The
Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2006, that it expected to make payments of $1.7 million for its
qualified and non-qualified retirement plans and $92 thousand for its other
postretirement benefit plans in 2007. As of June 30, 2007, $895 thousand and
$49 thousand have been paid from its retirement plans and other
postretirement plans, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007,
the Corporation contributed $250 thousand and $49 thousand to its
non-qualified retirement plans and other postretirement plans, respectively.
The
Corporation presently anticipates making essentially equal payments for the
remaining quarters in 2007 to fund the non-qualified retirement plan and other
postretirement plans.
Note
7. SFAS
No. 133, “Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”
At
June
30, 2006, the total notional amount of the “Pay Floating, Receive Fixed” swap
outstanding was $20.0 million. The net payable or receivable from the
interest-rate swap agreement was accrued as an adjustment to interest income.
The $20.0 million notional amount of interest-rate swap outstanding expired
on
November 2, 2006. There were no swaps outstanding at June 30, 2007 or December
31, 2006.
Note
8. Income Taxes
Effective
January 1, 2007 the Corporation adopted Financial Interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance on financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
According to FIN 48, a tax position is recognized if it is
more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination,
including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based
on
the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to
determine the amount of benefit to recognize and should be measured at the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition.
As
of
January 1, 2007 the Corporation had no material unrecognized tax benefits,
accrued interest or penalties. Penalties are recorded in non-interest expense
in
the year they are assessed and are treated as a non-deductible expense for
tax
purposes. Interest is recorded in non-interest expense in the year it is
assessed and is treated as a deductible expense for tax purposes. As of January
1, 2007, Tax Years 2003 through 2006 remain subject to Federal examination
as
well as examination by state taxing jurisdictions.
Note
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reach a conclusion on
EITF No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit
Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF 06-4.”)
EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
Under EITF 06-4, if an
agreement is to provide the employee with a death benefit in a
postretirement/termination period, the employer should recognize a liability
for
the future death benefit in accordance with either Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
12. EITF
06-4
requires that recognition of the effects of adoption should be either by
(a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment
to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a
change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior
periods.
The
potential impact to Univest will be negative cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings of approximately $1.6 million and would not be tax
affected.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about
fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when other accounting pronouncement require
fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. The
Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material
impact on its financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115)” (“SFAS 159.”) SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities
to
minimize volatility in reported earnings caused by related assets and
liabilities being measured differently. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159
apply
only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, SFAS 159 includes
an
amendment to SFAS 115 which applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Entities
electing the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in
earnings and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings
as they are incurred, not deferred. The following items are eligible for the
fair value measurement option established by SFAS 159: 1) Recognized financial
assets and financial liabilities, except (a) an investment in a subsidiary
that
is required to be consolidated, (b) an interest in a variable interest entity
that is required to be consolidated, (c) obligations (or assets representing
net
over funded positions) for pension plans, other postretirement benefits, post
employment benefits, employee stock option and stock purchase plans, and other
forms of deferred compensation arrangements, (d) financial assets and
liabilities recognized under leases, (e) demand deposit liabilities of financial
institutions, and (f) financial instruments classified by the issuer as a
component of shareholder’s equity; 2) firm commitments that would otherwise not
be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments; 3)
nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle
by
paying a third party to provide those goods or services; and, 4) host financial
instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative
instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument. The fair value option may
be
applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, such as
investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method or multiple advanced
made to one borrower under a single contract. The fair value option is
irrevocable unless a new election date occurs and applies only to entire
instruments and not to portions of instruments. Entities are permitted to elect
fair value option for any eligible item within the scope of SFAS 159 at the
date they initially adopt the SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference
between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and
liabilities for which an entity elects fair value option is reported as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon
adoption. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s second fiscal
year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of
the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007,
provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The
Corporation chose not to adopt SFAS 159 early. The Corporation does not
anticipate the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial
statements.

Executive
Overview
The
Corporation recorded net income for the six months ended June
30,
2007 of
$12.3 million, a 0.8% increase over the June
30,
2006
period.
Average
earning assets increased $122.7 million and average interest-bearing liabilities
increased $116.5 million when comparing the six-month periods ended
June
30,
2007
and 2006. Increased volume of commercial loans and lease financings and
increased rates on commercial business loans and (commercial construction real
estate loans), partially offset by increased rates and volume of money market
savings and increased rates on certificates of deposits, contributed to a $536
thousand increase in net interest income. The tax-equivalent net interest margin
declined slightly to 3.74% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared
to 3.98% for the same period in 2006.
Non-interest
income grew 11.22%, when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007
to
2006, primarily due to increases in insurance commissions and fee income,
investment advisory commissions and fee income, and other service fee income.
Non-interest expense grew 5.99% primarily due to an increase in salary and
employee benefit expense slightly offset by a decrease in marketing and
adverting expenses.
The
Corporation earns its revenues primarily from the margins and fees it generates
from the loan and lease and depository services it provides as well as from
trust, insurance and investment commissions and fees. The Corporation seeks
to
achieve adequate and reliable earnings by growing its business while maintaining
adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting its exposure to credit
and
interest rate risk to Board approved levels. As interest rates increase,
fixed-rate assets that banks hold will tend to decrease in value while the
margin impact will vary from bank to bank based upon the structure of its
balance sheet. The Corporation maintains a relatively low interest rate risk
profile and does not anticipate that an increase in interest rates would be
adverse to its net interest margin.
The
Corporation seeks to establish itself as the financial provider of choice in
the
markets it serves. It plans to achieve this goal by offering a broad range
of
high quality financial products and services and by increasing market awareness
of its brand and the benefits that can be derived from its products. The
Corporation operates in an attractive market for financial services but also
is
in intense competition with domestic and international banking organizations
and
other insurance and investment providers for the financial services business.
The Corporation has taken initiatives to achieve its business objectives by
acquiring banks and other financial service providers in strategic markets,
through marketing, public relations and advertising, by establishing standards
of service excellence for its customers, and by using technology to ensure
that
the needs of its customers are understood and satisfied.

Return
on
average shareholders' equity was 12.83% and return on average assets was 1.26%
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 13.53% and 1.32%,
respectively, for the same period in 2006.
Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases,
investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits
and
other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the principal source
of the Corporation's revenue. The following table presents a summary of the
Corporation's average balances; the tax-equivalent yields earned on average
assets, and the cost of average liabilities for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006. Sensitivities associated with the mix of assets and
liabilities are numerous and complex. The Asset/Liability Management and
Investment committees work to maintain an adequate and reliable net interest
margin for the Corporation.
Net
interest income increased $83 thousand for the three months ended June 30,
2007
compared to 2006 primarily due to increased volume on lease financings and
increased volume and rates on commercial loans and commercial real estate and
construction loans, partially offset by increased volume and rates on money
market savings deposits and increased rates on certificates of deposit. The
tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is tax-equivalent net interest income
as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.71% and 3.95% for
the
three month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The
tax-equivalent net interest spread, which represents the difference between
the
weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the
weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.13% for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.47% for the same period in 2006. The
effect of net interest free funding sources increased to 0.58% for the three
month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2006;
this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided
by
noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’
equity.

Notes:
Tax-equivalent amounts have been calculated using the Corporation’s
federal applicable rate of 35 percent.
Nonaccrual
loan and lease unearned discounts have been included in the average loan and
lease balances.
Interest
Income
The
growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased volume and
rates on commercial business loans and commercial and construction real estate
loans and increased volume of lease financings. The average interest yield
on
the commercial loan portfolio increased 51 basis points, primarily due to 36
basis point increase in the average prime rate, for the three months ended
June
30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; which, along with average volume
increases of $35.0 million, contributed to a $1.2 million increase in
interest income. The average yield on commercial and construction real estate
loans increased by 36 basis points; this along with average volume
increases of $13.9 million contributed to a $643 thousand increase in interest
income. Lease financing’s growth in volume of $43.0 million contributed to the
$956 thousand increase in interest income.
Interest
on investments, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold increased
primarily due to rate increases on U.S. Government agency obligations and
average volume and rate increases in other securities.
Interest
Expense
The
Corporation’s average rate on deposits increased 74 basis points for the three
months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the same period in 2006. The average rate paid on money market
savings increased 59 basis points due to new products and promotions offered
to
grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace. Interest expense on
certificates of deposit increased $1.1 million, due to an 86 basis-point
increase in average rate. Average rate increases along with the average volume
growth of $71.3 million, contributed to a $2.9 million increase in interest
expense on deposits.
Interest
expense on short-term borrowings includes interest paid on federal funds
purchased and short-term FHLB borrowings. In addition, the Bank offers an
automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a
repurchase agreement account (“sweep accounts”). Interest expense on federal
funds purchased increased $112 thousand due to average volume increase of $8.2
million and a 18 basis point increase in the average rate paid.
Interest
expense on long-term debt increased $374 thousand due to an average volume
increase of $27.2 million and a 39 basis-point increase in the
rate.
Provision
For Loan and Lease Losses
The
reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a periodic evaluation
that takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio, the
status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending
activities, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant
changes in charge-off activity. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based
on
discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the
fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided
for under SFAS No. 114. Any of the above criteria may cause the provision
to fluctuate. The bank’s primary regulators, as an integral part of their
examination process, may require adjustments to the allowance. Continued growth
in loan and lease volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need
for
an increase to the reserve in 2007. The provision for loan and lease losses
for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $653 thousand and $515
thousand, respectively.
Noninterest
Income
Noninterest
income consists of trust department fees, service charges on deposits,
commissions, net gains on sales of securities, and other miscellaneous types
of
income. It also includes various types of service fees, such as ATM fees, and
life insurance income which primarily represents changes in the cash surrender
value of bank-owned insurance. Total noninterest income increased during the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to higher
insurance commission and fee income.
The
following table presents noninterest income for the periods
indicated:

Trust
fee
income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased slightly over 2006
primarily due to an increase in the number and market value of managed accounts.
Service charges on deposit accounts grew slightly in 2007 compared to 2006.
This
was a result of an increase in nonsufficient-funds fees and money manager fees.
These increases were offset by reductions in regular checking service fee
charges resulting from free-checking products introduced during 2006.
Investment
advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest
Investments, Inc., increased in 2007 over 2006 due to market activity and
volume. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income
for
Univest Insurance, Inc., grew approximately $392 thousand primarily due to
the
acquisition of B.G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006.
Life
insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of bank
owned life insurance policies, which is primarily affected by the market value
of the underlying assets. There was a $177 thousand increase in the value of
these policies when compared to the same period in 2006.
Net
gains
on the sales of securities increased slightly and the net loss recognized on
dispositions of fixed asset remained stable when compared to the same period
in
2006. The details of these items are discussed below.
Other
service fee income consists primarily of fees from credit card companies for
a
portion of merchant charges paid to the credit card companies for the Bank’s
customer debit card usage (“Mastermoney fees”), non-customer debit card fees,
other merchant fees, mortgage servicing income and mortgage placement income.
Other service fee income increased for the second quarter of 2007 over 2006
primarily due to increases in Mastermoney fees, merchant fees and mortgage
servicing fees.
Other
non-interest income includes loss on investments in partnerships, gains on
sales
of mortgages, gains on sales of other real estate owned, reinsurance income
and
other miscellaneous income. Other non-interest income increased over prior
year
primarily due to the $76 thousand decline of losses recognized on investments
in
partnerships.
Gains
on Sale of Assets
Sales
of
$1.3 million in loans and leases during three months ended June 30, 2007
resulted in gains of $37 thousand compared to sales of $738 thousand for
gains of $7 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $3.6 million in
available-for-sale securities were sold, resulting in a gain of $51 thousand.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, approximately $31 thousand of
securities were sold recognizing gains of $1 thousand; the Corporation also
received $46 thousand resulting from the mandatory sale of shares created
through conversion of one of its vendor relationships from a membership
association to a private share corporation.
During
the second quarter of 2007, the Corporation relocated a Bucks County banking
office within one of the supermarket branch locations to a traditional office,
recognizing a loss of $64 thousand. During the three months ended June 30,
2006,
the Corporation relocated a Montgomery County banking office within one of
its
supermarket locations and recognized a loss of $65 thousand; this was slightly
reduced by gains on sales of other fixed assets.
There
were no sales of other real estate owned during the three months ended June
30,
2007 and 2006.
Noninterest
Expense
The
operating costs of the Corporation are known as noninterest expense, and
include, but are not limited to, salaries and benefits, equipment expense,
and
occupancy costs. Expense control is very important to the management of the
Corporation, and every effort is made to contain and minimize the growth of
operating expenses.

Salary
and benefits increased due to normal annual increases, the acquisition of B.G.
Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006, and increased benefit costs for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007 when compared to June 30, 2006. Net occupancy
expense increased primarily due to increased rental obligations for the B.G.
Balmer and Co. and the Vernfield office rents. Marketing and advertising
expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in radio and newspaper
advertising costs. Other expenses increased primarily due an increase in the
bank shares tax, audit and examination fees and amortization costs associated
with customer lists. These increases were partially offset by decreases in
consultant fees and sales training expenses.
Tax
Provision
The
provision for income taxes was $2.1 million for the three months ended June
30,
2007 compared to $2.2 million in 2006, at effective rates of 26.06% and 26.73%,
respectively. The effective tax rates reflect the benefits of tax credits
generated from investments in low-income housing projects and tax-exempt income
from investments in municipal securities, loans and bank-owned life insurance.
The decrease in the effective tax rate between the three-month periods is
primarily due to growth in amount the cash surrender value of bank-owned life
insurance policies increased partially offset by a decrease in tax credits
generated from investments in low-income housing projects.

Return
on
average shareholders' equity was 13.08% and return on average assets was 1.29%
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 13.88% and 1.37%,
respectively, for the same period in 2006.
Net
Interest Income
Net
interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments
and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other
interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is the principal source of
the
Corporation's revenue. The following table presents a summary of the
Corporation's average balances; the tax-equivalent yields earned on average
assets, and the cost of average liabilities for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006. Sensitivities associated with the mix of assets and liabilities
are numerous and complex. The Asset/Liability Management and Investment
committees work to maintain an adequate and reliable net interest margin for
the
Corporation.
Net
interest income increased $536 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to 2006 primarily due to increased volume and rates on commercial
loans
and commercial real estate and construction loans and the volume of lease
financings, partially offset by increased volume and rates on money market
savings deposits and increased rates on certificates of deposit. The
tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is tax-equivalent net interest income
as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 3.74% for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2007 and 3.98% for the same period in 2006. The
tax-equivalent net interest spread, which represents the difference between
the
weighted average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets and the
weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.17% for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 3.52% for the same period in 2006. The
effect of net interest free funding sources increased to 0.57% for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 0.46% for the same period in 2006;
this represents the effect on the net interest margin of net funding provided
by
noninterest-earning assets, noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’
equity.

Notes:
Tax-equivalent
amounts have been calculated using the Corporation’s federal applicable rate of
35 percent.
Nonaccrual
loan and lease unearned discounts have been included in the average loan
and
lease balances.
Interest
Income
The
growth in interest and fees on loans is due primarily to increased volume
and
rates on commercial business loans and commercial and construction real estate
loans. The average interest yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased
66
basis points, primarily due to 69 basis point increase in the average prime
rate, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period
in
2006; which, along with average volume increases of $38.8 million,
contributed to a $2.7 million increase in interest income. The average
yield on commercial and construction real estate loans increased by
49 basis points; this along with average volume increases of $22.7 million
contributed to a $1.9 million increase in interest income. Lease financings’
growth in volume of $37.1 million contributed to $1.6 million in interest
income.
Interest
Expense
The
Corporation’s average rate on deposits increased 87 basis points for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The average
rate
paid on money market savings increased 81 basis points due to new products
and promotions offered to grow deposits in the Bank’s competitive marketplace;
which along with a $68.1 million increase in volume contributed to a $2.6
million increase in interest expense. Interest on certificates of deposit
increased $2.7 million, primarily due to a 92 basis-point increase in average
rate.
Interest
expense on short-term borrowings includes interest paid on federal funds
purchased and short-term FHLB borrowings. In addition, the Bank offers an
automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a
repurchase agreement account (“sweep accounts”). Interest expense on federal
funds purchased increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to
2006 primarily due to an increase in volume of $11.9 million and a 29
basis-point increase in the average rate paid.
Interest
on long-term debt increased primarily due to a $23.8 million dollar increase
in
volume and a 35 basis-point increase in the rate paid on FHLB borrowings.
Provision
for Loan and Lease Losses
The
reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a periodic evaluation
that takes into consideration the growth of the loan and lease portfolio,
the
status of past-due loans, current economic conditions, various types of lending
activities, policies, real estate and other loan commitments, and significant
changes in charge-off activity. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based
on
discounted cash flows using the loans' initial effective interest rate or
the
fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided
for under SFAS No. 114. Any of the above criteria may cause the provision
to
fluctuate. The bank’s primary regulators, as an integral part of their
examination process, may require adjustments to the allowance. Continued
growth
in loan and lease volumes and current economic conditions indicated the need
for
an increase to the reserve in 2007. The provision for the six months ended
June
30, 2007 and 2006 was $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Non-interest
Income
Non-interest
income consists of trust department fee income, service charges on deposits
income, commission income, net gains on sales of securities, and other
miscellaneous types of income. It also includes various types of service
fees,
such as ATM fees, and life insurance income which primarily represents changes
in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. Total noninterest
income increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006
primarily due to higher insurance commissions and fees, investment advisory
commission as well as other service fee income.

Trust
fee
income decreased in 2007 over 2006 as market value increases on managed accounts
were less in 2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. Service charges
on
deposit accounts grew slightly in 2007 compared to 2006. This was a result
of an
increase in nonsufficient-funds fees and money manager fees. These increases
were offset by reductions in regular checking service fee charges resulting
from
free-checking products introduced during 2006.
Investment
advisory commissions and fee income, the primary source of income for Univest
Investments, Inc., increased in 2007 over 2006 due to market activity and
volume. Insurance commissions and fee income, the primary source of income
for
Univest Insurance, Inc., grew approximately $890 thousand primarily due to
the
acquisition of B.G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006.
Life
insurance income is primarily the change in the cash surrender values of
bank
owned life insurance policies, which is primarily affected by the market
value
of the underlying assets. The increase in value of these policies was more
in
2007 when compared to the same period in 2006.
Other
service fee income primarily consists of fees from credit card companies
for a
portion of merchant charges paid to the credit card companies for the Bank’s
customer debit card usage (“Mastermoney fees”), non-customer debit card fees,
other merchant fees, mortgage servicing income and mortgage placement income.
Other service fee income increased for the second quarter of 2007 over 2006
primarily due to increases in Mastermoney fees, merchant fees and mortgage
servicing fees.
Net
gains
on the sales of securities increased slightly and the net loss recognized
on
dispositions of fixed asset declined when compared to the same period in
2006.
The details of these items are discussed below.
Other
non-interest income includes loss on investments in partnerships, gains on
sales
of mortgages, gains on sales of other real estate owned, reinsurance income
and
other miscellaneous income. Other non-interest income decreased over prior
year
primarily due to the $139 thousand gain on sales of other real estate owned
that
was recognized during the first six months of 2006 and a $77 thousand decline
in
miscellaneous income. These decreases were offset by an increase of $23 thousand
in the sale of loans and leases and a $122 decline in the losses recognized
on
investments in partnerships.
Gains
on Sale of Assets
Sales
of
$1.6 million in loans and leases during the first six months ended June 30,
2007
resulted in gains of $41 thousand compared to sales of $1.2 million for
gains of $18 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, approximately $7.8 million and
$1.6
million of securities were sold recognizing gains of $51 thousand and $1
thousand respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the
Corporation also recognized a $46 thousand resulting from the mandatory sale
of
shares created through conversion of one of its vendor relationships from
a
membership association to a private share corporation.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Corporation relocated a banking office
within one of the supermarket branch locations to a traditional office,
recognizing a loss of $64 thousand. During the six months ended June 30,
2006,
the Corporation relocated a banking office within one of its Bucks and
Montgomery County supermarket locations and recognized a loss of $65 thousand.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation sold two other real estate
owned properties resulting in a gain of $139 thousand. There were no sales
of
other real estate owned during the six months ended June 30,
2007.
Non-interest
Expense
The
operating costs of the Corporation are known as non-interest expense, and
include, but are not limited to, salaries and benefits, equipment expense,
and
occupancy costs. Expense control is very important to the management of the
Corporation, and every effort is made to contain and minimize the growth
of
operating expenses.

Salary
and benefits increased due to the normal annual increases, the acquisition
of B.
G. Balmer and Co. in the third quarter of 2006. Net occupancy expense increased
primarily due to the increased rental obligations associated with the new
West
Chester insurance office and the new Doylestown corporate banking office.
Equipment
expenses grew only slightly when comparing the first six months of 2007 to
the
same period in 2006. Marketing and advertising costs declined significantly
over
prior year primarily due to decreased radio and newspaper advertising expense.
Other
expenses increased primarily due an increase in the bank shares tax, audit
and
examination fees, legal fees and amortization costs associated with customer
lists. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consultant fees
and
sales training expenses.
Tax
Provision
The
provision for income taxes was $4.5 million for the first six months ended
June
30, 2007 compared to $4.4 million in 2006, at effective rates of 26.63% and
26.53%, respectively. The effective tax rates reflect the benefits of tax
credits generated from investments in low-income housing projects and tax-exempt
income from investments in municipal securities, loans and bank-owned life
insurance. The increase in the effective tax rate between the six-month periods
is primarily due to a reduction in tax credits and an increase in pre-tax
income
partially offset by growth in the amount the cash surrender value of bank-owned
life insurance policies increased.
Financial
Condition
Assets
Total
assets increased $48.8 million since December 31, 2006. The increase was
primarily due to net growth in loans and investment securities. The following

Investment
Securities
The
investment portfolio is managed as part of the overall asset and liability
management process to optimize income and market performance over an entire
interest rate cycle while mitigating risk. Activity in this portfolio is
undertaken primarily to manage liquidity and interest rate risk and to take
advantage of market conditions that create more economically attractive returns
on these investments. The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S.
Government agency, mortgage-backed and municipal securities.
Total
investments increased primarily due to purchases of $66.2 million, partially
offset by maturities of $26.7 million, calls of $14.0 million and sales of
$7.8
million.
Loans
and Leases
Total
loans and leases increased in the six months ended of 2007 due to increases
in
lease financings of $25.5 million, commercial loans of $3.9 million, real
estate
construction loans of $3.4 million
and real
estate residential loans of $3.2 million. These increases were offset slightly
by a decrease in non-real estate related loans to individuals of
$6.9 million.
Asset
Quality
Performance
of the entire loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis by bank management
and loan officers. A number of factors regarding the borrower, such as overall
financial strength, collateral values, and repayment ability, are considered
in
deciding what actions should be taken when determining the collectibility
of
interest for accrual purposes.
When
a
loan, including a loan impaired under SFAS No. 114, is classified as nonaccrual,
the accrual of interest on such a loan is discontinued. A loan is classified
as
nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become
90
days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectibility
of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A
loan
may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is
either
guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid
interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest
accrued in prior years is charged against other expense. Interest received
on
nonaccrual loans is either applied against principal or reported as interest
income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of
principal.
Loans
are
usually restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current,
has
performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period
of
time, and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal
and
interest is no longer in doubt.
Cash
basis, restructured and nonaccrual loans totaled $7.8 million at June 30,
2007,
$8.4 million at December 31, 2006 and $9.8 million at June 30, 2006 and consists
mainly of commercial loans and real estate related commercial loans. For
the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, nonaccrual loans resulted in lost interest
income of $396 thousand and $233 thousand, respectively. Loans 90 days or
more
past due totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2007, $760 thousand at December
31, 2006 and $620 thousand at June 30, 2006. Other real estate owned totaled
$333 thousand at June 30, 2007. There was no other real estate owned as of
December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The Corporation's ratio of nonperforming
assets to total loans and other real estate owned was 0.69% at June 30, 2007,
0.68% at December 31, 2006 and 0.79% at June 30, 2006.
At
June
30, 2007, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired
under SFAS No. 114 was $7.8 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual
basis; the related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $2.5 million.
At
December 31, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to
be
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $8.4 million, all of which were on a nonaccrual
basis; the related reserve for loan losses for those loans was $1.6 million.
At
June 30, 2006, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be
impaired under SFAS No. 114 was $9.8 million; the related reserve for loan
losses for those loans was $1.9 million. The amount of the specific reserve
needed for these credits could change in future periods subject to changes
in
facts and judgments related to these credits. Specific reserves have been
established based on current facts and management’s judgments about the ultimate
outcome of these credits. In the first six months of 2007, one commercial
real
estate credit secured by a mortgage totaling $406 thousand and several
commercial business loans totaling $730 thousand were added to impaired
loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, payments of $1.2 million
were received on impaired loans, $298 thousand were charged-off, $350 thousand
was returned to accruing, and $327 thousand was transferred to other real
estate
owned.
Reserve
For Loan and Lease Losses
Management
believes the reserve for loan losses is maintained at a level that is adequate
to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management's methodology
to
determine the adequacy of and the provisions to the reserve considers specific
credit reviews, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions and
trends, and the volume, growth, and composition of the loan and lease
portfolio.
The
reserve for loan and lease losses is determined through a monthly evaluation
of
reserve adequacy. Quarterly, this analysis takes into consideration the growth
of the loan and lease portfolio, the status of past-due credits, current
economic conditions, various types of lending activity, policies, real estate
and other loan commitments, and significant changes in charge-off activity.
Non-accrual loans are evaluated individually. All other loans are evaluated
as
pools. Based on historical loss experience, loss factors are determined giving
consideration to the areas noted in the second paragraph and applied to the
pooled loan categories to develop the general or allocated portion of the
reserve. Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash
flows
using the loans' initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans as provided under SFAS
No.
114. Management also reviews the activity within the reserve to determine
what
actions, if any, should be taken to address differences between estimated
and
actual losses. Any of the above factors may cause the provision to fluctuate.
The
reserve for loan and lease losses is based on management's evaluation of
the
loan and lease portfolio under current economic conditions and such other
factors, which deserve recognition in estimating loan and lease losses. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates including the
amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired
credits that may be susceptible to significant change. Additions to the reserve
arise from the provision for loan and lease losses charged to operations
or from
the recovery of amounts previously charged off. Loan and lease charge-offs
reduce the reserve. Loans and leases are charged off when there has been
permanent impairment or when in the opinion of management the full amount
of the
loan or lease, in the case of non-collateral dependent borrowings, will not
be
realized. Certain impaired loans are reported at the present value of expected
future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, or at
the
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan
is collateral dependent.
The
specific reserve element is based on a regular analysis of impaired commercial
and real estate loans. For these loans, the specific reserve established
is
based on an analysis of related collateral value, cash flow considerations
and,
if applicable, guarantor capacity.
The
class
reserve element is determined by an internal loan and leases grading process
in
conjunction with associated allowance factors. The Corporation revises the
class
reserve factors whenever necessary in order to address improving or
deteriorating credit quality trends or specific risks associated with a given
loan pool classification.
The
Corporation maintains a reserve in other liabilities for off-balance sheet
credit exposures that currently are unfunded.
The
reserve for loan and lease losses increased $510 thousand from December 31,
2006
to June 30, 2007 due to the need to increase the reserve for loan and lease
growth. Management believes that the reserve is maintained at a level that
is
adequate to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The ratio of the
reserve for loan and lease losses to total loans was 1.00% at both June 30,
2007
and 0.98% at December 31, 2006.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
The
Corporation has covenants not to compete, intangible assets due to bank and
branch acquisitions, core deposit intangibles, customer related intangibles
and
mortgage servicing rights, which are not deemed to have an indefinite life
and
therefore will continue to be amortized over their useful life. The Corporation
also has goodwill of $44.4 million, which is deemed to be an indefinite
intangible asset and will not be amortized but is tested for impairment
annually.
Liabilities
Total
liabilities increased since December 31, 2006 primarily due to an increase
in
deposits and other liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings.

Deposits
Total
deposits grew at the Bank primarily due to increases in PLGIT deposits of
$30.0
million and wholesale certificates of deposit of $10.8 million. Growth in
regular and money market savings accounts of $40.5 million were offset by
a
decrease in non-interest-bearing demand accounts of $29.5 million.
Borrowings
Long-term
debt at June 30, 2007, includes $9.0 million in Subordinated Capital Notes,
$20.6 million of Trust Preferred Securities, and $84.5 million in long-term
borrowings from the FHLB. The consolidated balance sheet also includes a
$1.3 million fair market value adjustment relating to FHLB long-term
borrowings acquired in the First County Bank and Suburban Community Bank
acquisitions. In April 2003, the Corporation secured $15.0 million in
subordinated capital notes that qualify for Tier 2 capital status. In August
2003, the Corporation issued $20.0 million of trust preferred securities that
qualify for Tier 1 capital status. Principal payments of $375 thousand are
made quarterly and reduce the Subordinated Capital Notes balance. The
Corporation deconsolidated its Capital Trust in the second quarter of 2004,
as a
result of the adoption of FIN 46. The result was an increase in the junior
debt
of $619 thousand. Short-term borrowings typically include federal funds
purchased and short-term FHLB borrowings. In addition, the Bank offers an
automated cash management checking account that sweeps funds daily into a
repurchase agreement account (“sweep accounts”). Short-term borrowings decreased
due to fluctuations in the sweep accounts of a negative $12.4 million and
decreases in federal funds purchased of $17.9 million.
Other
Liabilities
Other
liabilities increased primarily due to an increase in accrued expenses and an
increase in the liability for payments made to private investors for
participated loans.
Shareholders'
Equity
Total
shareholders’ equity increased since December 31, 2006 primarily due to current

Retained
earnings was favorably impacted by six months of net income of $12.3 million
partially offset by cash dividends of $5.2 million declared during the first
six
months of 2007. Treasury stock increased primarily due to purchases. There
is a
buyback program in place that as of June 30, 2007 allows the Corporation to
purchase an additional 526,571 shares of its outstanding common stock in the
open market or in negotiated transactions.
Accumulated
other comprehensive loss related to debt securities of $2.0 million, net of
taxes, is included in shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2007. Accumulated
other comprehensive loss related to debt securities of $175 thousand, net of
taxes, has been included in shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2006.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to debt securities is
the
unrealized gain (loss), or difference between the book value and market value,
on the available-for-sale investment portfolio, net of taxes. The
period-to-period increase/decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) was a result of improved market values of fixed rate mortgage-backed
and
non-mortgage-backed government agency debt securities. The market value
increased/decreases are attributable to increases, from December 31, 2006 to
June 30, 2007, in the 2-, 3- and 5-year treasury yields, which ranged from
5 basis points to 22 basis points.
Capital
Adequacy
Capital
guidelines which banking regulators have adopted assign minimum capital
requirements for categories of assets depending on their assigned risks. The
components of risk-based capital are Tier 1 and Tier 2. Minimum required total
risk-based capital is 8.0%. The Corporation and the Bank continue to be in
the
"well-capitalized" category under regulatory standards.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Management,
in order to prepare the Corporation's financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, is required to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the Corporation's financial
statements. There are uncertainties inherent in making these estimates and
assumptions. Certain critical accounting policies, discussed below, could
materially affect the results of operations and financial position of the
Corporation should changes in circumstances require a change in related
estimates or assumptions. The Corporation has identified the reserve for loan
losses, intangible assets, investment securities, mortgage servicing rights,
income taxes, benefit plans and stock-based compensation as its critical
accounting policies. For more information on these critical accounting policies,
please refer to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Asset/Liability
Management
The
primary functions of Asset/Liability Management are to assure adequate earnings,
capital and liquidity while maintaining an appropriate balance between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management
involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of customers and corporate
needs. Interest-rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net
interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through
periods of changing rates.
The
Corporation uses both static gap analysis and simulation techniques to quantify
its exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation uses static gap analysis
techniques to identify and monitor long-term rate exposure and uses a simulation
model to measure the short-term rate exposures. The Corporation runs various
earnings simulation scenarios to quantify the effect of declining or rising
interest rates on the net interest margin over a one-year horizon. The
simulation uses existing portfolio rate and repricing information, combined
with
assumptions regarding future loan and deposit growth, future spreads,
prepayments on residential mortgages, and the discretionary pricing of
non-maturity assets and liabilities.
The
Corporation had used an interest-rate swap agreement that converts a portion
of
its floating rate commercial loans to a fixed rate basis. In this swap, the
Corporation agreed to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between
the fixed and floating interest rates calculated on a agreed upon notional
principal amount. Interest-rate swaps in which the Corporation pays a floating
rate and receives a fixed rate are used to reduce the impact of changes in
interest rates on the Corporation's net income. The impact of the interest-rate
swap on interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was a negative
$20 thousand. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the Corporation had no
swaps outstanding.
Liquidity
The
Corporation, in its role as a financial intermediary, is exposed to certain
liquidity risks. Liquidity refers to the Corporation's ability to ensure that
sufficient cash flow and liquid assets are available to satisfy demand for
loans
and deposit withdrawals. The Corporation manages its liquidity risk by measuring
and monitoring its liquidity sources and estimated funding needs. The
Corporation has a contingency funding plan in place to address liquidity needs
in the event of an institution-specific or a systemic financial
crisis.
Sources
of Funds
Core
deposits and cash management repurchase agreements (“Repos”) have historically
been the most significant funding sources for the Corporation. These deposits
and Repos are generated from a base of consumer, business and public customers
primarily located in Bucks and Montgomery counties, Pennsylvania. The
Corporation faces increased competition for these deposits from a large array
of
financial market participants, including banks, thrifts, mutual funds, security
dealers and others.
The
Corporation supplements its core funding with wholesale certificates of deposit.
At June 30, 2007 the bank had $59.6 million in wholesale certificates of
deposits. The Corporation also supplements its core funding with money market
funds it holds for the benefit of various trust accounts. These funds are fully
collateralized by the Bank’s investment portfolio and are at current money
market mutual fund rates. This funding source is subject to changes in the
asset
allocations of the trust accounts.
The
Corporation, through its Bank, has short-term and long-term credit facilities
with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately
$347.5 million. At June 30, 2007, the Corporation's outstanding borrowings
under the FHLB credit facilities totaled $84.5 million. The maximum borrowing
capacity changes as a function of the Bank’s qualifying collateral assets and
the amount of funds received may be reduced by additional required purchases
of
FHLB stock.
The
Corporation maintains federal fund lines with several correspondent banks
totaling $112.0 million. At June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding
borrowings under these lines. Future availability under these lines is subject
to the policies of the granting banks and may be withdrawn.
The
Corporation, through the Bank, has an available line of credit at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the amount of which is dependent upon the balance
of loans and securities pledged as collateral. At June 30, 2007, the Corporation
had no outstanding borrowings under this line.
Cash
Requirements
The
Corporation has cash requirements for various financial obligations, including
contractual obligations and commitments that require cash payments. The
contractual obligations and commitments table that follows presents, as of
June
30, 2007, significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and
commitments to third parties. The most significant contractual obligation,
in
both the under and over one year time period, is for the Bank to repay its
certificates of deposit. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase
constitute the next largest payment obligation which is short term in nature.
The Bank anticipates meeting these obligations by continuing to provide
convenient depository and cash management services through its branch network,
thereby replacing these contractual obligations with similar fund sources at
rates that are competitive in our market.
Commitments
to extend credit are the Bank’s most significant commitment in both the under
and over one year time periods. These commitments do not necessarily represent
future cash requirements in that these commitments often expire without being
drawn upon.
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
The
Corporation enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business
as a source of funds for its asset growth and its asset/liability management,
to
fund acquisitions and to meet required capital needs. These obligations require
the Corporation to make cash payments over time as detailed in the table below.
The
Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in
the normal course of business to manage the Corporation’s exposure to
fluctuation in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit, standby and commercial letters of credit and forward
contracts. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements
of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these financial
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular
classes of financial instruments.
The
Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual
amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies
in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments. Unless noted otherwise, the Corporation does not require and is
not
required to pledge collateral or other security to support financial instruments
with credit risk. These commitments expire over time as detailed in the
following table.
Pennsylvania
Local Government Investment Trust (“PLGIT”) deposits are public funds
collateralized with a letter of credit that PLGIT maintains with the FHLB;
therefore, the Corporation is not required to provide collateral on these
deposits. These standby letters of credit are issued by the FHLB on behalf
of
the Corporation, which is the account party on the letters of credit and
therefore is obligated to reimburse the FHLB for all payments made under the
standby letter of credit. The Corporation’s exposure is represented by the
contractual amount of these instruments.
Forward
contracts represent agreements for delayed delivery of financial instruments
or
commodities in which the buyer agrees to purchase and the seller agrees to
deliver, at a specified future date, a specified instrument or commodity
at a
specified price or yield. Forward contracts are not traded on organized
exchanges and their contractual terms are not standardized. The Corporation’s
forward contracts are commitments to sell loans secured by 1-to-4 family
residential properties whose predominant risk characteristic is interest
rate
risk

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reach a conclusion on
EITF No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit
Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (“EITF 06-4.”)
EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
Under EITF 06-4, if an
agreement is to provide the employee with a death benefit in a
postretirement/termination period, the employer should recognize a liability
for
the future death benefit in accordance with either Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
12. EITF
06-4
requires that recognition of the effects of adoption should be either by
(a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment
to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a
change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior
periods.
The
potential impact to Univest will be negative cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings of approximately $1.6 million and would not be tax
affected.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS
No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and enhances disclosures about
fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 applies when other accounting pronouncement require
fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. SFAS
157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years. The
Corporation does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material
impact on its financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115)” (“SFAS 159.”) SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The
objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by allowing entities
to
minimize volatility in reported earnings caused by related assets and
liabilities being measured differently. Most of the provisions of SFAS 159
apply
only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, SFAS 159 includes
an
amendment to SFAS 115 which applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Entities
electing the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in
earnings and recognize upfront costs and fees related to those items in earnings
as they are incurred, not deferred. The following items are eligible for the
fair value measurement option established by SFAS 159: 1) Recognized financial
assets and financial liabilities, except (a) an investment in a subsidiary
that
is required to be consolidated, (b) an interest in a variable interest entity
that is required to be consolidated, (c) obligations (or assets representing
net
over funded positions) for pension plans, other postretirement benefits, post
employment benefits, employee stock option and stock purchase plans, and other
forms of deferred compensation arrangements, (d) financial assets and
liabilities recognized under leases, (e) demand deposit liabilities of financial
institutions, and (f) financial instruments classified by the issuer as a
component of shareholder’s equity; 2) firm commitments that would otherwise not
be recognized at inception and that involve only financial instruments; 3)
nonfinancial insurance contracts and warranties that the insurer can settle
by
paying a third party to provide those goods or services; and, 4) host financial
instruments resulting from separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative
instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument. The fair value option may
be
applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions, such as
investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method or multiple advanced
made to one borrower under a single contract. The fair value option is
irrevocable unless a new election date occurs and applies only to entire
instruments and not to portions of instruments. Entities are permitted to elect
fair value option for any eligible item within the scope of SFAS 159 at the
date they initially adopt the SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference
between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and
liabilities for which an entity elects fair value option is reported as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon
adoption. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s second fiscal
year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of
the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007,
provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The
Corporation chose not to adopt SFAS 159 early. The Corporation does not
anticipate the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
