NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fulton Financial Corporation (the Corporation) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
NOTE B Net Income Per Common Share and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Corporations basic net income per common share is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Net income available to common shareholders is calculated as net income less accrued dividends and discount accretion related to preferred stock.
For diluted net income per common share, net income available to common shareholders is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporations common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock and common stock warrants.
A reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per common share and diluted net income per common share follows.

The total amount recorded as a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive income upon settlement of these derivatives is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the related securities using the effective interest method. The amount of net losses in accumulated other comprehensive income that will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months is expected to be approximately $135,000. |

The $509,000 and $1.3 million of other-than-temporary impairment charges related to financial institution stocks during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, were due to the increasing severity and duration of the declines in fair values of certain bank stock holdings, in conjunction with managements assessment of the near-term prospects of each specific issuer. As of June 30, 2010, after other-than-temporary impairment charges, the financial institutions stock portfolio had a cost basis of $30.9 million and a fair value of $31.1 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation recorded $3.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively, of other-than-temporary impairment losses for pooled trust preferred securities based on an expected cash flows model.

For its investments in equity securities, most notably its investments in stocks of financial institutions, management evaluates the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Corporations ability and intent to hold those investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a recovery of fair value, the Corporation does not consider those investments with unrealized holding losses as of June 30, 2010 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
The unrealized holding losses on investments in student loan auction rate securities, also known as auction rate certificates (ARCs), are attributable to liquidity issues resulting from the failure of periodic auctions. Fulton Financial Advisors (FFA), the investment management and trust division of the Corporations Fulton Bank, N.A. subsidiary, held ARCs for some of its customers accounts. FFA had previously sold ARCs to customers as short-term investments with fair values that could be derived based on periodic auctions under normal market conditions. During 2008 and 2009, the Corporation purchased ARCs from customers due to the failure of these periodic auctions, which made these previously short-term investments illiquid.
As of June 30, 2010, approximately $231 million, or 84%, of the ARCs were rated above investment grade, with approximately $175 million, or 63%, AAA rated by at least one ratings agency. Approximately $29 million, or 11%, of ARCs were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency. Of this amount, approximately $17 million, or 57%, of the student loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the Federal government. In total, approximately $245 million, or 88%, of the student loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the Federal government. At June 30, 2010, all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments. Because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.
The Corporations collateralized mortgage obligations have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in market value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, the Corporation does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.

The Corporations investments in single-issuer trust preferred securities had an unrealized loss of $14.5 million as of June 30, 2010. The Corporation did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges for single-issuer trust preferred securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 or 2009, respectively. The Corporation holds 11 single-issuer trust preferred securities that were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with an amortized cost of $37.1 million and an estimated fair value of $32.2 million as of June 30, 2010. The majority of the single-issuer trust preferred securities rated below investment grade were rated BB or Baa. Single-issuer trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $13.7 million and an estimated fair value of $10.6 million as of June 30, 2010, were not rated by any ratings agency.
The Corporation holds ten pooled trust preferred securities. Nine of these securities, with an amortized cost of $12.6 million and an estimated fair value of $3.7 million, were rated below investment grade by at least one ratings agency, with ratings ranging from C to Ca. For each of the nine pooled trust preferred securities rated below investment grade, the class of securities held by the Corporation is below the most senior tranche, with the Corporations interests being subordinate to other investors in the pool. The Corporation determines the fair value of pooled trust preferred securities based on quotes provided by third-party brokers.
The amortized cost of pooled trust preferred securities is the purchase price of the securities, net of cumulative credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges, determined using an expected cash flows model. The most significant input to the expected cash flows model was the expected payment deferral rate for each pooled trust preferred security. The Corporation evaluates the financial metrics, such as capital ratios and non-performing asset ratios, of the individual financial institution issuers that comprise each pooled trust preferred security to estimate its expected deferral rate. The actual weighted average cumulative defaults and deferrals as a percentage of original collateral were approximately 30% as of June 30, 2010. The discounted cash flow modeling for pooled trust preferred securities held by the Corporation as of June 30, 2010 assumed, on average, an additional 12% expected deferral rate.
Based on managements other-than-temporary impairment evaluations, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be maturity, corporate debt securities with a fair value of $123.2 million were not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, such troubled debt restructurings included $32.0 million of residential mortgages, $14.9 million of commercial mortgages, $6.2 million of construction loans, $4.3 million of commercial loans and $266,000 of consumer loans. As of December 31, 2009, troubled debt restructurings included $24.6 million of residential mortgages and $16.5 million of commercial loans.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans are loans for which the Corporation believes it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
The Corporation uses an internal risk rating process for its commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans, consisting of nine general classifications ranging from excellent to loss. Risk ratings
14
are initially assigned to loans by the loan officers and are reviewed on a regular basis by loan review staff in the normal course of their loan review procedures. Risk rating allows management to identify riskier credits in a timely manner and to allocate resources to managing troubled accounts.
Larger balance commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans with risk ratings of substandard or lower are individually reviewed for impairment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) Section 310-10-35. A loan with a substandard credit rating is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. In addition, there exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt. Collection of principal may be collateral-intensive. Substandard credits are usually characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization.
An allowance for loan losses is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, the estimated fair value of substantially all of the Corporations impaired loans were measured based on the estimated fair value of the loans collateral. Collateral could be in the form of real estate in the case of impaired residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and construction loans, or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real property.
For loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through certified third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including: the age of the most recent appraisal; the loan-to-value based on the original appraisal; the condition of the property; the Corporations experience and knowledge of the market; the purpose of the loan; environmental factors; payment status; the strength of any guarantors; and the existence and age of other indications of value such as broker price opinions, among others. When the Corporation concludes that an updated appraisal is not necessary, estimated fair values for real estate collateral are based on one or more of the following: the original appraisal, a less formal broker price opinion, or a discounted cash flow analysis.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, approximately 25% and 40% of impaired loans secured by real estate with principal balances greater than $1 million were measured at estimated fair value using certified third-party appraisals that had been updated within 12 months. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.
For loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable or inventory, estimated fair values are determined based on borrower financial statements, inventory listings, accounts receivable agings or borrowing base certificates. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. Liquidation or collection discounts are applied to these assets based upon existing loan evaluation policies.
15
The recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired, as defined by FASB ASC Section 310-10-35, and the related allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows:

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 there were $347.4 million and $295.6 million, respectively, of impaired loans that did not have a related allowance for loan loss. The estimated fair values of the collateral for these loans exceeded the carrying amount of the loans and, accordingly, no specific valuation allowance was considered to be necessary.
The average recorded investment in impaired performing loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $811.5 million and $797.6 million, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired non-accrual loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $228.6 million and $191.2 million, respectively. For 2009, the average recorded investment in impaired performing loans and impaired non-accrual loans was approximately $492.6 million and $115.1 million, respectively.
The Corporation generally applies all payments received on non-accruing impaired loans to principal until such time as the principal is paid off, after which time any additional payments received are recognized as interest income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation recognized interest income of approximately $7.7 million and $15.9 million on impaired loans, respectively. For 2009, the Corporation recognized interest income of approximately $26.5 million on impaired loans.
NOTE F Stock-Based Compensation
The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. The Corporation grants equity awards to employees, consisting of stock options and restricted stock, under its Stock Option and Compensation Plans (Option Plan). In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporations Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Under the Option Plan, stock options and restricted stock are granted to key employees. Restricted stock fair values and stock option exercise prices are equal to the average trading price of the Corporations stock on the date of grant. Stock options carry terms of up to ten years. Restricted stock awards earn dividends during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. Stock options and restricted stock are typically granted annually on July 1st and become fully vested over or after a three-year
16
vesting period. Certain events, as defined in the Option Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of both stock options and restricted stock. As of June 30, 2010, the Option Plan had 13.7 million shares reserved for future grants through 2013. On July 1, 2010, the Corporation granted approximately 578,000 stock options and 265,000 shares of restricted stock under its Option Plan.
In connection with the Corporations participation in the USTs Capital Purchase Program (CPP) component of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the 2009 and 2010 restricted stock granted to certain key employees is subject to the requirements and limitations contained in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended, and related regulations. Among other things, restricted stock grants to these key employees may not fully vest until the longer of: two years after the date of grant, or the Corporations participation in the CPP ends. None of the key employees who received 2009 and 2010 restricted stock grants subject to the CPP vesting restrictions received 2009 or 2010 stock option awards.
NOTE G Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation maintains a defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) for certain employees. Contributions to the Pension Plan are actuarially determined and funded annually, if required. Pension Plan assets are invested in: money markets; fixed income securities, including corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities and common trust funds; and equity securities, including common stocks and common stock mutual funds. In 2007, the Corporation curtailed the Pension Plan, discontinuing the accrual of benefits for all existing participants effective January 1, 2008.
The Corporation currently provides medical and life insurance benefits under a postretirement benefits plan (Postretirement Plan) to certain retired full-time employees who were employees of the Corporation prior to January 1, 1998. Certain full-time employees may become eligible for these discretionary benefits if they reach retirement age while working for the Corporation.
The Corporation recognizes the funded status of its Pension Plan and Postretirement Plan on the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes the changes in that funded status through other comprehensive income.
The net periodic benefit cost for the Corporations Pension Plan and Postretirement Plan, as determined by consulting actuaries, consisted of the following components for the three and six months ended June 30:

NOTE H Derivative Financial Instruments
In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sale or purchase of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party investors to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of the interest rate locks. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price on a future date. Both the interest rate locks and the forward commitments are accounted for as derivatives and carried at fair value, determined as the amount that would be necessary to settle each derivative financial instrument at the end of the period. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value during the period recorded within gains on sales of mortgage loans on the consolidated statements of income.
The following table presents a summary of the notional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, none of which have been designated as hedging instruments:

NOTE I Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Corporations consolidated balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the outstanding amount of those instruments.
The outstanding amounts of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were as follows:

Commitments to extend credit |

Standby letters of credit |
516,069 | 551,064 | ||||
Commercial letters of credit |
36,144 | 37,662 |
The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which represents managements estimate of losses associated with unused commitments to extend credit on loans impaired under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35. See Note E, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional details.
Residential Lending
Residential mortgages are originated and sold by the Corporation through Fulton Mortgage Company, which operates as a division of each of the Corporations subsidiary banks. The loans originated and sold are predominantly prime loans that conform to published standards of government sponsored agencies. Prior to 2008, the Corporations former Resource Bank subsidiary operated a national wholesale mortgage lending operation which originated and sold significant volumes of non-prime loans from the time the Corporation acquired Resource Bank in 2004 through 2007.
Beginning in 2007, Resource Bank experienced an increase in requests from secondary market purchasers to repurchase non-prime loans sold to those investors. These repurchase requests resulted in the Corporation recording charges representing the write-downs that were necessary to reduce the loan balances to their estimated net realizable values, based on valuations of the underlying properties, as adjusted for market factors and other considerations. Many of the loans the Corporation repurchased were delinquent and were settled through foreclosure and sale of the underlying collateral.

(2) | Reserve balance included as a component of other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. |
(3) | Principal balances, net of write-downs, are included as a component of loans, net of unearned income on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. |
(4) | OREO is written down to its estimated fair value upon transfer from loans receivable. |
Management believes that the reserves recorded as of June 30, 2010 are adequate for the known potential repurchases. However, continued declines in collateral values or the identification of additional loans to be repurchased could necessitate additional reserves in the future.
NOTE J Fair Value Option
FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and requires certain disclosures for amounts for which the fair value option is applied.
The Corporation elected to measure mortgage loans held for sale at fair value to more accurately reflect the financial performance of its mortgage banking activities in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative financial instruments related to these activities are also recorded at fair value, as noted within Note H, Derivative Financial Instruments. The Corporation determines fair value for its mortgage loans held for sale based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Changes in fair value during the period are recorded as components of gains on sales of mortgage loans on the consolidated statements of income. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded within interest income on the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE K Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):
| Level 1 Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
| Level 2 Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means. |
| Level 3 Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued. |
The Corporation has categorized all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis into the above three levels.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements (ASC Update 2010-06). ASC Update 2010-06 requires companies to disclose, and provide the reasons for, all transfers of assets and liabilities between the Level 1 and 2 fair value categories. ASC Update 2010-06 also clarifies that companies should disclose fair value measurement disclosures for classes of assets and liabilities which are subsets of line items within the balance sheet, if necessary. In addition, ASC Update 2010-06 provides additional clarification related to disclosures about the fair value techniques and inputs for assets and liabilities classified within Level 2 or 3 categories. The disclosure requirements prescribed by ASC Update No. 2010-06 were effective for the Corporation on March 31, 2010. The Corporation did not record any transfers of assets or liabilities between the Level 1 and Level 2 fair value categories during the three or six months ended June 30, 2010.
ASC Update 2010-06 also requires companies to reconcile changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities by separately providing information about Level 3 purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. This provision of ASC Update 2010-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, or March 31, 2011 for the Corporation. The adoption of this provision of ASC Update 2010-06 is not expected to materially impact the Corporations fair value measurement disclosures.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the tables above are as follows:
| Mortgage loans held for sale This category consists of mortgage loans held for sale that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Fair values as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were measured as the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. |
22
| Available for sale investment securities Included within this asset category are both equity and debt securities: |
| Equity securities Equity securities consist of stocks of financial institutions ($31.1 million at June 30, 2010 and $32.3 million at December 31, 2009) and mutual fund and other equity investments ($8.5 million at June 30, 2010 and $9.0 million at December 31, 2009). These Level 1 investments are measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets. Restricted equity securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank ($100.3 million at June 30, 2010 and $99.1 million at December 31, 2009) have been excluded from the above table. |
| U.S. Government securities/U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Mortgage-backed securities These debt securities are classified as Level 2 investments. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The pricing data and market quotes the Corporation obtains from outside sources are reviewed internally for reasonableness. |
| Corporate debt securities This category consists of subordinated debt issued by financial institutions ($34.8 million at June 30, 2010 and $32.7 million at December 31, 2009), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($81.0 million at June 30, 2010 and $75.8 million at December 31, 2009), pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($4.3 million at June 30, 2010 and $5.0 million at December 31, 2009) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ($3.1 million at June 30, 2010 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2009). |
Classified as Level 2 investments are the subordinated debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $72.9 million and $68.8 million of single-issuer trust preferred securities held at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. These corporate debt securities are measured at fair value by a third-party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. As with the debt securities described above, an active market presently exists for securities similar to these corporate debt security holdings.
Classified as Level 3 assets are the Corporations investments in pooled trust preferred securities and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities ($8.1 million at June 30, 2010 and $7.0 million at December 31, 2009). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporations third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive market transactions for similar investments.
| Auction rate securities Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investments and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The expected cash flows model the Corporation obtains from outside sources is reviewed internally for reasonableness. |
23
| Other financial assets Included within this asset category are: Level 1 assets, consisting of mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans and measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets; and Level 2 assets representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors. The fair value of the Corporations interest rate locks and forward commitments are determined as the amount that would be required to settle each derivative financial instrument at the balance sheet date. See Note H, Derivative Financial Instruments, for additional information. |
| Other financial liabilities Included within this category are: Level 1 employee deferred compensation liabilities which represent amounts due to employees under the deferred compensation plans described under the heading Other financial assets above and Level 2 mortgage banking derivatives, described under the heading Other financial assets above. |
The following tables present the changes in the Corporations assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

During 2009, the Corporation completed the repurchase of all eligible ARCs and, as of December 31, 2009, there were no longer any ARCs still held by customers that the Corporation had agreed to purchase. |
(2) | For pooled trust preferred securities, realized adjustments to fair value represent credit related other-than-temporary impairment charges that were recorded as a reduction to investment securities gains on the consolidated statements of income. |
(3) | Pooled trust preferred securities, single-issuer trust preferred securities, and ARCs are classified as available for sale investment securities; as such, the unrealized adjustment to fair value was recorded as an unrealized holding gain (loss) and included as a component of available for sale investment securities on the consolidated balance sheet. |
(4) | Included as a component of net interest income on the consolidated statements of income. |
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, such as upon their acquisition or when there is evidence of impairment.
The Corporations assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and reported on the Corporations consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the tables above are as follows:
| Loans held for sale This category consists of floating rate residential mortgage construction loans which are measured at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Fair value was measured as the prices that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. |
| Net loans This category consists of residential mortgage loans and home equity loans that were previously sold and repurchased from secondary market investors during the first half of 2010 and have been classified as Level 2 assets. Upon repurchase, these loans were written down to the appraised value of their underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs. See Note I, Commitments and Contingencies for additional information. |
This category also consists of loans that were considered to be impaired under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 and have been classified as Level 3 assets. Impaired loans are generally measured at fair value of their underlying collateral. An allowance for loan losses is allocated to an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses. See Note E, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional details.
| Other financial assets This category includes other real estate owned (OREO) ($25.7 million at June 30, 2010 and $23.3 million at December 31, 2009) and mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) ($24.3 million at June 30, 2010 and $22.5 million at December 31, 2009), both classified as Level 3 assets. |
Fair values for OREO were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets.
MSRs are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans, which the Corporation continues to service, to secondary market investors. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are evaluated quarterly for impairment, by comparing the carrying amount to estimated fair value. Fair value is determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation. Significant inputs to the valuation include expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans.
| Reserve for unfunded commitments This liability represents the reserve associated with unused commitments to extend credit on loans which are impaired under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35, and included as Level 3 assets under the heading, Net loans above. The fair value of the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined based on the results of the measurement of impaired loans. As such, this liability is classified as a Level 3 item. See Note E, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses for additional details. |

FASB ASC Section 825-10-50 Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following table details the book values and estimated fair values of the Corporations financial instruments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. A general description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values is also provided.
Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. Further, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Corporations consolidated balance sheets are excluded. For financial instruments listed below which are not measured at fair value on the Corporations consolidated balance sheets, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent managements estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.

(1) | Description of fair value determinations for these financial instruments, or certain financial instruments within these categories, measured at fair value on the Corporations consolidated balance sheets, are detailed under the heading, FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements above. |
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less and excluding those recorded at fair value and reported above under the heading, FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements, the carrying amount was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
Assets |
Liabilities | |
Cash and due from banks | Demand and savings deposits | |
Interest bearing deposits | Short-term borrowings | |
Federal funds sold | Accrued interest payable | |
Accrued interest receivable | Other financial liabilities |
For those components of the above-listed financial instruments with remaining maturities greater than 90 days, fair values were determined by discounting contractual cash flows using rates which could be earned for assets with similar remaining maturities and, in the case of liabilities, rates at which the liabilities with similar remaining maturities could be issued as of the balance sheet date.
27
The estimated fair values of securities held to maturity as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were based on quoted market prices, broker quotes or dealer quotes.
For short-term loans and variable rate loans that reprice within 90 days, the carrying value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For other types of loans and time deposits, fair value was estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt was estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a rate at which the Corporation could issue debt with a similar remaining maturity as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, included within other financial liabilities above, are estimated to equal their carrying amounts.
NOTE L New Accounting Standard
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASC Update 2010-20). The goal of ASC Update 2010-20 is to improve transparency in financial reporting by companies that hold financing receivables, which include loans, lease receivables, and other long-term receivables. ASC Update 2010-20 requires companies to provide more information in their disclosures about the credit quality of their financing receivables and the credit reserves held against them. The Corporations new and existing disclosures related to the credit quality of loans will be disaggregated based on how it develops its allowance for credit losses and how it measures credit exposures.
For publicly traded companies, the expanded disclosure requirements of ASC Update 2010-20 that relate to end of reporting period information are effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010, or December 31, 2010 for the Corporation. The expanded disclosure requirements that relate to credit quality activity during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for the Corporation. The adoption of ASC Update 2010-20 will impact the Corporations disclosures related to its allowance for credit losses; however, this update will not impact how the Corporation measures its allowance for credit losses.
NOTE M Subsequent Event
On July 14, 2010, the Corporation redeemed all 376,500 outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock that it issued to the UST as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program in December 2008. The Corporation paid $379.6 million to the UST, consisting of $376.5 million of principal and $3.1 million of dividends.
The preferred stock had a carrying value of $371.0 million at June 30, 2010, as a result of allocating the proceeds received upon issuance to the preferred stock and common stock warrants, also issued to the UST, based on their relative fair value. Upon redemption, the $5.5 million preferred stock discount will be recorded as a reduction to third quarter net income available to common shareholders.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Managements Discussion) relates to Fulton Financial Corporation (the Corporation), a financial holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act and incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1982, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Managements discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes presented in this report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Corporation has made, and may continue to make, certain forward-looking statements with respect to its financial conditions and results of operations. Many factors could affect future financial results, including without limitation: asset quality and the impact of adverse changes in the economy and in credit or other markets and resulting effects on credit risk and asset values; acquisition and growth strategies; market risk; changes or adverse developments in economic, political, or regulatory conditions; a continuation or worsening of the current disruption in credit and other markets, including the lack of or reduced access to, and the abnormal functioning of, markets for mortgages and other asset-backed securities and for commercial paper and other short-term borrowings; changes in the levels of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance premiums and assessments; the effect of competition and interest rates on net interest margin and net interest income; investment strategy and income growth; investment securities gains and losses; declines in the value of securities which may result in charges to earnings; changes in rates of deposit and loan growth or a decline in loans originated; balances of risk-sensitive assets to risk-sensitive liabilities; salaries and employee benefits and other expenses; amortization of intangible assets; goodwill impairment; capital and liquidity strategies, and other financial and business matters for future periods. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as may, should, will, could, estimates, predicts, potential, continue, anticipates, believes, plans, expects, future and intends and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Corporations control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary Financial Results
The Corporation generates the majority of its revenue through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and/or maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is net interest income (fully taxable-equivalent, or FTE) as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various services and products offered to its customers and through sales of assets, such as loans, investments or properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses on loans, operating expenses and income taxes.

The Corporations income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2010 increased $27.5 million, or 176.9%, from the same period in 2009. Income before income taxes for the first half of 2010 increased $49.5 million, or 164.2%, in comparison to the first half of 2009. The increase was primarily due to the following significant items:
Increases in income before income taxes:
| Increases in net interest income of $11.2 million and $25.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The increases in net interest income were a result of increases in the net interest margin. For the second quarter of 2010, the net interest margin increased 33 basis points, or 9.6%, in comparison to the second quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, net interest margin increased 33 basis points, or 9.6%. During 2010, significant declines in funding costs resulted in an improvement in net interest margin. |
| Decreases in the provision for loan losses of $10.0 million and $20.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. During the second quarter and first half of 2010, allowance allocation needs for impaired loans slowed in comparison to the same periods in 2009, resulting in a decrease in the provision for loan losses. |
| Decreases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense of $7.1 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation paid a $7.7 million special FDIC assessment. Partially offsetting the impact of the special assessment was an increase in assessment rates and an increase in the balance of insured deposits in 2010. |
| A $6.2 million decrease in losses associated with the Corporations guarantee to purchase illiquid student loan auction rate securities, also known as auction rate certificates (ARCs), for the first half of 2010 in comparison to the first half of 2009. Fulton Financial Advisors (FFA), the investment management and trust division of the Corporations Fulton Bank, N.A. subsidiary, held ARCs for some of its customers accounts. FFA had previously sold ARCs to customers as short-term investments with fair values that could be derived based on periodic auctions under normal market |
30
conditions. During the first quarter of 2009, the Corporation recorded a pre-tax charge, as a component of operating risk loss on the consolidated statements of income, of $6.2 million, which represented contingent losses related to guarantees to purchase ARCs held by customers. As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had purchased all remaining ARCs held by customers. |
Decrease in income before income taxes:
| Decreases of $4.3 million and $9.6 million in gains on sales of mortgage loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. During 2009, low interest rates on residential mortgages resulted in a significant level of residential mortgage refinances and gains on sales of these loans. The decrease in gains on sales of mortgage loans in 2010 was a result of lower refinance volumes. |
Common Stock Issuance and Redemption of Preferred Stock Outstanding
In May 2010, the Corporation issued 21.8 million shares of its common stock for total proceeds of $226.3 million in anticipation of redeeming its outstanding preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (UST). The proceeds from the common stock issuance were held in other interest-earning assets from the date of issuance through the end of the second quarter, as approval to redeem the preferred stock was not obtained until July 14, 2010. Had the preferred stock been redeemed concurrently with the common stock issuance, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2010 would have been 3.82%, or 1.6% higher. In addition, preferred stock dividends for the second quarter of 2010 would have been reduced by approximately $3.1 million, or 1.6 cents per diluted share.
On July 14, 2010, upon receiving formal authorization, the Corporation redeemed its 376,500 shares of its Series A preferred stock with a total payment to the UST of $379.6 million, consisting of $376.5 million par value and $3.1 million of dividends. The preferred stock had a carrying value of $371.0 million at June 30, 2010, as a result of allocating the proceeds received upon issuance to the preferred stock and common stock warrants, also issued to the UST, based on their relative fair value. Upon redemption, the $5.5 million preferred stock discount was recorded as a reduction to third quarter net income available to common shareholders.
Subsequent to the redemption of the Corporations outstanding preferred shares, the UST still holds warrants to purchase up to 5.5 million shares of the Corporations common stock. The Corporation intends to repurchase the 5.5 million outstanding common stock warrants at a price to be negotiated. As of June 30, 2010, the common stock warrants have a carrying value of $7.6 million, recorded as a component of shareholders equity. If the common stock warrants are redeemed at a price in excess of their carrying value, the excess will be recorded as a reduction to shareholders equity and not as a reduction to net income available to common shareholders.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2010 compared to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2009
Net Interest Income
FTE net interest income increased $11.3 million, or 8.6%, from $131.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $143.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. This was the net result of a $10.4 million decrease in FTE interest income and a $21.6 million decrease in interest expense.

The following table provides a comparative average balance sheet and net interest income analysis for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.

Interest income decreased $10.4 million, or 5.1%. A 23 basis point, or 4.4%, decrease in average yields resulted in a $5.1 million decrease in interest income. The remaining $5.3 million decrease was due to a $124.8 million, or 0.8%, decrease in average interest-earning assets.
Average loans, by type, are summarized in the following table:

The Corporation experienced growth in its commercial mortgage ($228.0 million, or 5.6%), residential mortgage ($36.1 million, or 3.9%) and commercial loan ($30.1 million, or 0.8%) portfolios.
Geographically, the growth in commercial mortgages was mainly attributable to the Corporations Pennsylvania ($142.9 million, or 6.8%, increase) and Maryland ($40.1 million, or 11.5%, increase) markets. Commercial loan growth was primarily in the Pennsylvania ($99.1 million, or 4.2%) and New Jersey ($22.2 million, or 4.1%) markets, partially offset by declines in the Maryland ($48.0 million, or 11.7%) and Virginia ($43.4 million, or 14.2%) markets.
33
The $36.1 million, or 3.9%, increase in residential mortgages was primarily due to the Corporation retaining 10 and 15 year fixed rate mortgages in portfolio. These loans were underwritten to the standards required for sale to third-party investors. However, the Corporation elected to retain them in its portfolio due to their relatively attractive yields.
The $242.4 million, or 21.0%, decrease in construction loans was primarily due to efforts to decrease credit exposure in this portfolio. Geographically, the decline was throughout all of the Corporations markets, with decreases in Maryland ($98.9 million, or 32.1%), New Jersey ($70.4 million, or 30.1%), Virginia ($59.7 million, or 20.8%) and Pennsylvania ($11.8 million, or 3.8%). The decrease in home equity loans was mainly due to residential mortgage refinances, driven by low interest rates.
The average yield on loans decreased 14 basis points, or 2.6%, from 5.49% in 2009 to 5.35% in 2010, despite the average prime rate remaining at 3.25% for the second quarter of both 2010 and 2009. The decrease in average yields on loans was attributable to repayments of higher-yielding loans and declining average rates on fixed and adjustable rate loans which, unlike floating rate loans, have a lagged repricing effect.
Average investments decreased $388.7 million, or 11.9%, due largely to sales of collateralized mortgage obligations and maturities of mortgage-backed securities, the proceeds of which were not fully reinvested into the portfolio, because current rates on many investment options were not attractive. The average yield on investments decreased 16 basis points, or 3.6%, from 4.47% in 2009 to 4.31% in 2010, as investment security purchases were at yields that were lower than the overall portfolio yield.
Other interest-earning assets, consisting of interest-bearing deposits with other banks, increased $345.3 million, or 1,652.4%. The Corporation invested $226.3 million of proceeds received from its May 2010 common stock offering in short-term funds, with the intent of redeeming its outstanding preferred stock. Because final approval to redeem the preferred stock did not occur until July 2010, the impact of investing these funds in interest-bearing deposits with other banks for almost two months had a negative impact on net interest margin as the average yield on interest-bearing deposits with other banks was 0.25% for the second quarter of 2010, compared to an average yield for investment securities of 4.31%.
Interest expense decreased $21.6 million, or 30.8%, to $48.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $70.2 million in the same period in 2009. Interest expense decreased $14.8 million as a result of a 61 basis point, or 27.6%, decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense decreased an additional $6.8 million as a result of a $571.4 million, or 4.5%, decline in average interest-bearing liabilities.

The Corporation experienced an increase in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts of $1.3 billion, or 21.1%. Increases in demand and savings deposits were consistent with industry trends, as economic conditions have slowed spending and encouraged saving. Also contributing to the growth in demand and savings deposits was the Corporations promotional efforts with a focus on
34
building customer relationships. The increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts was primarily in business accounts, the increase in interest-bearing demand accounts was primarily in personal accounts and partially in municipal accounts, and the increase in savings accounts was in personal, business and municipal accounts. The growth in business accounts was due, in part, to businesses being required to keep higher balances on hand to offset service fees, as well as a migration from the Corporations cash management products due to low interest rates.
The decrease in time deposits was due to a $309.8 million, or 5.7%, decrease in customer certificates of deposit and a $195.4 million, or 94.5%, decrease in brokered certificates of deposit. The decrease in customer certificates of deposits was in accounts with original maturity terms less than one year, partially offset by growth in accounts with original maturity terms greater than one year and jumbo certificates of deposit. The growth in longer-term certificates of deposit was due to the Corporations continuing focus on building customer relationships, while at the same time extending funding maturities at reasonable rates over a longer time horizon. The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit, was replaced by the significant growth in customer funding.
The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 72 basis points, or 36.5%, from 1.97% in 2009 to 1.25% in 2010 primarily due to the maturities of higher-rate certificates of deposit. The average cost of certificates of deposit decreased 104 basis points, or 35.0%.

The $83.4 million net decrease in short-term customer funding resulted from customers transferring funds from the cash management program to deposits due to the low interest rate environment. The $538.1 million decrease in Federal funds purchased was due to increases in non-interest and interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, combined with the decrease in investments and no growth in the loan portfolio, resulting in reduced funding needs for the Corporation. The $376.9 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances was due to maturities, which were not replaced with new advances.

The provision for loan losses was $40.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 20.0%, from the same period in 2009. A slowing in the pace of specific loan loss allocations needed for impaired loans contributed to the decrease in the provision for loan losses. See Note E, Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to impaired loans.
Net charge-offs decreased $232,000, or 0.8%, to $28.9 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $29.1 million for the second quarter of 2009. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 97 basis points for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. Decreases in construction loan net charge-offs ($2.4 million, or 21.3%), commercial mortgage net charge-offs ($2.2 million, or 36.7%) and leasing and other net charge-offs ($1.5 million, or 81.9%), were offset by an increase in commercial loan net charge-offs ($6.3 million, or 105.0%).
36
Of the $28.9 million of net charge-offs recorded in the second quarter of 2010, 56.5% were in New Jersey, 31.2% in Pennsylvania and 12.6% in Virginia. During the second quarter of 2010, there were seven individual charge-offs that exceeded $1.0 million, totaling $16.5 million, of which $9.0 million were for businesses that were negatively impacted by the downturn in residential and commercial real estate.

Excluded from non-accrual loans above were $57.7 million of loans whose terms were modified under a troubled debt restructuring and were current under their modified terms at June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, such troubled debt restructurings included $32.0 million of residential mortgages, $14.9 million of commercial mortgages, $6.2 million of construction loans, $4.3 million of commercial loans and $266,000 of consumer loans.

Non-performing loans increased to $316.9 million at June 30, 2010, from $267.3 million at June 30, 2009. The $49.7 million, or 18.6%, increase in non-performing loans in comparison to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to a $43.6 million, or 75.4%, increase in non-performing commercial mortgages, a $19.2 million, or 32.8%, increase in non-performing commercial loans and an $8.4 million, or 22.6%, increase in non-performing residential mortgage and home equity loans, offset by a $23.9 million, or 23.2%, decrease in non-performing construction loans.
The $43.6 million increase in non-performing commercial mortgages was primarily due to increases in the Pennsylvania ($25.8 million, or 150.3%) and New Jersey ($15.7 million, or 59.5%) markets. The increase in Pennsylvania was primarily due to two loans, a condominium development and a hotel, included in non-performing assets as of June 30, 2010, which totaled $14.9 million.
37
The $19.2 million increase in non-performing commercial loans was a result of prolonged weak economic conditions continuing to put stress on business customers. Geographically, the increase was due to increases in the Pennsylvania ($19.6 million, or 99.3%) and Maryland ($3.5 million, or 87.1%) markets, offset by a 3.5 million, or 20.6%, decrease in Virginia.
The $8.4 million increase in non-performing residential mortgage and home equity loans was primarily due to increases in the New Jersey ($4.0 million, or 68.3%), Delaware ($2.1 million, or 138.9%), Pennsylvania ($1.6 million, or 17.6%), and Maryland ($1.5 million, or 40.8%) markets.
The $23.9 million decrease in non-performing construction loans was due to the $29.0 million of net charge-offs recorded during the first half of 2010, partially offset by increases to non-performing construction loans, primarily in the Pennsylvania and Maryland markets.
The $25.7 million of OREO at June 30, 2010 included $15.1 million of residential properties and $10.6 million of commercial properties. The residential properties included $5.8 million of foreclosed repurchased residential mortgage loans, as discussed in Note I, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The increase in delinquency rates since the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to an increase in greater than 90 days delinquency rates for commercial mortgages and commercial loans, offset by a decline in greater than 90 days delinquency rates for construction loans.
The increases in greater than 90 days delinquencies on commercial mortgages and commercial loans were a by-product of slow consumer demand that continues to place stress on businesses. The decrease in construction loan delinquencies was primarily due to certain delinquent accounts being charged off since June 30, 2009.
