SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011 for Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”).

Principles of Consolidation: The Corporation considers that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for these periods have been made. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements of Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation are prepared on the accrual basis and include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peapack-Gladstone Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, Management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
7


Loans: Loans are considered past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms. The accrual of income on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued if, in the opinion of Management, principal or interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, or when principal or interest is past 90 days or more and collateral, if any, is insufficient to cover principal and interest. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Commercial loans are generally charged off after an analysis is completed which indicates that collectability of the full principal balance is in doubt. Consumer loans are generally charged off after they become 120 days past due. Subsequent payments are credited to income only if collection of principal is not in doubt. If principal and interest payments are brought contractually current and future collectability is reasonably assured, loans are returned to accrual status. Mortgage loans are generally charged off when the value of the underlying collateral does not cover the outstanding principal balance. The majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in Management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component of the allowance relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and are evaluated for impairment. Factors considered by Management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All loans are individually evaluated for impairment when loans are classified as substandard by Management. If a loan is considered impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral less estimated disposition costs if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment while they are performing assets. If and when a residential mortgage is placed on nonaccrual status and in the process of collection, such as through a foreclosure action then they are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis and the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs.

A troubled debt restructuring is a renegotiated loan with concessions made by the lender to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposition costs.  For
8

troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component of the allowance covers un-impaired loans and is based primarily on the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation on a weighted average basis over the previous two years.  This actual loss experience is adjusted by other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

In determining an appropriate amount for the allowance, the Bank segments and evaluates the loan portfolio based on Federal call report codes.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Corporation has stock option plans that allow the granting of shares of the Corporation’s common stock as incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The options granted under these plans are exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant and expire not more than ten years after the date of grant.  Stock options may vest during a period of up to five years after the date of grant.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation recorded total compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements of $107 thousand and $75 thousand respectively, with a recognized tax benefit of $18 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $12 thousand for the March 31, 2010 quarter.

There was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Corporation’s stock incentive plans at March 31, 2011.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

For the Corporation’s stock option plans, changes in options outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2011 were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Corporation’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options).  The Corporation’s closing stock price on March 31, 2011 was $13.26; therefore, there was almost no intrinsic value in the stock options outstanding at that date.

There were no stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the first three months of 2011 and 2010 for all plans was $8.99 and $8.32, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected life

Risk-free interest rate
2.02 % 2.92 %

In January 2010 and 2011, the Corporation issued 55,993 shares restricted stock awards and 28,732 shares , respectively at a fair value equal to the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of the grant. The awards fully vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation recorded total compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements of $58 thousand and $38 thousand respectively.

As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted under the Corporation’s stock incentive plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Earnings per Common Share – Basic and Diluted: The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted net income per common share is computed similarly to that of basic net income per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options, were issued during the reporting period utilizing the Treasury stock method.

Stock options and warrants with an exercise price below the Corporation’s market price equal to 731,838 and 743,878 shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, because they were antidilutive to the earnings per share calculation.

Income Taxes: The Corporation files a consolidated Federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns for each subsidiary based on current laws and regulations.

The Corporation is no longer subject to examination by the U.S. Federal tax authorities for years prior to 2007 or by New Jersey tax authorities for years prior to 2006.

The Corporation recognizes interest related to income tax matters as interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as other expense.  The Corporation did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at March 31, 2011.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and the change during the period in the Corporation’s net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale during the applicable period of time less adjustments for realized gains and losses and net amortization of the unrealized loss on securities transferred to held to maturity from available for sale.  Total comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2011 was $2.1 million as compared to total comprehensive income of $2.2 million for the same quarter in 2010.

Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior periods’ financial statements in order to conform to the 2011 presentation.

The trust preferred pooled securities within the Corporation’s held to maturity investment portfolio are collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by individual bank holding companies, but also by insurance companies and real estate investment trusts. There has been little or no active trading in these securities for several years; therefore the Corporation believes in most cases it is more appropriate to estimate fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. As of December 31, 2008, to estimate fair value, and determine whether the securities were other-than-temporarily impaired, the Corporation retained and worked with a third party to review the issuers (the collateral) underlying each of the securities. Among the factors analyzed were the issuers’ profitability, credit quality, asset mix, capital adequacy, leverage and liquidity position, as well as an overall assessment of credit, profitability and capital trends within the portfolio’s issuer universe. These factors provided an assessment of the portion of the collateral of each security which was likely to default in future periods. The cash flows associated with the collateral likely to default, together with the cash flows associated with collateral which had already deferred or defaulted, were then eliminated. In addition, the Corporation assumed constant rates of default in excess of those based upon the historic performance of the underlying collateral. The resulting cash flows were then discounted to the current period to determine fair value for each security. The discount rate utilized was based on a risk-free rate (LIBOR) plus spreads appropriate for the product, which include consideration of liquidity and credit uncertainty.

Each quarter since December 2008, to periodically assess the credit assumptions and related input data that could affect the fair value of each security, Management compared actual deferrals and defaults to the assumed deferrals and defaults included in the valuation model.
12

As of each year end since December 2008, the Corporation again worked with a third party to model the securities and review its valuation.  The modeling process and related assumptions were similar to the process and related assumptions employed as of December 31, 2008. In 2010, as a result of this process additional impairment charges of $581 thousand were recorded on three trust preferred pooled securities for the year ended December 31, 2010. No additional impairment charges were recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Further significant downturns in the real estate markets and/or the economy could cause additional issuers to defer paying dividends on these securities and/or ultimately default. Such occurrences, if beyond those assumed in the current valuation, could cause an additional write-down of the portfolio, with a negative impact on earnings; however, the Corporation has already recorded a substantial write-down of its trust preferred pooled securities portfolio. We do not expect that an additional write-down would have a material effect on the cash flows from the securities or on our liquidity position.

At March 31, 2011, other-than-temporary impairment recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $3.0 million.

Management has determined that any unrecognized losses on the mortgage-backed securities and state or municipal securities held to maturity at March 31, 2011, are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions, rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers.  The Corporation monitors creditworthiness of issuers periodically, including issuers of trust preferred securities on a quarterly basis.  The Corporation does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

Management believes that the unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale are temporary and due to interest rate fluctuations and/or volatile market conditions rather than the creditworthiness of the issuers.  The Corporation does not intend to sell these securities nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery; however, Management also closely monitors market conditions and may sell the securities if it determines it would be beneficial to do so.
At March 31, 2011, the unrealized loss on the other securities is related to two single-issuer trust preferred securities. The largest portion of the unrealized loss, $688 thousand, is related to a security issued by a large bank holding company that has experienced declines in all its securities due to the turmoil in the financial markets and a merger. The security continues to be rated investment grade by Moody’s. Additionally, at March 31, 2011, the fair value of this security has improved from the fair value at December 31, 2010. It is not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. The other trust preferred security was issued by a large community bank that recorded a profit in its most recent reporting period and was considered well capitalized. It was determined that the credit risk associated with this security is minimal and that the unrealized loss is due to its type, as trust preferred securities remain out of favor with investors.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis includes all commercial loans with an outstanding balance of $150 thousand or more.  The risk rating analysis of loans is performed (i) when the loan is initially underwritten, (ii) annually for loans in excess of $500,000, (iii) on a random quarterly basis from either internal reviews with the Senior Credit Officer or externally through an independent loan review firm, or (iv) whenever management otherwise identifies a potentially negative trend or issue relating to a borrower. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans subject to special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loans or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weakness inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.  Loans listed as not rated are either less than $150 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans.  As of March 31, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Corporation assesses its results among two operating segments, Banking and PGB Trust and Investments.  Management uses certain methodologies to allocate income and expense to the business segments.  A funds transfer pricing methodology is used to assign interest income and interest expense.  Certain indirect expenses are allocated to segments.  These include support unit expenses such as technology and operations and other support functions.  Taxes are allocated to each segment based on the effective rate for the period shown.

Banking

The Banking segment includes commercial, commercial real estate, residential and consumer lending activities; deposit generation; operation of ATMs; telephone and internet banking services; merchant credit card services and customer support and sales.

PGB Trust & Investments

PGB Trust & Investments includes asset management services provided for individuals and institutions; personal trust services, including services as executor, trustee, administrator, custodian and guardian; corporate trust services including services as trustee for pension and profit sharing plans; and other financial planning and advisory services.

FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1:       Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:       Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:       Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used, if available, to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.
Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest-earning deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable-rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed-rate loans or deposits and for variable-rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk, including consideration of credit spreads. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB or FRB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material or is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.

PREFERRED STOCK

On January 9, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Corporation sold 28,685 shares of the Corporation’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 150,295 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, no par value at an exercise price of $28.63 per share, after adjusting for the five percent stock dividend declared on June 18, 2009, for an aggregate purchase price of $28.7 million in cash.  The aggregate purchase price was allocated $1.6 million to warrants and $27.1 million to preferred stock.

Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Shares will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5 percent per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9 percent per annum thereafter.  Subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Corporation at 100 percent of their liquidation preference.  If the Corporation redeems the Preferred Stock and the Treasury still owns the warrant, the Corporation could repurchase the Warrant from the Treasury for its fair market value.  Unless both the holder and the Corporation agree otherwise, the exercise of the Warrant will be a net exercise (i.e., the holder does not pay cash but gives up shares with a market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price, resulting in a net settlement with significantly fewer than the 150,295 shares of Common Stock being issued).

The Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Preferred Shares and the Warrant were sold, contains limitations on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock, including with respect to the payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.16 per share, which was the amount of the last regular dividend declared by the Corporation prior to October 14, 2008 and on the Corporation’s ability to repurchase its Common Stock.  The Corporation is also subject to certain executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”).

On January 6, 2010, the Corporation redeemed 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $51 thousand.  The Corporation’s redemption of the shares was not subject to additional conditions or stipulations from the Treasury.  As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $330 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2010.

On March 2, 2011, the Corporation redeemed an additional 25 percent of the original preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP, repaying approximately $7.2 million to the Treasury, including accrued and unpaid dividends of approximately $15 thousand. The Corporation’s redemption of the shares was not subject to additional conditions or stipulations from the Treasury.  As a result of the repurchase, the accretion related to the preferred stock was accelerated and approximately $246 thousand was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2011.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL: The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are not historical facts and include expressions about management’s view of future interest income and net loans, management’s confidence and strategies and management’s expectations about new and existing programs and products, relationships, opportunities and market conditions.  These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect”, “look”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “may”, “will”, or similar statements or variations of such terms.  Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, those risk factors identified in the Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the following:

·
a continued or unexpected decline in the economy, in particular in our New Jersey market area;
·
declines in value in our investment portfolio;
·
higher than expected increases in our allowance for loan losses;
·
higher than expected increases in loan losses or in the level of nonperforming loans;
·
unexpected changes in interest rates;
·
inability to successfully grow our business;
·
inability to manage our growth;
·
a continued or unexpected decline in real estate values within our market areas;
·
legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations) subject us to additional regulatory oversight which may result in increased compliance costs;
·
higher than expected FDIC insurance premiums;
·
lack of liquidity to fund our various cash obligations;
·
repurchase of our preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program which will impact net income available to our common shareholders and our earnings per share;
·
reduction in our lower-cost funding sources;
·
our inability to adapt to technological changes;
·
claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, environmental laws and other matters; and
·
other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings.

The Corporation assumes no responsibility to update such forward-looking statements in the future.  Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Corporation cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  Note 1 to the Corporation’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, contains a summary of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies.

Management believes that the Corporation’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters.  Changes in these judgments, assumption or estimates could materially impact results of operations.  This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions.  Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.  Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Corporation to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination.  Furthermore, the majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey.  Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Corporation’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may be adversely affected should real estate values continue to decline or New Jersey experiences continuing adverse economic conditions.  Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.

The Corporation accounts for its securities in accordance with “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” which was codified into ASC 320. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayment, risk, liquidity or other factors.  Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

For declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary, the amount of impairment is split into two components – other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income and other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.  In estimating other-than-temporary losses on a quarterly basis, management considers the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and whether the Corporation has the intent to sell these securities or it is likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

Securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether a decline in their values is other-than-temporary. To determine whether a loss in value is other-than-temporary, management utilizes criteria such as the reasons underlying the decline, the magnitude and the duration of the decline and whether the Corporation intends to sell or is likely to be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. “Other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. The Corporation recognized no other-than-temporary impairment charges in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: For the first quarter of 2011, the Corporation recorded net income of $2.14 million, an increase of $16 thousand compared to the same quarter of 2010.  Diluted earnings per common share, after giving effect for the preferred dividend, were $0.18 in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $0.16 per diluted share for the same quarter of 2010.  The increase in 2011 earnings per share was primarily due to a decline in the dividends and accretion on preferred stock as a result of the 2010 redemption of 25 percent of the preferred shares issued under the Treasury’s CPP. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, annualized return on average assets for the quarter was 0.57 percent and annualized return on average common equity was 6.44 percent.

Net interest income, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was $12.4 million and $12.7 million for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  For the first quarter of 2011, the net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis, was 3.54 percent as compared to 3.67 percent for the same three month period in 2010.

Average loans equaled $937.1 million for the first quarter of 2011, declining $41.4 million or 4.2 percent from $978.5 million for the same quarter of 2010.  The yield on loans was 5.01 percent and 5.31 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflecting a decline of 30 basis points from the 2010 quarter to the 2011 quarter.

For the first quarter of 2011, average deposits were $1.34 billion, rising $22.6 million or 1.7 percent over the levels of the first quarter of 2010.  Average costs of interest-bearing deposits declined 42 basis points to 0.63 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 1.05 percent for the same three-month period in 2010.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME: The Corporation recorded net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, of $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $12.7 million for the same quarter of 2010, a decline of $367 thousand or 2.9 percent. The net interest margin was 3.54 percent and 3.67 percent, for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflecting a decline of 13 basis points. Rates are lower on new investments and loans, compared to the rates of investments and loans that are maturing or paying down. Additionally, growth in lower yielding, but shorter duration investment securities coupled with lower loan balances contributed to the reduced margin. At the same time, the Corporation continues to lower funding costs as certificates of deposits reprice at lower market rates or are transferred to other, lower-costing deposit products.

Average investments, federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits totaled $461.7 million in the first quarter of 2011, reflecting an increase of $53.7 million, or 13.2 percent, from the same period in 2010.  The growth in these categories is primarily the result of loan and mortgage-backed security principal pay downs which exceeded loan demand and, to a lesser extent, deposit inflows.

Loans averaged $937.1 million for the first quarter of 2011, declining $41.4 million, or 4.2 percent, when compared to the first three months of 2010. Although the Corporation continues to originate mortgages to maintain in its portfolio, loan sales and payments have outpaced originations, resulting in a decline in the average residential mortgage loan portfolio of $19.9 million or 4.4 percent when comparing the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2010. The average commercial mortgage loan portfolio was
31

$285.6 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of $4.6 million or 1.6 percent, from $281.0 million for the same year ago period. For the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, the commercial loan portfolio averaged $132.0 million and $122.7 million, respectively, rising $9.3 million, or 7.5 percent, from the first quarter of 2010.  The commercial construction portfolio has declined $36.3 million, or 60.4 percent, to $23.8 million, due to the conversion of some loans to permanent loans and also to the resolution of some problem loans. The average home equity portfolio totaled $46.0 million for the first three months of 2011 as compared to $39.1 million for the same three months of 2010, an increase of $6.9 million or 17.5 percent.  The Corporation has focused on the origination of these higher-yielding, shorter-maturity loans during the past year.  The Corporation seeks to lend to quality borrowers in all loan categories; however, in the past two years, loan demand from quality borrowers has been scarce and loan pay downs have outpaced originations in almost all categories.

For the first three months of 2011, total deposits averaged $1.34 billion, increasing $22.6 million, or 1.7 percent, when compared to $1.32 billion for the same period in 2010. Interest-bearing checking accounts for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 averaged $298.0 million and $238.3 million, respectively, an increase of $59.7 million, or 25.1 percent. For the first quarter of 2011, non-interest bearing demand deposits averaged $222.4 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 4.3 percent, when compared to the same quarter of 2010. Checking growth is attributable to the Corporation’s continual focus on business and personal core deposit growth coupled with the Corporation’s recent focus on select municipalities within its branch market areas. Money market accounts increased $27.8 million to an average of $522.5 million for the first three months of 2011 as compared to an average of $494.7 million for the same period in 2010. In a lower or uncertain interest rate environment, certain customers tend to deposit funds in money market accounts to wait for higher or a more certain rate environment, resulting in increases to the money market balances. Average savings accounts totaled $82.2 million for the first quarter of 2011, increasing $7.0 million, or 9.3 percent, since the same quarter of 2010. Certificates of deposit averaged $219.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, declining $86.3 million, or 28.2 percent, from the average of $305.7 million for the same quarter of 2010. The Corporation has opted not to pay higher rates on maturing certificates of deposit, resulting in the decline in this type of deposit. The Corporation believes it has ample liquidity from core deposits, principal pay downs on loans and maturing or called investments. Overnight borrowings averaged $586 thousand for the first quarter of 2011, while there were no overnight borrowings for the same quarter of the prior year. Average borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $12.2 million to $24.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period a year ago, as borrowings continue to mature and are not replaced.

On a tax-equivalent basis, average yields on interest-earning assets declined 49 basis points to 4.12 percent for the first quarter of 2011, from 4.61 percent for the same quarter of 2010. For the first three months of 2011, average yields earned on investment securities declined 77 basis points to 2.49 percent as compared to the same period in the prior year. Average yields on the loan portfolio were 5.01 percent and 5.31 percent, for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflecting a 30 basis point decline.

The cost of funds, including the effect of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, was 0.59 percent and 0.96 percent for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, decreasing 37 basis points. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.63 percent for the first quarter of 2011, declining 42 basis points from the same period in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the cost of money market products averaged 0.48 percent, declining 42 basis points, while certificates of deposit costs averaged 1.41 percent, declining 32 basis points, each as compared to the same quarter of 2010.

The effect of the sustained low rate environment on market rates and the Corporation’s repricing of its assets and liabilities contributed to the decline in yields and costs of the Corporation’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities.

OTHER INCOME: Other income, excluding fee income from PGB Trust and Investments, totaled $1.45 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $1.11 million for the same quarter in 2010.  Net securities gains for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $196 thousand.  There were no securities gains in the same quarter of 2010.  Income earned on bank owned life insurance for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 was $251 thousand and $197 thousand, respectively, an increase of $54 thousand or 27.4 percent, which was attributable to higher yields in 2011.  Other income also included a net gain on sale of other real estate owned of $32 thousand for the first quarter of 2011.

OPERATING EXPENSES: For the first quarter of 2011 the Corporation recorded operating expenses of $11.2 million as compared to $10.5 million for the same quarter of 2010.  Salary and benefit expense recorded in each of the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 was $6.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, an increase of $264 thousand or 4.6 percent.  Premises and equipment expenses totaled $2.3 million and $2.4 million for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  FDIC assessment was $604 thousand and $586 thousand in the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Other operating expenses totaled $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of $481 thousand, or 25.8 percent, from the same quarter in 2010.  Costs for the Corporation to keep up with the increased regulatory burden on financial institutions, a new corporate headquarters occupied in June 2010 and a major system upgrade in our Trust Division in May 2010, were partially offset by various operational efficiencies, were the causes of the increased expenses.

PGB TRUST AND INVESTMENTS: PGB Trust and Investments, a division of the Bank, has served in the roles of executor and trustee while providing investment management, custodial, tax, retirement and financial services to its growing client base.  Officers from PGB Trust and Investments are available to provide trust and investment services at the Bank’s new corporate headquarters in Bedminster, New Jersey, and its Clinton, Morristown and Summit, New Jersey branches as well as at an office located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The market value of trust assets under administration for PGB Trust and Investments was approximately $2.00 billion at March 31, 2011.

PGB Trust and Investments generated fee income of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $2.4 million for the same quarter of 2010, an increase of $353 thousand or 14.9 percent.    The increase reflects increased fees due to increased business, as well as an increase in market value of assets under management, on which the investment management fees are based.

While the “Operating Expenses” section above offers an overall discussion of the Corporation’s expenses including the Trust Division, other expenses relative to PGB Trust and Investments were $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $148 thousand or 6.2 percent.  For the first quarter of 2011, salaries and benefits expense declined $95 thousand, or 7.3 percent when compared to the same period in 2010.  Also, during these same time periods, other expenses rose $243 thousand, or 22.4 percent.  A portion of the increased expenses related to a new operating system, which the Division began using in May 2010.

The Trust Division currently generates adequate revenue to support the salaries, benefits and other expenses of the Division; however, Management believes that the Bank generates adequate liquidity to support the expenses of the Division should it be necessary.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS: Other real estate owned (OREO), loans past due in excess of 90 days and still accruing, and non-accrual loans are considered non-performing assets. These assets totaled $22.5 million and $22.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 respectively.  Non-performing loans have increased during the first quarter of 2011 due to one nonaccrual commercial mortgage loan, partially offset by a $3.0 million commercial mortgage loan and a $1.0 million OREO property that was sold in the first quarter of 2011.

(A)  Any troubled debt restructure loans that are on nonaccrual status are only reported in nonaccrual loans and not also in troubled debt restructure loans.
(B)  At March 31, 2011, $26.1 million and at December 31, 2010, $28.4 million of the loans classified substandard were also considered impaired.  In periods prior to December 31, 2010, all loans classified substandard were also considered impaired.

We do not hold, have not made nor invested in subprime loans or “Alt-A” type mortgages.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for loan losses was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to $2.4 million for the same period of 2010.  The amount of the loan loss provision and the level of the allowance for loan losses are based upon a number of factors including Management’s evaluation of probable losses inherent in the portfolio, after consideration of appraised collateral values, financial condition and past credit history of the borrowers as well as prevailing economic conditions.  Commercial credits carry a higher risk profile, which is reflected in Management’s determination of the proper level of the allowance for loan losses.
35

INCOME TAXES: For the first quarter of 2011, income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income was 32 percent as compared to 31 percent for the first quarter of 2010.  Pre-tax income totaled $3.1 million for both the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

CAPITAL RESOURCES: At March 31, 2011, total shareholders’ equity was $112.1 million as compared to $117.7 million at December 31, 2010.  The primary reason for the decrease is the Corporation’s partial redemption of preferred stock previously issued under the U.S. Treasury’s Capital Purchase Plan in March 2011, described fully in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies.  Tier 1 Capital consists of common stock, retained earnings, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries non-cumulative preferred stock, and cumulative preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in the Capital Purchase Program, less goodwill and certain other intangibles.  The remainder of capital may consist of other preferred stock, certain other instruments and a portion of the allowance for loan loss.  At March 31, 2011, the Corporation’s Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios to risk-weighted assets were 12.25 percent and 13.51 percent, respectively, both in excess of the well-capitalized standards of 6.0 percent and 10.0 percent, respectively.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines.  The Corporation’s leverage ratio at March 31, 2011, was 7.59 percent, in excess of the well-capitalized standard of 5.0 percent.

LIQUIDITY: Liquidity refers to an institution’s ability to meet short-term requirements in the form of loan requests, deposit withdrawals and maturing obligations.  Principal sources of liquidity include cash, temporary investments and securities available for sale.

Management believes that the Corporation’s liquidity position is sufficient to meet future needs.  Cash and cash equivalents, interest earning deposits and federal funds sold totaled $49.7 million at March 31, 2011.  In addition, the Corporation has $271.7 million in securities designated as available for sale.  These securities can be sold in response to liquidity concerns or pledged as collateral for borrowings as discussed below.  Carrying value as of March 31, 2011, of investment securities and securities available for sale maturing within one year totals $21.4 million.

The primary source of funds available to meet liquidity needs is the Corporation’s core deposit base, which excludes certificates of deposit greater than $100 thousand.  As of March 31, 2011, core deposits equaled $1.29 billion.

Another source of liquidity is borrowing capacity.  The Corporation has a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, short-term and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and loan participations of sales of loans.  The Corporation also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments made on its mortgage-backed securities and loan portfolios.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include,
36

among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Corporation’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period began to be required for the Corporation’s financial statements that include periods this quarter.

ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) – Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20,” temporarily deferred the effective date for disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings to coincide with the effective date of a proposed accounting standards update related to troubled debt restructurings, which is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2011.


There have been no material changes to information required regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from the end of the preceding fiscal year to the date of the most recent interim financial statements (March 31, 2011).


The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of the Corporation’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on such evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also concluded that there have not been any changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Corporation’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures of our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of a control system reflects resource constraints; the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been or will be detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty that breakdowns occur because of simple error or mistake.  Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.  There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
