NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Customers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp”) is a Pennsylvania corporation formed on April 7, 2010 to facilitate the reorganization of Customers Bank (the “Bank) into a bank holding company structure.  Through June 30, 2011, the Bancorp has no operations and no assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows.  The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“USGAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting.  The Bancorp’s unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the results of interim periods presented.

NOTE 2 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Bancorp and the Bank entered into a Plan of Merger and Reorganization effective September 17, 2011 pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank were exchanged on a three to one basis for shares of common stock of the Bancorp (the “Reorganization”).  Every three shares of the Bank’s outstanding common stock or Non-Voting common stock were converted into one share of the Bancorp’s common stock or Non-Voting common stock. The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp.   The Bancorp is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 100,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In the Reorganization, the Bank’s issued and outstanding common stock of 22,525,825 shares and Class B Non-Voting common stock of 6,834,895 shares converted into 7,508,608 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock and 2,278,298 shares of the Bancorp’s Non-Voting common stock.   Outstanding warrants to purchase 1,410,732 shares of the Bank’s common stock with an weighted average exercise price of $3.55 per share and 243,102 shares of the Bank’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with an weighted average exercise price of $3.50 per share were converted into warrants to purchase 470,244 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.64 per share and warrants to purchase 81,034 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.50 per share.  Outstanding stock options to purchase 2,552,404 shares of the Bank’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.50 per share and stock options to purchase 231,500 shares of the Bank’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $4.00 per share were converted into stock options to purchase 857,468 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.49 per share and stock options to purchase 77,167 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $12.00 per share.

Berkshire Bancorp Acquisition

On September 17, 2011, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of Berkshire Bancorp, Inc. (BBI) and its subsidiary Berkshire Bank (collectively, Berkshire).  BBI serves Berks County, Pennsylvania through its five branches of its subsidiary Berkshire Bank.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of BBI common stock (a total of 4,051,068) was exchanged for 0.1534 shares of Customers Bancorp, Inc. common stock, resulting in the issuance of 621,611 shares of the Bancorp common stock.  In addition, the Bancorp exchanged each share of BBI’s shares of Series A Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred Shares to the U.S. Treasury for one share of the Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock for the issuance of 2,892 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 145 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a par value of $1.00 per share and a liquidation of $1,000 per share.  Cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are 5% per year and Series B Preferred Stock are 9%.   Upon the assumption of the Series A and B preferred shares, the Bancorp paid $218 of cumulative dividends to the Treasury previously unpaid.  The Bancorp’s next scheduled dividend payment for the Series A and B Preferred Stock will be November 2011.  The total purchase price was approximately $10.9 million.

NOTE 2 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS – (continued)

In addition, 774,571 warrants to purchase shares of BBI’s common stock were converted into warrants to purchase 118,853 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with exercise prices ranging from $21.38 to $68.82 per share.  The warrants were extended for a five year period and will expire on September 17, 2016.  BBI’s operating results will be included in the Bancorp’s financial results from the date of acquisition, September 17, 2011.  BBI had total assets of $137 million, total loans of $103 million, and total deposits of $119 million at June 30, 2011.   The Bancorp is in the process of obtaining the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to allocate the purchase price.

NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, providing additional guidance to creditors for evaluating troubled debt restructurings. The amendments clarify the guidance in ASC 310-40, Receivables: Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, which requires a creditor to classify a restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if (1) the restructuring includes a concession by the creditor to the borrower and (2) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The amended guidance requires a creditor to consider all aspects of the restructuring to determine whether it has granted a concession. It further clarifies that a creditor must consider the probability that a debtor could default in the foreseeable future when determining whether the debtor is facing financial difficulty, even though the debtor may not be in default at the date of restructuring. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and requires a company to retrospectively evaluate all restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption to determine if the restructuring is a TDR.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance.
In May 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance is the result of work by the FASB and IASB to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As a result, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, and early application by public entities is not permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bancorp’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance updating the requirements regarding the presentation of comprehensive income to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Under the new guidance, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income can be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the changes in stockholders’ equity. This amendment will be applied prospectively and the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bancorp’s financial statements.

CUSTOMERS BANK
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except for per share data)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This quarterly report presents the financial statements of Customers Bank (the “Bank”).  The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry.

The Bank’s unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, such as normal recurring accruals, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the results of interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 presented do not necessarily indicate the results that the Bank will achieve for all of 2011. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes that are presented in the financial statements for the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The financial information in this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with the Bank’s customary accounting practices. Certain information and footnote disclosures required under US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain amounts reported in the 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.  These reclassifications did not significantly impact Customers Bank’s financial position or results of operations.
The Bank evaluated its June 30, 2011 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Bank is not aware of any additional subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 – REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

Reorganization into Customers Bancorp, Inc.

Customers Bancorp, Inc. (the Bancorp) and the Bank entered into a Plan of Merger and Reorganization effective September 17, 2011 pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank were exchanged on a three to one basis for shares of common stock and Non-Voting common stock of the Bancorp. The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp (the “Reorganization”).  The Bancorp is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 100,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

In the Reorganization, the Bank’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock of 22,525,825 shares and Class B Non-Voting common stock of 6,834,895 shares converted into 7,508,608 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock and 2,278,298 shares of the Bancorp’s Non-Voting common stock.   Outstanding warrants to purchase 1,410,732 shares of the Bank’s common stock with an weighted average exercise price of $3.55 per share and 243,102 shares of the Bank’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with an weighted average exercise price of $3.50 per share were converted into warrants to purchase 470,244 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.64 per share and warrants to purchase 81,034 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.50 per share.  Outstanding stock options to purchase 2,572,404 shares of the Bank’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $3.50 per share and stock options to purchase 231,500 shares of the Bank’s the Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $4.00 per share were converted into stock options to purchase 857,468 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $10.49 per share and stock options to purchase 77,167 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $12.00 per share.

NOTE 2 – REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY (continued)

Berkshire Bancorp Acquisition

On September 17, 2011, the Bancorp completed its acquisition of Berkshire Bancorp, Inc. (“BBI”) and its subsidiary Berkshire Bank (collectively, “Berkshire”).  BBI served Berks County, Pennsylvania through the five branches of its subsidiary, Berkshire Bank.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of BBI common stock (a total of 4,051,068) was exchanged for 0.1534 shares of the Bancorp common stock, resulting in the issuance of 621,611 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock.  In addition, the Bancorp exchanged each share of BBI’s shares of Series A Preferred Securities and Series B Preferred Shares to the U.S. Treasury for one share of the Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for the issuance of 2,892 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 145 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a par value of $1.00 per share with a liquidation of $1,000 per share.  Cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are 5% per year and Series B Preferred Stock are 9%. Upon the assumption of the Series A and B preferred shares, the Bancorp paid $218 of cumulative dividends to the Treasury previously unpaid.  The Bancorp’s next scheduled dividend payment for the Series A and B Preferred Stock will be November 2011.  The total purchase price was approximately $10.9 million.

In addition, 774,571 warrants to purchase shares of BBI common stock were converted into warrants to purchase 118,853 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $21.38 to $68.82 per share.  The warrants were extended for a five year period and will expire on September 17, 2016.  BBI’s operating results will be included in the Bancorp’s financial results from the date of acquisition, September 17, 2011.   BBI had total assets of approximately $137 million, total loans of $103 million, and total deposits of $119 million at June 30, 2011.   The Bancorp is in the process of obtaining the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities to allocate the purchase price.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings(loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if (i) options to purchase common stock were exercised and (ii) warrants to purchase common stock were exercised.  Potential common shares that may be issued related to outstanding stock options are determined using the treasury stock method. The following are the components of the Bank’s earnings (loss) per share for the periods presented:

Stock options outstanding for 1,870,140 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.25 per share and warrants to purchase 1,541,783 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $3.76 to $5.50 per share for the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 were not dilutive due to losses.

At June 30, 2011, there were eight available for sale investment securities in the less than twelve month category and six available for sale investment securities in the twelve month or more category. At December 31, 2010, there were thirty-three available-for-sale investment securities in the less than twelve month category and six available for sale investment securities in the twelve month or more category. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect primarily changes in interest rates, such as but not limited to changes in economic conditions and the liquidity of the market, subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. The Bank does not intend to sell. In addition, the Bank does not believe that it will be more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the securities prior to maturity or market price recovery.

The non-covered manufactured housing portfolio was purchased in August 2010.  A portion of the purchase price may be used to reimburse the Bank under the specified terms in the Purchase Agreement for defaults of the underlying borrower and other specified items.  At June 30, 2011, funds available for reimbursement, if necessary, are $8,181.   Each quarter, these funds are evaluated to determine if they would be sufficient to absorb probable losses within the manufactured housing portfolio.

NOTE 5 – LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

FDIC Loss Sharing Receivable
Prospective losses incurred on Covered Loans are eligible for partial reimbursement by the FDIC. Subsequent decreases in the amount expected to be collected result in a provision for loan and lease losses, an increase in the allowance for loan losses, and a proportional adjustment to the FDIC loss sharing receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed. Subsequent increases in the amount expected to be collected result in the reversal of any previously-recorded provision for loan and lease losses and related allowance for loan and lease losses and adjustments to the FDIC loss sharing receivable, or accretion of certain fair value amounts into interest income in future periods if no provision for loan and lease losses had been recorded.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the FDIC loss sharing receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

In September 2011, the Bank received a reimbursement from the FDIC of $1,105.

NOTE 6 – BORROWINGS

During the second quarter 2011, the Bank entered into agreements to sell securities under agreements to repurchase for up to $400 million in total borrowings. The agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the balance sheet. The amount of the mortgage-backed securities underlying the agreements continues to be carried in the Bank's investment securities portfolio. The Bank has agreed to repurchase securities identical to those sold. The securities underlying the agreements are under the Bank’s control.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank has $125,000 outstanding at an average rate of 0.30%.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank sold 3,095,000 shares of common stock and 1,026,500 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock at $4.00 per share and 2,593,571shares of common stock and 501,429 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to the Bank’s Lead Investors at $3.50 per share.  The proceeds, net of offering costs were $15,527.

NOTE 8 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Option Plan
Stock-based compensation expense of $278 and $92 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested stock options was approximately $2,399 at June 30, 2011, and is expected to be recognized over a period of 4.00 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Bank granted to employees options to purchase 543,223 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The stock options vest over the next five anniversaries from the date of grant. The estimated fair value of the stock options granted using the following weighted average assumptions of a Black-Scholes option pricing: risk-free interest rate was 2.05%; an expected dividend yield 0%; an expected volatility was 20% and an expected life of seven years. The weighted average fair value of the options granted was estimated to be $1.33 per share.

The Bank granted restricted stock units to purchase 106,876 shares of common stock on February 17, 2011. These awards vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock units granted on February 17, 2011 was $4.00 per share. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units was approximately $374 at June 30, 2011 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.87 years.  Stock-based compensation expense of $51 was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. There were no grants of restricted stock units in the first six months of 2010.

NOTE 10 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.  The Bank’s capital amounts and ratios at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are presented below:

NOTE 11 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments.  FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Bank, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Bank utilized certain fair value measurement criteria under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , as explained below.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

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

Investment Securities:
The fair value of investment securities available-for-sale and held–to-maturity 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.

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

(Dollars in thousands except for per share data)


NOTE 11 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Loans held for sale:
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.

Loans receivable:
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:
Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC 450, Contingencies , 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.
FDIC loss sharing receivable:
The FDIC loss sharing receivable is measured separately from the related covered assets, as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable with the assets should the assets be sold. Fair value was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses using the applicable loss share percentages and the estimated true-up payment. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the estimated timing of the receipt of the loss share reimbursement from the FDIC.
Accrued interest receivable and payable:
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities:
The fair values disclosed for 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.

Borrowings :
The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.  Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB 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.

Subordinated debt :

Fair values of subordinated debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates currently offered on such debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments :

Fair values for the Bank’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.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, focusing on an exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.  In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment.  The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

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 level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The above information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Bank since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Bank’s assets.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Bank’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.


NOTE 12 - LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

On November 15, 2010, the Bank filed suit against Open Solutions, Inc. (“OSI”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking damages for failure to assist in the conversion of system and customer information associated with the former USA Bank and requesting injunctive relief to compel OSI to assist with the deconversion of the former USA Bank's systems. OSI filed counterclaims against the Bank on November 24, 2010, asserting claims for breach of contract and breach of settlement agreement. In support of its breach of contract claim, OSI alleged that the Bank "assumed" the former-USA Bank agreements and is bound by those agreements. OSI claimed that it has sustained damages in excess of $1 million. the Bank disputed that it has any liability to OSI. Prior to trial, OSI dismissed with prejudice its settlement agreement claim.  Trial was held on February 24, 2011.

NOTE 12 - LEGAL CONTINGENCIES

On March 7, 2011, the Court ruled against the Bank and in favor of OSI as follows: judgment was entered against the Bank on OSI's claim that the agreements between OSI and USA Bank were assumed by the Bank and judgment was entered against the on its claims against OSI; judgment was entered for OSI on its breach of contract claim under one agreement, in the amount of $104 thousand; the Court found there was no breach of the second agreement by the Bank and no proof of damages.  OSI filed a motion for payment of legal fees and costs associated with the litigation, which are estimated to be around $205,000.  The Bank filed a motion with the District Court to vacate the judgment and to enter judgment in favor of the Bank on OSI's counterclaim.  In addition, the FDIC filed a motion to intervene in the litigation, and has also sought dismissal of OSI's counterclaims on jurisdictional grounds.  On May 3, 2011, the Court granted the FDIC's motion to intervene, and directed that OSI respond to the motion to dismiss the counterclaim.  On August 9, 2011, the District Court granted the FDIC's motion to dismiss and vacated the judgment entered against the Bank.  The Court denied the Bank's post-trial motion as moot because of the Court's vacatur of the judgment.  On September 2, 2011, OSI filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in which OSI appeals from the Court’s August 9, 2011 Order granting the FDIC’s motion to dismiss.  The Third Circuit has not yet set a schedule for briefing or argument.
NOTE 13 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, providing additional guidance to creditors for evaluating troubled debt restructurings. The amendments clarify the guidance in ASC 310-40, Receivables: Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, which requires a creditor to classify a restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if: (1) the restructuring includes a concession by the creditor to the borrower, and, (2) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The amended guidance requires a creditor to consider all aspects of the restructuring to determine whether it has granted a concession. It further clarifies that a creditor must consider the probability that a debtor could default in the foreseeable future when determining whether the debtor is facing financial difficulty, even though the debtor may not be in default at the date of restructuring. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and requires a company to retrospectively evaluate all restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption to determine if the restructuring is a TDR.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new accounting guidance.
In May 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance is the result of work by the FASB and IASB to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As a result, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, and early application by public entities is not permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance updating the requirements regarding the presentation of comprehensive income to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Under the new guidance, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income can be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the changes in stockholders’ equity. This amendment will be applied prospectively and the amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report and all attachments hereto as well as other written or oral communications made from time to time by the Bancorp and the Bank may contain certain forward-looking information within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including events or predictions relating to future financial performance, and are generally identifiable by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties .  These forward-looking statements are only predictions and estimates regarding future events and circumstances and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  This information is based on various assumptions that may not prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Bancorp and the Bank.  Although the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are currently believed to be reasonable, future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements cannot be guaranteed.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will meet expectations or will not be materially lower than the results contemplated in this report and attachments hereto.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of documents referred to, the dates of those documents.  Neither the Bancorp nor the Bank undertakes any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable law.
Through June 30, 2011, the Bancorp had no operations and no assets, liabilities, equity or cash flows.  Therefore, no discussion or analysis will be provided with respect to financial condition and results of operations for the Bancorp.

Instead, the following management discussion analysis is provided supplementally for Customers Bank’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and asset quality. This information is intended to facilitate your understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011. You should read this section in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Registration Statement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Bank has adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and that are consistent with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of its financial statements.  The Bank’s significant accounting policies are described in footnote 1 to its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by the Bank that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.  The Bank considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies.  The judgment and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions management makes, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of its assets and liabilities and its results of operations. Actual results could differ from these estimates. There have been no material changes in the Bank’s critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to those disclosed in the Bancorp’s Registration Statement.

Results of Operations

Second quarter 2011 to second quarter 2010

The Bank had a net income of $145,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net income of $430,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.02 per share when compared to the same period in 2011.

Net interest income was $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $5.3 million or 145.4%.  Interest income on loans, investments and interest earning deposits was $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $5.8 million in the same period of 2010, an increase of $8.9 million or 155.4%.   Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds was $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.7 million or 172.6%, when compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2010.   Average interest earning assets for 2011 increased $947.6 million from June 30, 2010 as the yield on interest earning assets decreased 7 basis points to 3.84% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 3.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

37



Average interest earning deposits decreased to $119.2 million or 7.7% of total interest earning assets when compared to $380.5 million or approximately 27.0% of total interest earning assets during the first quarter 2011 and $90.4 million or 15.3% of total interest earning assets at June 30, 2010.  Average loans increased $57.1 million and average investments increased $332.4 million during the second quarter 2011.  The Bank continues to identify avenues with limited credit risk, to redeploy the interest earning cash into higher yielding assets.  During the first quarter 2011, approximately $400 million of US government agency CMOs were purchased using the excess cash held in the interest earning cash accounts.  This strategy coupled with growth in loans and deposit accounts is intended to boost the net interest margin back to a more normalized level.  Average interest earning assets increased approximately $80.0 million from the mortgage warehouse loan portfolio, $99.6 million from the manufactured housing loans purchased in August 2010, $552.8 million in investment securities and $141.0 million from the two FDIC acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2010. The Bank continues to evaluate its short term strategies to enhance earnings, and the implementation of the five strategies that commenced in the first quarter of 2011.  These strategies are to grow the mortgage warehouse lending business, deploy excess cash from the deposit growth into investments and loans portfolios, reduce the costs of deposits, improve asset quality through aggressive management of stressed assets and to successfully integrate the Berkshire acquisition.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $849.0 million to $1.34 billion at June 30, 2011 while the interest paid on these liabilities remained flat at 1.74% for the quarter.  Average interest bearing liabilities increased approximately $894.8 million from the 4 de novo branches opened during the second half of 2010, one de novo branch opened in January 2011 and approximately $149.2 million from the two FDIC acquisitions in the third quarter of 2010.     The cost of funds for the interest bearing liabilities remained relatively flat at 1.63% in the second quarter of 2011.
The key measure of the Bank’s net interest income is its net interest margin.  The Bank’s net interest margin increased 52 basis points during the second quarter to 2.33% from 1.81% for the first quarter 2011.  The net interest margin decreased 45 basis points to 2.33% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.78% in the same period of 2010.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the change in interest earning assets including a concentration of loans with a yield 4.83% in 2010 (73% of total average interest earning assets) to a more significant concentration of interest earning assets in interest earning deposits at a yield of 0.25% and investments in 2011.  Approximately, 47% of the total average interest earning assets have lower rates than the interest earning assets in 2010.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Bank has established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged as an expense on the statement of operations.  The loan portfolio is reviewed and evaluated on a quarterly basis to evaluate the outstanding loans and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.   Approximately, 21% of the loan portfolio is covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC.  Charge-offs incurred above the original estimated value are taken as additional provisions and a corresponding receivable due from the FDIC is recorded through non-interest income for the portion anticipated to be recovered under the loss sharing agreements.

The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.8 million from $1.1 million in the same period of 2010.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in non-performing loans, charge-offs of problem loans and the declining value of real estate in the Bank’s market area.  Increased charge-off levels were recorded in the second quarter of 2011 for five loan relationships that were 87% of the total charge-off in the second quarter.  These charge-offs were recorded at the time management determined through its exhaustive loan workout process that the loans were not collectible and cash flows were not available from the borrower, however, the effort to recover the balances will continue.  For more information about the Bank’s provision and allowance for loan and lease losses and the Bank’s loss experience see “Credit Risk” and “Asset Quality” on pages 46 and 47.

Non-interest income was $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $1.0 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase is primarily due to the $730,000 increase in mortgage warehouse transaction fees to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $547,000 in the same period in 2010 due to increased volumes from both new and existing customers.  Additionally, the Bank had adjustments of $800,000 related to the FDIC loss sharing receivable during the second quarter 2011 as a result of the specific provision for loan losses recorded on covered loans.
Service fees represent a significant component of non-interest income and were $138,000 in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $60,000 from the same period in 2010.  The Bank sold $98.1 million of investment securities in the second quarter 2010 for a gain of $774,000. The gains in 2010 were primarily due to the sales of US agency, municipal and mortgage-backed securities.   The Bank has not sold any securities during 2011.

Bank owned life insurance income increased $185,000 to $243,000 as a result of the additional purchase of $20 million of BOLI in December 2010.

Non-interest expense was $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $4.8 million from $3.6 million for the same period in 2010.    Salaries and employee benefits represent the largest component of non-interest expense and were $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2010, an increase of $2.1 million.   The increase was due to sixty-one additional full time equivalents since the second quarter of 2010 for approximately $1.5 million of additional salaries and benefits during the quarter.  In addition, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expense were $667,000 in the second quarter 2011 compared to $125,000 in the second quarter 2010 due to additional stock options and restricted stock unit grants during second half of 2010 and February 2011.
39


Occupancy expense increased $431,000 from $325,000 in 2010 to $756,000 in 2011.  The increase was related to six additional branches opened or acquired during the period to support the growth of the Bank.  Technology, communications and bank operations expense was $820,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $467,000 or 132.2% over the $353,000 in the same period of 2010 due to the expanding branch network and additional network support for the opening of the six new branches and the executive offices in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
Expenses related to professional services increased to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $328,000 in the same period of 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to legal expenses related to regulatory filings and litigation with a vendor from one of the acquired banks.
FDIC assessments, taxes and regulatory fees increased 26.8% or $91,000 to $430,000 in the second quarter of 2011 from $339,000 in the second quarter of 2010.  This increase is attributable to the Pennsylvania shares tax increase of $108,000 in 2011 due to increased asset size.
Loan workout and other real estate owned (OREO) expenses increased by $234,000 to $390,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $156,000 in the same period of 2010.    No impairment charges were recorded in the second quarter 2010 and $66,000 were recorded on five OREO properties in the first quarter 2011.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank had 23 properties identified as OREO, of which 14 are covered under loss sharing agreements wherein 80% of the costs to maintain the property are reimbursable from the FDIC under the terms of the loss sharing agreements. Under the loss sharing agreements, the Bank records a portion of these losses and expenses in the income statement (generally 20%) and the Bank adds the remaining 80% to the FDIC loss sharing receivable.   Loan workout expenses increased due to increased volume of non-performing assets; however, 80% of loan workout expenses related to covered loans are reimbursed by the FDIC.
Other expenses increased by $465,000 to $567,000 in the second quarter of 2011 from $102,000 in the second quarter of 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to increases in director fees, loan insurance, office supplies for the additional offices and acquired banks, business development and other miscellaneous expenses.
INCOME TAXES

The income tax expense was $65,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.   An income tax benefit was not provided in 2010 due to the valuation allowance that was maintained by the Bank through the third quarter of 2010.   Based upon the estimated taxable income generated from the two acquisitions, a valuation allowance was no longer considered necessary in 2010.  Management periodically evaluates its income tax position to confirm that there is sufficient taxable income to absorb losses.  Should sufficient taxable income not be available to absorb the tax loss, a valuation allowance may be required at a future date.

Net interest income was $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $9.3 million or 156.9%.  Interest income on loans, investments and interest earning deposits was $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $9.7 million in the same period of 2010, an increase of $16.9 million or 174.3%.   Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds was $11.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $7.6 million or 156.9%, from $3.8 million for the same period in 2010.   Average interest earning assets increased $983.5 million at June 30, 2011 as the yield on interest earning assets decreased 35 basis points to 3.63% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 3.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Average interest earning assets increased $983.5 to $1.48 billion at June 30, 2011 from $492.0 million at June 30, 2010.  Average interest earning deposits increased to $249.1 million or approximately 16.9% of total interest earning assets at June 30, 2011 compared to 0.8% at June 30, 2010.  Average loans increased $130.7 million from mortgage warehouse loan portfolio and $100.9 million from the manufactured housing loans purchased in August 2010 and $141.0 million from the two FDIC acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2010 were additional increases during period.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.07 billion to $897.7 million at June 30, 2011 while the interest paid on these liabilities decreased 11 basis points due to reduced rates on money market accounts of 29 basis points offset by a slight increase in other interest bearing acounts.   The cost of funds for the interest bearing liabilities decreased 11 basis points to 1.75% in the second quarter of 2011 from 1.86% in the second quarter of 2010 due to the change in deposit products and rates of time deposits and money market accounts.
The key measure of the Bank’s net interest income is its net interest margin.  The Bank’s net interest margin decreased 64 basis points to 2.08% in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 2.72% in the same period of 2010.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the change in interest earning assets from a concentration of loan and investments in 2010 to interest earning deposits in 2011 which have substantially lower rates.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $178,000 from $5.5 million in the same period of 2010.  For more information about the provision and allowance for loan and lease losses and the loss experience see “Credit Risk” and “Asset Quality” on pages 46 and 47.

The Bank recorded the loans covered under loss sharing agreements (collectively covered loans) at fair value at the time of each acquisition and no specific allowance for loan losses has been allocated to the covered loans as there has not been significant deterioration since the acquisition dates.   The Bank evaluated the adequacy of the credit (non-accretable) discounts on the covered loans and we determined that no specific provision for loan losses on the covered loans was required for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Non-interest income was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.5 million from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This increase is primarily due to the $1.89 million in mortgage warehouse transaction fees for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $703,000 in 2010.  Additionally, the Bank had adjustments of $1.7 million related to the FDIC loss sharing receivable during the first half of 2011 as a result of the FDIC reimbursable portion of the provision for loan losses on covered loans.
Service fees were $307,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $101,000 from the same period in 2010.  The Bank sold $130.5 million of investment securities in the first half of 2010 for a gain of $1.1 million. The gains in 2010 were primarily due to the sales of US agency, municipal and mortgage-backed securities.   The Bank has not sold any investment securities during 2011.  Bank owned life insurance income increased $748,000 due to an additional purchase of $20 million of BOLI in December 2010 and $328,000 from the death of a former officer of the Bank covered under the policies.  Other non-interest income increased $243,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Occupancy expense increased $854,000 from $633,000 in 2010 to $1.5 million in 2011 related to six additional branches to support the growth of the Bank.  Technology, communications and bank operations expense was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $760,000 or 107.0% over the $710,000 in the same period of 2010 due to the expanded branch network and additional network support for the opening of the six new branches and executive offices in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Expenses related to professional services increased to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 from $698,000 in the same period of 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to legal expenses related to regulatory filings and ongoing litigation with a vendor from one of the acquired banks.  FDIC assessments, taxes and regulatory fees increased 103.7% or $638,000 to $1.3 million in the first half of 2011 from $615,000 in the first half of 2010.  Loan workout and other real estate owned (OREO) expenses increased to $862,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $643,000 in the same period of 2010.
Other expenses increased by $884,000 to $1.2 million in the first half of 2011 from $297,000 in the first half of 2010.  This increase was primarily attributable to increases in director fees, office supplies for the additional offices and acquired banks, business development and other miscellaneous expenses.

INCOME TAXES
The income tax benefit is $631,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.   An income tax benefit was not provided for in 2010 due to the valuation allowance that was maintained by the Bank through the third quarter of 2010.   Based upon the estimated taxable income generated from the two acquisitions, a valuation allowance was no longer considered necessary in 2010.  Management periodically evaluates its income tax position to confirm that there is sufficient taxable income to absorb losses, if sufficient taxable income is not available to absorb the tax loss, a valuation allowance may be required at a future date.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

GENERAL

The Bank’s total assets were $1.69 billion at June 30, 2011, a $319.8 million or 23.3% increase from the $1.37 billion at December 31, 2010.    The increase in investment securities classified as held–to-maturity of $381.8 million were funded by interest earning deposit accounts and increased deposit and borrowing activity. The Bank’s total liabilities were $1.57 billion at June 30, 2011, an increase of $301.5 million or 23.8% from $1.27 billion at December 31, 2010.   This increase is related to the increase in money market and certificates of deposit accounts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $137.0 million or 57.4% to $101.7 million at June 30, 2011.  Cash and cash equivalents consisted mainly of interest bearing balances at the Federal Reserve Bank; federal funds sold and vault cash and cash items in the process of collection.  The decrease is related to the Bank’s cash management strategy to redeploy the Bank’s interest earning deposits into higher interest earning assets, including investment securities or loan products under the current credit policies of the Bank.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Bank’s investment securities portfolio is an important source of interest income and liquidity.  It consists of U.S. Treasury, government agency and mortgage-backed securities (guaranteed by an agency of the United States government and non-agency not guaranteed), municipal securities, domestic corporate debt, and asset-backed securities.  In addition to generating revenue, the Bank maintains the investment portfolio to manage interest rate risk, provide liquidity, provide collateral for other borrowings and diversify the credit risk of earning assets.  The portfolio is structured to maximize net interest income, given changes in the economic environment, liquidity position and balance sheet mix.
At June 30, 2011, the Bank has investment securities of $251.3 million classified as available for sale (AFS) and $381.8 million classified as held-to-maturity.  This represents an increase of $45.4 million or 22.1% in the available for sale classification from $205.8 million at December 31, 2010.  During the first quarter, the Bank purchased $396.8 million of mortgaged-backed securities classified as held-to-maturity.

LOANS

Existing lending relationships are primarily with small businesses and individual consumers primarily in Bucks, Berks, Chester, Montgomery and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania; Camden and Mercer Counties, New Jersey; and Westchester County, New York and to a lesser extent in the surrounding markets.  The loan portfolio is primarily comprised of commercial real estate, construction and development, and commercial and industrial loans. In addition, we have a mortgage warehouse product line that provides financing to mortgage companies from the time of the home purchase or refinancing of a mortgage loan through the sale of the loan by the mortgage originator into the secondary market either through a repurchase facility or the purchase of the underlying mortgages.   Loans that are purchased are classified as held for sale.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, mortgage warehouse loans held for sale were $175.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively.   In July and September 2010, the Bank purchased an aggregate of $171.1 million of loans where substantially all the loans are covered under loss sharing arrangements with the FDIC (referred to as “covered loans” within the discussion).

Loans not covered under FDIC loss sharing arrangements grew to $576.9 million at June 30, 2011, an increase of $62.9 million or 12.2%, from $514.1 million at December 31, 2010.  The growth of the loan portfolio was in the warehouse lending facilities of $49.3 million and commercial real estate and commercial industrial loans increased $11.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively.

(a)
Covered loans receivable acquired from the former USA Bank and ISN Bank are covered under FDIC loss sharing agreements over a five to ten year period, depending on the type of loan.

The commercial and construction credit loan relationships are monitored on a periodic basis to evaluate the cash flows available for the repayment of loans.  Management emphasizes loan quality and close monitoring of potential problem credits. Credit risk identification and review processes are utilized to assess and monitor the degree of risk in the loan portfolio.  The lending and credit administration groups are charged with reviewing the loan portfolio and identifying changes in the economy or in a borrower’s circumstances which may affect (i) the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, or (ii) the underlying value of the pledged collateral.  As a mortgage warehouse lender, the Bank provides a form of financing to mortgage bankers by purchasing for resale the underlying residential mortgages on a short-term basis under a master repurchase agreement.  The Bank is subject to the risks associated with such lending, including, but not limited to, the risks of fraud, bankruptcy and default of the underlying residential borrower, any of which could result in credit losses.  The mortgage warehouse lending division monitors these mortgage bankers and the underlying residential borrowers by obtaining financial and other relevant information to reduce these risks during the lending period. Covered loans are monitored and evaluated in the same manner to address the provision of the loss sharing arrangements with the FDIC.
45


As is typical with most community banks, the Bank had a high concentration (92.2%) of its total loan portfolio secured by real estate at June 30, 2011. Construction and commercial real estate represents 38.4% of the loan portfolio (by collateral type) The Bank’s exposure in construction loans has been gradually winding down and represented 1.9% of the non-covered loan portfolio and 6.6% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2011. It is in the construction and commercial real estate secured portion of the loan portfolio that the Bank is experiencing the most difficulty with delinquent and non-accrual loans. Although the Bank believes that it has identified and appropriately allocated reserves against the riskiest of the loans in construction and commercial real estate, the possibility of further deterioration before the real estate market turns around presents the opportunity for increased allocations of the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL) in that area in the future.

Other than the concentrations already addressed in warehouse lending, construction and commercial real estate, the Bank has no large exposures in other risky industries such as restaurants, home heating oil businesses or other industries that are typical viewed as high risk.
CREDIT RISK

The Bank manages credit risk by maintaining diversification in its loan portfolio, by establishing and enforcing rigorous underwriting standards, by intensive collection efforts and by establishing and performing periodic loan classification reviews by management.  Management also attempts to anticipate and allow for credit risks by maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses, to which credit losses are charged when they are identified and to which provisions are added when they are anticipated to be incurred.  The ALLL is evaluated periodically as management and the board of directors deem appropriate. Upon the acquisition of the loans from USA Bank and ISN Bank in 2010, the Bank has implemented a process to evaluate the credit quality of the loans acquired.  This credit evaluation process resulted in a nonaccretable discount for loans where there were credit concerns that that the contractual payments at the acquisition date would not be repaid.  The nonaccretable credit discount is evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine if the credit quality of the acquired loans has changed.  If circumstances after the acquisition date cause credit to weaken, an additional allowance for loan loss will be provided.  As an alternative, if the credit quality improves over the loan term, the nonaccretable credit discount is reallocated to the accretable discount and is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.


The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $5.7 million and $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses was $13.9 million or 2.42% of total non-covered loans at June 30, 2011 and $15.1 million, or 2.94% of total non-covered loans, at December 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs were $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $3.6 million compared to the $3.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2010.  Charge-offs of $5.1 million taken in the second quarter are from five loan relationships of which four commercial real estate and one commercial and industrial loan were charged off after exhaustive workout efforts.  These loans were reserved for during previous periods and upon further analysis were determined to be uncollectible in the second quarter.

The chart below depicts the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

The Bank seeks to manage its credit risk through the diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies and procedures designed to foster sound credit standards and monitoring practices.  While various degrees of credit risk are associated with substantially all investing activities, the lending function carries the greatest degree of potential loss.

Covered non-accrual loans increased by $4.6 million which included commercial real estate loans totaling $4.1 million and construction loans totaling $1.2 million during the second quarter offset by $700,000 of charge offs related to the covered loan portfolio.

FDIC LOSS SHARING RECEIVABLE
As of June 30, 2011, 21% of the outstanding principal balance of loans receivable and 51% of other real estate assets were covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC in which the FDIC has agreed to reimburse us for 80% of all losses incurred in connection with those assets.  We estimated the FDIC reimbursement that will result from losses or expenses incurred as we dispose of covered loans and other real estate assets, and we recorded the estimate as a receivable from the FDIC.  The FDIC loss sharing receivable was approximately $12.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Realized losses in excess of acquisition date estimates will result in an increase in the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements.  Conversely, if realized losses are less than acquisition date estimates, the FDIC loss sharing receivable will be reduced.  The discount on the FDIC receivable is accreted into noninterest income using the level yield method over the estimated life of the receivable, including estimates of the timing of cash flow receipts and the disposition of non-performing assets.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT AND OTHER ASSETS

The Bank’s premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, was $5.2 million and $5.3 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
The Bank has fourteen real estate properties totaling $3.0 million covered under loss sharing arrangements with the FDIC and nine properties totaling $2.9 million acquired through the foreclosure of non-covered loans.
Other assets increased $10.3 million to $21.4 million at June 30, 2011 from $11.1 million at December 31, 2010.  The Bank’s restricted stock holdings at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $14.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.  These consist of stock of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank, and are required as part of the relationship with these banks.
DEPOSITS

The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts, including checking, savings, money market and time deposits.  Deposits are obtained primarily from the Bank’s service area.  Total deposits grew to $1.41 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.25 billion at December 31, 2010, an increase of $160.1 million. As a result of marketing and pricing strategies instituted in 2010, the increase in deposit balances is from retail money market accounts of $68.6 million and retail time deposits of $116.9 million, offset by a decrease in brokered deposit balances of $46.0 million.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Stockholders’ equity increased to $123.4 million at June 30, 2011 from $105.1 million at December 31, 2010, a $14.1 million increase.  During the first quarter of 2011, the Bank raised approximately $15.5 million through the issuance of 4,166,679 total shares, which included 1,527,929 shares of Common Stock and 2,638,750 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock at an average price of $3.87 per share.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements that are monitored by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can lead to supervisory actions by regulators; any supervisory action could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Management believes that as of June 30, 2011, Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The capital ratios for the Bank at June 30, 2011 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity for a financial institution is a measure of that institution’s ability to meet depositors’ needs for funds, to satisfy or fund loan commitments, and for other operating purposes.  Ensuring adequate liquidity is an objective of the Asset/Liability Management process.  The Bank coordinates its management of liquidity with its interest rate sensitivity and capital position.  The Bank’s policy is to maintain a strong liquidity position.

The Bank’s investment portfolio provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization, and can be used as collateral to secure additional liquidity funding.  The Bank’s principal sources of funds are shareholder capital, deposits, debt issuance, principal and interest payments on loans, and other funds from operations.

The Bank’s operating activities provided $25.0 million of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011.   Investing activities used $479.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily for the purchase of held-to-maturity investment securities and funding of the Bank’s new loan activity.  Financing activities provided $317.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the increase of deposit activity of approximately $160.7 million and the completion of common stock offerings with net proceeds of approximately $15.5 million.

Overall, based on the Bank’s core deposit base and available sources of borrowed funds, management believes that Customers Bank has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term cash requirements within the foreseeable future.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                      Legal Proceedings

On November 15, 2010, Customers Bank (the “Bank”)  filed suit against Open Solutions, Inc. (“OSI”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking damages for failure to assist in the conversion of system and customer information associated with the former USA Bank and requesting injunctive relief to compel OSI to assist with the deconversion of the former USA Bank's systems. OSI filed counterclaims against the Bank on November 24, 2010, asserting claims for breach of contract and breach of settlement agreement. In support of its breach of contract claim, OSI alleged that the Bank "assumed" the former-USA Bank agreements and is bound by those agreements. OSI claimed that it has sustained damages in excess of $1 million. the Bank disputed that it has any liability to OSI. Prior to trial, OSI dismissed with prejudice its settlement agreement claim.  Trial was held on February 24, 2011.  On March 7, 2011, the Court ruled against the Bank and in favor of OSI as follows: judgment was entered against the Bank on OSI's claim that the agreements between OSI and USA Bank were assumed by the Bank and judgment was entered against the Bank on its claims against OSI; judgment was entered for OSI on its breach of contract claim under one agreement, in the amount of $104 thousand; the Court found there was no breach of the second agreement by the Bank and no proof of damages.  OSI filed a motion for payment of legal fees and costs associated with the litigation, which are estimated to be around $205,000.  the Bank filed a motion with the District Court to vacate the judgment and to enter judgment in favor of the Bank on OSI's counterclaim.  In addition, the FDIC filed a motion to intervene in the litigation, and has also sought dismissal of OSI's counterclaims on jurisdictional grounds.  On May 3, 2011, the Court granted the FDIC's motion to intervene, and directed that OSI respond to the motion to dismiss the counterclaim.  On August 9, 2011, the District Court granted the FDIC's motion to dismiss and vacated the judgment entered against the Bank.  The Court denied the Bank' post-trial motion as moot because of the Court's vacatur of the judgment.  On September 2, 2011, OSI filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in which OSI appeals from the Court’s August 9, 2011 Order granting the FDIC’s motion to dismiss.  The Third Circuit has not yet set a schedule for briefing or argument.
