• Average deposits for second quarter 2012 totaled $3.1 billion, an increase of $732 million or 31% over 2011, reflecting growth in all major deposit categories. The interest paid on deposits between those respective periods decreased to 0.37% from 0.50%.

Betsy Z. Cohen, Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Second quarter 2012 saw a continuation in our earnings growth as a result of significant increases in both our non-interest and net interest income. Adjusted operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure, increased to $10.8 million, a $3.1 million, or 40% increase over the comparable prior year period. Our position as a leader in the prepaid card space continues to drive the increase in non-interest income. On the asset side, we grew our loans 7% over the year in a difficult lending environment. We continue to target what we believe to be lower risk assets including Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, security backed lines of credit and vehicle fleet leasing. Consumer loans, primarily security backed lines of credit, grew 28% over the past year, to $256 million. Due to the historically demonstrated strength of related collateral, losses on security backed loans have been virtually non-existent. The Company is well capitalized, and book value per share increased from $7.90 at June 30, 2011 to $8.54 at June 30, 2012, or an increase of 8%.”
