Part I

Item 1. BUSINESS

Description of Business
- -----------------------
The Commercial National Financial Corporation (the
corporation) was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on July 1, 1990 and is registered as
a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
as amended. The corporation is owner of 100% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of Commercial National Bank of
Westmoreland County. This subsidiary bank and its predecessor
have been providing banking services since 1934. At the present
time, two (2) banking offices are in operation in Latrobe, two(2)
in Unity Township and one (1) each in Ligonier, West Newton,
Greensburg, Murrysville and Hempfield Township. The Murrysville
office began operations in July of 1996. An asset
management/trust department was established in 1994 and 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
which houses the downtown Latrobe banking office is the location
of the 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. In November of 1997,
conversion of the former Plaza Hotel building officially became
our new corporate office center. The new center has eliminated
over-crowded work offices, organized work groups and provides space
for growth. Each of the banking offices, except for downtown
Latrobe and Greensburg, is equipped with twenty-four-hour-a-day
automatic teller machines and one (1) additional ATM unit each
is located on the campus of Saint Vincent College in Unity
Township, the terminal of the Westmoreland County Airport
in Unity Township and in the reception lobby of the Latrobe
Area Hospital in Latrobe. A separate freestanding drive-up teller
staffed banking facility is attached to our Lincoln Road office
in downtown Latrobe. This facility also provides ATM service.

The corporation's business activities involve holding the stock
of it subsidiary bank and an insurance partnership to market
insurance products and services.

The subsidiary bank offers the full range of banking services
normally associated with the general commercial banking business.
Services include extending credit, providing deposit services,
marketing non-deposit investments and offering financial
counseling. The ATM system described earlier is a part of the
MAC and Cirrus networks which permits the bank's customers access
to an extensive regional and national network. The bank also has
implemented a comprehensive electronic home-banking system.
This product provides our customers with the option of paying
bills through personal computer, screenphone, touchtone phone and
even rotary phone. During 1997, the Commercial National Check Card
was introduced. The card can be used by customers at ATMs and have
funds drawn electronically for purchases from merchants displaying
a Mastercard or MAC symbol.




In December of 1998, the corporation announced that a new
partnership would be formed with a local independent insurance
agency. The new insurance agency, located in Ligonier, will be
called Commercial National Insurance Services and will provide
a full line of products including commercial and personal property
and casualty insurance, life insurance, long term care, health
insurance and workers compensation. The partnership will be jointly
owned by Gooder & Mary, Inc. and Commercial National Investment
Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation.

Competition
- -----------
Throughout the subsidiary bank's service area, substantial
competition exists both for deposit and loan products. The
competitors range from branches of major Cleveland Ohio, Indiana,
Pittsburgh and Johnstown Pennsylvania based banks, several
independent banks headquartered in Westmoreland County, a
variety of thrift institutions and a number of credit unions.
Even though some portions of the thrift industry have experienced
fairly extensive restructuring, the level of competitive activity
in our 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 our 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
- --------------------------
As a result of the establishment of the holding company format,
the holding company and the subsidiary 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, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania Department of Banking 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 corporation's
primary banking regulator. No restrictions or actions are
currently pending against the corporation or the bank.

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.

doubt in regard to the borrower's ability to comply with the
current loan repayment terms. As of December 31, 1998 the
corporation had no other real estate owned and no in-substance
foreclosures.

Effect of non-accrual loans on interest income during 1998 is as
follows:

Gross amount of interest that would have
been recorded at original rates $ 3,280

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The table below provides an analysis of the allowancee for loan losses

Management review and evaluation of loan loss experience and loan loss
potential on outstanding loans occurs on a monthly basis and is
considered in conjunction with current economic conditions and
the current requirements of the appropriate regulatory agencies.

As a result of this on-going study, management believes that the
reserve amount shown for December 31, 1998 is adequate to offset
the expense which may exist as a result of under
collateralization or uncollectibility.

Item 2. Properties
----------
All of the corporation's banking and support facilities are owned
and free of liens and encumbrances with the exception of one (1)
banking office and an adjacent drive-up facility, both of which
are leased. All of the properties are used in their entirety for
banking purposes. In each case, the properties have been
maintained in good repair, are well suited for their present use
and appear to be adequate for the immediate needs of the
corporation and the bank. During 1997, existing corporate offices
expanded onto the third floor of the former Plaza Hotel property
which was immediately adjacent to and is now part the bank's
corporate headquarters. In 1998 the second floor was renovated
to house our credit services department. The first floor will be
finished at a later date as the demand for additional space
becomes apparent.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
Other than proceedings which occur in the normal conduct of
business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the
corporation or the subsidiaries is a party which will have any
material effect on the financial position of the corporation
and its subsidiaries.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
