Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) and section 225.15 of Regulation Y. The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Bank was originally incorporated as a Pennsylvania bank on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. It was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s primary market area.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in the Form 10-K of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events . SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred between June 30, 2009 and August 14, 2009, the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company as applied in the interim financial statements presented, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Note 3 – Stockholder’s Equity

On November 11, 2008, the Company consummated its acquisition of Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley pursuant to a Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated April 18, 2008, pursuant to which the Bank was reorgnized into a bank holding company structure. At the effective time of the reorganization, each share of common stock of Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley issued and outstanding was automatically converted into one share of Company common stock. The issuance of Company common stock in connection with the reorganization was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(12) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 4 – Comprehensive Income

The only other comprehensive income item that the Company presently has is unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. The components of the change in unrealized gains (losses) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands) are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008
	(In thousands)						(In thousands)
Change in unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale	$	10		$	(1,168	)	$	207		$	(224	)

Tax effect		(3	)		397			(70	)		76
Change in net unrealized gains (losses)	$	7		$	(771	)	$	137		$	(148	)

Note 5 – Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

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

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008		2009		2008
	(In Thousands, except per share data)				( In Thousands, except per share data)

Net income	$	554	$	241	$	878	$	320

Weighted average shares outstanding		6,902		6,888		6,897		6,887

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.08	$	0.03	$	0.12	$	0.04

Stock options for 73,339 and 76,114 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively because they are not dilutive.

Note 6 – Guarantees

The Company, through the Bank, does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $2,833,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2009. The approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $2,344,000. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2009 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 7 – Short-term and Long-term Borrowings

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) short term advances generally represent overnight or less than twelve month borrowings. Long term advances from the FHLB are for proceeds of twelve months or more and are generally less than sixty months. The Bank has an agreement with the FHLB which allows for borrowings up to a percentage of qualifying assets. At June 30, 2009, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity for short-term and long-term advances of approximately $192.4 million of which $19.9 million was outstanding in long-term loans. There were no short-term advances outstanding at June 30, 2009. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

The Bank has a federal funds line of credit with the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank of approximately $6.0 million of which none was outstanding at June 30, 2009. Advances from this line are unsecured.

The Company has a line of credit with Univest National Bank and Trust Company totaling $6.0 million. As of June 30, 2009 the outstanding balance was $4.2 million. Advances from this line of credit are secured by 500,000 shares of Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley common stock. Interest on the borrowing is a fixed rate of 7.5%. The loan matures in November 2013. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Bank is required to remain well capitalized under applicable federal banking regulations.

Note 8 – Securities Available For Sale (Continued)

The following tables show the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

June 30, 2009:

	Less Than 12 Months					12 Months or More				Total
	Fair Value		Unrealized Losses			Fair Value		Unrealized Losses		Fair Value		Unrealized Losses
Taxable municipal bonds	$	10,173	$	(212	)	$	-	$	-	$	10,173	$	(212	)
Total Temporarily Impaired Securities	$	10,173	$	(212	)	$	-	$	-	$	10,173	$	(212	)

December 31, 2008:

Taxable municipal bonds	$	2,346	$	(65	)	$	-	$	-	$	2,346	$	(65	)
Mortgage-backed securities		3,719		(14	)		-		-		3,719		(14	)
Total Temporarily Impaired Securities	$	6,065	$	(79	)	$	-	$	-	$	6,065	$	(79	)

The Company had 22 securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2009. Unrealized losses detailed above relate to taxable municipal and mortgage-backed securities and the decline in fair value is due only to interest rate fluctuations. As the Company has the intent and ability to hold such investments until maturity or market price recovery, no securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. None of the individual unrealized losses are significant.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. All of the Company’s investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are evaluated for OTTI under SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, as amended by FSP No. FAS 115-2.

In determining OTTI under the SFAS 115 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on information available to management at a point in time. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

When an OTTI occurs under the model, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable tax benefit. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment. As of June 30, 2009 the Company has the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity or market price recovery. Management believes that the unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities.

Note 8 – Securities Available For Sale (Continued)

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”), the Company is required to purchase and hold stock in the FHLB to satisfy membership and borrowing requirements. This stock is restricted in that it can only be sold to the FHLB or to another member institution, and all sales of FHLB stock must be at par. As a result of these restrictions, FHLB stock is unlike other investment securities insofar as there is no trading market for FHLB stock and the transfer price is determined by FHLB membership rules and not by market participants. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our FHLB stock totaled $2,069,000 million and $2,035,000, respectively.

In December 2008, the FHLB voluntarily suspended dividend payments on its stock, as well as the repurchase of excess stock from members. The FHLB cited a significant reduction in the level of core earnings resulting from lower short-term interest rates, the increased cost of liquidity, and constrained access to the debt markets at attractive rates and maturities as the main reasons for the decision to suspend dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock. The FHLB last paid a dividend in the third quarter of 2008.

FHLB stock is held as a long-term investment and its value is determined based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company evaluates impairment quarterly. The decision of whether impairment exists is a matter of judgment that reflects our view of the FHLB’s long-term performance, which includes factors such as the following:

its operating performance;

the severity and duration of declines in the fair value of its net assets related to its capital stock amount;

its commitment to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to its operating performance;

the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB, and accordingly, on the members of FHLB; and

its liquidity and funding position.

After evaluating all of these considerations, the Company concluded that the par value of its investment in FHLB stock will be recovered. Accordingly, no impairment charge was recorded on these securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Our evaluation of the factors described above in future periods could result in the recognition of impairment charges on FHLB stock.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective for its fiscal years beginning January 1, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company only partially adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 in 2008 and began to account and report for non-financial assets and liabilities in 2009. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”), to clarify the application of the provisions of SFAS 157 in an inactive market and how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market. The adoption of SFAS 157 and FSP 157-3 had no impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements .

SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are as follows:

Level 1 : Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 : Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Ending Balance, June 30	$	562

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

Description			(Level 1) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		(Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs		(Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs

December 31, 2008 Impaired loans	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. An entity shall also disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and any changes in the method(s) and significant assumptions during the period. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. FAS 107-1 does not require disclosure for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FAS 107-1 requires comparative disclosures only for period ending after initial adoption.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009:

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)

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

Interest Bearing Time Deposits (Carried at Cost)

Fair values for fixed-rate time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The Company generally purchases amounts below the insured limit, limiting the amount of credit risk on these time deposits.

Securities (Carried at Fair Value)

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

Loans Receivable (Carried at Cost)

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

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (“SFAS 114”) , in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. At June 30, 2009 the fair value consists of the loan balances of $546,000, with an associated valuation allowance of $221,000.

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Restricted Investment in Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

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

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)

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

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased (Carried at Cost)

These borrowings are short term and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Short-Term Borrowings (Carried at Cost)

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

Long-Term Debt (Carried at Cost)

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

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Disclosed at Cost)

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

Note 10 – New Accounting Standards

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 157-4). FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

FSP FAS 157-4 provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with Statement 157.

This FSP clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The FSP provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

Note 10 – New Accounting Standards (Continued)

This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this FSP for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This FSP had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption, although additional disclosures were required and are included in Note 9.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment. Previously, this assessment required management to assert it has both the intent and the ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value to avoid recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment. This change does not affect the need to forecast recovery of the value of the security through either cash flows or market price.

In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 changes the presentation and amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the income statement. The other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This statement prescribes the information that a reporting entity must provide in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. Specifically, among other aspects, SFAS 166 amends Statement of Financial Standard No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities , or SFAS 140, by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS 140 and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities. It also modifies the financial- components approach used in SFAS 140. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 – New Accounting Standards (Continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This statement amends FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003) — an interpretation of ARB No. 51 , or FIN 46(R), to require an enterprise to determine whether it’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is currently reviewing the effect this new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162 , The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, to establish the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could impact the Company’s operating results include, but are not limited to, (i) the effects of changing economic conditions in the Company's market areas and nationally, (ii) credit risks of commercial, real estate, consumer and other lending activities, (iii) significant changes in interest rates, (iv) changes in federal and state banking laws and regulations which could impact the Company’s operations, and (v) other external developments which could materially affect the Company’s business and operations.

OVERVIEW

Table of Contents

The Company’s assets grew $60.7 million from $391.1 million at December 31, 2008 to $451.8 million at June 30, 2009 due to purchasing of short and long term investment securities and loan growth, which were funded through strong deposit growth.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $554 thousand compared to a net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $241 thousand. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $878 thousand compared to a net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $320 thousand. Due to the current interest rate environment, the cost of deposits has decreased. Furthermore, due to the current competitive nature of lending, loan yields have decreased as well. Loan yields, however, have decreased at a slower pace than the costs of deposits. The result has been an increase in the net interest margins as compared to 2008. Net income is anticipated to increase as the Bank increases its deposit base and generates additional loan volume. Additional branch locations would be expected to add expenses which over time should be offset by the increase in net interest income generated by branch activities.

On November 6, 2001, the commencement date of operations, the Company opened its main office in Bethlehem at 100 Gateway Drive, Hanover Township, Northampton County. As of June 30, 2009, the branch had $184.6 million in deposits and $237.0 million in net loans outstanding.

On May 3, 2005, the Company opened its first branch in Allentown at 4148 West Tilghman Street, South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County. At June 30, 2009, the branch had $99.6 million in deposits and $62.7 million in net loans outstanding.

On September 7, 2006, the Company opened its second branch in Bethlehem at 925 West Broad Street, City of Bethlehem, Lehigh County. At June 30, 2009, the branch had $35.3 million in deposits and $17.8 million in net loans outstanding.

On April 2, 2007, the Company opened its third branch in Trexlertown at 6379 Hamilton Boulevard, Lower Macungie Township, Lehigh County. At June 30, 2009, the branch had $45.8 million in deposits and $20.1 million in net loans outstanding.

On July 20, 2009, the Company opened its fourth branch in Allentown at 1142 South Cedar Crest Boulevard, Salisbury Township, Lehigh County.

In June 2008, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for a potential branch location on Route 378 in Lower Saucon Township, which is expected to open by the third quarter of 2009.

On March 13, 2009, the Company entered into a land lease agreement for a branch location on Corriere Road and Route 248 in Lower Nazareth Township, which is expected to open in 2010. The agreement is contingent upon completing proper due diligence of the site, including title, survey, and environmental matters, planning and zoning approvals.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $665 thousand to $5.71 million as compared with $5.05 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of growth in the loan and investment portfolios. Average earning assets were $437.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $343.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The yield on average earning assets was 5.28% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 5.90% for the second quarter of 2008.

Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $211 thousand to $2.49 million as compared with $2.70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to decreases in deposit rates. Average interest bearing liabilities were $391.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $302.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 2.55% for the second quarter of 2009 compared to 3.59% for the second quarter of 2008. This decrease was the result of market conditions, deposit mix, competition, and management’s resulting adjustments to the interest rates provided to depositors.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $3.22 million compared to net interest income of $2.35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The improvement in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 is a result of growth in the loan and investment portfolios and significant decreases in the interest expense associated with deposits and other borrowed funds. The Bank’s net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased 20 basis points to 2.94% from 2.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to the current interest rate environment including the decreased cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the competitive interest rate pressure of lending which kept loan rates relatively level in relation to overall market rate reductions.

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $1.07 million to $11.08 million as compared with $10.01 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of growth in the loan and investment portfolios. Average earning assets were $420.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $337.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The yield on average earning assets was 5.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 5.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $552 thousand to $5.13 million as compared with $5.68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to decreases in deposit rates. Average interest bearing liabilities were $376.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $296.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 2.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was the result of market conditions, deposit mix, competition, and management’s resulting adjustments to the interest rates provided to depositors.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $5.95 million compared to net interest income of $4.33 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The improvement in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is a result of growth in the loan and investment portfolios and significant decreases in the interest expense associated with deposits and other borrowed funds. The Bank’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 24 basis points to 2.82% from 2.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, due to the current interest rate environment including the decreased cost of deposits and borrowed funds and the competitive interest rate pressure of lending which kept loan rates relatively level in relation to overall market rate reductions.

Below is the table which sets forth average balances and corresponding yields for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008:

Provision for Loan Losses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, management has provided a provision for loan losses of $195 thousand and $367 thousand, as compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2008 of $192 thousand and $263 thousand, respectively. Interest in the amount of $15 thousand was charged off on one loan which was placed into non-accrual status in 2009. The allowance for loan losses is $3.3 million as of June 30, 2009, which is 0.96% of outstanding loans compared to $2.8 million or 0.90% of outstanding loans as of June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses of $2.9 million represented 0.92% of total outstanding loans. Based principally on economic conditions, asset quality, and loan-loss experience including that of comparable institutions in the Bank’s market area, the allowance is believed to be adequate. The Bank has not participated in any sub-prime lending activity.

Table of Contents

The activity in the allowance for loan losses is shown in the following table, as well as period end loans receivable and the allowance for loan losses as a percent of the total loan portfolio:

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income was $207 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $164 thousand for the same period in 2008. Total non-interest income was $393 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $320 thousand for the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to the growth in the Bank’s credit card and merchant processing customer base.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses increased $496 thousand or 25.4% from $1.95 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $2.45 million for the same period ended June 30, 2009. The increase is due to: an increase of $97 thousand in salary and employee benefits, the majority of which are in conjunction with increased branch staffing, and salary adjustments; an increase of $81 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense resulting from increases in other occupancy costs associated with the main office and the new branch office; a $10 thousand increase in loan expenses; an increase of $237 thousand in FDIC insurance; an increase of $12 thousand in charitable contributions; an increase of $86 thousand in data processing expenses; and increase of $6 thousand in insurance; and an increase of $59 thousand in professional fees; offset by a decrease of $44 thousand in credit card expense; a decrease of $32 thousand in advertising; and a decrease of $16 thousand in other expenses.

Non-interest expenses increased $805 thousand or 20.7% from $3.89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $4.70 million for the same period ended June 30, 2009. The increase is due to: an increase of $176 thousand in salary and employee benefits, the majority of which are in conjunction with increased branch staffing, and salary adjustments; an increase of $91 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense resulting from increases in other occupancy costs associated with the main office and the new branch office; a $24 thousand increase in loan expenses; an increase of $354 thousand in FDIC insurance; an increase of $28 thousand in charitable contributions; an increase of $166 thousand in data processing expenses; and an increase of $57 thousand in professional fees; an increase of $12 thousand in insurance; and an increase of $6 thousand in other expenses, offset by a decrease of $107 thousand in credit card expense; and a decrease of $2 thousand in advertising.

Table of Contents

In July 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted (the “SOX”). The stated goals of the SOX are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosure pursuant to the securities laws. The SOX generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company implemented the SOX management assertion requirement on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Management anticipates third party compliance expenses for ongoing compliance with the SOX.

The Bank's FDIC premium increased this quarter due primarily to a special assessment of five basis points, approximately $205 thousand, on the Bank's assets minus its Tier 1 Capital as of June 30, 2009, payable September 30, 2009. The Bank also incurred an increase in the standard FDIC premium from 0.06% of total deposits in 2008 to 0.13% in 2009. The Bank approximates its total annual premium to increase from $159 thousand in 2008 to $745 thousand in 2009. The FDIC has announced the potential for an additional special assessment by year end, which is not included.

A breakdown of other expenses can be found in the statements of income.

Income Taxes

The provision for current income taxes for three and six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $234 thousand and $404 thousand, respectively, or 29.7% and 31.5%, respectively, of income before taxes. The provision for current income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $127 thousand and $179 thousand, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The Bank’s securities portfolio continues to be classified, in its entirety, as “available for sale.” Management believes that a portfolio classification of available for sale allows complete flexibility in the investment portfolio. Using this classification, the Bank intends to hold these securities for an indefinite amount of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Such securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The portfolio is structured to provide maximum return on investments while providing a consistent source of liquidity and meeting strict risk standards. Investment securities consist primarily of U.S. Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC or FNMA, Corporate Bonds, and Taxable and Non Taxable Municipal Bonds. The Bank holds no high-risk securities or derivatives as of June 30, 2009. The bank did not make any investments in non-US Agency mortgage backed securities or sub-prime loans.

Total securities at June 30, 2009 were $69.9 million compared to securities of $54.3 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in the investment portfolio is the result of municipal bond and corporate bond purchases, offset by principal payments on U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities. The carrying value of the securities portfolio as of June 30, 2009 includes a net unrealized gain of $1.7 million, which is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity net of income tax effect. This compares to a net unrealized gain of $1.5 million at December 31, 2008. The current unrealized gain position of the securities portfolio is due to the changes in market rates since December 31, 2008. No securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Restricted investments in bank stock consists of Federal Home Loan Bank stock (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stock. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The restricted stocks are carried at cost.

In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock. The Company had $2,069,000 of FHLB stock as of June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 01-6, “Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others.” Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB as of June 30, 2009.

Loans

The loan portfolio comprises a major component of the Bank’s earning assets. All of the Bank’s loans are to domestic borrowers. Total net loans at June 30, 2009 increased $20.9 million to $337.5 million from $316.6 million at December 31, 2008. The loan to deposit ratio has decreased from 103.9% at December 31, 2008 to 93.32% at June 30, 2009. The Bank’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2009 was comprised of consumer loans of $154.0 million, an increase of $14.5 million from December 31, 2008, and commercial loans of $186.8 million, an increase of $7.2 million from December 31, 2008, before the allowance for loan losses and deferred costs. The Bank has not originated, nor does it intend to originate sub-prime mortgage loans.

Credit Risk and Loan Quality

The allowance for loan losses increased $352 thousand to $3.28 million at June 30, 2009 from $2.93 million at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.96% and 0.92% respectively of total loans. Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, the perceived credit risk in the portfolio and loan-loss experience of comparable institutions in the Bank’s market area, management feels the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses.

There was a recorded investment in impaired loans at June 30, 2009 of $546 thousand compared to none at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. The June 30, 2009 impairment required an allowance for loan losses of $221 thousand. Non-performing loans were 0.16% and 0.00% of total loans at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Premises and Equipment

Company premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, decreased $5 thousand from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. This decrease is due primarily to depreciation expense on existing premises and equipment, offset by equipment purchases for the new branch.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2009 increased $57.3 million to $364.9 million from $307.6 million at December 31, 2008. Savings deposits increased by $58.2 million and demand deposits increased by $6.0 million, offset by time deposits which decreased by $6.9 million. The significant growth in savings deposits is attributed to successful promotions along with a shift of funds from time deposit accounts.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet the demands required for the funding of loans and to meet depositors’ requirements for use of their funds. The Company’s sources of liquidity are cash balances, due from banks, and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents were $26.1 million at June 30, 2009 resulting from strong deposit growth during the year, compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from the investment security and loan portfolios. Long-term liquidity needs may be met by selling securities available for sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $69.9 million of available for sale securities. Securities with carrying values of approximately $42,314,000 and $34,752,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, public deposits, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

The Bank also has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of approximately $192.4 million of which $19.9 million was outstanding in long-term loans at June 30, 2009. With respect to the long-term loans, $1.4 million mature in 2009, $9.1 million mature in 2010, $1.5 million mature in 2012, and $7.9 million mature in 2013. The Bank also has a line of credit with the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank of approximately $25.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively of which none was outstanding at June 30, 2009. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank and advances from the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank line are unsecured.

The Company has a line of credit in the amount of $6 million with Univest National Bank and Trust Company, of which $4.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2009. This line of credit is secured by 500,000 shares of Bank common stock.

The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

In July 2005, the Company entered into a ground lease agreement for a branch location on Cedar Crest Boulevard in Allentown, which commenced in 2007. In March 2009, the Company committed to a lease agreement for this fifth branch location which terminates the ground lease. The new lease is included in the minimum lease payment schedule. This branch was opened on July 20, 2009.

On March 13, 2009, the Company entered into a land lease agreement for a branch location on Corriere Road and Route 248 in Lower Nazareth Township. The agreement is contingent upon completing proper due diligence of the site, including title, survey, and environmental matters, planning and zoning approvals.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist mainly of unfunded loans and lines of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These unused commitments totaled $60.4 million at June 30, 2009. The Company also has letters of credit outstanding of $2.8 million at June 30, 2009. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management is of the opinion that the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its anticipated needs.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

Total stockholders’ equity was $31.5 million as of June 30, 2009, representing a net increase of $1.1 million from December 31, 2008. The increase in capital was a result of the net income of $878 thousand, the exercise of stock options of $81 thousand, and the increase in unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities of $137 thousand.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

(a) In the normal course of business activities, the Company is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments. The Asset/Liability Committee, as a function of the Board of Directors, is responsible for managing the rate sensitivity position, using Board approved policies and procedures. No material changes in the market risk strategy occurred during the current period. A detailed discussion of interest rate risk is provided in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Item 4T – Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009, and they have concluded that, as of this date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.

There were no significant changes to our internal controls over financial reporting or in the other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weakness.
