Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets increased $27.5 million or 6.5% to $451.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $424.1 million at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to a $33.0 million or 116.5% increase in total cash and cash equivalents and a $2.1 million or 0.8% increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses. These increases were partially offset by a $3.7 million or 9.8% decrease in investment securities available for sale and a $6.6 million or 20.7% decrease in mortgage backed securities available for sale. The increase in total cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributed to an increase in customer deposits as well as the decrease in investment securities available for sale that resulted from certain securities being called by the issuers and the decrease in mortgage backed securities available for sale which was due to normal principal repayments.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent and other real estate owned (OREO) (which includes real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure) increased to $10.7 million or 2.37% of total assets at September 30, 2009 from $7.0 million or 1.65% of total assets at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the placement of a $3.9 million residential real estate construction loan on nonaccrual in the first quarter of 2009. This loan is secured by 18 substantially completed condominium units, 2 of which have been sold and settled, located near center city Philadelphia. At September 30, 2009, the $10.7 million of nonperforming assets consisted of $1.4 million of accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent, $6.4 million of nonaccrual loans, and $2.9 million in OREO. At September 30, 2009, the $6.4 million of nonaccrual loans consisted of three single family real estate loans totaling $1.0 million, eleven commercial real estate loans totaling $1.2 million, one real estate construction loan in the amount of $3.9 million, and two commercial business loans in the amount of $322,000. The amount of specific reserves related to nonaccrual loans was $304,000 as of September 30, 2009. Management continues to aggressively pursue the collection and resolution of all delinquent loans.
