Orrstown Bank Participates in "Teach Children to Save" Program

Throughout April and May, Orrstown Bank employees participated in the American Bankers Association’s Teach Children to Save program. Bank employees taught more than 1,000 elementary and middle school students throughout the region, promoting financial literacy and the importance of establishing good money management habits.

“Orrstown Bank is committed to the education of area students. While schools prepare students for real world success, Orrstown Bank focuses on helping young people develop skills for financial success,” commented Mark Bayer, Vice President and Director of Marketing.

The Teach Children to Save program uses lessons that bring together real life and classroom learning, incorporating hands-on scenarios and children’s experiences to help them understand the basic principles of using money wisely. Lessons explore saving, budgeting, prioritizing and more.

Teach Children to Save is a national campaign of volunteer bankers who since 1997 have helped young people develop lifelong savings habits. It includes an annual awareness day, Teach Children to Save Day; a video contest for teens, Lights, Camera, Save!; and the Teach Children to Save website: http://www.teachchildrentosave.com/.

Bayer continued, “In addition to our involvement with the Teach Children To Save program, the Orrstown Bank Foundation also helps prepare students for success through its scholarship program. Over the past five years more than 50 scholarships have been granted to matriculating high school seniors, and this year the program has been expanded and will provide 16 scholarships to high school seniors who are continuing their education.”

Orrstown Bank offers the following tips for money-savvy parents raising money-smart kids:

1. Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscientious spender and an active saver. Children tend to emulate their parents’ personal finance habits.

2. Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage them to ask you questions, and be prepared to answer them – even the tough ones.

3. Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so.

4. Open a savings account at your local bank for your children and take them with you to make deposits, so they can learn how to be hands-on in their money management.

5. Give your kids positive feedback. As they get older, give them responsibility over how they spend their money.

“Of course 2010 was a challenging year for all community banks, but we nevertheless produced strong results which will be substantially above local peer levels once the year-end results are compiled. Additionally, we bolstered our reserves, added meaningfully to capital and were intensively focused on asset quality, which we believe remains quite solid.”

“While we cannot forecast what the national and regional economic conditions will be, we are cautiously optimistic that our strategies and the execution of our underlying business plan will deliver consistent ongoing returns for our shareholders. We have dedicated people, an experienced senior management team and a very engaged Board of Directors that know our market, recognize our Company’s competitive strengths and understand how to differentiate ourselves to our customers. We look forward to the year ahead and believe we will continue to compete well within our region”, Quinn concluded.

Results of Quarterly Operations

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 increased to $12,270,000 as compared to $10,257,000 in the same prior year period. The net interest margin decreased to 3.60% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, a reduction of ten basis points versus the same quarter in 2009. The Company continues to lower its cost of funds as evidenced by a decrease of 42 basis points to 0.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 1.28% in the same prior year period. Average interest-earning assets increased by $315 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same prior year period.

Other income increased to $5,536,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $5,087,000 in the same prior year period.

Operating expenses amounted to $10,450,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $8,045,000 for the corresponding prior year period.

Results of Year-to-Date Operations
Net income totaled $16,581,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $3,208,000, or 24.0%, over 2009’s results. Diluted earnings per share totaled $2.17 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $2.07 in 2009, an increase of 4.8%, despite the issuance of over 1.5 million shares during 2010.

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, increased to $45,735,000 as compared to $36,570,000 in the same prior year period, reflecting a higher net interest margin on a year-to-date basis and higher levels of interest-earnings assets.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $247 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the same prior year period.

The provision for loan losses increased to $8,925,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $4,865,000 for the corresponding prior year period.

Other income increased to $23,793,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $17,685,000 in the same prior year period. This includes an increase in securities gains from $1,661,000 through December 31, 2009, to $3,636,000 through December 31, 2010. Operating expenses amounted to $37,552,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $31,967,000 for the corresponding prior year period.

Operating expense levels are often measured in the financial services industry by the efficiency ratio, which expresses non-interest expense, as a percentage of tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. Despite an increase in other expenses primarily related to the growth experienced in all business lines, including Orrstown Financial Advisors, mortgage origination, and retail, the Company was able to improve on its efficiency ratio, which was 54.9% for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 58.9% in 2009.

Financial Condition

Assets grew $316 million to $1.512 billion at December 31, 2010, up from $1.196 billion at December 31, 2009.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $160.5 million at December 31, 2010, as compared to $110.9 million at December 31, 2009, boosted by the completion of a common stock offering, in March 2010, that netted approximately $37.6 million in additional capital.

Asset Quality
Improvement was made in asset quality through the reduction in the levels of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing, other real estate owned and total delinquencies. The Company's non-accrual loans totaled $13.9 million at December 31, 2010, down $9.1 million, or 39.6%, from the high of $23.0 million at March 31, 2010. The Company continues to be diligent in its handling of nonperforming and other risk assets and has been able to reduce the level of risk assets from a high of $32.8 million at March 31, 2010, to $18.5 million as of December 31, 2010. Two large credits, totaling $7.6 million, have been worked off the books since March 2010, which resulted in a $2.0 million charge off in the second quarter. Although the Company’s ratio of total risk assets to total assets increased from 0.96% at December 31, 2009, to 1.22% at December 31, 2010, similar increases have been noted across the financial services industry and within our peer group. The Company’s allowance for loan losses covered its nonperforming loans and stood at 106% at December 31, 2010.

Lisa Dougherty, Director of Community Services, commented: “Most of the items will be used in the shelter and, with the donated items, we were able to create a 'care package' for a family (mother and child) moving from the shelter into a new home!

"Donations received from the community are essential to the work that we do," said Lisa.

We truly appreciate Orrstown Bank’s support of Women In Need and the work that we do."

The donations were organized by Barb Thompson, Administrative Services Supervisor at Orrstown Bank, who noted “It's nice to know that something so small as our donations can mean a big difference to so many people. Orrstown Bank...what a great place to work!”
