PART I

ITEM 1. Business.

First Community Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) is a one bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation is headquartered in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania and was organized on November 13, 1984 for the purpose of acquiring First National Bank of Mifflintown (the “Bank”) as a wholly-owned national bank subsidiary. The Corporation’s principal activity consists of owning and supervising the Bank, which is engaged in providing banking and banking related services in central Pennsylvania, principally in Juniata and Perry Counties. The day-to-day management of the Bank is conducted by its officers, subject to review by its Board of Directors. Each Director of the Corporation also is a Director of the Bank. The Corporation derives substantially all of its current income from the Bank. The Corporation also has made certain investments in other Pennsylvania banking institutions, the dividends on which also are included in our current income.

First National Bank of Mifflintown.

The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Merger consummated in April 1985. The Bank was originally chartered as a private bank in 1864 and converted to a national bank in 1889. The Bank conducts business through eleven full service banking offices. The main banking office is located in the Borough of Mifflintown, four branch offices are maintained in Juniata County and six branch offices are maintained in Perry County, Pennsylvania.

As of December 31, 2004, the Bank had total assets of $247.7 Million, total shareholders’ equity of $17.4 Million, and total deposits of $203.1 Million.

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) to the extent provided by law. The Bank provides a wide range of banking services to businesses and individuals, with particular emphasis on serving the needs of the individual consumer. Banking services include secured and unsecured financing, real estate financing, agricultural financing, mortgage lending, and trust and other related services, as well as checking, savings and time deposits, and a wide variety of other financial services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and governmental bodies

The Bank concentrates its lending activities on residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial loans, agricultural loans and consumer installment loans. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by commercial and residential real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral. Loan approvals are made in accordance with a policy that includes delegated authorities approved by the Board of Directors. Loans are approved at various management levels up to and including the Board of Directors, depending on the amount of the loan.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2004, residential real estate loans represented 67.1% of the total loan portfolio. These types of loans represent a relatively low level of risk, especially in the absence of speculative lending. The most prominent risks in this market are those associated with declining economic conditions resulting from economic downturns and increases in unemployment, which could affect borrowers’ abilities to repay loans. The Bank limits its risk in this area by requiring private mortgage insurance for all residential real estate loans in excess of 80% of the appraised value.

Commercial real estate loans represented 21.2%, commercial loans represented 9.4% and agricultural loans represented 0.6% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2004. Commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans to local businesses where the collateral for the loans includes the real estate occupied by the business. Commercial loans are comprised of loans to small businesses whose demand for funds fall within the legal lending limits of the Bank. The Bank’s agricultural loans generally consist of operating lines used to finance farming operations through the growing season and term loans to finance farm equipment purchases. Risks associated with these types of loans can be significant and include, but are not limited to, fraud, bankruptcy, economic downturn, deteriorated or non-existing collateral and changes in interest rates. The Bank controls risk by using certified appraisers in determining property values, by performing thorough credit analysis and by limiting the Bank’s total exposure to these types of loans. Additionally, the Bank generally does not lend above 80% of the collateral value and does not have significant loan concentrations within any one business industry.

As of December 31, 2004, consumer installment loans represented 3.2% of the total loan portfolio and are made on a secured and unsecured basis, primarily to fund personal, family and household purposes, including loans for automobiles, home improvement, education loans and investments. Risks associated with consumer installment loans include, but are not limited to, fraud, deteriorated or non-existing collateral, general economic downturn and customer financial problems. Risk in this area is limited by analyzing creditworthiness and controlling debt to income limits.

The Bank’s Trust Department provides a broad range of personal and corporate trust services. It administers and provides investment management services for estates, trusts, agency accounts and employee benefit plans. For the year ended December 31, 2004, income from the Bank’s fiduciary activities amounted to $346,000 and the Bank had assets worth $61.3 million under management in its Trust Department at that time.

The Bank is subject to regulation and periodic examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).

During the last three years, the Corporation has experienced substantial growth. Specifically, the Corporation’s total assets increased from $182.5 million as of December 31, 2001 to $247.7 million as of December 31, 2004, funded primarily by an increase in the Bank’s total deposits over this period from $154.0 million to $203.1 million. Additionally, the Bank’s loans increased from $114.8 million to $147.5 million over this same period, while the Corporation’s net income increased from $1.3 million to $2.1 million.

Table of Contents

The growth in the Bank’s deposits and loans reflect its efforts to increase its market share in Juniata and Perry Counties and is largely attributable to the maturation of the Bank’s newer branches in East Waterford, Juniata County and Loysville, New Bloomfield and Shermans Dale, Perry County.

Market Area and Competition.

The Bank’s market area lies within Juniata and Perry Counties, Pennsylvania. By all indications, this region has good economic prospects. Juniata and Perry Counties had a combined population of approximately 66,000 in 2000, representing an increase from 1990 of 10.6% for Juniata County and 5.9% for Perry County. The primary industries in the region are agriculture and timber/woodworking. Unemployment rates in 2000 of 7.1% in Juniata County and 3.0% in Perry County reflect a relatively stable workforce. With a stable workforce and growing population, the Corporation believes that the region’s economic prospects are positive.

As of June 30, 2004, four commercial banks (the Bank, Juniata Valley Bank, Omega Bank, N.A. and Mifflinburg Bank & Trust Company) operated offices in Juniata County. Of all financial institutions operating in Juniata County, the Bank ranked second in terms of total deposits at June 30, 2004 with 39.94%. The Juniata Valley Bank ranked first with 42.08% and Omega Bank, N.A. ranked third with 11.14%. With the exception of Mifflinburg Bank & Trust, each of the institutions with which the Bank competes in Juniata County is substantially larger than the Bank. With the advantages of larger asset and capital bases, these competitors tend to have larger lending limits and tend to offer a wider variety of services than does the Bank.

In Perry County, the Bank faces competition from seven banks. Several of these competitors also are substantially larger than the Bank and are likely to enjoy the competitive advantages provided by larger asset and capital bases. Moreover, the Perry County market is less concentrated, and therefore more competitive, than the Juniata County market. The Bank’s principal competitors in Perry County are Bank of Landisburg, with approximately 29.65% of deposits at June 30, 2004, and First National Bank of Newport, with approximately 20.81%. The Bank has 10.45% of the deposits in Perry County.

The Bank also competes with other types of financial institutions, including credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies and retailers. Deposit deregulation has intensified the competition for deposits in recent years.

Supervision and Regulation

As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Reserve Board. The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Bank is a member of the Bank Insurance Fund which is administered by the FDIC. The Bank is therefore subject to regulation by the FDIC but, as a national bank, is primarily regulated and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

Table of Contents

The Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Corporation. The BHC Act requires each bank holding company to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank, or before it may acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting shares of such bank.

Pursuant to provisions of the BHC Act and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board thereunder, the Corporation may only engage in or own companies that engage in activities deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks, and the Corporation must gain permission from the Federal Reserve Board prior to engaging in most new business activities.

A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the BHC Act on any extensions of credit to the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prevented from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

Source of Strength Doctrine.

Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve Board’s policy that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve Board to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve Board regulations or both. This doctrine is commonly known as the “source of strength” doctrine.

Dividends.

Dividends are paid by the Corporation from its earnings, which are mainly provided by dividends from the Bank. However, certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the Bank’s net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years. Under this restriction, at December 31, 2004, the Bank, without prior regulatory approval, could currently declare dividends to the Corporation totaling approximately $4,509,000.

Capital Adequacy.

The federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks, such as the Corporation and the Bank. Currently, the required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common shareholders’ equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. The remainder (Tier 2 capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal banking regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the 3% stated minimum. The Corporation and the Bank exceed all applicable capital requirements.

FDICIA.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) was enacted into law in 1991. FDICIA established five different levels of capitalization of financial institutions, with “prompt corrective actions” and significant operational restrictions imposed on institutions that are capital deficient under the categories. The five categories are: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

To be considered well capitalized, an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, a leverage capital ratio of 5%, and must not be subject to any order or directive requiring the institution to improve its capital level. An institution falls within the adequately capitalized category if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, and a leverage capital ratio of at least 4%. Institutions with lower capital levels are deemed to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized, depending on their actual capital levels. In addition, the appropriate federal regulatory agency may downgrade an institution to the next lower capital category upon a determination that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition, or is engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. Institutions are required under FDICIA to closely monitor their capital levels and to notify their appropriate regulatory agency of any basis for a change in capital category. Regulatory oversight of an institution becomes more stringent with each lower capital category, with certain “prompt corrective actions” imposed depending on the level of capital deficiency. On December 31, 2004, the Corporation and the Bank each exceeded the minimum capital levels of the well capitalized category.

Other Provisions of FDICIA.

Each depository institution must submit audited financial statements to its primary regulator and the FDIC, which reports are made publicly available. In addition, the audit committee of each depository institution must consist of outside directors and the audit committee at “large institutions” (as defined by FDIC regulation) must include members with banking or financial management expertise. The audit committee at “large institutions” must also have access to independent outside counsel. In addition, an institution must notify the FDIC and the institution’s primary regulator of any change in the institution’s independent auditor, and annual management letters must be provided to the FDIC and the depository institution’s primary regulator. The regulations define a “large institution” as one with over $500 million in assets, which does not include the Bank. Also, under the rule, an institution’s independent auditor must examine the institution’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Under FDICIA, each federal banking agency must prescribe certain safety and soundness standards for depository institutions and their holding companies. Three types of standards must be prescribed: asset quality and earnings, operational and managerial, and compensation. Such standards would include a ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings, and, to the extent feasible, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for publicly traded securities of such institutions and holding companies. Operational and managerial standards must relate to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting, (iv) interest rate exposure, (v) asset growth, and (vi) compensation, fees and benefits.

Provisions of FDICIA relax certain requirements for mergers and acquisitions among financial institutions, including authorization of mergers of insured institutions that are not members of the same insurance fund, and provide specific authorization for a federally chartered savings association or national bank to be acquired by an insured depository institution.

Under FDICIA, all depository institutions must provide 90 days notice to their primary federal regulator of branch closings, and penalties are imposed for false reports by financial institutions. Depository institutions with assets in excess of $250 million must be examined on-site annually by their primary federal or state regulator or the FDIC.

FDICIA also sets forth Truth in Savings disclosure and advertising requirements applicable to all depository institutions.

FDIC Insurance.

As an institution whose deposits are insured by the FDIC, the Bank is also subject to insurance assessments imposed by the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk related premium assessment system for both the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) for banks and the Savings Association Insurance fund (“SAIF”) for savings associations. Under this system, FDIC insurance premiums are assessed based on capital and supervisory measures.

6

Table of Contents

Under the risk related premium assessment system, the FDIC, on a semiannual basis, assigns each institution to one of three capital groups (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) and further assigns such institution to one of three subgroups within a capital group corresponding to the FDIC’s judgment of its strength based on supervisory evaluations, including examination reports, statistical analysis, and other information relevant to gauging the risk posed by the institution. Only institutions with a total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 capital to risk adjusted assets ratio of 6% or greater, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% or greater, are assigned to the well capitalized group.

The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 recapitalized SAIF and provided for repayment of the FICO (Financial Institution Collateral Obligation) bonds issued by the United States Treasury Department. Since 1999, BIF and SAIF share the FICO cost equally. The FICO assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment bases of the respective funds based on quarterly Call Report submissions. For the fourth quarter of 2004, the FICO assessment rate for BIF and SAIF was approximately 1.46 cents per $100 of deposits. The FICO bonds will mature in 2017-2019, ending the interest payment obligation.

In 2004, the Bank’s FDIC assessment was $28,000.

Community Reinvestment Act.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) and implementing regulations of the banking agencies, a financial institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound operation, to meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions, nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services it believes to be best suited to its particular community. The CRA requires that bank regulatory agencies conduct regular CRA examinations and provide written evaluations of institutions’ CRA performance. The CRA also requires that an institution’s CRA performance rating be made public. CRA performance evaluations are based on a four-tiered rating system: Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve and Substantial Noncompliance. Although CRA examinations occur on a regular basis, CRA performance evaluations have been used principally in the evaluation of regulatory applications submitted by an institution. CRA performance evaluations are considered in evaluating applications for such things as mergers, acquisitions and applications to open branches. A bank holding company cannot elect to be a “financial holding company” with the expanded securities, insurance and other powers that designation entails unless all of the depository institutions owned by the holding company have a CRA rating of satisfactory or better. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also provides that a financial institution with total assets of $250 million or less, such as the Bank, will be subject to CRA examinations no more frequently than every 5 years if its most recent CRA rating was “outstanding,” or every 4 years if its rating was “satisfactory.” Following a CRA examination as of November 17, 2003, the Bank received a rating of “satisfactory.”

Financial Services Modernization Legislation.

In 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed into law. This financial services reform law has had and will continue to have a significant impact on all financial institutions, including banks. The impact of the act is two-fold. First, the Act has swept away much of the regulatory structure established in the 1930’s under the Glass-Steagall Act. The law creates opportunities for banks, other depository institutions, insurance companies, and securities firms to enter into business combinations that permit a single financial services organization to offer customers a complete array of financial products. The result will be increased competition in the market place for banks and other financial institutions, tempered by an enhanced ability to compete in this new market. Banks, insurance companies and securities firms may now affiliate through a “financial holding company” and engage in a broad range of activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board and the Department of Treasury. The new activities that the Act permits for financial holding companies and their affiliates are those that are financial in nature or incidental to financial activities, including insurance underwriting, investment banking, investment advisory services and securities brokerage services. The Federal Reserve maintains the authority to require that the financial holding company remain well capitalized and well managed.

In addition, national banks are authorized to conduct these activities through “financial subsidiaries,” under the supervision of the Department of Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, except that national bank subsidiaries may not engage in insurance underwriting, merchant banking, insurance company portfolio investment, or real estate investment and development.

Secondly, the Act has altered the regulatory boundaries for all financial services organizations, including the Bank. For example, by repealing an exemption from SEC broker/dealer registration formerly enjoyed by banks for their securities activities, the Act adds a potential layer of SEC regulation to the bank’s regulatory structure.

To the extent that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits banks, securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. This could result in a growing number of larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than the Bank is able to offer and that can aggressively compete in the markets that the Bank intends to serve.

Other Laws and Regulations

State usury and credit laws limit the amount of interest and various other charges collected or contracted by a bank on loans. The Bank’s loans are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the following:

The Bank has adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other senior officers. Because the Bank’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer also serve, respectively, as the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Corporation, the Bank’s code of ethics applies to them in their capacities as officers of the Corporation as well. A copy of the code of ethics is available, without charge, upon written request to Richard R. Leitzel, Chief Financial Officer, First Community Financial Corporation, Two North Main Street, Mifflintown, Pennsylvania 17059.
