAL PROJECTS
During
the first quarter of 2009, the Bank completed renovations on a new office
building located at One North High Street in West Chester, PA. The building,
along with and adjacent to our main branch and existing facility at Nine North
High Street will serve as the Corporations headquarters. During the first quarter of 2009, the Bank
also opened a new grocery store branch in Jennersville, PA. Technological
improvements, including enhanced security over customer information, a more
proactive disaster recovery system and an improved infrastructure to support
more internet banking products are also expected in the future. We are
continuously looking for appropriate opportunities to expand our branch system
and invest in technology to better serve our customers.
CAPITAL
ADEQUACY
The
Corporation is subject to Risk-Based Capital Guidelines adopted by the Federal
Reserve Board for bank holding companies.
The Bank is also subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the
OCC. Under these requirements, the regulatory agencies have set minimum
thresholds for Tier I Capital, Total Capital, and Leverage ratios. At September 30, 2009, both the
Corporations and the Banks capital exceeded all minimum regulatory
requirements, and the Bank was considered well capitalized as defined in the
regulations issued pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act of 1992. Subsequent to
September 30, 2009, the OCC is requiring the Bank to increase its
Tier 1 leverage capital ratio to not less than 8%, its Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio to not less than 10% and its total risk-based capital ratio to
not less than 12% by December 31, 2009.
In
April 2009, the Corporation completed the placement of $5,175,000
aggregate liquidation amount of fixed rate trust preferred securities (the Trust
Preferred Securities), through a newly formed subsidiary, First Chester County
Capital Trust IV, a wholly owned Delaware statutory trust (the Trust). In
connection with the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Corporation
issued $5,330,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the Debentures)
to the Trust. The Trust Preferred Securities and the Debentures have a 30 year
maturity, and carry a fixed rate of interest of 12.0%. The Corporation has
retained the right to redeem the Trust Preferred Securities at par (plus
accrued but unpaid interest) on any interest payment date on or after
April 28, 2014.
40
Table
of Contents
The
Corporations trust preferred subsidiaries are deconsolidated in accordance
with GAAP and the related securities qualify as Tier 1 capital under federal
regulatory guidelines. These instruments are subject to a 25%
capital limitation under risk-based capital guidelines developed by the Federal
Reserve Board. In March 2005, the Federal Reserve Board amended its
risk-based capital standards to expressly allow the continued limited inclusion
of outstanding and prospective issuances of trust preferred securities in a
bank holding companys Tier 1 capital, subject to tightened quantitative
limits. The Federal Reserves amended rule was to become effective
March 31, 2009, and would have limited trust preferred securities and
other restricted core capital elements to 25% of all core capital elements, net
of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. On
March 16, 2009, the Federal Reserve Board extended for two years the
ability of bank holding companies to include restricted core capital elements
as Tier 1 capital up to 25% of all core capital elements, including goodwill.
The portion that exceeds the 25% capital limitation qualifies as Tier 2, or
supplementary capital of the Corporation. At September 30, 2009, the
entire $20.8 million in trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1.

REGULATORY
MATTERS
On October 16, 2009, the Board of
Directors of the Bank entered into an MOU with the OCC. An MOU with
regulatory authorities is an informal action that is not published or publicly
available and that is used when circumstances warrant a milder form of action
than a formal supervisory action, such as a formal written agreement or order.
Among other things, under the MOU, the Bank has agreed to address the following
matters:
·
Develop a comprehensive three-year capital
plan;
·
Take action to protect criticized assets and
adopt and implement a program to eliminate the basis of criticism of such
assets;
·
Establish an effective program that provides
for early problem loan identification and a formal plan to proactively manage
those assets;
·
Review the adequacy of the Banks information
technology activities and Bank Secrecy Act compliance and approve written
programs of policies and procedures to provide for compliance; and
·
Establish a Compliance Committee of the Board
to monitor and coordinate the Banks adherence to the provisions of the MOU.
The Board of Directors and
management have already initiated corrective actions to comply with the
provisions of the MOU.
Subsequent to September 30, 2009,
the OCC has also required the Bank to increase its Tier 1 leverage
capital ratio to not less than 8%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to not
less than 10% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than 12% by
December 31, 2009.

The Company has also received notice from the
Federal Reserve, the primary regulator of the Corporation, that the Federal
Reserve must approve any dividends to be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the declaration or payment of the dividend.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There
have been no material changes in the Corporations assessment of its
sensitivity to market risk since its presentation in the 2008 Annual Report.
Please refer to Item 7A of the Corporations 2008 Annual Report for more
information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
As
of September 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and
15(d)-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act)) was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of Management, including our President and CEO, Chief Operating
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the
identification of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial
reporting as described below, management has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and
forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weaknesses in our internal controls previously
disclosed in our Form 10-Q/A for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2009, respectively, and the related remediation efforts described
below, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act)
identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under
the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, those
controls.
Allowance for Loan and
Lease Losses
During the preparation of the Corporations for the nine months ended September 30,
2009, management identified a material weakness in the Corporations internal
controls related to the design and implementation of policies to promptly
identify problem loans and to quantify the elements of risk in problem
loans. The Banks policies and
procedures were not systematically applied, which caused a failure in the
identification of problem loans on a timely basis and a failure to accurately
estimate the risk in the portfolio; this in turn caused a failure to accurately
determine the appropriate Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses at June 30,
2009. Management also discovered a
monitoring weakness that contributed to the characterization of the status of
certain loans to be classified as fully performing, when in fact these loans
were not. Management concluded that the
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and the Provision for Loans and Lease
Losses as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 should
be increased by $3.5 million.
Mark-to-Market Accounting
of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Subsequent to the year ended
December 31, 2009, management identified a material weakness in internal
controls related to the Corporations process to review the valuation of
mortgage loans held for sale. Mortgage loans held for sale represent
mortgage loans originated by the Corporation and held until sold to secondary
market investors. Upon the closing of a residential mortgage loan originated by
the Corporation, the mortgage loan is typically warehoused for a period of time
and then sold into the secondary market. While in this warehouse phase,
mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value under the fair value
option with changes in fair value recognized through earnings. An error
was identified in the Corporations process to properly identify a certain
population of loans held for sale prior to sending the loan details to the
Corporations third party valuation firm. As such, at March 31, June 30,
and September 30, 2009, the Corporation erroneously excluded from the
population to be fair valued, loans which were identified for sale but for
which the Corporation was awaiting the consideration from the counterparty to
complete the sales transaction. These particular loans were
correctly classified as loans held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets
of the Original Filings; however the unrealized gains(losses) associated with
these loans was not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the
Statement of Operations. This error resulted in an understatement in the
carrying amount of loans held for sale for the quarters ended March 31, June 30
and September 30, 2009, as well as an understatement of net income for each
quarter. As a result of this material weakness, the Bank increased net gains
from mortgage banking by $1.2 million, $14 thousand and $2.7 million for the
quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2009,
respectively.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses
Allowance for Loan and
Lease Losses
During the fourth
quarter 2009 and subsequent to year-end, management began taking steps to
remediate the material weakness surrounding the Allowance for Loan and Lease
Losses. The following steps have been completed as of the time of this filing:
·
hired a seasoned Credit Administration and
Credit Policy Officer to oversee, manage and train lending personnel;
·
engaged an independent third party to perform
the quarterly loan review process, which includes 100% coverage of criticized
and classified assets;
·
approved and implemented separation of
lending and credit administration functions to increase internal controls and
improve segregation of duties;
·
conducted
risk recognition training to improve criticized asset management and to ensure
proper evaluation of ongoing credit ratings;
·
improved
processes for identifying impaired loans and the determination of the amount of
impairment in accordance with OCC guidelines;
·
approved and implemented change of lending
authorities to ensure better oversight of lenders and to increase oversight on
criticized assets;
·
approved and implemented Board of Director
approval for all new credit advances for criticized assets of $1,000,000 or
greater;
·
transferred responsibilities for management
and oversight of the Loan Quality Committee, Loan Committee, Delinquency
Committee and Classified Asset Committee to a separate Credit Administration
and Credit Policy Officer; and
·
the Loan Review Committee shall continue to
review the Loan Quality Status Reports on a quarterly basis.
Further,
management continues to review existing policies, procedures and practices for
compliance with risk rating, accountability and timeliness regarding credit
administration, risk recognition, credit management and credit assessment.
Mark-to-Market Accounting
of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Subsequent
to December 31, 2009, and immediately following managements
identification of the material weakness surrounding the mark-to-market
accounting of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale, management began to enhance
existing processes that when fully implemented will ensure the portfolio of
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale is complete prior to delivery to the third party
valuation firm. At each month-end a reconciliation will be performed to
ensure the loans held for sale included in file sent to the third party
valuation firm reconciles to the Corporations internal subledger. This
internal subledger of loans held for sale will be reconciled to the Corporations
general ledger. These reconciliations will be reviewed by management
monthly to ensure timely completion and that reconciling items, if any are
appropriately addressed.
As
of the date of this Amendment, management continues their ongoing efforts to
correct and revise the existing processes surrounding the material weaknesses
described above. Additional changes will be implemented as determined
necessary.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal
Proceedings
There
are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to the business, to which the Corporation, or any of its
subsidiaries, is a party or of which any of their respective property is the
subject.
Item 1A.
Risk
Factors
For
a summary of risk factors relevant to our operations, see Part 1, Item
1A, Risk Factors in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008. There are
no material changes in the risk factors relevant to our operations, except as
discussed below.
We presently are subject to, and in the future may become
subject to, regulatory enforcement actions that could have a material adverse
effect on our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations
or the value of our common stock.
Under
federal and state laws and regulations pertaining to the safety and soundness
of insured depository institutions, various state regulators (for state
chartered banks), the Federal Reserve (for bank holding companies), the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency (for national banks) and separately the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as the insurer of bank deposits,
have the authority to compel or restrict certain actions on our part if they
determine that we have insufficient capital or are otherwise operating in a
manner that may be deemed to be inconsistent with safe and sound banking
practices. Under this authority, our bank regulators can require us to enter
into informal or formal enforcement orders, including board resolutions,
memoranda of understanding, written agreements and consent or cease and desist
orders, pursuant to which we would be required to take identified corrective
actions to address cited concerns and to refrain from taking certain actions.
In
October 2009, the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank entered
into an MOU with the OCC to address certain issues that arose in the Banks
most recent regulatory examination. The issues required to be addressed by
management include, among other matters, to improve our loan portfolio and
credit risk management and related policies and procedures, address liquidity
management and current and future capital requirements, and strengthen
enterprise risk management and Bank Secrecy Act practices. In
November 2009, the OCC also required the Bank to increase its Tier 1
leverage capital ratio to not less than 8%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
to not less than 10% and its total risk-based capital ratio to not less than
12% by December 31, 2009.
If
we are unable to comply with the terms of the MOU, or if we are unable to
comply with the terms of any future regulatory orders to which we may become
subject, then we could become subject to additional, heightened supervisory
actions and orders, possibly including cease and desist orders, prompt
corrective actions and/or other regulatory enforcement actions. If our
regulators were to take such additional supervisory actions, then we could, among
other things, become subject to significant restrictions on our ability to
develop any new business, as well as restrictions on our existing business. The
terms of any such supervisory action could have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating flexibility, financial condition and the value of our
common stock.
We are required to maintain
capital to meet regulatory requirements, and if we fail to maintain sufficient
capital, whether due to losses, an inability to raise additional capital or otherwise,
our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, as well as our
regulatory requirements, would be adversely affected.
Both
we and the Bank must meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain
sufficient liquidity. The OCC recently required that the Bank achieve a Tier 1
leverage capital ratio of not less than 8%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of not less than 10% and its total risk-based capital ratio of not less than
12% by December 31, 2009, which are higher than the stated minimum capital
ratios. Our ability to raise additional capital, when and if needed, will
depend on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number
of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the banking industry
and market conditions, and governmental activities, many of which are outside
our control, and on our financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital if needed or
on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to meet these capital and other
regulatory requirements we may be subject to further enforcement actions
pursuant to which we would be required to take identified corrective actions to
address cited concerns and to refrain from taking certain actions. These actions may materially and adversely
affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.
Our
failure to remain well capitalized for bank regulatory purposes could affect
customer confidence, our ability to grow, our costs of funds and FDIC insurance
costs, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, our ability to make
44
Table of
Contents
distributions
on our trust preferred securities, our ability to make acquisitions, our
interest rates and our business, results of operation and financial conditions,
generally.
We depend primarily on dividends from the Bank for cash revenues, but
those dividends are subject to restrictions under the MOU and bank regulations.
Our
ability to satisfy our obligations and pay cash dividends to our shareholders
is primarily dependent on the earnings of and dividends from the Bank. However,
payment of dividends by the Bank is limited by our MOU with the OCC and by
dividend restrictions and capital requirements imposed by bank regulations.
Under the MOU, the Bank is required to request supervisory approval to dividend
any funds to us. We currently have $3.0 million of unsecured short-term
borrowings which are due to be paid on November 20, 2009. In the event the
Bank is not permitted by the OCC to dividend funds to us in connection with
this debt repayment, we may be in default under the terms of the loans. More
generally, in the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not
be able to service our debt, pay our obligations or pay dividends on our common
stock.
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting were determined not to be effective as of
September 30, 2009, as evidenced by material weaknesses that existed in
our internal controls. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting may not be effective in future periods, as a result
of newly identified material weaknesses in internal controls.
Effective
internal control over financial reporting is necessary for compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and appropriate financial reporting. Management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process,
under the supervision of the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external
reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. As disclosed in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, managements assessment of our internal control over
financial reporting identified material weaknesses as discussed in
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
. A
material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
Corporations annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. See
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
of this Form 10-Q for the remediation
status of the material weaknesses identified. However, there can be no
assurance that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the
future. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control
processes and we will continue to diligently and vigorously review our
financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and
improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take
additional measures to address internal control deficiencies or determine to
modify certain of the remediation measures described herein. We will continue
to be at an increased risk that our financial statements could contain errors
that will be undetected, and we will continue to incur significant expense and
management burdens associated with the additional procedures required to
prepare our consolidated financial statements.
Item 2.
Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The
Corporation announced on November 16, 2007, a program to repurchase up to
$10.0 million of the Corporations Common Stock. This program expires in
November 2009. This program replaced a previous program that expired in
October 2007. No purchases have been made under the program during the
three months ended September 30, 2009.
There
were no sales by the Corporation of unregistered securities during the three
months ended September 30, 2009.
Item 3.
Defaults
upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4.

September 1, 2009 (the Meeting).
Notice of the Meeting was mailed to shareholders of record on or about
August 6, 2009, together with proxy solicitation materials prepared in

Item 5.
Other Information
The Bank is currently undergoing a restructuring, which includes the
previously announced appointment of John A. Featherman, III as President,
James M. Deitch as Chief Operating Officer and Sheryl S. Vittitoe as Chief
Financial Officer. The restructuring will also include the termination of
certain Bank employees, including employees from its AHB Division by yearend.
The Bank expects to incur a charge of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth
quarter for severance liability connected with this restructuring. The Bank
also intends to reorganize its two current divisions into four divisions:
Commercial, Consumer, Wealth Management and Administration. The Bank is closing
three branches as part of the restructuring; the Bank expects to incur a charge
of approximately $1.1 million in the fourth quarter related to branch closure
expenses, including estimated lease liabilities and write-off of certain
leasehold improvements and fixed assets related to the branch closures. The
Bank is also closing 13 mortgage loan production offices related to Vision
Mortgage Division of AHB related to the restructuring, and will close an
additional six mortgage loan production offices operated as AHB production
branches. The Bank will incur approximately $60,000 in charges related to
severance, lease obligations and the write off of leasehold improvements, and
fixed assets related to such closures.
The
Corporation borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million during the
second and third quarters of 2009 on an unsecured, short-term basis from two
shareholders, with interest payable in each case at 12% per annum. On October 20,
2009, the Corporation received a demand for payment of $3.0 million principal
amount of such borrowings in accordance with terms of the loans, with the
demand payable on November 20, 2009. The other $1.0 million principal
amount of unsecured loan originally matured on November 24, 2009, but has
been extended by the lender to May 24, 2010. The Corporation is currently
attempting to negotiate to extend the maturity of the $3 million due on November 20,
2009. If the Corporation is unable to extend the loans, the Bank may need to
dividend to the Corporation some or all of such funds. Under its informal MOU
with the OCC, the Bank is required to obtain supervisory approval to dividend
any funds to the Corporation. Any such dividend to the Corporation will
directly affect the Banks capital and in turn, its fourth quarter regulatory
capital ratios.
