Item 1. BUSINESS

 

Description of Business

Commercial National Financial Corporation (the corporation) is a Pennsylvania corporation and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and as a financial holding company under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB). The corporation is owner of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (the bank). The bank has been providing banking services since 1934. At the present time, two (2) banking offices are in operation in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, two (2) in Unity Township, Pennsylvania and one (1) each in Ligonier, West Newton, Greensburg, Murrysville and Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania. The Bank established an asset management/trust department in 1994 which is located in the building that houses the Greensburg banking office. All of these offices are within the boundaries of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In addition, the building that houses the bank's downtown Latrobe banking office is the location of th e corporation's and the bank's executive and administrative offices. The institution's operations center is located at the Latrobe Plaza in downtown Latrobe. This operations center also houses an in-house data processing system.

The bank plans to open a tenth banking office in May, 2002, which will be located within the Redstone Highlands retirement complex in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. The bank also entered into an agreement in March, 2002 to acquire a branch office of Great American Federal located in Norwin, Pennsylvania. That acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2002.

Each of the banking offices, except for downtown Latrobe and Greensburg, is equipped with 24 hour a day automatic teller machines. Bank ATM units are also located on the campuses of Saint Vincent College in Unity Township and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, the terminal of the Westmoreland County Airport in Unity Township, the reception lobby of the Latrobe Area Hospital in Latrobe, and an in-store machine in the Norvelt Open Pantry and the New Alexandria Qwik Mart. A separate freestanding drive-up teller staffed banking facility is attached to the Lincoln Road office in downtown Latrobe. This facility also provides ATM service.

The corporation's business activities involve holding the stock of the bank and of Commercial National Investment Corporation, which owns 50% of Commercial National Insurance Services. The other 50% is owned by Gooder Agency, Inc., of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Commercial National Insurance Services is an insurance agency which offers a full array of insurance products and services to consumer and commercial markets surrounding the Ligonier area.

 

The bank offers the full range of banking services normally associated with a general commercial banking business. Services include extending credit, providing deposit services, marketing non-deposit investments and offering financial counseling. The ATM system described above is a part of the MAC, Cirrus, Honor, Plus and Star networks, which provides the bank's customers access to an extensive regional and national network. The bank also has implemented a comprehensive electronic Online Banking system. By using a personal computer with internet access, customers can access their Commercial National Bank accounts, perform common banking tasks and pay bills 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Competition

 

Throughout the bank's service area, substantial competition exists both for deposit and loan products. The competitors range from major financial institutions, such as Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, National City Bank and PNC Bank, N.A., to several national and state banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, mortgage brokers and finance companies. Even though some portions of the thrift industry have experienced fairly extensive restructuring, the level of competitive activity in the bank's service area remains strong. Competition for certificates of deposit and money market deposits remains vigorous, with the representatives of insurance companies and securities brokers soliciting customers in the bank's market area. In addition, out-of-area institutions, including retailers continue to solicit business for credit cards, residential mortgages and automobile financing.

 

Supervision and Regulation

 

The corporation and the bank are subject to the supervision of the following regulatory bodies: The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The nature of the supervision extends to such areas as safety and soundness, truth-in-lending, truth-in-savings, rate restrictions, consumer protection, permissible loan and securities activities, merger and acquisition limitations, reserve requirements, dividend payments and regulations concerning activities by corporate officers and directors. The Federal Reserve Board monitors holding company activity while the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is the bank's primary banking regulator. No regulatory restrictions or actions are currently pending against the corporation or the bank.




 






GLB permits bank holding companies with subsidiary banks meeting certain capital and management requirements to elect to become "financial holding companies". Financial holding companies may engage in a full range of financial activities, including not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities determined to be "financial in nature". GLB also provides for expansion of the list of permissible activities as necessary for a financial holding company to keep abreast of competitive and technological change. The corporation was designated a financial holding company in March 2000 by the Federal Reserve Board.






 






Although it preserved the Federal Reserve Board as the umbrella supervisor of financial holding companies, GLB adopted an administrative approach to regulation that defers to the approval and supervisory requirements of the functional regulators of insurers and insurance agents, broker-dealers, investment companies, and banks. Thus, the various state and federal regulators of a financial holding company's operating subsidiaries would retain their jurisdiction and authority over the operating entities. As the umbrella supervisor, however, the Federal Reserve Board has the potential to affect the operations and activities of financial holding companies' subsidiaries through its power over the financial holding company. In addition, GLB contains numerous trigger points related to legal noncompliance and other serious problems affecting bank affiliates that could lead to direct Federal Reserve Board involvement and to the possible exercise of remedial authority affecting both financial holding companies and thei
r affiliated operating companies.






 








Significant Accounting Policies










 








Note 1 to the corporation's consolidated financial statements lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the corporation and its results of operations.



 


Effects of Governmental Policies

 

In addition to the regulatory requirements, the corporation and its subsidiary bank are affected by the national economy and the influence on that economy exerted by governmental bodies through monetary and fiscal policies and their efforts to implement such policies. In particular, the impact of the open market operations on interest rates, the establishment of reserve requirements and the setting of the discount rate will continue to affect business volumes and earnings. The exact nature or the full extent of this impact is almost impossible to predict; however, management continues to monitor these activities on a regular basis and seeks to modify its policies and procedures accordingly.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

As of December 31, 2001, the corporation, the bank and other subsidiaries of the corporation had a total of 123 full-time-equivalent employees.

The increase in non-accrual loans from 2000 to 2001 is due to the general economic slowdown as well as the corporation's implementation during 2001 of an enhanced loan assessment program. The assessment enhances the corporation's ability to identify loans which may be problems or which the borrower may be unable to repay under the terms of the original agreement. On December 31, 2001, $1,089,008 of the non-accrual loans were current with interest and principal payments recognized on a cash basis only.

 

At present no other outstanding loans present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower's ability to comply with the current loan repayment terms. As of December 31, 2001 the corporation had no other real estate owned and no in-substance foreclosures.

 

Effect of non-accrual loans on interest income during 2001 is as follows:

Management review and evaluation of loan loss experience and loan loss potential on outstanding loans occurs on a quarterly basis and is considered in conjunction with current economic conditions and the current requirements of the appropriate regulatory agencies. Due to the recent decline in the general economy and slowdown in lending experienced by the corporation, management expects loan loss trends to be consistent with the two most recent years.

 

As a result of this on-going study, management believes that the reserve amount shown for December 31, 2001 is adequate to offset the losses which may exist as a result of under collateralization or uncollectibility.

 

Management maintains an allowance for loan losses that it considers adequate based on the evaluation process that it performs on a quarterly basis. As part of this process, management considers it appropriate to maintain a portion of the allowance that is based on credit quality trends, loan volume, current economic trends and other uncertainties. This portion of the allowance for loan

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk




The corporation's interest rate risk management is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors. This committee establishes policies that monitor and coordinate the corporation's sources, uses and pricing of funds. The committee is also involved with management in the corporation's planning and budgeting process.






 






The corporation regularly reviews its exposure to changes in interest rates. Among the factors considered are changes in the mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, interest rate spreads and repricing periods. Typically, the committee reviews on at least a quarterly basis the bank's relative ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities and the related cumulative gap for different time periods. Additionally, the committee and management utilize a simulation model in assessing the corporation's interest rate sensitivity.






 






This simulation modeling process projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline net interest income resulting from changes in interest rate levels. The corporation utilizes the results of this model in evaluating its interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors. These factors include: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities, (2) the expected rates at which various rate sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, (3) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes that are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities, (4) expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts and (5) other factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to more accurately pr
oject the corporation's changes in net interest income resulting from an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates of up 100 basis points (bps), up 200 bps, down 100 bps and down 200 bps. While the corporation believes this model provides a useful projection of its interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions that may or may not be accurate. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates, competition and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the simulation model will reflect future results.






 






The following table presents the simulation model's projected impact of an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for a twelve-month period commencing January 1, 2002.

In the event of a shift in interest rates, management may take certain actions intended to mitigate the negative impact to net interest income or to maximize the positive impact to net interest income. These actions may include, but are not limited to, restructuring of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, seeking alternative funding sources or investment opportunities and modifying the pricing or terms of loans and deposits.



 

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

The corporation's consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the report of the independent certified public accountants are on pages 6 through 20 of the annual report to the shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

 


Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

 

On October 17, 2000, the corporation determined to discontinue its engagement of Stokes Kelly & Hinds, LLC, (SKH) as the independent auditors for the corporation and its subsidiaries. The reports of SKH on the financial statements of the corporation for the fiscal years ended 1998 and 1999 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to the uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change independent auditors was recommended by the audit committee of the board of directors of the corporation.

 

During the corporation's two fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, and 1999, and during the period from January 1, 2000 to October 17, 2000, there were no disagreements with SKH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SKH, would have caused them to make reference to the matter in their report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

 

 

 

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Commercial National Financial Corporation

and Subsidiaries

Latrobe, Pennsylvania

 

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our Commitment to Those We Serve

 

In detailing the elements of our mission, the significant components must be equally ranked regardless of their order of presentation since substantial progress can be achieved only as these elements interact harmoniously to advance the mission of the corporation.

 

Our mission is to acquire, organize and manage the resources required to offer personalized and professional financial services in a manner that demonstrates our concern for understanding and meeting the needs of the individuals, families, businesses and other organizations in our marketplace.

 

In fulfilling our mission, we give constant consideration to the well-being of our employees, not only in terms of economic benefit, but also by guaranteeing a working environment that .

 

- - encourages personal and profession development,

 

- - fosters individual dignity and

 

- - demands the highest ethical standards

 

. so that each employee can experience a sense of satisfaction in an personal identity with the accomplishments we achieve together.

 

Our responsibility to the communities we are privileged to serve requires our involvement as a corporation, as well as a commitment by our employees and directors, to respond to community development and improvement needs with a continual investment of both time and funds.

 

All of our activities are carefully planned and professionally conducted to provide our shareholders with a reasonable and regular profit so that their ongoing investment will constantly increase in value.

 


To Our Shareholders

 

 

 

For many of us, 2001 represented a year that was marked by new highs but was also a time of challenging lows. The highs experienced by your corporation are a reflection of the accomplishments that all those employed in our various business lines were able to achieve. We posted record earnings for the year and the fourth quarter of $4,904,923 and $1,494,850, respectively. These earnings were recorded during a year when the national and local economies had slowed from the frenzied speculation-driven pace of recent years.

 

We are only as good as the people who work here.

As an organization we are proud of our employees. They come to work each and every day with a goal of providing our customers with the best financial products and services. In addition to their work responsibilities, many serve as volunteers with a variety of service groups in order to make our communities a better place to live.

 

During 2001, your corporation continued to play its part as a community "citizen". Over $140,000 in donations and community sponsorships were granted to a variety of local service organizations involved in helping the residents of the communities we serve.

 

Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania's senior management staff was strengthened during 2001 with the addition of Gerard R. Kunic as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Gerry brings with him over 30 years of banking experience having served most recently as president and chief executive officer at another financial institution in the Pittsburgh area. Gerry is responsible for the retail, commercial and technology divisions of the bank.

 

The Chairman's Award is presented to those individuals who consistently perform above and beyond the expectations of their jobs. These exemplary employees are nominated by their supervisor and recognized at a meeting of the board of directors. In 2001, the following individual received the Chairman's Award for her special effort:

Helen Ferrenberg

Teller

Pleasant Unity Community Office

.was honored for her contributions to a bank sales campaign.

 

Our services continue to expand.

Commercial National Bank continued to provide employees with the enhanced technology needed to better serve its customers. In the first quarter of the year, platform automation was fully utilized in all nine community offices to provide more efficient identification and satisfaction of customer needs.

 

Customers continue to use the multiple service delivery avenues available to them. In addition to our local community offices, customers can access their accounts through an extensive ATM network including our newest unit at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. The bank's automated telephone banking system, TouchTone Teller, handles over 20,000 calls each month. The popularity of the Internet and its acceptance by our customers for banking with us was evidenced by the increase of Online Banking transactions during 2001.

 

In July 2001, Commercial National Bank received regulatory approval to open its tenth banking facility, which will be located within the Redstone Highlands retirement complex in Murrysville. This new office will allow residents and employees of the facility to conduct banking transactions on-site and is expected to open in May 2002.

 


The Asset Management and Trust Division continued to show solid growth in revenues and assets under management. Revenues earned during 2001 experienced double-digit growth while assets under management exceeded $115 million at year-end. The division provided a positive contribution to the bank's profitability in 2001.

 

Commercial National Insurance Services has completed its second full year of operation. The insurance agency is 50% owned by the corporation and finished 2001 with positive net income. The ability to offer both asset management and insurance services places the corporation in an excellent position to continue meeting a wide range of financial needs of its present and potential customers.

 

Financial performance remains strong.

Commercial National Financial Corporation continues to maintain a solid financial base characterized by substantial earnings and strong capitalization that gives your company the ability to move confidently into the future. The following information illustrates this observation.

 

Audited earnings for the year were $4,904,923 or $1.43 per share. This compares favorably to 2000's earnings and earnings per share of $4,631,512 and $1.32, respectively. The fourth quarter of the year produced record earnings of $1,494,850.

The competition for deposits coupled with the record eleven rate cuts by the Federal Reserve posed a challenge to maintaining and growing our deposit base. At year-end, total deposit volume amounted to $255 million in comparison to $267 million at the end of 2000.

 

The loan portfolio contracted from $208 million at the end of 2000 to $202 million at the end of 2001. Reduction in outstanding loans occurred in most loan categories and reflected an intentional effort to reconfigure our loan portfolio.

 

Interest income amounted to $24 million down from $26 million in 2000 as a result of declining loan balances and market rate decreases. Interest expense totaled $9.7 million for the year as compared to $11.7 million a year earlier. The contraction in deposits together with lower market rates reduced interest costs. As a result, the corporation's net interest income grew to $14.7 million.

The provision for loan losses decreased for the year. Efforts to recover the funds associated with the single major default experienced in 1999 continued.

 

Other operating income amounted to $2.6 millionup from $2.4 million in 2000. This improvement came from an increase in the fees generated by the asset management and trust division and from new diversified insurance investments with associated tax benefits.

 

Other operating expenses for 2001 rose to $10.2 million from $9.5 million a year earlier. Personnel and legal costs represented the majority of this increase.

 

The return on average assets increased from 1.32% in 2000 to 1.43% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The return on average equity for the year was 10.90% compared to 11.21% for 2000. The strong capital position of the corporation together with $2.2 million in after-tax net unrealized gains within the securities portfolio was responsible for the reduction in this ratio.

 


Total assets at year-end amounted to $343 million as compared to $330 million for 2000. This increase is primarily the result of an expansion of the corporation's bond portfolio.

 

The share price of Commercial National Financial Corporation stock (traded as CNAF on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.) strengthened by 24% to end the year at $18.12 from the 2000 year-end price of $14.63. This contrasted favorably with the performance of many other publicly traded firms during a year of tremendous volatility in the stock market.

Dividend payout to investors increased during 2001 by 11.8% to $0.76 up from $0.68 in 2000. The earnings stream to the corporation's shareholders from dividends remains one of management's most important responsibilities. Consistent payments are a tangible reward to the shareholder's on-going confidence in the corporation's board of directors and senior leadership.

In Conclusion.

Much has already been said about September 11 th in the media. The unspeakable events of that day affected all of us. Many knew of or worked with people who perished that day. Their

sacrifices and heroism must not and will not be forgotten.

 

The continued support that shareholders give to the corporation and its employees is greatly appreciated. We look forward to working on your behalf in the future.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

37391: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (the bank) and Commercial National Investment Corporation. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

The bank operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking services. The corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the bank is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The bank's primary business consists of taking deposits and granting loans to customers who generally do business in the area of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

 

The following summary of accounting and reporting policies is presented to aid the reader in obtaining a better understanding of the consolidated financial statements and related financial data of the corporation and its subsidiaries contained in this report. Such policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practice within the banking industry. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain items of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 2001 presentation. None of these reclassifications affected net income.

 

Securities:

Debt securities that the corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "securities held to maturity" and are reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities not classified as held to maturity securities are classified as "securities available for sale" and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Premiums and discounts are recognized as interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

 

Net gain or loss on the sale of securities is determined using the specific identification method.

 

 


COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

37689: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Loans:

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.

 

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

 

Loan fees:

Loan origination and commitment fees, net of associated direct costs, are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment to the related loan yield on the interest method, generally over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments.

 

Foreclosed real estate:

Foreclosed real estate is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and loans classified as in-substance foreclosure. A loan is classified as in-substance foreclosure when the bank has taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.

 

Foreclosed assets initially are recorded at fair value, net of estimated selling costs, at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses.

 

Allowance for loan losses:

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

 


COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Allowance for loan losses (continued):

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the corporation's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by eithe r the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

 

Premises and equipment:

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial statement reporting and income tax purposes, depreciation is computed both on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful life of the premises and equipment. Charges for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Amortization is charged over the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

 

Advertising costs:

The corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 was $149,000, $72,000 and $115,000, respectively.

 

 


COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income taxes:

Certain income and expense items are accounted for in different years for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided to recognize these temporary differences. The principal items involved are investment securities, employee benefit plans, provision for loan losses, net deferred loan fees and costs and depreciation. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is not proportionate to earnings before taxes, principally because a portion of revenues from obligations of states and political subdivisions are nontaxable.

 

Earnings per share:

Earnings per share have been calculated on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 3,432,389 in 2001, 3,511,603 in 2000 and 3,578,894 shares in 1999.

 

The corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.

 

Treasury stock:

The acquisition of treasury stock is recorded under the cost method. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock is reduced by the cost of such stock on the average cost basis, with any excess proceeds being credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the corporation has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption, "Cash and due from banks on demand".

 

Recently issued accounting standards:

In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations," and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

 

Statement No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as use of the pooling-of-interests method is prohibited. In addition, this statement requires that negative goodwill that exists after the basis of certain acquired assets is reduced to zero should be recognized as an extraordinary gain. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.

38619: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Recently issued accounting standards (continued):

Statement No. 142 prescribes that goodwill associated with a business combination and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually. The Statement requires intangibles that are separable from goodwill and that have a determinable useful life to be amortized over the determinable useful life. The provisions of this statement became effective for the corporation in January of 2002. Upon adoption of this statement, goodwill and other intangible assets arising from acquisitions completed before July 1, 2001 should be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this statement. At December 31, 2001, the corporation had no goodwill or intangible assets on its balance sheet.

 

In July of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This statement will become effective for the corporation on January 1, 2003.

 

In August of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions for the Disposal of a Segment of a Business." This statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." The provisions of this statement became effective for the corporation on January 1, 2002.

 

Adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the corporation's financial condition or results of operations.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS ON DEMAND

 

Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System impose uniform reserve requirements on all depository institutions with transaction accounts (checking accounts, NOW accounts, etc.) and non-personal time deposits (deposits with original maturities of 14 days or more). Reserves are maintained in the form of vault cash or a non-interest bearing balance held with the Federal Reserve Bank. The bank also maintains deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and other banks for various services such as check clearing. The average required reserve at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $3,571,000 and $3,370,000, respectively.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

 

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. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. The corporation does not issue any other instruments with significant off-balance-sheet risk.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)

 

The corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The following table identifies the contract or notional amount of those instruments :

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

53581: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Below are various estimated fair values of the corporation's financial instruments at December 31, 2001 and 2000, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (FAS 107). Such information is based on the requirements set forth in FAS 107 and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the corporation. It is the corporation's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity, except for certain securities designated as securities available for sale, and not to engage in trading activities. Many of the financial instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, the corporation had to use estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.

 

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management recognizes that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and the methodologies in absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the corporation in estimating financial instrument fair values:

 

Cash and short term investments :

The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.

 

Securities:

Fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

 

Loans receivable:

Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values. The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

Deposit liabilities:

For deposits which are payable on demand at the reporting date, representing all deposits other than time deposits, management estimated that the carrying value of such deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the report date. Fair values of fixed rate time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

 

Short-term borrowings:

The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

Accrued interest receivable and payable:

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Long-term borrowings:

Fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the corporation's estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Off-balance sheet instruments:

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

56173: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Some of the corporation's or the bank's directors, principal officers, principal stockholders and their related interests had transactions with the bank in the ordinary course of business during 2001. All loans and commitments to loans in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including collateral and interest rates, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions. In the opinion of management, these transactions do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. It is anticipated that further such extensions of credit will be made in the future. The aggregate amount of credit extended to these directors and principal officers was approximately $2,162,856 and $3,439,165 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

The following is an analysis of loans to those parties whose loan balances exceeded $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001:

56492: CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

 

The corporation and the bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the corporation and the bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weighting and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2001, that the corporation and the bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

56669: CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)

 

As of December 31, 2001, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There has been no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed those categories.

The amount of funds available to a parent from its subsidiary bank is limited for all national banks by restrictions imposed by the Comptroller of the Currency. Dividends from the bank were restricted not to exceed $2,451,000 at December 31, 2001. These restrictions have not had, and are not expected to have, a significant impact on the corporation's ability to meet its cash obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Commercial National Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries

Latrobe, Pennsylvania

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of Commercial National Financial Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated January 28, 2000, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The management of Commercial National Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania and Commercial National Investment Corporation, is responsible for the preparation, content and integrity of the financial statements contained in this annual report and all other information in the other sections of the annual report, including amounts that must necessarily be based on management's judgments and estimates. Managements believes that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis to reflect, in all material respects, the substance of events and transactions that should be included, and that the other information in the annual report is consistent with those financial statements, management depends upon the corporation's accounting system and related internal accounting controls. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management's authorization. This system is augmented by written policies and procedures and by examinations performed by our internal audit staff, which reports to the Board of Directors through the Board's Audit Committee.

 

The appointment of the independent auditors for the corporation and its subsidiaries is recommended by the Audit Committee, approved by the Board of Directors and ratified by the shareholders of the corporation. The Audit Committee, composed solely of outside directors, meets on a scheduled basis with the internal auditors and, as requested, with the independent auditors to discuss and review the scope and findings of their respective audits. The independent auditors and the internal auditors each have full access to the Audit Committee, without management present, to discuss internal accounting control, accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

Introduction

 

The purpose of this discussion and the accompanying financial data is to provide aid in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the corporation) for the years ending on December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years under review.

 

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Financial Condition

 

Total assets at December 31, 2001 increased $13,163,435 since the end of 2000. The increase was primarily in securities as the corporation was able to periodically invest in securities while yields were attractive due to inflation concerns associated with the aggressive easing caused by the economic slowdown. Other assets increased due to the funding of a Bank Owned Life Insurance program that commenced in the second quarter. Total loan volume decreased as the subsidiary bank experienced softer loan demand, associated with the weakening economy, and incorporated changes in its commercial lending culture, renewing its emphasis on credit quality and targeting specific segments of commercial lending to be its primary focus of business. The corporation expects that these factors will result in continued decreases in loan volume during 2002.

 

In the first quarter of the year, the corporation extended its interest-bearing liabilities as long-term borrowing costs declined in reaction to the decisions of the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy. During the second and third quarters, surplus funds were temporarily invested in federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh while gradually being re-deployed into higher yielding investment securities.

 

Average earning assets represented 93.85% of average total assets for the year compared to 96.00% for 2000. Average loans represented approximately 79.12% of average deposits for 2001 and 76.05% for 2000. Average loans as a percentage of total assets were 60.29% and 59.30% for December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

 

The decrease in deposits of $11,624,598 between December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 is attributed to lower market rates throughout the year along with the corporation becoming less aggressive in competing for more rate-sensitive funds through matching competitor certificate of deposit promotions.

 

Shareholders' equity was $45,970,297 on December 31, 2001 compared to $43,136,917 on December 31, 2000. Book value per common share increased to $13.42 or 7.62% from $12.47 at year-end 2000. Excluding the net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, book value per share would have been $12.79 at December 31, 2001 or an increase of 5.18% over the comparable book value at year-end 2000.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net income for 2001 was $4,904,923, reflecting an increase of $273,411 when compared to net income of $4,631,512 in 2000. The reasons for this increase were improved net interest income, a lower provision for loan losses and higher operating income all of which offset a 7% increase in operating expense. Earnings in 1999 of $3,203,605 were significantly impacted by a pre-tax charge of $2,619,706 due to the default of a single commercial loan relationship. The after-tax effect of the loss decreased earnings in 1999 by $1,729,006. Earnings per share were $1.43 in 2001 compared to earnings of $1.32 in 2000 and $0.90 in 1999.

 

Return on average assets was 1.43% in 2001, 1.32% in 2000 and 0.95% in 1999. For the same years, return on average equity was 10.90%, 11.21% and 7.50%, respectively. Return on average assets and return on average equity for 1999 were adversely affected by the previously described charge-off.

 

Net Interest Income

 

The largest segment of earnings is represented by net interest income, which is calculated by deducting the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities from the interest received on interest-earning assets. In 2001, net interest income was $14,683,040 compared to $14,350,887 in 2000 and $14,289,276 in 1999. The return on earning assets, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, equaled 7.84% in 2001 compared to 8.08% in 2000 and 7.94% in 1999. The cost-of-funds rate was 3.93% in 2001, 4.47% in 2000 and 4.00% in 1999. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.82% in 2001, 4.60% in 2000 and 4.82% in 1999. In 2001, the corporation was able to lower deposit and borrowing rates at a faster rate than the realized yield declines of loans and securities. In 2000, higher cost of funding in a rising rate environment coupled with the loss of ongoing interest income from the bank's sale of the credit card loan portfolio were the major contributing factors to a lower net interest margin.

 

 

Average earning assets decreased $13,886,525 in 2001 and grew $15,195,803 in 2000 and $18,875,552 in 1999. The corporation experienced overall loan contraction in 2001 due to weak demand and a change of focus in the commercial lending that will target specific business segments. Also contributing to the average earning asset decrease in 2001 was lower volumes in investment securities throughout the year because of the relative declines in market yields. In 2000, loan growth in the first half of the year offset the sale of the credit card portfolio and contributed heavily towards the increase in average earning assets over 1999.

 

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $14,755,501 in 2001 but rose $11,740,155 in 2000 and $13,088,953 in 1999. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2000 to 2001 was attributed to declines in the interest-bearing deposits as the corporation experienced outflows due to the lower rate environment. Funding needed to support loan growth in 2000 was primarily led by increases in long-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank and time deposits.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance against which actual loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by an analysis of the loan portfolio's size, quality and risk potential as compared to the size of the allowance itself. The amount of the provision was $540,350 in 2001, $1,176,000 in 2000 and $3,289,706 in 1999. For each of the same years the net charge-off against the allowance for loan losses was $462,200, $358,741 and $3,284,427, respectively. The lower 2001 provision was the result of enhancements to loan review and the allowance for loan loss adequacy study that were implemented in 2000. The provision in 2000 was much greater than net charge-offs due to the enhancements mentioned above. In 1999, the majority of the provision was due to the charge-off of a single commercial account relationship previously described.

 

On December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses equaled 1.39% of total loans compared to 1.32% at the end of 2000 and 0.94% at the end of 1999. In 2001, the allowance increased by approximately $75,000 over 2000 while total loans decreased by $5,600,000.

 

Loans that were past due 90 days or more, or were on non-accrual represented 1.32% of total loans on December 31, 2001, 0.39% on December 31, 2000 and 0.58% on December 31, 1999. The corporation's policy is to place a loan on non-accrual basis when it becomes 90 days past due provided that the loan is well collateralized and gives evidence of a reasonable likelihood for full collection. Also, a loan is placed on non-accrual in the event of a material decline in business activity that may affect the borrower's ability to repay the loan.


 

Other Operating Income and Expense

 

Total other operating income for 2001 of $2,631,872 increased by $266,954 from the $2,364,918 earned in 2000. The year was productive for the bank's Asset Management and Trust Division as the unit added new products and services, resulting in the addition of numerous clients. Those efforts generated asset management and trust income of $533,940, up from last year by $85,232. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $62,387 to $778,618. Other service charges and fees increased by $72,492 to $750,248. Net gains on sold investments amounted to $7,093.

 

In 2001, other income decreased by $651,950 to $561,973. Included in other income during 2000 was a premium of $822,875 received by the bank for the sale of its credit-card loan portfolio. In 1999, total other operating income was $1,985,220.

 

Contributing to the 2000 increase from 1999 were increases in trust department and other income which included the credit card premium described in the previous paragraph. In 2000, the credit card loan portfolio sale premium was utilized by the corporation to reposition the investment portfolio and offset a loss of $691,700 in sold securities to take advantage of higher yields that were available in the bond market.

 

Total other operating expense increased $681,314 to $10,170,337 for 2001 compared to $9,489,023 in 2000. Personnel expense, accounting for more than 50% of total non-interest expense, increased 7.62% or $389,292 in 2001. Annual salary and hospitalization increases along with incentive compensation payouts due to the bank reaching specified income and performance goals were the main contributors to the increase in personnel expense. Net occupancy expense increased by a modest $14,292. Pennsylvania shares tax increased $34,769 over 2000 while other operating expense increased $409,692. Increases in advertising, professional fees and automated teller expense were the primary reasons for the 16.26% rise in other operating expense. Furniture and equipment expense declined $166,731 as the bank's core operating software became fully depreciated in mid-2001.

 

Total other operating expense increased 2% in 2000 from $9,294,081 in 1999. Furniture and equipment accounted for the majority of the increase in total other operating expense. Personnel expense remained flat in 2000. This was attributed to savings realized by incentive compensation accrual reductions due to the bank not reaching specified goals required to trigger certain aspects of the incentive performance plan. All other operating expenses varied only slightly from 1999.

 

Income tax expense was $1,699,302 in 2001, $1,419,270 in 2000 and $487,104 in 1999. The effective tax rate was 25.73%, 23.46% and 13.20%, respectively. The reason for 1999's lower tax expense and effective tax rate was related to the write-off of loans held by one large commercial account.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity measurements attempt to evaluate the corporation's ability to meet the cash-flow needs of its depositors and borrowers. The primary source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the corporation's ability to sell both loans and available-for-sale securities. The bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding.

 

On December 31, 2001, total deposits were $11,624,598 less than on December 31, 2000. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $10,538,933 in 2001 while demand deposits decreased an additional $1,085,665. The decrease in total deposits was attributed to lower rates throughout the year caused by the declining economy and maturities of jumbo certificates of deposit that were not scheduled to reinvest with the bank.

 

The amortized cost of the corporation's securities portfolio was $116,124,304 on December 31, 2001. On that same date, the estimated market value of the entire securities portfolio was $119,396,065 which was higher than amortized cost by $3,271,761 and represented the net of $3,277,174 gross unrealized gains less $5,543 gross unrealized losses.

 

As of December 31, 2001, the corporation had available funding of approximately $142,000,000 at the FHLB with an additional $30,000,000 of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.

Interest Sensitivity

 

One of the desired goals of investment management is to achieve a balance between the need for consistent income growth and the risks inherent in achieving a portion of that income through managed maturity imbalances between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These relationships are generally so complex that exact measurement of the impact of interest rate changes is virtually impossible. However, an indication of an institution's vulnerability to such changes can be roughly gauged through the measurement and analysis of the so-called "gap" or the difference between the dollar volumes of assets and liabilities eligible for repricing within a variety of time periods. When the amount of the assets so defined is greater than the liabilities, the gap is labeled positive and the institution's interest rate spread will widen and earnings will respond favorably to a general rise in interest rates. The opposite relationship produces a negative gap and the interest rate spread will increase and earnings will show a favorable response in a declining rate environment.

Credit Review

 

Maintaining a high quality loan portfolio is of great importance to the corporation. The corporation manages the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio through the use of prudent lending policies and procedures and monitors risk through a periodic review process provided by internal auditors, regulatory authorities and our loan review staff. These reviews include the analysis of credit quality, diversification of industry, compliance to policies and procedures, and an analysis of current economic conditions.

 

In the management of its credit portfolio, the corporation emphasizes the importance of the collection of loans as well as asset and earnings diversification. The corporation immediately recognizes as a loss, all credits judged to be uncollectible and has established an allowance for loan losses that may exist in the loan portfolio at a point in time, but have not been specifically identified.

 

For analytical purposes, the following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses on December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 according to the categories indicated:

Capital Resources

 

Shareholders' equity increased $2,833,380 during 2001 and was $45,970,297 on December 31, 2001 compared to $43,136,917 on December 31, 2000. Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale on December 31, 2001 temporarily increased shareholders' equity by $2,159,362. The corporation's stock repurchase program reduced shareholders' equity in 2001 by $529,085.

 

The shareholders' equity or the capital base represents the investment by the corporation's owners either initially or through retention of earnings (net after income tax less dividend payments). This investment acts as a safeguard against future uncertainties. The amount of capital which is deemed appropriate is dependent upon an assessment of the corporation's total assets, the quality of its loans and securities, its historical earnings record, its business prospects for the near and long term, the management and information systems in place and the general competence and abilities of the corporation's management.

 

On December 31, 2001, the corporation's capital (not including the allowance for loan losses) amounted to $45,970,297 or 13.40% of total assets. The inclusion of the allowance increases the capital ratio to 14.22%. On the same basis of calculation, these ratios were 13.08% and 13.91% respectively on December 31, 2000.

 

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital adequacy standards are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These standards require that (1) at least 50% of total capital must be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items must be weighted according to risk; (3) the total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio must be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4% leverage ratio of Tier I Capital to average total assets must be maintained.

 

As of December 31, 2001, the corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted asset ratios of 22.36% and 23.61%, respectively. The leverage ratio was 12.70%. At December 31, 2000, the corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratios of 21.35% and 22.61%, respectively.

Inflation and Changing Prices

 

Inflation can have significance to a banking institution because of its implication for the interest rate environment and its influence on personnel expenses and the costs of supplies and materials needed for day to day operations. Because such a large portion of the corporation's assets and liabilities are represented by monetary investments, inflationary impact tends to be dampened except for the dislocation caused by maturity variances. Management efforts to gauge and control these variables have been discussed earlier under rate sensitivity. The inflationary effect on non-interest expenses is monitored closely by management and consistent attention is given to controlling these cost areas in an attempt to limit their increase to levels which are lower than the rate of asset growth.

 

Assessment of Future Environment

 

Management has not identified nor is aware of any internal matter or external condition, including potential regulatory recommendations, which could have a material impact on the corporation's ability to continue its present business activities or adversely impair future operating results.

 

Certain interest rate movements will continue to influence ongoing earnings levels. Even though the exact impact of these factors cannot be predicted, the corporation believes that given its financial strength and stability, it will be able to meet these situations in a positive manner.
