NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information, which would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of the results of the period. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

There were no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income will be used as the numerator. The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.

                                 
    Three Months   Three Months   Six Months   Six Months
    Ended   Ended   Ended   Ended
    June 30, 2004
  June 30, 2003
  June 30, 2004
  June 30, 2003
Weighted–average common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share
    2,733,858       2,739,196       2,732,755       2,756,919  
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share
          2,893             2,353  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
 
Weighted-average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share
    2,733,858       2,742,089       2,732,755       2,759,272  
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
 

Options to purchase 30,950 shares of common stock at prices from $18.50 to $19.30 were outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2003, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. No options were included in the June 30, 2004 calculation due to the net loss, which would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

NOTE 3 – RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS

Certain comparative amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 4 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised FAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit. This statement retains the disclosures required by FAS No. 132, which standardized the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable and requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Additional disclosures include information describing the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date(s), plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. This statement retains reduced disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities from FAS No. 132, and it includes reduced disclosure for certain of the new requirements. This statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s disclosure requirements. The Company has adopted the revised disclosure provisions.

Table of Contents

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which established standards for identifying a variable interest entity (VIE) and for determining under what circumstances a VIE should be consolidated with its primary beneficiary. Application of this Interpretation is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all other types of VIEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Small business issuers must apply this Interpretation to all other types of VIEs at the end of the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this interpretation has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 5 – PRO FORMA STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the Company’s option plans have no intrinsic value at grant date. Accordingly, under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost is recognized.

The Company has elected to continue with the accounting prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share and other disclosures as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the option. The following table presents the effect on reported net income and net income per share of accounting for employee stock options under the fair value method ($ in thousands except per share amounts):

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Total Interest Income - Total interest income was $3,843,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to $4,392,000 for the same three-month period in 2003, a decrease of $549,000 or 12.5%. The overall decrease in total interest income is attributed principally to a decrease in interest and fees on loans of $651,000 or 17.6%. This was partially offset by an increase in taxable interest income from investments of $132,000. Income from interest and fees on loans decreased due to decreases in both volume and yields within the loan portfolio.

Average gross loans, including loans available for sale, at June 30, 2004 were $202.7 million, a decrease of $25.0 million or 11.0% from $227.8 million at June 30, 2003. Virtually all major segments within the loan portfolio reflected net declines in average balances compared to June 30, 2003. The most significant declines occurred within the home equity and consumer loan segments. Average home equity loans decreased $9.2 million or 21.0% while average consumer loans decreased $6.4 million or 44.1%. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in average commercial real estate loans of $7.0 million or 9.9%. The decline within the average loan portfolio was brought about by general market activity resulting primarily from the low interest rate environment which caused high levels of prepayment within all loan types. Over the past year, the Company has experienced a record number of refinancings. Many customers chose to refinance or consolidate their home equity loans into fixed rate 1-4 family loans with a first lien position, which the Company, in accordance with its interest rate risk policy, generally sells to Freddie Mac. This is the primary cause for the decline in the home equity loans.

Interest and fees on loans also decreased due to a decline in the net yield on interest earning assets. This decline was a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s actions of decreasing interest rates throughout 2001, 2002 and 2003 which triggered downward repricings of variable rate loans and an increased level of refinancings. The tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets fell from 5.90% for the six months June 30, 2003 to 5.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Yields on interest-earning assets have been computed on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal income tax statutory rate of 34%. The net yield on interest earning assets also decreased due to a shift in the earning asset composition. Average investments and overnight funds, which generally have a lower yield than loans, as a percent of average earning assets at June 30, 2004 were 32.5% compared to 27.2% at June 30, 2003.

In June and August of 2004, the Federal Reserve Board’s Open Market Committee twice raised its target for the federal funds rate by one-quarter of a percentage point, to its current level of 1.50 percent. The prime rate will rise to 4.50 percent. These are the first Federal Reserve Board rate increases since May 2000, which come after 13 consecutive rate cuts that reduced the federal funds rate from 6.5 percent at the end of 2000 to 1 percent in June 2003. If rates continue to rise as expected and to the extent interest-bearing liabilities reprice faster than interest-earning assets, the increased rates could have an adverse impact on the Company’s net interest income. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.”

Taxable investment interest income increased due to an increase in volume within the investment portfolio. Average total investments were $97.9 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $12.7 million from $85.2 million at June 30, 2003. Average U.S. government agency securities represented the largest increase within the taxable investment securities of $10.6 million. As the interest rate on overnight funds decreased throughout 2002 and 2003, management felt it prudent to invest in higher yielding, short-term duration, U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Due to the low rate environment and the high level of mortgage refinancings, average mortgage-backed securities declined by $1.4 million from June 30, 2003.

Total Interest Expense - Total interest expense was $1,379,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 representing a decrease of $235,000 from the $1,614,000 reported for the same three-month period in 2003. The change was comprised primarily of a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $234,000, resulting from both a decline in the Bank’s cost of funds and a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits. The Bank’s cost of deposits decreased from 2.27% at June 30, 2003 to 1.81% at June 30, 2004. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $5.5 million from 2003. Due to the low interest rate environment, the Bank continued to see a shift in consumer preference within interest bearing deposits from time deposits with fixed maturities to more liquid products such as money market accounts and interest-bearing demand deposits. Average time deposits decreased $12.6 million from June 30, 2003, while the average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $5.4 million or 16.1% and average money market accounts increased $4.7 million.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income was $2,464,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,778,000 for the same three-month period in 2003, a decrease of $314,000.

Provision for Loan Losses - The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.5 million compared to $150,000 for the same period in 2003. As a result of its recurring quarterly analysis of loan loss reserve adequacy, management determined that an increase in the provision was required. For details of the analysis and methodology, see “Risk Elements”.

Total Other Income - Total other income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 was $705,000 compared to $1,524,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $819,000. This decrease was primarily the result of decreases in net gains on loan sales of $654,000 and net gains on the sale of investment securities of $203,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income of $76,000.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2004, gains of $11,000 were recorded on the sale of $869,000 of fixed rate, 1-4 family residential mortgages to Freddie Mac. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, $16.4 million of fixed rated, 1-4 family residential mortgages were sold resulting in a net gain of $665,000. The Company also sold investment securities in the second quarter of 2003 totaling $12.2 million which resulted in gains of $203,000. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company also purchased BOLI totaling $6.0 million which caused the increase in bank-owned life insurance income.

Total Other Expense - Total other expense of $3,000,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,612,000 for the same three-month period in 2003. This represented an increase of $388,000 or 14.9%. The increase was primarily derived from an increase in professional fees of $278,000, followed by increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of $46,000. The increase in professional fees was due to merger related expenses and is expected to continue to increase for the next two quarters or until the consummation of the proposed merger with F.N.B. Corporation. The increases in salaries and employee benefits resulted principally from additional personnel as well as an increase in the cost of employee benefits. Additional personnel were needed due to the centralization of loan functions and the expansion of the credit administration department. Additional senior management positions were also created to supervise these areas.

Net Loss - The net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 was $1,446,000, a decrease of $2,513,000 from net income of $1,067,000 reported at June 30, 2003. Earnings (loss) per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 were $(0.53), a decrease of $0.92 from $0.39 per share earned during the same three-month period in 2003.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Total Interest Income - Total interest income was $7,790,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 compared to $9,042,000 for the same six month period in 2003, a decrease of $1,252,000 or 13.8%. The overall decrease in total interest income is attributed principally to a decrease in interest and fees on loans of $1,370,000 or 18.1%. Income from interest and fees on loans decreased due to a decrease in yields and volume within the loan portfolio as discussed for the three month periods above.

Total Interest Expense - Total interest expense was $2,779,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 represented a decrease of $556,000 from the $3,335,000 reported for the same six month period in 2003. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits resulting from a general decline in the Bank’s cost of funds as discussed for the three month periods above.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income was $5,011,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5,707,000 for the same six month period in 2003, a decrease of $696,000.

Provision for Loan Losses - The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2,617,000 compared to $300,000 for the same period in 2003. As a result of its recurring quarterly analysis of loan loss reserve adequacy, management determined that an increase to the provision was required. For details of the analysis and methodology, see “Risk Elements”.

Total Other Income - Total other income for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 was $1,475,000 compared to $2,731,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $1,256,000. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in net gains on loan sales of $1,103,000 and a decrease in net gains on the sale of investment securities of $252,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in BOLI income of $150,000.

Gains of $111,000 were recorded on the sale of $4.8 million of fixed rate, 1-4 family residential mortgages to Freddie Mac for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The Company also sold student loans totaling $5.5 million with gains of $83,000 in 2004. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, $32.1 million of fixed rated, 1-4 family residential mortgages were sold resulting in a gain of $1.2 million. In addition to the sale of mortgages, the Company also sold $6.6 million in student loans during the first quarter of 2003 which resulted in a gain of $99,000.

Total Other Expense - Total other expense of $5,789,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5,345,000 for the same six month period in 2003. This represented an increase of $444,000 or 8.3%. The increase is primarily derived from an increase in professional fees of $238,000 and salaries and employee benefits expense of $157,000. The increase in professional fees was due to the merger related expenses and is expected to continue to increase for the next two quarters or until the consummation of the proposed merger with F.N.B. Corporation. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is discussed above.

Net Loss - Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 was $1,124,000, a decrease of $3,067,000 from net income of $1,943,000 reported at June 30, 2003. Earnings (loss) per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 were $(0.41), a decrease of $1.11 from $0.70 per share earned during the same six month period in 2003.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased $4.9 million or 1.5% from December 31, 2003 to $330.1 million at June 30, 2004. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a decrease in net loans of $14.1 million which was partially offset by an increase in available for sale investment securities of $6.6 million. Total gross loans (including loans available for sale) decreased $9.3 million from December 31, 2003 due to general economic conditions and the sale of $5.5 million in student loans discussed above. The increase in available for sale investment securities is due to the purchase of $15.9 million in securities during the first two quarters of 2004. Se also “Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 – Total Interest Income”

At June 30, 2004, the Company serviced approximately $97.1 million in sold fixed rate mortgages. As discussed above, sales of fixed rate mortgages for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 totaled $4.8 million with net gains of $111,000. Management anticipates future sales of fixed rate mortgages; however, the extent to which the Company participates in the secondary market will be dependent upon demand for fixed rate mortgages in the market place, liquidity needs of the Company and interest rate risk exposure. Management will continue to obtain the necessary documentation to allow loans to be sold in the secondary market, so that if liquidity or market conditions dictate, management will be able to respond to these conditions.

Premises and equipment also increased $448,000 from December 31, 2003 to $9.7 million. This increase is a result of additional fixed assets in relation to the expansion of the Company’s operations center.

Total deposits of $264.3 million at June 30, 2004 represented a decrease of $2.8 million or 1.0% from $267.1 million at December 31, 2003. Money market accounts had the largest decrease of $2.3 million followed by interest-bearing demand and time deposits of $2.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $3.0 million. See also “Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 – Total Interest Expense”

Short-term borrowings increased $590,000 from December 31, 2003 to $6.0 million. This increase is due to an increase in short-term repurchase agreements.

Management has calculated and monitored risk-based and leverage capital ratios in order to assess compliance with regulatory guidelines. The following schedule presents certain regulatory capital ratio requirements along with the Company’s position at June 30, 2004:

                                 
    Actual
  Minimum   Well
    Amount
  Ratio
  Ratio
  Capitalized
Tier 1 risk - based capital
  $ 28,551       13.70 %     4.00 %     6.00 %
Total risk - based capital
    31,191       14.97       8.00       10.00  
Leverage capital
    28,551       8.54       4.00       5.00  

As the above table illustrates, the Company exceeds both the minimum and well-capitalized regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2004. The Bank’s regulatory capital amounts, as of the report date, did not differ significantly from that of the Company.

LIQUIDITY

The principal functions of the Company’s asset/liability management program are to provide adequate liquidity and to monitor interest rate sensitivity. Liquidity represents the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of both depositors and customers requesting bank credit. Asset liquidity is provided by repayments and the management of maturity distributions for loans and securities. An important aspect of asset liquidity lies in maintaining adequate levels of adjustable rate, short term, or relatively risk free interest earning assets. Management evaluates the Company’s liquidity position over 30 day, 60 day, and 90+ day time horizons. The analysis not only identifies liquidity within the balance sheet, but off balance sheet as well. It identifies anticipated sources and uses of funds as well as potential sources and uses. Anticipated needs include liquidity for credit demand, commitments to purchase assets, and anticipated deposit decreases. Anticipated sources include cash (net of reserve requirements), maturing investment securities, daily federal funds sold, anticipated deposit increases, and the repayment of loans and mortgage backed securities. Potential uses include unfunded loan commitments available on lines of credit. Potential sources include borrowing capacity available to the Company through the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). At June 30, 2004, for the 30-day horizon, the Company had a net anticipated funding position of 5.9% of total assets. This ratio was 1.3% at December 31, 2003. Management views this ratio to be at an adequate level.

Management also monitors its liquidity by the Company’s loans to deposits ratio. The gross loans (including loans held for sale) to deposits ratio was 75.6% at June 30, 2004 as compared to 78.3% at December 31, 2003 and 80.3% at June 30, 2003.

The Company’s liquidity plan allows for the use of long-term advances or short-term lines of credit with the FHLB as a source of funds. Borrowing from the FHLB not only provides a source of liquidity for the Company, but also serves as a tool to reduce interest rate risk. The Company may structure borrowings from FHLB to match those of customer credit requests, and therefore, lock in interest rate spreads over the lives of the loans. At June 30, 2004, the Company continued to have three such matched funding loans outstanding totaling $104,000.

The Company continues to also have short-term borrowing availability through FHLB “RepoPlus” advances. “RepoPlus” advances are short-term advances subject to annual renewal, incur no service charges, bear a fixed rate of interest, and are secured by a blanket security agreement of qualifying residential mortgages. At June

Table of Contents

30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no “RepoPlus” advances outstanding. The Company’s remaining borrowing capacity with FHLB was $111.5 million at June 30, 2004.

The Company has outstanding a Convertible Select advance with the FHLB for general liquidity purposes in the amount of $30.0 million at a rate of 5.11%. The 10year/1year advance matures in 2011 with the opportunity to reprice quarterly, if the strike rate is attained. The strike rate of 7.50% is tied to the 3-month London Inter-bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”); accordingly, the advance will maintain at its fixed rate unless 3-month LIBOR rises to 7.50%. At June 30, 2004 the 3-month LIBOR was 1.60%. Interest is paid quarterly to the FHLB at a rate of 5.11%. The advance is subject to prepayment penalties.

In addition to borrowing from the FHLB as a source for liquidity, as mentioned earlier, the Company also continued activity in the secondary mortgage market. Specifically, the Company sold fixed rate residential real estate mortgages to Freddie Mac. The sales to Freddie Mac not only provide an opportunity for the Company to remain competitive in the market place by allowing it to offer a fixed rate mortgage product, but also provide an additional source of liquidity. Loan sales on the secondary market also provide management an additional tool to use in managing interest rate risk exposure within the balance sheet. The Company continues to service all loans sold to Freddie Mac.

The Statement of Cash Flows, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, indicated a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million. Cash was provided from proceeds from sales of mortgage loans and student loans of $4.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and proceeds from sales, maturities, and repayments of available for sale securities of $8.3 million. Cash was used during the period primarily for the origination of loans held for sale of $7.2 million and the purchase of available for sale investments of $15.9 million. Cash dividends paid during the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 totaled $820,000. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $22.8 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.7 million from $24.5 million at December 31, 2003.

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely affect its liquidity or ability to meet its funding needs in the normal course of business.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004 totaled $5,522,000 or 2.76% of total gross loans (including loans held for sale) as compared to $3,106,000 or 1.48% at December 31, 2003. Provisions for loan losses were $2,617,000 and $300,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Based on the Bank’s methodology for evaluating the level of the loan loss allowance, management determined it was appropriate to increase the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2004.

In determining the level at which the allowance for loan losses should be maintained, management relies on in-house quarterly reviews of significant loans and commitments outstanding, including a continuing review of problem or non-performing loans and overall portfolio quality. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are risk-rated by loan officers, loan committee and the board of directors and are independently verified by credit administration and loan review. Consumer and residential real estate loans are generally reviewed in the aggregate due to their relative smaller dollar size and homogeneous nature. Specific provision and allowance allocations are made for risk-rated loans that have been analyzed. These allocations are based upon specific borrower data, such as non-performance, delinquency, financial performance, capacity to repay, and collateral valuation. Non-account specific allocations are made for all remaining loans within the portfolio based on recent charge-off history, other known trends and expected losses. In addition, allocations are made for

Table of Contents

qualitative factors such as changes in the local, regional and national economies, industry trends, loan growth, and loan administration. A quarterly report and recommendation is presented to and approved by the Board of Directors.

Based on this analysis, management’s review of updated financial information provided by borrowers indicated deterioration in the financial condition of certain borrowers due to the current economic environment. Management determined to lower the risk ratings on approximately $8.3 million of loans comprised primarily of commercial loans secured by real estate for the period ended June 30, 2004. The risk-rating changes in the second quarter resulted in increased provision expense of $2,317,000 and an increase in non-performing loans for the second quarter of 2004 presented in the table above.

Although, management believes the allowance is adequate to cover probable losses inherent within the loan portfolio, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic assumptions used in making its determinations. In addition, no assurances can be made concerning the future financial condition of borrowers, the deterioration of which would require additional provisions in subsequent periods.

Non-accrual/Impaired Loans

A loan is classified as nonaccrual if, in the opinion of management, reasonable doubt as to the collectibility of the account arises. In addition, commercial, financial and agricultural loans are classified as nonaccrual when the loans become 90 days or more past due, and all other loans 120 days or more past due. At the time the account is placed on nonaccrual status, all previously accrued interest is charged against current earnings. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received, depending on management’s assessment of the collectibility of principal. At June 30, 2004, the Company had nonaccrual loans of $7,219,000.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Included in the nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2004 were impaired loans totaling $6.5 million. The average balance of impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.9 million. Impaired loans had a related allowance allocation of $1,506,000 and no income was recognized in 2004 for any loans while they were classified as impaired.

The increase in classified loans, non-accrual loans and impaired loans and ultimately, loan loss reserve levels, resulted principally from current economic conditions and management’s review of updated financial information provided by borrowers during the second quarter of 2004.

Of the fourteen credit relationships downgraded during the quarter, three commercial loan relationships represented approximately $3.5 million of the total increase in impaired loans and $1.4 million of the increase in loan loss reserves at June 30, 2004. Each of these loans are in our market area. Each of the credits were classified as impaired and placed in non-accrual status due to the deteriorating financial condition of the borrowers, however, all three relationships continue to perform according to their original contractual agreements.

  The largest of these borrowers has several credits totaling $1.5 million which are secured by various commercial and residential real estate properties, equipment and receivables and are related to the operation of an excavation and construction business. These credits were classified as impaired and placed in non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2004 due to the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower and due to a lack of updated equipment valuations for which the Company has a secured interest. The borrower continues to pay as agreed.
 
  The second borrower relationship with credits totaling $1.4 million was also classified as impaired and placed in non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2004 due to the deteriorating financial condition of

    the borrower. These credits pertain to a leasing company and are collateralized by commercial real estate as well as personal guarantees of the borrower and related entities. The borrower continues to pay as agreed.
 
  The third credit relationship totaling $583,000 involves a borrower in the restaurant business. This credit relationship was classified as impaired and placed in non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2004 due to the borrower’s deteriorating financial condition. The relationship is collateralized by the restaurant and the owner’s primary residence and continues to pay as agreed.

The remaining eleven relationships that were downgraded during the second quarter of 2004 had average outstanding loan balances of approximately $600,000 and represented approximately $800,000 of increase in provision expense during the quarter.

Based on the current reserve levels and the collateral securing the credits, management does not consider any of the remaining non-performing loans to pose any further significant risk to the capital position or future earnings of the Company.

Based on the current reserve levels and the collateral securing the credits, management believes none of the non-performing assets, including other real estate owned, at June 30, 2004, pose any significant risk to the operations, liquidity or capital position of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and paying liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk, and has no trading portfolio, and therefore, is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market value of long-term interest-earning assets. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are dependent upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

One of the principal functions of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability program is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of a bank’s rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing “gap”, provide an indication of the extent that the Company’s net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap, a position of more rate sensitive assets than rate sensitive liabilities, is desired. During a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap is desired, that is, a position in which rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had a cumulative negative gap of $72.1 million at the one-year horizon. The gap analysis indicates that if interest rates were to rise 100 basis points (1.00%), the Company’s net interest income would decline at the one-year horizon because the Company’s rate sensitive liabilities would reprice faster than rate sensitive assets. Conversely, if rates were to fall 100 basis points, the Company would earn more in net interest income. However, not all assets and liabilities with similar maturities and repricing opportunities will reprice at the same time or to the same degree. The pricing on all deposit products, for example, is determined by management, and therefore can be controlled as to the extent and timing of repricing. As a result, the Company’s gap position does not necessarily predict the impact on interest income given a

18

change in interest rate levels.

Management also manages interest rate risk with the use of simulation modeling which measures the sensitivity of future net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. The analysis is based on repricing opportunities for variable rate assets and liabilities and upon contractual maturities of fixed rate instruments.

The simulation also calculates net interest income based upon rate increases or decreases of +300 basis points (or 3.00%) or -100 basis points (or 1.00%) in 100 basis point (or 1.00%) increments. The analysis reprices the balance sheet and forecasts future cash flows over a one-year horizon at the new interest rate levels. The cash flows are then totaled to calculate net interest income. Assumptions are made for loan and investment pre-payment speeds and are incorporated into the simulation as well. Loan and investment pre-payment speeds will increase as interest rates decrease and slow as interest rates rise. The current analysis indicates that, given a 100 basis point overnight decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a potential $136,000 or 1.3% decline in net interest income. If rates were to increase 300 basis points, the analysis indicates that the Company’s net interest income would decrease $259,000 or 2.5%. It is important to note, however, that this exercise would be of a worst-case scenario. It would be more likely to have incremental changes in interest rates, rather than a single significant increase or decrease. When management believes interest rate movements will occur, it can restructure the balance sheet and thereby the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities, which in turn will affect the net interest income. As mentioned earlier, in gap analysis, as well as in simulation analysis, not all assets and liabilities with similar maturities and repricing opportunities will reprice at the same time or to the same degree and therefore, could effect forecasted results.

Much of the Company’s deposits have the ability to reprice immediately; however, deposit rates are not tied to an external index. As a result, although changing market interest rates impact repricing, the Company retains much of the control over repricing by determining itself the extent and timing of repricing of deposit products. In addition, the Company maintains a significant portion of its investment portfolio as available for sale securities and also has a significant variable rate loan portfolio, which is used to offset rate sensitive liabilities.

Changes in market interest rates can also affect the Company’s liquidity position through the impact rate changes may have on the market value of the available for sale portion of the investment portfolio. Increases in market rates can adversely impact the market values and therefore, make it more difficult for the Bank to sell available for sale securities needed for general liquidity purposes without incurring a loss on the sale. This issue is addressed by the Company with the use of borrowings from the FHLB and the selling of fixed rate mortgages as a source of liquidity to the Company.

The Company’s liquidity plan allows for the use of long-term advances or short-term lines of credit with the FHLB as a source of funds. Borrowing from FHLB not only provides a source of liquidity for the Company, but also serves as a tool to reduce interest risk as well. The Company may structure borrowings from FHLB to match those of customer credit requests, and therefore, lock in interest rate spreads over the lives of the loans.

In addition to borrowing from the FHLB as a source for liquidity, the Company also participates in the secondary mortgage market. Specifically, the Company sells fixed rate, residential real estate mortgages to the Freddie Mac. The sales to Freddie Mac not only provide an opportunity for the Bank to remain competitive in the market place, by allowing it to offer a fixed rate mortgage product, but also provide an additional source of liquidity and an additional tool for management to limit interest rate risk exposure. The Bank continues to service all loans sold to Freddie Mac.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that

19


Table of Contents

evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, and, thus, the Company’s management cannot provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In January 2004, two lawsuits were filed by a borrower and guarantor arising out of financings by the Bank consummated in March 1998. These suits were filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. Todd W. Booher v. First National Bank of Slippery Rock (Case No. 10124 of 2004, C.A.) and Estate of Pansie Booher v. First National Bank of Slippery Rock (Case No. 10125 of 2004, C.A.). Among other things, the suits allege that as a result of the Bank’s commercially unreasonable sale of certain collateral, the plaintiff suffered losses of approximately $1.3 million. The Corporation has filed preliminary objections to the complaints. The Corporation believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend. However, no assurances can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these proceedings.
