Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2010

NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Unity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unity Bank (the "Bank" or when consolidated with the Parent Company, the "Company"), and reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature, and in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. Unity Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, is used to hold part of the Bank’s investment portfolio. Unity Participation Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, is used to hold part of the Bank’s loan portfolio. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation, with no impact on current earnings. The financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and has not been audited. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. As used in this Form 10-Q, “we” and “us” and “our” refer to Unity Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Unity Bank, depending on the context. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Accounting Standards Codification

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

Stock Transactions

The Company has incentive and nonqualified option plans, which allow for the grant of options to officers, employees and members of the Board of Directors. In addition, restricted stock is issued under the stock bonus program to reward employees and directors and to retain them by distributing stock over a period of time.

Stock Option Plans

Grants under the Company’s incentive and nonqualified option plans generally vest over 3 years and must be exercised within 10 years of the date of grant. The exercise price of each option is the market price on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2010, 1,520,529 shares have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options, 874,547 option grants are outstanding, and 643,223 option grants have been exercised, forfeited or expired, leaving 2,759 shares available for grant.

No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” requires an entity to recognize the fair value of equity awards as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for such an award (vesting period). Compensation expense related to stock options totaled $52 thousand and $31 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The related income tax benefit was approximately $21 thousand and $17 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Transactions under the Company’s stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are summarized in the following table:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards granted to date vest over a period of 4 years and are recognized as compensation to the recipient over the vesting period. The awards are recorded at fair market value and amortized into salary expense on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

No restricted stock awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

Compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards totaled $35 thousand and $17 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, there was approximately $189 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Company’s stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

As of March 31, 2010, 121,551 shares of restricted stock were reserved for issuance, of which 23,108 shares are available for grant.

The following table summarizes nonvested restricted stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

Income Taxes

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a threshold for the financial statement recognition of income taxes and provides criteria for the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 also includes guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applicable to taxable income for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation reserves are established against certain deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Increases or decreases in the valuation reserve are charged or credited to the income tax provision.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense on the income statement.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage interest rate risk. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For derivatives not designated as an accounting hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in trading noninterest income. As of March 31, 2010, all of the Company's derivative instruments qualified as hedging instruments.

For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based on the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. The Company does not have any fair value hedges or hedges of foreign operations.

The Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy before undertaking a hedge. To qualify for hedge accounting, the derivatives and hedged items must be designated as a hedge. For hedging relationships in which effectiveness is measured, the Company formally assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, if the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued.

For derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequently reclassified in interest income in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As a result, the change in fair value of any ineffective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized immediately in earnings.

The Company will discontinue hedge accounting when it is determined that the derivative is no longer qualifying as an effective hedge; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; or the derivative is de-designated as a fair value or cash flow hedge or it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period. If the Company determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as a cash flow or fair value hedge and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at its fair value with changes in fair value included in current earnings.

Loans Held To Maturity and Loans Held For Sale

Loans held to maturity are stated at the unpaid principal balance, net of unearned discounts and net of deferred loan origination fees and costs. Loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs, are deferred and are recognized over the estimated life of the related loans as an adjustment to the loan yield utilizing the level yield method.

Interest is credited to operations primarily based upon the principal amount outstanding. When management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the ultimate ability to collect interest on a loan, interest accruals are discontinued and all past due interest, previously recognized as income, is reversed and charged against current period earnings. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied as principal. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the ability to collect is reasonably assured and when the loan is brought current as to principal and interest.

Loans are reported as past due when either interest or principal is unpaid in the following circumstances: fixed payment loans when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments; open end credit for two or more billing cycles; and single payment notes if interest or principal remains unpaid for 30 days or more.

Loans are charged off when collection is sufficiently questionable and when the Company can no longer justify maintaining the loan as an asset on the balance sheet. Loans qualify for charge-off when, after thorough analysis, all possible sources of repayment are insufficient. These include: 1) potential future cash flows, 2) value of collateral, and/or 3) strength of co-makers and guarantors. All unsecured loans are charged off upon the establishment of the loan’s nonaccrual status. Additionally, all loans classified as a loss or that portion of the loan classified as a loss are charged off. All loan charge-offs are approved by the Board of Directors.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period income. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income.

The Company evaluates its loans for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company has defined impaired loans to be all troubled debt restructurings and nonaccrual loans. Troubled debt restructurings occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as a below market interest rate. Impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, net of estimated costs to sell, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Impairment can also be measured based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, net of estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company establishes a valuation allowance, or adjusts existing valuation allowances, with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses.

Loans held for sale are SBA loans and are reflected at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. The net amount of loan origination fees on loans sold is included in the carrying value and in the gain or loss on the sale.

The Company originates loans to customers under an SBA program that generally provides for SBA guarantees of up to 90 percent of each loan. In the past, the Company generally sold the guaranteed portion of its SBA loans to a third party and retained the servicing, holding the nonguaranteed portion in its portfolio. During late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area. If sales of SBA loans do occur, the premium received on the sale and the present value of future cash flows of the servicing assets are recognized in income. However, new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 860, “ Transfers and Servicing ,” requires that the gains on sales of SBA 7(a) loans be deferred for a 90-day period after the sale, which coincides with the buyback or warranty period required by the SBA for all secondary market sales.

Serviced loans sold to others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Income and fees collected for loan servicing are credited to noninterest income when earned, net of amortization on the related servicing assets.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by net charge-offs.

The level of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of probable losses in the loan portfolio, after consideration of prevailing economic conditions in the Company’s market area, the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. The allowance for loan losses consists of specific reserves for individually impaired credits, reserves for nonimpaired loans based on historical loss factors and reserves based on general economic factors and other qualitative risk factors such as changes in delinquency trends, industry concentrations or local/national economic trends. This risk assessment process is performed at least quarterly, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are realized in the periods in which they become known.

Although management attempts to maintain the allowance at a level deemed adequate to provide for probable losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon certain factors including changes in market conditions and underlying collateral values. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expenses and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities.

For additional information, see the sections titled "Asset Quality" and "Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments" under Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concern warrants such evaluation. This evaluation considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, our intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, our ability and intent to hold the security for a forecasted period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

Management assesses its intent to sell or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit losses. For debt securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired with no intent to sell and no requirement to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the amount of the impairment is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The present value of expected future cash flows is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. The methodology and assumptions for establishing the best estimate cash flows vary depending on the type of security. The asset-backed securities cash flow estimates are based on bond specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. The corporate bond cash flow estimates are derived from scenario-based outcomes of expected corporate restructurings or the disposition of assets using bond specific facts and circumstances including timing, security interests and loss severity.

NOTE 2. Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently is not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or the results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 3. Net Income per Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Net income available to common shareholders is calculated as net income less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock.

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. However, when a net loss rather than net income is recognized, diluted earnings per share equals basic earnings per share.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of basic and diluted income per share.

The number of anti-dilutive stock options and common stock warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 include the issuance of common stock warrants to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program in December 2008.

NOTE 4. Income Taxes

The Company did not recognize or accrue any interest or penalties related to income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company does not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009, as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. Tax returns for all years 2006 and thereafter are subject to future examination by tax authorities.

NOTE 6. Fair Value

Fair Value Measurement

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed as follows:

Level 1 Inputs

·	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Generally, this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market (i.e. New York Stock Exchange), as well as certain U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 Inputs

·	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

·	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

·	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.”

·	Generally, this includes U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and loans held for sale.

Level 3 Inputs

·	Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

·	These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities Available for Sale

The fair value of available for sale ("AFS") securities is the market value based on quoted market prices, when available, or market prices provided by recognized broker dealers (Level 1). If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon quoted market prices for similar or identical assets or other observable inputs (Level 2) or externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

As of March 31, 2010, the fair value of the Company's AFS securities portfolio was $113.5 million. Over 85 percent of the portfolio was made up of residential mortgage-backed securities, which had a fair value of $96.6 million at March 31, 2010. Approximately $79.0 million of the residential mortgage-backed securities were issued or are guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). The underlying loans for these securities are residential mortgages that are geographically dispersed throughout the United States. All AFS securities were classified as Level 2 assets at March 31, 2010. The valuation of AFS securities using Level 2 inputs was primarily determined using the market approach, which uses quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and all other relevant information. It includes model pricing, defined as valuing securities based upon their relationship with other benchmark securities.

SBA Servicing Assets

SBA servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. The Company estimates the fair value of SBA servicing assets using discounted cash flow models incorporating numerous assumptions from the perspective of a market participant including market discount rates and prepayment speeds. The fair value of SBA servicing assets as of March 31, 2010 was determined using a discount rate of 15 percent, constant prepayment rates of 15 to 18, and interest strip multiples ranging from 2.08 to 3.80, depending on each individual credit. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, SBA servicing assets are classified as Level 3 assets.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Based on the complex nature of interest rate swap agreements, the markets these instruments trade in are not as efficient and are less liquid than that of Level 1 markets. These markets do, however, have comparable, observable inputs in which an alternative pricing source values these assets or liabilities in order to arrive at a fair value. The fair values of our interest swaps are measured based on the difference between the yield on the existing swaps and the yield on current swaps in the market (i.e. The Yield Book); consequently, they are classified as Level 2 instruments.

There were no changes in the inputs or methodologies used to determine fair value during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009. The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

SBA Loans Held for Sale

The fair value of SBA loans held for sale was determined using a market approach that includes significant other observable inputs (Level 2 Inputs). The Level 2 fair values were estimated using quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

OREO

The fair value was determined using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions (Level 3 Inputs).

Impaired Loans

The fair value of impaired collateral dependent loans is derived in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables.” Fair value is determined based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The valuation allowance for impaired loans is included in the allowance for loan losses in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the hierarchy (as described above) as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	As of March 31, 2010

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the valuation allowance for impaired loans decreased $723 thousand from $2.5 million at December 31, 2009 to $1.7 million at March 31, 2010. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, the valuation allowance for impaired loans increased $1.5 million from $957 thousand at December 31, 2008 to $2.5 million at December 31, 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including those financial instruments for which the Company did not elect the fair value option. These estimated fair values as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of alternative market assumptions and estimation methodologies could have had a material effect on these estimates of fair value. The methodology for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, except for previously discussed impaired loans.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost. Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issues.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates.

Borrowed Funds & Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the projected future cash flows using current market rates.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Standby Letters of Credit

At March 31, 2010, the Bank had standby letters of credit outstanding of $6.2 million, as compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2009. The fair value of these commitments is nominal.

The table below presents the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Unrealized Losses

The unrealized losses in each of the categories presented in the tables above are discussed in the paragraphs that follow:

U.S. Government sponsored entities and state and political subdivision securities: The unrealized losses on investments in this type of security were caused by the increase in interest rate spreads. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010.

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities: The unrealized losses on investments in mortgage-backed securities were caused by interest rate increases. The majority of contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price significantly less than the par value of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010.

Trust preferred securities: The unrealized losses on trust preferred securities were caused by an inactive trading market and changes in market credit spreads. At March 31, 2010, this category consisted primarily of one single-issuer trust preferred security. The Company that issued the trust preferred security is considered a well capitalized institution per regulatory standards and significantly strengthened its capital position in 2009 through a public offering and other capital raising measures. In addition, the Company has ample liquidity and bolstered their allowance for loan losses in 2009. The contractual terms do not allow the security to be settled at a price less than the par value. Because the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010.

Other equity securities: Included in this category is stock of other financial institutions. The unrealized losses on other equity securities are caused by decreases in the market prices of the shares. The Company has evaluated the prospects of the issuer and has forecasted a recovery period; therefore these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010.

Realized Gains and Losses

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, gross realized gains on sales of securities amounted to $244 thousand and $515 thousand, respectively, while gross realized losses amounted to $240 thousand and $0, respectively. The net of these amounts is included in noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income as net securities gains. The gross gains in the first quarter of 2010 are primarily attributed to the Company selling approximately $6.4 million in book value of mortgage-backed securities, resulting in pretax gains of approximately $241 thousand on the sales and one called structured agency security with a resulting gain of $3 thousand. These gains were partially offset by losses of $150 thousand on the sale of two mortgage-backed securities and losses of $90 thousand on the sale of five held to maturity tax-exempt municipal securities with a total book value of approximately $2.0 million. Although designated as held to maturity, these municipal securities were sold due to deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness, as evidenced by downgrades in their credit ratings. The gross gains of $515 thousand for the same period in 2009 are attributed to the Company selling approximately $19.3 million in book value of mortgage-backed securities. There were no losses during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Gross realized gains (losses) on securities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are detailed in the table below:

Pledged Securities

Securities with a carrying value of $67.7 million and $71.4 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were pledged to secure Government deposits, secure other borrowings and for other purposes required or permitted by law. Included in these figures was $3.0 million and $2.9 million pledged to secure Government deposits at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, per the requirements of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.

Note 8. Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become known, they are reflected in operations in the periods in which they become known.

An analysis of the change in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2010		2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	13,842	$	10,326
Provision charged to expense		1,500		1,500
Charge-offs		1,335		1,613
Recoveries		48		94
Net charge-offs		1,287		1,519
Balance, end of period	$	14,055	$	10,307

The Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments that is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses. Adjustments to the allowance are made through other expense and applied to the allowance which is maintained in other liabilities. The commitment reserve was $75 thousand and $76 thousand at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncements

As discussed in Note 1, "Significant Accounting Policies", on July 1, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which provides that unvested share based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities. As such they should be included in the computation of basic EPS using the two class method. At March 31, 2010 the Company had 39,907 shares of nonvested restricted stock which were considered participating securities under this guidance. Adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's EPS calculation.

FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities,” (i) changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under ASC Topic 320, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the provisions of the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 320 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” amends prior guidance to amend and expand the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under ASC Topic 815, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, the new authoritative accounting guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 815 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is reflected in these financial statements.

Page 18 of 39

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820,”Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active. ASC Topic 820 requires an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of the evidence. The new accounting guidance amended prior guidance to expand certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 during the first quarter of 2009. Adoption of the new guidance did not significantly impact the Company’s financial statements.

Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-5) under ASC Topic 820 provides guidance for measuring the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. In such instances, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value utilizing a valuation technique that uses (i) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (ii) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (iii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the existing principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or market approach. The new authoritative accounting guidance also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The forgoing new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 was effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning October 1, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Further new authoritative accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-6) provides amendments to ASC Topic 820 that require new disclosures as follows: 1) A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The new authoritative guidance also clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. These new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning after December 15, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements (except for the disclosures about the purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010).

FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 825,”Financial Instruments,” requires an entity to provide disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and amends prior guidance to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The new interim disclosures required under Topic 825 are included in Note 6 - Fair Value.

FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. ASC Topic 855 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 855 became effective for the Company’s financial statements for periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing.” New authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. The new authoritative accounting guidance also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 was effective January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements; however the guidance defers the gains of SBA 7(a) loans for a 90-day period after the sale of the loan. Gains of $140 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were deferred to the second quarter as a result of this new guidance.

Earnings Summary

Over recent months, the economy has shown slight signs of strengthening, but the pace of economic recovery is expected to be slow and gradual. Household spending is expanding at a moderate rate, but remains constrained by other factors, such as a weak labor market, limited income growth, lower housing wealth, and tighter credit standards. Although stable in early 2010, hiring activity has been sluggish, as businesses are reluctant to hire in many areas due to continued uncertainty about both the economic and regulatory outlook. Small businesses continue to express concerns about sales and earnings, leading few businesses to plan capital expenditures or expansion.

Nationally, bankers continue to report decreased loan demand in all categories, higher delinquency rates and tighter credit standards. The majority of the financial sector continues to trade at a discount to book value due to credit concerns and negative publicity. Secondary markets for many types of financial assets remain very restrictive. Economists expect that economic conditions, including low rates of resource utilization, subdued inflation trends, and stable inflation expectations are likely to warrant the continued low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.

O ur performance during the first quarter of 2010 included the following accomplishments:

·	Net income is up 2.3 percent over the first quarter of 2009,

·	Net interest margin is wider due to reduced funding costs as higher-priced time deposits rolled off,

·	The provision for loan losses remained stable, and

·	The Company remained well-capitalized.

Our first quarter 2010 results also reflect:

·	A lower level of noninterest income primarily due to $515 thousand of gains on the sale of securities recorded in the first quarter of 2009. Excluding net security gains, noninterest income increased 8.8 percent over the prior year, and

·	Higher operating expenses, primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense due to increased retail commissions, increased costs of benefits and increased head count.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $375 thousand and $352 thousand, respectively. Performance ratios included:

	For the three months ended March 31,

Net Interest Income

The primary source of income for the Company is net interest income, the difference between the interest earned on earning assets such as investments and loans, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Factors that impact the Company’s net interest income include the interest rate environment, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the competitive nature of the Company’s marketplace.

In 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered interest rates 400 basis points in an attempt to stimulate economic activity. By year-end 2008, the Fed Funds target rate had fallen to 0.25 percent and the Prime rate to 3.25 percent. Interest rates continue to remain stable at this low level. Consequently, the Company has realized lower yields on earning assets and lower funding costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, tax-equivalent interest income decreased $1.1 million or 8.5 percent to $11.5 million. This decrease was driven by the lower average yield on earning assets and a decrease in the average volume of earning assets:

·	Of the $1.1 million decrease in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis, $634 thousand is attributable to the decrease in average interest-earning assets and $444 thousand is attributed to reduced yields on those interest-earning assets.

The average volume of interest-earning assets decreased $16.0 million to $850.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $866.8 million for the same period in 2009. This was due primarily to a $23.2 million decrease in average loans and a $13.7 million decrease in average investment securities, partially offset by a $22.2 million increase in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 40 basis points to 5.47 percent for the first quarter of 2010 when compared to the first quarter of 2009, due to continued re-pricing in a lower overall interest rate environment. Yields on most earning assets, particularly those with variable rates, fell due to these lower market rates. There were slight increases in the yields on residential mortgage loans, held to maturity securities and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Total interest expense was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $1.8 million or 30.4 percent compared to the same period in 2009. This decrease was driven by the lower overall interest rate environment combined with the shift in deposit mix away from higher priced products and a decrease in the average volume of interest-bearing liabilities:

·	Of the $1.8 million decrease in interest expense, $968 thousand is due to a lower volume of interest-bearing liabilities and $799 thousand is attributed to a decrease in the rates paid on those liabilities.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $744.1 million for the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $17.9 million or 2.3 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2009. The decrease in interest-bearing liabilities was a result of a decrease in average time deposits and borrowed funds, partially offset by increases in all other deposit categories.

The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 89 basis points to 2.20 percent, primarily due to the repricing of deposits in a lower interest rate environment. This was partially offset by an increase in the cost of borrowings due to the use of low cost overnight lines of credit and a low rate repurchase agreement during the first quarter of 2009 and not in 2010. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 116 basis points to 1.87 percent for the first quarter of 2010 and the cost of borrowed funds and subordinated debentures increased 97 basis points to 4.29 percent.

·	The lower cost of funding was also attributed to a shift in the mix of deposits from higher cost time deposits to lower cost savings deposits.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $7.5 million, an increase of $689 thousand or 10.1 percent, compared to the same period in 2009. Net interest margin increased 39 basis points to 3.57 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to 3.18 percent for the same period in 2009. The net interest spread was 3.27 percent for the first quarter of 2010, a 49 basis point increase from 2.78 percent for the same period in 2009.

The following table reflects the components of net interest income, setting forth for the periods presented herein: (1) average assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity, (2) interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (3) average yields earned on interest-earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, (4) net interest spread (which is the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities), and (5) net interest income/margin on average earning assets. Rates/Yields are computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 34 percent.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses totaled $1.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Each period’s loan loss provision is the result of management’s analysis of the loan portfolio and reflects changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies, current economic conditions and other internal and external factors impacting the risk within the loan portfolio. Additional information may be found under the captions “Financial Condition-Asset Quality” and “Financial Condition - Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments.” The current provision is considered appropriate under management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $910 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $438 thousand compared with the same period in 2009. The decrease is primarily due to $515 thousand of gains on the sale of securities recorded during the first quarter of 2009, compared to only $4 thousand recorded during the first quarter of 2010. Excluding net security gains, noninterest income would have increased $73 thousand or 8.8 percent. The following table shows the components of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2010		2009
Branch fee income	$	362	$	330

Net security gains		4		515
Other income		117		103
Total noninterest income	$	910	$	1,348

Page 23 of 39

Changes in our noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect:

·	Branch fee income increased $32 thousand or 9.7 percent. During this period, increased analysis fees on commercial accounts were partially offset by lower levels of overdraft fees.

·	Service and loan fee income decreased $43 thousand or 17.1 percent as a result of lower loan origination volume and SBA servicing income, fewer late charges and prepayment penalties, and lower fees received on letters of credit.

No net gains on SBA loan sales were recorded during the first quarter of 2010, as compared to $29 thousand recorded for the first quarter of 2009. New authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 860, “ Transfers and Servicing ,” requires that the gains on sales of SBA 7(a) loans be deferred for a 90-day period after the sale. Therefore, the resulting gains of $140 thousand on the first quarter SBA loan sales will not be recorded until the second quarter. This change will affect the comparability of reported gains on sales throughout 2010 to prior year periods.

·	Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $81 thousand due to a higher volume of loans sold. Sales of mortgage loans totaled $7.8 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In December 2004, the Company purchased $5.0 million of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). An additional $2.5 million was purchased in January 2010 to offset the rising costs of employee benefits. The increase in the cash surrender value of the BOLI was $73 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $55 thousand for the same period in the prior year.

The Company realized net security gains of $4 thousand on the sale of securities in the first quarter of 2010, compared to net gains of $515 thousand for the same period in 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company sold approximately $6.4 million in book value of mortgage-backed securities, resulting in pretax gains of approximately $241 thousand on the sales and one structured agency security was called with a resulting gain of $3 thousand. These gains were partially offset by losses of $150 thousand on the sale of two mortgage-backed securities and losses of $90 thousand on the sale of five held to maturity tax-exempt municipal securities. The gross gains of $515 thousand for the same period in 2009 are attributed to the Company selling approximately $19.3 million in book value of mortgage-backed securities.

·	Other income totaled $117 thousand and $103 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was due primarily to increased check card fee income and other miscellaneous service charges, partially offset by reduced annuity commission income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense was $5.9 million for first quarter of 2010, an increase of $386 thousand or 6.9 percent over the first quarter of 2009. The majority of this increase is due to increased compensation and benefits expense. The following table presents a breakdown of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2010		2009
Compensation and benefits	$	2,999	$	2,624
Occupancy		677		687
Processing and communications		524		541
Furniture and equipment		423		495
Professional services		229		246
Loan collection costs		184		198
Deposit insurance		330		301
Advertising		106		75
Other expenses		469		388
Total noninterest expense	$	5,941	$	5,555

Changes in noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 versus the three months ended March 31, 2009 reflect:

Compensation and benefits expense, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased $375 thousand or 14.3 percent. This increase is attributed to an increase in headcount, as well as increased retail commissions and higher costs of benefits. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 171 and 162 full-time equivalent employees, respectively.

·	Occupancy expense declined $10 thousand or 1.5 percent, due primarily to the renegotiation of the lease on our corporate headquarters, partially offset by increased snow removal costs.

·	Processing and communications expenses decreased $17 thousand or 3.1 percent. This was primarily the result of renegotiated communications and ATM processing contracts and bringing the items processing function in-house, partially offset by increased postage expenses.

·	Furniture and equipment expense decreased $72 thousand or 14.5 percent, due to lower depreciation expense as capital expenditures declined, as well as lower maintenance costs on equipment, networks, and software.

·	Professional service fees decreased $17 thousand or 6.9 percent, due to slightly lower consultant fees and loan review fees.

·	Loan collection costs decreased $14 thousand or 7.1 percent, primarily due to lower legal expenses related to the collection of past due loans.

·	Deposit insurance expense increased $29 thousand or 9.6 percent, due to a higher deposit base at March 31, 2010 versus March 31, 2009 and increased insurance rates.

·	Advertising expense increased $31 thousand or 41.3 percent in support of the Company’s sales initiative and brand recognition efforts.

·	Other expenses increased $81 thousand or 20.9 percent, primarily due to increased expenses for other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties and higher employee recruitment fees.

Income Tax Expense

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded income tax expense of $185 thousand, compared to $336 thousand for the same period a year ago. The current 2010 tax provision represents an effective tax rate of approximately 19.8 percent as compared to 31.5 percent for the prior year. Management anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 20.0 percent for the remainder of 2010.

Financial Condition at March 31, 2010

Total assets decreased $40.4 million, or 4.3 percent, to $889.9 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $930.4 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to a $30.6 million decrease in total securities, a $7.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and a $5.8 million decrease in total loans. Total deposits decreased $43.4 million and borrowed funds increased $1.6 million. Total shareholders’ equity increased $847 thousand over year-end 2009. These fluctuations are discussed in further detail in the paragraphs that follow.

Investment Securities Portfolio

The Company’s securities portfolio consists of available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) investments. Management determines the appropriate security classification of available for sale or held to maturity at the time of purchase. The investment securities portfolio is maintained for asset-liability management purposes, as well as for liquidity and earnings purposes.

AFS securities are investments carried at fair value that may be sold in response to changing market and interest rate conditions or for other business purposes. Activity in this portfolio is undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk, to take advantage of market conditions that create economically attractive returns and as an additional source of earnings. AFS securities consist primarily of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, trust preferred securities and equity securities.

HTM securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments for which there is the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The portfolio is comprised of obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities.

AFS securities totaled $113.5 million at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $27.3 million or 19.4 percent, compared to $140.8 million at December 31, 2009. This net decrease was the result of the following:

·	$18.8 million in principal payments, maturities and called bonds,

·	$8.7 million in sales net of realized gains, which consisted primarily of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”),

·	$205 thousand in net amortization of premiums, partially offset by

$464 thousand of appreciation in the market value of the portfolio. At March 31, 2010, the portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $456 thousand compared to a net unrealized loss of $8 thousand At December 31, 2009. These unrealized gains (losses) are reflected net of tax in shareholders’ equity as other comprehensive loss.

The average balance of AFS securities amounted to $131.3 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $138.3 million for the first quarter of 2009. The average yield earned on the AFS portfolio decreased 95 basis points, to 3.94 percent for the first quarter of 2010, from 4.89 percent for the same period in the prior year. The weighted average repricing of AFS securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 2.1 years at March 31, 2010, compared to 2.5 years at December 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2010, the Company’s AFS portfolio included one bank trust preferred security with a book value of $976 thousand and a fair value of $552 thousand. The Company monitors the credit worthiness of the issuer of this security quarterly. At March 31, 2010, the Company had not taken any OTTI credit loss adjustments on this security. Management will continue to monitor the performance of the security and the underlying institution for impairment. Changes in the credit worthiness of the underlying issuer may result in OTTI credit loss charges in the future.

HTM securities were $25.0 million at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $3.3 million or 11.6 percent, from year-end 2009. This net decrease was the result of:

·	$2.0 million in sales net of realized losses, which consisted primarily of tax-exempt municipal securities due to declines in their ratings,
·	$1.3 million in principal payments, maturities and called bonds, and

·	$14 thousand in net amortization of premiums.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of HTM securities was $25.3 million and $28.4 million, respectively. The average balance of HTM securities amounted to $27.3 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $34.0 million for the first quarter of 2009. The average yield earned on HTM securities increased 42 basis points, from 4.76 percent for the first quarter of 2009 to 5.18 percent for the first quarter of 2010. The weighted average repricing of HTM securities, adjusted for prepayments, amounted to 2.3 years and 2.7 years at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Approximately 79 percent of the total investment portfolio had a fixed rate of interest at March 31, 2010.

Loan Portfolio

The loan portfolio, which represents the Company’s largest asset group, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The portfolio consists of SBA, SBA 504, commercial, residential mortgage and consumer loans. Different segments of the loan portfolio are subject to differing levels of credit and interest rate risk.

Total loans decreased $5.8 million or 0.9 percent to $651.2 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $657.0 million at year-end 2009. The declines occurred in all loan types except residential mortgages and are a direct result of the economic downturn, low consumer and business confidence levels, and reduced loan demand. Creditworthy borrowers are cutting back on capital expenditures or postponing their purchases in hopes that the economy will improve. In general, banks are lending less because consumers and businesses are demanding less credit.

The following table sets forth the classification of loans by major category, including unearned fees, deferred costs and excluding the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

	March 31, 2010					December 31, 2009
(In thousands)	Amount		% of Total			Amount		% of Total
SBA held for sale	$	22,617		3.5	%	$	21,406		3.3	%
SBA held to maturity		75,191		11.5			77,844		11.8
SBA 504		67,000		10.3			70,683		10.8
Commercial		292,557		45.0			293,739		44.6
Residential mortgage		135,596		20.8			133,059		20.3
Consumer		58,239		8.9			60,285		9.2
Total loans	$	651,200		100.0	%	$	657,016		100.0	%

Average loans decreased $23.2 million or 3.4 percent from $678.3 million for the first quarter of 2009, to $655.0 million for the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in average loans was due to declines in all portfolio types except for residential mortgages, which increased $5.6 million. The yield on the overall loan portfolio fell 20 basis points to 6.06 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 6.26 percent for the same period in the prior year. This decrease was the result of variable rate, prime-based loan products such as SBA loans repricing lower as rates remained low throughout 2009 and the beginning of 2010. The prime rate has remained at 3.25 percent since December 2008.

SBA loans, on which the SBA provides guarantees of up to 90 percent of the principal balance, are considered a higher risk loan product for the Company than its other loan products. The Company’s SBA loans were historically sold in the secondary market with the nonguaranteed portion held in the portfolio as a loan held for investment. During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, as a result of the significantly reduced premiums on sale and the ongoing credit crisis, the Company closed all SBA production offices outside of its New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York primary trade area. Consequently, the volume of new SBA loans and gains on SBA loans has declined. In addition, new authoritative accounting guidance under FASB ASC Topic 860 , “ Transfers and Servicing ,” requires that the gains on sales of SBA 7(a) loans be deferred for a 90-day period after the sale.

SBA 7(a) loans held for sale, carried at the lower of cost or market, amounted to $22.6 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.2 million from $21.4 million at December 31, 2009. SBA 7(a) loans held to maturity amounted to $75.2 million at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $2.7 million from $77.8 million at December 31, 2009. The yield on SBA loans, which are generally floating and adjust quarterly to the Prime rate, was 5.92 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 6.12 percent for the same period in the prior year due to the continued low interest rate environment.

At March 31, 2010, SBA 504 loans totaled $67.0 million, a decrease of $3.7 million from $70.7 million at December 31, 2009. The SBA 504 program consists of real estate backed commercial mortgages where the Company has the first mortgage and the SBA has the second mortgage on the property. Generally, the Company has a 50 percent loan to value ratio on SBA 504 program loans. The yield on SBA 504 loans dropped 23 basis points to 6.26 percent for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 6.49 percent for the first quarter of 2009.

Commercial loans are generally made in the Company’s market place for the purpose of providing working capital, financing the purchase of equipment, inventory or commercial real estate and for other business purposes. These loans amounted to $292.6 million at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $1.2 million from year-end 2009. This decrease can be attributed to principal paydowns on these loans with minimal new loan volume. The yield on commercial loans was 6.39 percent for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 6.67 percent for the first quarter of 2009.

Residential mortgage loans consist of loans secured by 1 to 4 family residential properties. These loans amounted to $135.6 million at March 31, 2010, up $2.5 million from year-end 2009. New loan volume during the quarter was partially offset by the sale of mortgage loans totaling $7.8 million. The yield on residential mortgages was 5.83 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 5.78 percent for the same period in 2009.

Consumer loans consist of home equity loans and loans for the purpose of financing the purchase of consumer goods, home improvements, and other personal needs, and are generally secured by the personal property being purchased. These loans amounted to $58.2 million at March 31, 2010, a decrease of $2.0 million from December 31, 2009. The yield on consumer loans was 4.96 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 5.18 percent for the same period in 2009.

Page 26 of 39

As of March 31, 2010, approximately 12 percent of the Company’s total loan portfolio consists of loans to various unrelated and unaffiliated borrowers in the Hotel/Motel industry. Such loans are collateralized by the underlying real property financed and/or partially guaranteed by the SBA. There are no other concentrations of loans to any borrowers or group of borrowers exceeding 10 percent of the total loan portfolio. There are no foreign loans in the portfolio. As a preferred SBA lender, a portion of the SBA portfolio is to borrowers outside the Company’s lending area. However, during late 2008, the Company withdrew from SBA lending outside of its primary trade area, but continues to offer SBA loan products as an additional credit product within its primary trade area.

In the normal course of business, the Company may originate loan products whose terms could give rise to additional credit risk. Interest-only loans, loans with high loan-to-value ratios, construction loans with payments made from interest reserves and multiple loans supported by the same collateral (e.g. home equity loans) are examples of such products. However, these products are not material to the Company’s financial position and are closely managed via credit controls that mitigate their additional inherent risk. Management does not believe that these products create a concentration of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company does not have any option adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans.

The majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate. The declines in the market values of real estate in the Company’s trade area impact the value of the collateral securing its loans. This could lead to greater losses in the event of defaults on loans secured by real estate. Specifically, as of March 31, 2010, 85 percent of SBA 7(a) loans are secured by commercial or residential real estate, 12 percent by other non-real estate collateral and 3 percent by undeveloped land. Commercial real estate secures 99 percent of all SBA 504 loans with only 1 percent secured by undeveloped land. Approximately 98 percent of consumer loans are secured by owner-occupied residential real estate, with the other 2 percent secured by automobiles or other. The detailed allocation of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio collateral as of March 31, 2010 is shown in the table below:

	Concentration
(In thousands)	Balance		Percent
Commercial real estate – owner occupied	$	145,030		49.5	%
Commercial real estate – investment property		106,459		36.4
Undeveloped land		25,635		8.8
Other non-real estate collateral		15,433		5.3
Total commercial loans	$	292,557		100.0	%

Asset Quality

Inherent in the lending function is credit risk, which is the possibility a borrower may not perform in accordance with the contractual terms of their loan. A borrower’s inability to pay their obligations according to the contractual terms can create the risk of past due loans and, ultimately, credit losses, especially on collateral deficient loans. The Company minimizes its credit risk by loan diversification and adhering to strict credit administration policies and procedures. Due diligence on loans begins when we initiate contact regarding a loan with a borrower. Documentation, including a borrower’s credit history, materials establishing the value and liquidity of potential collateral, the purpose of the loan, the source of funds for repayment of the loan, and other factors, are analyzed before a loan is submitted for approval. The loan portfolio is then subject to on-going internal reviews for credit quality, as well as independent credit reviews by an outside firm.

The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in collateral values, general economic conditions and other factors. The current state of the economy and the downturn in the real estate market have resulted in increased loan delinquencies and defaults. In some cases, these factors have also resulted in significant impairment to the value of loan collateral. The Company values its collateral through the use of appraisals, broker price opinions, and knowledge of its local market. In response to the credit risk in its portfolio, the Company has increased staffing in its credit monitoring department and increased efforts in the collection and analysis of borrower’s financial statements and tax returns. The recession that began in 2008 continues to put a strain on the Company’s borrowers and their ability to pay their loan obligations. Unemployment rates are at the highest level in 25 years and businesses are reluctant to hire. Unemployment and flat wages have caused consumer spending and demand for goods to decline, impacting the profitability of small businesses. Consequently, the Company’s nonperforming loans increased compared to the prior year.

Nonperforming loans consist of loans that are not accruing interest (nonaccrual loans) as a result of principal or interest being in default for a period of 90 days or more or when the ability to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms is in doubt. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest previously recognized as income is reversed and charged against current period income. Generally, until the loan becomes current, any payments received from the borrower are applied to outstanding principal, until such time as management determines that the financial condition of the borrower and other factors merit recognition of a portion of such payments as interest income. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest are not included in nonperforming loans. Loans past due 90 days or more generally represent loans that are well collateralized and in a continuing process that is expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status.

The following table sets forth information concerning nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets at each of the periods indicated:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2010			December 31, 2009			March 31, 2009

(1) SBA loans guaranteed	$	2,205		$	1,931		$	2,426

Nonperforming loans were $26.7 million at March 31, 2010, a $1.2 million increase from $25.5 million at year-end 2009 and a $6.8 million increase from $19.9 million at March 31, 2009. Since year-end 2009, the biggest increase in nonperforming loans was a $2.6 million increase in the commercial loan portfolio. Included in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2010, are approximately $2.2 million of loans guaranteed by the SBA, compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2009. In addition, there were $3.1 million and $2.3 million in loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties totaled $3.3 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million from year-end 2009 and an increase of $2.6 million from March 31, 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company took title to four commercial buildings totaling $3.2 million.

Potential problem loans are those loans where information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms. These loans are not included in nonperforming loans as they continue to perform. Potential problem loans totaled $3.5 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $1.9 million from $1.6 million at December 31, 2009.

The Company has defined impaired loans to be all troubled debt restructurings and nonaccrual loans. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) occur when a creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial condition, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider, such as a below market interest rate, extending the maturity of a loan, or a combination of both. At March 31, 2010, there were four loans totaling $4.7 million that were classified as TDRs by the Company and are deemed impaired, compared to four loans totaling $6.6 million at December 31, 2009. A $500 thousand loan restructured during the first quarter of 2010 was considered a TDR and one loan classified as a TDR at December 31, 2009 was moved into nonaccrual status during the first quarter of 2010. TDRs are not included in the nonperforming or potential problem loan figures listed above, as they continue to perform under their modified terms.

In addition, the Company modified loans during the first quarter of 2010 that were not considered troubled debt restructurings. These loan modifications were predominantly done in the Company’s higher risk SBA portfolio. The types of modifications include changing from a fixed rate of interest to a floating market rate, extending the term of the loan, or allowing interest only payments for a specified period of time. The majority of loans modified during the quarter are performing according to their new terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Unfunded Loan Commitments

Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The standardized methodology used to assess the adequacy of the allowance includes the allocation of specific and general reserves. Specific reserves are made to significant individual impaired loans, which have been defined to include all nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings. The general reserve is set based upon a representative average historical net charge-off rate adjusted for certain environmental factors such as: delinquency and impairment trends, charge-off and recovery trends, volume and loan term trends, risk and underwriting policy trends, staffing and experience changes, national and local economic trends, industry conditions and credit concentration changes.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2009, when calculating the five-year historical net charge-off rate, the Company weights the past three years more heavily due to the higher amount of charge-offs experienced during those years. All of the environmental factors are ranked and assigned a basis points value based on the following scale: low, low moderate, moderate, high moderate, and high risk. The factors are evaluated separately for each type of loan. For example, commercial loans are broken down further into commercial and industrial loans, commercial mortgages, construction loans, etc. Each type of loan is risk weighted for each environmental factor based on its individual characteristics.

According to the Company’s policy, a loss (“charge-off”) is to be recognized and charged to the allowance for loan losses as soon as a loan is recognized as uncollectable. All credits which are 90 days past due must be analyzed for the Company's ability to collect on the credit. Once a loss is known to exist, the loss approval process is immediately expedited.

Beginning in 2009, the Company significantly increased its loan loss provision in response to the inherent credit risk within its loan portfolio and changes to some of the environmental factors noted above. The inherent credit risk was evidenced by the increase in delinquent and nonperforming loans in recent quarters, as the downturn in the economy impacted borrowers’ abilities to pay and factors, such as a weakened housing market, eroded the value of underlying collateral. In addition, net charge-offs are higher than normal, as the Company is proactively addressing these issues.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $14.1 million, $13.8 million, and $10.3 million at March 31, 2010, December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2009, respectively, with resulting allowance to total loan ratios of 2.16 percent, 2.11 percent, and 1.54 percent, respectively. Net charge-offs amounted to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2009. Net charge-offs to average loan ratios are shown in the table below for each major loan category. For the first quarter of 2010, the highest net charge-off ratios can be seen in the Company’s SBA 504 and commercial loan portfolios, most of which are secured by real estate. For the first quarter of 2009, the highest net charge-off ratio can be seen in the Company’s higher risk SBA portfolio.

The following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

	For the three months ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2010			2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	13,842		$	10,326

Total loans		0.80			0.91
Allowance to total loans		2.16			1.54
Allowance to nonperforming loans		52.73			51.83

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. Commitments to extend credit represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual conditions. At March 31, 2010, a $75 thousand commitment reserve was reported on the balance sheet as an “other liability” compared to a $76 thousand commitment reserve at December 31, 2009. Management determines this amount using estimates of future loan funding and losses related to those credit exposures.

Deposits

Deposits, which include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits, are the primary source of the Company’s funds. The Company offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with primary focus on building and expanding relationships. The Company continues to focus on establishing a comprehensive relationship with business borrowers, seeking deposits as well as lending relationships.

Total deposits decreased $43.4 million to $714.8 million at March 31, 2010 from $758.2 million at December 31, 2009 . The decrease in deposits was the result of a $56.5 million decrease in time deposits, partially offset by increases of $5.5 million, $4.8 million, and $2.8 million in savings deposits, demand deposits, and interest-bearing demand deposits, respectively. The decline in time deposits was due to the planned run off of a maturing high rate promotion done at the end of 2008 to bolster liquidity. In addition, the Company’s new sales initiatives and efforts by branch personnel and administration to bring in deposit relationships resulted in increased noninterest-bearing demand deposits during the year.

The mix of deposits shifted during the quarter as the concentration of time deposits fell from 38.5 percent of total deposits at December 31, 2009 to 32.9 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2010, in turn causing the concentration of all other deposits to increase.

Borrowed Funds and Subordinated Debentures

Borrowed funds consist primarily of fixed rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of New York and repurchase agreements. These borrowings are used as a source of liquidity or to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. Residential mortgages and investment securities collateralize the borrowings from the FHLB, while investment securities are pledged against the repurchase agreements.

Borrowed funds and subordinated debentures totaled $102.0 million at March 31, 2010 and $100.5 million at December 31, 2009, broken down in the following table:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2010		December 31, 2009
FHLB borrowings:
Fixed rate advances	$	40,000	$	40,000
Repurchase agreements		30,000		30,000
Other repurchase agreements		15,000		15,000
SBA loan sales		1,554		-
Subordinated debentures		15,465		15,465

Borrowed funds at March 31, 2010 include $1.6 million for SBA 7(a) loan sales that occurred during the first quarter of 2010. According to FASB ASC Topic 860, “ Transfers and Servicing ,” as discussed in Note 8 above, the sales credit and gains on the sale of SBA 7(a) loans must be deferred for a 90-day period after the sale and the transaction is reported as a secured borrowing. A t March 31, 2010, the Company had $81.2 million of additional credit available at the FHLB. Pledging additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities can increase the line with the FHLB.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The principal objectives of the asset and liability management function are to establish prudent risk management guidelines, evaluate and control the level of interest-rate risk in balance sheet accounts, determine the level of appropriate risk given the business focus, operating environment, capital, and liquidity requirements, and actively manage risk within the Board approved guidelines. The Company seeks to reduce the vulnerability of the operations to changes in interest rates, and actions in this regard are taken under the guidance of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of the Board of Directors. The ALCO reviews the maturities and re-pricing of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, cash flow needs, current market conditions, and interest rate levels.

The Company utilizes Modified Duration of Equity and Economic Value of Portfolio Equity (“EVPE”) models to measure the impact of longer-term asset and liability mismatches beyond two years. The modified duration of equity measures the potential price risk of equity to changes in interest rates. A longer modified duration of equity indicates a greater degree of risk to rising interest rates. Because of balance sheet optionality, an EVPE analysis is also used to dynamically model the present value of asset and liability cash flows with rate shocks of 200 basis points. The economic value of equity is likely to be different as interest rates change. Like the simulation model, results falling outside prescribed ranges require action by the ALCO. The Company’s variance in the economic value of equity, as a percentage of assets with rate shocks of 200 basis points at March 31, 2010, is a decline of 0.53 percent in a rising-rate environment and a decline of 1.12 percent in a falling-rate environment . The variances in the EVPE at March 31, 2010 are within the Board-approved guidelines of +/- 3.00 percent. At December 31, 2009, the economic value of equity as a percentage of assets with rate shocks of 200 basis points was a decline of 0.90 percent in a rising-rate environment and a decline of 0.89 percent in a falling-rate environment.

Operating, Investing and Financing

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the changes in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2010, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was $66.4 million, a decrease of $7.2 million from December 31, 2009.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.6 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The primary sources of funds were net income from operations and adjustments to net income, such as the provision for loan losses, depreciation and amortization, and proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale, partially offset by originations of SBA and mortgage loans held for sale and deferred taxes.

Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $32.2 million and $582 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily a result of sales, maturities and paydowns on securities and proceeds from the sale of other real estate owned, partially offset by the purchase of additional bank owned life insurance.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $42.1 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the decline in the Company’s deposit base and dividends paid on preferred stock, partially offset by an increase in the Company’s borrowings.

Liquidity

The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, withdrawals or maturities of deposits and other cash outflows in a cost-effective manner.

Parent Company

Generally, the P arent Company’s cash is used for the payment of operating expenses and cash dividends on the preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury. The principal sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends paid by the Bank. The Parent Company only pays expenses that are specifically for the benefit of the Parent Company. Other than its investment in the Bank, Unity Statutory Trust II and Unity Statutory Trust III, the Parent Company does not actively engage in other transactions or business. The majority of expenses paid by the Parent Company are related to Unity Statutory Trust II and Unity Statutory Trust III.

At March 31, 2010, the Parent Company had $4.8 million in cash and $91 thousand in marketable securities valued at fair market value compared to $5.1 million in cash and $90 thousand in marketable securities at December 31, 2009. The decrease in cash at the Parent Company was primarily due to the payment of cash dividends on preferred stock.

Consolidated Bank

The principal sources of funds at the Bank are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan and investment principal, sales and maturities of investment securities and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Total FHLB borrowings amounted to $70.0 million and third party repurchase agreements totaled $15.0 million as of March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, $81.2 million was available for additional borrowings from the FHLB. Pledging additional collateral in the form of 1 to 4 family residential mortgages or investment securities can increase the line with the FHLB. An additional source of liquidity is the securities available for sale portfolio and SBA loans held for sale portfolio, which amounted to $113.5 million and $22.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2010, deposits included $24.4 million of Government deposits, as compared to $29.2 million at year-end 2009. These deposits are generally short in duration and are very sensitive to price competition. The Company believes that the current level of these types of deposits is appropriate. Included in the portfolio were $21.3 million of deposits from five municipalities. The withdrawal of these deposits, in whole or in part, would not create a liquidity shortfall for the Company.

The Company was committed to advance approximately $74.8 million to its borrowers as of March 31, 2010, compared to $76.2 million at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, $28.1 million of these commitments expire after one year, compared to $32.7 million at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the Company had $6.2 million in standby letters of credit compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2009, which are included in the commitments amount noted above. The estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant. The Company believes it has the necessary liquidity to honor all commitments. Many of these commitments will expire and never be funded. In addition, approximately 9 percent at March 31, 2010 and 5 percent at December 31, 2009, of these commitments are for SBA loans, which may be sold in the secondary market.

Regulatory Capital

A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its capital base. Federal regulators have classified and defined capital into the following components: (1) tier 1 capital, which includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and certain qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses, subject to limitations, certain qualifying long-term debt, preferred stock and hybrid instruments, which do not qualify for tier 1 capital. The parent company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Quantitative measures of capital adequacy include the leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of tangible assets), tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (tier 1 capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets) and total risk-based capital ratio (total risk-based capital as a percent of total risk-weighted assets).

Minimum capital levels are regulated by risk-based capital adequacy guidelines, which require the Company and the bank to maintain certain capital as a percentage of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined credit risk factors (risk-weighted assets). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines. However, prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. At a minimum, tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and combined tier 1 and tier 2 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets of 8 percent must be maintained.

In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require that a bank, which meets the regulator’s highest performance and operation standards, maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3 percent. For those banks with higher levels of risk or that are experiencing or anticipating significant growth, the minimum leverage ratio will be proportionately increased. Minimum leverage ratios for each institution are evaluated through the ongoing regulatory examination process.

The Company’s capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $847 thousand to $68.7 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $67.9 million at December 31, 2009, due to net income of $748 thousand, $272 thousand in net unrealized gains on the available for sale securities portfolio, $1 thousand in net unrealized gains on cash flow hedge derivatives, and $82 thousand from the issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans, partially offset by $256 thousand in dividends accrued on preferred stock. The issuance of common stock under employee benefit plans includes nonqualified stock options and restricted stock expense related entries, employee option exercises and the tax benefit of options exercised.

On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provided the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to the U.S. markets. One of the programs resulting from the EESA was the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) which provided direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the U.S. Treasury in qualified financial institutions. This program was voluntary and requires an institution to comply with several restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions, and declaration of dividends. The perpetual preferred stock has a dividend rate of 5 percent per year until the fifth anniversary of the Treasury investment and a dividend of 9 percent thereafter. The Company received an investment in perpetual preferred stock of $20.6 million on December 5, 2008.

As part of the CPP, the Company’s future ability to pay cash dividends is limited for so long as the Treasury holds the preferred stock. As so limited the Company may not increase its quarterly cash dividend above $0.05 per share, the quarterly rate in effect at the time the CPP program was announced, without the prior approval of the Treasury. In accordance with its revised dividend policy announced during the third quarter of 2009, the Company did not declare any dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The revised dividend policy establishes a targeted dividend payout ratio of 20 percent of the Company's earnings, subject to adjustment based upon factors existing at the time of the dividend and the Company's projected capital needs. The dividend is to be paid once annually. No dividends were paid in 2009 due to the Company’s net loss.

The Company has suspended its share repurchase program, as required by the CPP. On October 21, 2002, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of its outstanding common stock. The amount and timing of purchases would be dependent upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s shares, general market conditions and competing alternate uses of funds. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had repurchased a total of 556 thousand shares of which 131 thousand shares have been retired, leaving 153 thousand shares remaining to be repurchased under the plan.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swap agreements, which derive their value from underlying interest rates. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivatives are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as other assets or other liabilities.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated over the counter (“OTC”) contracts or standardized contracts executed on a recognized exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

Risk Management Policies – Hedging Instruments

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk Management – Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

The Company has long-term variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and for other general business purposes. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, hedged a portion of its variable-rate interest payments. To meet this objective, management entered into interest rate swap agreements whereby the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the information pertaining to outstanding interest rate swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt was as follows:

(In thousands, except percentages and years)	March 31, 2010			December 31, 2009
Notional amount	$	15,000		$	15,000
Weighted average pay rate		4.05	%		4.05	%
Weighted average receive rate (three-month LIBOR)		0.25	%		0.90	%
Weighted average maturity in years		1.66			1.90
Unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps	$	(776	)	$	(777	)

These agreements provide for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specific index (three-month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.

At March 31, 2010, the net unrealized loss relating to interest rate swaps was recorded as a derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income. The net spread between the fixed rate of interest which is paid and the variable interest received is classified in interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements, and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
