Market Area

We conduct our operations from our main office in Vineland, New Jersey and eight full-service branch offices located in Cumberland and Gloucester counties in New Jersey, which is our primary market area for loans and deposits. These counties are in the southwest part of New Jersey, within a one hour driving distance of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Wilmington, Delaware and Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Our market areas have a broad range of private employers, as well as public employers such as federal, state and local governments. Gloucester County is located within the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area of the United States Census Bureau, and diverse employment opportunities exist within this area. Cumberland County is predominantly rural, with a smaller proportion of higher paying white collar jobs. Industries represented in the employment base include healthcare, retail, glass manufacturing, higher education, agriculture and food processing. The New Jersey Motor Sports Park opened in July 2008. This motorsports attraction has hosted nationally broadcast races from its 700 acre facility in Cumberland County. In addition, a large airline company recently announced that it would locate a facility at Millville Airport, which will replace many positions lost upon the departure of another company from the same facility.

According to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the population of Cumberland and Gloucester counties, New Jersey grew 7.1% and 12.6%, respectively, from 2000 to December 31, 2009. The unemployment rates for Cumberland and Gloucester counties were 10.3% and 6.9% as of December 2008, respectively, compared to 14.2% and 10.5% as of December 2009, respectively. This compares to 10.1% for the entire State of New Jersey and 10.0% for the United States as a whole.

U.S. Census Bureau data indicates the median household income as of December 31, 2008 was $50,833 and $70,837 for Cumberland and Gloucester counties, New Jersey, respectively, compared to $39,150 and $54,273 as of December 31, 2000. Based on the American Community Survey for 2008 and the United States Census Bureau for 2000, the home housing value in Cumberland County, New Jersey was $184,500 as of December 2008 compared to $91,200 for 2000. Similarly, for Gloucester County, New Jersey, the median home value has increased to $249,300 as of 2008 compared to $120,100 as of 2000.

Competition

We face significant competition in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Cumberland and Gloucester Counties, New Jersey, which comprise our primary market area, have a high concentration of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than we, and many of which are our competitors to varying degrees. As of June 30, 2009 (the latest date for which information is available), our market share was 16.48% of total deposits in Cumberland County, making us the second largest out of 12 financial institutions in Cumberland County based upon deposit share as of that date. As of June 30, 2009, our market share was 1.77% of total deposits in Gloucester County, making us the 12th largest out of 22 financial institutions based on deposit share as of that date. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking. Our competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, savings banks, mortgage banking companies and credit unions. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from nondepository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies.

We seek to meet this competition by emphasizing personalized banking, competitive pricing strategies and the advantage of local decision-making in our banking business. Specifically, we promote and maintain relationships and build customer loyalty within our market area by focusing our marketing and community involvement on the specific needs of local communities.

Lending Activities

General. We originate one- to four-family residential real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, construction loans, consumer loans and multi-family mortgage loans. At December 31, 2009, our gross loan portfolio totaled $324.6 million compared to $305.6 million at December 31, 2008. As a result of our current regulatory capital position, we are controlling the growth of our commercial real estate loan portfolio and, forwarding the future, we intend to limit all loans (other than one- to four-family residential real estate loans) to 275% of the sum of core capital (generally common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings) and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets) plus our allowance for loan losses.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. We offer conforming and non-conforming, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential real estate loans with maturities of up to 30 years. This portfolio totaled $151.4 million, or 46.6% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2009.

We currently offer fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans with terms of 10 to 30 years that are fully amortizing with monthly loan payments, and adjustable-rate conventional residential real estate loans with initial fixed-rate terms of one, three, five or seven years that amortize up to 30 years. One- to four-family residential real estate loans are generally underwritten according to Fannie Mae guidelines, and loans that conform to such guidelines are referred to as “conforming loans.” We generally originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans in amounts up to the maximum conforming loan limits as established by Fannie Mae, which for 2010 is currently $417,000 for single-family homes located in our primary market area. Private mortgage insurance is required for first mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. We also originate loans above conforming limits, referred to as “jumbo loans,” although the significant majority of the loans we have originated have been within conforming loan limits.

We currently offer several adjustable-rate loan products secured by residential properties with rates that are fixed for an initial period ranging from one year to seven years. After the initial fixed-rate period, the interest rate on these loans resets based upon a contractual spread or margin above the average yield on U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of one, three or five years, as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board, subject to certain periodic and lifetime limitations on interest rate changes. Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans primarily because the underlying debt service payments of the borrowers rise as interest rates rise, thereby increasing the potential for default. At December 31, 2009, our adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential real estate loan portfolio totaled $19.2 million.

We require title insurance on all of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and we also require that borrowers maintain fire and extended coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the loan balance or the replacement cost of the improvements. Nearly all residential real estate loans must have a mortgage escrow account from which disbursements are made for real estate taxes. We do not conduct environmental testing on residential real estate loans unless specific concerns for hazards are determined by the appraiser utilized in connection with the loan.

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. In addition to traditional one- to four-family residential real estate loans, we offer home equity loans and home equity lines of credit that are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. At December 31, 2009, the outstanding balances of home equity loans totaled $32.7 million, or 10.1% of our total loan portfolio, and the outstanding balance of home equity lines of credit totaled $5.2 million, or 1.6% of our total loan portfolio. The borrower is permitted to draw on a home equity line of credit at any time after it is originated and may repay the outstanding balance over a term not to exceed 15 years from the date of the borrower’s last draw on the home equity line of credit. We generally review each performing line of credit every six years to determine whether to continue to offer the unused portion of the line of credit to the borrower. However, due to the current economic environment, we reviewed and evaluated every home equity line of credit during 2008. Our home equity loans are generally originated as mortgages with fixed terms of five to 15 years or with balloon maturities of three or five years. Home equity loans and lines of credit are generally underwritten with the same criteria that we use to underwrite fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. We currently underwrite fixed-rate home equity loans with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% when combined with the principal balance of the existing first mortgage loan and we underwrite lines of credit with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 75% when combined with the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan. We obtain an appraisal of the property securing the loan at the time of the loan application in order to determine the value of the property securing the home equity loan or line of credit. At the time we close a home equity loan or line of credit, we file a mortgage to perfect our security interest in the underlying collateral.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. We also originate real estate loans secured by first liens on commercial real estate. The commercial real estate properties are predominantly professional offices, churches and hotels and, to a lesser extent, manufacturing and retail facilities and healthcare facilities. We have purchased commercial real estate loan participations through the Thrift Institution Community Investment Council, which originates loans for Community Reinvestment Act purposes. We have also originated commercial real estate loans as a participant with other lenders. We emphasize commercial real estate loans with initial principal balances between $100,000 and $2.0 million. Loans secured by commercial real estate totaled $97.1 million, or 29.9% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2009, and consisted of 241 loans outstanding with an average loan balance of approximately $403,000, although we have originated loans with balances substantially greater than this average. Substantially all of our commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located in our primary market area.

Our commercial real estate loans are generally written as mortgages with balloon maturities of five years. Amortization of these loans is typically based on 10- to 20-year payout schedules. We also originate some 10 and 15-year, fixed-rate, fully amortizing loans. We establish margins for commercial real estate loans based upon our cost of funds, but we also consider rates offered by our competitors in our market area. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable, but may not be fixed for periods of longer than 10 years.

In the underwriting of commercial real estate loans, we currently lend up to 75% of the lower of the purchase price or the property’s appraised value. We base our decisions to lend on the economic viability of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In evaluating a proposed commercial real estate loan, we emphasize the ratio of the property’s projected net cash flow to the loan’s debt service requirement (generally requiring a minimum ratio of 120%), computed after deduction for a vacancy factor and property expenses we deem appropriate. Personal guarantees are usually obtained from commercial real estate borrowers. We require title insurance insuring the priority of our lien, fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and, if appropriate, flood insurance, in order to protect our security interest in the underlying property.

Commercial real estate loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than those on one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Commercial real estate loans, however, entail significant additional credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the repayment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Commercial Loans. We offer various types of secured and unsecured commercial loans to customers in our market area for business expansion, working capital and other general business purposes. The terms of these loans generally range from less than one year to five years. The loans are either negotiated on a fixed-rate basis or carry adjustable interest rates indexed to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, although the significant majority of our commercial loans are fixed-rate loans. At December 31, 2009, we had 200 commercial loans outstanding with an aggregate balance of $17.9 million, or 5.5% of the total loan portfolio. These totals include 29 unsecured commercial loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $1.1 million. As of December 31, 2009, the average commercial loan balance (secured and unsecured loans) was approximately $89,000, although we have originated loans with balances substantially greater than this average.

Commercial credit decisions are based upon our credit assessment of the loan applicant. We determine the applicant’s ability to repay in accordance with the proposed terms of the loans and we assess the risks involved. We also evaluate the applicant’s credit and business history and ability to manage the loan and its business. We usually obtain personal guarantees of the principals. In addition to evaluating the loan applicant’s financial statements, we consider the adequacy of the primary and secondary sources of repayment for the loan. We supplement our analysis of the applicant’s creditworthiness with credit agency reports of the applicant’s credit history. We may also check with other banks and conduct trade investigations. Collateral supporting a secured transaction also is analyzed to determine its marketability. Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates than residential loans of like duration because they have a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of any collateral. Our pricing of commercial business loans is based primarily on the credit risk of the borrower, with due consideration given to borrowers with appropriate deposit relationships and competition.

Construction Loans. We originate construction loans to individuals and builders in our market area. These loans totaled $14.1 million, or 4.3% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, we had 33 construction loans outstanding with an average balance of $427,000. Our construction loans are often originated in conjunction with development loans. In the case of residential subdivisions, these loans finance the cost of completing homes on the improved property. Advances on construction loans are made in accordance with a schedule reflecting the cost of construction, but are generally limited to 75% of actual construction costs and a 75% loan to completed appraised value ratio. Repayment of construction loans on residential subdivisions is normally expected from the sale of units to individual purchasers.

Construction lending exposes us to greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing. The repayment of construction loans may depend upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. Construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.

While we originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of loan depends upon borrower demand, market interest rates, borrower preference for fixed- versus adjustable-rate loans, and the interest rates offered on each type of loan by other lenders competing in our market area. Loan originations are derived from a number of sources, including branch office personnel, existing customers, borrowers, builders, attorneys, accountants and other professionals, real estate broker referrals and walk-in customers.

Our loan origination activity may be adversely affected by a rising interest rate environment that typically results in decreased loan demand, while declining interest rates may stimulate increased loan demand. Accordingly, the volume of loan originations, the mix of fixed and adjustable-rate loans, and the profitability of this activity can vary from period to period. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten to current Fannie Mae seller/servicer guidelines, and are closed on documents that conform to Fannie Mae guidelines.

During 2009, we sold $4.2 million in loans. We have not purchased any whole loans in recent periods. We are an approved loan seller and seller/servicer for Fannie Mae. We may continue to sell conforming loans in the future. Currently, we do not retain the servicing rights for the conforming loans we sell.

Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting. Our board of directors grants lending authority to our Management Loan Committee and to individual executive officers and loan officers. Our lending activities are subject to written policies established by the board of directors. These policies are reviewed periodically.

The Management Loan Committee may approve loans in accordance with applicable loan policies, including our policy governing loans to one borrower. This policy limits the aggregate dollar amount of credit that may be extended to any one borrower and related entities. The Management Loan Committee may approve secured loans in amounts up to $300,000, and unsecured loans in amounts up to $100,000.

In connection with our residential and commercial real estate loans, we generally require property appraisals to be performed by independent appraisers who are approved by the board of directors. Appraisals are then reviewed by our loan underwriting personnel. Under certain conditions, we may not require appraisals for loans under $250,000, but we obtain appraisals in nearly all of these cases. We also require title insurance, hazard insurance and, if necessary, flood insurance on property securing mortgage loans.

Loan Origination Fees and Costs. In addition to interest earned on loans, we also receive loan origination fees. Such fees vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made, and competitive conditions in the mortgage markets, which in turn respond to the demand and availability of money. We defer loan origination fees and costs and amortize such amounts as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan by use of the level-yield method. Deferred loan origination fees (net of deferred costs) were $394,000 and $307,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Loans to One Borrower. At December 31, 2009, our five largest aggregate amounts loaned to any borrower and related interests totaled $5.6 million, $5.3 million, $5.2 million, $5.0 million and $4.9 million. At December 31, 2009, these loans were all performing according to their terms. Under federal banking regulations, at December 31, 2009 our maximum loan-to-one borrower limit was $5.9 million. See “Supervision and Regulation—Federal Banking Regulation—Loans to One Borrower” for a discussion of applicable regulatory limitations.

Delinquent Loans, Other Real Estate Owned and Classified Assets

Collection Procedures. When a loan is more than 10 days delinquent, we generally contact the borrower by telephone to determine the reason for delinquency and arrange for payment, and accounts are monitored electronically for receipt of payments. We also send a computer-generated late notice on the tenth day after the payment due date on a commercial loan (the 15th day for a consumer or residential loan), which requests the payment due plus any late charge that is assessed. If payments are not received within 30 days of the original due date, a letter demanding payment of all arrearages is sent and contact efforts are continued. If payment is not received within 60 days of the due date, we accelerate loans and demand payment in full. Failure to pay within 90 days of the original due date may result in legal action, notwithstanding ongoing collection efforts. Unsecured consumer loans are charged-off between 90 to 120 days. For commercial loans, procedures with respect to demand letters and legal action may vary depending upon individual circumstances.

Loans Past Due and Nonperforming Assets. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis, and are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. As of December 31, 2009, we had no loans that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing. In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we believe that there is sufficient reason to question the borrower’s ability to continue to meet contractual principal or interest payment obligations. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are not recognized as income unless warranted based on the borrower’s financial condition and payment record.

Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When real estate is acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at its fair value, less estimated costs of disposal. If the fair value of the property is less than the loan balance, the difference is charged against the allowance for loan losses.

For all loans secured by real estate, carrying values in excess of net realizable value are charged off at or before the time foreclosure is completed or when settlement is reached with the borrower. If foreclosure is not pursued and there is no reasonable expectation for recovery, the account is charged off no later than the end of the month in which the account becomes six months contractually delinquent. For all secured and unsecured commercial business loans, loan balances are charged off at the time all or a portion of the balance is deemed uncollectible.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our loan portfolio delinquencies at the dates indicated.

Nonperforming Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. As of December 31, 2009, we had nine loans totaling $4.8 million that were considered troubled debt restructurings (where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we granted a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider). These loans consisted of four commercial real estate loans, construction and multi-family loans with outstanding balances totaling $4.1 million, three one- to four-family residential real estate loans with outstanding balances totaling $711,000, and two consumer loans with immaterial outstanding balances. We had no troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2008, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

The amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated to the $5.3 million of non-performing loans at December 31, 2009, noted above, was $400,000.

Classification of Assets. Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, questionable. Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention. As of December 31, 2009, we had $11.7 million of assets designated as special mention.

The allowance for loan losses represents amounts that have been established to recognize losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. When we classify problem assets as loss, we charge-off such amounts. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our loss allowances are subject to review by our regulatory agencies, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

The following table sets forth our amounts of classified assets and assets designated as special mention as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The classified assets total at December 31, 2009 includes $5.3 million of nonperforming loans.

At December 31, 2009, substandard assets consisted primarily of (i) 20 residential mortgage loans with a principal balance of $3.3 million, (ii) six commercial real estate loan relationships with principal balances totaling $3.2 million and (iii) four investment securities with a book value of $3.6 million and a par value of $5.4 million. The collateral for the commercial real estate loan relationships was valued at $5.4 million as of December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, special mention assets consisted primarily of (i) 11 residential mortgage loans with outstanding balances totaling $1.5 million and (ii) six commercial real estate loan relationships with outstanding balances totaling $9.9 million. The collateral for the commercial real estate loan relationships was valued at $14.5 million as of December 31, 2009. Included in the special mention commercial real estate loans are two relationships with outstanding balances totaling $8.3 million, and collateral valued at $12.0 million as of December 31, 2009. The investment securities are not considered in determining the provision or allowance for loan losses. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008—Provision for Loan Losses” and “—Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Allowance for Loan Losses. We provide for loan losses based on the allowance method. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the related allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and make provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. The allowance for loan losses consists of three components:

(1)	specific allowances established for (a) any impaired commercial real estate, commercial, construction and multi-family mortgage loans or (b) non-accrual residential real estate loans, in either case where the recorded investment in the loan exceeds the measured value of the loan;

(2)	general allowances for loan losses for each loan type based on historical loan loss experience; and

(3)	adjustments to historical loss experience (unallocated allowances), maintained to cover uncertainties that affect our estimate of probable losses for each loan type.

The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on our evaluation of several factors, including:

●	levels of, and trends in, charge-offs and recoveries;

●	national and local economic trends and conditions;

●	trends in volume and terms of loans, including any credit concentrations in the loan portfolio; and

●	experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

We evaluate the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific, historical loss and general components. Generally when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease.

We consider commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and construction loans to be riskier than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Commercial loans involve a higher risk of default than residential loans of like duration since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Commercial real estate loans also have greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy. Construction loans have greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing. The repayment of these loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. In the event we make an acquisition loan on property that is not yet approved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. These events may adversely affect the borrower and the collateral value of the property. Construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of loans and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, our regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available to them at the time of their examination.

For a discussion of how we determined the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008—Provisions for Loan Losses.”

Securities Activities

Our securities investment policy is established by our board of directors. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns, cash flow targets, and consistency with our interest rate risk management strategy. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, which consists of senior management, oversees our investing strategies. The board of directors reviews the Asset/Liability Management Committee’s activities and strategies, and evaluates on an ongoing basis our investment policy and objectives. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for making securities portfolio decisions in accordance with established policies. Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have the authority to purchase and sell securities within specific guidelines established by the investment policy. In addition, all transactions are reviewed by the Asset/Liability Management Committee at least monthly.

Our current investment policy generally permits securities investments in debt securities issued by the U.S. Government and U.S. Government agencies, municipal bonds, and corporate debt obligations, as well as investments in preferred and common stock of U.S. Government agencies and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Securities in these categories are classified as “investment securities” for financial reporting purposes. The policy also permits investments in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, as well as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued or backed by securities issued by these government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. Also permitted are investments in securities issued or backed by the Small Business Administration and mortgage-related mutual funds. As of December 31, 2009, we held no asset-backed securities (securities collateralized by automobile loans, credit card receivables and home equity loans), no preferred securities issued by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and no private-label mortgage backed securities. Our current investment strategy uses a risk management approach of diversified investing in fixed-rate securities with short- to intermediate-term maturities, as well as adjustable-rate securities, which may have a longer term to maturity. The emphasis of this approach is to increase overall investment securities yields, manage interest rate risk, ensure adequate liquidity for loan demand, deposit fluctuations and other changes to our balance sheet, and provide collateral for our long-term debt needs.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 320-10-25, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held to maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not have a trading portfolio.

Mortgage-Backed Securities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities in order to generate positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, lower credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae, and increased liquidity. We invest primarily in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. At December 31, 2009, our mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a fair value of $119.7 million, and consisted of pass-through securities.

In September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into conservatorship. The U.S. Treasury Department has established financing agreements to ensure that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae meet their obligations to holders of mortgage-backed securities that they have issued or guaranteed. These actions have not affected the markets for mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

Mortgage-backed securities are created by pooling mortgages and issuing a security collateralized by the pool of mortgages with an interest rate that is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although most of our mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by single-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities (government sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors, such as Colonial Bank, FSB, and guarantee the payment of principal and interest to these investors. Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments will be greater or lesser than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments, thereby affecting the net yield on such securities. We review prepayment estimates for our mortgage-backed securities at the time of purchase to ensure that prepayment assumptions are reasonable considering the underlying collateral for the securities at issue and current interest rates, and to determine the yield and estimated maturity of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

CMOs are types of debt securities issued by a special-purpose entity that aggregates pools of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities and creates different classes of securities with varying maturities and amortization schedules, as well as a residual interest, with each class possessing different risk characteristics. The cash flows from the underlying collateral are generally divided into “tranches” or classes that have descending priorities with respect to the distribution of principal and interest cash flows, while cash flows on pass-through mortgage-backed securities are distributed pro rata to all security holders. Our practice is to limit fixed-rate CMO investments primarily to the early-to-intermediate tranches, which have the greatest cash flow stability. Floating rate CMOs are purchased with emphasis on the relative trade-offs between lifetime interest rate caps, prepayment risk and interest rates.

Corporate Debt Securities and Municipal Bonds. At December 31, 2009, we held $16.0 million in corporate debt securities, at fair value, $10.7 million of which were classified as available for sale and $5.3 million of which were classified as held to maturity. At December 31, 2009, we held $36.0 million in bonds issued by states and political subdivisions, $33.2 million of which were classified as held to maturity at amortized cost and $2.8 million of which were classified as available for sale at fair value. Included in this total are bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes (all of which have terms of one year or less), issued by municipalities in the State of New Jersey. Although corporate debt securities and municipal bonds may offer a higher yield than a U.S. Treasury or agency security of comparable duration, these securities also have a higher risk of default due to adverse changes in the creditworthiness of the issuer. In recognition of this potential risk, we generally limit investments in corporate bonds to securities rated in one of the four highest categories by at least one nationally recognized rating agency, and to a total investment of no more than $1.0 million per issuer. We also generally limit investments in municipal bonds to issues that are insured unless the issuer is a local government entity within our service area. Such local entity obligations generally are not rated, and are subject to internal credit reviews. In, addition our investment policy imposes an investment limitation of $1.5 million per municipal bond and a limitation equal to our loan-to-one borrower limitation for bond anticipation notes and tax anticipation notes.

Equity Securities. At December 31, 2009, our equity securities consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York common stock and mutual funds. We hold the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York common stock to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York’s advance program. There is no market for the common stock, but it is the current practice of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to redeem shares at par value. The aggregate fair value of our Federal Home Loan Bank of New York common stock as of December 31, 2009 was $1.7 million based on its par value. No unrealized gains or losses have been recorded because the par value of the common stock represents its fair value. Our mutual funds consist solely of Shay Asset Management Funds. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we made a determination to write down this mutual fund for “other than temporary impairment.” We took an impairment charge (pre-tax) of $100,000 and $1.2 million during 2009 and 2008, respectively, based on the length of time the mutual fund was in a loss position and based on the fact that the mutual fund had not made any recovery during the recent reduction in interest rates.

U.S. Government Agency Securities. At December 31, 2009, we held U.S. government agency securities available for sale with a fair value of $29.1 million. Generally, these securities have short- to medium-term maturities (one to five years) and may have call or step-up features. While these securities generally provide lower yields than other investments such as mortgage-backed securities, our current investment strategy is to maintain investments in such instruments to the extent appropriate for liquidity purposes, as collateral for borrowings, and for prepayment protection.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. For the year ended December 31, 2009, due to a decline in the fair value of our investment in a mutual fund, we identified the impairment of this available-for-sale security as other than temporary and recorded a loss of $100,000 as a charge against operating results. Also, due to a downgrade by a credit rating agency to below investment grade, we identified the impairment of two held-to-maturity corporate debt obligations as other than temporary and recorded a loss of $815,000 as a charge against operating results. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2009 we identified the impairment of an available-for-sale corporate debt obligation as other than temporary and recorded the loss of $211,000 as a charge against operating results. The total other-than-temporary impairment taken in 2009 was all related to credit losses, and no bifurcation was done with respect to the impairment (i.e. all of the other-than-temporary impairment was recorded as a loss against operations, and not as a reduction in other comprehensive income). During the first quarter of 2010, we sold $1.7 million of the $3.0 million remaining principal balance of the three corporate debt obligations on which we recognized other-than-temporary impairment during 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, due to a decline in the fair value of our investment in a mutual fund, we took a pre-tax investment write down of $1.2 million for other-than-temporary impairment. Our decision was based on the length of time the mutual fund was in a loss position and based on the fact that the mutual fund had not made any recovery during recent changes in interest rates.

At December 31, 2009, we held seven available-for-sale securities that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months, and 18 available-for-sale securities that had been in a loss position for twelve months or more. Included in the seven securities in the less-than-twelve month position are (a) two corporate debt securities, one of which has been in a loss position for seven months and one of which has been in a loss position for one month; (b) three municipal debt securities, which have been in loss positions for two, three and 11 months, respectively; and (c) two mortgage-backed securities, both of which have been in a loss position for one month. Included in the 18 securities in the twelve-months-or-more position are (a) two corporate debt securities; (b) 13 SBA pools; and (c) three mortgage-backed securities.

At December 31, 2009, we had four held-to-maturity securities that had been in a loss position for less than twelve months, and one held-to-maturity security that had been in a loss position for twelve months or more. Included in the four securities in the less-than-twelve month position are (a) one corporate debt security which has been in a loss position for one month and (b) three municipal debt securities all of which have been in a loss position for three months. The one security that was in the more-than-twelve month position for the held-to-maturity was a municipal debt obligation.

As of December, 31, 2009 management believes that the estimated fair value of the securities noted above are primarily dependent on movements in market interest rates. These investment securities are comprised of securities that are rated investment grade by at least one bond credit rating service, pools of loans from the Small Business Administration and pools of loans from a government-sponsored enterprise. Management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature. We do not intend to sell or expect that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell these investment securities prior to an anticipated recovery in fair value. Accordingly, management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2009, represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The composition and maturities of the investment debt securities portfolio and the mortgage-backed securities portfolio at December 31, 2009 are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. State and municipal securities yields have been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis assuming an federal income tax rate of 34.0%. At December 31, 2009, the non-tax adjusted weighted average yield on total municipal securities was 2.61%.
