PROXY STATEMENT
Introduction
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Neffs Bancorp,
Inc. on behalf of the Board of Directors, for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This proxy
statement and the related proxy form are being distributed on or about April 14, 2008.
Neffs Bancorp, Inc. will bear the expense of soliciting proxies. In addition to the use of the
mail, directors, officers and employees of the corporation and its subsidiaries may, without
additional compensation, solicit proxies.
The annual meeting of shareholders will be held on May 14, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. at the NOVA Building,
2375 Levans Road, Coplay, Pennsylvania. Shareholders of record at the close of business on March
31, 2008, are entitled to vote at the meeting.
At the meeting, shareholders will vote to:
|
|
|
Elect 3 Class A directors each to serve for a three-year term.
|
|
|
|
|
Ratify the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP as the corporations independent
auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008; and
|
|
|
|
|
Transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting and any
adjournment or postponement of the meeting.
|
Proxies and Voting Procedures
You can vote your shares by completing and returning a written proxy card. You can also vote in
person at the meeting. Submitting your voting instructions by returning a proxy card will not
affect your right to attend the meeting and vote, if you later decide to attend in person.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are
considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being
forwarded to you by your broker or nominee which is considered, with respect to those shares, the
shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to
vote and you are also invited to attend the meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder
of record, you may not vote your street name shares in person at the meeting, unless you obtain a
proxy executed in your favor, from the holder of record. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a
voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares.
By properly completing a proxy you appoint Ronald Miller as proxy holder and Ronald Gildner as
alternate proxy holder to vote your shares, indicated on the proxy card. Any signed proxy card not
specifying to the contrary will be voted
FOR
:
|
|
|
Election of the nominees identified in this proxy statement; and
|
|
|
|
|
Ratification of the selection of independent auditors for the year ending
December 31, 2008.
|
You may revoke your written proxy by delivering written notice of revocation to David C.
Matulevich, Secretary, Neffs Bancorp, Inc., or by executing a later-dated proxy and giving written
notice of the revocation to Mr. Matulevich at any time before the proxy is voted at the meeting.
Proxy holders will
2
vote shares represented by proxies on the accompanying proxy, if properly signed and returned, in
accordance with instructions of shareholders.
Although the Board of Directors knows of no other business to be presented, in the event that any
other matters are properly brought before the meeting, any proxy given pursuant to this
solicitation will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of management.
At the close of business on March 7, 2008, Neffs Bancorp, Inc had 190,317 shares of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share, issued and outstanding.
Quorum
A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy,
constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. Under Pennsylvania law and Neffs Bancorp, Inc.s
Bylaws, the presence of a quorum is required for each matter to be acted upon at the meeting.
Votes withheld and abstentions are counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular
matter. Broker non-votes are not counted in determining the presence of a quorum for a particular
matter as to which the broker withheld authority. Each share is entitled to one vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. All matters to be voted upon by the shareholders
require the affirmative vote of a majority of shares voted, in person or by proxy, at the annual
meeting, except in the cases where the vote of a greater number of shares is required by law or
under Neffs Bancorp, Inc.s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. In the case of the election of
directors, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes are elected. Shareholders are not
entitled to cumulate votes for the election of directors.
Assuming the presence of a quorum, the three nominees for director receiving the highest number of
votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors will be elected. Votes
withheld from a nominee and broker non-votes will not be cast for the nominee.
Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast by
shareholders is required for the ratification of the selection of independent accountants.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are not deemed to constitute votes cast and, therefore, do not
count either for or against ratification. Abstentions and broker non-votes, however, have the
practical effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority for
each matter by reducing the total number of shares voted from which the required majority is
calculated.
GOVERNANCE OF THE CORPORATION
Our Board of Directors believes that the purpose of corporate governance is to ensure that we
maximize shareholder value in a manner consistent with legal requirements and the highest standards
of integrity. The Board of Directors has adopted and adheres to corporate governance practices,
which the Board of Directors and senior management believe promote this purpose, are sound and
represent best practices. We continually review these governance practices, Pennsylvania law (the
state in which we are incorporated), and SEC regulations, as well as best practices suggested by
recognized governance authorities.
Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Neffs Bancorp, Inc. met 5 times during 2007. There were a total of 11
meetings of the various committees of the Board of Directors in 2007. While the corporation has no
specified attendance policy, all directors attended at least 75% or more of the meetings of the
Board of Directors and of the various committees on which they served. All elected Directors
attended the 2007
3
Annual Meeting of Shareholders and we expect that they will all attend this years meeting. The
Board of Directors has a majority of independent Directors, as defined by NASDAQ. The independent
Directors are Robert B. Heintzelman, John F. Sharkey, Jr., John F. Simock, Mary Ann Wagner and
Duane A. Schleicher.
The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee. In addition, the Board of Directors performs the
functions of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee.
Compensation Committee
During 2007, the Board of Directors performed the function of a compensation committee. The Board
of Directors believes it is not necessary to have a separate compensation committee since the
compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers of the corporations
subsidiary is determined by a majority of independent directors. The Chief Executive Officer is
not present during voting or deliberations on his compensation. The Board of Directors met once as
the compensation committee in 2007.
Nominating Committee
During 2007, the Board of Directors performed the functions of the nominating committee. Nominees
are selected by a majority of independent directors. The Board of Directors believes this process
adequately performs the function of a nominating committee. Under our By-laws, nominations for
director may be made only by the Board of Directors or a Board of Directors committee, or by a
shareholder of record entitled to vote. Section 10.1 of the corporations bylaws requires a
shareholder to deliver a notice of nomination for election to the Board of Directors to the
Secretary no later than 60 days in advance of the anniversary date of the prior years shareholder
meeting. For our annual meeting in the year 2009, we must receive this notice on or before March
14, 2009. You can obtain a copy of the full text of the By-law provision by writing to David C.
Matulevich, Secretary, Neffs Bancorp, Inc., 5629 Route 873, Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010. The
Board of Directors met one time as the Nominating Committee in 2007.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee performs the duties set forth in its charter, which include reviewing
significant audit and accounting principles, policies and practices, reviewing performance of
internal auditing procedures, reviewing reports of examination received from regulatory authorities
and recommending annually, to the Board of Directors, the engagement of an independent certified
public accountant. Members of the Audit Committee during 2007 were Robert B. Heintzelman,
Chairman, Mary Ann Wagner and John F. Sharkey, Jr. The Audit Committee met four times during 2007.
The Board of Directors has determined that John F. Sharkey, Jr. is an audit committee financial
expert. The committee has the authority to engage legal counsel, consultants or other experts, as
it deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. Throughout 2007, the Audit Committee has
consulted with legal counsel.
Shareholder Communications
The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for shareholders to send communications to
the Board of Directors. Due to the infrequency of shareholder communications to the Board of
Directors, the Board of Directors does not believe that a formal process is necessary.
4
Submission of Shareholder Proposals
If a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement for presentation at our 2009
annual meeting of shareholders, the proposal must be addressed to and received by the
Secretary/Assistant Secretary at our principal executive offices at 5629 Route 873, P.O. Box 10,
Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010 no later than December 15, 2008.
We are not required to include any proposal received after December 15, 2008 in our proxy materials
for the 2009 annual meeting.
Code of Ethics
Since 2003, we have had a Code of Ethics. Our Code of Ethics is applicable to our directors,
officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers. The
Code of Ethics encourages individuals to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be
an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors periodically
receives reports on our compliance program. Any shareholder can request a copy of the Code of
Ethics, free of charge, by writing to David C. Matulevich, Secretary, at 5629 Route 873, P.O. Box
10, Neffs, Pennsylvania 18065-0010. We also filed a copy of the Code of Ethics with the SEC as an
exhibit to our December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which can be accessed from the Neffs
Bancorp, Inc. portion of our website, www.neffsnatl.com.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Section10.2 of the Neffs Bancorp, Inc. Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors consists of not
less then five or more than twenty five persons. The Board of Directors is also divided into three
classes. Each class consists, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the directors. The bylaws
also provide that the directors of each class are elected for a term of three years, so that the
term of office of one class of directors expires at the annual meeting each year. The Board of
Directors determines the number of directors in each class.
A majority of the Board of Directors may increase the number of directors between meetings of the
shareholders. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, whether due to an increase in the
number of directors, resignation, retirement, death, or any other reason, may be filled by
appointment by the remaining directors. Any director who is appointed to fill a vacancy holds
office until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which he was
appointed.
The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at eight. There are three nominees for
the Board of Directors for election at the 2008 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has
nominated the following three persons for election to the Board of Directors for the terms
specified:
Nominees for Class A Directors
For a Term of Three Years
John J. Remaley
Herman P. Snyder
John F. Sharkey, Jr.
The Board of Directors endeavors to act in the best interest of the corporations shareholders in
nominating potential candidates for directorship. The directors will review the candidates
education, work experience, general business knowledge, community involvement, and overall
integrity prior to
5
nomination. Mr. Remaley and Mr. Snyder currently serve as elected members of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Sharkey serves as an appointed member of the Board of Directors. Upon evaluation
of their business knowledge and work ethics, the Board of Directors as a whole recommends the
election of Mr. Remaley, Mr. Snyder and Mr. Sharkey.
In the event that any of the nominees are unable to accept nomination or election, proxy holders
will vote proxies given pursuant to this solicitation in favor of other persons recommended by the
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of its nominees will
be unable to serve as a director if elected.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The corporations Board of Directors governs the corporation and its subsidiary. In fulfilling its
fiduciary duties, the Board of Directors endeavors to act in the best interests of the
corporations shareholders, customers, and the communities served by the corporation and its
subsidiary. To accomplish the corporations strategic goals and objectives, the Board of Directors
engages competent persons, who undertake to accomplish these objectives with integrity and with
cost-effectiveness. The board of directors fulfills part of its strategic mission through the
compensation of these individuals. The bank, the corporations wholly-owned financial subsidiary,
provides compensation to the corporations and the banks directors, officers, and employees.
The corporation seeks to offer competitive compensation opportunities for all employees based on
the individuals contribution and personal performance. The entire Board of Directors administers
the compensation program. The Board of Directors seeks to establish a fair compensation policy to
govern the executive officers base salaries and incentive plans to attract and motivate competent,
dedicated, and ambitious managers, whose efforts will enhance the corporations products and
services and will result in improved profitability, increased dividends to the shareholders, and
subsequent appreciation in the market value of the corporations shares.
General labor market conditions, the individuals specific responsibilities and the individuals
contributions to the corporations success influence total compensation opportunities available to
the corporations and the banks employees. The Board of Directors reviews individuals annually
and strives to offer compensation that is competitive with that offered by employers of comparable
size in our industry. Through these compensation policies, the corporation strives to meet its
strategic goals and objectives to its constituencies and provide compensation that is fair and
meaningful to its executive officers.
The primary element of executive compensation is base salary. The Board of Directors reviews and
annually approves the compensation of the corporations and the banks top executives, including
the chief executive officer/executive vice president and the chief operating officer. The Board of
Directors determines compensation increases based on its subjective analysis of the individuals
contribution to the corporations strategic goals and objectives. In determining whether the
strategic goals have been achieved; the Board of Directors considers numerous factors including the
following: the corporations performance as measured by earnings, revenues, return on assets,
return on equity, market share, total assets and non-performing loans. Although the Board of
Directors measures the performance and increases in compensation in light of these factors, no
direct correlation exists between any specific criteria and an employees compensation, nor does
the Board of Directors, in its analysis, attribute a particular weight to any specific criteria.
The Board of Directors makes a subjective determination after review of all relevant information,
including the above.
In addition to base salary, the banks executive officers may participate in annual and long-term
incentive plans including the banks Employee Profit Sharing and Retirement Trust Fund.
The Board of Directors does not deem Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC) to be
applicable to the corporation at this time. The Board of Directors intends to monitor the future
application of IRC Section 162(m) to the compensation paid to its executive officers; in the event
that this section becomes applicable, the Board of Directors intends to amend the corporations and
the banks compensation policies to preserve the deductibility of the compensation payable under
the policies.

contribute to the plan. The banks contributions to the 401(k) plan for each participant vest in 5
to 6 years from plan

enrollment. The employees contribution to the 401(k) plan vest immediately. The bank incurred
expenses of $58,000.00, $59,000.00 and $64,000.00 for financial reporting purposes during 2007,

they are associated were customers of and had banking transactions with Neffs Bancorp, Inc.s
subsidiary during 2007. All loans and loan commitments made to them and to their companies were
made in the ordinary course of bank business, on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions
with other customers of the bank, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectiblity or
present other unfavorable features. Total loans to these persons at December 31, 2007, amounted to
$3,157,000.00. Neffs Bancorp, Inc.s subsidiary bank anticipates that it will enter into similar

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of directors who meet NASDAQ standards
for independence. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of
Directors, which was reviewed and revised in 2003. A link to the Charter can be found on the
Banks website at www.neffsnatl.com.
The Audit Committee met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of
the corporations internal controls and the objectivity of its financial reporting. The Audit
Committee discussed these matters with the corporations independent auditors and with appropriate
corporation financial personnel and internal auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with the
corporations senior management and independent auditors the process used for certifications by the
corporations chief executive officer and chief financial officer which are required for certain of
the corporations filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Audit Committee met privately at its regular meetings with both the independent auditors and
the internal auditors, as well as with the principal financial officer on a number of occasions,
each of whom has unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee recommended Beard Miller Company LLP as the independent auditors for the
corporation after reviewing the firms performance and independence from management.
The Board of Directors has determined that John F. Sharkey, Jr., who is independent, is an audit
committee financial expert.
13
Management has primary responsibility for the corporations financial statements and the overall
reporting process, including the corporations system of internal controls.
The independent auditors audited the annual financial statements prepared by management, expressed
an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of the corporation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and discussed with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the
Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee reviewed with management and Beard Miller Company LLP, the corporations
independent auditors, the corporations audited financial statements and met separately with both
management and Beard Miller Company LLP to discuss and review those financial statements and
reports prior to issuance. Management has represented, and Beard Miller Company LLP has confirmed,
to the Audit Committee, that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The Audit Committee received from and discussed with Beard Miller Company LLP the written
disclosure and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees). These items relate to that firms independence from the
corporation. The Audit Committee also discussed with Beard Miller Company LLP matters required to
be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees) of
the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to the
extent applicable. The Audit committee implemented a procedure to monitor accountant independence,
reviewed audit and non-audit services performed by Beard Miller Company LLP and discussed with the
accountants their independence.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the
Board of Directors and the Board of Directors has approved that the audited financial statements be
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee and the Board of Directors have also
recommended, subject to shareholder ratification, the selection of Beard Miller Company LLP as
Neffs Bancorp, Inc.s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the auditor independence rules of the United Sates Securities
and Exchange Commission require all public accounting firms who audit issuers to obtain
pre-approval from their respective Audit Committee in order to provide professional services
without impairing independence. Beard Miller Company LLP previously issued engagement letters to
or obtained formal approval from the Audit Committee for certain services. These services are
summarized below.

filed late.
