Peoples Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, The Peoples Bank, a Maryland-chartered bank (the “Bank”), and Fleetwood, Athey, Macbeth & McCown, Inc., a Maryland insurance agency (the “Insurance Agency”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or any other future interim period.  The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  When used in these notes, the term “Company” refers to Peoples Bancorp, Inc, and, unless the context requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) became effective on July 1, 2009.  At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative 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 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.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet issuance date of September 30, 2011 through November 2, 2011 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.  No significant subsequent events were identified that would affect the presentation of the financial statements.

2. 
Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and overnight investments in federal funds sold.

3.
Comprehensive (loss) income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, total comprehensive (loss) income, net of taxes, was ($768,239) and $633,182, respectively.  Comprehensive (loss) income is the sum of net (loss) income and the change in the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net of income (benefit) taxes.

Loan Origination/Risk Management .

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans.

Real Estate Loans

Real estate loans are broken into the following categories:  Residential; Commercial; Construction and Land Development; and Other Loans.

Residential real estate loans are underwritten subject to the borrower’s ability and willingness to repay, and a loan-to-value ratio of offered collateral of not more than 80% of the appraised value of the collateral.

Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral and cash flow. With respect to loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success.

Construction, including land development, loans are underwritten based on financial analyses of the developers and property owners, and estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

Commercial Loans :

Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and to prudently expand its business.  The Company’s management examines current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay its obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis.

Consumer Loans :

The Company originates consumer loans. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, underwriting policies and procedures are developed and modified as needed.  The Company believes that its monitoring activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk.

The Company obtains an independent loan review from a third party vendor that reviews and evaluates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.  Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs in Kent County, Northern Queen Anne’s County, and Southern Cecil County in Maryland.

The rate repricing and maturity distribution of the loan portfolio is as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators .

As part of the on-going monitoring of the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators.  The Bank utilizes credit-score for all loans.  Loans are risk rated based on the scale below:

Grade 1 through 4 – These grades include “pass grade” loans to borrowers of acceptable credit quality and risk.

Grade 5 – This grade includes loans that are on Management’s “watch list” and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near future.

Grade 6 – This grade is for “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” or “Special Mention” in accordance with regulatory guidelines.  This grade is intended to be temporary and includes loans to borrowers whose credit quality has clearly deteriorated and are at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation.  This grade may include loans not fully secured where a specific valuation allowance may be necessary.

Grade 7 through 9 – This grade includes “Substandard” loans, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, for which the accrual of interest may have stopped.  This grade includes loans that are past due or not fully secured where a specific valuation allowance may be necessary.

The following table illustrates classified loans by class.  Classified loans included loans in Risk Grades 5, 6, and 7 through 9.

A loan will be returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and management believes that future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which belief is typically evidenced by a sustained period (at least six months) of repayment performance by the borrower.

The modification of terms on a loan (restructuring) is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if it is done to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties.  The lender may forgive principal, lower the interest rate or payment amount, or may modify the payment due dates or maturity date of the loan for a troubled borrower.  The Company’s troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2011 are set forth in the following table:

5.           Commitments

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company’s customers.  Letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur.  These obligations are not recorded in the Company’s financial statements.  The credit risks inherent in loan commitments and letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and these arrangements are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies.  The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event the customer does not satisfy the terms of these arrangements equals the notional amount of the obligation less the value of any collateral.  The table below represents unfunded obligations at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

9.           Fair Value

The fair value of an asset or a liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability.  In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach.  Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.  Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.   FASB ASC valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.  FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates. volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
  
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the issuer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.  The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Although management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.  Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and, therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.  Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstance that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s monthly and quarterly valuation process.

The Company measures securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis.  The following table summarizes securities available for sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value.

The Company’s foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which means that the assets 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 reduced property value).  Foreclosed real estate measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, assuming that the sale prices of  the properties will be their current appraised values.  Appraised values are estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data and current property tax assessments.  Foreclosed real estate measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows.

The Company does not measure the fair value of any of its other financial assets or liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.  The fair value of financial instruments equals the carrying value of the instruments except as noted.

The fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated to be the present value of scheduled payments discounted using interest rates currently in effect.  The fair value of variable-rate loans, including loans with a demand feature, is estimated to equal the carrying amount of the loan.  The valuation of loans is adjusted for possible loan losses.

The fair value of interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount.  The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits and borrowings is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for deposits and borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of outstanding loan commitments, unused lines of credit, and letters of credit.

Recent Accounting Standards

Recent accounting pronouncements approved by FASB that apply to the Company are discussed below.  These pronouncements are not expected to have, or, if already effective, did not have, a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) - Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.”   ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period.  Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period became effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011. ASU 2011-01, “ Receivables (Topic 310) - Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 ,” temporarily deferred the effective date for disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings to coincide with the effective date of the then proposed ASU 2011-02, “ Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring ,” which is further discussed below.

 
23

 

ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2011.

ASU No. 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings and is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude, under the guidance clarified by ASU 2011-02, that both of the following exist:  (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011.

ASU No. 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.”   ASU 2011-03 is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion. ASU 2011-03 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2012.

ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.”   ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures.  ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”   ASU 2011-05 amends Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310) - Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” ASU 2010-20 requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. ASU 2010-20 became effective for the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period became effective for the Company’s financial statements beginning on January 1, 2011. ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310) - Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20,” temporarily deferred the effective date for disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings to coincide with the effective date of the then proposed ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring,” which is further discussed below.

ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the unaudited consolidated financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.  Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.  Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the consolidated financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event.  Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility.  The fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available.

The policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined.  Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses as the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such should be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) represents management’s best estimate of identified and inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Adequacy of the ALL is evaluated no less than quarterly.  Determining the amount of the ALL is difficult and calls for numerous subjective judgments as it relies on estimates of potential loss on individual loans, the effects of portfolio trends due to evolving market conditions, and other internal and external factors.

The ALL consists of formula-based reserves for potential losses in the balances of specific segments of the loan portfolio, specific reserve amounts for potential losses on loans management has identified as impaired, and unallocated reserves not associated with a specific loan or portfolio segment.

The Bank evaluates loan portfolio risk for the purpose of establishing an adequate ALL.  Management considers historical loss experience for all segments of the loan portfolio in order to determine an adequate level for the formula based portion of the ALL.  Different segments of the loan portfolio are evaluated based on loss experience using a 36-month rolling historical loss ratio.  Based on this evaluation, management applies a formula to current portfolio balances in the different portfolio segments, giving weight to portfolio segment size and loss experience for real estate construction and land development loans, other real estate secured loans, other loans to commercial borrowers and other personal loans to consumers.

Historical data may not present a complete prediction of loss potential in the current loan portfolio.  Bearing this in mind, management also evaluates trends in delinquencies, lending volume, and changes in lending practices and policies. Management further considers external factors such as current local and national economic conditions and trends, reviews by independent loan review vendors, reviews by our outside auditors, and the results of examinations by bank regulatory authorities.  Further information about the methodology used to determine the allowance is discussed below under the heading “Loan Quality”.

The following discussion is designed to provide a better understanding of the financial position of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report, and in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in the Annual Report of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $430,366, or ($0.55) per share, and $768,124, or ($0.99) per share, respectively, compared to net income of $288,235, or $0.37 per share, and $621,425, or $0.80 per share, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.  The decreases for the three months (249.31%) and nine months (223.61%) ended September 30, 2011 over the same periods last year resulted primarily from decreased net interest income and increases in the loan loss provision and other operating expenses.  The Insurance Agency’s net income for the first nine months of 2011 increased by $6,461 to $160,591 when compared to the $154,130 realized for the same time period in 2010.

Net Interest Income

The primary source of income for the Company is net interest income, which is the difference between revenue on interest-earning assets, such as investment securities and loans, and interest incurred on interest-bearing sources of funds, such as deposits and borrowings.

The key performance measure for net interest income is the “net margin on interest-earning assets,” or net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.  The Company’s net interest margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was 4.01%, compared to 4.04% for the same period in 2010.  The net margin may decline if competition increases, loan demand decreases, or the cost of funds rises faster than the return on loans and securities.  The net margin may also be adversely impacted by a number of factors which cannot be predicted and are beyond our control.

Net interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $2,155,269, which represents an increase of $42,921 or 2.03% from net interest income for the same period in 2010.  Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $6,396,772, which represents a decrease of $273,277 or 4.10% from the net interest income for the first nine months of 2010.  The primary contributor to the decrease was the reduction in interest earning assets.

Interest revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $2,931,636 and $8,834,958, respectively, compared to $3,048,455 and $9,535,548, respectively, for the same periods last year, representing decreases of $116,819 or 3.83% and $691,590 or 7.25%, respectively.  We recorded a $533,939 decrease in interest earned on loans as a direct result of nonaccrual loan balances increasing when compared to the first nine months of 2010. Additionally, there was a $166,810 decrease in income on U. S. Government Agency securities for the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same time period in 2010.  This decrease was the direct result of a $656,697 decline in the average balance of U.S. Government Agency securities and lower interest rates on securities as they re-priced when compared to the same period in 2010.

Interest expense for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 totaled $776,367 and $2,447,186, respectively, compared to $936,107 and $2,865,499, respectively, for the same periods last year, representing decreases of $159,740 or 17.06% and $418,313 or 14.60%, respectively.  The Company decreased its FHLB borrowings during the first nine months of 2011 from $24,000,000 at December 31, 2009 to $21,000,000 at September 30, 2010.  FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2010 were $24,000,000.  As a result, interest expense on borrowed funds for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $127,968 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $3,875,000 for the first nine months of 2011, compared to $1,985,000 for the same period of 2010.  The increase in the provision was in response to the increase in net charge-offs, and specific allocations for impaired loans.  Additional information regarding risk elements in the loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses and management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses are discussed below in the section entitled “Loan Quality.”

Noninterest Revenue

Noninterest revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011 totaled $607,809, which represents a decrease of 5.81% from the $645,287 recorded for the same period in 2010.  The decrease resulted primarily from a loss of $42,459 on the sale of foreclosed real estate, compared to a gain on foreclosed real estate of $51,091 for the same period in 2010.  For the first nine months of 2011, noninterest revenue was $1,868,801, compared to $1,784,378 for the same period last year, representing an increase of 4.72%.  The increase was mainly attributable to the $148,044, or 23.06%, increase to service charges on deposit accounts.  Insurance Agency contingency income increased $41,497, or 4.37%, over the first nine months 2010.  Insurance Agency contingency income is based on sales of new policies to customers and claims against existing policies for the prior year. In addition, we experienced a decrease in other noninterest revenue of $97,726, or 39.65%, when compared to the same period of 2010.

Noninterest Expense

The Company recorded noninterest expense of $2,097,740 and $5,839,800 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $1,827,290 and $5,541,055, respectively, for the same periods in 2010, representing respective increases of $270,450, or 14.80%, and $298,745, or 5.39%.  The increases were mainly attributable to increased other operating expenses of $368,983 for the first nine months of 2011.  The items in other operating expenses contributing to the increases are other real estate expense increase of $339,657 and increased other expenses of $79,348.  These increases were offset by a $25,687 decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $39,476 decrease in FDIC insurance assessments.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 was 45.2% and 47.0%, respectively, compared to 35.3% and 33.1%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.  The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $354,296 and $681,303 for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the income tax expense of $157,110 and $306,947, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.  Losses before income tax during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 contributed to the decreases in income tax expense when compared to the same periods of last year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2011 were $248,966,885, compared to $245,792,415 at December 31, 2010, representing an increase of $3,174,470 or 1.29%.

Total liabilities at September 30, 2011 were $222,600,200, compared to $218,400,251 at December 31, 2010, representing an increase of  $4,199,949 or 1.92%.

Stockholders’ equity was $26,366,685 at September 30, 2011, compared to $27,392,164 at December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $1,025,479.  The decrease was due to a net loss for the first nine months of 2011 totaling $768,124, plus a $115 decrease in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale net of income taxes and dividends paid to stockholders of $257,240.

Return on average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was (3.80)%, compared to 2.90% for the same period in 2010.  Return on average assets was (0.41)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 0.33% for the same period in 2010.

Composition of Loan Portfolio

At September 30, 2011, loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $193,363,630, a decrease of $13,932,247 since December 31, 2010.  Because loans are expected to produce higher yields than investment securities and other interest-earning assets, the absolute volume of loans and the volume as a percentage of total earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin.  Average loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, were $200,979,526 and $206,785,918 during the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, which constituted 92.81% and 92.24% of average interest-earning assets for the respective periods.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our average loan to deposit ratio was 102.79%, compared to 109.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The securities sold under repurchase agreements function like deposits, with the securities providing collateral in place of the FDIC insurance. Our ratio of average loans to deposits plus borrowed funds was 91.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 95.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company extends credit primarily to customers located in and near the Maryland counties of Kent County, Queen Anne’s County, and Cecil County.  There are no industry concentrations in our loan portfolio.  A substantial portion of our loans are, however, secured by real estate, and the real estate market in the region, which is directly impacted by the local economy, will influence the performance of the Company’s portfolio and the value of the collateral securing the portfolio.

Loan Quality
 
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in the loan portfolio.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due, and other loans that management believes require attention.  The determination of the reserve level rests upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions about the economy.  Management believes that the allowance as of September 30, 2011 is adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio identified as of that date; however, management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may not prove valid.  Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan loss allowance will not be required.

For significant problem loans, management's review consists of evaluation of the financial strengths of the borrowers and guarantors, the related collateral, and the effects of economic conditions.  The overall evaluation of the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses is based on an three year analysis of historical loan loss ratios, loan charge-offs, delinquency trends, and previous collection experience, along with an assessment of the effects of external economic conditions.  The allowance may be increased to accommodate reserves for specific loans identified as substandard during management's loan review.  Net recoveries and/or decreases in loans may cause the allowance as a percentage of gross loans to exceed our target.  Historically, our regulators have discouraged negative provisions, however, management would consider a negative provision if warranted.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period to replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level management has determined to be adequate.

The allowance for loan losses decreased to $4,220,634 at September 30, 2011, from $5,656,788 at December 31, 2010.  The provision for loan losses was $3,875,000 for the first nine months of 2011, compared to $1,985,000 for the same period of 2010.  The increase in the provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same period of 2010 was in response to the increase in net charge-offs, the results of our quarterly review of the adequacy of the factors discussed previously, and specific allocations for impaired loans.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 2.14% and 2.66%, respectively.  As part of our loan review process, management has noted an increase in foreclosures and bankruptcies in the geographic areas where we operate.  Additionally, the current nationwide recession has had a significant and adverse impact on real estate values and sales over the past 12 months.  Consequently, we have closely reviewed our loan portfolio and applied sensitivity analysis to collateral values to ensure that we are adequately measuring potential future losses.

Our policy is to obtain or perform updated collateral valuations on impaired loans at least annually to measure impaired loans for potential future losses.  Our valuations use staff evaluations, tax assessments, government assessment information, and evaluations and updated appraisals from licensed appraisers.  Impairment measurement is for potential future losses.  Collateral valuation is assessed and adjusted quarterly in light of general market conditions, the age and condition of the property, and adjoining property values and conditions.  Specific allocations of the allowance have been provided in instances in which management has determined that losses may occur.

The following table sets forth activity in the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

As a general rule, a loan, or a portion thereof, is deemed uncollectable and is charged-off as and when required by bank regulatory guidelines, which provide that the loan, or portion thereof, should be charged-off when the Company becomes aware of the loss.  The Company becomes aware of a loss upon the occurrence of one or more triggering events, including, among other things, the receipt of new information about the borrower’s intent and/or ability to repay the loan, the severity of delinquency, the borrower’s bankruptcy, the detection of fraud, or the borrower’s death.  Management believes it has identified and charged off all significant losses in the loan portfolio, but there can be no assurance that additional losses will not occur in future periods.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding has increased due to the economic conditions being felt in our market area.

As a result of management’s ongoing review of the loan portfolio, loans are classified as nonaccrual when it is not reasonable to expect collection of interest under the original terms.  These loans are classified as nonaccrual even though the presence of collateral or the borrower’s financial strength may be sufficient to provide for ultimate repayment.  Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized only when received.  A loan is generally placed in nonaccrual status when it is specifically determined to be impaired and it becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest that had been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from earnings as a reduction of reported interest income.  No additional interest is accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.  A loan will be returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and management believes that future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which belief is typically evidenced by a sustained period (at least six months) of repayment performance by the borrower.

The Company had loans past due 90 days or more including nonaccrual loans of  $8,639,061, $7,923,834 and $11,694,138 at September 30, 2011, September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  These loans are detailed below:

Loans are classified as impaired when the collection of contractual obligations, including principal and interest, is doubtful.  Management believes that it has identified all significant impaired loans as of September 30, 2011 and has made the appropriate charge to the Bank’s loan loss reserve.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Average interest-bearing deposits increased $3,662,272 or 2.38% to $157,349,775 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $153,687,503 for the same period in 2010.  Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2,753,366 or 7.77% to $38,179,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $35,426,592 for the same period in 2010.  Average total deposits increased 3.39% or $6,415,638 to $195,529,733 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $189,114,095 for the same period in 2010.  Average borrowed funds, primarily from the FHLB of Atlanta to fund loan demand, decreased 12.91% to $24,734,736 from $28,401,635 at September 30, 2010.

Deposits, particularly core deposits, have been our primary sources of funding and have enabled us to meet both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.  Management anticipates that deposits will grow and continue to be our primary source of funding for the foreseeable future.  It should be noted, however, that investor confidence in alternatives to deposit accounts, which may pay yields that are higher than those paid on deposits, typically increases when the economy and stock markets perform well.  Increased investor confidence in nondeposit investment products in future periods would likely have an adverse impact on our deposit growth.  In addition, changes in governmental monetary policy, especially interest rates, may impact our ability to attract and retain deposits.

Short-term Borrowings
 
The following table sets forth our position with respect to short-term borrowings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Retail Repurchase Agreements
  $ 2,672,894       1.28 %   $ 2,754,321       1.76 %

We may borrow up to approximately 30% of total assets from the FHLB through any combination of notes or line of credit advances.  Both the notes payable and the line of credit are secured by a floating lien on all of our real estate mortgage loans.  The Company was required to purchase shares of capital stock in the FHLB as a condition to obtaining the line of credit.

We provide collateral of 105% of the repurchase agreement balances by pledging U.S. Government Agency securities.

As of September 30, 2011, the Bank had lines of credit of $6,650,000 in unsecured overnight federal funds and $5,000,000 in secured overnight federal funds with correspondent banks.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations that arise out of the ordinary course of business.  Liquidity is needed primarily to fund loans, meet depositor withdrawal requirements, and fund current and planned expenditures.  The Company derives liquidity through increased customer deposits, maturities in the investment portfolio, loan repayments and income from earning assets.  To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund customer loan demand, liquidity needs can be met in the short-term funds markets through lines of credit totaling $11,650,000 from correspondent banks.  The Bank is also a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, which provides another source of liquidity through a secured line of credit in the amount of $28,478,065 of which $21,000,000 was advanced as of September 30, 2011.  We also have the ability to borrow secured funds through the Federal Reserve’s Discount window as necessary.

Bank regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards, including risk-based capital standards, that apply to financial institutions like the Company.  The primary objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of financial institutions and to take into account the different risks among financial institutions’ assets and off-balance sheet items.

Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio).  In addition, regulatory agencies consider the published capital levels as minimum levels and may require a financial institution to maintain capital at higher levels.  A comparison of the Company’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2011 to the minimum ratios required by federal banking regulators is presented below.

Item 3.                     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company is a “smaller reporting company” and is not required to include the information required by this item.

Item 4.                     Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Peoples Bancorp, Inc. files under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer, who also serves as the principal accounting officer (the “CEO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls was carried out as of September 30, 2011 under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the third quarter of 2011, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
