PEOPLES BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Note 1  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”).
 
The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Form 10-Q.  Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2011, for potential recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010, contained herein has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K.
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.  Peoples’ insurance income includes contingent performance based insurance commissions that are recognized by Peoples when received, which typically occurs during the first quarter of each year.
 
Note 2  Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government and agency securities actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; also includes derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with observable market inputs or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.  This category generally includes certain U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, derivative instruments, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation; also includes observable inputs for single dealer nonbinding quotes not corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained interests from securitizations, and certain collateralized debt obligations.

The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1 inputs) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2).  The fair values of the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs at December 31, 2010 represented the purchase price of the securities since they were acquired near year-end 2010. At June 30, 2011, these securities were classified as Level 2 as a pricing model was used to value the securities, which was consistent with the rest of the classification for the sector.
 
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).  Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis included the following:

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are measured and reported at fair value when management believes collection of contractual interest and principal payments is doubtful.  Management’s determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the collateral based on observable market prices and market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 inputs).  At June 30, 2011, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $20.6 million were measured and reported at a fair value of $13.4 million.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, Peoples recognized losses on impaired loans of $3.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively, through the allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned ("OREO") is measured and reported at fair value when the current book value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. Management's determination of the fair value for these loans uses a market approach representing the estimated net proceeds to be received from the sale of the property based on observable market prices and market value provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers (Level 2 Inputs). At June 30, 2011, Peoples had $3.5 million of OREO which was measured and reported at a fair value of $2.2 million. As a result, Peoples recorded losses of $1.3 million through earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
The following table presents the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried on Peoples’ consolidated balance sheet, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis:

The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, demand and other non-maturity deposits and overnight borrowings.  Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:
 
Loans: The fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the notes to a third-party financial investor.  Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity.  Peoples considered interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans.  In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a much higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity given the lack of market liquidity.  This divergence accounts for the majority of the difference in carrying amount over fair value.
 
Deposits: The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms.
 
Junior Subordinated Notes Held by Subsidiary Trust: The fair value of the junior subordinated notes held by subsidiary trust is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates of securities with similar risk and remaining maturity.
 
Bank premises and equipment, customer relationships, deposit base, banking center networks, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value are not included in the above information.  Accordingly, the above fair values are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Peoples’ investment in equity securities was comprised entirely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
At June 30, 2011, there were no securities of a single issuer, other than U.S. Treasury and government agencies and U.S. government sponsored agencies that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.  Peoples had pledged investment securities with a carrying value of $370.7 million and $394.7 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to secure public and trust department deposits and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements.  Peoples also pledged investment securities with carrying values of $48.1 million and $28.1 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to secure additional borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland (“FRB”).

The gross gains and gross losses realized by Peoples from sales of available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:

Management systematically evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2011, management concluded no individual securities were other-than-temporarily impaired since Peoples did not have the intent to sell nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased. 
At June 30, 2011, the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities that have been at an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months consisted almost entirely of securities issued by U.S government sponsored agencies. Additionally, approximately 93% of the mortgage-backed securities that have been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S government sponsored agencies. Of the remaining mortgage-backed securities, all of the underlying mortgages were originated prior to 2004. Furthermore, five of the eight bank-issued trust preferred securities were within 98% of book value, while the unrealized losses for the remaining three were primarily attributable to the floating nature of these investments and the current interest rate environment.
Of the positions with a fair value less than 90% of their book value, five of the ten securities were mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S government sponsored agencies. The remaining securities were limited to three variable rate bank-issued trust preferred securities, which had an aggregate book value of $3.0 million and fair value of $2.5 million at June 30, 2011, and two variable rate residential mortgage-backed securities with book and market values of $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Management has analyzed the underlying credit quality of these securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and current market interest rates.

Held-to-Maturity
At June 30, 2011, Peoples’ held-to-maturity investments consisted of two qualified school construction bonds that are classified as held-to-maturity because of Peoples’ intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity given uncertainty regarding ownership rights of associated tax credits.  These securities are carried at an aggregate amortized cost of $3.0 million and have gross unrealized losses totaling $10,744; weighted average cash coupon and tax credit rates of 1.83% and 6.09%, respectively, and remaining contractual maturity over 10 years.
 
Other Securities
Peoples’ other investment securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist solely of restricted equity securities of the FHLB and the FRB.  These securities are carried at cost since they do not have readily determinable fair values due to their restricted nature and Peoples does not exercise significant influence over the entities.

Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by 1-4 family and multifamily residential mortgages under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. The amount of such pledged loans totaled $185.6 million and $181.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Peoples also had pledged commercial loans to secure borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The outstanding balances of these loans totaled $138.1 million and $195.6 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due. The recorded investments in loans on nonaccrual status and accruing loans delinquent for 90 days or more were as follows:

At December 31, 2010, nonaccrual commercial real estate loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $951,000 were classified as held-for-sale and thus excluded for the table above. During the second quarter of 2011, one loan with a carrying value of $379,000 was sold for a gain of $371,000, while the remaining loans were transferred to OREO.

Credit Quality Indicators
As discussed in Note 1 of Peoples' 2010 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples is as follows:
“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the debt if required, for any weakness that may exist.
“Watch” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” classification. Loans in this category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and /or reliance on the secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in Peoples' credit position.
“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardizes the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimate loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

13

Table of Contents

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken in the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.
Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. All other loans not evaluated individually nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as describe above would be considered as being “not rated”.
The following table summarizes the risk category of Peoples' loan portfolio based upon the most recent analysis performed:

Under its Amended Articles of Incorporation, Peoples is authorized to issue up to 50,000 preferred shares, in one or more series, having such voting powers, designations, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as determined by the Board of Directors.  In 2009, Peoples’ Board of Directors created a series of preferred shares designated as Peoples’ Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and fixed 39,000 shares as the authorized number of such shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”).  These Series A Preferred Shares subsequently were sold to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”), along with a ten-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 313,505 Peoples common shares at an exercise price of $18.66 per share (subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments), for an aggregate purchase price of $39 million in cash in connection with Peoples’ participation in the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program. 
The Series A Preferred Shares accrue cumulative quarterly dividends at a rate of 5% per annum from January 30, 2009 to, but excluding February 15, 2014, and 9% per annum thereafter.  These dividends will be paid only if, as and when declared by Peoples’ Board of Directors.  The Series A Preferred Shares have no maturity date and rank senior to the common shares with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of Peoples.  Peoples has the option to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares at 100% of their liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency.  The Series A Preferred Shares are generally non-voting. 
The U.S. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any common shares issued to it upon exercise of the Warrant.  Any common shares issued by Peoples upon exercise of the Warrant will be issued from common shares held in treasury to the extent available.  If no treasury shares are available, common shares will be issued from authorized but unissued common shares. 
The Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Shares and the Warrant were sold, contains limitations on the payment of dividends on the common shares after January 30, 2009.  Prior to the earlier of (i) January 30, 2012 and (ii) the date on which the Series A Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole or the U.S. Treasury has transferred the Series A Preferred Shares to third parties which are not Affiliates (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the U.S. Treasury, any increase in common share dividends by Peoples or any of its subsidiaries would be prohibited without the prior approval of the U.S. Treasury. 
If the Series A Preferred Shares were repurchased in full, Peoples has the right to repurchase the Warrant at its appraised value.  Otherwise, the U.S. Treasury must liquidate the related Warrant at the current market price.
On February 2, 2011, Peoples completed the repurchase of 21,000 of the Series A Preferred Shares held by the U.S. Treasury, for an aggregate purchase price of $21,224,583, which included a pro rata accrued dividend of approximately $224,583. In connection with this repurchase, Peoples recognized the pro rata unamortized discount originally recorded at the time of issuance, which totaled $186,000.

Table of Contents

In the second quarter of 2011, Peoples' Board of Directors adopted a new schedule for considering the declaration of dividends payable to common shareholders. Beginning with the second quarter 2011 dividend, Peoples' Board of Directors will determine whether to declare future dividends payable to common shareholders, if financial conditions warrant, during the first month of the following calendar quarter. In recent quarters, the Board of Directors declared dividends in the final month of each calendar quarter. As a result of this change, no dividends on common shares were declared during the second quarter of 2011, which had a positive impact on Peoples' common equity and corresponding capital ratios at June 30, 2011. On July 28, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share with respect to second quarter 2011 results at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. This dividend is payable on August 22, 2011, to shareholders of record on August 8, 2011.

Note 7  Employee Benefit Plans 

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010.  The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.   For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation pay over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee.  For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation plus accrued interest.  Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants.  On November 18, 2010, Peoples' Board of Directors authorized a freeze of the accrual of pension plans benefits, which was effective March 1, 2011. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Peoples also has a contributory post-retirement benefit plan for former employees who were retired as of December 31, 1992.  The plan provides health and life insurance benefits.  Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they are incurred.

Note 8  Stock-Based Compensation 

Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “2006 Equity Plan”), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights or any combination thereof covering up to 500,000 common shares to employees and non-employee directors.  Prior to 2007, Peoples granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors under the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor plans.  Since February 2007, Peoples has granted a combination of restricted common shares and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to be settled in common shares to employees and restricted common shares to non-employee directors subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan.
 
In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available.  If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.
 
Stock Options
Under the provisions of the 2006 Equity Plan and predecessor stock option plans, the exercise price per share of any stock option granted may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant of the stock option.    All stock options granted to both employees and non-employee directors expire ten years from the date of grant. The most recent stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors occurred in 2006.

Restricted Shares
 Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  In general, the restrictions on common shares awarded to non-employee directors expire after six months, while the restrictions on common shares awarded to employees expire after three years. In the first quarter of 2011, Peoples granted restricted shares to officers and key employees with both with a two-year time-based vesting period and a two-year performance-based vesting period. For the shares subject to performance-based vesting, the restrictions on these shares will vest after two year upon the achievement of a cumulative diluted earnings per common share of $3.10 for the three-year period ending December 31, 2012.

Note 9  Earnings Per Common Share 

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares.  Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, SARs and non-vested restricted common shares using the treasury stock method.  As disclosed in Note 5, Peoples had a Warrant to purchase 313,505 common shares outstanding at June 30, 2011.  This Warrant was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share since it was anti-dilutive.  In addition, stock options and SARs covering 248,093 and 269,185 common shares were excluded from the calculations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, since they were anti-dilutive.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Form 10-Q which are not historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Words such as “anticipate”, “estimates”, “may”, “feels”, “expects”, “believes”, “plans”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could” and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertain­ties that may cause actual results to differ materially.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to:
(1)
deterioration in the credit quality of Peoples’ loan portfolio could occur due to a number of factors, such as adverse changes in economic conditions that impair the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, the underlying value of the collateral could prove less valuable than otherwise assumed and assumed cash flows may be worse than expected, which may adversely impact the provision for loan losses;
(2)
competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions, which may increase significantly, impacting product and pricing pressures and Peoples' ability to attract, develop and retain qualified professionals;
(3)
changes in the interest rate environment, which may adversely impact interest margins;
(4)
changes in prepayment speeds, loan originations, sale volumes and charge-offs, which may be less favorable than expected and adversely impact the amount of interest income generated;
(5)
economic conditions, either nationally or in the areas where Peoples and its subsidiaries do business, may be less favorable than expected, which could decrease the demand for loans, deposits and other financial services and increase loan delinquencies and defaults;
(6)
political developments, wars or other hostilities, which may disrupt or increase volatility in securities markets or other economic conditions;
(7)
legislative or regulatory changes or actions, including in particular the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the regulations to be promulgated thereunder, which may adversely affect the business of Peoples and its subsidiaries;
(8)
changes in accounting standards, policies, estimates or procedures may adversely affect Peoples’ reported financial condition or results of operations;
(9)
adverse changes in the conditions and trends in the financial markets, which may adversely affect the fair value of securities within Peoples’ investment portfolio and interest rate sensitivity of Peoples' Consolidated Balance Sheets;
(10)
Peoples’ ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries;
(11)
Peoples’ ability to maintain required capital levels and adequate sources of funding and liquidity;
(12)
the impact of larger or similar financial institutions encountering problems, which may adversely affect the banking industry and/or Peoples;
(13)
the impact of reputational risk created by these developments on such matters as business generation and retention, funding and liquidity;
(14)
the costs and effects of regulatory and legal developments, including the outcome of regulatory or other governmental inquiries and legal proceedings and results of regulatory examinations; and
(15)
other risk factors relating to the banking industry or Peoples as detailed from time to time in Peoples’ reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including those risk factors included in the disclosure under the headings “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the execution date of this Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements.  Although management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management’s knowledge of Peoples’ business and operations, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from these projections.  Additionally, Peoples undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as may be required by applicable legal requirements.  Copies of documents filed with the SEC are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and/or from Peoples Bancorp Inc.’s website – www.peoplesbancorp.com under the “Investor Relations” section.
 
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, contained in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K, as well as the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, ratios, statistics and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Business Overview
The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.

Peoples offers diversified financial products and services through 48 financial service locations and 42 ATMs in southeastern Ohio, northwestern West Virginia and northeastern Kentucky through its financial service units – Peoples Bank, National Association (“Peoples Bank”), Peoples Financial Advisors (a division of Peoples Bank) and Peoples Insurance Agency, LLC, a subsidiary of Peoples Bank.  Peoples Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
 
Peoples’ products and services include traditional banking products, such as deposit accounts, lending products and trust services.  Peoples also offers a complete array of insurance products and makes available custom-tailored fiduciary and wealth management services.  Peoples provides services through traditional offices, ATMs and telephone and internet-based banking.  Brokerage services are offered exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer located at Peoples’ offices.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP and to general practices within the financial services industry.  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.  Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Peoples’ Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis at June 30, 2011, which were unchanged from the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As more fully discussed in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually and updated quarterly if management believes there are indicators of potential impairment.  Peoples performs its required annual impairment test as of June 30 each year. 
At June 30, 2011, management performed its annual impairment test of Peoples’ recorded goodwill. The methodology and significant assumptions made by management were consistent with those disclosed in Peoples’ 2010 Form 10-K.  Based on its analysis at June 30, 2011, management concluded the fair value of Peoples’ single reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. However, the excess fair value was not significant enough to provide management with a reasonable basis on which to conclude no goodwill impairment existed without further evaluation. Consequently, management performed additional analyses to estimate the fair value of goodwill and concluded the estimated fair value of goodwill exceeded the carrying value of goodwill and therefore, no impairment was recorded.
Management’s analysis indicated that a decline in the fair value of Peoples’ single reporting unit of 24% or more would result in goodwill impairment. The analysis also indicated any of the following situations would cause a decline in the fair value of Peoples’ reporting unit resulting in goodwill impairment: (1) a 25% sustained decline in future cash flows or (2) a 250 basis point increase in the discount rate.
 
Summary of Recent Transactions and Events
The following is a summary of recent transactions or events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition: 
As described in Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, no dividends were declared on common shares during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of Peoples' Board of Directors adopting a new schedule for declaring such dividends. The lack of dividends declared on common shares due to this change had a positive impact on Peoples' common equity and corresponding capital ratios at June 30, 2011. On July 28, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share with respect to second quarter 2011 results at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. This dividend is payable on August 22, 2011, to shareholders of record on August 8, 2011.
As described in Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 30, 2009, Peoples received $39.0 million of new equity capital under the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program. The investment was in the form of newly-issued non-voting cumulative perpetual preferred shares and a related 10-year warrant to purchase common shares sold by Peoples to the U.S. Treasury (the “TARP Capital Investment”). On February 2, 2011, Peoples completed a partial redemption of the TARP Capital Investment by repurchasing $21.0 million of the

23

Table of Contents

preferred shares held by the U.S. Treasury (the "Partial TARP Capital Redemption"). In connection with the Partial TARP Capital Redemption, Peoples recognized the portion of the unamortized discount associated with the preferred shares repurchased, which was $186,000 and reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.02. Future quarterly preferred dividends are expected to approximate $240,000 compared to $513,000 in prior quarters.
Since 2008, Peoples periodically has taken actions to reduce interest rate exposures within the investment portfolio and entire balance sheet, which have included the sale of low yielding investment securities and repayment of high-cost borrowings. These actions included the sale of $86.6 million of investment securities, primarily low yielding U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government-backed student loan pools, during the third quarter of 2010. The proceeds from these investment sales were used to prepay $60.0 million of wholesale repurchase agreements thereby deleveraging the balance sheet. The repurchase agreements had a weighted-average cost of 4.53% and originally were scheduled to mature over the next two years.
In the first quarter of 2010, Peoples recognized a non-cash pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) loss of $1.0 million  on its then remaining investment in collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securities.  These securities were equity tranche CDO securities comprised mostly of bank-issued trust preferred securities.  The OTTI loss reflected management’s estimation of credit losses incurred during the first quarter of 2010 based upon actual defaults, its evaluation of the credit quality of the issuers and corresponding analysis of cash flows to be received from the securities.  After recognition of the first quarter 2010 OTTI loss, Peoples no longer has any exposure to CDO securities within its investment portfolio.
Since early 2008, Peoples’ loan quality has been negatively impacted by adverse conditions within the commercial real estate market and economy as a whole, which has caused declines in commercial real estate values and deterioration in the financial condition of various commercial borrowers. These conditions led to Peoples to downgrade the loan quality ratings of various commercial real estate loans through its normal loan review process. In addition, several impaired loans have become under-collateralized due to reductions in the estimated net realizable fair value of the underlying collateral. As a result, Peoples’ provision for loan losses, net charge-offs and nonperforming loans have been significantly higher than long-term historical levels.  Peoples has also recognized losses on other real estate owned (“OREO”) in recent quarters due to declining commercial real estate values.
In 2009, the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) took steps to restore the Deposit Insurance Fund, which affected all FDIC-insured depository institutions. These actions included increasing base assessment rates, imposing a one-time special assessment and requiring the prepayment of assessments for fourth quarter 2009 and full years 2010 through 2012. As a result, Peoples has incurred higher FDIC insurance costs compared to historical amounts. On April 1, 2011, new regulations required by the Dodd-Frank Act became effective changing the deposit insurance assessment base from total domestic deposits to average total assets minus average tangible equity, as well as changing the assessment system for large institutions and the assessment rate schedule. The new assessment base reduced Peoples' FDIC insurance costs beginning with the amount recorded for the second quarter of 2011.
Peoples' net interest income and margin are impacted by changes in market interest rates based upon actions taken by the Federal Reserve either directly or through its Open Market Committee. Between August 2007 and December 2008, the Federal Reserve reduced the target Federal Funds rate 500 basis points to a range of 0% to 0.25% and reduced the Discount Rate 575 basis points to 0.50%. These actions caused a corresponding downward shift in short-term market interest rates. In 2009, the Federal Reserve maintained the target Federal Funds Rate and Discount Rate at their historically low levels of 0% to 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively. In February 2010, the Federal Reserve increased the Discount Rate by 25 basis points to 0.75% while leaving its target Federal Funds Rate range unchanged, thereby widening the spread between the Discount Rate and the high end of the target Federal Funds Rate. No changes to either the Federal Funds Rate or Discount Rate have occurred during the remainder of 2010 or the first half of 2011.
In late 2008, the Federal Reserve initiated a plan to buy mortgage-backed and other debt securities through its open market operations as a means of lowering longer-term market interest rates and stimulating the economy – a policy commonly referred to as “quantitative easing”. The resulting purchases caused a flattening of the yield curve in the first half of 2009. The yield curve steepened moderately in the second half of 2009 after the Federal Reserve halted its investment purchases. In mid-2010, the Federal Reserve signaled the possibility of additional quantitative easing, which resulted in a flatter yield curve during much of the second half of 2010. In late 2010, the yield curve steepened after the Federal Reserve announced its plan to purchase U.S. Treasury securities with shorter maturities than anticipated by many market participants.
  
  The impact of these transactions, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the second quarter of 2011, net income available to common shareholders was $2.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted common share, versus $2.8 million and $0.27 per diluted common share a year ago and $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2011 (or "linked quarter"). The linked quarter earnings improvement was driven by a reduction in loan-related credit losses. Second quarter 2010 earnings included net security gains of $2.2 million or $0.14 per share after-tax. On a year-to-date basis, earnings per diluted common share improved 12% to $0.38 compared to the $0.34 earned in the first half of 2010.
Provision for loan losses totaled $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, versus $5.3 million for the linked quarter and $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2010. Provision for loan losses totaled $7.6 million for the first six months of 2011, versus $12.0 million for the first six months of 2010. The recorded provision reflects the amount needed to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on management's formal quarterly analysis.
Second quarter 2011 net interest income and margin were comparable with the linked quarter as lower deposit costs from the repricing of a large government deposit relationship offset the impact of the sustained low interest rate environment on asset yields. Year-over-year, net interest income decreased 11% and net interest margin compressed six basis points in the second quarter of 2011, attributable to the combination of declining loan balances and lower reinvestment rates with limited opportunities for offsetting reductions in funding costs. These factors also accounted for the 12% reduction in net interest income and eight basis points compression of net interest margin on a year-to-date basis.
Non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on securities and asset disposals, increased 2% in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the prior year. This increase was driven by stronger revenues from fiduciary, brokerage and electronic banking activities. Compared to the linked quarter, non-interest income decreased 6% as a result of Peoples' recognizing $943,000 of annual performance-based insurance revenues in the first quarter. Through six months of 2011, total non-interest income was up 3% over the same period last year, due mostly to higher debit card revenue and mortgage banking income.
Total non-interest expense, while comparable to the linked quarter, was 3% higher than the prior year second quarter and up 2% on a year-to-date basis. Increased employee benefit costs and professional fees were mostly offset by reduced FDIC insurance costs and lower foreclosed real estate and other loan costs.
Total assets were down 2% compared to year-end 2010 to $1.80 billion at June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $37.0 million, which was partially offset by a $29.6 million increase in investment securities. These changes were due primarily to the Partial TARP Redemption and reinvestment of short-term investments into longer-term investments. Total portfolio loan balances declined $20.6 million to $940.1 million at June 30, 2011. These declines were primarily the result of commercial loan payoffs and charge-offs exceeding production. Despite weak economic conditions, Peoples experienced strong growth in consumer loans during the second quarter of 2011 as a result of increased auto lending efforts due to targeted promotional efforts.
Total liabilities decreased $23.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, to $1.58 billion. Total retail deposit balances were essentially unchanged during the second quarter of 2011, as declines in interest-bearing retail deposits were nearly matched by increases in non-interest-bearing deposits. The lower interest-bearing deposit balances were a result of management maintaining its focus on reducing higher-cost, non-core deposits. Total borrowed funds were $213.5 million at June 30, 2011, down $18.2 million since December 31, 2010, as Peoples continued to repay maturing wholesale borrowings.
Total stockholders' equity was $218.5 million at June 30, 2011, a $12.2 million reduction from $230.7 million at December 31, 2010, reflecting the impact of the Partial TARP Capital Redemption. Regulatory capital ratios remained significantly higher than "well capitalized" minimums. Peoples' Tier 1 Common Capital ratio increased to 12.05% at June 30, 2011, while the Total Capital ratio was 16.97% versus 18.24% at December 31, 2010, with the decrease the result of the Partial TARP Capital Redemption.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples’ largest source of revenue.  The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve Board’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for both loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples’ earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Table of Contents

(1)
Average balances are based on carrying value.
(2)
Interest income and yields are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 35% federal statutory tax rate.
(3)
Nonaccrual and impaired loans are included in the average loan balances.  Related interest income earned on nonaccrual loans prior to the loans being placed on nonaccrual is included in loan interest income.  Loan fees included in interest income were immaterial for all periods presented.
(4)
Loans held for sale are included in the average loan balance listed.  Related interest income on loans originated for sale prior to the loan being sold is included in loan interest income.

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a 35% federal statutory tax rate.  The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

Table of Contents

(1)
The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the dollar amounts of the change in each.
(2)
Presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis.
 
Second quarter 2011 net interest income was consistent with the linked quarter, as lower deposit costs offset the impact of the low interest rate environment on asset yields. The reduction in deposit costs occurred primarily as the result of the repricing of large governmental deposit relationship early in the second quarter. Compared to the prior year, net interest income was down 11% and 12% for the second quarter and first half of 2011, respectively, while net interest margin compressed six and eight basis points, respectively. The main driver of these reductions was the sustained low interest rate environment, coupled with a decline in average loan balances experienced as a result of significant payoffs and charge-offs in prior quarters. Peoples' deposit pricing strategy over the past several quarters has caused a moderate decrease in money market balances and high-cost retail certificates of deposit.
During the second half of 2011, Peoples' balance sheet strategies will focus on growing loans profitably, remaining disciplined with loan and deposit pricing and maintaining good liquidity. Opportunities to reduce funding costs will be limited, as minimal high-cost funding is scheduled to mature. As a result, management believes there will be downward pressure on net interest income and margin unless the Federal Reserve takes steps to raise short-term interest rates or loan demand strengthens.
Detailed information regarding changes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets can be found under appropriate captions of the “FINANCIAL CONDITION” section of this discussion. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate risk and the potential impact of interest rate changes on Peoples' results of operations and financial condition can be found later in this discussion under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity”.

The provision for loan losses reflects amounts needed to maintain the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on management’s formal quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and procedural methodology that estimates the amount of probable credit losses.  This process considers various factors that affect losses, such as changes in Peoples’ loan quality, historical loss experience and current economic conditions.
Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for loan losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this discussion under the caption “Allowance for Loan Losses”.

OREO losses for the second quarter of both 2011 and 2010 were the result of write-downs on commercial properties whose fair value had declined during the quarter. The losses in the second quarter of 2011 were partially offset by $248,000 in gains from sales of other properties. Also in the second quarter of 2011, Peoples sold two commercial real estate loans, with an aggregate carrying value of $1.0 million and secured by property located outside Peoples' primary market area, at modest gains.

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity.  Peoples typically experiences a lower volume of overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees annually in the first quarter attributable to customers receiving income tax refunds, while volumes generally increase in the fourth quarter in connection with the holiday shopping season. New regulations governing overdraft fees limiting the ability of banks to impose overdraft fees on certain transactions became effective during the third quarter of 2010. While these regulations have had some impact on Peoples' revenues, the year-over-year decline in overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees was mostly attributable to reduced volumes driven by changes in customer behavior. Second quarter 2011 account maintenance fees reflected a full quarter's impact of Peoples' new consumer checking account product offering and pricing structure. 
Insurance income continued to comprise a significant portion of Peoples' non-interest income.  The following table details Peoples’ insurance income:

Peoples continues to be successful at retaining insurance customers. However, growth in property and casualty insurance commission levels has been restrained by the effects of a contracting economy on commercial insurance needs. The performance-based commissions typically are recorded annually in the first quarter and are based on a combination of factors, such as loss experience of insurance policies sold, production volumes, and overall financial performance of the individual insurance carriers.

Peoples' fiduciary and brokerage revenues are primarily driven by the value of assets under management. Second quarter 2011 fiduciary revenues included annual tax compliance fees, which accounted for most of the linked quarter growth. On a year-to-date basis, fiduciary revenues were lower than the prior year as a result of the non-recurrence of estate management fees, which totaled $256,000 in 2010. The changes in asset values primarily reflect the fluctuations experienced in the financial markets as a whole.
Second quarter 2011 mortgage banking income, while comparable with the prior year, was down 24% from the linked quarter driven mostly by significant refinancing activity in the first quarter of 2011 based on long-term mortgage interest rates offered by the secondary market. In the second quarter of 2011, Peoples sold approximately $10 million of loans to the secondary market compared to $16 million in the linked quarter and $10 million for the second quarter of 2010.
 
Non-Interest Expense
Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples’ largest non-interest expense, accounting for approximately half of total non-interest expense.  The following table details Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs:

Base salaries and wages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, were higher than the same periods in 2010, due to annual base salary adjustments plus a modest increase in full-time equivalent employees. In the second quarter of 2011, sales-based and incentive compensation was impacted by increased expense accruals associated with corporate incentive plans, which are based in part on Peoples' performance. The higher employee benefit costs for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the linked quarter was due entirely to increased employee medical benefit plan expenses. Year-over-year, employee benefit costs reflect the impact of freezing pension benefits, which became effective on March 1, 2011. The result was Peoples recording a net pension benefit in the first half of 2011 versus net pension costs last year. The lower pension costs were partially offset by higher 401(k) plan costs resulting from Peoples restoring the company match to 2009 levels. The freeze of pension benefits significantly reduced the threshold for recognizing settlement charges corresponding with lump sum distributions to participants in 2011 and subsequent years. Given the levels of lump sum distributions during the first half of 2011, management believes it is possible Peoples will incur settlement charges in the second half of 2011, which could offset the benefit currently being recognized by Peoples.
Peoples’ net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:

Depreciation expense was held relatively flat during the first half of 2011 due in large part to management limiting capital expenditures during 2010 in connection with various cost saving initiatives. The variances in repairs and maintenance costs were driven primarily by seasonal variances in maintenance costs, such as snow removal costs.

31

Table of Contents

In the second quarter of 2011, professional fees were up significantly compared to both the linked and prior year quarters. The key driver of these variances was the timing of external legal services for problem loan workouts and external consulting services for various strategic initiatives. Contributing to the higher professional fees in 2011 has been the costs related to the benefits associated with Peoples' new Power checking product, which was introduced at the start of the year.
Foreclosed real estate and other loan expenses, which include costs associated with maintaining foreclosed assets, were lower during the first six months of 2011 compared to the prior year, due mostly to costs associated with commercial properties acquired through foreclosure in the fourth quarter of 2009. These costs are anticipated to remain comparable with the amount incurred for the second quarter of 2011 during the remainder of 2011. However, actual costs for future quarters will continue to be dependent upon the level and nature of Peoples' problem assets.
Over the next several quarters, management intends to implement several strategic initiatives designed to increase lending activity, enhance revenue generation and position Peoples for long-term growth. Peoples also will take steps to enhance its sales and sale management discipline across all lines of business. These actions could cause an increase to various non-interest expense categories, such as higher personnel costs from adding associates in key positions, additional depreciation expense or increased marketing expenses. However, management will work to enhance operating efficiency by capitalizing on cost savings opportunities, such as the planned closure of two banking offices during the third quarter of 2011.
Peoples also continues to explore market expansion opportunities in or near its current market areas. Management's primary focus will be on increasing market share in existing markets, while taking advantage of potential growth opportunities within its insurance and wealth management areas. These growth efforts may include the consolidation of existing offices or opening new offices in under-served areas. Management also believes mergers and acquisitions remain a viable means of expanding Peoples' core financial service businesses of banking, insurance and wealth management. Consequently, management could explore the acquisition of companies engaged in these activities, emphasizing opportunities to complement Peoples' core competencies and strategic intent, with a lesser emphasis being placed on geographic location, size or nature of business.

Income Tax Expense
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $1,378,000, for an effective tax rate of 22.3%. This effective tax rate represents management's current estimate of the rate for the entire year. In comparison, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $874,000 for the same period in 2010, which included the entire $625,000 tax benefit associated with the investment impairment losses recognized in both the first and second quarters of 2010.     


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2011, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks included excess cash reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank of $4.6 million compared to $44.6 million at December 31, 2010. This decline occurred as a result of Peoples using these funds in the Partial TARP Redemption. The remaining decline occurred as the funds were redeployed into the investment portfolio.
Through six months of 2011, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents decreased $37.0 million, due mostly to cash used in financing activities for the Partial TARP Redemption and $18.3 million reduction in borrowed funds. Investing activities used net cash of $15.6 million, primarily purchases of securities in the investment portfolio, which was more than offset by cash from operating activities of $23.3 million.
In comparison, Peoples’ operating and investing activities in the first half of 2010 provided net cash of $23.4 million and $35.2 million, respectively, of which $33.0 million was used in financing activities, producing a $25.6 million increase in total cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by investing activities consisted of funds generated by normal principal payments and payoffs on loans exceeding new originations, plus proceeds from securities sales and principal runoff. During the first half of 2010, Peoples reduced borrowed funds, which accounted for virtually all of the net cash used by financing activities.
Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

The size and composition of Peoples' investment portfolio has changed significantly since June 30, 2010, primarily reflecting the deleveraging undertaken in the third quarter of 2010. While the majority of the proceeds from the third quarter 2010 investment sales were used to prepay long-term borrowings, a portion was reinvested into bonds issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, which accounted for the increase in this segment during the third quarter of 2010. The lower investment in obligations of states and political subdivisions reflects the strategic sale of selected securities during the first quarter of 2011 and fourth quarter of 2010. Further changes in the size and composition of the investment portfolio may occur in future quarters, as management may reinvest principal runoff from mortgage-backed securities into other security types.
Peoples' investment in residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities largely consists of securities either guaranteed by the U.S. government or issued by U.S. government-sponsored agencies, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The remaining portion of Peoples' mortgage-backed securities consists of securities issued by other entities, including other financial institutions, which are not guaranteed by the U.S. government. The amount of these “non-agency” securities included in the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities totals above were as follows:

The non-agency portfolio consists entirely of first lien residential and commercial mortgages. Nearly all of the underlying loans in these securities were originated in 2003 or earlier and have fixed interest rates. Over the last several quarters, management has reinvested the principal runoff from the non-agency securities into U.S agency investments, which accounted for the decline experienced in recent quarters.

During the first half of 2011, new commercial loan production remained steady, driven in part by the addition of several new lenders in recent months. However, total loan balances declined during each of the first two quarters, due in large part to sizable paydowns. The utilization of lines of credit by commercial borrowers remains lower than historical levels, which contributed to the decreased loan balances. During the first quarter of 2011, total loan balances were negatively impacted by charge-offs remaining elevated, plus the payoff of a single $10 million commercial and industrial loan. Consumer loan balances grew at a 20% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2011, primarily as the result of targeted promotions.
One of Peoples' strategic goals for the remainder of 2011, and future years, will be quality loan growth. Given current concentrations in commercial real estate loans, the primary emphasis of future lending activity will be on other commercial lending opportunities, including small business lending and new niches, such as health care and oil and gas lending. Peoples also plans to make investments over the next several quarters to increase lending activity by expanding its consumer lending activities, restructuring its commercial lending function and opening loan production offices. Management intends to balance loan growth with prudent risk management and sound underwriting standards.

Table of Contents

Loan Concentration
Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.
 
Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continue to comprise approximately half of Peoples' loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The amount of the allowance for loan losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its formal quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses incurred within the loan portfolio. The following details management's allocation of the allowance for loan losses:

The significant allocations to commercial loans reflect the higher credit risk associated with this type of lending and the size of this loan category in relationship to the entire loan portfolio. The increased allowance for commercial and industrial loans in the second quarter of 2011 primarily reflected changes to the qualitative factors used in determining the appropriate level of allowance given the recent credit quality trends. At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was higher than the linked quarter, reflecting the impact of specific reserves for loans that became impaired and placed on nonaccrual status during the second quarter. The allowance allocated to the residential real estate and consumer loan categories is based upon Peoples' allowance methodology for homogeneous pools of loans. The fluctuations in these allocations have been directionally consistent with the changes in loan quality, loss experience and changes in loan balances in each category.

The majority of the second quarter 2011 charge-offs was attributable to write-downs on commercial real estate loans, which became impaired and placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter. Peoples also experienced substantial recoveries from the final disposition of several impaired loans, which included the sale of underlying collateral.

In the second quarter of 2011, nonperforming assets were down 5% over the linked quarter, due mostly to write-downs on commercial OREO attributable to declining real estate values. Peoples also experienced an 8% decline in substandard-rated loans to $76.1 million at quarter-end from a combination of paydowns and charge-offs. This decline was limited by two commercial relationships with aggregate balances of $1.0 million being downgraded and placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter in response to updated financial information regarding the borrowers. The level of watch-rated loans remained virtually unchanged during the second quarter as the impact of downgrading two large commercial real estate loans was matched by payoffs and upgrades.
Peoples' nonaccrual commercial real estate loans primarily consist of non-owner occupied commercial properties and real estate development projects. In general, management believes repayment of these loans is dependent on the sale of the underlying collateral. As such, the carrying values of these loans are ultimately supported by management's estimate of the net proceeds Peoples would receive upon the sale of the collateral. These estimates are based in part on market values provided by independent, licensed or certified appraisers periodically, but no less frequently than annually. Given the sustained weakness in commercial real estate values, management continues to monitor changes in real estate values from quarter-to-quarter and updates its estimates as needed based on observable changes in market prices and/or updated appraisals for similar properties.
Overall, management believes the allowance for loan losses was adequate at June 30, 2011, based on all significant information currently available.  Still, there can be no assurance the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover future losses or that the amount of nonperforming loans will remain at current levels, especially considering the current economic uncertainty that exists and the concentration of commercial loans in Peoples’ loan portfolio.

In the second quarter of 2011, management maintained its focus on changing Peoples' deposit mix away from higher-cost, non-core deposits as a means of reducing overall funding costs. This strategy has included more selective pricing of out-of-market certificates of deposit (“CDs”), governmental/public fund deposits and similar non-core deposits. These actions have accounted for much of the decline in retail CDs and money market accounts since year-end 2010. Also during the first quarter of 2011, Peoples experienced seasonal increases in governmental/public funds from tax collections, as well as consumer savings and non-interest-bearing deposit balances. Governmental/public funds balances normally decline in the second half of the year corresponding with governmental expenditures.
Over the last several quarters, Peoples has reduced the amount of brokered CDs due to the growth in retail deposit balances. Management expects further reductions in these balances in future quarters, as these deposits are not expected to be renewed based on Peoples' current deposit strategies and expected funding needs. Still, management continues to consider these deposits to be an alternative funding source to other wholesale funding for satisfying potential future liquidity needs.

The reduction in national market repurchase agreements since June 30, 2010 was the result of management's planned deleveraging of the balance sheet. Peoples has repaid maturing long-term borrowings over the last several quarters, using funds generated from retail deposit growth, contributing to the decline since September 30, 2009. The level and composition of borrowed funds may change in future quarters, as management will continue to use a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings to manage the interest rate risk of the balance sheet.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
During the first half of 2011, Peoples' total stockholders' equity and regulatory capital measures were impacted by the Partial TARP Capital Redemption. However, at June 30, 2011, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered well capitalized institutions under banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain strong capital positions throughout the current credit cycle and economic downturn to provide greater flexibility to work through asset quality issues that have arisen.

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. This non-GAAP financial measure and related ratios facilitate comparisons with peers since they remove the impact of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fluctuations in tangible equity and tangible common equity over the last several quarters primarily reflected the impact of changes in fair value of Peoples' available-for-sale investment portfolio on accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of total stockholders' equity. The reduction in tangible assets over the prior two quarters occurred primarily as a result of decreased loan balances, coupled with the reduction in the investment portfolio.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset/liability management (“ALM”) function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the ALM function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact both the earnings stream as well as market values of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities or early withdrawal of deposits, can expose Peoples to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.
Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level and amount of IRR. The methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2010 Form 10-K.
The following table shows the estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity based upon a standard, parallel shock analysis (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 2011, Peoples' balance sheet remained positioned for a rising interest rate environment, as illustrated by the potential increase in net interest income shown in the above table. While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in Peoples' balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a non-parallel manners, with the differences in both the timing and magnitude changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any benefit that could occur as a result of the Federal Reserve increasing short-term interest rates in future quarters could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates.
Liquidity
In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The ALCO defines liquidity as the ability to meet anticipated and unanticipated operating cash needs, loan demand and deposit withdrawals, without incurring a sustained negative impact on profitability. The ALCO's liquidity management policy sets limits on the net liquidity position and the concentration of non-core funding sources, both wholesale funding and brokered deposits. 
Typically, the main source of liquidity for Peoples is deposit growth. Liquidity is also provided by cash generated from earning assets such as maturities, calls, principal payments and interest income from loans and investment securities. Peoples also uses various wholesale funding sources to supplement funding from customer deposits. These external sources also provide Peoples with the ability to obtain large quantities of funds in a relatively short time period in the event of sudden unanticipated cash needs.
Peoples also has a contingency funding plan that serves as an action plan for management in the event of a short-term or long-term funding crisis caused by a single or series of unexpected events. The policy identifies potential triggers and early warning indicators of a funding crisis, such as unexpected deposit withdrawals, and failure of unrelated financial institutions within Peoples' primary market area. Additionally, the policy identifies sources of liquidity that may be utilized in the event of either a short-term or a long-term funding crisis.

At June 30, 2011, Peoples had available borrowing capacity through its wholesale funding sources, primarily the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and unpledged investment securities totaling approximately $329 million that can be used to satisfy liquidity needs, compared to $286 million at year-end 2010. This liquidity position excludes excess cash reserves being maintained and the impact of Peoples' ability to obtain additional funding by either offering higher rates on retail deposits or issuing additional brokered deposits
Management believes the current balance of cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from the investment portfolio, along with the availability of other funding sources, will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations
Peoples routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples' normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure. The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:
