Highlight of Business Operations:

Total assets increased $12.3 million or 2.9% to $436.4 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $424.1 million at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to a $20.1 million or 70.9% increase in total cash and cash equivalents and a $2.5 million or 0.9% increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses. The increase was partially offset by a $9.7 million or 25.6% decrease in investment securities available for sale and a $4.6 million or 14.5% 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 $11.2 million or 2.57% of total assets at June 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. This loan is secured by 18 substantially completed condominium units, 2 of which have been sold and settled, located near center city Philadelphia. At June 30, 2009, the $11.2 million of nonperforming assets consisted of $1.7 million of accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent, $7.4 million of nonaccrual loans, and $2.1 million in OREO. At June 30, 2009, the $7.4 million of nonaccrual loans consisted of two single family real estate loans totaling $1.4 million, ten commercial real estate loans totaling $1.8 million, one real estate construction loan in the amount of $3.9 million, and one commercial business loan in the amount of $248,000. The amount of specific reserves related to nonaccrual loans was $249,000 as of June 30, 2009. Management continues to aggressively pursue the collection and resolution of all delinquent loans.
