FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fulton Financial Corporation (the Corporation) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 . The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Recent Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Update 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASC Update 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations, including a change in the definition of what constitutes the disposal of a component and additional disclosure requirements. For public business entities ASC Update 2014-08 is effective for disposals that occur within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2015 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The adoption of ASC Update 2014-08 is not expected to have an impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This standards update provides a framework that replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle prescribed by this standards update is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC Update 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2017 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASC Update 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-11, "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures." In addition to new disclosure requirements, ASC Update 2014-11 requires that all repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings rather than as sales of financial assets. Also, all transfers of financial assets executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty must be accounted for separately, the result of which would be the treatment of such transactions as a secured borrowings. ASC Update 2014-11 is effective for public business entities’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2015 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The adoption of ASC Update 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." ASC Update 2014-12 clarifies guidance related to accounting for share-based payment awards with terms that allow an employee to vest in the award regardless of whether the employee is rendering service on the date a performance target is achieved. ASC Update 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASC Update 2014-12 is effective for public business entities’ interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with earlier adoption permitted. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2015 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The adoption of ASC Update 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2013 consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

NOTE B – Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Diluted net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs). PSUs are required to be included in weighted average shares outstanding if performance measures, as defined in each PSU award agreement, are met as of the end of the period.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , 3.3 million and 3.2 million shares issuable under stock options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted net income per share computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , 4.3 million and 4.0 million shares issuable under stock options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted net income per share computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Securities carried at $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2014 and $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2013 were pledged as collateral to secure public and trust deposits and customer repurchase agreements.
Equity securities include common stocks of financial institutions ( $40.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $40.6 million at December 31, 2013 ) and other equity investments ( $6.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2013 ).
As of June 30, 2014 , the financial institutions stock portfolio had a cost basis of $28.5 million and a fair value of $40.2 million , including an investment in a single financial institution with a cost basis of $20.0 million and a fair value of $28.2 million . The fair value of this investment accounted for 70.2% of the fair value of the Corporation's investments in the common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions. No other investment within the financial institutions stock portfolio exceeded 5% of the portfolio's fair value.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities as of June 30, 2014 , by contractual maturity, are shown in the following table.

The other-than-temporary impairment charges for equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were for investments in common stocks of financial institutions and were due to the severity and duration of the declines in the fair values of certain financial institution stocks, in conjunction with management's assessment of the near-term prospects of each specific financial institution.

The Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2014 .
The unrealized holding losses on auction rate securities, or auction rate certificates (ARCs), are attributable to liquidity issues resulting from the failure of periodic auctions. The Corporation had previously purchased ARCs for investment management and trust customers as short-term investments with fair values that could be derived based on periodic auctions under normal market conditions. During 2008 and 2009, the Corporation purchased ARCs from these customers due to the failure of these periodic auctions, which made these previously short-term investments illiquid.
As of June 30, 2014 , approximately $143 million , or 97% , of the ARCs were rated above investment grade, with approximately $6 million , or 4% , AAA rated and $102 million , or 70% , AA rated. Approximately $4 million , or 3% , of ARCs were either not rated or rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency. Of this amount, approximately $3 million , or 59% , of the student loans underlying these ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. In total, approximately $145 million , or 99% , of the student loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments that are guaranteed by the federal government.
During the six months ended 2014, the Corporation sold ARCs with a total book value of $11.9 million , with no gain or loss upon sale. As of June 30, 2014 , all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments. Based on management’s evaluations, ARCs with a fair value of $146.9 million were not subject to any other-than-temporary impairment charges as of June 30, 2014 . The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.
For its investments in equity securities, particularly its investments in stocks of financial institutions, management evaluates the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold those investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a recovery of fair value,

the Corporation does not consider those investments with unrealized holding losses as of June 30, 2014 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
The majority of the Corporation's available for sale corporate debt securities are issued by financial institutions. The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of corporate debt securities:

The Corporation’s investments in single-issuer trust preferred securities had an unrealized loss of $4.3 million at June 30, 2014 . The Corporation did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges for single-issuer trust preferred securities during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 . Six of the Corporation's 20 single-issuer trust preferred securities were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with an amortized cost of $13.5 million and an estimated fair value of $12.1 million at June 30, 2014 . All of the single-issuer trust preferred securities rated below investment grade were rated BB or Ba. Three single-issuer trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $4.7 million and an estimated fair value of $3.8 million at June 30, 2014 were not rated by any ratings agency.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation sold two pooled trust preferred securities with a total amortized cost of $728,000 , for a gain of $1.1 million . As of June 30, 2014 , all six of the Corporation's pooled trust preferred securities, with an amortized cost of $2.1 million and an estimated fair value of $4.3 million , were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with ratings ranging from C to Ca. The class of securities held by the Corporation was below the most senior tranche, with the Corporation’s interests being subordinate to other investors in the pool. The Corporation determines the fair value of pooled trust preferred securities based on quotes provided by third-party brokers.
The amortized cost of pooled trust preferred securities is the purchase price of the securities, net of cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges, determined using an expected cash flows model. The most significant input to the expected cash flows model is the expected payment deferral rate for each pooled trust preferred security. The Corporation evaluates the financial metrics, such as capital ratios and non-performing assets ratios, of the individual financial institution issuers that comprise each pooled trust preferred security to estimate its expected deferral rate.
Based on management’s evaluations, corporate debt securities with a fair value of $100.7 million were not subject to any other-than-temporary impairment charges as of June 30, 2014 . The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.
As mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), in December 2013, five regulatory bodies issued final rulings (Final Rules) implementing certain prohibitions and restrictions on the ability of a banking entity and non-bank financial company supervised by the Federal Reserve Board to engage in proprietary trading and have certain ownership interests in, or relationships with, a "covered fund" (the so-called "Volcker Rule"). The Final Rules generally treat as a covered fund any entity that would be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) but for the application of the exemptions from SEC registration set forth in Section 3(c)(1) (fewer than 100 beneficial owners) or Section 3(c)(7) (qualified purchasers) of the 1940 Act. The Final Rules also require regulated entities to establish an internal compliance program that is consistent with the extent to which it engages in activities covered by the Volcker Rule, which must include making regular reports about those activities to regulators. Although the Final Rules provide some tiering of compliance and reporting obligations based on size, the fundamental prohibitions of the Volcker Rule apply to banking entities of any size, including the Corporation. Banking entities have until July 21, 2015 to conform their activities and investments to the requirements of the Final Rules. While the Corporation does not engage in proprietary trading or in any other activities prohibited by the Final Rules, the Corporation will continue to evaluate whether any of its investments fall within the definition of a "covered fund" and would need to be disposed of by July 21, 2015. However, based on the Corporation's evaluation to date, it does not currently expect the Final Rules will have a material effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The Corporation’s allowance for credit losses includes: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans evaluated for impairment under the FASB's ASC Section 310-10-35; and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans measured for impairment under FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20.
The Corporation segments its loan portfolio by general loan type, or "portfolio segments," as presented in the table under the heading, "Loans, Net of Unearned Income," above. Certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on "class segments," which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. For commercial loans, class segments include loans secured by collateral and unsecured loans. Construction loan class segments include loans secured by commercial real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate and loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. Consumer loan class segments include direct consumer installment loans and indirect automobile loans.

The unallocated allowance, which was approximately 6% and 10% of the total allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , respectively, was, in the opinion of management, reasonable and appropriate given that the estimates used in the allocation process are inherently imprecise.
N/A – Not applicable.

Impaired Loans
A loan is considered to be impaired if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans consist of all loans on non-accrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Impaired loans to borrowers with total outstanding commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million are evaluated individually for impairment. Impaired loans to borrowers with total outstanding commitments less than $1.0 million are pooled and measured for impairment collectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , substantially all of the Corporation’s individually evaluated impaired loans with total outstanding balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million were measured based on the estimated fair value of each loan’s collateral. Collateral could be in the form of real estate, in the case of impaired commercial mortgages and construction loans, or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real property.
As of June 30, 2014 and 2013 , approximately 79% and 86% , respectively, of impaired loans with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million , whose primary collateral is real estate, were measured at estimated fair value using state certified third-party appraisals that had been updated within the preceding 12 months.
When updated certified appraisals are not obtained for loans to commercial borrowers evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 that are secured by real estate, fair values are estimated based on the original appraisal values, as long as the original appraisal indicated a strong loan-to-value position and, in the opinion of the Corporation's internal loan evaluation staff, there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value since the original appraisal was performed. Original appraisals are typically used only when the estimated collateral value, as adjusted appropriately for the age of the appraisal, results in a current loan-to-value ratio that is lower than the Corporation's loan-to-value requirements for new loans, generally less than 70% .

The following is a summary of the Corporation's internal risk rating categories:
•
Pass : These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.
•
Special Mention : These loans constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to a point of justifying a classification of substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable, but are nevertheless potentially weak.
•
Substandard or Lower : These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt.

The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for the class segments presented above. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the allowance for credit loss methodology, which bases the probability of default on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. Risk ratings are initially assigned to loans by loan officers and are reviewed on a regular basis by credit administration staff. The Corporation's loan review officers provide a separate assessment of risk rating accuracy. Ratings may be changed based on the ongoing monitoring procedures performed by loan officers or credit administration staff, or if specific loan review activities identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loan. The risk rating process allows management to identify riskier credits in a timely manner and to allocate resources to managing troubled accounts.

The Corporation does not assign internal risk ratings to smaller balance, homogeneous loans, such as home equity, residential mortgage, consumer, leasing and other and construction loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. For these loans, the most relevant credit quality indicator is delinquency status. The migration of these loans through the various delinquency status categories is a significant component of the allowance for credit losses methodology, which bases the probability of default on this migration.

MSRs represent the economic value of existing contractual rights to service mortgage loans that have been sold. Accordingly, actual and expected prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans can impact the value of MSRs.
The Corporation estimates the fair value of its MSRs by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income, net of expense, over the expected life of the underlying loans at a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with these assets. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. No adjustment to the valuation allowance was necessary for three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Based on the results of the fair value analysis completed as of June 30, 2013, a decrease to the valuation allowance of $2.0 million was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
As of June 30, 2014 , the estimated fair value of MSRs was $47.3 million , which exceeded their book value. Therefore, no increase to the valuation allowance was necessary during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 .

NOTE G – Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. The Corporation grants equity awards to employees, consisting of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs under its Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan (Employee Option Plan). In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The Corporation also grants equity awards stock to non-employee members of the board of directors under its 2011 Directors’ Equity Participation Plan (Directors’ Plan). Under the Directors’ Plan, the Corporation can grant equity awards to non-employee holding company and subsidiary bank directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock or common stock.

Equity awards issued under the Employee Option Plan have historically been granted annually and become fully vested over or after a three year vesting period. Equity awards under the Directors' Plan generally vest immediately upon grant. Certain events, as defined in the Employee Option Plan and the Directors' Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards.

Stock option fair values are estimated through the use of the Black-Scholes valuation methodology as of the date of grant. Stock options carry terms of up to ten years. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the trading price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards earn dividends during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation granted approximately 389,000 PSUs, 289,000 stock options and 105,000 RSUs under its Employee Option Plan. The fair value of RSUs and a majority of PSUs are based on the trading price of the Corporation's stock on the date of grant. The fair value of certain PSUs are estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo valuation methodology as of the date of grant. RSUs become fully vested over or after a three year vesting period, however, certain events, as defined in the Employee Option Plan, can result in the acceleration of the vesting of RSUs. RSUs and PSUs earn dividends during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. The amount of PSUs that vest is variable based on the achievement of Corporate and individual performance measures, as defined in each grantees' award agreement. As such, the fair value of PSUs, which is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards, may vary, based on the expectations for actual performance relative to defined performance measures. As of June 30, 2014 , the Employee Option Plan had 11.1 million shares reserved for future grants through 2023 . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation granted approximately 13,000 shares of stock under its Directors' Plan. As of June 30, 2014 , the Directors’ Plan had approximately 424,000 shares reserved for future grants through 2021 .

NOTE H – Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation maintains a defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) for certain employees, which was curtailed effective January 1, 2008 . Contributions to the Pension Plan are actuarially determined and funded annually, if required. Pension Plan assets are invested in: money markets; fixed income securities, including corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities and common trust funds; and equity securities, including common stocks and common stock mutual funds.
The net periodic benefit cost for the Corporation’s Pension Plan, as determined by consulting actuaries, consisted of the following components:

The Pension Plan service cost recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, was related to administrative costs associated with the plan and was not due to the accrual of additional participant benefits.
The Corporation currently provides medical and life insurance benefits under a postretirement benefits plan (Postretirement Plan) to certain retired full-time employees who were employees of the Corporation prior to January 1, 1998 .
Effective February 1, 2014, the Corporation amended the Postretirement Plan, making all active full-time employees ineligible for benefits under this plan. As a result of this amendment, the Corporation recorded a $1.5 million gain in 2014, as determined by consulting actuaries and included as a component of salaries and employee benefits on the consolidated statements of income. The gain resulted from the recognition of the remaining prior service cost prior to the amendment date as of December 31, 2013.

26

In addition, this amendment resulted in a $3.3 million decrease in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and a corresponding increase in unrecognized prior service cost credits.
The net periodic benefit (income) cost of the Corporation’s Postretirement Plan as determined by consulting actuaries, consisted of the following components, excluding the impact of the $1.5 million plan amendment gain:

As a result of the plan amendment, additional participant benefits are not accrued under the Postretirement Plan after February 1, 2014. Service costs recorded after the effective date of the amendment represent administrative costs associated with the plan.
The Corporation recognizes the funded status of its Pension Plan and Postretirement Plan on the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes the change in that funded status through other comprehensive income.

NOTE I – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation manages its exposure to certain interest rate and foreign currency risks through the use of derivatives. None of the Corporation's outstanding derivative contracts are designated as hedges and none are entered into for speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair values recognized in earnings as components of non-interest income and non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Derivative contracts create counterparty credit risk with both the Corporation's customers and with institutional derivative counterparties. The Corporation manages credit risk through its credit approval processes, monitoring procedures and obtaining adequate collateral, when the Corporation determines it is appropriate to do so.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans or interest rate locks at a fixed price at a future date. The amount necessary to settle each interest rate lock is based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded within mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments that are recorded at their fair values within other assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value during the period are recorded within other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Corporation enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the needs of its customers. Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency on a future date at a contractual price. The Corporation offsets its foreign exchange contract exposure with customers by entering into contracts with third-party correspondent financial institutions to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Corporation also holds certain amounts of foreign currency with international correspondent banks. The Corporation's policy limits the total net foreign currency open positions, which includes all outstanding contracts and foreign account balances, to $500,000 . Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded within other service charges and fees on the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE J – Fair Value Option
U.S. GAAP permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and requires certain disclosures for amounts for which the fair value option is applied. The Corporation has elected to measure mortgage loans held for sale at fair value to more accurately reflect the financial results of its mortgage banking activities in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative financial instruments related to these activities are also recorded at fair value, as noted within Note I, "Derivative Financial Instruments." The Corporation determines fair value for its mortgage loans held for sale based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Changes in fair values during the period are recorded as components of mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded within interest income on the consolidated statements of income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation recorded gains related to changes in fair values of mortgage loans held for sale of $518,000 and $815,000 , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Corporation recorded losses related to changes in fair values of mortgage loans held for sale of $2.7 million and $3.4 million , respectively.

NOTE K – Balance Sheet Offsetting
Certain financial assets and liabilities may be eligible for offset on the consolidated balance sheets as they are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. The Corporation elects to not offset assets and liabilities subject to such arrangements on the consolidated financial statements.
The Corporation is a party to interest rate swap transactions with financial institution counterparties and customers, disclosed in detail within Note I, "Derivative Financial Instruments." Under these agreements, the Corporation has the right to net settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Cash collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements in the event of default.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation is also a party to foreign currency exchange contracts with financial institution counterparties, under which the Corporation has the right to net settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. As with interest rate swap contracts, cash collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements in the event of default. For additional details, see Note I, "Derivative Financial Instruments."
The Corporation also enters into agreements with customers in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities, referred to as repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still maintain effective control through agreements that both entitle and obligate the Corporation to repurchase the assets. Therefore, repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings, classified within short-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain classified with investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation has no intention of setting off these amounts, therefore, these repurchase agreements are not eligible for offset.

For interest rate swap and foreign exchange derivative assets, amounts represent any derivative liability fair values that could be offset in the event of counterparty or customer default. For interest rate swap and foreign exchange derivative liabilities, amounts represent any derivative asset fair values that could be offset in the event of counterparty or customer default.
(2)
Amounts represent cash collateral posted on interest rate swap transactions with financial institution counterparties. Interest rate swaps with customers are collateralized by the underlying loans to those borrowers.

NOTE L – Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the outstanding amount of those instruments.
The outstanding amounts of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were as follows:

391,445

Commercial letters of credit
34,632

36,344

The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which represents management’s estimate of losses associated with unused commitments to extend credit. See Note E, "Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.
Residential Lending
Residential mortgages are originated and sold by the Corporation and consist primarily of conforming, prime loans sold to government sponsored agencies, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The Corporation also sells a portion of prime loans to non-government sponsored agency investors.
The Corporation provides customary representations and warranties to investors that specify, among other things, that the loans have been underwritten to the standards established by the investor. The Corporation may be required to repurchase a loan or

30

reimburse the investor for a credit loss incurred on a loan if it is determined that the representations and warranties have not been met. Such repurchases or reimbursements generally result from an underwriting or documentation deficiency. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , total outstanding repurchase requests totaled $680,000 and $8.8 million , respectively. During the first quarter of 2014 , the Corporation entered into a settlement agreement with a secondary market investor. Under this agreement, the Corporation agreed to pay this investor $4.5 million to settle all outstanding and potential future repurchase requests under a series of specified loan purchase agreements with that secondary market investor. The result of this settlement was a reduction to outstanding repurchase requests of $7.5 million and a reduction to reserves for repurchases of $5.1 million , resulting in a $600,000 reduction of operating risk loss on the consolidated statements of income during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
From 2000 to 2011 , the Corporation sold loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh under its Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (MPF Program). No loans were sold under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or during 2013 or 2012. The Corporation provided a "credit enhancement" for residential mortgage loans sold under the MPF Program whereby it would assume credit losses in excess of a defined "First Loss Account" (FLA) balance, up to specified amounts. The FLA is funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of loans sold. As of June 30, 2014 , the unpaid principal balance of loans sold under the MPF Program was approximately $165 million . As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the reserve for estimated credit losses related to loans sold under the MPF Program was $2.4 million and $2.5 million , respectively. Required reserves are calculated based on delinquency status and estimated loss rates established through the Corporation's existing allowance for credit losses methodology.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the total reserve for losses on residential mortgage loans sold was $3.3 million and $8.6 million , respectively, including both reserves for credit losses under the MPF Program and reserves for representation and warranty exposures. Management believes that the reserves recorded as of June 30, 2014 are adequate. However, declines in collateral values, the identification of additional loans to be repurchased, or a deterioration in the credit quality of loans sold under the MPF Program could necessitate additional reserves in the future.
Regulatory Matters
In July 2014, three wholly owned banking subsidiaries of the Corporation, Fulton Bank, N.A., Swineford National Bank and FNB Bank, N.A., each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order (Consent Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency relating to identified deficiencies in a centralized Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program, which was designed to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and related anti-money laundering regulations (collectively, the "BSA/AML Requirements") as disclosed by the Corporation in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2014 (Form 8-K).  The Consent Orders require, among other things, that the banking subsidiaries review, assess and take actions to strengthen and enhance their compliance programs related to the BSA/AML Requirements (BSA/AML Compliance Program). In addition, the Form 8-K disclosed that the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank (Lafayette), anticipate that they will enter into a consent cease and desist order (Cease and Desist Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the near future. It is anticipated that the Cease and Desist Order will require the Corporation and Lafayette to strengthen the BSA/AML Compliance Program and will impose requirements similar to those set forth in the Consent Orders. Further, because the Consent Orders and the anticipated Cease and Desist Order relate to the BSA/AML Compliance Program, which is operated jointly for all of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks, the Corporation anticipates that one or more of the Corporation’s other subsidiary banks may also become the subject or subjects of a regulatory enforcement action related to the BSA/AML Requirements, and the provisions of any such enforcement action may differ from those of the Consent Orders.
Other Contingencies
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business of the Corporation. The Corporation periodically evaluates the possible impact of pending litigation matters based on, among other factors, the advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and recorded liabilities and reserves for probable legal liabilities and costs. In addition, from time to time, the Corporation is the subject of investigations or other forms of regulatory or governmental inquiry covering a range of possible issues and, in some cases, these may be part of similar reviews of the specified activities of other industry participants. These inquiries could lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, and could possibly result in fines, penalties, restitution or the need to alter the Corporation’s business practices, and cause the Corporation to incur additional costs. The Corporation’s practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental investigations.

As of the date of this report, the Corporation believes that any liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, which may result from the final outcomes of pending proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, the operating results

31

and/or the liquidity of the Corporation. However, legal proceedings are often unpredictable, and the actual results of such proceedings cannot be determined with certainty.

NOTE M – Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value using the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):
•
Level 1 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•
Level 2 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.
•
Level 3 – Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.
The Corporation has categorized all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis into the above three levels.
The following tables present summaries of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the consolidated balance sheets:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the preceding tables are as follows:
•
Mortgage loans held for sale – This category consists of mortgage loans held for sale that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were measured based on the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics.
•
Available for sale investment securities – Included within this asset category are both equity and debt securities. Level 2 available for sale debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. The pricing service uses pricing models that vary based on asset class and incorporate available market information, including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing models use available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing.
Standard market inputs include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard market inputs may not be applicable.

Management tests the values provided by the pricing service by obtaining securities prices from an alternative third-party source and comparing the results. This test is done for approximately 75% of the securities valued by the pricing service. Generally, differences by security in excess of 5% are researched to reconcile the difference.
•
Equity securities – Equity securities consist of common stocks of financial institutions ( $40.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $40.6 million at December 31, 2013 ) and other equity investments ( $6.0 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.6 million at December 31, 2013 ). These Level 1 investments are measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
•
U.S. Government securities/U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Mortgage-backed securities – These debt securities are classified as Level 2 investments. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
•
Corporate debt securities – This category consists of subordinated debt issued by financial institutions ( $50.6 million at June 30, 2014 and $50.3 million at December 31, 2013 ), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ( $43.2 million at June 30, 2014 and $40.5 million at December 31, 2013 ), pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ( $4.3 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2013 ) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ( $2.6 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 ).
Level 2 investments include the Corporation’s holdings of subordinated debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $39.4 million and $36.7 million of single-issuer trust preferred securities held at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively. The fair values for these corporate debt securities are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Level 3 investments include the Corporation’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities ( $3.8 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 ). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporation’s third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive markets for similar investments. Level 3 values are tested by management primarily through trend analysis, by comparing current values to those reported at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and determining if they are reasonable based on price and spread movements for this asset class.
•
Auction rate securities – Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investments and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The most significant unobservable input to the expected cash flows model is an assumed return to market liquidity sometime within the next five years. If the assumed return to market liquidity was lengthened beyond the next five years, this would result in a decrease in the fair value of these ARCs. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid. Level 3 values are tested by management through the performance of a trend analysis of the market price and discount rate. Changes in the price and discount rates are compared to changes in market data, including bond ratings, parity ratios, balances and delinquency levels.

33

•
Other assets – Included within this category are the following:
•
Level 1 assets include mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans ( $16.1 million at June 30, 2014 and $15.3 million at December 31, 2013 ) and the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ( $225,000 at June 30, 2014 and $522,000 at December 31, 2013 ). The mutual funds and foreign exchange prices used to measure these items at fair value are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•
Level 2 assets include the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ( $2.4 million at June 30, 2014 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2013 ) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ( $10.6 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.1 million at December 31, 2013 ). The fair values of the Corporation’s interest rate locks, forward commitments and interest rate swaps represent the amounts that would be required to settle the derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. See Note I, "Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information.
•
Other liabilities – Included within this category are the following:
•
Level 1 liabilities include employee deferred compensation liabilities which represent amounts due to employees under deferred compensation plans ( $16.1 million at June 30, 2014 and $15.3 million at December 31, 2013 ) and the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ( $163,000 at June 30, 2014 and $391,000 at December 31, 2013 ). The fair value of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Other assets" above.
•
Level 2 liabilities include the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ( $1.8 million at June 30, 2014 and $64,000 at December 31, 2013 ) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ( $10.6 million at June 30, 2014 and $5.1 million at December 31, 2013 ). The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Other assets" above.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:
•
Net loans – This category consists of loans that were evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 and have been classified as Level 3 assets. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses. See Note E, "Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.
•
Other financial assets – This category includes OREO ( $13.5 million at June 30, 2014 and $15.1 million at December 31, 2013 ) and MSRs ( $42.6 million at June 30, 2014 and $42.5 million at December 31, 2013 ), both classified as Level 3 assets.
Fair values for OREO were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets.
MSRs are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are stratified and evaluated for impairment by comparing each stratum's carrying amount to its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third-party valuation expert. Significant inputs to the valuation included expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The weighted average annual constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate used in the June 30, 2014 valuation were 12.1% and 9.1% , respectively. Management tests the reasonableness of the significant inputs to the third-party valuation in comparison to market data.
As required by FASB ASC Section 825-10-50, the following table details the book values and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 . In addition, a general description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values is also provided.
Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.

These financial instruments, or certain financial instruments within these categories, are measured at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Descriptions of the fair value determinations for these financial instruments are disclosed above.
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less, and excluding those recorded at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, book value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
Assets
Liabilities
Cash and due from banks
Demand and savings deposits
Interest bearing deposits with other banks
Short-term borrowings
Accrued interest receivable
Accrued interest payable

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock represent restricted investments and are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets . Each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank for the region encompassing the headquarters of the subsidiary bank.  Memberships are maintained with the Atlanta, New York and Pittsburgh regional Federal Home Loan Banks (collectively referred to as the "FHLB").
Fair values for loans and time deposits were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and similar deposits would be issued to customers for the same remaining maturities. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit price approach to fair value, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820.
The fair values of FHLB advances and long-term debt were estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a rate at which the Corporation could issue debt with similar remaining maturities as of the balance sheet date. These borrowings would be categorized within Level 2 liabilities under FASB ASC Topic 820.

NOTE N – Common Stock Repurchase Plans
In October 2013 , the Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation was authorized to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares, or approximately 2.1% of its outstanding shares, through March 2014 . During the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation repurchased 4.0 million shares under this repurchase plan at an average cost of $12.45 per share, completing this repurchase program on February 19, 2014.
In May 2014 , the Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation was authorized to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares, or approximately 2.1% of its outstanding shares, through December 31, 2014 . No shares were repurchased under this repurchase plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 .

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Management’s Discussion) relates to Fulton Financial Corporation (the Corporation), a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1982, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Management’s Discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes presented in this report.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Corporation has made, and may continue to make, certain forward-looking statements with respect to its financial condition and results of operations. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends" and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Corporation's control and ability to predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Many factors could affect future financial results including, without limitation:
•
the impact of adverse changes in the economy and real estate markets, including protracted periods of low-growth and sluggish loan demand;
•
increases in non-performing assets, which may require the Corporation to increase the allowance for credit losses, charge-off loans and incur elevated collection and carrying costs related to such non-performing assets;
•
the effects of market interest rates, particularly a continuing period of low market interest rates, and relative balances of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities, on net interest margin and net interest income;
•
capital and liquidity strategies, including the Corporation’s ability to comply with applicable capital and liquidity requirements (including the finalized Basel III capital standards), and the Corporation’s ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
•
investment securities gains and losses, including other-than-temporary declines in the value of securities which may result in charges to earnings;
•
the impact of non-interest income growth, including the impact of potential regulatory changes;
•
the impact of increased regulatory scrutiny of the banking industry;
•
the effects of the increasing time and expense associated with regulatory compliance and risk management;
•
the additional time, expense and investment required to comply with, and the restrictions on potential growth and investment activities resulting from, the issuance of enforcement orders by federal bank regulatory agencies;
•
the Corporation’s ability to manage the uncertainty and lack of clear regulatory guidance associated with the delay in implementing many of the regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act;
•
the impact of operational risk, i.e. the risk of loss resulting from human error, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, outsourcing arrangements, compliance and legal risk and external events;
•
the Corporation’s ability to manage the level of non-interest expenses, including salaries and employee benefits expenses, operating risk losses, amortization of intangible assets and goodwill impairment;
•
the Corporation’s ability to keep pace with technological changes and to identify and to address cyber-security risks;
•
the effects of competition on rates of deposit, loan growth and net interest margin; and
•
any damage to the Corporation’s reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview and Summary Financial Results
Fulton Financial Corporation is a financial holding company comprised of six wholly owned banking subsidiaries which provide a full range of retail and commercial financial services in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. The Corporation generates the majority of its revenue through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and/or maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is net interest income (fully taxable-equivalent, or FTE) as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various

38

services and products offered to its customers and through gains on sales of assets, such as loans, investments, lines of business or properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses on loans, non-interest expenses and income taxes.

Presented on an FTE basis, using a 35% Federal tax rate and statutory interest expense disallowances. See also the “Net Interest Income” section of Management’s Discussion.
Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $655,000 , or 1.2% , compared to the second quarter of 2013 . For the first half of 2014 , income before taxes increased $4.4 million , or 4.2% , compared to the same period in 2013 . The Corporation's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 in comparison to the same periods in 2013 were most significantly impacted by improved asset quality, resulting in decreases in the provision for credit losses and lower net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by decreases in non-interest expense.
Following is a summary of these and other noteworthy items for the second quarter of 2014 :
Asset Quality - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation's provision for credit losses decreased $10.0 million , or 74.1% , and $22.5 million, or 78.9%, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2013 . These decreases were due to an overall improvement in asset quality.
Non-performing loans decreased $39.9 million, or 21.1%, since June 30, 2013 . The total delinquency rate was 1.75% as of June 30, 2014 , compared to 2.18% as of June 30, 2013 . Annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 0.28% for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 0.56% for the second quarter of 2013.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , net interest income decreased $4.2 million , or 3.2%, and $4.2 million, or 1.6%, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2013 . Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was negatively impacted by net interest margin compression as yields on interest-earning assets declined more significantly than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in comparison to the same periods in 2013. The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2014 decreased 11 basis points, or 3.1% , in comparison to the second quarter of 2013 . For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , net interest margin decreased 10 basis points, or 2.8%, in comparison to the same period of 2013 .
Partially offsetting the impact of the decreasing yields was growth in average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets increased $38.9 million , or 0.3% , in the second quarter of 2014 in comparison to the same period of 2013 , mainly due to a $267.2 million , or 2.1% , increase in average loans, partially offset by a $215.9 million, or 7.9%, decrease in investments. Average interest-earning assets during the first half of 2014 increased $194.7 million compared to the same period in 2013, primarily as a result of a $385.5 million, or 3.1%, increase in average loans, partially offset by a $201.4 million, or 7.3%, decrease in investments.
Non-interest Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, decreased $5.7 million , or 11.5% , and $12.0 million , 12.7% , respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2013 . The decreases in non-interest income were primarily due to decreases in mortgage banking income, as gains on sales of residential mortgages were impacted by lower refinancing volumes. Also contributing to the decreases in non-interest income were declines in service charges on deposits, particularly in overdraft fee income.
Non-interest Expense - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , non-interest expense decreased $956,000 , or 0.8% , and $2.3 million, or 1.0%, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2013 . These decreases were primarily driven by decreases in other real estate owned (OREO) and repossession expense, due to improved asset quality, and decreases in operating risk losses,

40

partially offset by increases in other outside services as a result of consulting expense incurred primarily for risk management and regulatory compliance initiatives, as discussed under the heading, "Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management Matters" below.
During the first quarter of 2014 , the Corporation implemented a series of initiatives intended to reduce non-interest expenses by approximately $7.0 million in 2014. These initiatives included the consolidation of 13 branches, streamlining of subsidiary bank management structures and other employee compensation and benefit reductions.
The branch consolidations resulted in the transfer of deposits, employees and other branch resources to existing branch locations. During the first quarter of 2014, $2.1 million of expenses, consisting mainly of lease termination costs and the write-off of leasehold improvements, were incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, $800,000 of expense reductions were recognized as a result of these consolidations. The Corporation estimates total expense reductions for the remainder of 2014 to be $1.6 million.
The streamlining of subsidiary bank management structures resulted in the elimination of five subsidiary bank divisional executive positions, while other employee compensation and benefit reductions resulted in changes to certain employee benefits plans, most notably an amendment to the Corporation's postretirement benefits plan (Postretirement Plan). During the first quarter of 2014, $1.1 million of net implementation gains were recognized. During the three and six months ended June, 30, 2014, $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of expense reductions were realized as a result of these actions. The Corporation estimates total expense reductions for the remainder of 2014 to be $2.4 million.
Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management Matters - Virtually every aspect of the Corporation’s operations is subject to extensive regulation, and in recent years, a combination of financial reform legislation and heightened scrutiny by banking regulators have significantly increased expectations regarding what constitutes an effective risk and compliance management infrastructure. Bank regulators are scrutinizing banks through longer and more extensive bank examinations in both the safety and soundness and compliance areas.

To keep pace with these heightened expectations in the compliance area beginning in 2012 the Corporation has devoted substantial resources to improving its risk management framework and regulatory compliance programs, including those designed to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and related anti-money laundering regulations (collectively, BSA/AML Requirements). The Corporation has made substantial progress in strengthening its risk management and regulatory compliance programs, including the addition of personnel and retention of third-party consultants that specialize in strengthening compliance programs addressing the BSA/AML Requirements. However, the pace of this progress has not been consistent with current regulatory expectations, and continuing deficiencies in compliance program elements related to the BSA/AML Requirements have been identified at the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries, and at the Corporation.

In July 2014, three of the Corporation’s banking subsidiaries, Fulton Bank, N.A., Swineford National Bank and FNB Bank, N.A., each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order (Consent Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, relating to identified deficiencies in a centralized compliance program (BSA/AML Compliance Program) designed to comply with the BSA/AML Requirements, as disclosed by the Corporation in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2014 (Form 8-K). The Consent Orders require, among other things, that the banking subsidiaries in question review, assess and take actions to strengthen and enhance the BSA/AML Compliance Program. In addition, the Form 8-K disclosed that the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank (Lafayette), anticipate that they will enter into a consent cease and desist order (Cease and Desist Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the near future. It is anticipated that the Cease and Desist Order will require the Corporation and Lafayette to strengthen the BSA/AML Compliance Program and will impose requirements similar to those set forth in the Consent Orders. Further, because the Consent Orders and the anticipated Cease and Desist Order relate to the BSA/AML Compliance Program, which is operated jointly for all of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks, the Corporation anticipates that one or more of the Corporation’s other subsidiary banks may also become the subject or subjects of a regulatory enforcement action related to the BSA/AML Requirements, and the provisions of any such enforcement action may differ from those of the Consent Orders.
In addition to requiring strengthening and enhancement of the BSA/AML Compliance Program, the Consent Orders, the anticipated Cease and Desist Order and other anticipated enforcement action or actions impose certain restrictions on expansion activities of the Corporation and its subsidiary banks. Further, any failure to comply with the requirements of any of these enforcement actions involving the Corporation or its subsidiary banks could result in further enforcement actions, the imposition of material restrictions on the activities of the Corporation or its subsidiary banks, or the assessment of fines or penalties.
Additional expenses and investments will be required as the Corporation further expands its hiring of personnel and use of outside professionals, such as consulting and legal services, and possibly for capital investments in operating systems to strengthen and

41

support the BSA/AML Compliance Program, as well as the Corporation’s broader compliance and risk management infrastructures. The expense and capital investment associated with all of these efforts, including in connection with the Consent Orders, the anticipated Cease and Desist Order and the anticipated enforcement action or actions involving the Corporation’s other subsidiary banks, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations in future periods.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2014 compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
Net Interest Income
Fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest income decreased $4.2 million to $132.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 , from $136.4 million in the second quarter of 2013 . This decrease was primarily due to an 11 basis point, or 3.1% , decrease in the net interest margin, to 3.41% for the second quarter of 2014 from 3.52% for the second quarter of 2013 . The following table provides a comparative average balance sheet and net interest income analysis for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 . Interest income and yields are presented on an FTE basis, using a 35% Federal tax rate and statutory interest expense disallowances. The discussion following this table is based on these FTE amounts. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

As summarized above, a 15 basis point, or 3.7% , decrease in yields on average interest-earnings assets resulted in a $6.5 million decrease in FTE interest income, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in FTE interest income as a result of a $38.9 million , or 0.3% , increase in average interest-earning assets.
Average investments decreased $215.9 million , or 7.9% , as portfolio cash flows were not fully reinvested. The average yield on investments decreased 12 basis points, or 4.4% , to 2.60% in the second quarter of 2014 from 2.72% in the second quarter of 2013. A $1.7 million, or 51.1%, decrease in net premium amortization on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations had a 17 basis point positive impact on the overall change in portfolio yield. This positive impact was more than offset by the impact of purchases of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations at yields that were lower than the overall portfolio yield.

Average loans increased $267.2 million , or 2.1% , compared to the second quarter of 2013 , mainly in commercial mortgages. The growth in commercial mortgages was driven by a combination of loans to new customers and increased borrowings from existing customers. The average yield on loans decreased 21 basis points, or 4.8% , to 4.21% in 2014 from 4.42% in 2013 . The decrease in average yields on loans was attributable to repayments of higher-yielding loans and new loan production at lower rates.
Average other interest-earning assets increased $12.3 million , or 5.4% , primarily due to an increase in average interest-bearing deposits with other banks. The average yield on other interest-earning assets increased 125 basis points, or 162.3% , due to increases in dividends from Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank for the region encompassing the headquarters of the subsidiary bank.  Memberships are maintained with the Atlanta, New York and Pittsburgh regional Federal Home Loan Banks (collectively referred to as the "FHLB").As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation held $63.4 million of FHLB stock.
Interest expense decreased $1.0 million , or 4.8% , to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2013 . Interest expense decreased $623,000 due to a 3 basis point, or 4.1% , decrease in the average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. Total interest-bearing liabilities decreased $216.2 million , or 1.9% , which resulted in an additional $386,000 decrease in interest expense.

The $406.5 million , or 4.4% , increase in total demand and savings accounts was primarily due to a $193.1 million, or 4.3%, increase in personal account balances and a $187.9 million, or 6.1%, increase in business account balances. The $157.1 million , or 5.0% , decrease in average time deposits was primarily in accounts with balances less than $100,000 and with original maturity terms of less than three years.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 3 basis points, or 7.3% , to 0.38% in 2014 from 0.41% in 2013 , primarily due to a decrease in higher cost time deposits and an increase in lower cost interest-bearing savings and demand balances.

(1) Represents FHLB advances with an original maturity term of less than one year.
Total short-term borrowings decreased $265.7 million , or 20.2% , primarily due to decreases in Federal funds purchased, partially offset by an increase in short-term FHLB advances. The decrease in short-term borrowings was driven by the decrease in average investment securities as the increase in average deposits kept pace with the growth in average loans.
The average cost of total borrowings increased 24 basis points, or 11.5%, to 2.33% in 2014 from 2.09% in 2013 , primarily due to the weighted average cost impact of a decrease in lower cost short-term borrowings, which were 53.9% of total borrowings in 2014 and 59.6% in 2013 .

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2014 , a decrease of $10.0 million , or 74.1% , from the second quarter of 2013 due to improvements in asset quality, as shown by a reduction in non-performing loans and overall delinquency rates.
The provision for credit losses is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and is the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to its appropriate balance, as determined through the Corporation's allowance methodology. The Corporation determines the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including, but not limited to: the size and composition of the loan portfolio, changes in risk ratings, changes in collateral values, delinquency levels, historical losses and economic conditions. See the "Financial Condition" section of Management's Discussion under the heading "Provision for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses" for details related to the Corporation's allowance and provision for credit losses.

The $2.1 million, or 27.3%, decrease in overdraft fee income included a $1.4 million decrease in fees assessed on personal accounts and a $735,000 decrease in fees assessed on commercial accounts. The overall decline in these fees resulted from a reduction in the number of overdraft fees assessed, partially driven by changes in customer behavior and a reduction in the maximum number of overdraft fees that may be assessed each day.
The $738,000, or 7.0%, increase in investment management and trust services income was due to a $507,000, or 10.8%, increase in brokerage revenue and a $231,000, or 3.9%, increase in trust commissions. These increases resulted from new trust business sales, improved market conditions that increased the values of existing assets under management and additional recurring revenue generated through the brokerage business due to growth in new accounts.
Commercial swap fees increased $742,000, or 294.4%, due to the current interest rate environment and the Corporation's continued roll-out of the product. For additional details see Note I, "Derivative Financial Instruments" in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $5.7 million, or 65.7%, due to a $231.6 million, or 47.1%, decrease in new loan commitments and a 35.2% decrease in pricing spreads compared to the second quarter of 2013 . Both decreases resulted from an increase in mortgage interest rates in the second half of 2013. The decline in new loan commitments was mainly in refinancing volumes, which totaled approximately $66.6 million, or 25.7%, of new loan commitments, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $234.9 million, or 47.8%, during the second quarter of 2013 .
Investment securities gains for the second quarter of 2014 were a result of net realized gains on sales of debt securities. The $2.9 million of investment securities gains for the second quarter of 2013 included $1.1 million of net realized gains on financial institution stocks and $1.8 million of realized gains on sales of debt securities. See Note D, "Investment Securities," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $133,000, or 0.2%, due to a $146,000, or 0.3%, increase in salaries and a $13,000, or 0.11%, decrease in employee benefits. The increase in salaries resulted from normal merit increases. These increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in incentive compensation, a $371,000 decrease in stock-based compensation expense and lower salaries expense as a result of the cost savings initiatives executed in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in employee benefits was primarily due to the Corporation's cost savings initiatives, which included the elimination and reduction of certain employee benefit plans, most notably a decrease in profit sharing contributions and an amendment to the Postretirement Plan, offset by an increase in healthcare expenses. For additional information related to the amendment to the Postretirement Plan, see Note H, "Employee Benefit Plans" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other outside services increased $1.9 million, or 36.2%, due to an increase in consulting services related to the acceleration of risk management and compliance efforts, including those in connection with the enhancement of the Corporation’s program for compliance with the BSA/AML Requirements.
Equipment expense decreased $533,000, or 13.7%, due to a decrease in depreciation expense on office equipment, as assets related to significant information technology initiatives in prior years became fully depreciated.
OREO and repossession expense decreased $1.2 million, or 61.5%, primarily due to an increase in net gains on sales of properties and a decrease in valuation provisions.
The $1.1 million, or 61.5%, decrease in operating risk loss was due to a $679,000 decrease in charges related to debit card fraud losses and a $574,000 decrease in losses associated with previously sold residential mortgages.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2014 was $13.5 million, a $331,000, or 2.5%, increase from $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 .
The Corporation’s effective tax rate was 25.4% in the second quarter of 2014 , as compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2013 . The effective rate is generally lower than the Federal statutory rate of 35% due to investments in tax-free municipal securities and credits earned from investments in partnerships that generate tax credits under various federal programs. The increase in the effective tax rate in comparison to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a $488,000, net of federal tax, reduction in the valuation allowance for certain state deferred tax assets recognized through a credit to income tax expense in the second quarter of 2013 .

Net Interest Income
FTE net interest income decreased $4.3 million , or 1.6% , to $266.0 million in the first half of 2014 from $270.3 million in the first half of 2013 .
Net interest margin decreased 10 basis points, or 2.8% , to 3.44% for the first half of 2014 from 3.54% for the first half of 2013 . The decrease in net interest margin was the result of a 15 basis point, or 3.7% , decrease in yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 6 basis point, or 7.9% , decrease in funding costs.

A 15 basis point, or 3.7% , decrease in average yields on interest-earning assets resulted in a $13.1 million decrease in FTE interest income, which was partially offset by a $5.3 million increase in FTE interest income resulting from a $194.7 million , or 1.3% , increase in average interest-earning assets. Average investments decreased $201.4 million , or 7.3% , as portfolio cash flows were not fully reinvested.

The $399.4 million , or 8.5% , increase in commercial mortgages was from both new and existing customers. The average yield on loans decreased 23 basis points, or 5.1% , to 4.24% in 2014 from 4.47% in 2013 . The decrease in average yields on loans was attributable to repayments of higher-yielding loans and new loan production at lower rates.
Interest expense decreased $3.5 million , or 8.1% , to $39.2 million in the first half of 2014 from $42.7 million in the first half of 2013 . Interest expense decreased $2.2 million as a result of a six basis point, or 7.9% , decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily a result of a decrease in average costs of time deposits. A $90.2 million , or 0.8% , decrease in interest-bearing liabilities resulted in an additional $1.2 million decrease in interest expense.

The $468.7 million , or 5.2% , increase in total demand and savings account balances was primarily due to a $215.6 million, or 4.9%, increase in personal account balances, a $224.0 million, or 7.4%, increase in business account balances and a $46.5 million, or 2.9%, increase in municipal account balances. The $272.3 million , or 8.4% , decrease in average time deposits was primarily in accounts with balances less than $100,000 and with original maturity terms of less than three years.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased seven basis points, or 16.3% , to 0.36% in 2014 from 0.43% in 2013 , primarily due to a decrease in higher cost time deposits and an increase in lower cost interest-bearing savings and demand balances.

The $4.2 million, or 28.1%, decrease in overdraft fee income included a $2.8 million decrease in fees assessed on personal accounts and a $1.4 million decrease in fees assessed on commercial accounts. The overall decline in these fees resulted from a reduction in the number of overdraft items paid.
The $1.6 million, or 7.7%, increase in investment management and trust services income was primarily due to a $1.2 million, or 13.7%, increase in brokerage revenue and a $381,000, or 3.2%, increase in trust commissions. These increases resulted from new trust business sales, improved market conditions that increased the values of existing assets under management, and additional recurring revenue generated through the brokerage business due to growth in new accounts. The $1.5 million increase in commercial loan swap fees was due to the current interest rate environment and the Corporation's continued roll-out of the product.
Gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $11.6 million, or 68.3%, due to a $553.6 million, or 55.1%, decrease in new loan commitments and a 29.4% decrease in pricing spreads compared to the prior year. Both decreases resulted from an increase in mortgage interest rates in the second half of 2013. The decline in new loan commitments was mainly in refinancing volumes, which were $130.1 million, or 28.8%, of new loan commitments in 2014 compared to $558.6 million, or 55.6%, during 2013.
Mortgage servicing income increased $1.8 million in comparison to 2013, primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in amortization of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) as prepayments slowed as mortgage rates increased, partially offset by the absence of a $2.0 million reversal of the valuation allowance for MSRs recorded in the second quarter of 2013.
Investment securities gains of $1.1 million was a result of net realized gains on the sales of debt securities. The $5.4 million of investment securities gains for first half 2013 included $2.2 million of net realized gains on financial institution stocks and $3.2 million of realized gains on the sales of debt securities.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.5 million, or 1.2%, with salaries increasing $352,000, or 0.3%, and employee benefits decreasing $1.9 million, or 8.8%. The increase in salaries was primarily due to normal merit increases, partially offset by decreases in overtime and temporary employee expense related to lower residential mortgage volumes and the core processing system conversion in 2013, a decrease in incentive compensation and lower salaries expense as a result of the completion of the cost savings initiatives executed in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in employee benefits was primarily due to the cost savings initiatives, which included the elimination and reduction of certain employee benefit plans, most notably a decrease in profit sharing contributions and an amendment to the Postretirement Plan, partially offset by an increase in healthcare expenses.
The $1.8 million, or 7.6%, increase in net occupancy expense was primarily due to an increase in snow removal costs in 2014, partially offset by savings from the Corporation's 2014 branch consolidations.
Other outside services increased $2.9 million, or 35.2%, due to an increase in consulting services related to the Corporation’s acceleration of risk management and compliance efforts.
The $839,000, or 10.8%, decrease in equipment expense was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation expense as certain assets became fully depreciated. FDIC insurance expense decreased $544,000, or 9.3%, due to a decrease in assessment rates based on improvements in subsidiary bank impaired asset levels.
The $1.1 million, or 29.8%, decrease in operating risk loss was due to a decrease in for losses associated with previously sold residential mortgages, primarily due to the Corporation entering into a settlement agreement with a secondary market investor during the first half of 2014 and a decrease in charges related to debit card fraud losses. See Note L "Commitments and Contingencies," in the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional details related to repurchases of previously sold residential mortgages.
Stationary and supplies decreased $414,000, or 16.0% due to one-time cost associated with the core systems conversion in 2013.
OREO and repossession expense decreased $3.1 million, or 63.9%, primarily due to an increase in net gains on sales of properties and a decrease in valuation provisions, which reflect the continued improvement in overall asset quality. The $439,000, or 41.1%, decrease in intangible amortization was primarily due to core deposit intangible assets, which are amortized on an accelerated basis.

54

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the first six months of 2014 was $27.7 million, a $2.8 million, or 11.3%, increase from $24.9 million in 2013.
The Corporation’s effective tax rate was 25.4% in 2014 , as compared to 23.8% in 2013 . The effective rate is generally lower than the Federal statutory rate of 35% due to investments in tax-free municipal securities and tax credits earned from investments in partnerships that generate such credits under various federal programs. The increase in the effective tax rate in comparison to the first six months of 2013 was due primarily to a $1.7 million ($1.1 million, net of federal tax) decrease in the valuation allowance for certain state deferred tax assets that was recorded as a credit to income tax expense in 2013.

Cash and due from banks increased $40.3 million, or 18.4%. Because of daily fluctuations that result in the normal course of business, cash is more appropriately analyzed in terms of average balances. On an average balance basis, cash and due from banks decreased $16.2 million, or 7.4%, from $219.2 million for the month of December, 2013 to $203.0 million for the month of June 2014.
Other interest-earning assets
The $57.4 million , or 23.1% , increase in other interest-earning assets was due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits with other banks.

Total investment securities decreased $70.7 million , or 2.8% , in comparison to December 31, 2013 , mainly in collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities, as portfolio cash flows were not fully reinvested due to relatively low yields on current investment options. Cash flows that were reinvested during the first half of 2014 were used to purchase securities with average lives of approximately five years to provide for more structured cash flows, thereby limiting price and extension risk in a rising interest rate environment. State and municipal securities decreased primarily due to maturities that were not fully reinvested. The decrease in ARCs was primarily due to the sales of securities with a total book value of $11.9 million , resulting in no gain or loss.
The net pre-tax unrealized gain on available for sale investment securities was $1.3 million as of June 30, 2014 , compared to a $39.8 million pre-tax unrealized loss as of December 31, 2013 . The $41.1 million increase in investment portfolio value was due to a decrease in market interest rates, which caused the fair values of collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities to increase.

The Corporation does not have a concentration of credit risk with any single borrower, industry or geographical location. The maximum total lending commitment to an individual borrower was $39.0 million as of June 30, 2014 , which is below the Corporation's maximum lending limit. As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation had 60 relationships with total borrowing commitments between $20.0 million and $39.0 million.
Approximately $5.8 billion , or 44.9% , of the loan portfolio was in commercial mortgage and construction loans as of June 30, 2014 . The performance of these loans can be adversely impacted by fluctuations in real estate values. The Corporation limits its maximum non-owner occupied commercial real estate exposure to $28.0 million to any one borrower, and limits its exposure to any one development project to $15.0 million.

57

Construction loans include loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by commercial real estate and other construction loans, which represent loans to individuals secured by residential real estate.

Construction loans increased $60.3 million , or 10.5% , in comparison to December 31, 2013 . Geographically, the increase in construction loans was in the Pennsylvania ($30.6 million, or 10.6%) and Maryland ($24.6 million or 40.2%) markets.
The $26.7 million , or 0.7% , decrease in commercial loans was due to a decrease in the Pennsylvania ($62.4 million, or 2.4%) market, partially offset by increases in the New Jersey ($31.4 million, or 6.3%) and Virginia ($12.2 million, or 8.5%) markets.

with the Corporation's underwriting policies. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , none of the shared national credits were past due.
The $24.6 million, or 1.8% increase in residential mortgages was due to the retention of certain 15-year fixed rate mortgages in the portfolio instead of selling those mortgages to third-party investors.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Corporation's provision for credit losses decreased $10.0 million , or 74.1% , and $22.5 million , or 78.9% , respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2013 . The decreases in the provision for credit losses were due to improvements in credit quality, as shown by a reduction in non-performing loans and overall delinquency.

59

Net charge-offs decreased $ 8.3 million , or 47.9% , to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 , compared to $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 . The decrease in net charge-offs was primarily due to a $3.4 million , or 77.4%, decrease in residential mortgage net charge-offs, a $2.0 million , or 53.6% , decrease in commercial mortgage net charge-offs and a $1.8 million , or 96.8% , decrease in real estate - construction net charge-offs. Of the $9.1 million of net charge-offs recorded in the second quarter of 2014 , 65.8% were for loans originated in Pennsylvania and 24.6% were for loans originated in New Jersey.
During the first half 2014 , net charge-offs decreased $18.8 million , or 51.9% , to $17.5 million for the first half of 2014 compared to $36.3 million for the same period of 2013 . The decrease in net charge-offs was primarily due to a $5.6 million , or 76.6% , decrease in residential mortgage net charge-offs, a $5.2 million , or 36.4% , decrease in commercial loan net charge-offs and a $3.7 million or 54.8% , decrease in commercial mortgage net charge-offs.

The Corporation's ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner is important to maintaining an adequate allowance for credit losses. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used to monitor credit quality. For a description of the Corporation's risk ratings, see Note E, "Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The evaluation of credit risk for residential mortgages, home equity loans, construction loans to individuals, consumer loans and lease receivables is based on aggregate payment history, through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends.
Total internally risk rated loans were $9.3 billion as of June 30, 2014 and $9.2 billion as of December 31, 2013 . The following table presents internal risk ratings for commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers with internal risk ratings of Special Mention (considered criticized loans) or Substandard or lower (considered classified loans), by class segment:

Interest-bearing demand accounts decreased $89.7 million , or 3.0% , primarily due to a $129.9 million, or 12.0%, seasonal decrease in municipal account balances partially offset by a $40.0 million, or 36.7%, increase in business account balances. The $6.9 million , or 0.2% ,decrease in savings account balances was due to a $53.0 million, or 7.0%, decrease in business account balances, partially offset by a $38.5 million, or 1.8%, increase in personal account balances. The $98.1 million , or 3.4% , increase in time deposits was due to an increase in time deposits with original maturities of 4 to 5 years due to promotional efforts intended to lock in longer-term rates.

The $250.3 million decrease in total short-term borrowings was primarily the result of a $202.5 million increase in deposits.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities increased $25.4 million , or 10.7% , in comparison to December 31, 2013 . The Corporation had $25.6 million of investment securities purchases executed prior to June 30, 2014 , which had not settled at the end of the quarter, compared to $6.2 million of such payables as of December 31, 2013 . Also contributing to the decrease in other liabilities was a reduction in reserves associated with the potential repurchase of previously sold residential mortgages.
Shareholders' Equity
Total shareholders’ equity increased $36.6 million , or 1.8% , during the first six months of 2014 . The increase was due primarily to $81.4 million of net income and a $26.7 million increase in after-tax unrealized holding gains on available for sale investment securities, partially offset by $49.8 million of stock repurchases and $30.2 million of dividends on shares outstanding.
In October 2013, the Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation was authorized to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares, or approximately 2.1% of its outstanding shares, through March 2014. During the first quarter of 2014, the Corporation repurchased 4.0 million shares at an average cost of $12.45 per share, completing this repurchase program on February 19, 2014.
In May 2014 , the Corporation announced that its board of directors had approved a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation was authorized to repurchase up to 4.0 million shares, or approximately 2.1% of its outstanding shares, through December 31, 2014 . No shares were repurchased under this repurchase program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , however, the Corporation intends to complete the share repurchase program by the end of the third quarter of 2014, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors.
The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by various banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. The regulations require that banks maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined).
As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation and each of its bank subsidiaries met the minimum requirements. In addition, each of the Corporation’s bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered "well capitalized" as defined in the regulations.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved final rules (the "U.S. Basel III Capital Rules") establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's December 2010 framework for strengthening international capital standards. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions.
The new minimum regulatory capital requirements established by the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules are effective for the Corporation beginning on January 1, 2015, and become fully phased in on January 1, 2019.
When fully phased in, the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules will require the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries to:
•
Meet a new minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;
•
Continue to require the current minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and the minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets;
•
Maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments; and
•
Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses as a result of which certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities, will be excluded as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Corporation's size.
The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expand the risk-weightings for assets and off balance sheet exposures from the current 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset categories.
As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation believes its current capital levels would meet the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules.
Liquidity
The Corporation must maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet the cash needs of its customers who, as depositors, may want to withdraw funds or who, as borrowers, need credit availability. Liquidity is provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments on outstanding loans and investments and through the availability of deposits and borrowings. The Corporation also maintains secondary sources that provide liquidity on a secured and unsecured basis to meet short-term and long-term needs.

The Corporation maintains liquidity sources in the form of demand and savings deposits, time deposits, repurchase agreements and short-term promissory notes. The Corporation can access additional liquidity from these sources, if necessary, by increasing interest rates. The positive impact to liquidity resulting from higher interest rates could have a detrimental impact on the net interest margin and net income if rates on interest-earning assets do not have a corresponding increase.
Borrowing availability with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank, along with Federal funds lines at various correspondent banks, provides the Corporation with additional liquidity.
Each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks is a member of the FHLB and has access to FHLB overnight and term credit facilities. As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation had $923.7 million of short and long-term advances outstanding from the FHLB with an additional borrowing capacity of approximately $1.7 billion under these facilities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by qualifying commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, investments and other assets.

65

As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation had aggregate availability under Federal funds lines of $1.6 billion, with $384.0 million of that amount outstanding. A combination of commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and securities are pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to provide access to Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window borrowings. As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation had $1.2 billion of collateralized borrowing availability at the Discount Window, and no outstanding borrowings.
Liquidity must also be managed at the Fulton Financial Corporation parent company level. For safety and soundness reasons, banking regulations limit the amount of cash that can be transferred from subsidiary banks to the parent company in the form of loans and dividends. Generally, these limitations are based on the subsidiary banks’ regulatory capital levels and their net income. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and capital needs of the parent company and will implement appropriate strategies, as necessary, to remain adequately capitalized and to meet its cash needs.
The Corporation’s sources and uses of funds were discussed in general terms in the net interest income section of Management’s Discussion. The consolidated statements of cash flows provide additional information. The Corporation’s operating activities during the first six months of 2014 generated $94.4 million of cash, mainly due to net income, as adjusted for non-cash expenses, most notably depreciation and amortization of premises and equipment and a net increase in other liabilities, partially offset by net decrease in loans held for sale. Cash used in investing activities was $14.8 million , due mainly to an increase in loans and a net increase in short-term investments, partially offset by proceeds from the maturities and sales of investment securities in excess of purchases. Net cash used by financing activities was $39.3 million due to a net decrease in short-term borrowings, acquisitions of treasury stock and dividends paid on common shares, partially offset by increases in deposits and long-term debt.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include interest rate risk, equity market price risk, debt security market price risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, only equity market price risk, debt security market price risk and interest rate risk are significant to the Corporation.
Equity Market Price Risk
Equity market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of equity investments could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. As of June 30, 2014 , equity investments consisted of $40.2 million of common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions, and $6.0 million of other equity investments.
The equity investments most susceptible to equity market price risk are the financial institutions stocks, which had a cost basis of approximately $28.5 million and a fair value of $40.2 million at June 30, 2014 , including an investment in a single financial institution with a cost basis of $20.0 million and a fair value of $28.2 million . The fair value of this investment accounted for 70.2% of the fair value of the common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions. No other investment within the financial institutions stock portfolio exceeded 5% of the portfolio's fair value. In total, the financial institutions stock portfolio had gross unrealized gains of $11.8 million and gross unrealized losses of $5,000 as of June 30, 2014 .
Management continuously monitors the fair value of its equity investments and evaluates current market conditions and operating results of the issuers. Periodic sale and purchase decisions are made based on this monitoring process. None of the Corporation’s equity securities are classified as trading.
In addition to its equity portfolio, investment management and trust services income may be impacted by fluctuations in the equity markets. A portion of this revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios, many of which include equity investments. If the values of those investment portfolios decrease, whether due to factors influencing U.S. equity markets in general or otherwise, the Corporation’s revenue would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Corporation’s ability to sell its brokerage services in the future will be dependent, in part, upon consumers’ level of confidence in financial markets.

Debt Security Market Price Risk
Debt security market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of debt securities, unrelated to interest rate changes, could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation’s debt security investments consist primarily of U.S. government sponsored agency issued mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal securities, U.S. government debt securities, auction rate securities and corporate debt securities. All of the Corporation's investments in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have principal payments that are guaranteed by U.S. government sponsored agencies.
Municipal Securities
As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation had $269.8 million of securities issued by various municipalities. Ongoing uncertainty with respect to the financial strength of municipal bond insurers places much greater emphasis on the underlying strength of issuers. Continued pressure on local tax revenues of issuers due to adverse economic conditions could have an adverse impact on the underlying credit quality of issuers. The Corporation evaluates existing and potential holdings primarily based on the creditworthiness of the issuing municipality and then, to a lesser extent, on any underlying credit enhancement. Municipal securities can be supported by the general obligation of the issuing municipality, allowing the securities to be repaid by any means available to the issuing municipality. As of June 30, 2014 , approximately 95% of municipal securities were supported by the general obligation of corresponding municipalities. Approximately 86% of these securities were school district issuances, which are also supported by the states of the issuing municipalities.

67

Auction Rate Certificates
As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation’s investments in student loan auction rate certificates (ARCs), had a cost basis of $158.5 million and a fair value of $146.9 million .
ARCs are long-term securities that were structured to allow their sale in periodic auctions, resulting in both the treatment of ARCs as short-term instruments in normal market conditions and fair values that could be derived based on periodic auction prices. However, beginning in 2008, market auctions for these securities began to fail due to an insufficient number of buyers, resulting in an illiquid market. This illiquidity has resulted in recent market prices that represent forced liquidations or distressed sales and do not provide an accurate basis for fair value. Therefore, as of June 30, 2014 , the fair values of the ARCs were derived using significant unobservable inputs based on an expected cash flows model which produced fair values which were materially different from those that would be expected from settlement of these investments in the illiquid market that presently exists. The expected cash flows model, prepared by a third-party valuation expert, produced fair values which assumed a return to market liquidity sometime within the next five years. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid.
The credit quality of the underlying debt associated with ARCs is also a factor in the determination of their estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2014 , approximately $143 million , or 97% , of the ARCs were rated above investment grade, with approximately $6 million , or 4% , AAA rated and $102 million , or 70% , AA rated. Approximately $4 million , or 3% , of ARCs were either not rated or rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency. Of this amount, approximately $3 million , or 59% , of the student loans underlying these ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. In total, approximately $145 million , or 99% , of the student loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. As of June 30, 2014 , all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments.

Corporate Debt Securities
The Corporation holds corporate debt securities in the form of pooled trust preferred securities, single-issuer trust preferred securities and subordinated debt issued by financial institutions, as presented in the following table as of June 30, 2014 :

The fair values for pooled trust preferred securities and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities were based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers.

The Corporation’s investments in single-issuer trust preferred securities had an unrealized loss of $4.3 million at June 30, 2014 . The Corporation did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges for single-issuer trust preferred securities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013 . Six of the Corporation's 20 single-issuer trust preferred securities were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with an amortized cost of $13.5 million and an estimated fair value of $12.1 million as of June 30, 2014 . All of the single-issuer trust preferred securities rated below investment grade were rated BB or Ba. Single-issuer trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $4.7 million and an estimated fair value of $3.8 million at June 30, 2014 were not rated by any ratings agency.
As of June 30, 2014 , all six of the Corporation's pooled trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $2.1 million and an estimated fair value of $4.3 million , were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with ratings ranging from C to Ca. The class of securities held by the Corporation was below the most senior tranche, with the Corporation’s interests being subordinate to other investors in the pools.
The amortized cost of pooled trust preferred securities is the purchase price of the securities, net of cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges, determined using an expected cash flows model. The most significant input to the expected cash flows model was the expected payment deferral rate for each pooled trust preferred security. The Corporation evaluates the financial metrics, such as capital ratios and non-performing asset ratios, of the individual financial institution issuers that comprise each pooled trust preferred security to estimate its expected deferral rate.

Interest Rate Risk, Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity
Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of its equity.
The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO), consisting of key financial and senior management personnel, meets on a regular basis. The ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, approving asset and liability management policies, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.
From a liquidity standpoint, the Corporation must maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet the cash needs of its customers, who, as depositors, may want to withdraw funds or who, as borrowers, need credit availability. Liquidity is provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments on outstanding loans and investments and through the availability of deposits and borrowings. The Corporation also maintains secondary sources that provide liquidity on a secured and unsecured basis to meet short-term and long-term needs.

(8)
Amounts include Federal Funds purchased, short-term promissory notes and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which mature in less than 90 days, in addition to junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures.
The preceding table and discussion addressed the liquidity implications of interest rate risk and focused on expected cash flows from financial instruments. Expected maturities, however, do not necessarily reflect the net interest impact of interest rate changes. Certain financial instruments, such as adjustable rate loans, have repricing periods that differ from expected cash flows periods.
Included within the $9.8 billion of floating rate loans above are $3.6 billion of loans, or 36.5% of the total, that float with the prime interest rate, $1.9 billion, or 19.0%, of loans that float with other interest rates, primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and $4.3 billion, or 44.5%, of adjustable rate loans. The $4.3 billion of adjustable rate loans include loans that are fixed rate instruments for a certain period of time, and then convert to floating rates.

The Corporation uses three complementary methods to measure and manage interest rate risk. They are static gap analysis, simulation of net interest income, and estimates of economic value of equity. Using these measurements in tandem provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the magnitude of the Corporation's interest rate risk, level of risk as time evolves, and exposure to changes in interest rates.
Static gap provides a measurement of repricing risk in the Corporation’s balance sheet as of a point in time. This measurement is accomplished through stratification of assets and liabilities into repricing periods. The sum of assets and liabilities in each of these periods are compared for mismatches within that maturity segment. Core deposits having no contractual maturities are placed into repricing periods based upon historical balance performance. Repricing for mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is based upon industry projections for prepayment speeds. The Corporation’s policy limits the cumulative six-month ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities (RSA/RSL) to a range of 0.85 to 1.15. As of June 30, 2014 , the cumulative six-month ratio of RSA/RSL was 1.15.
Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next twelve-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. The Corporation’s policy limits the potential exposure of net interest income, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case net interest income for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 15% for a 200 basis point shock and 20% for a 300 basis point shock. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in customer behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor do they account for competitive pricing over the forward 12-month period.
The following table summarizes the expected impact of interest rate shocks on net interest income (due to the current level of interest rates, the 200 and 300 basis point downward shock scenarios are not shown):
Rate Shock (1)
Annual change
in net interest income
% Change
+300 bp
+ $ 47.8 million
+9.4%
+200 bp
+ $ 28.3 million
+5.6
+100 bp
+ $ 9.5 million
+1.9
–100 bp
– $ 16.8 million
–3.3
(1)
These results include the effect of implicit and explicit floors that limit further reduction in interest rates.

Economic value of equity estimates the discounted present value of asset cash flows and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for like assets and liabilities. Upward and downward shocks of interest rates are used to determine the comparative effect of such interest rate movements relative to the unchanged environment. This measurement tool is used primarily to evaluate the longer-term repricing risks and options in the Corporation’s balance sheet. The Corporation's policy limits the economic value of equity that may be at risk, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case economic value of equity for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 20% for a 200 basis point shock and 30% for a 300 basis point shock. As of June 30, 2014 , the Corporation was within policy limits for every 100 basis point shock.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Corporation reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business of the Corporation. The Corporation periodically evaluates the possible impact of pending litigation matters based on, among other factors, the advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and recorded liabilities and reserves for probable legal liabilities and costs. In addition, from time to time, the Corporation is the subject of investigations or other forms of regulatory or governmental inquiry covering a range of possible issues and, in some cases, these may be part of similar reviews of the specified activities of other industry participants. These inquiries could lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings, and could possibly result in fines, penalties, restitution or the need to alter the Corporation’s business practices, and cause the Corporation to incur additional costs. The Corporation’s practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental investigations.
As of the date of this report, the Corporation believes that any liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, which may result from the final outcomes of pending proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, the operating results and/or the liquidity of the Corporation. However, legal proceedings are often unpredictable, and the actual results of such proceedings cannot be determined with certainty.
Regulatory Matters

In July 2014, three wholly owned banking subsidiaries of the Corporation, Fulton Bank, N.A., Swineford National Bank and FNB Bank, N.A., each entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order (Consent Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency relating to identified deficiencies in a centralized Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program, which was designed to comply with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and related anti-money laundering regulations (collectively, the "BSA/AML Requirements") as disclosed by the Corporation in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 18, 2014 (Form 8-K).   The Consent Orders require, among other things that the banking subsidiaries in question review, assess and take actions to strengthen and enhance their compliance programs related to the BSA/AML Requirements (BSA/AML Compliance Program). In addition, the Form 8-K disclosed that the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank (Lafayette), anticipate that they will enter into a consent cease and desist order (Cease and Desist Order) with their primary Federal bank regulatory agency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the near future. It is anticipated that the Cease and Desist Order will require the Corporation and Lafayette to strengthen the BSA/AML Compliance Program and will impose requirements similar to those set forth in the Consent Orders. Further, because the Consent Orders and the anticipated Cease and Desist Order relate to the BSA/AML Compliance Program, which is operated jointly for all of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks, the Corporation anticipates that one or more of the Corporation’s other subsidiary banks may also become the subject or subjects of a regulatory enforcement action related to the BSA/AML Requirements, and the provisions of any such enforcement action may differ from those of the Consent Orders.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The discussion under the heading “Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management Matters” contained in Part I, Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, supplements and modifies the discussion of the risk factor “The supervision and regulation to which the Corporation is subject is increasing and can be a competitive disadvantage; the Corporation may incur fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, including inadvertent or unintentional violations” as set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no other material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 .
