COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2003

Note 1                            Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank), formerly known as Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania, and Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc., (CNIS). In December 2002, CNIS acquired The Gooder Agency Inc., (Gooder). Gooder is a full service provider of insurance products to individuals and businesses and acts as an agent for fifteen national, regional and mutual insurance companies. Gooder’s results of operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements. In July 2003, the Bank’s application to convert to a Pennsylvania state chartered bank was approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and the Bank changed its name to Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania. In October 2003, the Corporation’s application to form a trust company was approved. This subsidiary, Highview Trust Company (HTC), enables the Corporation to offer more investment products and the Corporation’s current trust operations will be transferred to HTC from the Bank. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  However, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2002, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of September 30, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2003. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2   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 management through an evaluation of the size and quality of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, concentrations of credit, recent loan loss trends, delinquencies and other risks inherent within the loan portfolio.Based upon the Corporation’s most recent quarterly evaluation, management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb any losses that may occur in the loan portfolio.

The Corporation recorded no provision for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003. By comparison, the Corporation charged to expense $298,030 for the nine month period ended a year ago. Net charge-offs amounted to $33,044 and $97,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The impact of the acquisition on the Corporation’s results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2003 was not material.

Note 6  New Accounting Standards

In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which nullifies EITF Issue 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).”  This statement delays recognition of these costs until liabilities are incurred, rather than at the date of commitment to the plan, and requires fair value measurement.  It does not impact the recognition of liabilities incurred in connection with a business combination or the disposal of long-lived assets.  The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.”  This Interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under certain specified guarantees.  FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying factor that is related to an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party, which would include financial and standby letters of credit. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this Interpretation, including, among others, guarantees related to commercial letters of credit and loan commitments.  The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee.  The accounting recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.


COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of noncompliance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank had $3,392,494 of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2003.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making conditional commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Of these letters of credit, $322,245 automatically renew within the next twelve months, $70,044 will expire within the next twelve months and $3,000,205 will expire within thirteen to one hundred and eighty months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments.  The Bank may require collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral and the enforcement of personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.  This statement clarifies the definition of a derivative and incorporates certain decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process.    This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified, and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003 and should be applied prospectively.  The provisions of the Statement that relate to implementation issues addressed by the Derivatives Implementation Group that have been effective should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates.  Adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”.  This interpretation provides new guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) and requires such entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among parties involved.  The interpretation also adds disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated VIEs.  The disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003.  The consolidation requirements apply immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February 1, 2003.  The adoption of this interpretation did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”  This Statement requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability.  Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity.  This Statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective beginning July 1, 2003.    The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the 2002 Annual Report). Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2002 Annual Report for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing these estimates, including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral (if collateral dependent), present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not the Corporation continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management and Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets decreased by $16.4 million, or 4.30%, from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003.  The decrease was due to a decline of $20.4 million in interest bearing deposits with other banks (IBDs) and a decline of $20.0 million in investment securities, which were partially offset by an increase of $20.7 million in loans outstanding. The remaining $3.3 million was related to modest increases in Cash and Due From Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Other Assets created by normal business activity. The decline in IBDs provided the necessary liquidity to fund the Corporation’s increase in loans and decrease in retail deposits. Total loan volume increased during the first nine months of 2003 due to the continued success of a residential mortgage loan promotion that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2002. The effect of this promotion resulted in a net increase of $13.8 million in residential mortgages for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Due to the steady rise mortgage rates from their recent all-time lows, management does not anticipate material growth in loan volume during the fourth quarter of 2003.

The Corporation’s total deposits decreased $12.7 million from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003.  This decrease is partly due to the Corporation’s reluctance to match its competitors’ aggressive pricing on money market deposits and certificates of deposit.  Also contributing to the decline in deposits during the first nine months of 2003 was the anticipated maturity and withdrawal of $8.0 million in public funds held by the Bank.



ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)

Shareholders' equity was $48.9 million on September 30, 2003 compared to $51.2 million on December 31, 2002. This 4.56% decrease is principally comprised of comprehensive income of $902,000 less cash dividends of $2.6 million and treasury stock purchases of $653,000. Comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 included net income of $3.1 million and an unrealized loss on securities available for sale of $2.2 million. Book value per common share decreased from $14.82 at December 31, 2002 to $14.23 at September 30, 2003. Excluding the net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, book value per share would have increased slightly from $13.41 at December 31, 2002 to $13.45 at September 30, 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Nine Months of 2003 as compared to the First Nine Months of 2002

Pre-tax income for the first nine months of 2003 was $3.9 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period of 2002, representing a 33.26% decrease. The decrease was the result of lower net interest income and higher net operating expense during the first nine months of 2003. Also adding to the disparity in pre-tax income, is a gain of $470,000 on the sale of the Bank’s Murrysville community office that is reflected in 2002’s financial performance.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $15.0 million, a decrease of 13.32% from interest income of $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The yield on the loan portfolio for the first nine months of 2003 decreased ninety-two (92) basis points to 6.33%. This decrease was due to the continued low rate environment which resulted in increased loan refinancing activity by existing customers and increased mortgage lending to new customers. The yield on the securities portfolio for the first nine months of 2003 decreased one hundred and three (103) basis points to 5.47%. This yield was negatively impacted by prepayments on mortgage-backed securities. These funds were reinvested into federal funds sold and other lower yielding assets at current market rates. As a result, the yield on total average earning assets for the first nine months of 2003 decreased one hundred (100) basis points to 5.93%. Average earning asset volume rose by $4.6 million, a 1.37% increase from the first nine months of 2002.

 

Interest expense for the first nine months of 2003 was $4.9 million, a decrease of 13.94% from interest expense of $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2002. Interest bearing liability costs declined as deposit balances decreased and deposit products continued to reprice at lower rates upon maturity. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2003 was 2.46%, a forty-six (46) basis points decrease from the same period in 2002. Average interest-bearing liabilities volume for the first nine months of 2003 rose by $5.8 million, which represented an increase of 2.22% from $261.5 million in the same period in 2002.

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2003 was $10.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 10.73% from net interest income for the same period in 2002.  Management anticipates that net interest income will stabilize in the fourth quarter due to the closing on the purchase of $40.0 million in securities during October and an additional $10.0 million of securities in November.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to a provision of $298,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Even though outstanding loans increased by over 12% from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003, there was no provision for loan losses due to sustained credit quality in the Bank’s commercial loan portfolio and higher concentrations in less credit risky residential real estate secured loans.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2003 was $3.0 million, an increase of $360,462, or 13.73%, from non-interest income for the first nine months of 2002. Excluding income of $470,000 from the sale of the Bank’s Murrysville community office in 2002, non-interest income would have increased $830,244 or 38.51%. Of this increase, $613,000 is attributable to the insurance conversion income generated by Gooder which the Corporation acquired at the end of 2002. Asset management and trust income for the first nine months of 2003 totaled $513,000, representing a 23.52% increase from the first nine months of 2002. Higher estate fees and income from third party management fees are the primary reasons for this increase. Service charges on deposit accounts for the first nine months of 2003 were $640,000 from the first nine months of 2002.  Other service charges and fees for the first nine months of 2003 were $458,000, a decrease of $89,000 from the first nine months of 2002.  This decrease is attributable to lower fees and commissions collected by the Bank from products and services. Income from investment in life insurance for the first nine months of 2003 was $420,000 on increase of $97,000 from the first nine months of 2002.


ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

This increase is the result of an additional $5.0 million investment in life insurance during the second quarter of 2002. Other income for the first nine months of 2003 was $266,000, an increase of $13,000 from the same period in 2002.  Included in other income for 2003 is a $55,000 benefit realized from a life insurance policy the Corporation had on a retired employee. This was offset by $50,000 in credit card merchant income that the Corporation recognized in 2002. The Bank discontinued its merchant program during the first quarter of 2002.

Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2003 reached $9.2 million, an increase of 13.09%, or $1.1 million from non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2002. Personnel costs rose by $321,000, or 7.52% from period to period, as the result of staff added in connection with the Gooder acquisition. Net occupancy costs increased $67,000 or 14.12% during the first nine months of 2003.  Pennsylvania shares tax expense was $373,000, an increase of 9.54% from the prior period. Other expense grew by 25.49%, representing a $653,000 increase.  Increased Professional fees and legal costs related to the conversion of the Bank to a state charter, the Bank’s name change and the formation of the trust company subsidiary combined with the amortization and additional costs associated with the acquisition and operation of Gooder, were the primary reasons for this increase.

Federal income tax for the first nine months of 2003 was $744,000 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2002. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 were 19.27% and 25.28%, respectively. The drop in the effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2003 is due to a combination of greater tax-free income in proportion to lower pretax income when compared to a year ago. Net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 27.89% from net income for the first nine months of 2002.  The annualized return on average assets was 1.12% for the first nine months of 2003 compared to 1.60% for the first nine months of 2002. The annualized return on average equity through September 30, 2003 was 8.40% compared to 12.04% through September 30, 2002.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 as Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

Pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2003 was $1.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period of 2002, representing a 53.97% decrease.  The decrease was due to the net effect of a decrease in net interest income for the third quarter of 2003 and the gain from the sale of the Bank’s Murrysville community office recorded in the third quarter of 2002.

Interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $4.7 million, a decrease of 19.93% from interest income of $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest income is the result of lower rates realized on loans and securities. For the third quarter of 2003 the yield on the loan portfolio decreased ninety-five (95) basis points to 6.12%, the yield on the securities portfolio decreased one hundred forty-four (144) basis points to 4.95%, and the yield on total average earning assets decreased one hundred fifteen (115) basis points to 5.61%.

Interest expense during the third quarter of 2003 was $1.6 million, a decrease of 21.61% from interest expense of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest expense was the result of lower deposit volume combined with lower interest rates being paid by the Bank on deposits during this low interest rate environment. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2003 was 2.37%, a fifty-one (51) basis points decrease from the third quarter of 2002.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $644,000 or 17.01%, from net interest income for the third quarter of 2002.  Net interest income yielded 3.43% of average total assets compared to 4.08% during the same period a year ago.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2003 while $96,000 was charged to expense in the third quarter of 2002.  There was no provision for loan loss for the same reasons cited above for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.



ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2003 was $982,000 a decrease of $257,000 or 20.73% from the third quarter of 2002.  Excluding the $470,000 gain from the sale of the Bank’s Murrysville community office in the third quarter of 2002, non-interest income would have increased $213,000, or 27.70%. Asset management and trust income increased $17,801 in the third quarter of 2003 due to additional managed revenue accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts in the third quarter of 2003 were $237,000, an increase of $50,000 or 26.42%. This increase is principally the result of the implementation of the Bank’s overdraft privilege program during the second quarter of 2003. Other service charges and fees declined by 14.94% in the third quarter of 2003 due to a lower volume of fees and commissions collected for products and services provided to the Bank’s customers. Insurance conversion income from Gooder in the third quarter of 2003 was $204,000, a $158,000 increase from insurance conversion income in the third quarter of 2002.  Other income was $129,000, an increase of $36,000 or 38.34% from the prior year. This increase is related to a $55,000 benefit from a life insurance policy the Corporation had on a retired employee.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2003 was $3.1 million, an increase of $291,000 or 10.33%, from the same period in 2002. Personnel costs rose by $177,000 to $1.6 million due to additional staffing associated with the Gooder acquisition. Pennsylvania shares tax expense rose $11,000, an increase of 9.50% from the same period in 2002. Other expense increased $103,000 during the third quarter of 2003, an 11.29% increase from the same period in 2002. Increases in legal and professional fees combined with operating expenses associated with Gooder and the amortization of intangibles related to the Bank branch and Gooder acquisitions in 2002 contributed to this increase.

Federal income tax for the third quarter of 2003 was $146,000 compared to $478,000 for the third quarter of 2002. The effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2003 and 2002 were 14.41% and 21.64%, respectively. The decrease in rate from period to period is due to higher tax-free income in relation to lower pretax income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Net income for the third quarter of 2003 was $870,000, a decline of $860,000, or 49.72%, from net income of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2002.  The annualized return on average assets was .95% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 1.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The annualized return on average equity for the third quarter of 2003 was 7.19% compared to 14.02% for the third quarter of 2002.

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. Part of the decline in deposits from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 can be attributed to a single customer relationship. This relationship had large balances in various deposit accounts that were designated for future operational expenditures.  Other deposit declines are due, in part, to a pricing structure that was less aggressive than our competitors. Management has since adopted a new rate pricing structure on deposits that should position the Corporation for future deposit growth. Additional liquidity can be provided by the sale of investment securities that amounted to approximately $125,000,000 with net unrealized gains of $4,039,926 on September 30, 2003.  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. As of September 30, 2003, the Corporation had available funding of $135,722,000 at the FHLB. Additional short-term funding is available to the Corporation through federal funds lines of credit that are established with correspondent banks.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2003 were $267.3 million, an increase of $5.8 million from the same period in 2002. This increase was due principally to the Corporation’s acquisition of $20 million in fixed rate advances, during the third quarter of 2002, reflected for the full nine months of 2003 and only a portion of the first nine months of 2002.

During the third quarter of 2003, the Bank committed to purchase at discount $50 million of to-be-announced Government National Mortgage Association pass-thru securities. The Bank closed on the purchase of $40 million of this amount during October 2003.  The Bank is scheduled to purchase the remaining $10 million in November 2003. To fund the purchases, the Corporation used federal funds sold and made short-term borrowings from the FHLB. Management anticipates repaying these amounts borrowed with cashflow from securities and loan payments and deposit growth.




ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

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, if any, which the Corporation obtains from the Customer upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer or other obligor.  The types of collateral obtained by the Corporation 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.

As previously mentioned, the Corporation has commitments to purchase when-issued securities that are scheduled to mature after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table identifies the Corporation’s commitments to extend credit, obligations under letters of credit and commitments to purchase when-issued securities as of September 30, 2003.

INTEREST SENSITIVITY

Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between consistent income growth and the risk that is created by variations in the ability to reprice deposit and investment categories. The effort to determine the effect of potential interest rate changes normally involves measuring the "gap" between assets (loans and securities) subject to rate fluctuation and liabilities (interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings) 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 and long-term borrowings 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 without penalty and therefore are presented as beginning to reprice over a variety of time periods.

The cumulative gap at the one-year repricing period was positive in the amount of $42.6 million or 12.85% of total earning assets at September 30, 2003. This position is less asset-sensitive than the $71.6 million, or 20.48% position at December 31, 2002. The change in our current position from year-end is due to smaller volume in overnight deposits and slower prepayments in Mortgage-backed Securities. An asset or liability is considered to be sensitive if its cashflow characteristics or the interest yield it earns or pays is set to change within a certain time period. When the amount of interest-sensitive assets is greater than the interest-sensitive 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 respond favorably to a general decline in interest rates. Although the gap analysis provides management with a method of measuring current interest rate risk, it only measures rate sensitivity at a specific point in time, and as a result may not accurately predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates or net interest income.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of September 30, 2003 with that as of September 30, 2002. 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. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income. Non-accrual loans remain high due to the general economic slowdown and the Corporation’s implementation of an enhanced loan assessment program. The assessment program 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. The Corporation’s credit quality continues to improve due to a concentrated effort targeting real estate secured loans in the residential and commercial sectors. On September 30, 2003, $867,000, or 38.09% of the non-accrual loans were current with payments recognized on a cash basis only. In November 2003, the Corporation foreclosed on a commercial real-estate property. This property, a nine-hole golf course, has a carrying value of $805,000 and is included in the non-performing loans as of September 30, 2003.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital 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 8.00%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets be maintained for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including asset quality, high liquidity, low interest-rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating.  As of September 30, 2003, the Corporation, under these guidelines, had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 22.84% and 24.09% respectively. The leverage ratio was 12.34%. The capital ratios of the Bank are not materially different than the ratios of the Corporation.

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 yield and cost levels along with repricing of 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 minimal changes in net interest income as interest rates change.

Under the protracted low interest rate environment in which we are operating, management expects net interest income and net income to remain pressured due to ongoing yield decreases in interest earning assets in conjunction with more limited decreases in interest bearing liability costs. The effect of the $50.0 million in securities purchased will provide the Corporation with some short-term net interest income relief. Management is aware that these securities, as with all interest-earning assets, will encounter extension risk in a rising rate environment and prepayment risk in a declining rate environment.

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 and interest-bearing liabilities accepted.
