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 and Commercial National Investment Corporation.

Note 3  Branch Office Acquisition

On June 29, 2002, the Corporation’s principal subsidiary, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (the “Bank”), pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Great American Federal (“GAF”), acquired the deposit liabilities, equipment and loans outstanding of GAF’s branch office in Norwin, Pennsylvania (the “Norwin Branch”).  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. In the transaction, the Bank assumed deposit liabilities of $11,513,514 and acquired loans and equipment of $8,055,588.

The Bank also assumed GAF’s lease for the Norwin Branch with the landlord of Norwin Hills Shopping Center.

The premium paid to acquire the Norwin Branch amounted to $906,540 and was allocated to a core deposit intangible.


Note 4  Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income was $1,453,986 and $774,303 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive income was $1,750,225 and $(274,571). The difference between comprehensive income and net income presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity is attributed solely to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities during the periods presented.

Note 5  New Accounting Standards

In July of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 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.  Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.


ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

The Corporation’s total assets at June 30, 2002 increased by $33,615,973 from the end of 2001. The increase was due to the purchase of $30,000,000 in investment securities that settled in March and the Bank’s acquisition of the Norwin Branch from GAF that closed in June. Total loan volume decreased at the Bank due to a combination of events, including soft loan demand and more stringent loan underwriting in the commercial sector following underwriting enhancements the Corporation implemented during the second half of 2001. Other assets increased due to the purchase of an additional Bank Owned Life Insurance program to aid in the retention of covered employees.

Average earning assets represented 92.98% of average total assets for the first six months of 2002 compared to 94.65% for the same period of 2001. Average loans represented approximately 93.03% of average interest bearing deposits in the first six months of 2002 and 94.89% for the comparable period in 2001. Average loans as a percentage of assets were 55.30% and 61.14% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Deposits increased by $15,300,692 from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Of such increase, $11,513,514 was related to the Norwin Branch acquisition and the remaining $3,787,178 was primarily due to the inflow of cash from depositors who were liquidating their investments in stocks and mutual funds.

During the second quarter of 2002, the Corporation extended its interest-bearing liability structure as long-term borrowing costs continued to decline from the already weakened economy and stock market.

Shareholders' equity was $48,304,005 on June 30, 2002 compared to $45,970,297 on December 31, 2001. Book value per common share increased to $14.10 at June 30, 2002 from $13.42 at year-end 2001. Excluding the net unrealized gains on securities available for sale, book value per share would have been $13.04 at June 30, 2002, an increase of 1.95% over the comparable book value at year-end 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2002 as compared to the First Six Months of 2001

The Corporation’s pre-tax net income for the first six months of 2002 was $3,577,770, compared to $3,426,387 for the same period of 2001, representing a 4.42% increase.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $11,482,416, a decrease of 7.07% from interest income of $12,356,549 for the same period in 2001. This decrease was due to the Federal Reserve Board’s 450 basis point reduction in interest rates during 2001, which led to significant loan run-off and refinancing in the commercial and mortgage sectors as overall interest rates declined. A portion of the decrease was also due to the Bank exiting certain commercial loan product lines of business. During the first six months of 2002, the Corporation’s loan return rate decreased ninety-five (95) basis points to 7.34% and the securities return rate decreased by thirteen (13) basis points to 6.57%. The return rate on total average earning assets decreased to 7.03% for the first six months of 2002 from 7.73% for the first six months of 2001.  Average earning asset volume rose by $6,968,590 during the first six months of 2002, representing a 2.18% increase over the same period in 2001.


Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3,734,823, a decrease of $1,374,769, or 26.91% from interest expense during the same period in 2001. This sharp decrease was the result of lower interest bearing deposit rates enacted by the Bank during this historically low interest rate environment. The cost rate on average interest-bearing liabilities was 3.52% during the first six months of 2002, a decrease of sixty-six (66) basis points from a year ago.  Average interest-bearing liability volume rose by $9,224,742, an increase of 3.77%. This volume increase was mainly due to long-term borrowings of $20,000,000 added by the Bank during 2002 to take advantage of these historically low interest rates.

Net interest income rose slightly during the first six months of 2002 to $7,747,593 and represented 4.30% of average total assets compared to 4.29% during the first six months of 2001.

The Corporation’s average allowance for loan losses increased 8.57% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 to $2,791,633. By comparison, total average loans decreased by 5.93% during the same period. There was a $202,030 provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2002 compared to no provision allocated for the first six months of 2001. The allowance has continued to grow, in part, because of a decline in the updated appraisal values of specifically identified commercial mortgage loans. Hence, the decline in market value was accounted for with an increase to the allowance for loan losses.

Net interest income after the application of the provision for loan losses increased 4.12% to $7,545,563 during the six months ended June 30, 2002, representing a 4.30% return on total average assets compared to 4.29% for the first six months of 2001.

Non-interest income increased 8.74% to $1,359,556 during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Asset management and trust fees decreased 4.68% to $271,018. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased 4.84% to $354,328. Other service charges and fees rose 2.72% reaching $396,497. Other income increased 59.02% to $337,713. This increase is the result of a full six months income received in 2002 compared to one month of income received in 2001 from a bank owned life insurance policy purchased in June 2001.

Non-interest expense totaled $5,327,349 during the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 5.06%, or $256,535 over the same period in 2001, while total average assets increased 4.02%. Personnel costs rose only 1.38%, a $38,458 increase. Net occupancy expense declined by 2.95%, or $9,247. Furniture and equipment expense also declined 3.02%, representing a cost decrease of $10,917. Pennsylvania shares tax expense was $224,795, an increase of 9.42%. Other expense rose 15.61%, which equated to a $218,887 increase. Material increases in legal and professional fees along with moderate increases in other various accounts were the reasons for the rise in this category.

Federal income tax was $985,000 for the first six months of 2002, compared to $963,100 a year ago. Net income after taxes increased $129,483 to $2,592,770, an increase of 5.26%. The annualized return on average assets was 1.48% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 1.46% for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The annualized return on average equity through June 30, 2002 was 11.00% and had been 11.16% through the first six months of 2001.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

The Corporation’s pre-tax net income for the second quarter of 2002 decreased 3.84% to $1,647,191 from $1,712,920 for the same period of 2001.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $5,700,828, a decrease of 7.96% from interest income of $6,193,997 for the second quarter of 2001. The decrease in interest income is the result of lower loan volumes and the


income associated with these lower volumes. The loan return rate decreased one hundred and four (104) basis points to 7.18%, the securities return rate decreased sixteen (16) basis points to 6.36% and the return rate on total average earning assets decreased seventy-six (76) basis points to 6.83%. Total average earning assets increased $7,703,061, or 2.36%.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2002 was $1,932,992, a decrease of 25.68% from interest expense of $2,600,945 for the second quarter of 2001. The average interest-bearing liabilities rose by $10,746,049. Even with the increase in interest-bearing liabilities, the decrease in interest expense ws the result of lower interest bearing deposit rates enacted by the Bank during this historically low interest rate environment. The cost rate decreased to 2.89%, a one hundred and twenty-five (125) basis point decrease from a year ago.

Net interest income rose 4.86% to $3,767,836 during the second quarter of 2002 and represented 4.18% of average total assets compared to 4.16% during the same period a year ago.

The average allowance for loan losses increased 7.44% during the second quarter of 2002 to $2,799,738, while total average loans declined by $16,456,419 or 7.99%. The decline in loans was anticipated given the new internal lending guidelines that were established and implemented since the fourth quarter of 2001. With these new guidelines, loan runoff has been experienced because of the Bank’s reluctance to lower rates on existing loans that were not suitable for a more favorable rate. There was a $162,816 provision for loan losses allocated for the second quarter of 2002 while no provision was added to the loan loss allowance in the second quarter of 2001 as the allowance was deemed adequate to cover all anticipated charge-offs.

Net interest income after the application of the provision for loan losses rose .33% to $3,605,020 during the second quarter of 2002 representing a 4.00% return on total average assets compared to 4.16% for the second quarter of 2001.

Non-interest income increased $6,453 or 0.97%, to $672,094 during the second quarter of 2002. Asset management and trust income increased 5.45% to $144,941. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased 9.06% to $171,370. Other service charges and fees remained steady at $175,505. Other income increased 24.85% to $180,278.

Non-interest expense rose $84,150 during the second quarter of 2002, a 3.31% increase from the same period in 2001. Personnel costs declined slightly by $2,013 to $1,371,693. Net occupancy expense rose $5,907, a 4.11% increase. Furniture and equipment expense declined $6,909, a 3.68% decrease. Pennsylvania shares tax expense rose $10,228, an increase of 9.69%.

Other expense rose $76,937 during the second quarter of 2002, a 10.47% increase from the same period in 2001. Increases in legal and professional fees and automated teller machine expense are the primary reasons for the rise in this category.

Federal income tax on total second quarter of 2002 earnings was $449,300 compared to $485,500 a year ago. Net income after taxes declined $29,529 to $1,197,891, equating to a 2.41% decrease. The annualized return on average assets was 1.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 1.42% for the second quarter of 2001. The annualized return on average equity for the second quarter of 2002 was 10.09% compared to 11.05% for the second quarter of 2001.


LIQUIDITY

Liquidity, the measure of the Corporation's ability to meet the normal cash flow needs of depositors and borrowers in an efficient manner, is generated

primarily from the acquisition of deposit funds and the maturity of loans and securities. Additional liquidity can be provided by the sale of debt investment securities available for sale. The Corporation held $129,380,119 of such securities on June 30, 2002. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system. The FHLB provides an additional source of liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional short-term funding is available through federal funds lines of credit that are established with correspondent banks.

Investments maturing within one year were 2.01% of total assets on June 30, 2002 and 1.74% on June 30, 2001.

On June 30, 2002, average loans were $12,237,865 less than on June 30, 2001 while the average securities portfolio, including federal funds sold, increased $19,206,455 during that same period.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY

Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between consistent income growth and the risk that is created by variations in ability to reprice deposit and investment categories.  The effort to determine the effect of potential interest rate changes normally involves measuring the so called "gap" between assets (loans and securities) subject to rate fluctuation and liabilities (interest bearing deposits) subject to rate fluctuation as related to earning assets over different time periods and calculating the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing periods for the loans, securities, interest bearing deposits, non-interest bearing assets and non-interest bearing liabilities are based on contractual maturities, where applicable, as well as the Corporation's historical experience regarding the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment and withdrawal patterns of certain assets and liabilities.  Regular savings, NOW and other similar interest-bearing demand deposit accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal and therefore are presented as beginning to reprice in the earliest period presented in the "gap" table.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan performance as of June 30, 2002 with that as of June 30, 2001. Non-accrual loans are those for which interest income is recorded only when received and past due loans are those which are contractually past due 90 days or more in respect to interest or principal payments. The increase in non-accrual loans is due to the general economic slowdown and the Corporation’s implementation 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 pay under the terms of the original agreement. As of June 30, 2002, $712,340 of the non-accrual loans were current with payments recognized on a cash basis only. As of June 30, 2002 the Corporation had other real estate owned of $154,499.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity for the first six months of 2002 averaged $47,133,116, which represents an increase of $3,006,705 over the average shareholders’ equity of $44,126,411 recorded in the same period of 2001. These capital levels represented a capital ratio of 12.51% in 2002 and 13.06% in 2001. When the loan loss allowance is included, the 2002 capital ratio becomes 13.29%.

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital adequacy guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk.  These guidelines require that:  (1) at least 50% of a banking organization's total capital be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items must be weighted according to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets must be maintained.  The minimum leverage ratio is to be 4-5 percent for all but the most highly rated banks, as determined by a regulatory rating system.  As of June 30, 2002, the Corporation, under these guidelines, had a Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratio of 22.39% and 23.64% respectively, and had a leverage ratio of 12.33%.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability management refers to management’s efforts to minimize fluctuations in net interest income caused by interest rate changes. This is accomplished by managing the repricing of interest rate sensitive interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Controlling the maturity or repricing of an institution’s liabilities and assets in order to minimize interest rate risk is commonly referred to as gap management. Close matching of the repricing of assets and liabilities will normally result in changes in net interest income as interest rates change.

Management regularly monitors the interest sensitivity position and considers this position in its decisions with regard to the Corporation’s interest rates and maturities for interest-earning assets acquired and interest-bearing liabilities accepted.
